Contribute to the needs of the saints, pursue hospitality.

But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed ¹  from the heart that pattern ²  of teaching you were entrusted to,

For they were pleased to do this, and indeed they are indebted to the Jerusalem saints. ¹  For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things.

¹ Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that had been kept secret for long ages,

But now there is nothing more to keep me ¹  in these regions, and I have for many years desired ²  to come to you

For by the grace given to me I say to every one of you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but to think with sober discernment, as God has distributed to each of you ¹  a measure of faith. ² 

because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.

But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you, because of the grace given to me by God

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

Therefore God gave them over ¹  in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor ²  their bodies among themselves. ³ 

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

because what can be known about God is plain to them, ¹  because God has made it plain to them.

How are they to call on one they have not believed in? And how are they to believe in one they have not heard of? And how are they to hear without someone preaching to them ¹ ?

For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared ¹  to the glory that will be revealed to us.

For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised ¹  on behalf of God’s truth to confirm the promises made to the fathers, ² 

For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God.

So then, ¹  God ²  has mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy, and he hardens whom he chooses to harden. ³ 

Just as you were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience,

For God has consigned all people to disobedience so that he may show mercy to them all. ¹ 

Therefore, each of us will give an account of himself to God. ¹
