in other words, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith.

train the foolish, teach the young, since you have knowledge and truth formulated in the Law??21 why, then, will you teach others and refuse to teach yourself? Will you preach against stealing, and yet steal yourself?

Those others too, if they do not cling to their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.

For the commandments, "You must not commit adultery, You must not murder, You must not steal, You must not covet," and any other commandments there are, are all summed up in one saying, "You must love your neighbor as you do yourself."

You must not, just for the sake of food, undo the work of God. It is true, everything is clean, but it is wrong for a man to hurt the consciences of others by what he eats.

In all this it has been my ambition to preach the good news only where Christ's name was unknown, so as not to build on foundations other men had laid.
