So you must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

you must not let sin have your members for the service of vice, you must dedicate yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, dedicating your members to God for the service of righteousness.

Sin must have no hold over you, for you live under grace, not under law.

What follows, then? That 'the Law is equivalent to sin'? Never! Why, had it not been for the Law, I would never have known what sin meant! Thus I would never have known what it is to covet, unless the Law had said, You must not covet.

(You see, faith must come from what is heard, and what is heard comes from word of Christ.)

In virtue of my office, I tell everyone of your number who is self-important, that he is not to think more of himself than he ought to think; he must take a sane view of himself, corresponding to the degree of faith which God has assigned to each.

if it is practical service, let us mind our service; the teacher must mind his teaching,

the speaker his words of counsel; the contributor must be liberal, the superintendent must be in earnest, the sick visitor must be cheerful.

Every subject must obey the government-authorities, for no authority exists apart from God; the existing authorities have been constituted by God.

You must be obedient, therefore, not only to avoid the divine vengeance but as a matter of conscience,

You must not commit adultery, you must not kill, you must not steal, you must not covet ??these and any other command are summed up in a single word, You must love your neighbour as yourself.

The eater must not look down upon the non-eater, and the non-eater must not criticize the eater, for God has welcomed him.

Then again, this man rates one day above another, while that man rates all days alike. Well, everyone must be convinced in his own mind;

Your rights must not get a bad name.

Peace, then, and the building up of each other, these are what we must aim at.

You must not break down God's work for the mere sake of food! Everything may be clean, but it is wrong for a man to prove a stumbling-block by what he eats;

Each of us must please his neighbour, doing him good by building up his faith.
