But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as those who are of the nations: for they think they shall be heard through their much speaking.

bless those that curse you; pray for those who use you despitefully.

The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?

And when an assault was making, both of those of the nations and the Jews with their rulers, to use them ill and stone them,

which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.

For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature;

and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit.

their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; asps' poison is under their lips:

Hast thou been called being a bondman, let it not concern thee; but and if thou canst become free, use it rather.

and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes.

If others partake of this right over you, should not rather we? But we have not used this right, but we bear all things, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the Christ.

But I have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for it were good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.

as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,

But we, brethren, having been bereaved of you and separated for a little moment in person, not in heart, have used more abundant diligence to see your face with much desire;

Now we know that the law is good if any one uses it lawfully,

Drink no longer only water, but use a little wine on account of thy stomach and thy frequent illnesses.

Use diligence to come to me quickly;

Use diligence to come before winter. Eubulus salutes thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and the brethren all.

When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have decided to winter there.

Let us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest, that no one may fall after the same example of not hearkening to the word.

Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;

but I will use diligence, that after my departure ye should have also, at any time, in your power to call to mind these things.
