Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
