And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

but the grace of our Lord hath exceedingly abounded with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.

And, Adam, was not deceived, whereas, the woman, having been wholly deceived, hath come to be, in transgression;

(and if any one his own house how to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)
