For by the grace given to me I say to every one of you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but to think with sober discernment, as God has distributed to each of you ¹  a measure of faith. ² 

but it is more vital for your sake that I remain ¹  in the body. ² 

Nevertheless, let us live up to the standard ¹  that we have already attained. ² 

For God ¹  was pleased to have all his ²  fullness dwell ³  in the Son ⁴ 

For the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins. ¹ 

From that time Jesus began to preach this message: ¹  “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

Then they brought to him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute. Jesus ¹  healed him so that he could speak and see. ² 

At that he began to curse, and he swore with an oath, “I do not know the man!” At that moment a rooster crowed. ¹ 

People were completely astounded and said, “He has done everything well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

When he went out from there, the experts in the law ¹  and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, ²  and to ask him hostile questions ³  about many things,

While ¹  they were talking and debating ²  these things, ³  Jesus himself approached and began to accompany them

I wrote ¹  the former ²  account, ³  Theophilus, ⁴  about all that Jesus began to do and teach

angry ¹  because they were teaching the people and announcing ²  in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

So because these facts ¹  are indisputable, ²  you must keep quiet ³  and not do anything reckless. ⁴ 

But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves. ¹ 

For it has been granted to you ¹  not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for him,

for the one bringing forth in you both the desire and the effort – for the sake of his good pleasure – is God.

to aspire to lead a quiet life, to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, as we commanded you.

But if ¹  that ²  slave should say to himself, ³  ‘My master is delayed ⁴  in returning,’ and he begins to beat ⁵  the other ⁶  slaves, both men and women, ⁷  and to eat, drink, and get drunk,

By all these things, ¹  I have shown you that by working in this way we must help ²  the weak, ³  and remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” ⁴
