they have all turned aside from the right way, they have become worthless together; there is none that doeth good, not even one.

So that the Law is holy, and the commandment holy, and right, and good.

Who is he that condemneth? Christ is he that died, yea rather, who rose again, who is also at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Hath not the potter a right out of the same lump of clay to make one vessel for an honorable use, and another for a dishonorable?

And if the first portion of the dough is holy, so also will be the lump; and if the root is holy, so will be the branches.

And if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou, a wild olive, hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker with them of the root and fatness of the olivetree,

boast not over the branches; for if thou boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee.

I Tertius, who wrote this letter, salute you in the Lord.
