1 John 2 Cross References - ABU

¹ MY little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And if any one have sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. ² And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. ³ And in this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵ But whoever keeps his word, of a truth in him the love of God is perfected. In this we know that we are in him. ⁶ He that says he abides in him ought, as he walked, himself also so to walk. ⁷ Beloved, I write not to you a new commandment, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard from the beginning. ⁸ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shines. ⁹ He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now. ¹⁰ He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. ¹¹ But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness blinded his eyes. ¹² I write to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for his name's sake. ¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I wrote to you, little children, because ye know the Father. ¹⁴ I wrote to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the evil one. ¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ Because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the empty pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof; but he that does the will of God abides forever. ¹⁸ Little children, it is the last time; and as ye heard that antichrist should come, even now many antichrists have arisen; from whence we know that it is the last time. ¹⁹ They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but it was in order that they might be made manifest, that all are not of us. ²⁰ And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and know all things. ²¹ I wrote not to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth. ²² Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son. ²³ Every one that denies the Son, the same has not the Father; he that acknowledges the Son has also the Father. ²⁴ What ye heard from the beginning, let it abide in you. If what ye heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also will abide in the Son, and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is the promise which he himself promised to us, the life eternal. ²⁶ These things I wrote to you concerning those who seduce you. ²⁷ And the anointing which ye received from him abides in you, and ye have no need that any one teach you; but, as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is truth, and is not a lie, and even as it taught you, abide in him. ²⁸ And now, little children, abide in him; that, if he should be manifested, we may have confidence, and not turn away from him with shame at his coming. ²⁹ If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that does righteousness has been begotten of him.

¹⁹ Jesus therefore, answered and said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do; for what things soever he does, these also does the Son in like manner. ²⁰ For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does; and greater works than these will he show him, that ye may marvel. ²¹ For as the Father raises up the dead, and quickens them; so also the Son quickens whom he will. ²² For neither does the Father judge any one; but all judgment he has given to the Son; ²³ that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say to you, he that hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has everlasting life, and comes not into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily, I say to you, an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so he gave also to the Son to have life in himself.

²⁴ but he, because he remains forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. ²⁵ Whence also he is able to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever lives to intercede for them. ²⁶ For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

²² who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;

⁴³ Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and shalt hate thine enemy.

³⁷ Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ³⁸ This is the great and first commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self. ⁴⁰ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

²⁹ And Jesus answered him: First is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord is our God, the Lord is one; ³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment. ³¹ Second is this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. ³² And the scribe said to him: Well, Teacher; thou saidst truly that he is one, and there is no other beside him; ³³ and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all the whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices. ³⁴ And Jesus, seeing that he answered intelligently, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared any longer to question him.

¹⁹ And taking hold of him, they brought him upon Mars' Hill, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest?

⁸ Owe no one anything, but to love one another; for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. ⁹ For this: Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰ Love works no ill to one's neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

¹³ For ye were called unto liberty, brethren; only use not the liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. ¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

⁸ If indeed ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well. ⁹ But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. ¹⁰ For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. ¹¹ For he who said: Do not commit adultery, said also: Do not kill. Now if thou commit not adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. ¹² So speak, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

²⁴ What ye heard from the beginning, let it abide in you. If what ye heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also will abide in the Son, and in the Father.

¹¹ because this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another

²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and should love one another, as he gave us commandment.

⁵ And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we walk according to his commandment; and this is the commandment, as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.

¹⁶ The people that sat in darkness, saw great light, And to those sitting in the region and shadow of death light sprang up.

⁷⁹ to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, in order to guide our feet into the way of peace.

⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

⁹ There was the true light, which lights every man that comes into the world.

¹² Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.

³⁵ Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he that walks in the darkness knows not whither he goes.

⁴⁶ I have come a light into the world, that whoever believes on me may not abide in the darkness.

³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; as I loved you, that ye also love one another.

¹² This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. ¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants; because the servant knows not what his lord does. But I have called you friends because all things that I heard from my Father I made known to you.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now, commands all men everywhere to repent.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may obtain forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among the sanctified, by faith in me.

¹² The night is far advanced, the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

⁴ in whom the god of this world blinded the understandings of the unbelieving, that they should not discern the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord; and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. ⁶ Because it is God, who commands light to shine out of darkness; who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

¹ BECOME therefore followers of God, as beloved children ² and walk in love, as also Christ loved us, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet smell.

⁸ For ye were once darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,—

⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief. ⁵ For all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness. ⁶ So then let us not sleep, as others; but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunken, are drunken in the night. ⁸ But let us, being of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation;

¹⁰ but now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ; who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel;

²¹ who through him believe on God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are on God.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death. ¹⁵ Every one that hates his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. ¹⁶ In this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

²¹ And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God love also his brother.

⁴¹ Jesus said to them: If ye were blind, ye would not have sin. But now ye say: We see. Your sin remains!

¹⁸ and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; ¹⁹ and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law; ²¹ thou then, that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? Thou that preachest, a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

¹ THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. ² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. ³ And though I bestow all my goods in food, and though I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.

⁹ But he that lacks these things is blind, not seeing afar off, having forgotten the cleansing away of his old sins.

¹¹ But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness blinded his eyes.

¹³ Wonder not, brethren, if the world hates you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death. ¹⁵ Every one that hates his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. ¹⁶ In this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷ But whoever has the world's sustenance, and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his pity from him, how abides the love of God in him?

²¹ and has not root in himself, but is only for a time; and when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he is offended.

⁷ Woe to the world, for causes of offense! For it must needs be that causes of offense come; but woe to that man, through whom the cause of offense comes!

¹ AND he said to his disciples: It is impossible that causes of offense should not come; but woe to him through whom they come! ² It were better for him that a mill stone were placed about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to offend.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who have believed him: If ye continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples;

³² Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as being by works of law. For they stumbled against the stone of stumbling; ³³ as it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and he that believes on him shall not be put to shame.

¹³ Let us therefore no longer judge one another; but judge this rather, not to put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall, in a brother's way.

¹⁰ in order that ye may approve the things that are most excellent, that ye may be pure and without offense unto the day of Christ;

¹⁰ Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.

⁴⁰ He has blinded their eyes, And has hardened their heart; That they should not see with their eyes, And understand with their heart, And turn, and I should heal them.

¹⁴ But their understandings were hardened; for until this day the same vail on the reading of the old covenant remains, not being taken away; which vail is done away in Christ.

⁴ in whom the god of this world blinded the understandings of the unbelieving, that they should not discern the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

³ For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, going astray, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

¹⁷ Because thou sayest: I am rich, and have gotten wealth, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art the wretched and the pitiable one, and poor, and blind, and naked;

²⁰ And seeing their faith he said: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

⁴⁷ Wherefore I say to thee, her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little. ⁴⁸ And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven. ⁴⁹ And they who reclined with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that also forgives sins? ⁵⁰ And he said to the woman: Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

¹² And there is salvation in no other; for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, in which we must be saved.

⁴³ To him all the prophets bear witness, that through his name every one who believes on him shall receive remission of sins.

³⁸ Be it known to you therefore, men, brethren, that remission of sins through this man is announced to you;

⁶ As also David speaks of the happiness of the man, to whom God reckons righteousness, apart from works: ⁷ Happy they, whose iniquities were forgiven, And whose sins were covered;

⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

³² and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as also God in Christ forgave you.

¹⁴ in whom we have the redemption, the remission of our sins;

⁴ And these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, that he may forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹ MY little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And if any one have sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

⁷ Beloved, I write not to you a new commandment, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard from the beginning.

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I wrote to you, little children, because ye know the Father. ¹⁴ I wrote to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.

²¹ I wrote not to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

²⁷ All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son but the Father; nor does any one know the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.

¹⁹ When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands not, then comes the evil one and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the way-side.

³⁸ The field is the world. The good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the darnel are the sons of the evil one,

¹⁹ They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

⁵⁴ Jesus answered: If I honor myself, my honor is nothing. It is my Father that honors me, of whom ye say, that he is your God. ⁵⁵ And ye know him not; but I know him. And if I say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like to you. But I know him, and I keep his word.

⁷ If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also; and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

⁹ Jesus says to him: Am I so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou: Show us the Father?

³ And these things they will do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

²¹ that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me and I in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that thou didst send me.

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. ¹² For to us, the contest is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places.

¹ REBUKE not an elder, but entreat him as a father; younger men as brethren;

⁶ The younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded.

⁸ Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour; ⁹ whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

¹ THAT which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we looked upon, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life;

¹² I write to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for his name's sake.

¹⁴ I wrote to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.

¹² Not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

⁴ because all that is begotten of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

¹⁸ We know that every one who has been begotten of God sins not; but he that was begotten of God keeps himself; and the evil one touches him not.

³⁸ And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever ye will, and it shall be done to you.

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

¹³ I can do all things, in him who strengthens me.

¹¹ being strengthened with all strength, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to God.

¹ THOU therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will establish for the house of Israel, After those days, saith the Lord, Putting my laws into their mind, And on their hearts I will write them; And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people;

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I wrote to you, little children, because ye know the Father.

² for the sake of the truth, which abides in us, and will be with us forever: ³ For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bore witness to thy truth, as thou walkest in the truth.

³ and thou hast patience, and didst bear for my name's sake, and hast not been weary.

⁷ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him that overcomes, to him I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

²⁴ No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. Ye can not serve God and Mammon.

¹³ No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye can not serve God and Mammon.

¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this the world hates you.

² And be not conformed to this world; but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may discern what is the will of God, the good, and well pleasing, and perfect.

¹⁰ For do I now seek the favor of men or of God? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be Christ's servant.

² in which ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience;

¹ IF then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, sitting on the right hand of God. ² Set your mind on the things above, not on the things upon the earth.

¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evils; which some coveting after wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

⁴ Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore desires to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

¹⁷ But whoever has the world's sustenance, and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his pity from him, how abides the love of God in him?

⁵ They are of the world; for this cause they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

¹⁰ He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that believes not God has made him a liar; because he has not believed in the witness which God has borne concerning his Son.

⁸ Again the Devil takes him into an exceedingly high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

²⁸ But I say to you, that every one who looks on a woman, to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

⁵ And the Devil, leading him up into a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

⁶ Now these things were examples to us, in order that we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

¹⁷ For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other, that ye may not do those things that ye would.

²⁴ And they that are Christ's crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

³ among whom we also all walked in time past in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others;—

¹² teaching us that, having denied ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

¹⁵ This wisdom is not one that comes down from above, but earthly, sensual, devilish.

¹⁴ as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts in your ignorance;

¹¹ Beloved, I exhort you as sojourners and strangers, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

¹⁰ but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise dominion. Presumptuous, self-willed, they are not afraid to rail at dignities;

¹⁸ For, speaking swelling words of vanity, in lusts of the flesh they allure, by wanton ways, such as partly escape those who live in error;

¹⁶ These are murmurers, complaining of their lot, walking according to their lusts; and their mouth speaks swelling words; having respect to persons, for the sake of profit. ¹⁷ But ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; ¹⁸ that they told you, that at the last of the time there will be scoffers, walking after their own lusts of ungodliness.

¹¹ And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their lading any more; ¹² the lading of gold, and of silver, and of precious stones, and of pearls, and of fine linen, and of purple, and of silk, and of scarlet; and all citron wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and of brass, and of iron and of marble, ¹³ and cinnamon, and amomum, and odors, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and [lading] of horses, and of chariots, and of slaves; and souls of men. ¹⁴ And the fruit that thy soul desired departed from thee, and all the dainty and goodly things perished from thee, and thou shalt no more find them. ¹⁵ The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, ¹⁶ saying: Alas, alas, the great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls; ¹⁷ because in one hour so great riches are made desolate. And every pilot, and every one that sails to any place, and seamen, and as many as do business at sea, stood afar off,

²¹ Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

³¹ Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him: The first. Jesus says to them: Verily I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

³⁵ Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away.

³⁵ For whoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

¹⁴ But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.

⁵⁸ This is the bread that came down out of heaven. Not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead; he that eats of this bread shall live forever.

¹⁷ If any one desires to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

²⁸ and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one.

³¹ and they that use this world, as not abusing it; for the fashion of this world is passing away.

⁹ For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

¹² Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

³ For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;

¹⁸ In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus, toward you.

³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that having done the will of God ye may receive the promise.

¹⁰ but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away. ¹¹ For the sun rose with the burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell off, and the grace of its fashion perished; so also will the rich man fade away in his ways.

¹⁴ (whereas ye know not what belongs to the morrow; for what is your life? for ye are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away;)

⁵ who by the power of God are kept through faith, unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

²⁴ Because, All flesh is as grass, And all its glory as the flower of grass. The grass withered, and its flower fell off; ²⁵ But the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word which was preached to you.

² that ye no longer may live the remaining time in the flesh by the lusts of men, but by the will of God.

⁵ For many will come in my name, saying: I am the Christ; and will lead astray many.

¹¹ And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.

²⁴ For there will arise false Christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders; so as, if possible, to lead even the chosen astray.

⁶ For many will come in my name, saying: I am he; and will lead many astray.

²¹ And then if any one say to you: Lo, here is the Christ, or Lo, there, believe not. ²² For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, so as to lead, if possible, even the chosen astray.

²⁹ For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. ³⁰ And from among yourselves will men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

³ Let not any one deceive you in any manner; because [that day will not come], except there come first the falling away, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ⁴ he that opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. ⁵ Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? ⁶ And now ye know what withholds, in order that he may be revealed in his own time. ⁷ For the mystery of iniquity is already working; only until he who now withholds shall be out of the way. ⁸ And then will the Lawless One be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth, and will destroy with the manifestation of his coming; ⁹ [him,] whose coming is after the working of Satan, in all power and signs and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and in all deceit of unrighteousness for those who perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this cause God sends them a working of delusion, in order that they may believe the lie; ¹² that they may all be judged, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹ NOW the Spirit says expressly, that in after-times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and teachings of demons; ² of those who speak lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron; ³ forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from food, which God created to be received with thanksgiving, for those who believe and know the truth.

¹ BUT know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. ² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³ without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, without love to the good, ⁴ betrayers, headlong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; ⁵ having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; and from these turn away. ⁶ For of these are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

³ For the time will come when they will not endure the sound teaching, but according to their own desires will to themselves heap up teachers, having itching ears; ⁴ and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to fables.

² in these last days spoke to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds;

²⁰ who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,

¹ BUT there were false prophets also among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who stealthily will bring in destructive factions, even denying as Master him who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

³ knowing this first, that there shall come in the last of the days scoffers, in their scoffings, walking after their own lusts,

²² Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

¹ BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

³ Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God; and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that of the antichrist, of which ye have heard that it should come; and now, it is already in the world.

⁷ Because many deceivers went out into the world, who acknowledge not that Jesus Christ comes in the flesh. This is the deceiver, and the antichrist.

¹⁸ that they told you, that at the last of the time there will be scoffers, walking after their own lusts of ungodliness.

²⁰ And that sown on the rocky places, this is he that hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it; ²¹ and has not root in himself, but is only for a time; and when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he is offended.

⁵ And another fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had not depth of earth. ⁶ But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had not root, it withered away.

¹⁶ And these are they likewise that are sown on the rocky places; who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; ¹⁷ and have no root in themselves, but are only for a time. Afterward, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they are offended.

²² For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, so as to lead, if possible, even the chosen astray.

¹³ Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, with joy receive the word; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

³⁷ All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him that comes to me I will not cast out. ³⁸ Because I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. ³⁹ And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

² Every branch in me that bears not fruit, he takes it away; and every one that bears fruit, he cleanses it, that it may bear more fruit.

²⁴ Forasmuch as we heard, that some who went out from us troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying that ye must be circumcised and keep the law, to whom we gave no commandment;

³⁰ And from among yourselves will men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

⁶ Not as though the word of God has failed. For not all they are Israel, who are of Israel;

⁵ Even so then, at this present time also, there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ⁶ And if by grace, it is no longer of works; otherwise, grace becomes no longer grace. Ancient copies omit the words in brackets. [But if of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise, work is no longer work.]

¹⁹ For there must be also sects among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.

¹⁰ For this cause, I endure all things for the sake of the chosen, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

¹⁹ Nevertheless, God's firm foundation stands, having this seal: The Lord knew those who are his; and, Let every one that names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.

⁹ But they shall proceed no further; for their folly shall be fully manifest to all, as was also theirs.

³⁹ But we are not of those who draw back unto perdition; but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

² chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you. ³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy begot us again unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead; ⁴ unto an inheritance imperishable, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, ⁵ who by the power of God are kept through faith, unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

²⁰ For if, having escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christy but having again become entangled therein they are overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. ²¹ For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

¹ JUDE, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept by Jesus Christ:

¹⁹ These are they who separate; sensual, having not the Spirit.

²⁴ saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene! Didst thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; Because he anointed me to publish good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to proclaim deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To send the oppressed away free,

³⁴ saying: Ah! what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Didst thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

⁴ And when he has put forth all his own, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. ⁵ And a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him; because they know not the voice of strangers.

²⁶ But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things which I said to you.

¹³ But when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak from himself, but whatever he shall hear, that will he speak, and he will tell you the things to come.

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy and Just, and demanded that a murderer should be granted to you.

³⁸ how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the Devil; because God was with him.

¹⁵ But he that is spiritual judges all things; but he himself is judged by no one.

²¹ Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God; ²² he who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

⁹ Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, above thy fellows;

¹¹ And they shall not teach, Each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, Saying: Know the Lord; Because all shall know me, from the least to the greatest;

²⁷ And the anointing which ye received from him abides in you, and ye have no need that any one teach you; but, as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is truth, and is not a lie, and even as it taught you, abide in him.

⁷ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy, the True, he who has the key of David, he who opens, and no one shall shut, and shuts, and no one opens.

⁸ And the four animals had each of them six wings apiece; around and within they are full of eyes; and they have no rest by day and by night, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God the Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.

¹⁴ And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. ¹⁵ But I wrote the more boldly to you, brethren, in part as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God;

¹² Wherefore, I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you.

⁵ But I wish to remind you, as once knowing all, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who believed not.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abides not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own; because he is a liar, and the father of it.

² Ye know that ye were Gentiles carried away to the dumb idols, as ye were led. ³ Wherefore I give you to understand, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed; and no one can say, Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁸ Little children, it is the last time; and as ye heard that antichrist should come, even now many antichrists have arisen; from whence we know that it is the last time.

²³ Every one that denies the Son, the same has not the Father; he that acknowledges the Son has also the Father.

⁴ For there crept in stealthily certain men, who of old were appointed beforehand to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into wantonness, and denying the only Master, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ Behold, I make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie, behold, I will make them to come and bow down before thy feet, and to know that I loved thee.

²³ that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.

⁹ Jesus says to him: Am I so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou: Show us the Father? ¹⁰ Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you I speak not of myself; but the Father who dwells in me, he does the works.

²³ He that hates me hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

¹⁵ Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

¹ EVERY one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten of God; and every one that loves him who begot, loves also him that has been begotten of him.

⁹ Every one who transgresses, and abides not in the teaching of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed; ¹¹ for he that bids him good speed shares in his evil deeds.

² as they, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, delivered them to us;

⁴⁴ Do ye let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.

²⁵ Therefore they said to him: Who art thou? And Jesus said to them: That which I also say to you from the beginning.

⁹ As the Father loved me, I also loved you; abide in my love. ¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

²¹ that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me and I in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that thou didst send me. ²² And the glory which thou hast given to me I have given to them, that they may be one, as we are one; ²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them as thou lovedst me. ²⁴ Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me; because thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

¹⁵ And ye also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I went forth from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in an account of giving and receiving, but ye only;

¹ ON this account, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things heard, lest haply we should let them slip.

¹⁴ For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end.

³ that which we have seen and have heard we report to you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ And we have known, and have believed, the love that God has in respect to us. God is love; and he that abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

³ Remember therefore how thou hast received, and didst hear, and keep, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come upon thee.

¹¹ I come quickly; hold fast that which thou hast, that no one may take thy crown.

³⁰ who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

³⁹ Search the Scriptures; because in them ye think ye have eternal life, and these are they that testify of me;

⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes on me has everlasting life.

⁵⁴ He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast words of eternal life.

²⁸ and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand.

⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is everlasting life. What things I speak therefore, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.

² as thou gayest him authority over all flesh, that as many as thou hast given to him, to them he should give eternal life. ³ And this is the eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou didst send.

⁷ to those who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;

²¹ that as sin reigned in death, so also might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life, in Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁸ Because he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

¹⁶ But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Christ Jesus might show forth all his long-suffering, for a pattern to those who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

¹² Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the eternal life, unto which thou wast called, and didst make the good profession before many witnesses.

¹⁹ laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life.

² upon hope of eternal life, which God, who can not lie, promised before eternal ages,

⁷ that, having been justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

² (and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)

¹¹ And this is the witness, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that has the Son has the life; he that has not the Son of God has not the life. ¹³ These things I wrote to you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, who believe on the name of the Son of God.

²¹ keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life.

¹³ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder; for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. ¹⁵ It is no great thing then, if also his ministers transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

⁸ Beware lest there shall be any one that despoils you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

¹⁸ Let no one defraud you of the prize, seeking it in humiliation and worship of the angels, intruding into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

¹ NOW the Spirit says expressly, that in after-times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and teachings of demons;

¹³ But evil men and seducers will grow worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

¹ BUT there were false prophets also among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who stealthily will bring in destructive factions, even denying as Master him who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. ² And many will follow their dissolute ways; by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of. ³ And in covetousness will they with feigned words make merchandise of you; for whom the judgment from of old lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who have believed him: If ye continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples; ³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free.

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world can not receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him; but ye know him, because he abides with you, and shall be in you.

⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch can not bear fruit of itself, if it abide not in the vine, so neither can ye, if ye abide not in me. ⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, the same bears much fruit; because without me ye can do nothing. ⁶ If any one abide not in me, he is cast forth as the branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever ye will, and it shall be done to you.

¹³ Which things also we speak, not in words taught by man's wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

²¹ if indeed ye heard him, and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus;

⁶ As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him;

¹³ For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when ye received the word of God heard from us, ye received not the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you that believe.

⁷ whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle (I speak truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will establish for the house of Israel, After those days, saith the Lord, Putting my laws into their mind, And on their hearts I will write them; And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people; ¹¹ And they shall not teach, Each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, Saying: Know the Lord; Because all shall know me, from the least to the greatest;

²³ being born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the word of God, which lives and abides forever.

¹⁶ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been eye-witnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when such a voice was borne to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased;

²⁰ And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and know all things. ²¹ I wrote not to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

³⁸ For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will also the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

³³ as it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and he that believes on him shall not be put to shame.

⁷ so that ye are behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

²³ But each in his own order; Christ the first-fruits; afterward they who are Christ's at his coming.

⁴ When Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then will ye also with him be manifested in glory.

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not also ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

¹³ to the end he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

²³ And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved whole without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ that thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

¹³ looking for the blissful hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;

²⁸ so also the Christ, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, will to those who look for him appear a second time without sin, unto salvation.

⁷ that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold that perishes, but is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

⁴ And when the chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

⁴ and saying: Where is the promise of his coming? for from the day the fathers fell asleep, all things so continue, from the beginning of the creation. ⁵ For of this they willingly are ignorant, that by the word of God there were heavens of old, and earth framed out of water and by means of water, ⁶ whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished; ⁷ but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by his word are kept in store, being reserved for fire unto the day of judgment and of perdition of ungodly men. ⁸ But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ The Lord is not tardy in respect to the promise, as some account tardiness; but is long-suffering toward us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements will be dissolved with burning heat, and the earth and the works therein will be burned up. ¹¹ Seeing then that all these things are dissolving, what manner of men ought ye to be, in all holy deportment and godliness; ¹² looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with burning heat?

² Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it was never yet manifested what we shall be. We know that if it shall be manifested, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

²¹ Beloved, if our heart accuse us not, we have confidence toward God.

¹⁷ In this has love been perfected with us, that we have confidence in the day of judgment; because as he is, we also are in this world.

¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

⁷ Behold, he comes amidst the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

¹⁶ Ye shall know them from their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? ¹⁷ So every good tree brings forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree can not bring forth evil fruit, nor a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

³ Jesus answered and said to him: Verily, verily, I say to thee, except a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus says to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered: Verily, verily, I say to thee, except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God.

³⁵ but in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to him.

¹⁴ And he said: The God of our fathers appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Just One, and to hear a voice out of his mouth.

¹² teaching us that, having denied ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; ¹³ looking for the blissful hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and cleanse for himself a people to be his own, zealous of good works.

⁸ but of the Son: Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom; ⁹ Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, above thy fellows;

² to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of all; first indeed being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

²⁶ For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

¹⁸ Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy begot us again unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead; ⁴ through which he has given us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust;

⁹ Whoever has been begotten of God does not commit sin; because his seed abides in him; and he can not sin, because he has been begotten of God. ¹⁰ In this are manifest the children of God, and the children of the Devil. Every one that does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother;

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.

⁴ because all that is begotten of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

¹¹ Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He that does good, is of God; he that does evil, has not seen God.
