But our faith is without such ceremony, and content with spiritual worship.(d) Through the Spirit who brings about faith. read more

5:10 {9} I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.(9) He moderates the former reprehension, casting the fault upon the false apostles, against whom he denounces the horrible judgment of God. read more
