Their condemnation is just. ⁹ What then? are we better than they? No, by no means: for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be held accountable to God. ²⁰ Therefore, by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified in his sight: for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

²¹ So that as sin has reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁵ For if we have been united with him by sharing a death like his, so shall we also share a resurrection like his: ⁶ Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should no longer be enslaved by sin. ⁷ For he who has died is freed from sin.

⁷ For he who has died is freed from sin. ⁸ Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

⁸ Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

⁸ Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: ⁹ Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again: death no longer has power over him.

⁹ Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again: death no longer has power over him.

¹³ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness: but yield yourselves to God, as those who are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. ¹⁴ For sin shall not be your master: for you are not under the law, but under grace. ¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means. ¹⁶ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves as slaves to obey someone, you are slaves of the one you obey; whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

¹⁶ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves as slaves to obey someone, you are slaves of the one you obey; whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? ¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that you who were once the slaves of sin, have obeyed from the heart that standard of teaching which was entrusted to you.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that you who were once the slaves of sin, have obeyed from the heart that standard of teaching which was entrusted to you. ¹⁸ Being then set free from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness. ¹⁹ I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members as slaves to uncleanness and to ever increasing iniquity; so now yield your members as slaves to righteousness, leading to holiness.

¹ Do you not know, brethren, (for I speak to those who know the law,) that the law has jurisdiction over a person only as long as he lives? ² For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband dies, she is released from the law concerning her husband.

⁴ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ; so that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead that we might bring forth fruit for God.

⁴ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ; so that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead that we might bring forth fruit for God. ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin, which were aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bring forth fruit for death.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin, which were aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bring forth fruit for death. ⁶ But now we have been released from the law, dead to that which held us bound; so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

⁶ But now we have been released from the law, dead to that which held us bound; so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. ⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. On the contrary, I would not have known sin, but by the law: for I would not have known about coveting unless the law had said, You shall not covet. ⁸ But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For without the law sin is dead. ⁹ For I was once alive without the law: but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which was intended to bring life, I found to bring death. ¹¹ For sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

²³ But I see another law in the members of my body, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

²³ But I see another law in the members of my body, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death?

²⁴ O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death? ²⁵ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, with my mind I myself serve the law of God; but with my flesh the law of sin.

²⁵ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, with my mind I myself serve the law of God; but with my flesh the law of sin.

¹ Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. ³ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, as an offering for sin; condemning sin in the flesh:

³ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, as an offering for sin; condemning sin in the flesh: ⁴ That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk in the ways of the flesh, but in the ways of the Spirit.

⁶ Now the mind set on the flesh is death; but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace.

¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies by his Spirit who dwells in you. ¹² Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, but not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. ¹³ For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if through the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.

¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us.

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness: for we do not know how to pray as we ought: but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

⁶ And if by grace, then it is no longer by works: otherwise grace is no longer grace.

¹ Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship.

¹ Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship. ² And do not be conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good, and acceptable, and perfect.

¹³ Let us conduct ourselves properly, as in the day; not in carousing and drunkenness, not in debauchery and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. ¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its lusts.

¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its lusts.

⁷ For none of us lives for himself, and none of us dies for himself. ⁸ For if we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord: therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

¹ We then who are strong ought to bear with the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any work except what Christ has done through me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

²⁶ But now has been made manifest, and through the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith: ²⁷ To the only wise God, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

⁴ I thank my God always for you, because of the grace of God which has been given you in Jesus Christ;

¹⁶ Do you not know that you are God's temple, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

⁶ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

² Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexual offenders,

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexual offenders,

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexual offenders, ¹⁰ Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁰ Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹⁴ And God has raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his power. ¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a prostitute? Never.

¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a prostitute? Never. ¹⁶ Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? for the two, he says, shall become one flesh.

¹⁹ Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God, and that you are not your own? ²⁰ For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

²¹ Were you called when a slave? do not let it trouble you: but if you may become free, do so. ²² For he who is called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman: likewise he who is called while free, is Christ's slave.

²² For he who is called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman: likewise he who is called while free, is Christ's slave.

⁸ Do I say these things merely on human authority? or does not the law say the same?

¹³ Do you not know that those who perform the temple services eat the food of the temple? and those who serve at the altar share what is offered at the altar?

²⁰ To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win the Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; ²¹ To those who are without the law, as without the law, (though I am not without the law of God, but am under the law of Christ,) that I might win those who are without the law.

²⁴ Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

¹³ For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slave or free; and have all been made to drink of one Spirit.

²⁹ Otherwise, what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead are not raised at all? why then are they baptized for the dead?

³² If for merely human reasons I fought beasts in Ephesus, what advantage is that to me, if the dead are not raised? let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die. ³³ Do not be deceived: bad company corrupts good morals.

⁵³ For the perishable must put on the imperishable, and the mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ When the perishable has put on the imperishable, and the mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

¹⁴ Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and makes manifest through us the fragrance of the knowledge of him in every place.

⁶ Who has also made us able ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. ⁷ For if the ministry of death, written and engraved in stone, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance; and that glory fading: ⁸ Shall not the ministry of the spirit be even more glorious? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, far more does the ministry of righteousness exceed it in glory.

¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

¹⁰ Always carrying about in our body the dying of Jesus, that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our body.

¹⁰ Always carrying about in our body the dying of Jesus, that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our body. ¹¹ For we who live are always being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

¹¹ For we who live are always being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our mortal flesh. ¹² So then death works in us, but life in you. ¹³ As it is written, I believed, and therefore I have spoken; so we, with the same spirit of faith, also believe, and therefore speak; ¹⁴ Knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus shall also raise us up with Jesus, and shall present us with you in his presence.

⁴ For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened: not that we would be unclothed, but rather further clothed, that mortality might be swallowed up by life.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ controls us; because we are convinced that one died for all, therefore all died: ¹⁵ And he died for all, that those who live should not henceforth live for themselves, but for him who died for them, and rose again.

¹⁵ And he died for all, that those who live should not henceforth live for themselves, but for him who died for them, and rose again. ¹⁶ Therefore, we no longer regard man according to the flesh: though once we regarded Christ according to the flesh, yet now we regard him thus no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

¹⁷ Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

²¹ For our sakes he has made him to be sin, who knew no sin; that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

¹ Therefore, having these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

¹¹ For behold what earnestness this godly sorrow has produced in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what readiness to punish wrongdoing! In all things you have shown yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

⁵ And this they did, not as we expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God.

⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are mighty before God for the pulling down of strongholds. ⁵ We cast down arguments, and every lofty thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; ⁶ And we have a readiness to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is complete.

⁴ For though he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God to serve you. ⁵ Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test your own selves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you fail the test?

¹⁰ Do I now seek the favour of men, or of God? or do I seek to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

¹⁷ But if, while seeking to be justified by Christ, we ourselves are also shown to be sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? God forbid. ¹⁸ For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I prove myself to be a transgressor. ¹⁹ For through the law I am dead to the law, that I might live to God.

¹⁹ For through the law I am dead to the law, that I might live to God. ²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. ²¹ I do not nullify the grace of God: for if righteousness comes by the law, then Christ died in vain.

¹⁰ For all who depend on the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do all things which are written in the book of the law.

¹⁵ Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it is ratified, no man annuls or adds to it.

²³ But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up until faith should be revealed.

²⁷ For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

⁴ But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ To redeem those who were under the law, that we might be adopted as sons.

²¹ Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

¹ It is for liberty that Christ has made us free. Therefore, stand fast and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

¹³ For, brethren, you have been called to liberty; only do not use your liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but in love serve one another.

¹⁶ This I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²⁴ And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

⁷ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap. ⁸ For he who sows to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life.

¹⁴ But God forbid that I should glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵ For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only a new creation. ¹⁶ And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

¹⁶ Do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

¹⁹ And what is the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe. It is the working of his mighty power, ²⁰ Which he exerted in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

² In which you walked in times past, according to the ways of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience. ³ Among them we all lived in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, like the others.

³ Among them we all lived in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, like the others.

⁵ Even when we were dead in transgressions, has made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;)

⁵ Even when we were dead in transgressions, has made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;)

⁵ Even when we were dead in transgressions, has made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;) ⁶ And has raised us up with him, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

⁶ And has raised us up with him, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus: ⁷ That in the ages to come he might show the incomparable riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

⁷ That in the ages to come he might show the incomparable riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. ⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹ Not because of works, lest any man should boast. ¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared beforehand for us to do.

¹⁷ This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as other Gentiles walk, in the futility of their minds,

²² Then put off the old man, which belongs to your former life, which is corrupt through deceitful lusts;

²² Then put off the old man, which belongs to your former life, which is corrupt through deceitful lusts; ²³ And be renewed in the spirit of your minds; ²⁴ And put on the new man, who, in the likeness of God, is created in true righteousness and holiness.

⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light; ⁹ (For the fruit of the Spirit consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

¹⁴ Therefore he says, Awaken, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

³ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, ⁴ Always, in every prayer of mine for you all, I make my requests with joy, ⁵ Because of your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

¹¹ Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are from Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

²⁰ According to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but that with all boldness, now as always, Christ shall be exalted in my body, whether by life, or by death.

¹⁰ That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming like him in his death; ¹¹ If only I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.

¹⁷ Brethren, join together in following me, and note those who walk according to our example. ¹⁸ For many, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even with weeping, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ: ¹⁹ Whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

⁷ And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

¹⁷ Not because I desire a gift: but I desire the fruit that increases to your credit.

³ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, ⁴ Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have for all the saints,

⁹ For this reason, since the day we heard it, we do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ That you might walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all things, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

¹⁰ That you might walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all things, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; ¹¹ Strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, with all endurance and patience with joyfulness; ¹² Giving thanks to the Father, who has made us qualified to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.

¹¹ In him also you were circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

¹¹ In him also you were circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: ¹² Having been buried with him in baptism, you have also risen with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

¹² Having been buried with him in baptism, you have also risen with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

¹² Having been buried with him in baptism, you have also risen with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. ¹³ And you, being dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has made alive together with him, having forgiven us all transgressions;

¹³ And you, being dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has made alive together with him, having forgiven us all transgressions;

²⁰ Therefore, if you are dead with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as though still living in the world, do you submit to such ordinances as,

¹ If you have been raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.

¹ If you have been raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. ² Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. ³ For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

³ For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

³ For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

³ For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then you shall also appear with him in glory.

⁴ When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then you shall also appear with him in glory. ⁵ Therefore, put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

⁵ Therefore, put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

⁵ Therefore, put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. ⁶ For because of these things the wrath of God is coming: ⁷ And in them you also walked at one time, when you lived in them.

⁹ Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds; ¹⁰ And have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of the one who created him.

¹⁰ And have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of the one who created him.

¹⁷ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

¹ Masters, give to your slaves that which is just and fair; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

¹² Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, greets you, always labouring fervently for you in prayer, that you may stand firm and fully assured in all the will of God.

² We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; ³ Always remembering your work of faith, and labour of love, and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father;

⁹ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy which we have before our God because of you;

⁵ Not in the lust of passion, as the Gentiles who do not know God:

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus. ¹⁵ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall not precede those who are asleep. ¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: ¹⁷ Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

³ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith grows abundantly, and the love of every one of you for each other grows greater;

¹² That all those might be condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹³ Though I was formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a violent man: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me, along with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ This is a trustworthy saying, and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am the foremost. ¹⁶ Yet for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might show forth his unlimited patience, as a pattern for those who would believe in him for eternal life.

³ I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience, as without ceasing I remember you night and day in my prayers. ⁴ Remembering your tears, I greatly desire to see you, that I may be filled with joy; ⁵ I am reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and I am persuaded is in you also.

¹³ Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

¹¹ This is a faithful saying: If we died with him, we shall also live with him: ¹² If we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he will deny us:

¹⁶ But avoid godless and empty chatter: for it will lead people to more ungodliness, ¹⁷ And their word will spread like gangrene. Among these are Hymenaeus and Philetus;

²² Flee youthful lusts: and follow righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God's chosen and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, ² Which rests in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the beginning of time;

¹¹ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, ¹² Teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, and live sensibly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

¹² Teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, and live sensibly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; ¹³ Looking for the blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ Who gave himself up for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works.

¹⁴ Who gave himself up for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works.

³ For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, slaves to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy; hated, and hating one another.

³ For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, slaves to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy; hated, and hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, ⁵ He saved us, not because of works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing by the Holy Spirit; ⁶ Whom he poured out upon us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs, having the hope of eternal life.

⁴ I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

¹⁴ Since then, as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he himself also partook of the same; that through death he might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil; ¹⁵ And deliver those who through fear of death were all their lives subject to bondage.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities; but one who in every respect was tempted as we are, yet without sin.

⁹ And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation for all those who obey him;

⁸ But that which bears thorns and thistles is worthless, and is near to being cursed; its end is to be burned.

¹⁶ Who is made such, not by a law concerning a physical requirement, but by the power of an endless life.

²⁵ Therefore, he is also able to completely save those who come to God through him, for he ever lives to make intercession for them.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:

²⁶ For then he would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world: but now he has appeared once at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. ²⁷ And as it is appointed for men once to die, and after this comes judgment: ²⁸ So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many; shall appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring full salvation to those who eagerly await him.

¹² But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; ¹³ From that time on waiting until his enemies are made his footstool.

²⁹ How much more severe punishment do you suppose he shall deserve, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has affronted the Spirit of grace?

⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out to a place which he should later receive as an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was to go.

¹⁵ See to it that no man fails to obtain the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up should trouble you, and thereby defile many;

¹ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greetings.

¹⁴ But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away and enticed by his own lust. ¹⁵ Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is fully-grown, brings forth death.

¹⁵ Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is fully-grown, brings forth death.

⁵ Even so, the tongue is a small part of the body, and it boasts of great things. Behold how great a forest is kindled by a little fire! ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity among our members. It defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the whole course of life; and is itself set on fire by hell.

¹ What causes strife and quarrels among you? do they not come from your passions, which are at war in your members?

¹ What causes strife and quarrels among you? do they not come from your passions, which are at war in your members? ² You covet, and do not have, so you kill; and envy, and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. ³ You ask, and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it upon your pleasures. ⁴ You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? whoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

²⁰ Let him know, that he who turns a sinner from the error of his ways shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who by his abundant mercy has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ To an imperishable and undefiled inheritance, that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

⁹ Receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

¹⁴ Live as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the lusts of your former ignorance:

²² Since you have purified your souls by obeying the truth, so you have a sincere love of the brethren; love one another fervently from the heart.

⁵ You also, as living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God; that you should declare the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

¹¹ Dearly beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers, abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul.

¹⁶ Live as free men, not using your liberty as a cloak for evil, but live as the servants of God.

²⁴ He himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we might die to sins and live to righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

¹ Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your husbands; so that, if any do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the behaviour of the wives;

¹⁸ For Christ died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

²¹ This water symbolizes baptism, which now saves us (not by the removal of dirt from the body, but by an appeal of a good conscience to God,) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

¹ Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same mind: for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;

¹ Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same mind: for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;

¹ Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same mind: for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin; ² That he may live the rest of his time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

² That he may live the rest of his time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

² That he may live the rest of his time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

² That he may live the rest of his time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

² That he may live the rest of his time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. ³ For the time past was sufficient for doing the things the Gentiles desire to do: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, revelling, carousing, and abominable idolatries.

³ For the time past was sufficient for doing the things the Gentiles desire to do: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, revelling, carousing, and abominable idolatries.

³ For the time past was sufficient for doing the things the Gentiles desire to do: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, revelling, carousing, and abominable idolatries. ⁴ They think it strange that you do not run with them into the same excess of dissipation, and they speak evil of you:

⁴ They think it strange that you do not run with them into the same excess of dissipation, and they speak evil of you: ⁵ But they shall give an account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For this reason the gospel was also preached to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh as men, they might live according to God in the spirit.

¹¹ If any man speak, let it be as one who speaks the oracles of God; if any man serves, let him do it as by the strength which God supplies: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁷ For the time has come for judgment, which must begin with the household of God: and if it begins with us, what shall the end be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

⁴ By which he has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ⁵ For this very reason, give all diligence to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; ⁶ And to knowledge self-control; and to self-control perseverance; and to perseverance godliness; ⁷ And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness love. ⁸ For if these things are in you, and are increasing, they keep you from being either ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he who lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

¹³ And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness. They count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, revelling in their own deceptions while they feast with you; ¹⁴ Having eyes full of adultery, who cannot cease from sin; enticing unstable souls: they have a heart trained in greed; cursed children: ¹⁵ Who have forsaken the right way, and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

¹⁸ For they speak great swelling words of vanity, and allure through the lusts of the flesh, through sensuality, those who are just escaping from the ones who live in error. ¹⁹ While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the slaves of depravity: for by that which a man is overcome, to that he is enslaved.

¹⁹ While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the slaves of depravity: for by that which a man is overcome, to that he is enslaved.

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁶ He who says he abides in him ought also to walk as he walked.

¹⁵ Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world passes away, along with its lusts: but he who does the will of God abides forever.

²⁵ And this is the promise which he himself has given us: eternal life.

²⁸ And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

⁹ No one who is born of God practices sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

⁴ I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father.

³ For I rejoiced greatly, when some brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, how you walk in the truth. ⁴ For certain men have crept in secretly, who were long ago ordained for this condemnation; ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ These are grumblers, complainers, following after their own lusts; and their mouths speak great swelling words, flattering people to gain an advantage.

¹⁸ They told you there would be mockers in the last time, who would walk after their own ungodly lusts.

¹⁸ The one who lives; I was dead, and, behold, I am alive forevermore, and possess the keys of death and of Hades.

¹³ And one of the elders addressed me, saying, Who are these who are arrayed in white robes? and from where did they come?

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink; for such is their due.

¹⁴ And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

⁸ But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and the vile, and murderers, and the sexually immoral, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and sulphur: which is the second death.
