For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers,

It is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all those who are descended from Israel are truly Israel,

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

Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but (as if it were possible) by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,

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

For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters, that there are quarrels among you.

Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share the one bread.

If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.

I was glad about the arrival of Stephanus, Fortunatus, and Achaicus because they have supplied the fellowship with you that I lacked.

He delivered us from so great a risk of death, and he will deliver us. We have set our hope on him that he will deliver us yet again,

But as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
