¹⁵ we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations,

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;

³ among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others,

⁹ What, then? are we better? not at all! for we did before charge both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin,

⁴ though I also have `cause of' trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;

¹¹ Wherefore, remember, that ye `were' once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,

¹² that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world;

¹⁶ Because of this `it is' of faith, that `it may be' according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which `is' of the law only, but also to that which `is' of the faith of Abraham,

²¹ and he said unto me, Go, because to nations far off I will send thee.'

³⁹ They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

⁴⁰ and now, ye seek to kill me -- a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;

⁴¹ ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have -- God;'

²⁶ and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation -- and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her daughter.

²⁷ And Jesus said to her, `Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast `it' to the little dogs.'

²⁸ And she answered and saith to him, `Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children's crumbs.'

¹¹ and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, `Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?'

⁷ And having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming about his baptism, he said to them, `Brood of vipers! who did shew you to flee from the coming wrath?

⁸ bear, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation,

⁹ and do not think to say in yourselves, A father we have -- Abraham, for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham,

¹⁸ and Jehovah sendeth thee in the way, and saith, Go, and thou hast devoted the sinners, the Amalekite, and fought against them till they are consumed;
