But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

And the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees, used to fast: and they come, and say to him, Why do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them who despitefully use you.

But there was a certain man called Simon, who before in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews, with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

Many also of them who used curious arts, brought their books together, and burned them before all men; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven.

For this cause God gave them up to vile affections. For even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Art thou called being a servant? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

And they that use this world, as not abusing it. For the fashion of this world passeth away.

If others are partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

When I therefore was thus minded, did I use levity? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea, yea, and nay, nay?

Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

For before that certain came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles: but when they had come, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.

For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

For they that have used the office of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thy frequent infirmities.

If a man therefore will cleanse himself from these, he will be a vessel to honor, sanctified and meet for the master's use, and prepared to every good work.

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

But strong food belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Partly, while ye were made a gazing-stock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while ye became companions of them that were so used.

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
