²⁰ Brethren, be not children in understanding: yet, in malice, be childlike; but, in understanding, be full-grown men.

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. 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. ³⁶ Has the word of God come forth from you? or did it come to you only? ³⁷ If any one has the reputation of being a prophet, or spiritual man, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. ³⁸ But if any one be ignorant, let him be ignorant. ³⁹ Wherefore, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

⁹ Now I rejoice not that you were made sorry, but that you sorrowed in order to repentance. For you sorrowed in a way acceptable to God, that you might in nothing receive injury from us. ¹⁰ For godly sorrow works repentance not to be regretted, which leads to salvation: but the sorrow of the world works death. ¹¹ For behold this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner; what earnestness it produced in you; what defense of yourselves; what indignation; what fear; what strong affection; what zeal; what assertion of right. In all respects you have shown yourselves to be blame less in this matter. ¹² Therefore, though I wrote to you, it was not on account of him who did the wrong, nor on account of him who received the wrong; but that our diligent care for you, in the sight of God, might be made manifest to you. ¹³ For this reason, we have been comforted by means of your comfort: and we rejoiced exceedingly more indeed, on account of the joy of Titus, for his spirit was refreshed by you all. ¹⁴ For if I boasted of you to him, in any respect, I am not made ashamed; but as I have spoken all things to you in truth, so also has our boasting to Titus been found to be truth: ¹⁵ and his affection for you is the more abundant, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling. ¹⁶ I rejoice that I have confidence in you in all things.

⁸ I robbed other churches, taking wages to do you service: and when I was present with you, and wanted, I was not a burden to any one; ⁹ for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my wants; and in every thing I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and will continue to keep myself. ¹⁰ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting shall not be silenced, in my case, in the regions of Achaia. ¹¹ Why? Because I do not love you? God knows. ¹² But what I am -doing I will also continue to do, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire an occasion, that in what they boast, they may be found even as we.

⁴ was caught away to Paradise, and heard words not to be spoken, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

¹¹ I have become of no understanding; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you: I am in no respect inferior to the very greatest of the apostles, although I am nothing.

²⁰ For I fear, lest when I come I shall find you not, such as I wish, and I shall be found by you not such as you wish: lest there shall be contentions, envies, excitements, strife, evil speaking, whisperings, party spirit, disorderly conduct:

¹ But I say, that the heir, as long as he is a minor, differs in no respect from a servant, though he is owner of all;

¹³ For you have been called to freedom, brethren: only use not your freedom as an occasion for the flesh, but become servants to one another, through love. ¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one commandment, in this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, take heed lest you be utterly destroyed by one another. ¹⁶ I say this: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

¹⁶ I say this: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit is against flesh; and these are opposed, the one to the other, so that you can not do what you would. ¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are well known, and they are these lewdness, uncleanness, wantonness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strifes, jealousies, anger, party-spirit, divisions, sects, ²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; with respect to which, I tell you now, as I also told you in times past, that those who practice such things shall riot inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness,

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness,

²⁶ Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

¹ Brethren, if a man be overtaken in any fault, do you, who are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted. ² Bear with the weaknesses of one another, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

² Bear with the weaknesses of one another, and so fulfill the law of Christ. ³ For if any one think himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself:

⁴ so that, when you read, you can see my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,)

⁸ to me, who am by far the least of all the saints, has this grace been given, that I might preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

¹⁸ that, being rooted and founded in love, you may be fully able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and hight, ¹⁹ and to know the love of the Christ that passes our knowledge, that you may be filled with aft the fullness of God.

⁹ I also pray for this, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all understanding,

¹⁵ Some, indeed, preach the Christ, because of envy and a contentious disposition, and some because of good-will.

¹⁵ Some, indeed, preach the Christ, because of envy and a contentious disposition, and some because of good-will. ¹⁶ These do it from love, because they know that I am set for the defense of the gospel; ¹⁷ those preach Christ from a contentious disposition, not sincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds. ¹⁸ What difference does this make? Christ is, nevertheless, preached in every way, whether in pretense or in truth; and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice:

¹⁸ What difference does this make? Christ is, nevertheless, preached in every way, whether in pretense or in truth; and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice:

²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but with all boldness, as at all times, so even now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. ²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

¹ If, therefore, there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort arising from love, if any participation of the Spirit, if any affections and mercies, ² fulfill my joy, that you be of the same mind, having the same love, of one soul, of one mind; ³ doing nothing in strife and vain glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

³ doing nothing in strife and vain glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 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,

¹⁷ But if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all. ¹⁸ In like manner do you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

²¹ for all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

¹² Not that I have already attained, or have already reached the goal; but I am pressing forward, that I may lay hold on that for which I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.

¹⁸ For many walk, of whom I often said to you, and now say even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of the Christ,

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, or any praise, think of these things.

⁵ in consequence of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

¹¹ strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, in order to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness,

²⁶ the mystery which was concealed from the ages and the generations, but is now made manifest to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

² that their hearts may be comforted, they being firmly united in love in order to gain all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may acknowledge the mystery of God, even the Father, and of Christ, ³ in whom are stored up all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.

¹⁸ Let no one gain his purpose in depriving you of the palm by an affected humility and worship of angels, prying into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

¹² Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, a merciful disposition, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering:

¹⁴ and over all these put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.

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, ⁷ for this reason we are comforted concerning you, brethren, in all our distress and affliction, by your faith: ⁸ for now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for the great joy with which we rejoice on your account before our God, ¹⁰ night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation:

¹⁴ We exhort you, brethren, admonish the unruly, comfort the faint-hearted, earnestly care for the weak-minded, be of a long-suffering disposition toward all.

⁴ so that we ourselves glory in you, among the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure;

¹² that all may be condemned who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness.

⁷ For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we did not behave in a disorderly manner among you,

⁵ (Now the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and out of a good conscience, and out of faith unfeigned:

¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in flesh, justified in spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory.

⁸ For the exercise of the body is profitable for little; but godliness is profitable for all things, and has the promise of the life that now is, and also of that which is to come.

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,

⁷ For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

³ Do you, there fore, suffer evil, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ Every one that serves as a soldier keeps himself free from the business of this life, that he may please him that has chosen him to be a soldier. ⁵ And if any one also contend in the public games, he is not crowned, unless he contend according to the laws. ⁶ It is necessary that, the farmer should labor, before he partakes of the fruits. ⁷ Consider what I say, for I pray that the Lord may give you understanding in all things. ⁸ Remember that Jesus Christ, of the posterity of David, was raised from the dead, according to my gospel; ⁹ in which I suffer evil, as an evil-doer, even to bonds: but the word of God is not bound. ¹⁰ For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

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

²⁴ and the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but gentle toward all men, able to teach, patient under evils, ²⁵ in meekness instructing those who oppose themselves, if, possibly, God may give them repentance in order to the acknowledgment of the truth,

¹⁰ But you have fully known my teaching, my course of life, my purpose, my faithfulness, my long-suffering, my love, my patience, ¹¹ my persecutions, my sufferings which came upon me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; you well know what persecutions I endured: and yet out of them all, the Lord delivered me.

² preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching.

⁵ But do you be watchful in all things, endure evil, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.?

³ For we ourselves also were formerly foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one an other.

¹¹ But we desire every one of you to show the same diligence, in order to have your hope fully assured to the end:

¹⁹ which, hope we have as an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters in beyond the vail,

¹³ In saying, A new covenant, he has regarded the first as out of use. Now, that which is out of use, and has become old, is ready to disappear.

³⁵ Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which has a great reward.

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

⁹ Be not carried away by various and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be strengthened with grace, not with meats, which have not profited those who were occupied with them.

¹³ Therefore, let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

¹² Blessed is the man that endures trial: for, being approved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him.

¹⁹ So, then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

²³ For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a mirror:

¹⁴ What profit is there, my brethren, if any one say he has faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and any of you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and be filled, and yet give them not the things that are needful for the body, what does this profit them? ¹⁷ So, also, faith, if it has not works, is dead, being by itself.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom comes not from above, but is earthly, animal, demoniac. ¹⁶ For where envy and strife are, there is commotion, and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

⁵ Do you suppose that the scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit that dwells in us incline to envy? No.

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets that prophesied of the grace that should be for you, did inquire, and search diligently, ¹¹ inquiring what things, and what time, the Spirit of Christ that was in them did signify, when it testified, before hand, the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them; ¹² to whom it was revealed, that, not for themselves, but for us, they ministered the things that are now preached to you by those who have made known to you the gospel, through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; into which things angels desire to look.

²¹ who through him do believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.

¹ Therefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,

²⁴ He himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. By his stripes you were healed.

⁸ Finally, be all of the same mind, be sympathizing, lovers of the brethren, kind-hearted, humble-minded;

⁸ But, above all things, have fervent love one for another; for love will cover a multitude of sins.

⁷ and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

¹⁸ For by speaking boastful words of folly, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, and through lasciviousness, those who had really escaped from those who live in error.

¹⁰ He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is in him no cause for offense.

¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.

²⁴ Let that, therefore, abide in you which you have heard from the beginning. If that abide in you which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.

² Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. ³ And every one that has this hope in Him purifies himself, even as He is pure.

⁹ Whoever has been begotten of God does not work sin; because his seed remains in him: and he can not sin, because he has been begotten of God.

¹⁶ By this we know the love of Christ, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹⁶ By this we know the love of Christ, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷ Whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother have need, and shuts his heart against him, how dwells the love of God in him?

¹⁷ Whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother have need, and shuts his heart against him, how dwells the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God: and every one that loves, has been begotten of God, and knows God. ⁸ He that loves not, does not know God; for God is love.

⁸ He that loves not, does not know God; for God is love. ⁹ In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹² No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us. ¹³ By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen, and we do testify, that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the. world. ¹⁵ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God. ¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love which God has for us. God is love; and he that dwells in love, dwells in God, and God in him. ¹⁷ By this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because, as he is, so are we in this world. ¹⁸ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment: he that fears is not made perfect in love.

²⁰ If any man say, I love God, and yet hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother, whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? ²¹ And this commandment we have from him: That he that loves God, must love his brother also.

¹ Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ, has been be gotten of God: and every one that loves him that begot, loves him also that is begotten of him. ² By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. ³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not burdensome. ⁴ For whatever is begotten of God, overcomes the world; and this is the victorious principle that overcomes the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁴ I rejoiced greatly because I found some of your children walking in the truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

⁴ I rejoiced greatly because I found some of your children walking in the truth, as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. ⁶ And this is -love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

³ For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified to the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth.

²² And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. ²³ And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God gave it light, and the lamp of it is the Lamb.

⁴ And they shall see his face, and his name shall be in their foreheads.

⁴ And they shall see his face, and his name shall be in their foreheads. ⁵ And there shall be no more night; and they have no need of the lamp, nor of the light of the sun: for the Lord God will give them light: and they shall reign from age to age.
