¹⁵ because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men;

¹² having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.

³ for this is the will of God -- your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom,

¹⁷ for `it is' better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil;

⁸ discourse sound, irreprehensible, that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you.

¹⁸ in every thing give thanks, for this `is' the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

²¹ because, having known God they did not glorify `Him' as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,

⁶ not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the Christ, doing the will of God out of soul,

⁷ with good-will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men,

² no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;

¹² and these, as irrational natural beasts, made to be caught and destroyed -- in what things they are ignorant of, speaking evil -- in their destruction shall be destroyed,

¹⁰ and these, as many things indeed as they have not known, they speak evil of; and as many things as naturally (as the irrational beasts) they understand, in these they are corrupted;

²⁶ `And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

²² For my people `are' foolish, me they have not known, Foolish sons `are' they, yea, they `are' not intelligent, Wise `are' they to do evil, And to do good they have not known.

⁶ Forsake ye, the simple, and live, And be happy in the way of understanding.

⁴² The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.

¹⁰ And he saith unto her, `As one of the foolish women speaketh, thou speakest; yea, the good we receive from God, and the evil we do not receive.' In all this Job hath not sinned with his lips.

² and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;

¹ O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

¹³ who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did `it' in unbelief,

³ for we were once -- also we -- thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious -- hating one another;

⁵ The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

¹⁶ And there is hope to the poor, And perverseness hath shut her mouth.

⁶ To Jehovah do ye act thus, O people foolish and not wise? Is not He thy father -- thy possessor? He made thee, and doth establish thee.
