For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast of God,

You that make your boast of the law, through breaking the law do you dishonor God?

For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given unto us.

Likewise the Spirit also helps our weakness: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought but the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?

What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared unto glory,

For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah? how he makes intercession to God against Israel, saying,

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

Who are you that judge another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls. Yea, he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.

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

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not worked by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

For it has pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints who are at Jerusalem.
