Love does no wrong to his neighbour, so love makes the law complete.

The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light,

As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.

So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another.

Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

So that with one mouth you may give glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So then, take one another to your hearts, as Christ took us, to the glory of God.

And so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy; as it is said, For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and I will make a song to your name.

Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

To be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, doing the work of a priest in the good news of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be pleasing to God, being made holy by the Holy Spirit.

So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's.

By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;

Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;

So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.

So that I may be kept safe from those in Judaea who have not put themselves under the rule of God, and that the help which I am taking for Jerusalem may be pleasing to the saints;

So that I may come to you in joy by the good pleasure of God, and have rest with you.

Now may the God of peace be with you all. So be it.

Timothy, who is working with me, sends his love to you, so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relations.

Gaius, with whom I am living, whose house is open to all the church, sends his love, so does Erastus, the manager of the accounts of the town, and Quartus, the brother.
