¹ And working together `with him' we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain

¹⁵ looking carefully lest `there be' any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble `you', and thereby the many be defiled;

⁹ For we are God's fellow-workers: ye are God's husbandry, God's building.

¹⁰ according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

²⁵ See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned `them' on earth, much more `shall not' we `escape' who turn away from him that `warneth' from heaven:

¹¹ For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

¹¹ I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you in vain.

¹² I beseech you, brethren, become as I `am', for I also `am become' as ye `are'. Ye did me no wrong:

⁴ Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain.

²¹ I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.

¹ Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:

¹ Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;

² how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

¹⁸ But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;

¹⁹ to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

²⁰ We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech `you' on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, `which is' your spiritual service.

³ Long time therefore they tarried `there' speaking boldly in the Lord, who bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

⁸ How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes hath wrought falsely.
