Since God is one, ¹  he will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function,

so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And let us not be immoral, as some of them were, and twenty-three thousand died in a single day. ¹ 

It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.

But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided.

If someone speaks in a tongue, it should be two, or at the most three, one after the other, and someone must interpret.

For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband, ¹  to present you as a pure ²  virgin to Christ.

For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment, ¹  namely, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” ²

But when this priest ¹  had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand ²  of God,

And see to it that no one becomes ¹  an immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. ² 

For the one who obeys the whole law but fails ¹  in one point has become guilty of all of it. ²
