Which having taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing lest they might fall through into the quicksand, having loosened the vessel, so were they borne away.

Therefore God delivered them to the suffering of ignominy: for also their females changed the natural use into that against generation:

Likewise also males, leaving the natural use of the female, were set on fire in their longing for one another; males with males working deformity, and the retribution which was needed receiving in themselves for their erring.

Their throat an opened tomb; with their tongues have they used deceit; the poison of asps under their lips:

A servant wert thou called? let it not concern thee: for if thou art able to be free, rather make use of it.

If others participate with your power, not rather we? But we used not this power; but endure all things, lest we give some hindrance to the good news of Christ.

But I used none of these things: and I wrote not these things, that thus it might be with me: for good to me rather to die, than that any should render my boasting void.

What reward therefore is to me? That announcing good news, I shall make the good news of Christ not expensive, not to make use of my power in the good news.

Therefore I resolved this, much less did I use levity: or what I resolve, do I resolve according to the flesh, that there be with me yea, yea, and nay, nay

Therefore having such hope, we use much freedom of speech:

And we know the law good, if any use it lawfully;

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach and thy frequent weaknesses.

And let ours also learn to excel in good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
