1Chapter 10 — Beware of Judaizing.
2Let us not, therefore, be insensible to His kindness.
3For were He to reward us according to our works, we should cease to be.
4Therefore, having become His disciples, let us learn to live according to the principles of Christianity.
5For whosoever is called by any other name besides this, is not of God.
6Lay aside, therefore, the evil, the old, the sour leaven, and be ye changed into the new leaven, which is Jesus Christ.
7Be ye salted in Him, lest any one among you should be corrupted, since by your savour ye shall be convicted.
8It is absurd to profess Christ Jesus, and to Judaize.
9For Christianity did not embrace Judaism, but Judaism Christianity, that so every tongue which believeth might be gathered together to God.
10Let us not, therefore, be insensible to His kindness.
11For were He to reward us according to our works, we should cease to be.
12For "if Thou, Lord, shalt mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?" Let us therefore prove ourselves worthy of that name which we have received.
13For whosoever is called by any other name besides this, he is not of God; for he has not received the prophecy which speaks thus concerning us: "The people shall be called by a new name, which the Lord shall name them, and shall be a holy people".
14This was first fulfilled in Syria; for "the disciples were called Christians at Antioch," when Paul and Peter were laying the foundations of the Church.
15Lay aside, therefore, the evil, the old, the corrupt leaven, and be ye changed into the new leaven of grace.
16Abide in Christ, that the stranger may not have dominion over you.
17It is absurd to speak of Jesus Christ with the tongue, and to cherish in the mind a Judaism which has now come to an end.
18For where there is Christianity there cannot be Judaism.
19For Christ is one, in whom every nation that believes, and every tongue that confesses, is gathered unto God.
20And those that were of a stony heart have become the children of Abraham, the friend of God; and in his seed all those have been blessed who were ordained to eternal life in Christ.
