¹⁶ For how may you be certain, O wife, that you will not be the cause of salvation to your husband? or you, O husband, that you may not do the same for your wife?

¹⁴ If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.

²² To the feeble, I was as one who is feeble, so that they might have salvation: I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation.

³⁰ The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life, but violent behaviour takes away souls.

¹⁰ Even so, I say to you, There is joy among the angels of God, when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing.

¹⁶ Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.

¹⁹ My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,

²⁰ Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.

¹ Wives, be ruled by your husbands; so that even if some of them give no attention to the word, their hearts may be changed by the behaviour of their wives,

² When they see your holy behaviour in the fear of God.
