And, as they did not approve the holding of God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not becoming;

who, indeed, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with those who practice them.

Now we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those practicing such things.

And do you reckon this, O man, who judge those who practice such things, and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?

to those who, by patience in well-doing, are seeking for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life;

but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there shall be wrath and indignation,

and have become confident that you are a guide of the blind, a light to those in darkness,

Now we know that whatsoever the law says, it speaks to those under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and that the whole world may be under the sentence of God;

"Happy are those whose iniquities were forgiven, and whose sins were covered.

and father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

For, if those who are of the law are heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been brought to nought;

but yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who sinned not after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of Him Who was to come.

For, if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall those who receive the abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

What fruit, therefore, had ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

Or, are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who know law), that the law has dominion over the man as long as he lives?

Consequently, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

For those who are according to the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

And we know that all things are working together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose;

and how shall they preach, unless they are sent forth? As it has been written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things!"

But Isaiah is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who sought Me not; I became manifest to those who sought not after Me."

Behold, then, God's kindness and severity; toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise, you also shall be cut off.

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and curse not.

Be ready to rejoice with those who rejoice; to weep with those who weep;

So that he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those having resisted shall receive to themselves condemnation;

for even Christ pleased not Himself; but, as it has been written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on Me."

but, as it has been written, "Those shall see, to whom nothing was announced concerning Him; and those who have not heard shall understand."

Salute Apelles, the approved in Christ. Salute those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

Salute Herodion my kinsman. Salute those of the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the teaching which ye learned; and turn away from them.

For those who are such are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and, through their kind words and flattering speeches, they beguile the hearts of the simple.
