For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
