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. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

²⁵ And disagreeing among themselves, they departed, after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, ²⁶ saying: Go to this people, and say; With the hearing ye will hear, and will not understand, And seeing ye will see, and will not perceive. ²⁷ For the heart of this people is become gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And turn, and I shall heal them. ²⁸ Be it known to you, therefore, that to the Gentiles the salvation of God was sent; they, moreover, will hear.

²⁹ And as Isaiah has said before: Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, And been made like to Gomorrah. ³⁰ What then shall we say? That Gentiles, who were not following after righteousness, obtained righteousness, the righteousness which is of faith; ³¹ but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, attained not to [such] a law. 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.

⁸ According as it is written: God gave them a spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day. ⁹ And David says: Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, And a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them; ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow down their back alway. ¹¹ I say then, did they stumble in order that they should fall? Far be it! But by their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

² of those who speak lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

³ And I will give [power] to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

⁴⁷ And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and prepared not, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes; ⁴⁸ but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For to whomsoever much was given, of him much will be required; and to whom they committed much, of him they will require the more.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no cloak for their sin. 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. ²⁵ But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law: They hated me without a cause.

¹ WHEREFORE thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

²⁷ And shall not the uncircumcision that is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of law?

¹³ And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali;

²⁸ And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

²³ And thou, Capernaum, that wast exalted to heaven, shalt go down to the underworld. For if the miracles, that were done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

¹ WHEN he completed all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. ² And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and about to die.

²⁸ There will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.

²³ and in the underworld, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

⁴ For if God spared not angels, having sinned, but casting them down to hell delivered them over to chains of darkness, reserved unto judgment;

⁵ And whoever shall receive one such little child, in my name, receives me.

³⁷ Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receives me and whoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him who sent me.

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.

⁴⁴ And Jesus cried and said: He that believes on me, believes not on me but on him who sent me.

⁴⁸ He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him. The word that I spokes that shall judge him in the last day.

⁴ While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, but to God.

⁸ Therefore he that rejects, rejects not man, but God, who also gave to you his Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ And these signs shall accompany those who have believed; in my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;

¹ AFTER these things the Lord appointed also seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face, into every city and place, whither he himself was about to come.

²⁰ And the God of peace will shortly bruise Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him: Get thee hence, Satan; for it is written: Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

¹¹ of judgment, in that the prince of this world has been judged.

¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner took part in the same; that through death he might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil;

⁸ He that commits sin is of the Devil; because the Devil sins from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil.

¹ AND the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fallen out of heaven to the earth, and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

⁷ And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting with the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his angels, ⁸ and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, who leads astray the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

² And he laid hold of the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

¹⁸ they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them, they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

¹⁷ And ye will be hated by all for my name's sake. ¹⁸ And there shall not a hair of your head perish.

⁵ He, however, shaking off the animal into the fire, suffered no harm.

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who shall be against us? ³² He who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things? ³³ Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's chosen? God is he that justifies; ³⁴ who is he that condemns? Christ is he that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ As it is written: For, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for slaughter. ³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present nor things to come, ³⁹ neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁵ Let your disposition be without covetousness, and be content with what ye have; for he has said: I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. ⁶ So that we boldly say: The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear; What shall man do to me?

⁵ And if any one desires to hurt them, fire goes forth out of their mouth, and devours their enemies; and if any one desires to hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

²² Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in thy name, and in thy name cast out demons, and in thy name do many miracles? ²³ And then will I profess to them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye who work iniquity.

¹ AND calling to him his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and to heal every sickness and every infirmity.

²⁴ The Son of man goes indeed, as it is written of him; but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him, if that man had not been born.

⁵ And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

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.

³ Yea, I entreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, help these women, who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

²³ to the general assembly and church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just ones made perfect;

⁵ He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white garments; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, and I will acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his angels.

⁸ And all who dwell upon the earth will worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which is slain, from the foundation of the world.

¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. And books were opened; and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life; and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books, according to their works.

¹⁵ And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

²⁷ And there shall not enter into it any thing unclean, or that works abomination or falsehood; but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

²⁵ At that time Jesus answered and said: I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, and reveal them to babes; ²⁶ yea, O Father, that so it seemed good in thy sight! 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.

¹¹ And he answering said to them: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it is not given. ¹² For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever has not, even what he has shall be taken from him. ¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor understand. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says: With the hearing ye will hear, and will not understand; And seeing ye will see, and will not perceive. ¹⁵ For the heart of this people is become gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And turn, and I shall heal them. ¹⁶ But happy are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said to him: Happy art thou, Simon Bar-jonah; for flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

¹⁶ and said to him: Dost thou hear what these say? And Jesus says to them: Yea; did ye never read: From the mouth of babes and sucklings thou preparedst praise?

¹⁵ Verily I say to you, whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter therein.

⁵ And having found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

⁹ And having found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying: Rejoice with me; because I found the piece which I lost.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes upward, and said: Father, I thank thee that thou didst hear 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. ²⁵ Righteous Father! And the world knew thee not! But I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me; ²⁶ and I made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.

⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ But I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be made complete in the same mind, and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it was made known to me concerning you, my brethren; by those of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² And I mean this, that each of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye immersed in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ that no one may say that I immersed in my own name. ¹⁶ And I immersed also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I immersed any other. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to immerse, but to preach the glad tidings; not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And will bring to nothing the prudence of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Did not God make foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe; ²² since Jews require signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom, ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling-block, and to Gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For see your calling, brethren, that not many are wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame the wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things which are strong; ²⁸ and the base things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, and the things which are not, that he might bring to naught things that are; ²⁹ that no flesh should glory before God.

⁶ But we speak wisdom among those who are perfect; but a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who come to naught. ⁷ But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the worlds unto our glory; ⁸ which no one of the rulers of this world has known; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself. If any one seems to be wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: He that takes the wise in their craftiness. ²⁰ And again: The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, That they are vain.

³ But if our gospel is vailed, it is vailed in those who perish;

⁵ having predestined us unto the adoption of sons by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

¹¹ in him, in whom we obtained also the inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will,

² that their hearts might be encouraged, they being knit together in love, and unto all the riches of the full assurance of the understanding, unto the full knowledge of the mystery of God, even Christ; ³ in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.

¹ LAYING aside therefore all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all backbitings, ² as newborn babes, long for the spiritual, unadulterated milk, that ye thereby may grow unto salvation;

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.

¹⁸ And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All power was given to me in heaven and on earth.

¹⁸ No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he declared him.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

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. ²⁷ And he gave him authority to execute judgment also, because he is a son of man.

⁴⁴ No one can come to me, except the Father who sent me draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father, and has learned, comes to me. ⁴⁶ Not that any one has seen the Father, save he who is from God; he has seen the Father.

¹⁵ as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

³ knowing that the Father has given all things into his hands, and that he came out from God, and is going to God,

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.

⁵ And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

¹⁰ And all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

²⁶ and I made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.

²⁴ Then comes the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to God, the Father; when he shall have done away all rule, and all authority and power.

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.

²¹ far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come;

⁹ Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name; ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings in heaven, and of beings on earth, and of beings under the earth, ¹¹ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

⁸ Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us understanding, that we may know the True one; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

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.

¹⁶ But happy are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. ¹⁷ For verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what ye are beholding, and did not see, and to hear what ye are hearing, and did not hear.

⁵⁶ Abraham, your father, rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.

¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and professed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

³⁹ And all these, having obtained a good report through faith, did not receive the promise;

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets diligently sought and searched, who prophesied of the grace toward you; ¹¹ searching as to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when it testified beforehand the sufferings destined for Christ, and the glories that should follow; ¹² to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they were ministering them, which now have been announced to you, through those who brought you the good news by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

¹⁶ And, behold, one came to him and said: Teacher, what good shall I do, that I may have eternal life? ¹⁷ And, he said to him: Why dost thou ask me concerning good? One is the Good. But if thou desirest to enter into life, keep the commandments. ¹⁸ He says to him, Which? Jesus said: Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness; ¹⁹ Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

³⁴ And the Pharisees, hearing that he had put the Sadducees to silence, collected together; ³⁵ and one of them, a lawyer, asked, tempting him and saying: ³⁶ Teacher, what commandment is great in the law? 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.

³⁰ But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God toward themselves, not having been immersed by him.

⁴⁵ And a certain one of the lawyers answering says to him: Teacher, in saying these things thou reproachest us also. ⁴⁶ And he said: Woe to you lawyers also! because ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

¹⁸ And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

³⁰ and having brought them out, he said: Sirs, what must I do to be saved? ³¹ And they said: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

¹⁸ For if the inheritance is of law, it is no more of promise; but God has freely given it to Abraham by promise. ¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

¹⁴ For if they that are of law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect. ¹⁵ For the law works wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there transgression. ¹⁶ For this cause it is of faith, that it may be by grace; in order that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

⁵ For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law: The man that has done them, shall live by them.

¹² Now the law is not of faith; but, he that has done them shall live in them. ¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; because it is written: Cursed is every one that is hanged on a tree;

²¹ Is then the law against the promises of God? Far be it! For if a law had been given which is able to make alive, truly righteousness would have been of law. ²² But the Scripture shut up all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

¹⁹ Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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;

⁸ If indeed ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well.

¹⁸ Little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

¹⁷ And, he said to him: Why dost thou ask me concerning good? One is the Good. But if thou desirest to enter into life, keep the commandments.

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.

⁴³ Simon answering said: I suppose he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou didst rightly judge.

⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness, to every one that believes.

¹² Now the law is not of faith; but, he that has done them shall live in them.

⁴³ Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and shalt hate thine enemy. ⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you;

³⁶ Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?

¹⁵ And he said to them: Ye are they who justify themselves before men; but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination before God.

⁹ And he spoke this parable to some who trust in themselves that they are righteous, and despise others. ¹⁰ Two men went up into the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. ¹¹ The Pharisee stood, and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

² For if Abraham was justified by works, he has ground of boasting; but not before God.

³ For not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit themselves to the righteousness of God.

¹¹ And that in the law no one is justified with God, is evident; because, the just shall live by faith.

²⁴ Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

³¹ And taking with him the twelve, he said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things written by the prophets for the Son of man shall be accomplished.

²⁸ And having spoken these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.

¹³ For the judgment shall be without mercy, to him that showed no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment. ¹⁴ What does it profit, my brethren, if any one say that he has faith, and have not works? Can the faith save him? ¹⁵ But if a brother or a sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and one of you say to them: Depart in peace, be warmed, and be filled, but ye give them not the things needful for the body, what does it profit?

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? ¹⁸ Little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

¹⁷ But having all seized upon Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, they beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.

² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying: Go not into the way to the Gentiles, and into a city of Samaritans enter not.

³³ Shouldest not thou also have had pity on thy fellow-servant, as I too had pity on thee?

⁵² And he sent messengers before his face; and they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. ⁵³ And they did not receive him, because his face was directed toward Jerusalem.

¹⁶ and fell down on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him; and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answering said: Were not the ten cleansed? And where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were none found returning to give glory to God, except this stranger?

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore says to him: How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, being a Samaritan woman? For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said to him: Say we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

⁴³ Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and shalt hate thine enemy. ⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you; ⁴⁵ that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

⁸ She did what she could; she beforehand anointed my body for the preparation for burial.

⁷ And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swathing bands, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

²⁰ Therefore, If thy enemy hungers, feed him; If he thirsts, give him drink. For, in doing this, Thou wilt heap coals of fire on his head.

¹⁵ See that none render evil for evil to any one but ever follow that which is good, both toward one another, and toward all.

² And having agreed with the laborers for a denáry a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

¹³ But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.

²³ Gaius my host, and of the whole church, salutes you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city salutes you, and Quartus the brother.

²⁵ He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying: What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take customs, or tribute? Of their sons, or of strangers?

²⁸ But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said: Son, go work to-day in the vineyard. ²⁹ And he answering said: I will not; but afterward he repented, and went. ³⁰ And he came to the other, and said likewise. And he answering said: I will, sir; and went not. 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.

⁴² saying: What think ye concerning the Christ? Of whom is he the son? They say to him: Of David.

⁴² And they having nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore, tell me, will love him most?

²⁸ even as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye pay tithe of the mint and the dill and the cumin, and omitted the weightier things of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith; these ought ye to have done, and not leave those undone.

³² For if ye love those who love you, what thanks have ye? For even the sinners love those who love them. ³³ And if ye do good to those who do good to you, what thanks have ye? For even the sinners do the same. ³⁴ And if ye lend to those of whom ye hope to receive, what thanks have ye? And sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive as much in return. ³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the unthankful and evil. ³⁶ Be ye merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

¹⁵ For I gave you an example, that as I did to you, ye also should do. ¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor one that is sent greater than he who sent him. ¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

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.

¹⁸ that ye may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God.

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.

⁹ But we behold him, who was made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, in order that he by the grace of God might taste death for every one. ¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. ¹¹ For both he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying: I will declare thy name to my brethren; In the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to thee. ¹³ And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold, I and the children whom God gave me. ¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner took part in the same; that through death he might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil; ¹⁵ and might deliver those who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

²¹ For to this ye were called; because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps;

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. ²⁴ And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abides in us, from the Spirit which he gave us.

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

² and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called the Magdalene, from whom had gone out seven demons, ³ and Joanna wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to them of their substance.

¹ Now a certain one was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, from the village of Mary and Martha her sister. ² It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ The sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. ⁴ And Jesus hearing it, said: This sickness is not for death, but for the sake of the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

¹⁹ And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰ Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus is coming, went and met him; but Mary sat in the house.

¹ THEREFORE Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom Jesus raised from the dead. ² They therefore made him a supper there, and Martha served; and Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him. ³ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

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;

⁴⁶ And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

³⁵ And they went out to see what was done. And they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

¹ Now a certain one was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, from the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

³ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

³ And he says: I am a Jew, born indeed in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, taught at the feet of Gamaliel, according to the strictness of the law of the fathers, being zealous for God, as ye all are this day.

³² But I would have you without cares. He that is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; ³³ but he that is married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife. ³⁴ There is a difference also between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband. ³⁵ And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. ³⁶ But if any one thinks that he behaves himself unseemly toward his virgin, if she be past the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sins not; let them marry. ³⁷ But he that stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has determined this in his heart that he will keep his virgin, does well. ³⁸ So that both he that gives her in marriage does well, and he that gives her not in marriage does better. ³⁹ A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment; and I too think that I have the Spirit of God.

¹⁵ And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: The place is desert, and the time is already passed away; dismiss the multitudes, that they may go away into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

²² And Peter taking him aside began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord; this shall not be to thee.

²¹ And hearing of it, his kinsmen went out to lay hold of him; for they said: He is beside himself.

⁵⁵ And he turned, and rebuked them, and said: Ye know not of what spirit ye are.

²⁹ And ye, seek not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, and be not of a doubtful mind.

²⁷ Work not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man will give to you; for him the Father, God, has sealed,

²⁵ For this cause I say to you, take not thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment? ²⁶ Behold the birds of the air, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not much better than they? ²⁷ And which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature? ²⁸ And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, nor spin; ²⁹ and I say to you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ³⁰ And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more you, ye of little faith? ³¹ Take not thought therefore, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewith shall we be clothed? ³² For after all these do the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these shall be added to you. ³⁴ Take not thought, therefore, for the morrow; for the morrow will take thought for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

¹⁹ and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

¹⁴ And that which fell among the thorns, these are they who have heard, and going forth are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

²² And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, take not thought for the life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.

³⁴ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come upon you unawares.

³² But I would have you without cares. He that is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; ³³ but he that is married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife. ³⁴ There is a difference also between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband. ³⁵ And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

⁶ Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

³⁶ For what will it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

¹⁸ Take heed therefore how ye hear. For whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even what he seems to have shall be taken from him.

²⁰ But God said to him: Fool! this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall those things be, which thou didst provide?

³³ Sell what ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves purses that wax not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where a thief approaches not, nor moth corrupts.

² And having called him, he said to him: What is this that I hear of thee? Give account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.

²⁵ But Abraham said: Child, remember that in thy lifetime thou receivedst thy good things in full, and Lazarus in like manner his evil things; but now here, he is comforted and thou art tormented.

²² And Jesus hearing it said to him: Yet lackest thou one thing; sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

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.

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.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; ²⁸ and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand.

³ And this is the eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou didst send.

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.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith working by love.

¹⁰ And ye are made complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power; ¹¹ in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; ¹² being buried with him in the immersion, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. ¹³ And you also, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made alive together with him, graciously forgiving us all our trespasses; ¹⁴ blotting out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was opposed to us, and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross; ¹⁵ despoiling principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. ¹⁶ Let not any one therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a feast-day, or of a new-moon, or of a sabbath; ¹⁷ which are a shadow of the things to come, but the body is of 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, ¹⁹ and not holding fast the head, from whom all the body, by means of the joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and being knit together, increases with the increase of God.

³ For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then will ye also with him be manifested in glory.

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.

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.
