14  Ko te tangata he ngoikore te whakapono, manakohia, kauaka ia ki nga tautohe whakaaro.

Ko tetahi hoki e whakapono ana he pai nga mea katoa hei kai mana: ko te tangata ia he ngoikore tona whakapono e kai otaota ana.

Kaua te tangata e kai ana e whakahawea ki te tangata kahore e kai, kaua hoki te tangata kahore e kai e whakahe i te tangata e kai ana: kua manakohia hoki ia e te Atua.

Ko wai koe e whakahe na i te pononga a tera? ma tona rangatira ia e whakatu, e whakahinga ranei. Ina, ka whakaturia ano ia: e taea hoki ia e te Atua te whakatu.

Ki te whakaaro a tetahi, nui atu tetahi ra i tetahi: ki a tetahi whakaaro ia he rite katoa nga ra. Kia u marire nga whakaaro o tetahi, o tetahi.

Ko te tangata e whakaaro ana ki te ra, he whakaaro ki te Ariki tona whakaaro; ko te tangata e kai ana, he whakaaro ki te Ariki tana kai, e whakawhetai atu ana hoki ia ki te Atua; ko te tangata kahore e kai, he whakaaro ki te Ariki tana kore e kai, e whakawhetai ana ano ia ki te Atua.

Ehara hoki i te mea ki a ia ake ano te ora o tetahi o tatou, ehara hoki i te mea ki a ia ake te mate o tetahi.

Ta te mea, ahakoa ora, e ora ana tatou ki te Ariki; ahakoa mate, e mate ana tatou ki te Ariki: na, ahakoa ora tatou, mate ranei, na te Ariki tatou.

Ko te mea hoki tenei i mate ai a te Karaiti, i ara ake ai ano, i ora ai ano, kia waiho ai ia hei Ariki ngatahi mo te hunga mate, mo te hunga ora.

10 Ko koe na, he aha koe i whakahe ai i tou teina? me koe na hoki, he aha koe i whakahawea ai ki tou teina? e tu katoa hoki tatou ki te nohoanga whakawa o te Atua.

11 Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, e piko katoa nga turi ki ahau, e whakaae ano hoki nga arero katoa ki te Atua.

12 Ae ra, ka korerotia e tenei, e tenei o tatou te tikanga o ana mahi ki te Atua.

13 Na, kati ta tatou whakahe tetahi i tetahi: engari ko tenei kia rite i a koutou, kia kaua e whakatakotoria he tutukitanga waewae, he take whakahinga ranei mo tona teina.

14 E mohio ana ahau, u tonu toku whakaaro i roto i te Ariki, i a Ihu, kahore he mea nona ake ano tona noa: haunga ia ki te mea tetahi he noa tetahi mea, e noa ano ki a ia.

15 Ki te mea hoki na te kai i pouri ai tou teina, kahore e mau ana tau haere i runga i te aroha. kei mate i tau kai te tangata i mate nei a te Karaiti mona.

16 Na, kei korerotia kinotia to koutou pai:

17 Ehara hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua i te kai, i te inu; engari he tika, he rangimarie, he hari i roto i te Wairua Tapu.

18 Ko te tangata hoki ko enei hei mahinga mana ki a te Karaiti, ka ahuarekatia ia e te Atua, ka paingia hoki e nga tangata.

19 Na, kia whai tatou i nga mea e mau ai te rongo, i nga mea ano hoki e hanga ai te pai o tetahi, o tetahi.

20 Kaua e waiho te kai hei whakahoro mo ta te Atua mahi. He ma hoki nga mea katoa; otiia he kino ki te tangata e kai ana me te whakahe tona ngakau.

21 He mea pai tonu kia kaua e kai kikokiko, kia kaua e inu waina, aha ranei e tutuki ai tou teina.

22 Ko te whakapono i a koe na, waiho i a koe ano i te aroaro o te Atua. Ka hari te tangata kahore e whakatau i te he ki a ia ano mo te mea i whakapaia e ia mana.

23 Ki te ruarua ia tetahi, ka tau te he ki a ia ki te kai ia: no te mea ehara i te kai whakapono: he hara hoki nga mea katoa kihai nei i puta ake i te whakapono.

15  Ko te mahi tika ma tatou, ma te hunga kaha, he pikau i nga ngoikoretanga o te hunga kahakore; kaua hoki e whai i ta tatou ake i ahuareka ia.

Me whai tena, tena o tatou kia ahuareka mai tona hoa, tona hoa mo te mea e pai ana hei hanga i tona whakapono.

Kihai hoki a te Karaiti i whai ki tana ake i ahuareka ai; engari i rite ki te mea kua oti te tuhituhi, Ko nga tawainga a te hunga e tawai ana i a koe kua tau ki ahau.

Ko nga mea katoa hoki i tuhituhia i mua he mea tuhituhi hei whakaako i a tatou, kia whai tumanakohanga ai tatou, i te mea ka whakamanawanui, ka whakamarietia hoki e nga karaipiture.

Heoi ma te Atua o te manawanui, o te whakamarie, e hoatu ki a koutou kia kotahi te whakaaro o tetahi ki tetahi, kia rite ki ta Karaiti Ihu:

Kia kotahi ai te whakaaro, kia kotahi ai te mangai, e whakakororia ai koutou i te Atua, ara i te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

Na, me whakahoa koutou tetahi ki tetahi, kia rite ki a te Karaiti i mea nei i a tatou hei hoa mona, kia whai kororia ai te Atua.

Ko taku kupu hoki tenei, i meinga a te Karaiti hei minita ki te kotinga, he whakaaro ki te pono o te Atua, kia u ai nga mea i whakaaria ki nga matua:

Kia whakakororia ai hoki nga Tauiwi i te Atua mo tana mahi tohu, kia pera ai me te mea i tuhituhia, Mo konei ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe i waenganui o nga tauiwi, ka himene ki tou ingoa.

10 Tenei ano tetahi kupu ana, Kia hari tahi, e nga Tauiwi, me tana iwi.

11 Tenei ano hoki, Whakamoemititia te Ariki, e nga Tauiwi katoa; whakamoemititia ano ia, e nga iwi katoa.

12 E mea ana hoki a Ihaia, Tera e whai pakiaka a Hehe, me tetahi e whakatika ake ana hei rangatira mo nga Tauiwi; ko ia hei tumanakohanga ma nga Tauiwi.

13 Na, ma te Atua, nana nei te tumanako, e whakaki koutou ki te hari katoa, ki te rangimarie, i runga i te whakapono, kia hua ai to koutou tumanako, i runga i te kaha o te Wairua Tapu.

14 Na e u ana toku ake whakaaro ki a koutou, e oku teina, e ki ana koutou i te pai, whawhao rawa ki te matauranga katoa, a e taea ano e koutou te tohutohu tetahi i tetahi.

15 Otiia i nui ake ai toku maia ki te tuhituhi penei ki a koutou, e oku teina, he whakamahara ano i a koutou, he mea na te aroha noa kua homai nei ki ahau e te Atua.

16 I meinga ai ahau hei minita ma Ihu Karaiti ki nga tauiwi, hei minita i te rongopai o te Atua, kia manakohia ai te whakahere o nga tauiwi, he mea whakatapu na te Wairua Tapu.

17 Na, kua whai whakamanamanatanga nei ahau i roto i a Karaiti Ihu i nga mea a te Atua.

18 E kore hoki ahau e maia ki te korero ki etahi mea, ko nga mea anake kua mahia e te Karaiti na roto i ahau, hei mea kia ngohengohe mai nga Tauiwi, ara na taku kupu, na taku mahi,

19 I runga i te kaha o nga tohu, o nga mea whakamiharo, i runga i te kaha o te Wairua Tapu; no ka whakapaua e ahau te kauwhau i te rongopai o te Karaiti atu i Hiruharama, a taka noa ki Iririkuma rawa;

20 Ae ra, ko ia tenei taku tohe ki te kauwhau i te rongopai, ehara i te mea ki nga wahi kua whakahuatia nei a te Karaiti ki reira, kei hanga whare ahau ki runga ki a tetahi atu turanga:

21 Engari kia rite ki te mea i tuhituhia, E kite te hunga kihai nei i korerotia ia ki a ratou, a e matau te hunga kihai i rongo.

22 Na konei ano i maha ai oku whakawarenga, te tae atu ai ahau ki a koutou.

23 Otiia inaianei, kua kore nei he wahi moku i enei whenua, a, i te mea he maha nga tau i wawata ai ahau kia tae atu ki a koutou,

24 Ina tupono taku haere ki Hipania; e tumanako ana hoki ahau kia kite i a koutou i taua haerenga oku, a kia kawea peratia atu ahau e koutou, ina ano ia kia matua rite tetahi wahi o toku ngakau i te kitenga i a koutou;

25 Inaianei ia, e mea ana ahau, e haere ana tenei ahau ki Hiruharama, ki te mahi mea ma te hunga tapu.

26 Kua pai hoki a Makeronia raua ko Akaia kia meinga tetahi kohikohi ma nga mea rawakore o te hunga tapu i Hiruharama.

27 Ae ra, i pai ano ratou ki te pera, a e tika ana ano kia hoatu ki a ratou. I te mea kua uru nei nga Tauiwi ki a ratou mea o te wairua, waihoki he tika ano kia mahia e enei etahi mea o te kikokiko ma ratou.

28 Na, kia oti tenei i ahau, a hiri rawa tenei hua hei mea ma ratou, ka tika atu ahau ma koutou na ki Hipania.

29 A e matau ana ahau, ka haere atu ahau ki a koutou, tera ahau e haere atu i runga i te hua noa iho o te manaakitanga o e rongopai o te Karaiti.

30 Na he tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, he whakaaro ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti, na te aroha hoki o te Wairua, kia tohe tahi koutou me ahau i a koutou inoi ki te Atua moku;

31 Kia whakaorangia ahau i te hunga whakateka i Huria; kia manakohia ano e te hunga tapu taku minitatanga mo Hiruharama;

32 Kia haere hari atu ai ahau ki a koutou, ki te pai te Atua, kia whakata tahi ai me koutou.

33 Na, kia noho te Atua o te rangimarie ki a koutou katoa. Amine.

16  Tena to matou tuahine, a Pipi, te tukua atu na e ahau ki a koutou, he kaimahi ia na te hahi i Kenekerea:

Hei manuhiri ia ma koutou i roto i te Ariki, kia rite ki ta te hunga tapu tikanga, a kia awhina koutou i a ia ki nga mea e matea e ia: he tokomaha hoki ana i atawhai ai, ahau ano hoki.

Oha atu ki a Pirihira raua ko Akuira, ki oku hoa mahi i roto i a Karaiti Ihu,

Na raua nei hoki o raua na kaki i taku kia ora ai ahau: ehara i te mea ko ahau anake e whakawhetai ana ki a raua, engari ko nga hahi katoa hoki o nga tauiwi:

Oha atu ano ki te hahi i to raua whare. Oha atu ki a Epainetu, ki taku i aroha ai, ko ia hoki ta te Karaiti matamua o Ahia.

Oha atu ki a Meri, he nui tana mahi ki a matou.

Oha atu ki a Anaroniku raua ko Hunia, oku whanaunga, oku hoa herehere ano hoki, he ingoa nunui nei o raua i roto i nga apotoro, no mua nei i ahau to raua urunga ki a te Karaiti.

Oha atu ki a Amapiria, ki taku i aroha ai i roto i te Ariki.

Oha atu ki a Urupane, ki to matou hoa mahi i roto i a te Karaiti, ki a Takuha ano hoki, ki taku i aroha ai.

10 Oha atu ki a Apere, e paingia ana i roto i a te Karaiti. Oha atu ki a Aritopuru ma.

11 Oha atu ki a Heroriona, ki toku whanaunga. Oha atu ki a Nakihu ma, ki nga mea i roto i te Ariki.

12 Oha atu ki a Taraipine raua ko Taraipoha, e mahi nei i roto i te Ariki. Oha atu ki a Perahi, e arohaina nei, he nui nei tana mahi i roto i te Ariki.

13 Oha atu ki a Rupuha, i whiriwhiria i roto i te Ariki, ki tona whaea, ara ki to maua tahi.

14 Oha atu ki a Ahunikiritu, ratou ko Perekona, ko Herama, ko Pataropa, ko Herami, ki nga teina ano e noho ana i a ratou.

15 Oha atu ki a Piroroku raua ko huria, ki a Nireu raua ko tona tuahine, ki a Orimapa ratou ko te hunga tapu katoa e noho ana i a ratou.

16 Oha atu tetahi ki tetahi, hei te kihi tapu ano. Tenei te oha atu nei nga hahi katoa a te Karaiti ki a koutou.

17 Na he tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, tirohia iho te hunga e mahi ana i nga wehewehenga, i nga tutukitanga waewae, he mea puta ke i te whakaakoranga i whakaakona ai koutou: tahuri atu i a ratou.

18 Ko te hunga pera hoki kahore i te mahi ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti, engari ki to ratou ake kopu: e tinihanga ana hoki ratou i nga ngakau o te hunga kinokore ki a ratou korero maeneene, ki a ratou kupu whakapaipai.

19 Kua paku hoki ki nga tangata katoa te rongo o to koutou ngohengohe. Koia ahau ka hari nei ki a koutou: e mea ana hoki ahau kia whai whakaaro koutou ki te pai, kia kuware ki te mea kino.

20 Na tera te Atua o te rangimarie e hohoro te kuru i a Hatana ki raro i o koutou waewae. Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

21 Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koutou a Timoti, toku hoa mahi a Ruhiu, a Hahona, a Hohipate, oku whanaunga.

22 Ko ahau tenei, ko Teretiu, ko te kaituhituhi o tenei pukapuka, te oha atu nei ki a koutou i roto i te Ariki.

23 Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koutou a Kaiu te kaiatawhai oku, o te hahi katoa. Tenei te oha atu nei a Eratu, kaitiaki o nga mea o te pa, raua ko te teina, ko Kuaratu.

24 Kia tau ki a koutou katoa te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti. Amine.

25 Na he kaha nei te Atua ki te whakau i a koutou, i runga i nga ritenga o taku rongopai, o te kauwhautanga hoki o Ihu Karaiti, o te whakakitenga mai ano o te mea ngaro, kihai nei i rangona no te timatanga ra ano o te ao,

26 A kua whakamaramatia mai inaianei e nga karaipiture a nga poropiti, he mea whakarite mai na te Atua ora tonu, a whakapuakina mai ana ki nga tauiwi katoa kia ngohengohe ai ratou ki ta te whakapono:

27 Waiho atu i te Atua, ko ia nei anake te Mea matau, te kororia i roto i a Ihu Karaiti, ake ake, Amine.

The Weak and the Strong

14 Accept the one whose faith is weak,(A) without quarreling over disputable matters. One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.(B) The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt(C) the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge(D) the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else’s servant?(E) To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

One person considers one day more sacred than another;(F) another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God;(G) and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives for ourselves alone,(H) and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.(I) For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life(J) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.(K)

10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt?(L) For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.(M) 11 It is written:

“‘As surely as I live,’(N) says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
    every tongue will acknowledge God.’”[b](O)

12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.(P)

13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment(Q) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.(R) 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself.(S) But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.(T) 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love.(U) Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.(V) 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.(W) 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking,(X) but of righteousness, peace(Y) and joy in the Holy Spirit,(Z) 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.(AA)

19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace(AB) and to mutual edification.(AC) 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food.(AD) All food is clean,(AE) but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.(AF) 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.(AG)

22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn(AH) himself by what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts(AI) is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.[c]

15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak(AJ) and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good,(AK) to build them up.(AL) For even Christ did not please himself(AM) but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[d](AN) For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,(AO) so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind(AP) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify(AQ) the God and Father(AR) of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accept one another,(AS) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[e](AT) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(AU) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles(AV) might glorify God(AW) for his mercy. As it is written:

“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
    I will sing the praises of your name.”[f](AX)

10 Again, it says,

“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”[g](AY)

11 And again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
    let all the peoples extol him.”[h](AZ)

12 And again, Isaiah says,

“The Root of Jesse(BA) will spring up,
    one who will arise to rule over the nations;
    in him the Gentiles will hope.”[i](BB)

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(BC) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(BD)

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

14 I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,(BE) filled with knowledge(BF) and competent to instruct one another. 15 Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me(BG) 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles.(BH) He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God,(BI) so that the Gentiles might become an offering(BJ) acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

17 Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus(BK) in my service to God.(BL) 18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles(BM) to obey God(BN) by what I have said and done— 19 by the power of signs and wonders,(BO) through the power of the Spirit of God.(BP) So from Jerusalem(BQ) all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.(BR) 20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel(BS) where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.(BT) 21 Rather, as it is written:

“Those who were not told about him will see,
    and those who have not heard will understand.”[j](BU)

22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.(BV)

Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome

23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,(BW) 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain.(BX) I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist(BY) me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem(BZ) in the service(CA) of the Lord’s people(CB) there. 26 For Macedonia(CC) and Achaia(CD) were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.(CE) 27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.(CF) 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain(CG) and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you,(CH) I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.

30 I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit,(CI) to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.(CJ) 31 Pray that I may be kept safe(CK) from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution(CL) I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people(CM) there, 32 so that I may come to you(CN) with joy, by God’s will,(CO) and in your company be refreshed.(CP) 33 The God of peace(CQ) be with you all. Amen.

Personal Greetings

16 I commend(CR) to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon[k][l] of the church in Cenchreae.(CS) I ask you to receive her in the Lord(CT) in a way worthy of his people(CU) and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.

Greet Priscilla[m] and Aquila,(CV) my co-workers(CW) in Christ Jesus.(CX) They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Greet also the church that meets at their house.(CY)

Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert(CZ) to Christ in the province of Asia.(DA)

Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews(DB) who have been in prison with me.(DC) They are outstanding among[n] the apostles, and they were in Christ(DD) before I was.

Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord.

Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ,(DE) and my dear friend Stachys.

10 Greet Apelles, whose fidelity to Christ has stood the test.(DF)

Greet those who belong to the household(DG) of Aristobulus.

11 Greet Herodion, my fellow Jew.(DH)

Greet those in the household(DI) of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those women who work hard in the Lord.

Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked very hard in the Lord.

13 Greet Rufus,(DJ) chosen(DK) in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.

14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the other brothers and sisters with them.

15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the Lord’s people(DL) who are with them.(DM)

16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.(DN)

All the churches of Christ send greetings.

17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned.(DO) Keep away from them.(DP) 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ,(DQ) but their own appetites.(DR) By smooth talk and flattery they deceive(DS) the minds of naive people. 19 Everyone has heard(DT) about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.(DU)

20 The God of peace(DV) will soon crush(DW) Satan(DX) under your feet.

The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.(DY)

21 Timothy,(DZ) my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius,(EA) Jason(EB) and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.(EC)

22 I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.

23 Gaius,(ED) whose hospitality I and the whole church here enjoy, sends you his greetings.

Erastus,(EE) who is the city’s director of public works, and our brother Quartus send you their greetings. [24] [o]

25 Now to him who is able(EF) to establish you in accordance with my gospel,(EG) the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery(EH) hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings(EI) by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from[p] faith(EJ) 27 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.(EK)
