⁷ But since they kept on asking Him, straightening up He said to them, “Let the one without sin among you throw the first stone at her.” ⁸ And stooping down again He continued writing on the ground. ⁹ Now upon hearing this, and being convicted by their conscience, they began to go out one by one, starting with the older ones down to the least. So only Jesus was left, with the woman in the center. ¹⁰ So straightening up, and not seeing anyone except the woman, Jesus said to her, “Where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” ¹¹ So she said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on don’t sin any more.”

³⁹ And the second is like it, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’

¹⁶ I say then: walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ Because the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh; they oppose each other; it follows that you may not do the things that you wish. ¹⁸ However, if you are led by the Spirit you are not under a law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are obvious, namely: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, fits of anger, selfish ambition, dissentions, factions, ²¹ envyings, murders, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like; about which I am warning you beforehand, as, in fact, I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, self-control—against such things there is no law. ²⁴ Further, those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ²⁵ Since we live by the Spirit, let us also conform to the Spirit.

¹¹ So He said to them: “Not all can assimilate this word, but those to whom it has been given. ¹² For there are eunuchs who were born that way, from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were castrated by men; and there are eunuchs who castrated themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to assimilate it, let him assimilate.”

⁸ Owe no one anything except to love one another, since he who loves the other has fulfilled the law. ⁹ Because—“You shall not commit adultery”, “You shall not murder”, “You shall not steal”, “You shall not bear false witness”, “You shall not covet”, and whatever further commandment—everything is summed up in this word, namely: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁰ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

¹⁴ For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, namely: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”.

¹² So then, whatever you want people to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

²⁰ He went on to say: “That which comes out of a man, that is what defiles him. ²¹ Because from within, out of men’s hearts, the evil designs proceed—adulteries, fornications, murders, ²² thefts, covetings, malignancies; deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, arrogance, foolishness— ²³ all these malignant things proceed from within and defile the man.”

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor the greedy, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the abusive, nor swindlers can inherit the Kingdom of God, absolutely. ¹¹ And that is what some of you were; but you were bathed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

²³ and exchanged for themselves the glory of the incorruptible God for an image resembling a perishable man —even birds and quadrupeds and reptiles! ²⁴ Therefore God also gave them up, through the cravings of their hearts for vileness, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves ²⁵ —they had exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. ²⁶ For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions; in fact even their females exchanged the natural sexual function for that against nature; ²⁷ likewise also the males, abandoning the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust toward one another, males committing the disgraceful act with males, and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. ²⁸ So precisely because they determined not to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a debased mind, to do wrong things:
