<p class="bodytext">In regard to the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but in regard to election they are dearly loved for the sake of the fathers.

For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.

For God has consigned all people to disobedience so that he may show mercy to them all.<n id="1" />p>

If it is service, he must serve; if it is teaching, he must teach;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Love must be<n id="1" /> without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good.

Do not lag in zeal, be enthusiastic in spirit, serve the Lord.

Rejoice in hope, endure in suffering, persist in prayer.

Contribute to the needs of the saints, pursue hospitality.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.p>

Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.p>

<p class="bodytext">So I boast<n id="1" /> in Christ Jesus about the things that pertain to God.

Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

<p class="bodytext">Therefore God gave them over<n id="1" /> in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor<n id="2" /> their bodies among themselves.<n id="3" />

And do you think,<n id="1" /> whoever you are, when you judge<n id="2" /> those who practice such things and yet do them yourself,<n id="3" /> that you will escape God&#8217;s judgment?

God publicly displayed<n id="1" /> him<n id="2" /> at his death<n id="3" /> as the mercy seat<n id="4" /> accessible through faith.<n id="5" /> This was to demonstrate<n id="6" /> his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.<n id="7" />

<p class="bodytext">Is this blessedness<n id="1" /> then for<n id="2" /> the circumcision<n id="3" /> or also for<n id="4" /> the uncircumcision? For we say, &#8220;<i>faith <b>was credited tob> Abraham <b>as righteousnessb>i>.&#8221;<n id="5" />

And he is also the father of the circumcised,<n id="1" /> who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham possessed when he was still uncircumcised.<n id="2" />p>

He<n id="1" /> did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.

through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice<n id="1" /> in the hope of God&#8217;s glory.

And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God<n id="1" /> has been poured out<n id="2" /> in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.p>
