Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
