So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow-workers.

Remember me to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workers in the work of Christ Jesus,

for we belong to God as His fellow-workers; you belong to God as His field to be tilled, as His building to be built.

And God has placed people in the church, first as apostles, second as prophets, third as teachers, then wonder-workers; then people with power to cure the sick, helpers, managers, ecstatic speakers.

Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all are wonder-workers, are they?

Not that we are trying to lord it over your faith, but we are workers with you to promote your joy, for in your faith you are standing firm.

And I solemnly beg you, my true comrade, keep on cooperating with those two women, because they shared with me the struggle in spreading the good news, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

So does Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only converts from Judaism that are fellow-workers with me here for the kingdom of God, who have proved a real comfort to me.

No one must say, when he is tempted to do evil, "I have a temptation from God to do evil," for God cannot be tempted to do evil, and He never tempts anyone to do so.

Take care that none of you ever pays back evil for evil, but always keep looking for ways to show kindness to one another and everybody.

For a time will come when they will not listen to wholesome teaching, but to gratify their own evil desires will surround themselves with teachers who teach to gratify their own evil desires, because their ears are itching so to be tickled,

But anyone is tempted to do evil when he is allured by his own evil desire and enticed by a bait.

never returning evil for evil or abuse for abuse, but blessing instead, because it was for this that you were called, to obtain the blessing of heirs.

Let the person who is doing evil do evil still; let the filthy person be filthy still; let the upright person still do right; let the consecrated person still be consecrated.

But some wandering Jews who claimed to be driving out the evil spirits tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus on those who had evil spirits in them, saying, "I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches!"

What are we then to conclude? Is the law sin? Of course not! Yet, if it had not been for the law, I should not have learned what sin was, for I should not have known what an evil desire was, if the law had not said, "You must not have an evil desire."

Stop returning evil for evil to anyone. Always see to it that your affairs are right in the sight of everybody.

Stop being conquered by evil, but keep on conquering evil with good.

not out of evil passions as the heathen do who do not know God;

Continue to abstain from every sort of evil.

But the Lord is to be trusted, and He will give you strength and guard you from the evil one.

For the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil, and some men in reaching after riches have wandered from the faith and pierced their hearts with many a pang.
