For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness hath to some extent come upon Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles shall have come in.

that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus to the gentiles, performing the office of a priest in respect to the gospel of God, that the oblation of the gentiles may be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human tribunal; nay, I do not even judge myself;

In like manner also did the Lord ordain that they who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

But I have used no right of this kind; nor have I written thus that anything of this kind should be done for me; for it were better for me to die, than that any one should take from me what I glory in.

but I beat down my body, and bring it into subjection, lest perhaps, when I have been a herald to others, I should myself be rejected as unworthy.

But if we judged ourselves, we should not be judged;

that there might be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.

Having, then, this purpose, did I act with levity? Or in my purposes do I resolve according to the flesh, that with me there should be now yea, yea, and now nay, nay?

But I determined this with myself, that my next visit to you should not be in sorrow.

For out of much distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that ye should be made sorrowful, but that ye might know the exceeding love which I have for you.

since we are careful of this, that no one should blame us in our management of this abundant liberality;

But I sent the brethren, that our boasting of you should not prove unfounded in this respect; that, as I said, ye may be prepared;

lest, should the Macedonians come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be put to shame in respect to this confidence.

For even if I should boast still more highly of our authority, which the Lord gave us for building you up, and not pulling you down, I should not be put to shame;

but I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from singleheartedness toward Christ.

For if I should desire to boast, I should not be a fool; for I should say the truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think of me above what he seeth me to be, or what he heareth from me.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel to you contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed!

For do I now seek the favor of men, or of God? Or am I endeavoring to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

and when they knew the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcised;

according as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him;

that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who have before placed our hope in the Messiah;

not of works, lest any one should boast.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

that as to your former way of life ye should put off the old man, who perisheth according to the lusts of deceit,

that he himself might present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.

But if to live in the flesh, if this is to me the fruit of my labor, then what I should choose, I cannot say;

that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth,

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.

For indeed he was sick near to death; but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

for God was pleased that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself,

so that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for yourselves know that to this we are appointed;

For this cause, when I too could no longer forbear, I sent in order to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor should prove in vain.

For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication;

that every one of you should know how to procure for himself his own vessel in purity and honor,

that no one should go beyond and overreach his brother in the matter; because the Lord is the avenger in respect to all these things, as we also told you before and solemnly testified.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief;

who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should together live with him.

Not because we have not authority, but to make ourselves an example to you, that ye should imitate us.

But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me especially Christ Jesus might show forth all his longsuffering, as an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting.

whose will is that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.

but if I should tarry long, that thou mayst know how thou oughtest to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;

Let us then fear, since a promise is still left us of entering into his rest, lest any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining it.

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation he had the testimony that he pleased God.

and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which voice they who heard, entreated that no more should be spoken to them;

Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

For to this ye were called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps;

who himself bore our sins in his own body on the cross, that we, having died to our sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

and turning into ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, condemned them to overthrow, making them an example for those who in after time should live ungodly;

The Lord is not tardy concerning his promise, as some men count tardiness; but is longsuffering toward you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God l For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and should love one another, as he gave commandment.

and it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads;

and it was given to them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it hath struck a man.

And the rest of men, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can neither see; nor hear, nor walk;

and swore by him who liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven, and the things therein, and the earth and the things therein, and the sea, and the things therein, that there should be no longer delay;
