Romans 4:23

Catholic Public Domain Version

Now this has been written, that it was reputed to him unto justice, not only for his sake,

See the chapter Copy

For whatever was written, was written to teach us, so that, through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

Now all of these things happened to them as an example, and so they have been written for our correction, because the final age has fallen upon us.

Now these things were done as an example for us, so that we might not desire evil things, just as they desired.
