I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant… I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself alsoGreet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities… We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselvesLet every one of us please {his} neighbour for {his} good to edification. For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. [Read More]

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, {but} not… Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, {but} not to doubtful disputations{not…: or, not to judge his doubtful thoughts} For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. [Read More]

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For… Let every soul be subject unto the higher powersFor there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. {ordained: or, ordered} Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? [Read More]

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of… I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, {which is} your reasonable serviceAnd be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what {is} that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think {of himself} more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid…. I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbidFor I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, {of} the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, {of Elias: Gr. in Elias?} Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel… Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be savedFor I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ {is} the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. [Read More]

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience… I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heartFor I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: {accursed: or, separated} Who are Israelites; to whom {pertaineth} the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service {of God}, and the promises; {covenants: or, testaments} Whose {are} the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ {came}, who is over all, God blessed for ever.

{There is} therefore now no condemnation to them which… {There is} therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the SpiritFor the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin} That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know… Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to {her} husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of {her} husbandSo then if, while {her} husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
