For even Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.” ¹ 

But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you, because of the grace given to me by God

but as it is written: “Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.” ¹ 

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.” ¹ 

For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. As it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness.” ¹ 

So do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” ¹ 

These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living person”; ¹  the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

as it is written: “The one who gathered ¹  much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.” ² 

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming ¹  a curse for us (because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”) ² 

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the ¹  slave woman and the other by the free woman.

Now on the topic of times and seasons, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  you have no need for anything to be written to you.

I, Paul, have written ¹  this letter ²  with my own hand: ³  I will repay it. I could also mention that you owe ⁴  me your very self.

“Then I said, ‘Here I am: ¹  I have come – it is written of me in the scroll of the book – to do your will, O God.’” ² 

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, ¹  bear with my message of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you briefly.

Dear friends, this is already the second letter I have written ¹  you, in which ²  I am trying to stir up ³  your pure mind by way of reminder:

I have not written to you that ¹  you do not know the truth, but that ²  you do know it, and that ³  no lie is of the truth.

I have written these things ¹  to you who believe ²  in the name of the Son of God so that ³  you may know that you have eternal life.

On ¹  her forehead was written a name, a mystery: ²  “Babylon the Great, the Mother of prostitutes and of the detestable things of the earth.”

His eyes are like a fiery ¹  flame and there are many diadem crowns ²  on his head. He has ³  a name written ⁴  that no one knows except himself.
