- Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

- Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Warning
Colossians 2:8, 16-17, 20-23
- Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
- Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
- Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
- Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
- (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
- Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
- Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

- We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
Do

- If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
- For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

- For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
- Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
