But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you:

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathens; for they think they shall be heard for their much speaking.

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

Bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.

Then the neighbours and they who had seen him before, when he was blind, said, Is not this he who used to sit begging?

And when there was an assault both of the Gentiles and Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them, Being aware of it,

Which having taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they struck sail, and so were driven.

Amen. Therefore God gave them up to vile affections; for even their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature: And likewise also the men,

leaving the natural use of the women, burned in their lust toward each other, men with men working filthiness, and receiving in themselves the just recompence of their error.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues have they used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips.

Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou canst be made free, use it rather.

and they that buy, as if they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it; for the fashion of this world passeth away: Now I would have you without carefulness.

If others partake of this power over you, do not we rather? Yet we have not used this power: but we suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

But I have used none of these things; nor have I written thus, that it might be done so unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make this my glorying void.

Now when I was thus minded, did I use levity? or the things which I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that there should be with me yea and nay?

Having therefore this hope, we use great plainness of speech.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use severity, according to the power which the Lord hath given me, for edification, and not for destruction.

Brethren, ye have been called to liberty: only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness: God is witness:

We know, the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

For they that have used the office of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a good degree and much boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Drink water no longer, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thy frequent infirmities.

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, consecrated and fit for the master's use, prepared for every good work.

And let ours also learn to excell in good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

Partly being made a gazing-stock both by reproaches and afflictions; partly being partakers with them who were so used.

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
