¹⁵ But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, ^(A)because of the grace given me by God

Gifts of Grace

³ For ^(A)by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you ^(B)not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, ^(C)each according to ^(D)the measure of faith that God has assigned.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, ^(A)I worked harder than any of them, ^(B)though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.

That You May Know

¹³ I write ^(A)these things to you who ^(B)believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.

¹⁵ And count ^(A)the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as ^(B)our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you ^(C)according to the wisdom given him,

^10 (A)As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, ^(B)as good stewards of God's varied grace: ¹¹ whoever speaks, as one who speaks ^(C)oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves ^(D)by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything ^(E)God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. ^(F)To him belong glory and ^(G)dominion forever and ever. Amen.

^6 (A)Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if ^(B)prophecy, ^(C)in proportion to our faith;

⁵ through whom ^(A)we have received grace and ^(B)apostleship ^(C)to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name ^(D)among all the nations,

Judgment on False Teachers

³ Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our ^(A)common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you ^(B)to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. ⁴ For ^(C)certain people ^(D)have crept in unnoticed ^(E)who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert ^(F)the grace of our God into sensuality and ^(G)deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁵ Now I want ^(H)to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that ^(I)Jesus, who saved^[a] a people out of the land of Egypt, ^(J)afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
