⁵⁰ This, is that bread which cometh from heaven: that he which of it eateth, should also not die. ⁵¹ I am that living bread, which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." ⁵² And the Jews strove among themselves, saying, "How can this fellow give us his flesh to eat?" ⁵³ Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you. ⁵⁴ Whosoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, the same hath eternal life: And I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me: and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living father hath sent me, even so live I by my father: and he that eateth me, shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came from heaven: not as your fathers have eaten manna and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live ever." ⁵⁹ These things said he in the synagogue as he taught in Capernaum. ⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; Who can abide the hearing of it?" ⁶¹ Jesus knew, in himself, that his disciples murmured at it, and said unto them, "Doth this offend you? ⁶² What and if ye shall see the son of man ascend up where he was before? ⁶³ It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you are spirit and life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you that believe not." For Jesus knew from the beginning, which they were that believed not. And who should betray him. ⁶⁵ And he said, "Therefore said I unto you, That no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my father." ⁶⁶ From that time, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. ⁶⁷ Then said Jesus to the twelve, "Will ye also go away?" ⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life; ⁶⁹ And we have believed, and known, that thou art Christ, the son of the living God." ⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, "Have not I chosen you twelve? And yet one of you is the devil?" ⁷¹ He spake it of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. For he it was that should betray him, and was one of the twelve.

⁶ which hath made us able to minister the new testament, not of the letter, but of the spirit. For the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

¹ There is, then, no damnation to them which are in Christ Jesus: which walk not after the flesh but after the spirit: ² For the law of the spirit, that bringeth life through Jesus Christ, hath delivered me from the law of sin, and death: ³ For what the law could not do, inasmuch as it was weak because of the flesh — that performed God, and sent his son in the similitude of sinful flesh, and by sin damned sin in the flesh; ⁴ that the righteousness required of the law might be fulfilled in us, which walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. ⁵ For they that are carnal, are carnally minded; But they that are spiritual are spiritually minded. ⁶ To be carnally minded is death; But to be spiritually minded is life, and peace: ⁷ because that the fleshly mind is enmity against God: For it is not obedient to the law of God, neither can be. ⁸ So then, they that are given to the flesh, cannot please God. ⁹ But ye are not given to the flesh; But to the spirit: If so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. If there be any man that hath not the spirit of Christ, the same is none of his. ¹⁰ If Christ be in you: the body is dead, because of sin; But the spirit is life for righteousness' sake. ¹¹ Wherefore, if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from death, dwell in you: even he that raised up Christ from death, shall quicken your mortal bodies, because that this spirit dwelleth in you. ¹² Therefore, brethren, we are now debtors; not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: ¹³ For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die. But if ye mortify the deeds of the body, by the help of the spirit, ye shall live, ¹⁴ for as many as are led by the spirit of God: they are the sons of God. ¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage to fear anymore, but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, "Abba father." ¹⁶ The same spirit certifieth our spirit that we are the sons of God. ¹⁷ If we be sons, we are also heirs: the heirs, I mean, of God: and heirs annexed with Christ. If so be that we suffer together, that we may be glorified together. ¹⁸ For I suppose that the afflictions of this life are not worthy of the glory which shall be showed upon us.

⁶ which will reward every man according to his deeds, ⁷ that is to say: praise, honour, and immortality, to them which continue in good doing, and seek eternal life. ⁸ But unto them that are rebellious, and disobey the truth, and follow iniquity, shall come indignation and wrath,

⁸ For by grace are ye made safe through faith, and that, not of yourselves: For it is the gift of God, ⁹ and cometh not of works, lest any man should boast himself. ¹⁰ Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one point, he is guilty in all.

⁵ not of the deeds of righteousness which we wrought, but of his mercy, he saved us, by the fountain of the new birth, and with the renewing of the holy ghost,

¹ Take heed to your alms, that ye give it not in the sight of men, to the intent that ye would be seen of them: or else ye get no reward of your father which is in heaven. ² Whensoever therefore thou givest thine alms, thou shalt not make a trumpet to be blown before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues, and in the streets, for to be praised of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. ³ But when thou doest thine alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: ⁴ that thine alms may be secret: and thy father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. ⁵ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, because they would be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. ⁶ But when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and shut thy door to thee, and pray to thy father which is in secret; and thy father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. ⁷ "And when ye pray, babble not much, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard, for their much babbling's sake. ⁸ Be ye not like them therefore: for your father knoweth whereof ye have need, before ye ask of him. ⁹ After this manner, therefore, pray ye: O our father, which art in heaven hallowed be thy name. ¹⁰ Let thy kingdom come. Thy will be fulfilled, as well in earth, as it is in heaven. ¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread. ¹² And forgive us our trespasses, even as we forgive our trespassers. ¹³ Lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil, For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory for ever. Amen. ¹⁴ For and if ye shall forgive other men their trespasses, your heavenly father shall also forgive you. ¹⁵ But and if ye will not forgive men their trespasses, no more shall your father forgive your trespasses. ¹⁶ "Moreover, when ye fast, be not sad as the hypocrites are: for they disfigure their faces, that they might be seen of men how they fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. ¹⁷ But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face, ¹⁸ that it appear not unto men how that thou fastest, but unto thy father which is in secret: and thy father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. ¹⁹ "See that ye gather not treasure together upon the earth, where rust and moths corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: ²⁰ But gather ye treasures together in heaven, where neither rust, nor yet moths corrupt: and where thieves neither break up, nor yet steal. ²¹ For wheresoever your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ²² The light of the body is thine eye: wherefore if thine eye be single, all thy body shall be full of light. ²³ But and if thine eye be wicked, then all thy body shall be full of darkness. Wherefore if the light that is in thee, be darkness: how great is that darkness? ²⁴ No man can serve two masters: For either he shall hate the one, and love the other; or else he shall lean to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. ²⁵ Therefore I say unto you, be not careful for your life what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body, what raiment ye shall put on. Is not the life more worth than meat? and the body more of value than raiment? ²⁶ Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither reap, nor yet carry into the barns, and yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? ²⁷ Which of you, though he took thought therefore, could put one cubit unto his stature? ²⁸ And why care ye then for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They labor not, neither spin: ²⁹ And yet for all that, I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his royalty, was not arrayed like unto one of these. ³⁰ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow shall be cast into the furnace, shall he not much more do the same unto you, O ye of little faith? ³¹ Therefore take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?' Or. 'What shall we drink?' Or, 'Wherewith shall we be clothed?' ³² After all these things seek the gentiles: For your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. ³³ But rather, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof; and all these things shall be ministered unto you. ³⁴ Care not then for the morrow: but let the morrow care for itself. For the day present hath ever enough of his own trouble.

²⁶ If any man among you seem devout, and refrain not his tongue: but deceive his own heart, this man's devotion is in vain. ²⁷ Pure devotion, and undefiled before God the father, is this: To visit the friendless, and widows in their adversity, and to keep himself unspotted of the world.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all creatures: ¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptised, shall be saved: But he that believeth not, shall be damned.
