I would that ye should know, brethren, how that I have oftentimes purposed to come unto you, but have been let hitherto, to have some fruit among you, as I have among other of the gentiles.

And as it seemed not good unto them to be a known of God, even so God delivered them up unto a lewd mind, that they should do those things which were not comely,

And believest that thou thyself art a guide unto the blind, a light to them which are in darkness,

God forbid. Let God be true, and all men liars, as it is written, "That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings and shouldest overcome when thou art judged."

And say not rather - as men evil-speak of us, and as some affirm that we say - "Let us do evil, that good may come thereof." Whose damnation is just.

Let not sin reign therefore in your mortal bodies, that ye should thereunto obey in the lusts of it.

Let not sin have power over you. For ye are not under the law, but under grace.

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 to take them withal, and an occasion to fall, and a reward unto them.

Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and ever bow down their backs."

Seeing that we have divers gifts according to the grace that is given unto us: if any man have the gift of prophecy, let him have it that it be agreeing unto the faith;

Let him that hath an office, wait on his office;

Let him that teacheth take heed to his doctrine; Let him that exhorteth give attendance to his exhortation; If any man give, let him do it with singleness; Let him that ruleth do it with diligence; If any man show mercy let him do it with cheerfulness.

Let love be without dissimulation. Hate that which is evil, and cleave unto that which is good.

Let not that business which ye have in hand be tedious to you. Be fervent in the spirit. Apply yourselves to the time.

Let every soul submit himself unto the authority of the higher powers. For there is no power, but of God. The powers that be, are ordained of God.

The night is past and the day is come nigh. Let us therefore cast away the deeds of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Let us walk honestly as it were in the daylight: not in eating and drinking: neither in chambering and wantonness: neither 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.

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 us follow those things which make for peace: and things wherewith one may edify another.

Let every man please his neighbor unto his wealth and edifying.

And let the gentiles praise God for his mercy. As it is written, "For this cause I will praise thee among the gentiles, and sing in thy name."

And again, "Praise the Lord all ye gentiles, and laud him all nations."

For this cause I have been oft let to come unto you:

which have for my life laid down their own necks. Unto which not I only give thanks: but also the congregations of the gentiles.
