which thou hast given them;

that if the Gentiles have not charity, because of our weakness,

that thou wilt prove them, and take away their talent,

yea, even that which they have received,

and give unto them who shall have more abundantly.

that he would give unto the Gentiles grace,

that they might have charity.

yea, and also unto my brethren whom I love,

until we shall meet before the judgment-seat of Christ,

where all men shall know that my garments are not spotted with your blood.
