and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

You therefore who teach another, don't you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn't steal, do you steal?

You who say a man shouldn't commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, "That you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment."

We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."

For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die.

Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

But the free gift isn't like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

For I delight in God's law after the inward man,

What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

Therefore let's not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother's way, or an occasion for falling.

Don't overthrow God's work for food's sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.

But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him."

For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.

Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

So let a man think of us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

But those who are outside, God judges. "Put away the wicked man from among yourselves."

I say this to move you to shame. Isn't there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?

Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body," but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.

Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
