²⁰ and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, whether the things on the earth, or the things in the heavens. ²¹ And you also, being in time past alienated, and enemies in your mind in wicked works, yet now has he reconciled ²² in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and blameless and unaccused before him; ²³ if indeed ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye heard, which was preached in the whole creation which is under heaven; of which I Paul was made a minister.

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.

³⁵ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

⁴⁴ And he said to them: These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and psalms, concerning me.

³⁵ If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture can not be broken,

³⁸ that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Lord, who believed our report, And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed? ³⁹ Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 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.

¹⁹ as that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

⁷ By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham when called obeyed, to go forth into a place which he should afterward receive for an inheritance, and went forth, not knowing whither he went.

²⁴ By faith Moses, when grown up, refused to be called son of a daughter of Pharaoh; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked for the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he has kept the passover, and the affusion of the blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land; which the Egyptians attempting were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after they had been encompassed during seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who believed not, after having received the spies with peace.

²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made complete. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled which says: Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness; and he was called, Friend of God. ²⁴ Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. ²⁵ And in like manner, was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out by another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins.

²⁹ Because whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren.
