¹⁵ Do you not see that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? how then may I take what is a part of the body of Christ and make it a part of the body of a loose woman? such a thing may not be.

⁵ So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;

³⁰ Because we are parts of his body.

²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and every one of you the separate parts of it.

¹⁶ He will come and put them to destruction and give the garden to others. And when he said this, they said, May it not be so.

¹² For the training of the saints as servants in the church, for the building up of the body of Christ:

¹⁵ But saying true words in love, may come to full growth in him, who is the head, even Christ;

¹⁶ Through whom all the body, being rightly formed and united together, by the full working of every part, is increased to the building up of itself in love.

¹⁹ And not joined to the Head, from whom all the body, being given strength and kept together through its joins and bands, has its growth with the increase of God.

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

²² And he has put all things under his feet, and has made him to be head over all things to the church,

²³ Which is his body, the full measure of him in whom all things are made complete.

¹⁴ But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.

²¹ Is the law then against the words of God? in no way; because if there had been a law which was able to give life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

¹⁷ But if, while we were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!

³ But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

¹⁷ Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.

³ And if some have no faith, will that make the faith of God without effect?

⁴ In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue; as it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to be right when you are judged.

³¹ Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important.

² In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?

¹⁵ What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

⁷ What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

¹³ Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

¹³ Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will put an end to them together. But the body is not for the desires of the flesh, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

¹⁹ Or are you not conscious that your body is a house for the Holy Spirit which is in you, and which has been given to you by God? and you are not the owners of yourselves;

⁶ In no way: because if it is so, how is God able to be the judge of all the world?
