And become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding yourselves. Because, if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror; for he observed himself, and went away, and straightway he forgot what manner of man he was. read more.

If anyone thinks that he is religious, while he bridles not his own tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain. A religion, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Speak not one against another, brethren.

This, therefore, I say, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their hearts; who, indeed, having become without feeling, delivered themselves up to lasciviousness for the working of all uncleanness with greediness.

Be not, therefore, anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink!' or 'What shall we put on?' For after all these things the nations are seeking; for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

And, while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him, observing that the city was full of idols. So, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the market-place every day with those who met him.

And Paul, having taken his stand in the midst of Mars Hill, said, "Men of Athens, in all respects I observe that ye are more than usually regardful of the deities; for, passing through, and considering your objects of worship, I found also an altar on which had been inscribed, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. What, therefore, in ignorance ye worship, this I declare to you.

nor is ministered to by human hands, as if needing anything; Himself giving to all life, and breath, and all things; and He made of one every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having marked out their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek God, if, perhaps, they might feel after Him, and find Him, although, in truth, He is not far from each one of us;

For God's wrath is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; because that which is known of God is manifested in them; for God manifested it to them. For His invisible things, since the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being perceived by the things that are made, even His everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: read more.
because, having known God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor did they give thanks; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and quadrupeds, and reptiles. Wherefore, God gave them up in the desires of their hearts unto the uncleanness of dishonoring their bodies among themselves; who, indeed, change the truth of God into falsehood; and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause, God gave them up to vile passions; for both their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature; and, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, burned in their desires one for another; men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error, which was due. And, as they did not approve the holding of God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not becoming; having become filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventers of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful; who, indeed, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with those who practice them.

Wherefore, you are without excuse, O man, every one who judges; for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. Now we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those practicing such things. And do you reckon this, O man, who judge those who practice such things, and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? read more.
Or, do you despise the riches of His kindness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God is leading you to repentance? but, after your hardness and impenitent heart, you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, Who will render to every man according to his works; to those who, by patience in well-doing, are seeking for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life; but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there shall be wrath and indignation, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that works evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek; but glory and honor and peace to every one who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek: for there is no respect of persons with God; for as many as sinned without law shall also perish without law; and as many as sinned under law shall be judged by law; for not the hearers of law are righteous before God, but the doers shall be justified; (for, when gentiles who have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves; who, indeed, show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with it, and between one another their thoughts accusing or even excusing them;)
