And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
