And according as they did not think good to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;

Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

What then shall we say? That they of the nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but the righteousness that is on the principle of faith.

For the Christ also did not please himself; but according as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.
