<t /><p class="bodytext">Now receive the one who is weak in the faith, and do not have disputes over differing opinions.<n id="1" />

therefore<n id="1" /> you who teach someone else, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?

for before the law was given,<n id="1" /> sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin<n id="2" /> when there is no law.

<p class="bodytext">Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires,

so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.p> <p class="bodytext">

<t /><p class="bodytext">What shall we say then? &#8211; that the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith,

And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, &#8220;<b><i>How timelyi>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>is the arrivali>b><n id="2" /> <b><i>of those who proclaim the good newsi>b>.&#8221;<n id="3" />

<p class="otpoetry"><b><i>let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>and make their backs bend continually.&#8221;i>b><n id="1" />p>

For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Granted!<n id="1" /> They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear!

And even they &#8211; if they do not continue in their unbelief &#8211; will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to arouse its desires.<n id="1" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Therefore we must not pass judgment on one another, but rather determine never to place an obstacle or a trap before a brother or sister.<n id="1" />

It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything that causes your brother to stumble.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves.<n id="1" />

And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person&#8217;s foundation,

<p class="bodytext">And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God,<n id="1" /> God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.<n id="2" />
