24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

18But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
12For there is no difference betweene the Iew and the Greeke: for the same Lord ouer all, is rich vnto all, that call vpon him.
