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.

Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

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:

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
