being filled with all injustice, lewdness, wickedness, covetousness, malignity; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and every evil habit; whisperers,

whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Say I then, Have they stumbled, that they should fall irrecoverably? God forbid! but this I say, that by their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles to excite them to emulation.

Now if their fall be the riches of the world, and their diminution be the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will their fulness be?

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: towards them that fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness; if thou continue in his goodness: for else thou also shalt be cut off.

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 through the power of the holy Spirit.

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

Salute Priscilla and Aquila my fellow-laborers in Christ Jesus:

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

Salute Amplias my beloved in the Lord. Salute Urbanus, our fellow-laborer in Christ,

Timothy my fellow-laborer, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
