But all things are of God, Who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having put in us the word of reconciliation.

Ye look at things according to appearance. If anyone has trusted to himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that, as he is Christ's, so also are we.

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

and no wonder, for even Satan transforms himself into an angel of light!

For ye bear with it, if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes you captive, if one exalts himself, if one smites you on the face.
