For circumcision is indeed a benefit to thee, if thou keep the Law; but if thou art a breaker of the Law, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

What then is the advantage of the Jew? or what the benefit of circumcision?

And in this confidence it was my purpose to come to you before, that ye might receive a second benefit;

Let no foul language proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is good for edification, as the need may be, that it may benefit the hearers;

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they who receive the benefit are faithful and beloved. These things teach and exhort.

but I chose to do nothing without thy consent, that thy benefit may be not as from necessity, but willingly.
