G2228–ἤ–ē

Brethren, do you not know--for I am writing to people acquainted with the Law--that it is during our lifetime that we are subject to the Law?

Ἢ Ē “Or”

Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or hunger, nakedness or danger or the sword?

and even then, though they were not then born and had not done anything either good or evil, yet in order that God's electing purpose might not be frustrated, based, as it was, not on their actions but on the will of Him who called them, she was told,

ἢ ē “or”

Or has not the potter rightful power over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel for more honourable and another for less honourable uses?

ἢ ē “Or”

"nor `Who shall go down into the abyss?'" --that is, to bring Christ up again from the grave.

ἢ ē “or”

God has not cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah--how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

Ἢ Ē “Or”

"Who has ever known the mind of the Lord, or shared His counsels?"

ἢ ē “or”

"Who has first given God anything, so as to receive payment in return?"

ἢ ē “Or”

Carry out these injunctions because you know the critical period at which we are living, and that it is now high time, to rouse yourselves from sleep; for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first became believers.

ἢ ē “than”

Who are you that you should find fault with the servant of another? Whether he stands or falls is a matter which concerns his own master. But stand he will; for the Master can give him power to stand.

ἢ ē “or”

But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;

ἢ ē “or”

Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement--that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.

ἢ ē “or”

The right course is to forego eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything that tends to your brother's fall.

ἢ ē “or”ἢ ē “or”

Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?

ἢ ē “Or”

And as for myself, brethren, when I came to you, it was not with surpassing power of eloquence or earthly wisdom that I came, announcing to you that which God had commanded me to bear witness to.

ἢ ē “or”

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are just God's servants, through whose efforts, and as the Lord granted power to each, you accepted the faith.

ἢ ē “than”

I however am very little concerned at undergoing your scrutiny, or that of other men; in fact I do not even scrutinize myself.

ἢ ē “or”

Which shall it be? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in a loving and tender spirit?

ἢ ē “or”

not that in this world you are to keep wholly aloof from such as they, any more than from people who are avaricious and greedy of gain, or from worshippers of idols. For that would mean that you would be compelled to go out of the world altogether.

ἢ ē “or”ἢ ē “or”

But what I meant was that you were not to associate with any one bearing the name of "brother," if he was addicted to fornication or avarice or idol-worship or abusive language or hard-drinking or greed of gain. With such a man you ought not even to eat.

ἢ ē “or”ἢ ē “or”ἢ ē “or”ἢ ē “or”ἢ ē “or”

Do you not know that God's people will sit in judgement upon the world? And if you are the court before which the world is to be judged, are you unfit to deal with these petty matters?

ἢ ē “Or”

Do you not know that unrighteous men will not inherit God's Kingdom? Cherish no delusion here. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor any who are guilty of unnatural crime,

ἢ ē “Or”

Or do you not know that a man who has to do with a prostitute is one with her in body? For God says, "The two shall become one."

ἢ ē “Or”

Or do you not know that your bodies are a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you--the Spirit whom you have from God?

ἢ ē “Or”

If, however, they cannot maintain self-control, by all means let them marry; for marriage is better than the fever of passion.
