6. From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talk;
7. Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor the things they affirm.

13. Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolent: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14. And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
