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

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Will you not fear the power? Do good, and you shall have praise from it;

for [the power] is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister of justice for punishment to him that does evil.

Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only on account of punishment, but also on account of conscience.

For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not desire inordinately, and if there is any other commandment, it is summarily comprehended in this word; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

The night is far advanced, and the day is at hand; let us lay aside therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelries and drinking, not in lewdness and excesses, not in strife and envy;

RECEIVE the weak in faith, not to doubtful reasonings.

Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats; for God has accepted him.

He that observes the day observes it to the Lord, and he that observes not the day observes it not to the Lord. And he that eats eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not eats not to the Lord, and gives God thanks.

Let us not therefore judge one another, but judge this rather, not to place a stumbling-block or an offense before a brother.

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

Let not your good therefore be injuriously spoken of.

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;

On account of food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure, but evil is to the man that eats with offense;

it is good not to eat meat nor drink wine, nor [do] any thing by which your brother stumbles.

You have faith; have it for yourself before God, Blessed is he that condemns not himself in what he approves;

but he that doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and every thing which is not of faith is sin.

And we, the strong, ought to bear the infirmities of those who are not strong, and not to please ourselves.

for Christ also pleased not himself, but, as it is written, The reproaches of those that reproached thee fell on me.

for I dare not to speak of what Christ has not performed by me for the obedience of the nations, by word and work,

And I have been anxious so to preach where Christ was not named, that I might not build on another's foundation;

but as it is written, They shall see to whom nothing was told concerning him, and they who have not heard shall understand.

that I may be delivered from those that obey not in Judea, and that my service which is for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

that you receive her in the Lord worthily of the saints, and assist her in any thing in which she may have need of you; for she has been an assistant of many, and of myself also.

who exposed their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks but all the churches of the nations;

for such serve not our anointed Lord, but themselves, And by kind and complimentary words deceive the minds of the simple.

And to him that is able to confirm you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery not revealed in ancient times,
