And -- praying -- ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard,

and when there was a purpose both of the nations and of the Jews with their rulers to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,

Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature;

and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.

A sepulchre opened is their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps is under their lips.

a servant -- wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free -- use it rather;

if others do partake of the authority over you -- not we more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the Christ.

And I have used none of these things; neither did I write these things that it may be so done in my case, for it is good for me rather to die, than that any one may make my glorying void;

This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech,

and we have known that the law is good, if any one may use it lawfully;

and let them learn -- ours also -- to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.
