1 Corinthians

But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
