Now as a fair exchange – I speak as to my children – open wide your hearts to us also.

And what agreement does Christ have with Beliar? Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever?

because he not only accepted our request, but since he was very eager, he is coming to you of his own accord.

It is necessary to go on boasting. Though it is not profitable, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.

And I hope that you will realize that we have not failed the test!

But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother.

I assure you that, before God, I am not lying about what I am writing to you!

But I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.

And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to the promise.

So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son, then you are also an heir through God.

But you know it was because of a physical illness that I first proclaimed the gospel to you,

However, it is good to be sought eagerly for a good purpose at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.

However, if you continually bite and devour one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.

But I say, live by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,

Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it.

But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.

for you were at one time darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light –

Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
