The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;

And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth us, we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,

so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment.

For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;

so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;

Thou hast faith! to thyself have it before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,

for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, 'The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;'
