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 

If someone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss. ¹  He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God.

If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.

And all these things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age according to the will of our God and Father,

And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey ¹  the whole law.

when he nullified ¹  in his flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in himself one new man ²  out of two, ³  thus making peace,

and live ¹  in love, just as Christ also loved us ²  and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering ³  to God.

because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church – he himself being the savior of the body.

so that he ¹  may present the church to himself as glorious – not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless. ² 

In the same way ¹  husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Nevertheless, ¹  each one of you must also love his own wife as he loves himself, ²  and the wife must ³  respect ⁴  her husband.

but emptied himself by taking on the form of a slave, ¹  by looking like other men, ²  and by sharing in human nature. ³ 

and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross – through him, ¹  whether things on earth or things in heaven.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope,

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.

So if someone cleanses himself of such behavior, ¹  he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart, useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

Think of him who endured such opposition against himself by sinners, so that you may not grow weary in your souls and give up.

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil, ¹  and he himself tempts no one.
