I say

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you,

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

For God is my witness, how earnestly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

of which I am ordained a preacher and apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not,) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

I adjure thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

My conscience

which exhibit the practice of the law written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing its testimony, and their mutual reasonings at intervals bringing accusations or forming excuses;)

For the end of the commandment is love out of a clean heart, and good conscience, and faith unfeigned:

and hereby we know that we are of the truth, and in his presence have this persuasion in our hearts.
