No, indeed; let us hold God to be true, though every man should prove to be false. As it stands written, "That Thou mayest be shown to be just in the sentence Thou pronouncest, and gain Thy cause when Thou contendest."

And why should we not say--for so they wickedly misrepresent us, and so some charge us with arguing--"Let us do evil that good may come"? The condemnation of those who would so argue is just.

Standing then acquitted as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;

And David says, "Let their very food become a snare and a trap to them, a stumbling-block and a retribution.

Let darkness come over their eyes that they may be unable to see, and make Thou their backs continually to stoop."

But since we have special gifts which differ in accordance with the diversified work graciously entrusted to us, if it is prophecy, let the prophet speak in exact proportion to his faith;

if it is the gift of administration, let the administrator exercise a sound judgement in his duties.

Let your love be perfectly sincere. Regard with horror what is evil; cling to what is right.

Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you. Do not be wise in your own conceits.

Let every individual be obedient to those who rule over him; for no one is a ruler except by God's permission, and our present rulers have had their rank and power assigned to them by Him.

Living as we do in broad daylight, let us conduct ourselves becomingly, not indulging in revelry and drunkenness, nor in lust and debauchery, nor in quarrelling and jealousy.

Let not him who eats certain food look down upon him who abstains from it, nor him who abstains from it find fault with him who eats it; for God has received both of them.

One man esteems one day more highly than another; another esteems all days alike. Let every one be thoroughly convinced in his own mind.

Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement--that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.

Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach.

Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character.

Let each of us endeavour to please his fellow Christian, aiming at a blessing calculated to build him up.

And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and let all the people extol Him."
