How then is the Jew better off? or what profit is there in circumcision?

What then? Are we [Jews] any better off [than those Gentiles]? No, not at all, for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks [i.e., Gentiles] alike are under [the power of] sin,

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

it is better to abstain from flesh, and wine, and every thing whereby your brother is in danger of falling off.

For we know well that all things work for the best unto them that love God, which also are called of purpose.

Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

For every man's life and every man's death has a relation to others as well as to himself.

For such people are not servants of the Lord Christ, but of their stomachs; and by their smooth and well-said words the hearts of those who have no knowledge of evil are tricked.

For Macedonia and Achaia have been well-pleased to make a certain fellowship for the destitute of the saints who are in Jerusalem, -

They have been well-pleased, indeed, - and, their debtors, they are; for, if, with their spiritual things the nations have come into fellowship, they are bound also with their own carnal things to minister publicly unto them.

Although they know full well God’s just sentence—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do them, but even applaud others who practice them.

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

now I would not have you ignorant, my brethren, that I often purposed to come to you, tho' I have been hindered hitherto, that I might be useful among you as well as among other Gentiles.

I find then a settled custom, that evil is objected in my way whenever I have a mind to act well:

The spirit likewise softens our afflictions: for being at a loss to apply for the most proper relief; the spirit it self affects us with those pious ejaculations, which we can't well express.

your christianity is very well known in the world. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you as expert in that which is good, as unpractis'd in what is evil.
