“Their throats are open graves, they deceive with their tongues, the poison of asps is under their lips.”

For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared to the glory that will be revealed to us.

What shall we say then? – that the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith,

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how fathomless his ways!

For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever! Amen.

For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function,

But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves.

And again, “Praise the Lord all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.”

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse.

Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.

And do you think, whoever you are, when you judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment?

on the day when God will judge the secrets of human hearts, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.

For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?

“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars; I alone am left and they are seeking my life!”

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.

and thus the Gentiles glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to your name.”

For they were pleased to do this, and indeed they are indebted to the Jerusalem saints. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things.

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them!
