And David saith, "Let their table be made a snare to take them withal, and an occasion to fall, and a reward unto them.

But to you Gentiles I say that, since I am an Apostle specially sent to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry,

For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

So take a look at the goodness and the severity of God; severity to those who have fallen, but goodness to you, on condition that you continue to live by His goodness; otherwise, you too will be pruned away.

And so [i.e., in this way] all the Israelites will be saved. [Note: The "all" here is thought by many to refer to a large number of the physical Jews who will be saved, not necessarily to every single individual Jew]. Even as it is written [Isa. 59:20-21], "The Deliverer [i.e., Christ] will come from Zion [i.e., the city of Jerusalem, or from the nation of Israel]. He will take away the wickedness from Jacob [i.e., the Jews]."

For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

In virtue of my office, I tell everyone of your number who is self-important, that he is not to think more of himself than he ought to think; he must take a sane view of himself, corresponding to the degree of faith which God has assigned to each.

If it is service, he must serve; if it is teaching, he must teach;

Let him that teacheth take heed to his doctrine; Let him that exhorteth give attendance to his exhortation; If any man give, let him do it with singleness; Let him that ruleth do it with diligence; If any man show mercy let him do it with cheerfulness.

Be enthusiastic instead of lazy. Be fervent in your spirit [Note: Some translators take "spirit" here to refer to the "Holy Spirit"], [as you] serve the Lord.

Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses.

Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.

Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men.

Do not take revenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to [God's] wrath, for it is written, "Vengeance [is] mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

For they are servants of God for your good. But you should be afraid if you do what is evil, because they do not carry the sword [i.e., for executing criminals] for nothing. For they are servants of God who take revenge [on wrongdoing] by punishing the person who does evil.

For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.

And this, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not put to death, Do not take what is another's, Do not have desire for what is another's, and if there is any other order, it is covered by this word, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

The night is far spent; The day is at hand. Let is therefore take off the deeds of darkness, Let us put on the armor of light.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to fulfil its lusts.

HIM that is weak in faith take by the hand, and enter not into niceties of disputes.

One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.

Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval.

He who keeps the day, keeps it to the Lord; and he who takes food, takes it as to the Lord, for he gives praise to God; and he who does not take food, to the Lord he takes it not, and gives praise to God.

But you, why do you make yourself your brother's judge? or again, why have you no respect for your brother? because we will all have to take our place before God as our judge.

If your brother is pained by the food you are eating, your conduct is no longer controlled by love. Take care lest, by the food you eat, you lead to ruin a man for whom Christ died.

It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother.

We, the strong, ought to take on our own shoulders the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not merely to please ourselves.

So then, take one another to your hearts, as Christ took us, to the glory of God.

And again he says, Take part, you Gentiles, in the joy of his people.

Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;

but now having no more to detain me in these parts, and having had a great desire for many years to come to you, when I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you:

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

Just now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem, to take help to Christ's People there.

For [the Christians in] Macedonia and Achaia [Note: These were provinces in Greece] thought it was a good idea to take up an offering for the poor saints at Jerusalem.

Well, once I finish this business by putting the proceeds of the collection safely in their hands, I will start for Spain and take you on the way.

That you will take her in kindly, after the way of the saints, as one who is the Lord's, and give her help in anything in which she may have need of you: because she has been a help to a great number and to myself.

Salute Mary, who took much pains on our account.

Now, it is my desire, brothers, that you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away from them.

Yet there is a philosophy that we teach to those whose faith is matured, but it is not the philosophy of to-day, nor that of the leaders of to-day-men whose downfall is at hand.

No, it is a divine philosophy that we teach, one concerned with the hidden purpose of God-that long-hidden philosophy which God, before time began, destined for our glory.

For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

I gave you milk and not meat, because you were, then, unable to take it, and even now you are not able;

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

So let no one take pride in men. For all things are yours;

As for us Apostles, let any one take this view of us--we are Christ's officers, and stewards of God's secret truths.

In writing this much, brethren, with special reference to Apollos and myself, I have done so for your sakes, in order to teach you by our example what those words mean, which say, "Nothing beyond what is written!" --so that you may cease to take sides in boastful rivalry, for one teacher against another.

We work [for our living], working hard with our own hands. When we are reviled and verbally abused, we bless. When we are persecuted, we take it patiently and endure.

So my desire is that you take me as your example.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.

Take away, then, the old leaven, so that you may be a new mass, even as you are without leaven. For Christ has been put to death as our Passover.

But I had not in mind the sinners who are outside the church, or those who have a desire for and take the property of others, or those who give worship to images; for it is not possible to keep away from such people without going out of the world completely:

But the sense of my letter was that if a brother had the name of being one who went after the desires of the flesh, or had the desire for other people's property, or was in the way of using violent language, or being the worse for drink, or took by force what was not his, you might not keep company with such a one, or take food with him.

Take away the wicked person from you, yourselves.

When one of you has a complaint against another, does he dare to take the matter before those who are unrighteous and not before the saints?

If ye have judgments of worldly matters, take them which are despised in the congregation, and make them judges.

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

So far from doing this, you yourselves do wrong and take your brothers' property.

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Do not deprive each other of what is due-unless it is only for a time and by mutual consent, so that your minds may be free for prayer till you again live as man and wife-lest Satan should take advantage of your want of self-control and tempt you.

But if the unbeliever wants a divorce, let it take place. In these circumstances the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you in peace.

Were you called while a slave? It should not be a concern to you. But if you can become free, by all means take the opportunity.

If you are married to a wife, make no attempt to get free from her: if you are free from a wife, do not take a wife.

But and if thou take a wife, thou sinnest not. Likewise if a virgin marry, she sinneth not. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in their flesh: but I saver you.

If, however, a father thinks that he is not acting fairly by his unmarried daughter, when she is past her youth, and if under these circumstances her marriage ought to take place, let him act as he thinks right. He is doing nothing wrong-let the marriage take place.

But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?

Therefore if what I eat causes my brother to fall, never again to the end of my days will I touch any kind of animal food, for fear I should cause my brother to fall.

Have we no right to take food and drink?

have we not a right to take round a sister as wife, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

Or I only and Barnabas, have we no right to take a rest from work?

Who ever goes to war without looking to someone to be responsible for his payment? who puts in vines and does not take the fruit of them? or who takes care of sheep without drinking of their milk?

Do I say these things from a purely human standpoint, or does not the law of Moses also teach the same thing?

For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

But I have used none of these things. Neither wrote I these things that it should be so done unto me. For it were better for me to die than any man should take this rejoicing from me.

What pay then do I get? Why, that in my preaching I can offer the good news without cost, and so not take full advantage of my rights as a preacher.

Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.

And they all took the same holy food;

And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.

But in the most of them God took no pleasure; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

And in this they became a warning to us, to teach us not to be eager, as they were eager, in pursuit of what is evil.

Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?

Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.

See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?

It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.

Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;

If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.

But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.

but I would have you take notice, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the wife, is the man; and the head of Christ, is God.

Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.

Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:
