Keep on giving to everyone who asks you for something, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not insist on getting it back.

Jesus told them, "If you were blind, you would not have any sin. But now that you insist, "We see,' your sin still exists."

When she and her family were baptized, she urged us, "If you are convinced that I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my home." And she continued to insist that we do so.

But when I saw that they were not acting consistently with the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone, "Though you are a Jew, you have been living like a gentile and not like a Jew. So how can you insist that the gentiles must live like Jews?"

Again, I insist that everyone who allows himself to be circumcised is obligated to obey the entire Law.

Therefore, I tell you and insist on in the Lord not to live any longer like the gentiles live, thinking worthless thoughts.

These are the things you must insist on and teach.

This saying is trustworthy. I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have put their faith in God may devote themselves to good actions. These things are good and helpful to other people.
