Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men:

For I bear them record, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

Whereas with regard to Israel he saith, All the day have I stretched forth my hands to an unbelieving and gainsaying people.

With regard to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but as for the election, they are beloved, for the sake of their fathers.

He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord; for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore on your behalf; but I would have you wise with regard to that which is good, and simple with regard to that which is evil.

I speak with regard to reproach, as though we had been weak: whereas in whatever any is confident, (I speak as a fool) I am confident also.

This also is of God. For to you it is given, with regard to Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him:

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were of old described before with regard to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
