Preaching the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ without fear, and no orders were given that he was not to do so.

Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings,

Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name:

For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:

Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,

Much in every way: first of all because the words of God were given to them.

But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,

Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given.

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision to give effect to the undertakings given by God to the fathers,

But I have, in some measure, less fear in writing to you to put these things before you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God,

By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;

But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge.

So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.

Now, it is my desire, brothers, that you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away from them.

I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;

God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?

But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy:

But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

Only, as the Lord has given to a man, and as is the purpose of God for him, so let him go on living. And these are my orders for all the churches.

Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him.

You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

Now he who makes our faith strong together with you, in Christ, and has given us of his grace, is God;

But if you give forgiveness to anyone, I do the same: for if I have given forgiveness for anything, I have done it because of you, in the person of Christ;

For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace;

That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace.

(For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):

And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;

As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever.

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;

Praise be to God for what he has given, which words have no power to say.

We will not give glory to ourselves in over-great measure, but after the measure of the rule which God has given us, a measure which comes even to you.

And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.

And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.

For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.

As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.

Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ.

What then is the law? It was an addition made because of sin, till the coming of the seed to whom the undertaking had been given; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a go-between.

However, the holy Writings have put all things under sin, so that that for which God gave the undertaking, based on faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who have such faith.

For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.

That he might make them free who were under the law, and that we might be given the place of sons.

Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.

For it is in the Writings, You who have never given birth, be glad; give cries of joy, you who have had no birth-pains; for the children of her who has been given up by her husband are more than those of the woman who has a husband.

But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.
