1 Corinthians 11 Cross References - Anderson

¹ Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. ² Now, I praise you, brethren, because you remember me in all things, and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you. ³ But I wish you to know, that the head of every man is the Christ, and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. ⁴ Every man that prays or prophesies, having his head covered, dishonors his head. ⁵ But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered, dishonors her head: for it is one and the same as if she was shaved. ⁶ For if a woman has no vail on, let her also be shaved. But if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her have a vail. ⁷ For a man ought not to vail his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸ For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man: ⁹ for the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. ¹⁰ For this reason ought the woman to have a token of subjection on her head, on account of the angels. ¹¹ But neither is the woman without the man, nor the: man without the woman, in the Lord. ¹² For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman; but all things are of God. ¹³ Judge in yourselves, whether it is becoming that a woman pray to God unvailed. ¹⁴ Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? ¹⁵ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a vail. ¹⁶ But if any one seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God. ¹⁷ But I praise you not in this, which I now mention, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse. ¹⁸ For, in the first place, when you come together in the church, I hear that there are schisms among you, and I partly believe it: ¹⁹ for there must be sects among you, that the approved may be made known among you. ²⁰ "When, therefore, you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper; ²¹ for each one, in eating, takes before another, his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken. ²² What, have you not houses in which to eat and drink? or do you despise the church of God, and put those to shame who have nothing to eat? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. ²³ For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: That the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was delivered up, took bread; ²⁴ and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said: Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of me. ²⁵ In like manner also, the cup, after he had supped, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. ²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till he come. ²⁷ Wherefore he that eats this bread, or drinks this cup of the Lord, in an improper manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of this bread, and drink of this cup: ²⁹ for he that eats and drinks in an improper manner, eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. ³⁰ For this reason, many among you are weak and sick, and many sleep. ³¹ For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged; ³² but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. ³³ Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one an other:- ³⁴ and if any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that you come not together for condemnation. But other things I will set in order when I come.

³⁴ For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has eternal life. But he that believes not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

²⁰ For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does; and he will show him greater works than these, that you may be astonished. ²¹ For as the Father raises the dead, and makes them alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will. ²² For the Father judges no one, but has given all judicial authority 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 on him that sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear, shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son also to have life in himself; ²⁷ and he has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. ²⁸ Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and shall come forth; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. ³⁰ I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

⁵¹ I am the bread that lives, which came down from heaven. If any one eat of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵³ Then Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you. ⁵⁴ He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood, has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day; ⁵⁵ for my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. ⁵⁶ He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eats me, even he shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread that came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he that eats this bread shall live forever.

And when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And after the morsel was given, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him: What you do, do quickly.

² as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all that thou hast given him. ³ And this is life eternal, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent. ⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. ⁵ And now, Father, glorify me with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the participation of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the participation of the body of the Christ?

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the participation of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the participation of the body of the Christ? ¹⁷ Because the loaf is one, we, the many, are one body, for we are all partakers of the one loaf.

¹⁴ Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

¹⁷ But I praise you not in this, which I now mention, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse.

²⁰ "When, therefore, you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper; ²¹ for each one, in eating, takes before another, his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken. ²² What, have you not houses in which to eat and drink? or do you despise the church of God, and put those to shame who have nothing to eat? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

²² What, have you not houses in which to eat and drink? or do you despise the church of God, and put those to shame who have nothing to eat? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. ²³ For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: That the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was delivered up, took bread; ²⁴ and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said: Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of me.

²⁴ and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said: Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of me. ²⁵ In like manner also, the cup, after he had supped, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

²⁷ Wherefore he that eats this bread, or drinks this cup of the Lord, in an improper manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

²⁷ Wherefore he that eats this bread, or drinks this cup of the Lord, in an improper manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of this bread, and drink of this cup:

³⁰ For this reason, many among you are weak and sick, and many sleep. ³¹ For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged; ³² but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

³² but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. ³³ Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one an other:- ³⁴ and if any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that you come not together for condemnation. But other things I will set in order when I come.

³⁴ and if any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that you come not together for condemnation. But other things I will set in order when I come.

¹⁰ to another, the working of mighty deeds; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, different kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues.

¹² For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ. ¹³ For by one Spirit we all were immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and we all have been made to drink of one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot shall say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body? ¹⁶ And if the ear shall say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? ¹⁸ But now God has placed the members, each of them, in the body, as it has pleased him. ¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where were the body? ²⁰ But now there are many members, but one body. ²¹ The eye can not say to the hand: I have no need of you; or again, the head to the feet: I have no need of you. ²² But much more are those members of the body necessary, which seem to be more feeble.

²⁸ And God has placed some in the church, first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then mighty deeds; then gifts of healing; helps, governments, kinds of tongues.

¹ Cultivate love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy. ² For he that speaks in an unknown tongue, speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands him: but yet in spirit he speaks mysteries. ³ But he that prophesies speaks to men so as to build them up, to exhort and comfort them. ⁴ He that speaks in an unknown tongue, edifies himself; but he that prophesies, edifies the church. ⁵ I am willing, indeed, that you should all speak in tongues, but rather that you should prophesy; for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, in order that the church may receive instruction. ⁶ Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, in what will I profit you, unless I speak to you by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecy, or by teaching? ⁷ And even lifeless instruments, which produce sound, whether pipe or harp, unless they give a distinction in the notes, how shall that which is piped or harped be known? ⁸ For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle? ⁹ So, also, unless you, with the tongue, utter words that are intelligible, how shall that which is spoken be known? for you will speak into the air. ¹⁰ There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without meaning. ¹¹ If, then, I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian; and he that speaks will be a barbarian to me. ¹² So, also, do you, since you greatly desire spiritual gifts, seek to excel to the building up of the church. ¹³ For which reason, let him that speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. ¹⁴ For if I pray in an unknown tongue, the spirit which I have prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. ¹⁵ What, then, is it? I will pray with the spirit which is given to me, and I will pray with my understanding also. I will sing with the spirit that is given to me, and I will sing with my understanding also. ¹⁶ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit that is given to you, how will he that occupies the place of the unlearned man say Amen, when you give thanks, since he understands not what you say? ¹⁷ For you give thanks well, but the other is not edified. ¹⁸ I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all. ¹⁹ Yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. ²⁰ Brethren, be not children in understanding: yet, in malice, be childlike; but, in understanding, be full-grown men. ²¹ In the law it is written: Through men of other tongues and other lips will I speak to this people; and not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord. ²² Therefore, tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to those who believe not: but prophecy is not for those who believe not, but for those who believe. ²³ If, then, the whole church come together into the same place, and all speak in tongues, and there come in unlearned men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are mad?

²³ If, then, the whole church come together into the same place, and all speak in tongues, and there come in unlearned men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are mad? ²⁴ But if all prophesy, and there comes in an unbeliever, or an unlearned man, he is convinced by all, he is examined by all, ²⁵ and the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God, and report that God is really among you. ²⁶ What, then, is it, brethren? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has something to teach, has an unknown tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

³³ for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints. ³⁴ Let your women keep silence in the assemblies; for they ire not permitted to speak; but they must be in subjection, as also says the law.

³⁴ Let your women keep silence in the assemblies; for they ire not permitted to speak; but they must be in subjection, as also says the law. ³⁵ But if they wish to learn any thing,, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in an assembly.

² by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. ³ For I delivered to you among the first things, that which I also received: That Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures;

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, and I am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

²³ but each in his own order; Christ the first-fruit, afterward, those who are Christ's at his coming.

²⁷ For he has put all things under his feet. But when the scripture says, that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him. ²⁸ And when all things shall have been put under him, then, also, shall the Son himself be subjected to him that did put all things under him, that God may be the all in all.

⁵¹ Behold, I declare to you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed

¹ As it respects the collection which is for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so also do you. ² On the first day of the week, let each of you lay by him, and treasure up as he has prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

⁵ Now I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia, for I intend to go through Macedonia;

⁶ who has made us able ministers of the new covenant, not of letter, but. of spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit makes alive.

¹⁴ But their minds were blinded: for till this day, in the reading of the old covenant, the same vail remains not taken away, which vail is removed in Christ.

⁵ Make trial of yourselves, whether you are in the faith; put yourselves to the proof. Do you not know your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you? unless you be without proof.

⁵ Make trial of yourselves, whether you are in the faith; put yourselves to the proof. Do you not know your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you? unless you be without proof. ⁶ But I hope that you will know that we are not without proof. ⁷ Yet I pray to God that you may do no evil; not that we may appear as having proof, but that you may do what is good, though we be as without proof.

¹ PAUL, an apostle, (not from men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,)

¹¹ But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which is preached by me, is not according to man: ¹² for neither did I receive it from man, nor was it taught me, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bondman nor free man, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strifes, jealousies, anger, party-spirit, divisions, sects,

⁴ but let each one prove his own work, and then he will have cause to boast with respect to him self only, and not with respect to another:

²⁰ which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ high above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come; ²² and subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all things for the church, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all his members with all things,

¹⁵ but speaking truthfully in love, we might grow up in all things, into him who is the head, even the Christ,

¹ Be you, therefore, imitators of God, as beloved children; ² and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave him self for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor.

²² Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord: ²³ for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing.

⁴ Consider not each one his own gifts, but each one also the gifts of others. ⁵ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,

⁷ but he divested himself by taking the form of a servant, and being made in the likeness of men: ⁸ and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient even to death, the death, indeed, of the cross. ⁹ For which reason God has highly exalted him, and, also, bestowed on him a name that is above every name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those who are in heaven, and those who are on earth, and those who are under the earth; ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁷ Be imitators of me, brethren, and observe those who thus walk as you have us for an example.

¹⁸ and he is the head of the body, the church: and he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things he might be preeminent;

¹⁰ And you are complete in him who is the head of all principality and authority:

¹⁹ and not holding the head, from which the whole body gathering vigor, and firmly united by joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.

¹⁸ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it is becoming in the Lord.

⁶ And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁴ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea which are in Christ Jesus; for you, also, have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, that they have suffered from the Jews,

⁶ But now, since Timothy has come to us from you, and has told us the good news of your faith and love, and that you have a good remembrance of us at all times, greatly desiring to see us, as indeed we desire to see you,

¹ Finally, then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you, by our Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to walk and please God, you would abound more and more. ² For you know what commandments we gave you by our Lord Jesus.

² For you know what commandments we gave you by our Lord Jesus.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also should we believe that God will, through Jesus, bring with him those who sleep.

¹⁶ for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall arise first;

¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all those who believe, and in you also, because our testimony among you was believed.

² that you be not hastily shaken from the persuasion of your mind, nor be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by report, nor by letter as written by us, as though the day of the Lord is at hand. ³ Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come, unless the apostasy come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

¹⁵ Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

⁶ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother that walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

⁹ this we did, not because we have not authority, but that we might give ourselves to you as an example, in order that you might imitate us.

¹¹ Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. ¹² I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. ¹³ For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

⁵ for if a man knows not how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?

¹⁵ but if I delay, that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

¹ Now the Spirit says expressly, that, in the last times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and teachings suggested by demons, ² through the hypocrisy of liars, who are seared in their conscience,

³ If any one teaches other things, and does not assent to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching which is according to godliness, ⁴ he is mad with conceit, knowing nothing, but has a morbid fondness for questions and contentions about words, out of which come envy, strife, railing, evil suspicions,

⁵ I left you in Crete for this purpose, that you might set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I commanded you:

¹⁰ A man that is a sectary, reject, after the first and second admonition,

² whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom, also, he made the ages; ³ who, being the effulgence of his glory and the exact representation of his essence, and upholding all things by his own powerful word, when he had by himself made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister to those who shall inherit salvation?

¹⁴ But strong food belongs to those who are of mature age, who, by use, have their internal senses exercised to the discerning of both good and evil.

¹² that you may not become slothful, but imitators of those who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises.

¹⁵ And for this reason, he is the mediator of the new covenant: that, since his death has taken place for the redemption of transgressions that were under the former covenant, those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. ¹⁶ For where a testament is, it is necessary that there be brought in the death of the testator: ¹⁷ for a testament goes into effect after men are dead: seeing that it has no validity at all while the testator lives. ¹⁸ Wherefore, the first covenant was not instituted without blood. ¹⁹ For when Moses had spoken to all the people every commandment of the law, lie took the blood of calves and of goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying: ²⁰ This is the blood of the covenant which God enjoins on you:

²⁸ so the Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to those who look for him he will appear the second time, without a sin-offering, in order to salvation.

²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the custom of some; but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.

²⁹ of how much severer punishment do you think he shall be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, a common thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace?

⁵ and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as to sons: My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him. ⁶ For, whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son that he receives. ⁷ If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons: for what son is there whose father chastens him not? ⁸ But if you are without chastisement, of which all are par takers, then are you bastards, and not sons. ⁹ So, then, we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we reverenced them; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of our spirits, and live? ¹⁰ For they, indeed, for a few days, chastened us as they thought it good; but he chastens us for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. ¹¹ But no chastisement seems, at the time, to be a matter of joy, but of grief: yet afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised by it.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the eternal covenant,

⁵ Hear, my be loved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God has promised to those who love him? ⁶ But you dishonor the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do they not themselves drag you to the judgment-seats?

¹ My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

⁹ With it we bless God, even the Father: and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God.

¹² But above all things, my brethren, swear not, either by heaven, or by the earth, or with any other oath: but let your yes, be yes, and your no, be no, lest you fall into condemnation.

¹⁴ or to governors, as those sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of those who do well.

¹ Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they may, without the word, be won by the conduct of their wives,

⁵ For, in former times, the holy women also, who trusted in God, thus adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands, ⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: and you are her children, if you do good, and fear no dismay.

¹ But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers also among you; and these will stealthily introduce ruinous sects, and deny the Lord that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction: ² and many will follow their dissolute ways, on account of whom the way of truth will be reviled;

¹³ and receive the reward of unrighteousness. Counting it a pleasure to riot in the day-time, they are spots and stains, rioting in their delusions, while feasting with you;

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth, and the works that are on it, shall be burned up.

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, so that he will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us: for, if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

²⁸ And now, little children, abide in him, that when he appears, we may have confidence, and may not be made ashamed by him at his coming.

²⁰ for if our heart condemn us, we know that God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence to ward God,

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the wicked one.

¹² These, while feasting with you, are- spots in your love-feasts, feeding themselves without fear; they are clouds without water, driven along by winds; trees of autumn, without fruit, twice dead, torn up by the roots: -

¹⁴ And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied with reference to these men, saying: Behold, the Lord comes with his holy myriads,

⁷ Behold, he comes with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and those also who pierced him: and all the tribes of the land shall lament because of him. Even so. Amen.

⁵ Remember, therefore, whence you have fallen, and repent, and do your first works; if not, I will come to you quickly, and I will remove your candlestick from its place, unless you repent.

² Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die; for I have not found your works perfect before God. ³ Remember, therefore, how you have received and heard, and be watchful and repent. If, therefore, you do not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous, therefore, and repent.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things that were written in the books, according to their works.

²⁰ He that testifies these things, says: Surely, I. come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus.
