1 Corinthians 15 Cross References - Anderson

¹ But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel that I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 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; ⁴ and that he was buried; and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures; ⁵ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve; ⁶ after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till this day; but some have fallen asleep. ⁷ After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles. ⁸ Last of all, he was seen by me also, as one untimely born. 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. ¹⁰ But, by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace, which was bestowed on me, has not been bestowed in vain: but I have labored more abundantly than they all; not I, how ever, but the grace of God which was with me. ¹¹ Whether, therefore, I or they, so we preached, and so you believed. ¹² But if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that a resurrection of the dead is impossible? ¹³ But if a resurrection of the dead is impossible, Christ has not been raised. ¹⁴ And if Christ has not been raised, then vain is our preaching, and vain also your faith. ¹⁵ We are, indeed, also found false witnesses of God; for we have testified against God, that he raised the Christ, whom he did not raise, if, indeed, the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised; ¹⁷ and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins. ¹⁸ Then, also, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable. ²⁰ But now, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who slept. ²¹ For, since through man came death, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For, as in Adam all die, so, also, in Christ shall all be made alive: ²³ but each in his own order; Christ the first-fruit, afterward, those who are Christ's at his coming. ²⁴ Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down every principality and authority and power: ²⁵ for he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed. 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. ²⁹ For else, what shall those do, who are immersed for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why, then, are they immersed for the dead? ³⁰ And why are we in danger every hour? ³¹ I protest, by the joy which I have over you in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. ³² If, to speak as a man, I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. ³³ Be not deceived: Evil communications corrupt good manners. ³⁴ Awake, as you should, to soberness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. ³⁵ But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? ³⁶ Thoughtless man! That which you sow is not made alive, unless it die; ³⁷ and as to that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be produced, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain: ³⁸ but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body. ³⁹ All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. ⁴⁰ There are also bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial is another. ⁴¹ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. ⁴² So, also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption: ⁴³ it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power: ⁴⁴ it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit. ⁴⁶ But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven. ⁴⁸ As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be. ⁴⁹ And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. ⁵⁰ But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹ Behold, I declare to you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corruptible body must put on incorruptibility; and this mortal body must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ And when this corruptible body shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. ⁵⁵ Death, where is thy sting? Hades, where is thy victory? ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵⁸ Therefore, my be loved brethren, be firm, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; for you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

If they call the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household?

⁴⁰ He that receives you, receives me: and he that receives me, receives him that sent me. ⁴¹ He that receives a prophet be cause he is a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward. ⁴² And whoever will give one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink, because he is a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

He that has ears to hear,- let him hear.

⁴³ Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears to hear,- let him hear.

⁵⁷ When the evening had come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph; and he also was a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given. ⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶³ and said: Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will arise. ⁶⁴ Therefore, command that the sepulcher be made safe till the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people, He has risen from the dead; and the last error will be worse than the first.

¹ And after the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the sepulcher. ² And behold, there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord having descended from heaven, came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat upon it. ³ His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment was white as snow. ⁴ From fear of him the keepers did shake and become like dead men. ⁵ But the angel answered and said to the women: Fear not; for I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to them: Fear not; go, tell my brethren to go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.

¹⁶ And the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into the mountain, where Jesus had appointed to meet them. ¹⁷ And when they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. ¹⁸ And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All authority in heaven and on earth is given to me.

¹⁶ And these are they that, in like manner, received seed in stony places: who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy: ¹⁷ and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a time; afterward, when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, they immediately take offense. ¹⁸ And these are they that received seed among thorns; who hear the word, ¹⁹ and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. ²⁰ And these are they that received seed on the good ground; who hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

²⁶ And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should sow seed in the ground, ²⁷ and should sleep and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knows not how. ²⁸ For the earth, of its own accord, produces fruit, first the blade; then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. ²⁹ But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest is ready.

² And very early, on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they came to the sepulcher. ³ And they said among themselves: Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the sepulcher? ⁴ for it was very great. And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. ⁵ And they entered the sepulcher, and saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe: and they were frightened. ⁶ But he said to them: Be not frightened; you seek Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here: see the place where they laid him. ⁷ But go, tell his disciples, and Peter, that he goes before you into Galilee; there you shall see him, as he told you.

⁷ But go, tell his disciples, and Peter, that he goes before you into Galilee; there you shall see him, as he told you.

¹⁶ And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient, by the wisdom of the just, in order to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.

¹¹ For there is born for you this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

¹³ Those on the rock are they that, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who, for awhile, believe, and in time of temptation apostatize. ¹⁴ That which fell among thorns are those who hear, and so conduct them selves, that they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

⁴² Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, ⁴³ till I make thy enemies thy footstool.

⁵⁰ And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor, a good and a just man; ⁵¹ (he had not given his consent to their counsel and deed;) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he himself also waited for the kingdom of God: ⁵² this man came to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that had been hewed in rock, in which no one had yet been laid.

²⁵ And he said to them: inconsiderate, and slow of heart to believe all things that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

²⁶ Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? ²⁷ And beginning from Moses, and all the prophets, he explained to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself.

³³ And they arose the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven, and those who were with them, assembled, ³⁴ and saying: The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon. ³⁵ And they told what had taken place on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread. ³⁶ And while they were speaking of these things, Jesus him self stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be to you.

³⁶ And while they were speaking of these things, Jesus him self stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be to you. ³⁷ But they were terrified and frightened, and thought that they saw a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? ³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have. ⁴⁰ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. ⁴¹ And while they did not believe as yet for joy, and were astonished, he said to them: Have you any thing here to eat? ⁴² And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of a honey comb. ⁴³ And he took it, and did eat before them. ⁴⁴ And he said to them: These are the words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled that are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind, that they might understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶ and he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus was it necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day,

⁴⁶ and he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus was it necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day,

⁴⁶ and he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus was it necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day, ⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you. But do you remain in the city of Jerusalem, till you be clothed with power from on high. ⁵⁰ And he led them out as far as Bethany; and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

⁴ In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple, and I will raise it up in three days. ²⁰ Then the Jews said to him: Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you rebuild it in three days? ²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body. ²² "When, therefore, he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. And they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had spoken.

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

⁴ Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb the second time, and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is begotten of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is begotten of the Spirit, is spirit.

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

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be?

¹² If I have told you of earthly things, and you believe not, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? ¹³ And no man has ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.

³¹ He that comes from above, is over all. He that is from the earth, is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. He that comes from heaven, is over all;

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

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her: If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him, shall never thirst. But the water that I will give him, shall be in him a fountain of water springing up in order to eternal life.

¹⁴ After this Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Behold, you have been restored to health; sin no more, lest some worse thing befall you.

²¹ For as the Father raises the dead, and makes them alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.

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.

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,

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.

²⁸ Then they said to him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? ²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.

³³ For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life for the world.

³⁹ And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all that he gives me, I shall lose nothing, but shall raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ For this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

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

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.

⁶³ It is the spirit that makes alive; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I speak to you are spirit and life.

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

¹¹ She said: No one, sir. Jesus said to her: Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more.

²¹ Then spoke Jesus to them again; I go away, and you will seek me, and in your sin you shall die; whither I go, you can not come.

²¹ Then spoke Jesus to them again; I go away, and you will seek me, and in your sin you shall die; whither I go, you can not come. ²² Then said the Jews: Will he kill himself, because he says, Whither I go, you can not come? ²³ And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. ²⁴ Therefore said I to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am, He, you shall die in your sins.

²⁴ Therefore said I to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am, He, you shall die in your sins.

³¹ Then said Jesus to those Jews that believed on him: If you continue in my word, you are my disciples indeed, ³² and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

²⁸ and I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall take them out of my hand.

²⁵ Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believes on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live;

²⁵ Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believes on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; ²⁶ and he that lives and believes on me, shall never die. Do you believe this?

²⁴ Verily, verily I say to you, unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains alone; but if it die, it produces much fruit.

⁴⁸ He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has that which judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had delivered all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going to God,

⁶ Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you shall see me. Because I live, you also shall live.

²⁸ You have heard that I said to you, I am going away, and am coming again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I go to the Father; for my Father is greater than I.

² They will put you out of the synagogues; in deed, the time is coming, when he that kills you, will think that he is offering service to God.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have affliction, but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.

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.

³⁸ And after this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave him permission. He then came and took away the body of Jesus.

¹⁹ Then, on that day, the first day of the week, when it was evening, and the doors of the house in which the disciples were assembled had been closed for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you.

¹⁹ Then, on that day, the first day of the week, when it was evening, and the doors of the house in which the disciples were assembled had been closed for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you. ²⁰ And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced, when they saw the Lord. ²¹ Then Jesus said to them again: Peace be to you. As my Father has sent me, so I send you. ²² And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit. ²³ Whosever sins you forgive, they are forgiven them: whosever sins you retain, they are retained. ²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ Then the other disciples said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger in the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. ²⁶ And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas was with them. Then Jesus came, though the doors had been closed, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you.

²⁶ And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas was with them. Then Jesus came, though the doors had been closed, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you.

² till the day on which he was taken up, after he had, through the Holy Spirit, given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen. ³ To whom, after he had suffered, he also showed himself alive, by many indubitable proofs; appearing to them for forty days, and speaking of the things that pertain to the kingdom of God.

⁴ And calling them together, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of my Father, which, said he, you have heard from me; ⁵ for John indeed immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit, not many days hence.

⁵ for John indeed immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit, not many days hence. ⁶ Therefore, when they came together, they asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

⁶ Therefore, when they came together, they asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? ⁷ But he said to them: It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has reserved under his own control.

⁷ But he said to them: It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has reserved under his own control. ⁸ But you shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses for me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the most distant part of the earth.

⁸ But you shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses for me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the most distant part of the earth. ⁹ And when he had spoken these things, while they were looking on him, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

⁹ And when he had spoken these things, while they were looking on him, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. ¹⁰ And while they were looking earnestly to ward heaven, as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white raiment,

¹¹ who also said: Men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall come in the same manner in which you saw him go into heaven. ¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey.

¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey. ¹³ And when they had come in, they went up into an upper room, in which dwelt Peter and James, and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphasus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. ¹⁴ All these, with one mind, continued in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

²³ him, delivered up by the fixed purpose and foreknowledge of God, you took, and with wicked hands did crucify and slay: ²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in subjection by it.

²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in subjection by it. ²⁵ For David speaks with reference to him: I saw the Lord always in my presence: for he is at my right hand, that I should not be moved. ²⁶ Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue sang praise. Moreover, my flesh shall rest in hope; ²⁷ because thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

²⁷ because thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance. ²⁹ Brethren, I may say to you plainly of the patriarch David, that he died, and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day. ³⁰ Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that he would cause one from the fruit of his loins to sit on his throne; ³¹ foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

³² This Jesus has God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. ³³ Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from his Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear. ³⁴ For David has not ascended into the heavens; but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

⁴¹ Then they that gladly received his word were immersed, and on that day there were added to them about three thou sand souls.

⁴⁷ praising God, and being in favor with all the people. And the Lord added the saved daily to the Church.

¹⁵ and you slew the Author of life, whom God has raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

¹⁸ But the things which God fore told by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Christ should suffer, he has thus fulfilled.

¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand before you in health.

³³ And with great power did the apostles bear testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.

³¹ Him has God exalted to his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, in order to give to Israel repentance and remission of sins:

⁶⁰ And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice: Lord, let not this sin stand against them. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. And Saul was well pleased with his death.

³ But Saul attempted to destroy the church; entering every house, and dragging men and women, he delivered them up to prison.

¹³ And Simon himself also believed; and after he was immersed, he continued with Philip; and, seeing the mighty deeds and the signs which were done, he was astonished.

¹ And Saul, still breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the chief priest, ² and asked of him letters to Damascus, for the synagogues, that, if he should find any who were of this persuasion, either men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. ³ And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light from heaven.

³ And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light from heaven. ⁴ And when he had fallen to the earth, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

⁴ And when he had fallen to the earth, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? ⁵ He answered: "Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus, whom you persecute.

⁵ He answered: "Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus, whom you persecute.

⁵ He answered: "Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus, whom you persecute. ⁶ But rise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.

⁶ But rise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do. ⁷ The men who journeyed with him stood amazed; for they heard a voice, but saw no one. ⁸ And Saul arose from the earth, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one; but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. ⁹ And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank. ¹⁰ Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. He answered: Behold me, Lord. ¹¹ And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Straight, and in quire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he is praying; ¹² and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in and laying his hand on him, that he may receive his sight. ¹³ But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem; ¹⁴ and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name. ¹⁵ But the Lord said to him: Go; for he is a vessel chosen by me to bear my name before nations and kings, and the sons of Israel. ¹⁶ For I will show him what great things he must suffer for my name. ¹⁷ And Ananias went, and entered the house, and laying his hands on him, said: Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ And Ananias went, and entered the house, and laying his hands on him, said: Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he instantly received his sight; and he arose, and was immersed. ¹⁹ And, having taken food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples in Damascus for some days;

³⁶ The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all,)

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew by hanging him on a tree. ⁴⁰ Him God raised up the third day, and caused him to appear, ⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses who were be fore appointed by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him, after he rose from the dead.

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses who were be fore appointed by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him, after he rose from the dead. ⁴² And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that this is he who has been appointed by God as the judge of the living and the dead.

¹ And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

¹⁷ But, having made a sign to them with his hand, that they should keep silence, he made known to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison, and he said: Tell this to James, and to the brethren. And he went out, and departed to another place.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher. ³⁰ But God raised him. from the dead.

³⁰ But God raised him. from the dead. ³¹ And he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

³¹ And he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people. ³² And we preach to you good news concerning the promise made to our fathers,

³² And we preach to you good news concerning the promise made to our fathers, ³³ that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

³³ that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. ³⁴ But that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: I will give you the sure mercies of David. ³⁵ For which reason he says also in another Psalm: Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. ³⁶ For David, after serving the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption.

³⁶ For David, after serving the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption. ³⁷ But he whom God raised up did not see corruption. ³⁸ Be it known to you, therefore, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the remission of sins: ³⁹ and by him, every one that believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, that through many afflictions we mast enter the kingdom of God.

³¹ because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world, in righteousness, by the man whom he has chosen, giving to all assurance of this, by having raised him from the dead. ³² And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; others said: We will hear you again concerning this matter.

⁴ But on every sabbath, he reasoned in the synagogue, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. ⁵ And when Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul was roused in spirit, and earnestly testified to the Jews, that-the Christ was Jesus.

⁹ And the Lord spoke to Paul by a vision in the night: Fear not; but speak, and be not silent;

¹⁹ And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he him self went into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

¹ And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, after passing through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,

²³ And at that time there was no little excitement about that way. ²⁴ For a certain man, named Demetrius, a silversmith, by making silver shrines for Diana, furnished no little trade to the artists. ²⁵ These he called together, with the workmen em ployed about such things, and said: Men, you know that our wealth arises from this trade: ²⁶ and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost the whole of Asia, this Paul, by his persuasions, has drawn away a great multitude, saying, that they which are made with hands are not gods. ²⁷ Now there is danger, not only that this our calling will come into disgrace, but that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and that the majesty of her whom all Asia and the world worships, will be destroyed. ²⁸ When they heard this, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians! ²⁹ And the whole city was filled with confusion. And they seized Gains and Aristarchus, who were Macedonians, Paul's fellow-travelers, and, with one consent, rushed into the theater. ³⁰ And when Paul wished to go in among the people, the disciples did not permit him. ³¹ Some of the Asiarchs also, who were friendly to him, sent to him, and besought him not to trust himself into the theater. ³² Some, therefore, were crying one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what they had come together. ³³ And some of the multitude put Alexander forward, the Jews urging him on. And Alexander waved his hand, and wished to make a defense to the people. ³⁴ But perceiving that he was a Jew, they all cried out, with one voice, for about two hours: Great is Diana of the Ephesians. ³⁵ But the town-clerk quieted the multitude, and said: Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great Diana, and of the image that fell down from Jupiter? ³⁶ As these things, then, can not be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly. ³⁷ For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples, nor revilers of your goddess. ³⁸ Therefore, if Demetrius, and the artists who are with him, have a charge against any one, the courts are in session, and the proconsuls are there; let them accuse each other. ³⁹ But if you have any inquiries to make about other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. ⁴⁰ For we are in danger of being called to answer for this day's tumult, since there is no cause by which we shall be able to account for this concourse. ⁴¹ And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

²¹ bearing full testimony both to Jews and to Greeks, of the repentance that leads to God, and of the faith that leads to our Lord Jesus Christ.

²³ except that in every city the Holy Spirit testifies to me, saying, That bonds and afflictions await me.

⁴ And I persecuted this way to the death, binding and delivering into prison both men and women, ⁵ as the chief priest and the whole body of elders will testify for me. From them I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring those, also, who were there, bound to Jerusalem, that they might be punished.

¹⁴ And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen you, that you should know his will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of his mouth;

¹⁸ and saw him saying to me, Make haste, and depart quickly from Jerusalem, for they will not receive your testimony concerning me.

⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection; neither angel nor spirit: but the Pharisees acknowledge both. And there arose a great clamor. And the scribes, on the part of the Pharisees, arose and contended, saying:

⁸ "What? Is it thought a thing incredible among you, that God raises the dead? ⁹ I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things against the name of Jesus the Nazarene. ¹⁰ And this I did in Jerusalem; and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests: and when they were put to death, I gave my vote against them. ¹¹ And I punished them often in every synagogue, and compelled them to speak impiously; and, being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

¹⁶ But arise, and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness of the things which you have seen, and of those in which I will appear to you,

²² Having, therefore, obtained help from God, I have stood till this day, testifying both to small and to great, saying nothing else than the things which the prophets and Moses did say should come to pass: ²³ that Christ should suffer, and that he first, by his resurrection from the dead, should show light to the people, and to the Gentiles.

²³ that Christ should suffer, and that he first, by his resurrection from the dead, should show light to the people, and to the Gentiles.

³⁵ And when he had said this, he took bread, and gave thanks to God before them all, and broke, and began to eat.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the Gospel: for it is the power of God in order to salvation, to every one that believes, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

²² professing to be wise, they became foolish, ²³ and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

²⁸ And as they refused to acknowledge God, God delivered them up to an undiscerning mind, to do detestable things;

⁷ to those who, by patient continuance in good works, seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life:

¹⁶ who show that the work which the law requires, is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing testimony, and their reasonings with each other accusing, or making excuse.

⁷ Yet, if the truth of God has, through my lie, been greatly advanced to his glory, why am I still judged as a sinner? ⁸ Then, why not say, (as we are slanderously reported as saying, and, as some affirm, that we do say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? Of such persons the condemnation is just.

¹⁹ Now we know that what the law says, it speaks- to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become guilty before God. ²⁰ Wherefore, by works of law, no flesh shall be justified in his sight; for by law is the knowledge of sin.

²⁵ whom God has set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, through faith in his blood, in order to manifest his righteousness, in passing by the sins that were formerly committed through the forbearance of God;

¹⁵ for the law inflicts punishment; for where no law is, there is no transgression.

²⁴ but for our sakes also, to whom it shall be counted, if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, ²⁵ who was delivered up for our offenses, and raised again for our justification.

²⁵ who was delivered up for our offenses, and raised again for our justification.

² through whom we have had access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

¹⁰ For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

¹² For this reason, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by his sin, death; and so death passed through to all men, because all have sinned:

¹² For this reason, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by his sin, death; and so death passed through to all men, because all have sinned:

¹⁵ But the favor bestowed is not, in all respects, like the offense: for if, by the offense of one, the many have died, much more have the grace of God and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, been made abundant for the many.

¹⁶ And the gift is not like the sentence that came through one who sinned: for the sentence to condemnation was because of one offense; but the favor bestowed in order to justification, is because of many offenses. ¹⁷ For if, by one man's offense, death has reigned through that one, much more shall those who receive the abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through the one, who is Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ For if, by one man's offense, death has reigned through that one, much more shall those who receive the abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through the one, who is Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ For if, by one man's offense, death has reigned through that one, much more shall those who receive the abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through the one, who is Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ Therefore, as, by one offense, sentence came on all men to condemnation, so, also, by one act of righteousness, the gift has come on all men to justification of life. ¹⁹ For as by the disobedience of the one man the many have been made sinners, so, also, by the obedience of the one, the many shall be made righteous. ²⁰ But, besides the first offense, law was introduced, in order that offenses might abound: but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

²⁰ But, besides the first offense, law was introduced, in order that offenses might abound: but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: ²¹ that as sin has reigned, ending in death, so might grace reign by justification, ending in life eternal, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²¹ that as sin has reigned, ending in death, so might grace reign by justification, ending in life eternal, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

³ Know you not that as many of us as were immersed into Christ Jesus, were immersed into his death? ⁴ Therefore, we are buried with him, by immersion, into death, that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in a new life.

⁴ Therefore, we are buried with him, by immersion, into death, that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in a new life.

⁶ knowing this, that our former man has been crucified with him, in order that the sinful body may be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer serve sin:

¹² Therefore, let not sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey it;

¹⁹ I speak of what is common among men, oil account of the weakness of your flesh: for as you have presented your members as servants to uncleanness, and to lawlessness, in order to lawlessness, so now present your members as servants to righteousness, in order to holiness.

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

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were excited by the law, were active in our members, so as to bring forth fruit to death: ⁶ but now we are made free from the law, being dead to that by which we were bound, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. ⁷ What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? It can not be. Indeed, I had not known sin, except through law. For I had not known evil desire, unless the law had said: You shall not have any evil desire. ⁸ But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, rendered active within me every evil desire. For without the law, sin was dead. ⁹ Indeed, I was alive with out the law, once; but when the commandment came, sin be came alive, and I died: ¹⁰ and the commandment, which was given for life, I found to be for death. ¹¹ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. ¹² Therefore, the law is holy, and the commandment, holy and just and good. ¹³ Has, then, that which is good become death to me? It can not be. But sin, that it, might appear sin, was causing death to me through that which is good, in order that sin, through the commandment, might become exceedingly sinful.

²⁵ I thank God that I shall be delivered through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I my self, with the mind, serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin.

² For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed me from the law of sin, and of death.

¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, the body is dead, on account of sin, but the Spirit is life, on ac count of righteousness. ¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised the Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwells in you.

¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised the Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwells in you.

²¹ in hope, that even the creature itself shall be made free from the bondage of corruption, and introduced into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

²³ and not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

²⁹ For those whom he foreknew, he predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren:

³³ "Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. ³⁴ Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died: rather, indeed, that has risen, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

³⁶ As it is written: For thy sake, we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

³⁶ As it is written: For thy sake, we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷ Yet, in all these things, we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us.

³⁷ Yet, in all these things, we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, ³⁹ nor hight, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. SECTION THIRD. God's Dealings with Israel as a People,

¹⁹ You will then say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?

¹ I say, then, Has God rejected his people? It can not be. For I am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

⁵ Thus, then, at the present time also, there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ⁶ And if the election is by grace, it is no longer by works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.

²² Behold, then, the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell,. severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise, you also shall be cut off.

³ For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one that is among you, that he must not think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but that he be disposed to think modestly, as God has distributed to each a measure of faith.

¹¹ And do this, because you know the time, that the hour has already come when we should awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed: ¹² the night is far advanced, the day draws near. Let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ¹³ Let us walk in a becoming manner, as in the day; not in riotings and in drunkenness, not in lewdness and in wantonness, not in. contention and in envy: ¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.

¹⁷ I have, therefore, cause to glory in Christ Jesus in things that pertain to God. ¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, by word and deed, in order to make the Gentiles obedient, ¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders by the power of the Holy Spirit. So that from Jerusalem, and round about as far as Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of the Christ; ²⁰ so earnestly desirous have I been to preach the gospel, not where Christ had been named, lest I should build on another man's foundation;

⁴ I thank my God always on your account, for the grace of God which is given to you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that you are enriched by him in every thing, in all speech, and in all knowledge, ⁶ even as the testimony concerning the Christ was con firmed among you, ⁷ so that you are deficient in no gift, while waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ He also will establish you even to the end, and make you blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹² I mean this: that each one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

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.

²¹ For, since in the wisdom of God, the world, by its wisdom, knew not God, it has pleased God, through the foolishness of what is preached, to save those who believe.

²³ but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks, foolishness: ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

² For I determined not to know any thing among you but Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

² For I determined not to know any thing among you but Jesus Christ, and him crucified. ³ And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling: ⁴ and my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, ⁵ that your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. ⁶ Yet we speak wisdom among the perfect; but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are brought to nought: ⁷ but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, even that which had been hidden, which God predestined before the ages, for our glory,

⁷ but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, even that which had been hidden, which God predestined before the ages, for our glory,

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered: but God made to grow. ⁷ So, neither he that plants nor he that waters is any thing: but God that makes to grow. ⁸ But he that plants and he that waters are one; and each one shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor.

²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all are yours: ²³ and you are Christ's: and Christ is God s.

¹ Let each one so think of us as ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

¹ Let each one so think of us as ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. ² Now it is required in stewards, that each one be found faithful.

⁷ For who gave you distinction, as a teacher? And what have you as a teacher, that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast, as if you had not received it?

⁹ For I think that God has appointed us the apostles, to the lowest place, as under sentence of death; for we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. ¹⁰ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honored, but we are despised. ¹¹ Even to this present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are poorly clothed, and are maltreated, and wander about without a home, ¹² and labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; ¹³ when defamed, we entreat; we have become like the outcasts of the world, the offscouring of all things to this day.

⁶ Your boasting is not good; know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole mass?

³ Know you not that we shall judge angels? Much more then, things pertaining to this life. ⁴ If, then, you have controversies pertaining to things of this life, set them to judge who are the least esteemed in the church. ⁵ I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you a wise man, not even one, who shall be able to arbitrate between his brethren?

⁹ Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither lewd persons, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites,

¹³ Meats for the stomach, and the stomach for meats; but God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for lewdness, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body: ¹⁴ and God has raised, up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

²⁹ Now, this I say, brethren, the time is fraught with trials. It remains that those who have wives be as though they had them not;

⁷ But all have not this knowledge; for some, under the persuasion that an idol is a reality, even yet eat meat, as if it were offered to an idol, and their conscience being weak, is defiled.

¹ Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord-? Are you not my work in the Lord?

⁵ Have we not the right to lead about a sister wife, as the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

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.

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;

⁶ and there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who makes them all effectual in all.

² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

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;

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; ⁴ and that he was buried; and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures;

⁴ and that he was buried; and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures; ⁵ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve; ⁶ after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till this day; but some have fallen asleep.

⁶ after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till this day; but some have fallen asleep. ⁷ After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles. ⁸ Last of all, he was seen by me also, as one untimely born. 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. ¹⁰ But, by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace, which was bestowed on me, has not been bestowed in vain: but I have labored more abundantly than they all; not I, how ever, but the grace of God which was with me. ¹¹ Whether, therefore, I or they, so we preached, and so you believed.

¹¹ Whether, therefore, I or they, so we preached, and so you believed. ¹² But if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that a resurrection of the dead is impossible? ¹³ But if a resurrection of the dead is impossible, Christ has not been raised.

¹³ But if a resurrection of the dead is impossible, Christ has not been raised. ¹⁴ And if Christ has not been raised, then vain is our preaching, and vain also your faith.

¹⁴ And if Christ has not been raised, then vain is our preaching, and vain also your faith. ¹⁵ We are, indeed, also found false witnesses of God; for we have testified against God, that he raised the Christ, whom he did not raise, if, indeed, the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised;

¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised;

¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised; ¹⁷ and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.

¹⁷ and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.

¹⁷ and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins. ¹⁸ Then, also, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

¹⁸ Then, also, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

¹⁸ Then, also, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.

¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable. ²⁰ But now, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who slept.

²⁰ But now, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who slept. ²¹ For, since through man came death, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead.

²¹ For, since through man came death, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For, as in Adam all die, so, also, in Christ shall all be made alive:

²² For, as in Adam all die, so, also, in Christ shall all be made alive: ²³ but each in his own order; Christ the first-fruit, afterward, those who are Christ's at his coming.

³¹ I protest, by the joy which I have over you in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. ³² If, to speak as a man, I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

³⁸ but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body. ³⁹ All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. ⁴⁰ There are also bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial is another. ⁴¹ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. ⁴² So, also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption:

⁴² So, also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption: ⁴³ it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power: ⁴⁴ it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

⁴⁵ So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

⁴⁵ So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit. ⁴⁶ But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual.

⁴⁶ But that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven.

⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven. ⁴⁸ As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be.

⁴⁸ As the earthy man was, such also are the earthy; and as the heavenly man is, such also shall the heavenly be. ⁴⁹ And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

⁴⁹ And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. ⁵⁰ But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

⁵⁰ But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

⁵⁰ But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹ Behold, I declare to you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed

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

⁵¹ Behold, I declare to you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corruptible body must put on incorruptibility; and this mortal body must put on immortality.

⁵³ For this corruptible body must put on incorruptibility; and this mortal body must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ And when this corruptible body shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. ⁵⁵ Death, where is thy sting? Hades, where is thy victory?

¹⁰ If Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do.

⁸ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which came upon us in Asia, that we were exceedingly oppressed, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. ⁹ But we have in ourselves the sentence of death, that we may not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead; ¹⁰ who delivered us from so great a death, and does still deliver us: in whom we have confidence, that he will continue to deliver us, ¹¹ if you also unite in prayer for our aid, that the favor bestowed on us, through the intercession of many persons, may cause thanks to be given by many for us. ¹² For the ground of our rejoicing is this: the testimony of our conscience that we have lived in the world more abundantly, indeed, for you in sincerity and godly purity, not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God.

²⁴ not that we are lords over your faith, but fellow- workers for your joy: for by faith you stand.

¹⁴ Now, thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph in the Christ, and sheds in every place, by us, the fragrance of the knowledge of himself. ¹⁵ For, through God, we are a sweet odor of Christ, among the saved, and among the lost:

⁵ not that we are able, of ourselves, to devise any thing, as from ourselves; but our ability is from God,

¹⁸ And we all, with unvailed face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Lord the Spirit.

⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be God's and not our own. ⁸ We are pressed on all sides, yet not restrained; perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; ¹⁰ always bearing about in our body the violent death of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our body.

¹⁰ always bearing about in our body the violent death of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our body.

¹⁰ always bearing about in our body the violent death of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our body. ¹¹ For we who live are continually delivered up to death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

¹¹ For we who live are continually delivered up to death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

¹¹ For we who live are continually delivered up to death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

¹¹ For we who live are continually delivered up to death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. ¹² So, then, death is active in us, but life in you.

¹² So, then, death is active in us, but life in you. ¹³ But, having the same spirit of faith, according to that winch is written, I believed, and for this reason I have spoken; we also believe, and for this reason we speak, ¹⁴ knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise us up also by Jesus, and present us together with you.

¹ For we know that if our earthly house, which is but a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ² For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house that is from heaven, ³ since, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. ⁴ For we who are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened, not because we wish to be unclothed, but clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

²¹ for he has made him, who knew no sin, a sin-offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

¹ As co-workers with him, we beseech you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain:

⁹ as unknown, yet well-known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and yet not put to death;

¹ Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every pollution of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

⁶ But remember this, that he who sows sparingly, shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully, shall also reap bountifully.

¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

⁷ Do you look on things according to the outward appearance? If any one trusts in himself, that he is Christ s, let him again reason thus of himself: that as he is Christ s, so also are we.

¹² For we do not presume to rank or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves: but they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with them selves, have no understanding. ¹³ But we will not boast ourselves with respect to regions not measured to us; but according to the measure of the line which God, who measures, has appointed for us to reach even to you. ¹⁴ For we do not stretch ourselves too far, as if we did not come to you: for even as far as to you, have we already come in the gospel of the Christ, ¹⁵ not boasting ourselves in the labors of others in regions not measured off to us, but having hope that, when your faith is increased, we shall be magnified among you abundantly, according to our line, ¹⁶ so as to preach the gospel in regions beyond you, and not to boast in regions made ready under another man's line.

⁵ I count myself indeed to be in no respect inferior to the very greatest of the apostles.

²³ Are they ministers of Christ? (I say it foolishly,) I am above them. In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often.

²³ Are they ministers of Christ? (I say it foolishly,) I am above them. In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often.

²³ Are they ministers of Christ? (I say it foolishly,) I am above them. In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often. ²⁴ From the Jews, five times I received forty stripes, save one;

²⁴ From the Jews, five times I received forty stripes, save one; ²⁵ three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three- times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I spent in the deep.

²⁵ three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three- times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I spent in the deep. ²⁶ In journeying s often, in perils from rivers, in perils from robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

²⁶ In journeying s often, in perils from rivers, in perils from robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; ²⁷ in weariness and in toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness:

²⁷ in weariness and in toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness: ²⁸ besides those things which come upon me from other sources, I have a daily concourse of troubles my anxiety for all the churches. ²⁹ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I am not incensed? ³⁰ If I must boast, I will boast in my infirmities.

¹ To boast is not suitable for me; I will come to visions and revelations from the Lord. - ² I knew a man in Christ fourteen years ago; that such a one (whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not: God knows;) was caught away to the third heaven. ³ I also know that such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not: God knows,) ⁴ was caught away to Paradise, and heard words not to be spoken, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. ⁵ Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, unless in my infirmities. ⁶ For though I should choose to boast, I would not be void of understanding: for I will speak the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should think of me more than what he sees me to be, or what he hears of me.

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.

⁴ for though he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

¹⁴ { (13:13) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.} { :}

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

⁶ I am astonished that you are so soon turning away from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel: ⁷ which is nothing else than that there are some who trouble you, and are determined to pervert the gospel of the Christ. ⁸ But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach to you any other gospel than that which we have preached, let him be ac cursed. ⁹ As we said before, so even now I say again, if any one preaches to you any other gospel than that which you have received, let him be accursed. ¹⁰ For, do I now seek the favor of men, or of God? or do I strive to please men? If, indeed, I would still please men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 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.

¹² for neither did I receive it from man, nor was it taught me, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹³ For you have heard of my former mode of life in Judaism, that I greatly persecuted the church of God, and laid it waste;

²³ They had heard only that he who formerly persecuted us was now preaching the faith which he once destroyed.

² And I went up because of a revelation, and communicated to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who are of reputation, lest, by any means, I should run or had run in vain.

⁸ (for he who gave efficiency to Peter, for the apostleship of the circumcision, gave efficiency to me also, as an apostle for the Gentiles,)

⁴ Have you suffered so many things in vain? if, indeed, it be in vain.

¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that does not continue in all things written in the book of the law to do them. ¹¹ But that no one is justified by law in the sight of God, is evident: for the just by faith shall live. ¹² The law, indeed, is not of faith; but he that does these things shall live by them. ¹³ Christ has bought us off from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us: (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:)

¹³ Christ has bought us off from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us: (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:)

¹⁵ Brethren, I speak of things common among men: No one sets a covenant aside, or enjoins any thing additional after it is confirmed, though it be a man's covenant.

¹⁷ And this I affirm, that the covenant which had been before confirmed by God with respect to Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, could not annul so as to make the promise of no effect.

²⁷ for as many of you as have been immersed into Christ, have put on Christ.

²⁹ And if you are Christ s, then you are Abraham's posterity, and heirs according to the promise.

¹¹ fear for you, lest I have bestowed labor upon you in vain.

¹¹ But, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then, the offense of the cross has ceased.

¹⁶ I say this: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

²⁴ Now those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that also shall he reap.

⁹ Let us not become weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

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

⁹ by making known to us the mystery of his will according to his good purpose which he had before established in himself,

¹² that we should be for the praise of his glory; even we, who before had hope in the Christ: ¹³ in whom you also hoped after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom, after you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

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,

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,

⁷ that he might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his grace by his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For by grace you have been saved through the faith; and this matter is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through the faith; and this matter is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:

³ that by revelation was made known to me the mystery, (as I briefly wrote above,

⁷ of which I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God which was given to me, in proportion to the energy of his power: 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,

⁹ But this He ascended what does it mean, but that he also descended into the lower earthly regions? ¹⁰ He that descended is also he that ascended high above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. ¹¹ And he himself gave some to be apostles, and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

¹⁷ This I say, therefore, and appeal to you solemnly in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the other Gentiles walk, in the error of their minds,

²² that, as to your former life, you put off the old man, which is corrupt, according to its deceitful desires, ²³ and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴ and put on the new man, which, according to the will of God, is created in righteousness and true holiness.

²⁴ and put on the new man, which, according to the will of God, is created in righteousness and true holiness.

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.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words: for on account of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

¹⁴ Wherefore, the scripture says: Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light. ¹⁵ See, then, that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise men,

²⁰ giving thanks to our God and Father always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

³² Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church.

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

¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which fruit is by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

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.

¹³ for it is God, who, of his good pleasure, works in you both the will and the power to perform.

¹⁶ holding forth the word of life, that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, nor labor in vain.

³⁰ because for the work of the Christ he was near to death, not regarding his life, that he might supply that which was lacking in your service to me.

³ For we are the circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

⁶ as it respects zeal, persecuting the church; as it respects righteousness which is by law, blameless.

¹⁰ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, by conforming myself to his death,

²⁰ But our citizenship is in heaven, whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ who will transform our humbled body, and make it like his glorious body, according to that power by which he is able to subdue all things to himself.

²¹ who will transform our humbled body, and make it like his glorious body, according to that power by which he is able to subdue all things to himself.

¹³ I am able to do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

¹⁷ Not that I seek a gift; but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

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;

²³ if you continue in the faith, founded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, have been made a minister.

²⁸ whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: ²⁹ to which end I also labor, striving according to his energy, which works in me mightily.

⁴ Now I say this, that no one may deceive you by persuasive words. ⁵ For, though I am absent in flesh, yet I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing to behold your order, and the firmness of your faith in Christ.

⁷ rooted, and built up in him, and strengthened in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

¹² when you were buried with him in immersion, in which you were also raised with him by your faith in the energy of God, who raised him from the dead.

¹ If, then, you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where the Christ sits at the right hand of God; ² mind the things that are above, not the things that are on the earth: ³ for you are dead, and your life is hid with the Christ in God. ⁴ When the Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.

⁴ When the Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.

⁹ Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds, ¹⁰ and have put on the new man, which is renewed for knowledge, ac cording to the image of him that created him; ¹¹ in which new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all and in all.

³ remembering unceasingly your work, which is the result of faith, your labor, the cause of which is love, and your patience, which springs from your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father:

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

¹³ For this reason, also, we thank God without ceasing; be cause, when you received the word of God, as preached by us, you embraced it, not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works in you that believe.

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? -You indeed are our glory and

³ that no one be moved by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this:

⁵ For this reason, when I could no longer contain my self, I sent to know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain.

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,

¹² And may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love to one another and to all, even as we toward 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.

⁵ not in passionate desire, as the Gentiles do, who know not God;

¹³ But concerning those who have fallen asleep, I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that you may not grieve, as others who have no hope.

¹³ But concerning those who have fallen asleep, I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that you may not grieve, as others who have no hope. 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.

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.

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. ¹⁵ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we, the living, who remain till the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep

¹⁵ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we, the living, who remain till the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep 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;

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; ¹⁷ then we, the living who remain, shall, together with them, be caught up in clouds into the air to meet the Lord, and so shall we be ever with the Lord.

³ We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is right, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each other abounds:

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.

¹⁰ and with all the delusion of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order that they might be saved.

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

¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and strengthen you in every good word and work.

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.

¹³ me, I say, who before was a reviler and a persecutor and an overbearing man. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief: ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord was very abundant with faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Assuredly true and worthy of all acceptation is this saying: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

¹⁵ Assuredly true and worthy of all acceptation is this saying: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. ¹⁶ But for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all long-suffering, for an example to those who might afterward believe on him in order to life eternal.

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.

¹⁵ which, in his own times, he will show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

⁹ who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus be fore the times of the ages, ¹⁰ but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has deprived death of its power, and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel;

¹² for which cause I also suffer these things; yet I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have intrusted to him till that day.

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.

¹⁶ But shun profane and vain babblings; for they will make further advance to ungodliness, ¹⁷ and their word will eat as a gangrene: of whom are Hyrnenaeus and Philetus, ¹⁸ who, as it respects the truth, have erred, saying that the resurrection has already taken place; and they overthrow the faith of some.

¹⁸ who, as it respects the truth, have erred, saying that the resurrection has already taken place; and they overthrow the faith of some.

¹² And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

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

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

¹³ But to which of the angels has he said at any time: Sit on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?

¹ Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest we let them glide away.

⁸ thou hast put all things under his feet. For, in putting all things under him, he left nothing that is not put under him: but now we do not yet see all things put under him.

¹⁴ Since, then, the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, partook of the same, that, through his death, he might deprive of power him that has the power of death, that is, the devil;

¹⁴ Since, then, the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, partook of the same, that, through his death, he might deprive of power him that has the power of death, that is, the devil; ¹⁵ and might set free those who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

⁶ but Christ, as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold the confidence and the joy of our hope firm to the end.

¹⁴ For we are partakers of the Christ, if we hold our begun confidence firm to the end;

¹⁴ Seeing, then, that we have a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

¹ For every high priest chosen from among men, is appointed for men, in things pertaining to God, that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:

³ and on account of this, he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to make offering for sins.

¹¹ Of him we have many things to say, and difficult to be explained, if we do say them, since you are slow in understanding. ¹² For though you ought to be teachers, considering the time, yet you have need that some one teach you again what are the first elements of the oracles of God; and you have be come such as have need of milk, and not of strong food.

¹⁰ For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work, and the love which you have shown for his name by having ministered to the saints, and by continuing to minister.

²³ And those priests, indeed, have been many, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office. ²⁴ But this man, because he continues forever, has an unchangeable priest hood. ²⁵ Wherefore, he is able also to save through all time those who come to God by him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. ²⁶ For such a high priest is suited to us, who is holy, harm less, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens; ²⁷ who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. ²⁸ For the law makes men high priests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, makes the Son, who is perfected forever.

²² And, indeed, according to the law, almost all things are cleansed by blood; and without the shedding of blood there is no remission. ²³ It was necessary, therefore, that the copies of the things in the heavens should be consecrated by these sacrifices; but that the heavenly things themselves should be consecrated by better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For the Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, the copies of the true; but he has entered heaven itself, now to present himself in the presence of God for us. ²⁵ Nor has he entered, that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with the blood of another: ²⁶ for then, he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once in the end of the ages, he has appeared in order to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. ²⁷ And, as it is appointed to men once to die, and after this the judgment,

²⁷ And, as it is appointed to men once to die, and after this the judgment, 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.

⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he says: Sacrifice and offering thou hast not desired, but a body thou hast prepared me; ⁶ in whole burnt-offerings and offerings for sin, thou hast had no pleasure. ⁷ Then, said I, Behold, I come, (in the roll of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, God. ⁸ After saying above, Thou didst neither desire, nor take pleasure in sacrifice and offering and whole burnt-offerings and offerings for sin, which are offered according to the law, ⁹ then he said, Behold, I come to do thy will: he takes away the first, that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ By which will, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time. ¹¹ And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: ¹² but after offering one sacrifice for sins, he himself sits continually at the right hand of God,

¹² but after offering one sacrifice for sins, he himself sits continually at the right hand of God,

¹² but after offering one sacrifice for sins, he himself sits continually at the right hand of God, ¹³ henceforth waiting till his enemies be made his footstool.

²³ let us hold fast the unwavering confession of our hope, for he is faithful who has promised;

¹⁵ taking care, lest any one slight the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness spring up and trouble you, and by this many be defiled;

¹⁵ Through him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name. ¹⁶ But forget not to do good, and to be liberal: for with such, sacrifices God is well pleased.

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, ²¹ perfect you in every good work, in order that you may do his will, working in you that which is acceptable in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory from age to age. Amen.

²⁶ If any one among you seems to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

¹⁴ What profit is there, my brethren, if any one say he has faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?

¹⁷ So, also, faith, if it has not works, is dead, being by itself.

²⁰ But will you know, vain man, that faith without works is dead?

²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, has, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, regenerated us for a living hope ⁴ in respect to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for us,

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;

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.

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.

¹⁸ For Christ also once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, having been put to death in flesh, but made alive in spirit;

²² who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having become subject to him.

⁷ But the end of all things is at hand; be sober-minded, therefore, and watchful, that you may pray.

¹² By Sylvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

⁴ through which things very great and precious favors that were promised have been given us, that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through desire: ⁵ so, even for this very purpose, uniting to these things all diligence, add to your faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness; ⁷ and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. ⁸ For if these things be in you, and abound, they cause you to be neither idle, nor unfruitful as it respects the acknowledgment of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he who is wanting in these things is blind, and closes his eyes, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

² and many will follow their dissolute ways, on account of whom the way of truth will be reviled;

¹² But these men, like beasts with out reason, which follow the instinct of nature, and are made to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil of things that they understand not, shall utterly perish in their own corruption,

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. ¹⁹ While they promise them freedom, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for by whatever any man is overcome, he is also enslaved. ²⁰ For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in these, and overcome by them, the last state of such is worse than the first.

⁴ and saying: Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

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.

¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you expect such things, earnestly strive, by being spotless and blameless, to be found by him in peace:

¹⁷ Do you, therefore, beloved, since you know these things be forehand, beware, lest, being led away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness. ¹⁸ But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

¹ THAT which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled concerning the Word of life; ² (the life also was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;) ³ that which we have seen and heard, we declare it to you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

² And he is the expiation for our sins: not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world.

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.

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?

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given us eternal life: and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that has the Son, has life: he that has not the Son of God, has not life.

¹⁰ But these speak evil of the things which they know not: and those things which they know naturally, as animals without reason, in these they corrupt themselves.

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

¹⁸ and I am he that lives; and I was dead, and be hold, I am alive from age to age: and I have the keys of hades and of death.

² And I saw the seven angels that stood before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

¹³ And I saw, and heard an eagle, as he flew in mid-heaven, saying, with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining voices of the trumpets of the three angels which are yet to sound.

¹⁰ And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails; and they had power to hurt men five months.

¹³ And the sixth angel sounded: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God, ¹⁴ saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.

⁹ And the great dragon, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world, was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹¹ And they over came him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives even to death.

⁸ And all that dwell upon the earth will worship him, those whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. ⁹ If any one has an ear, let him hear. ¹⁰ If any one leads into captivity, he shall go into captivity. If any kills with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faithfulness of the saints. ¹¹ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. ¹² And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence; and he causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. ¹³ And he does great signs, and even causes fire to descend from heaven upon the earth in the sight of men. ¹⁴ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth, by means of the signs which he is allowed to do in the presence of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image for the beast which had the wound by the sword, and did live.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying: Write, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from this time. Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.

² And I saw, as it were, a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who had obtained the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. ³ And they sung the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and wonderful are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

³ And the second angel poured out his cup on the sea; and it became blood, like that of a dead man: and every soul in the sea died.

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat on him was called faithful and true, and in righteousness does he judge, and make war. ¹² His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many diadems; and he had a name written which no one knew, but he himself. ¹³ And he was clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies that were in heaven followed him on white horses; and they were clothed in fine linen, white and clean. ¹⁵ And out of his mouth goes a sharp, two-edged sword, that with it he may smite the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treads the wine-press of the fiercest wrath of God, the Almighty. ¹⁶ And he has, on his raiment and on his thigh, a name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords. ¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven. Come, gather yourselves to the great supper of God, ¹⁸ that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of officers, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all, both freemen and servants, both small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, assembled together to make war with him that sat on the horse, and with his army. ²⁰ And the beast was taken, and the false prophet that was with him, who did signs in his presence, with which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast, and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire, which burns with brim stone. ²¹ And the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat on the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

² And he laid hold of the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, ³ and threw him into the abyss, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be completed: and after this he must be loosed for a little while. ⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and the power of judging was given to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God; and of those who had not worshiped the beast, nor his image, and had not received his mark on their forehead, nor on their hand: and they lived and reigned with Christ a thou sand years.

¹⁰ And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are: and they shall be tormented day and night from age to age. 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. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and hades gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged, every one according to his works.

¹³ And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and hades gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged, every one according to his works. ¹⁴ And death and hades were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death.

¹⁴ And death and hades were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death.

¹⁴ And death and hades were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

⁴ And he will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death; neither shall there be any more sorrow, nor crying, nor pain; for the former things have passed away.

⁶ And he said to me: It is done; I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him that thirsts, I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely.

¹ And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him that hears, say, Come; and let him that is thirsty, come; -and let him that is willing, take the water of life freely.
