if a service [let us labor] in the service, if one teaches, in teaching,

who are Israelites, whose are the adoption and the glory, and the covenants and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises,

I EXHORT you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice; holy, well pleasing to God, your reasonable service;

Having therefore performed this, and sealed to them this service, I will go by you to Spain;

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,
