For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:

And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.

It is true that circumcision is of use if you keep the law, but if you go against the law it is as if you had it not.

For if they who are of the law are the people who get the heritage, then faith is made of no use, and the word of God has no power;

For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,

And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;
