Ye are the salt of the earth. But if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall itself be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.

In like manner let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

And fear not those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

And they who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

For what will a man be profited, if be gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

The disciples say to him, If such be the case of a man with his wife, it is not good to marry.

and that ye put on the new man, who was created according to God in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

and have put on the new man, who is renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him;

And may the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved whole, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, both the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart;

Blessed are the peacemakers; for they will be called sons of God.

that ye may become sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

For what will a man be profited, if be gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

who was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of God.

And he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having fixed appointed times, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us. read more. For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as also some of your own poets have said: "For we are also his offspring."

since they show that what the Law requireth is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts in turn accusing or defending them;

So then as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and thus [death] came through unto all men, because all sinned (for all the time before the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not set to ones account when there is no law. read more. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the manner in which Adam transgressed; who is a type of him who was to come. But the free gift was not as the transgression. For if through the offence of the one the many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abounded to the many. And the free gift is not like what happened through one man who sinned. For sentence of condemnation followed one offence; but the free gift is a justification after many offences. For if by one trespass death reigned through the one man, much more will they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.) As then through one trespass all men have come under condemnation, so through one act of righteousness all obtain the gift of righteousness unto life. For as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of the one man will the many be made righteous. Moreover the law came in in addition, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more; that as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What then shall we say? Is the Law sin? God forbid! But I should not have known sin, except by the Law; for I should not have known sinful desire, unless the Law had said, "Thou shalt not covet." But sin, seizing the opportunity, wrought in me by means of the commandment all manner of sinful desire; for without the Law sin is dead. read more. And I, apart from the Law, was once alive; but when the commandment came, sin came to life again, and I died; and the very commandment whose design was life, I found to issue in death. For sin, seizing the opportunity, deceived me through the commandment, and through it slew me. So that the Law is holy, and the commandment holy, and right, and good. Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be it! but sin; that it might become manifest as sin, causing death to me by means of that which is good; that sin by means of the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, a slave sold to sin. For I know not what I do. For I do not what I would, but I do what I hate. But if I do what I would not, I assent to the Law that it is good. Now, however, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, any good thing; for to desire is present with me, but not to perform that which is good. For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do. But if I do what I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then that there is a law to me, that when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the Law of God, as to the inward man; but I perceive another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death? Thanks be to God, [who hath delivered me] through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, I, the same person, with the mind serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man;

thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that he put all things in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, on account of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor; that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.

and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Then Joseph her husband, being righteous, and not willing to expose her to shame, purposed to put her away privately.

But he answered and said, It is written, "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God."

And the Pharisees came to him, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.

Brethren, I may speak to you with freedom of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us to this day.

And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,

And he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having fixed appointed times, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us.

Brethren and fathers, hear my defence, which I now make to you.

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment;
