circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian,

and forgiving one another,

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

as it is fit in the Lord.

and be not bitter against them.

according to the flesh;
not with eyeservice,
as menpleasers;
but in singleness of heart,
fearing God:

do it heartily,
as to the Lord, and not unto men;
3:24 Knowing that
of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance:
for ye serve the Lord Christ.
3:25 But he that doeth wrong
shall receive for the wrong
which he hath done:
and there is no respect of persons.
