45:013:013 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and
drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife
and envying.
45:013:014 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision
for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
45:014:001 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful
disputations.
45:014:002 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is
weak, eateth herbs.
45:014:003 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let
not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath
received him.
45:014:004 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own
master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for
God is able to make him stand.
45:014:005 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth
every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own
mind.
45:014:006 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he
that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.
He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks;
and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth
God thanks.
45:014:007 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
45:014:008 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we
die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die,
we are the Lord's.
45:014:009 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that
he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
45:014:010 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at
nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment
seat of Christ.
45:014:011 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall
bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
45:014:012 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
45:014:013 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge
this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion
to fall in his brother's way.
45:014:014 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is
nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing
to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
45:014:015 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou
not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ
died.
45:014:016 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
45:014:017 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
45:014:018 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to
God, and approved of men.
45:014:019 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace,
and things wherewith one may edify another.
45:014:020 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are
pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
45:014:021 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any
thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is
made weak.
45:014:022 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he
that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
45:014:023 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth
not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
45:015:001 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the
weak, and not to please ourselves.
45:015:002 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to
edification.
45:015:003 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,
The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
45:015:004 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for
our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the
scriptures might have hope.
45:015:005 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be
likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
45:015:006 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
45:015:007 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us
to the glory of God.
45:015:008 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision
for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the
fathers:
45:015:009 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it
is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the
Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
45:015:010 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
45:015:011 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all
ye people.
45:015:012 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and
he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall
the Gentiles trust.
45:015:013 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of
the Holy Ghost.
45:015:014 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye
also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able
also to admonish one another.
45:015:015 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto
you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace
that is given to me of God,
45:015:016 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,
ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the
Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy
Ghost.
45:015:017 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in
those things which pertain to God.
45:015:018 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which
Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient,
by word and deed,
45:015:019 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit
of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto
Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
45:015:020 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ
was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
45:015:021 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall
see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
45:015:022 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to
you.
45:015:023 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a
great desire these many years to come unto you;
45:015:024 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you:
for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my
way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with
your company.
45:015:025 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
45:015:026 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a
certain contribution for the poor saints which are at
Jerusalem.
45:015:027 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For
if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual
things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal
things.
45:015:028 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them
this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
45:015:029 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the
fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
45:015:030 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake,
and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with
me in your prayers to God for me;
45:015:031 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in
Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be
accepted of the saints;
45:015:032 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may
with you be refreshed.
45:015:033 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
45:016:001 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the
church which is at Cenchrea:
45:016:002 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that
ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for
she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
45:016:003 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
45:016:004 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not
only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
45:016:005 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my
well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto
Christ.
45:016:006 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
45:016:007 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my
fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also
were in Christ before me.
45:016:008 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
45:016:009 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
45:016:010 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of
Aristobulus' household.
45:016:011 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the
household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
45:016:012 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute
the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.
45:016:013 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
45:016:014 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the
brethren which are with them.
45:016:015 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and
Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
45:016:016 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ
salute you.
45:016:017 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions
and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned;
and avoid them.
45:016:018 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but
their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive
the hearts of the simple.
45:016:019 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad
therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto
that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
45:016:020 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet
shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
45:016:021 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater,
my kinsmen, salute you.
45:016:022 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
45:016:023 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you.
Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus
a brother.
45:016:024 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
45:016:025 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my
gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the
revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the
world began,
45:016:026 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the
prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
45:016:027 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever.
Amen.
