But the things God foretold<n id="1" /> long ago through<n id="2" /> all the prophets &#8211; that his Christ<n id="3" /> would suffer &#8211; he has fulfilled in this way.

Then Paul<n id="1" /> went back upstairs,<n id="2" /> and after he had broken bread and eaten, he talked with them<n id="3" /> a long time, until dawn. Then he left.

Therefore keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God<n id="1" /> that it will be just as I have been told.

There<n id="1" /> we found<n id="2" /> some brothers<n id="3" /> and were invited to stay with them seven days. And in this way we came to Rome.<n id="4" />

So you too consider yourselves<n id="1" /> dead to sin, but<n id="2" /> alive to God in Christ Jesus.p>

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

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,

If someone&#8217;s work is burned up, he will suffer loss.<n id="1" /> He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.p>

Because of the impending crisis I think it best for you to remain as you are.

If you sin against your brothers or sisters<n id="1" /> in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

In the same way the Lord commanded those who proclaim the gospel to receive their living by the gospel.

A person should examine himself first,<n id="1" /> and in this way<n id="2" /> let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.

It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit,<n id="1" /> seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.p>

Thus<n id="1" /> we urged<n id="2" /> Titus that, just as he had previously begun this work,<n id="3" /> so also he should complete this act of kindness<n id="4" /> for you.

<t /><p class="bodytext">I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one<n id="1" /> who called you by the grace of Christ<n id="2" /> and are following<n id="3" /> a different<n id="4" /> gospel &#8211;

So also we, when we were minors,<n id="1" /> were enslaved under the basic forces<n id="2" /> of the world.

But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

<p class="bodytext">Be imitators of me,<n id="1" /> brothers and sisters,<n id="2" /> and watch carefully those who are living this way, just as you have us as an example.

<t /><p class="bodytext">So then, my brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> dear friends whom I long to see, my joy and crown, stand in the Lord in this way, my dear friends!p>

I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is how I write in every letter.<n id="1" />
