mit adultery, Thou
shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment,
it is comprised in this word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. (10)Love doeth no ill to a neighbour; the
fulfilment therefore of the law is love. (11)And thus do, knowing the
time; for the hour is come that we should awake from sleep, for now our
salvation is nearer than when we believed. (12)The night is far
advanced, the day approaches: let us therefore put off the works of
darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. (13)Let us walk
becomingly as in the face of day, not in revels and drunkenness, not in
impurities and wantonness, not in strife and envy. (14)But put ye on
the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to gratify
its passions.
CHAP. XIV.

for he giveth thanks to God; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he
eateth not, and giveth thanks to God. (7)For no one of us liveth to

Lord we live, and whether we die, to the Lord we die; whether therefore
we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's. (9)For to this end
Christ both died, and rose again, and revived, that he might be the
Lord both of the dead and of the living. (10)But thou, why judgest thou
