For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you.

so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another.

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

Love must be ¹  without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good.

So the person who resists such authority ¹  resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment

For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, ¹  with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants – not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, ²  who is the father of us all
