Consider, then, the kindness and severity of God: his severity toward those who fell, but God's kindness toward you if you continue receiving his kindness. Otherwise, you too will be cut off.

Or are you unaware of his rich kindness, forbearance, and patience, that it is God's kindness that is leading you to repent?

All have turned away. They have become completely worthless. No one shows kindness, not even one person!

But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people!
