5 But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, ^ywhat shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)

19 I am speaking ^zin human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to ^asanctification.

32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, ^e“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
