in God’s sight. As it is written: I have made you the father of many nations. He believed in God, who gives life to the dead and calls things into existence that do not exist.

This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

So then, if she gives herself to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she gives herself to another man, she is not an adulteress.

Or who has ever first given to Him,
and has to be repaid?

For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.

According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts:

If prophecy,
use it according to the standard of one’s faith;

But

If your enemy is hungry, feed him.
If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
For in so doing
you will be heaping fiery coals on his head.

Whoever observes the day, observes it for the honor of the Lord. Whoever eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; and whoever does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat it, yet he thanks God.

For it is written:

As I live, says the Lord,
every knee will bow to Me,
and every tongue will give praise to God.

So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Nevertheless, I have written to remind you more boldly on some points because of the grace given me by God

Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, my coworkers in Christ Jesus,
