But the Roman Officer, anxious to save Paul, prevented their carrying out their intention, and ordered that those who could swim should be the first to jump into the sea and try to reach the shore;

So, too, there is a revelation from Heaven of the Divine Wrath against every form of ungodliness and wickedness on the part of those men who, by their wicked lives, are stifling the Truth.

Well aware of God's decree, that those who do such things deserve to die, not only are they guilty of them themselves, but they even applaud those who do them.

And we know that God's judgment falls unerringly upon those who do them.

You who judge those that do such things and yet are yourself guilty of them-do you suppose that you of all men will escape God's judgment?

To those who, by perseverance in doing good, aim at glory, honor, and all that is imperishable, he will give Immortal Life;

While as to those who are factious, and disobedient to Truth but obedient to Evil, wrath and anger, distress and despair,

It is not those who hear the words of a Law that are righteous before God, but it is those who obey it that will be pronounced righteous.

Perhaps you are confident that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in the dark, an instructor of the unintelligent,

Now we know that everything said in the Law is addressed to those who are under its authority, in order that every mouth may be closed, and the whole world become liable to the judgment of God.

Yes, of the Gentiles also, since there is only one God, and he will pronounce those who are circumcised righteous as the result of faith, and also those who are uncircumcised on their showing the same faith.

'Blessed are those whose wrong-doings have been forgiven and over whose sins a veil has been drawn!

As well as father of the circumcised-to those who are not only circumcised, but who also follow our father Abraham in that faith which he had while still uncircumcised.

If those who take their stand on Law are to inherit the world, then faith is robbed of its meaning and the promise comes to nothing!

That is why all is made to depend upon faith, that all may be God's gift, and in order that the fulfillment of the promise may be made certain for all Abraham's descendants-not only for those who take their stand on the Law, but also for those who take their stand on the faith of Abraham. (He is the Father of us all;

Yet, from Adam to Moses, Death reigned even over those whose sin was not a breach of a law, as Adam's was. And Adam foreshadows the One to come.

For if, by reason of the offence of the one man, Death reigned through that one man, far more will those, upon whom God's loving- kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find Life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.

Do not offer any part of your bodies to Sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have Life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.

But what were the fruits that you reaped from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of such things is Death.

There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in union with Christ Jesus;

But we do know that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love him-those who have received the Call in accordance with his purpose.

For those whom God chose from the first he also destined from the first to be transformed into likeness to his Son, so that his Son might be the eldest among many Brothers.

And those whom God destined for this he also called; and those whom he called he also pronounced righteous; and those whom he pronounced righteous he also brought to Glory.

This, indeed, is what he says in the Book of Hosea-'I will call those my People who were not my People, and her my beloved who was not beloved.

For Moses writes that, as for the righteousness which results from Law, 'those who practice it will find Life through it.'

And how are men to proclaim him unless they are sent as his messengers? As Scripture says--'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!'

And Isaiah says boldly--'I was found by those who were not seeking me; I made myself known to those who were not inquiring of me.

What follows from this? Why, that Israel as a nation failed to secure what it was seeking, while those whom God selected did secure it.

See, then, both the goodness and the severity of God--his severity towards those who fell, and his goodness towards you, provided that you continue to confide in that goodness; otherwise you, also, will be cut off.

Rejoice with those who are rejoicing, and weep with those who are weeping.

Therefore he who sets himself against the authorities is resisting God's appointment, and those who resist will bring a judgment upon themselves.

For they are God's servants appointed for your good. But, if you do what is wrong, you may well be afraid; for the sword they carry is not without meaning! They are God's servants to inflict his punishments on those who do wrong.

As for those whose faith is weak, always receive them as friends, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on their scruples.

We, the strong, ought to take on our own shoulders the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not merely to please ourselves.

Even the Christ did not please himself! On the contrary, as Scripture says of him--'The reproaches of those who were reproaching thee fell upon me.'

Pray that I may be rescued from those in Judea who reject the Faith, and that the help which I am taking to Jerusalem may prove acceptable to Christ's People;

To the Church of God in Corinth, to those who have been consecrated by union with Christ Jesus and called to become his People, and also to all, wherever they may be, who invoke the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ-their Master and ours,

The Message of the Cross is indeed mere folly to those who are in the path to Ruin, but to us who are in the path of Salvation it is the very power of God.

For since the world, in God's wisdom, did not by its philosophy learn to know God, God saw fit, by the 'folly' of our proclamation, to save those who believe in Christ!

But to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the Power of God and the Wisdom of God!

Yet there is a philosophy that we teach to those whose faith is matured, but it is not the philosophy of to-day, nor that of the leaders of to-day-men whose downfall is at hand.

It is what Scripture speaks of as-'What eye never saw, nor ear ever heard, what never entered the mind of man-even all that God has prepared for those who love him.'

Whatever is used by those who build upon this foundation, whether gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,

What have I to do with judging those outside the Church? Is it not for you to judge those who are within the Church,

While God judges those who are outside? 'Put away the wicked man from among you.'

My advice, then, to those who are not married, and to widows, is this: It would be well for them to remain as I am myself.

To those who are married my direction is-yet it is not mine, but the Master's-that a woman is not to leave her husband

still, if you should marry, that is not wrong; nor, if a young woman marries, is that wrong. But those who marry will have much trouble to bear, and my wish is to spare you.

What I mean, Brothers, is this-The time is short. Meanwhile, let those who have wives live as if they had none,

Those who are weeping as if not weeping, those who are rejoicing as if not rejoicing, those who buy as if not possessing,

And those who use the good things of the world as using them sparingly; for this world as we see it is passing away.

Do not you know that those who do the work of the Temple live on what comes from the Temple, and that those who serve at the altar share the offerings with the altar?

So, too, the Master has appointed that those who tell the Good News should get their living from the Good News.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews. To those who are subject to Law I became like a man subject to Law-though I was not myself subject to Law-to win those who are subject to Law.

To those who have no Law I became like a man who has no Law- -not that I am free from God's Law; no, for I am under Christ's Law-to win those who have no law.

Look at the people of Israel. Do not those who eat the sacrifices share with the altar?

No! Those parts of the body that seem naturally the weaker are indispensable;

And those parts which we deem less honorable we surround with special honor; and our ungraceful parts receive a special grace which our graceful parts do not require.

If, however, I do not happen to know the language, I shall be a foreigner to those who speak it, and they will be foreigners to me.

Therefore the gift of the 'tongues' is intended as a sign, not for those who believe in Christ, but for those who do not, while the gift of preaching is intended as a sign, not for those who do not believe in Christ, but for those who do.

While, if all those present use the gift of preaching, and an unbeliever, or a man without the gift, comes in, he is convinced of his sinfulness by them all, he is called to account by them all;

But, in truth, Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are at rest.

But each in his proper order-Christ the first-fruits; afterwards, at his Coming, those who belong to the Christ.

Those who are of the dust are like him who came from the dust; and those who are of Heaven are like him who came from Heaven.

Who consoles us in all our troubles, so that we may be able to console those who are in any trouble with the consolation that we ourselves receive from him.

So I wrote as I did, for fear that, if I had come, I should have been pained by those who ought to have made me glad; for I felt sure that it was true of you all that my joy was in every case yours also.

For we are the fragrance of Christ ascending to God--both among those who are in the path of Salvation and among those who are in the path to Ruin.

But their minds were slow to learn. Indeed, to this very day, at the public reading of the Old Covenant, the same veil remains unlifted; only for those who are in union with Christ does it pass away.

And, even if the Good News that we bring is veiled, it is veiled only in the case of those who are on the path to Ruin--

We are not "commending ourselves" again to you, but rather are giving you cause for pride in us, so that you may have an answer ready for those who pride themselves on appearances and not on character.

Do not enter into inconsistent relations with those who reject the Faith. For what partnership can there be between righteousness and lawlessness? or what has light to do with darkness?

What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial? or what can those who accept the Faith have in common with those who reject it?

We have not indeed the audacity to class or compare ourselves with some of those who indulge in self-commendation! But, when such persons measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they show a want of wisdom.

What I am doing now I shall continue to do, that I may cut away the ground from under those who are wishing for some ground for attacking me, so that as regards the thing of which they boast they may appear in their true characters, just as we do.

Do you assert that I took advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you?

I have said it, and I say it again before I come, just as if I were with you on my second visit, though for the moment absent, I say to those who have been long sinning, as well as to all others--that if I come again, I shall spare no one.

Or even going up to Jerusalem to see those who were Apostles before me, I went to Arabia, and came back again to Damascus.

It was in obedience to a revelation that I went; and I laid before the Apostles the Good News that I am proclaiming among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those who are thought highly of, for fear that I might possibly be taking, or might have already taken, a course which would prove useless.

Of those who are thought somewhat highly of--what they once were makes no difference to me; God does not recognize human distinctions--those, I say, who are thought highly of added nothing to my Message.

Before certain persons came from James, he had been in the habit of eating with the Gentile converts; but, when they came, he began to withdraw and hold aloof, for fear of offending those who still held to circumcision.

You see, then, that those whose lives are based on faith are the Sons of Abraham.

And, therefore, those whose lives are based on faith share the blessings bestowed upon the faith of Abraham.

But the Law is not based on faith; no, its words are--'Those who practice these precepts will find Life through them.'

But the words of Scripture represent the whole world as being in bondage to sin, so that the promised blessing, dependent, as it is, upon faith in Jesus Christ, may be given to those who have faith in him.

To ransom those who were subject to Law, so that we might take our position as sons.

Feelings of envy, drunkenness, revelry, and the like. And I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who indulge in such things will have no place in the Kingdom of God.

And those who belong to Jesus, the Christ, have already crucified their earthly nature, with its passions and its cravings.

Those who wish to appear to advantage in regard to outward observances are the very people who are trying to compel you to be circumcised; and they do it only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Jesus, the Christ.

Remember, therefore, that you were once Gentiles yourselves, as your bodies showed; you were called 'The Uncircumcised' by those who were called 'The Circumcised'--circumcised only by the hand of man!

He came with the Good News of peace for you who were 'far off,' and of peace for those who were 'near';

Never let any foul word pass your lips, but only such good words as the occasion demands, that they may be a help to those who hear them.

Do not let any one deceive you with specious arguments. Those are the sins that bring down the Wrath of God upon the disobedient.

They are all pursuing their own aims and not those of Christ Jesus.

Beware of those 'dogs'! Beware of those mischievous workers! Beware of the men who mutilate themselves!

Brothers, unite in following my example, and fix your eyes on those who are living by the pattern which we have set you.

All Christ's People here, and especially those who belong to the Emperor's household, send theirs.

Fix your thoughts upon the things that are above, not upon those that are on earth.

Wives, submit to your husbands, as befits those who belong to the Lord.

Children, always obey your parents; for that is pleasant to see in those who belong to the Lord.

Those who do wrong will reap the wrong they have done; and there will be no partiality.
