May it never be! But let God be true but every human being a liar, just as it is written, "In order that you may be justified in your words, and may prevail when you are judged."

And [why] not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, in order that good may come [of it]? Their condemnation is just!

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that [you] obey its desires,

And David says, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, and a cause for stumbling and a retribution to them;

let their eyes be darkened so that they do not see, and cause their backs to bend {continually}."

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for [there] is no authority except by God, and those that exist are put in place by God.

The night is far gone, and the day has drawn near. Therefore let us throw off the deeds of darkness and put on the weapons of light.

Let us live decently, as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy.

Therefore, let us no longer pass judgment on one another, but rather decide this: not to place a cause for stumbling or a temptation before a brother.

Therefore do not let your good be slandered.

So then, let us pursue {what promotes peace} and {what edifies one another}.

Let each one of us please his neighbor for his good, for the purpose of edification.

And again, "Praise the Lord, all the Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him."
