Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

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.
