For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in.

For as you in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

Bless them who persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:

For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.

Therefore you must be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience's sake.

For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

Receive him that is weak in the faith, but not for passing judgment.

Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him who eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.

He that regards the day, regards it unto the Lord; and he that regards not the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

But if your brother is grieved with your food, you no longer walk in love. Destroy not him with your food, for whom Christ died.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

For food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense.

Have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that condemns not himself in that thing which he allows.

And he that doubts is condemned if he eats, because he eats not of faith: for whatever is not of faith is sin.

We then that are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached you fell on me.

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not worked by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;

That you receive her in the Lord, as becomes saints, and that you assist her in whatever business she has need of you: for she has been a helper of many, and of myself also.

Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the innocent.
