Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark.

Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;

Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,

Whose mouth is full of curses and bitter words:

And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

That I am full of sorrow and pain without end.

As it is said, See, I am putting in Zion a stone causing a fall, and a rock in the way: but he who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy.

Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?

Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

And I myself am certain of you, brothers, that you are full of what is good, complete in all knowledge, able to give direction to one another.

And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ.
