And art confident, that thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness, An instructer of the ignorant,

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

Therefore let not sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in the desires thereof.

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

And David saith, Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompence to 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 us, whether it be prophesy, let us prophesy according to the analogy of faith:

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministring; or he that teacheth, on teaching; or he that exhorteth, on exhortation.

He that imparteth, let him do it with simplicity; he that presideth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with chearfulness.

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

Let every soul be subject to the supreme powers, for there is no power but from God; the powers that be, are appointed by God.

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

Let us walk decently, as in the day; not in banqueting and drunken entertainments, not in uncleannesses and wantonness, not in strife and envy.

Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him that 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 therefore no longer judge one another; but judge this rather, not to lay a stumbling block, or a scandal before a brother.

Therefore let not your good be evil spoken of.

Let us therefore pursue the things that tend to peace, and to mutual edification.

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 for my life, have laid down their own necks; to whom not I alone owe my thanks, but likewise all the churches of the Gentiles.
