Now if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on law, and boast about God,

On the contrary, friend, who are you anyway that you would answer back to God? Can the clay that is molded ask the man who molds it, "Why did you make me like this?"

For I have been informed about you, my brothers, by Chloe's people, that there are wranglings among you.

So I myself, brothers, could not deal with you as spiritual persons, but as creatures of human clay, as merely baby Christians.

This is why I have sent Timothy to you. He is a dear child of mine and trustworthy in the Lord's work; he will call to your minds my methods in the work of Christ Jesus, just as I teach them everywhere in every church.

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, who is the source of all things and the goal of our living, and but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom everything was made and through whom we live.

Again, indeed, if the bugle does not sound a call distinct and clear, who will prepare for battle?

But upon my soul I call God to witness that it was to spare you pain that I gave up my visit to Corinth.

For if I did go crazy, it was for God's glory; and if I am keeping my head cool, it is for your good.

So remember that you were once heathen in a physical sense, called the uncircumcised by those who call themselves the circumcised -- though only in a physical sense, by human hands.

So I, a prisoner for the Lord's sake, entreat you to live lives worthy of the call you have received,

There is but one body and one Spirit, just as there is but one hope resulting from the call you have received;

I am pressing onward toward the goal, to win the prize to which God through Jesus Christ is calling us upward.

For God did not call us to a life of immorality, but to one of personal purity.

For the Lord Himself, at the summons sounded by the archangel's call and by God's trumpet, will come down from heaven, and first of all the dead in union with Christ will rise,

that is, if he understands that law is not enacted for upright people but for the lawless and disorderly, the godless and sinful, the ignorant and profane, people who kill their fathers or mothers, murderers,

For He saved us and called us with a holy call, not in accordance with anything that we had done, but in accordance with His own purpose and unmerited favor which was shown us through union with Christ Jesus eternal ages ago,

You must keep on fleeing from the evil impulses of youth, but ever strive for uprightness, faith, love, and peace, in association with those who call upon the Lord with pure hearts.

But you, on your part, must always keep your head cool, suffer hardship, do your work as a herald of the good news, and so fill your ministry to the brim.

For it was appropriate for Him, who is the Final Goal and the First Cause of the universe, in bringing many children to glory, to make the Leader in their salvation perfect through the process of sufferings.

See how we call those who thus endured happy! You have heard how patiently Job endured and have seen how the Lord finally blessed him, because the Lord is tenderhearted and merciful.

Is anyone sick among you? He should call in the elders of the church, and they should pray over him, and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord,

because you will receive the goal of your faith, the ultimate salvation of your souls.

Therefore, brothers, be all the more in earnest to make certain to yourselves God's call and choice of you. For if you cultivate these qualities, you will never slip,

Yes, I will be in earnest, so that every time you have occasion, after I have gone away, you may call these things to mind.
