11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, 1 so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel 2 until the full number 3 of the Gentiles has come in.
12:1 Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters, 4 by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice – alive, holy, and pleasing to God 5 – which is your reasonable service.
15:30 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, 6 through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join fervently with me in prayer to God on my behalf.
