And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, {\i even the word} of God, ye accepted {\i it} not {\i as} the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members {\i as} servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members {\i as} servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)
