^{1 (2:4)} But the Spirit says expressly, that in the last times some shall apostatize from the faith, attending to lying spirits and doctrines of demons, ² [misled] by the hypocrisy of false teachers, whose consciences are cauterized, ³ who forbid to marry, [command] to abstain from meat, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful and those who know the truth. ⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected, [but] to be received with thanksgiving; ⁵ for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer. ^{6 (2:5)} Suggesting these things to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished with the words of the faith and the good instruction which you have followed;

¹¹ Not that which enters into the mouth, defiles the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth that defiles the man.

⁹ Know you not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but you are washed, you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

^{1 (10:1)} RECEIVE the weak in faith, not to doubtful reasonings. ² For one has faith to eat all things, but he that is weak eats vegetables. ³ Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats; for God has accepted him. ⁴ Who are you that judge another man's servant? To his master he stands or falls; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. ^{5 (10:2)} One judges one day to be better than another, but another judges every day [to be alike]. Let each one be fully persuaded in his mind. ⁶ He that observes the day observes it to the Lord, and he that observes not the day observes it not to the Lord. And he that eats eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not eats not to the Lord, and gives God thanks. ⁷ For no one of us lives for himself; and no one dies for himself; ⁸ for if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; whether therefore we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For this end Christ died and lived again, that he might exercise lordship over the dead and living. ¹⁰ But why do you judge your brother? why do you set at nought your brother? for we must all stand at the tribunal of God. ¹¹ For it is written, [As] I live, says the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess to God. ¹² Each of us therefore shall give account of himself to God. ^{13 (10:3)} Let us not therefore judge one another, but judge this rather, not to place a stumbling-block or an offense before a brother. ¹⁴ I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is defiled in itself, except to him that thinks any thing to be defiled; to him it is defiled. ¹⁵ For if your brother is grieved by your food, you no longer walk in love. Destroy not with your food him for whom Christ died. ¹⁶ Let not your good therefore be injuriously spoken of. ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; ¹⁸ for he that in this serves Christ is well pleasing to God and approved by men. ¹⁹ Let us therefore pursue the things of peace and those which edify one another. ²⁰ On account of food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure, but evil is to the man that eats with offense; ²¹ it is good not to eat meat nor drink wine, nor [do] any thing by which your brother stumbles. ²² You have faith; have it for yourself before God, Blessed is he that condemns not himself in what he approves; ²³ but he that doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and every thing which is not of faith is sin.

⁷ casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you.

^{13 (1:3)} Wherefore, girding up the loins of your minds, be sober, and hope to the end for the gift to be brought to you by the revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹⁴ As obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires of your former ignorance, ¹⁵ but as he that called you is holy be you also holy in all [your] conduct, ¹⁶ because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy.

^{5 (1:2)} For this cause I left you in Crete, that you might regulate things which are deficient, and appoint elders in every city, as I charged you, ⁶ if any one is blameless, a husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of intemperance or of insubordination. ⁷ For a bishop must be blameless as a steward of God, not self-indulgent, not soon angry, not given to wine, not contentious, not devoted to base gain, ⁸ but a lover of hospitality, kind, sober, just, holy, self-denying, ⁹ holding firmly the faithful word taught, that he may be able both to exhort with sound instruction and to convince those who contradict.

⁴ Every one that commits sin commits also wickedness, and sin is wickedness. ⁵ And we know that he was manifested to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. ⁶ No one that continues in him sins; no one that sins has seen him, or known him. ^{7 (1:11)} Little children, let no one deceive you. He that does righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous; ⁸ he that commits sin is of the devil, for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this was the Son of God manifested, to destroy the works of the devil. ⁹ No one that has been born of God commits sin, for his seed continues in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. ¹⁰ By this are the children of God manifest, and the children of the devil; no one that does not righteousness is of God, and no one that loves not his brother.

¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, impurity, lewdness, ²⁰ idolatry, magic, enmities, strife, envy, anger, contentions, dissensions, heresies, ²¹ murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. ²⁴ And the [subjects] of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires. ²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelries and drinking, not in lewdness and excesses, not in strife and envy; ¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for desires of the flesh.

¹⁹ Know you not that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit in you which you have from God, and you are not your own? ²⁰ For you are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess, but be filled with the spirit,

^{1 (2:7)} Christ therefore having suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, ² that you may no longer live the rest of your time in the flesh according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God. ³ For the time past is sufficient for us to have performed the will of the gentiles, walking in lewdness, inordinate desires, drunkenness, revellings, drinkings and unlawful idolatries, ⁴ in which they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excessive intemperance, blaspheming, ⁵ who shall give an account to him that is ready to judge the living and dead. ⁶ And for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the Spirit.

^{1 (1:4)} Speak things which become sound teaching. ² That the aged men be sober, grave, of sound mind, sound in faith, in love, in patience; ³ that the aged women, in like manner, be of behavior becoming holiness, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good, ⁴ that they may instruct the young women to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children, ⁵ sober, pure, fond of home, kind, subject to their husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. ^{6 (1:5)} In like manner exhort the younger to be of a sound mind, ⁷ presenting yourself as an example of good works in all things, in teaching [exhibiting] integrity, gravity, ⁸ sound argument not to be condemned, that the adversary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of us.

^{8 (3:4)} Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour;
