What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

For he that is not against us is on our part.

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
