But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

I say what is true in Christ, and not what is false, my mind giving witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

Who are Israelites: who have the place of sons, and the glory, and the agreements with God, and the giving of the law, and the worship, and the hope offered by God:

Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses.

For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders?

What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.

But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.

For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge.

What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

And so it is said, The first man Adam was a living soul. The last Adam is a life-giving spirit.

See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.

For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

Now about the giving of money for the saints, as I gave orders to the churches of Galatia, so do you.

For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:

But we all, with unveiled face giving back as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord who is the Spirit.

We are not again requesting your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in us, so that you may be able to give an answer to those whose glory is in seeming, and not in the heart.

Giving no cause for trouble in anything, so that no one may be able to say anything against our work;

As full of sorrow, but ever glad; as poor, but giving wealth to others; as having nothing, but still having all things.

I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.

And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:

And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:

But there is no need for me to say anything in my letter about the giving to the saints:

Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;

For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;

Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:

Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

You were going on well; who was the cause of your not giving ear to what is true?

Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

But to every one of us has grace been given in the measure of the giving of Christ.

Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

And let there be no low behaviour, or foolish talk, or words said in sport, which are not right, but in place of them the giving of praise.

Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

Because of your help in giving the good news from the first day till now;
