Part 12

45:011:028 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

45:011:029 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

45:011:030 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

45:011:031 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

45:011:032 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

45:011:033 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

45:011:034 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

45:011:035 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

45:011:036 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

45:012:001 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

45:012:002 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

45:012:003 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

45:012:004 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

45:012:005 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

45:012:006 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

45:012:007 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

45:012:008 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

45:012:009 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

45:012:010 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

45:012:011 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

45:012:012 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

45:012:013 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

45:012:014 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

45:012:015 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

45:012:016 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

45:012:017 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

45:012:018 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

45:012:019 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
