¹⁸ What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

⁵⁰ But Jesus said unto him, Forbid `him' not: for he that is not against you is for you.

¹¹ Whether then `it be' I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

³⁸ John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us.

³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

⁴⁰ For he that is not against us is for us.

⁹ Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son.

¹⁰ If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into `your' house, and give him no greeting:

¹¹ for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.

¹⁴ and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

¹⁶ the one `do it' of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;

¹⁷ but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds.

¹⁵ What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

¹⁹ What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

⁹ What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁰ they that devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.

¹³ But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter.

¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
