And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given us the ministry of the reconciliation,

to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their offenses, and has given to us the word of reconciliation.

You see things according to appearances. If any one trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider again with himself that as he is Christ's so also are we.

for not he that commends himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

And no wonder; for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

for you endure it if any one reduces you to servitude, if any one devours you, if any one takes from you, if any one exalts himself against you, if any one beats you in the face.
