According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon [it]. But each one must direct his attention to how he is building upon [it].

Therefore if God gave them the same gift as also to us [when we] believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I [to be] able to hinder God?"

And just as they did not see fit {to recognize God}, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do the things [that are] not proper,

And then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, [for] forty years.

Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to immorality, [that] their bodies would be dishonored among themselves,

Because of this, God gave them over to degrading passions, for their females exchanged the natural relations for those contrary to nature,

just as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear, until this very day."

But God gives to it a body just as he wishes, and to each one of the seeds its own body.

Jesus answered and said to her, "If you had known the gift of God and who it is who says to you, 'Give me [water] to drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
