- For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.
- For just as we have many parts in one body and all the body’s parts do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another.
- Love must be free of hypocrisy. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.
- Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor.
- Not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.
- Rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer.
- Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
- Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
- Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
- If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people.
- Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
- Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
- Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.
- For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing.
- Pay to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
- Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law.
- For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
- Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.
- But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.
- Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not to have quarrels over opinions.
- The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.
- Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
- One person values one day over another, another values every day the same. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.
- For if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
- For it is written:
“As I live, says the Lord, to Me every knee will bow,
And every tongue will give praise to God.”
