For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

Now if their fall, is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.

For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me.

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Salute Prisca and Aquila my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus,

Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.

Salute Urbanus our fellow-worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

Timothy my fellow-worker saluteth you; and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
