¹⁴ If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

²² To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

³⁰ The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

¹⁰ Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

¹⁹ Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

²⁰ Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

¹ Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

² While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
