but the death did reign from Adam till Moses, even upon those not having sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him who is coming.

And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw --

but till to-day, when Moses is read, a vail upon their heart doth lie,

And working together also we call upon you that ye receive not in vain the grace of God --

Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!

and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you because of the exceeding grace of God upon you;

And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,
