I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:

But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ.

And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.

For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

See, I Paul say to you, that if you undergo circumcision, Christ will be of no use to you.

Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,

Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,

See the size of the handwriting which I myself have made use of in writing to you.

Making good use of the time, because the days are evil.

And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position.

(Rules which are all to come to an end with their use) after the orders and teaching of men?

These things seem to have a sort of wisdom in self-ordered worship and making little of oneself, and being cruel to the body, not honouring it by giving it its natural use.

Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

Be wise in your behaviour to those who are outside, making good use of the time.

For it is common knowledge among you that we never made use of smooth-sounding false words, and God is witness that at no time were we secretly desiring profit for ourselves,

For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,

We are conscious that the law is good, if a man makes a right use of it,

Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.

Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

If a man makes himself clean from these, he will be a vessel for honour, made holy, ready for the master's use, ready for every good work.

Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and take him with you; for he is of use to me in the work.

But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

But if it sends up thorns and evil plants, it is of no use and is ready to be cursed; its only end is to be burned.

When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.

What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation?

Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use?

You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

Though the angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not make use of violent language against them before the Lord.

But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others;

Having eyes full of evil desire, never having enough of sin; turning feeble souls out of the true way; they are children of cursing, whose hearts are well used to bitter envy;

For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;

Now when Michael, one of the chief angels, was fighting against the Evil One for the body of Moses, fearing to make use of violent words against him, he only said, May the Lord be your judge.

And they had no regret for putting men to death, or for their use of secret arts, or for the evil desires of the flesh, or for taking the property of others.

And he makes use of all the authority of the first beast before his eyes. And he makes the earth and those who are in it give worship to the first beast, whose death-wound was made well.

But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and takers of life, those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death.

Outside are the dogs, and those who make use of evil powers, those who make themselves unclean, and the takers of life, and those who give worship to images, and everyone whose delight is in what is false.
