'People' in the Bible

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:

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.

In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

Again, what will they do who are given baptism for the dead? if the dead do not come back at all, why are people given baptism for them?

For a great and important door there is open to me, and there are a number of people against me.

For they gave comfort to my spirit and to yours: for which cause give respect to such people.
