they have failed in the Truth by arguing that the resurrection has taken place already, and they are undermining some people's faith.

In any great house there are indeed vessels not only of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for noble, some for menial service.

Jesus Christ is always the same, yesterday, to-day, and for ever.

Suppose some brother or sister is ill-clad and short of daily food;

blessing and cursing stream from the same lips! My brothers, this ought not to be.

Does a fountain pour out fresh water and brackish from the same hole?

In the same way, you wives must be submissive to your husbands, so that even those who will not believe the Word may be won over without a word by the behaviour of their wives,
