yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

like Sodom, we would have resembled
Gomorrah.”

like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a
spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.
Let the husband render unto the wife due
benevolence: and
likewise also the wife unto the husband.

fulfill his
marital duty to his wife, and
likewise the wife to her husband.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s
freeman:

Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

like a
Jew, to
win the Jews. To those under the law I became
like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to
win those under the law.

To those without the law I became
like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to
win those without the law.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away
childish things.
When I was a child, I talked
like a child, I thought
like a child, I reasoned
like a child. When I became a man, I set aside
childish ways.
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.

sincerity, as men sent from God.

commend ourselves again? Or do we need,
like some people, letters of
recommendation to you or from you?

gazing at the end of what was
fading away.

boast of you to them of
Macedonia, that
Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath
provoked very many.

fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths
oft.

But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a
Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to
Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a
Jew, live
like a
Gentile and not
like a
Jew, how can you
compel the Gentiles to live
like Jews?”

like me, for I became
like you. You have done me no wrong.

like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God.
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
All of us also lived among them at one time,
fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and
indulging its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true
holiness.

accord, of one mind.

rejoice with you all.
But even if I am being poured out
like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am
glad and
rejoice with all of you.
For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
I have
nobody else
like him who will genuinely care for your needs.
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all
gladness; and hold such in reputation:
Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men
like him,
Who shall change our
vile body, that it may be fashioned
like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to
subdue all things unto himself.

transform our lowly bodies to be
like His glorious body.

Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,
not in
lustful passion
like the Gentiles who do not know God;
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are
asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
