But God's anger is revealed from heaven against all the impiety and wickedness of those who hinder the Truth by their wickedness.

though they know God's decree that people who practise such vice deserve death, they not only do it themselves but applaud those who practise it.

'We know the doom of God falls justly upon those who practise such vices.'

Very well; and do you imagine you will escape God's doom, O man, you who judge those who practise such vices and do the same yourself?

eternal life to those who by patiently doing good aim at glory, honour, and immortality,

but anger and wrath to those who are wilful, who disobey the Truth and obey wickedness ??9 anguish and calamity for every human soul that perpetrates evil, for the Jew first and for the Greek as well,

For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just in the eyes of God, it is those who obey the Law who will be acquitted,

And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised and who fulfil the Law, judge you who are a breaker of the Law for all your written code and circumcision?)

Whatever the Law says, we know, it says to those who are inside the Law, that every mouth may be shut and all the world made answerable to God;

as well as a father of those circumcised persons who not only share circumcision but walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had as an uncircumcised man.

That is why all turns upon faith; it is to make the promise a matter of favour, to make it secure for all the offspring, not simply for those who are adherents of the Law but also for those who share the faith of Abraham ??of Abraham who is the father of us all

Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned even over those whose sins were not like Adam's transgression. Adam prefigured Him who was to come,

For if the trespass of one man allowed death to reign through that one man, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and free gift of righteousness reign in life through One, through Jesus Christ.

Thus there is no doom now for those who are in Christ Jesus;

For those who follow the flesh have their interests in the flesh, and those who follow the Spirit have their interests in the Spirit.

Those who are in the flesh cannot satisfy God.

For the sons of God are those who are guided by the Spirit of God.

We know also that those who love God, those who have been called in terms of his purpose, have his aid and interest in everything.

For he decreed of old that those whom he predestined should share the likeness of his Son ??that he might be the firstborn of a great brotherhood.

Then he calls those whom he has thus decreed; then he justifies those whom he has called; then he glorifies those whom he has justified.

As indeed he says in Hosea, Those who were no people of mine, I will call 'my People,' and her 'beloved' who was not beloved;

And then Isaiah dares to say, I have been found by those who never sought me, I have shown myself to those who never inquired of me.

Consider both the kindness and the severity of God; those who fall come under his severity, but you come under the divine kindness, provided you adhere to that kindness. Otherwise, you will be cut away too.

Bless those who make a practice of persecuting you; bless them instead of cursing them.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

Christ certainly did not please himself, but, as it is written, The reproaches of those who denounced Thee have fallen upon me. ??4 All such words were written of old for our instruction, that by remaining stedfast and drawing encouragement from the scriptures we may cherish hope.

Salute that tried Christian, Apelles. Salute those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

Brothers, I beg of you to keep your eye on those who stir up dissensions and put hindrances in your way, contrary to the doctrine which you have been taught. Avoid them.
