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

By no means: verily let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.

And not rather (as we are 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 of it.

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 stumbling-block, and a recompense to them:

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

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 showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

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

Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God: the powers that are, are ordained by 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 armor 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 who 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 stumbling-block, 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 with which one may edify another.

Let every one of us please his neighbor 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: to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
