²⁴ yet may be justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

²⁶ in order to manifest his righteousness at the present time, that he might be just, while he justifies him who believes in Jesus. ²⁷ Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No; but by the law of faith. ²⁸ For we conclude that a man is justified by faith, without deeds of law. ²⁹ Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also the God of the Gen tiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: ³⁰ since there is one God, who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith. ³¹ Do we, then, make law void through the faith? It can not be. On the other hand, we establish law.

⁵ but to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

¹ Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁹ much more, then, since we are now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him.

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

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. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold into bondage to sin.

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.

¹⁷ repay to no one evil for evil; practice that which is honorable in the sight of all men. ¹⁸ If possible, as far as may be in your power, be at peace with all men. ¹⁹ Beloved, avenge not yourselves, but give place to the wrath of God; for it is written: Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

⁷ For no one lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. ⁸ For if we live, we live to the Lord; or if we die, we die to the Lord. "Whether, therefore, we live or die, we are the Lord s. ⁹ For this very purpose, Christ both died and rose, and lived again, that he might have dominion over the dead and the living.

¹⁴ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; but if any one thinks that any thing is unclean, to him it is unclean. ¹⁵ But if your brother is grieved on account of your food, you no longer walk according to love. Do not, with your food, destroy him, for whom Christ died. ¹⁶ Therefore, let not that which is your good be evil spoken of. ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ For he who serves the Christ in these things is acceptable to God, and approved by men. ¹⁹ Therefore, let us seek those things which belong to peace, and those which tend to mutual edification. ²⁰ Destroy not the work of God on account of food. All meats, indeed, are clean; but meat is an evil to that man who, by eating, causes another to stumble. ²¹ It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do any thing by which your brother stumbles, or is ensnared, or is made weak. ²² Have you faith? Have it to yourself before God. Blessed is he who condemns not himself in that which he approves. ²³ But he that doubts is condemned, if he eat, because he eats not with faith. Every thing that is not of faith, is sin.

² to the church of God which is in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

³⁰ But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who has become to us, from God, wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

¹⁶ Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself: if any one among you is considered as wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

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.

¹⁴ I do not write these things that I may make you ashamed; but as my beloved children I admonish you.

¹ It is generally reported that there is lewdness among you; and such lewdness as is not even mentioned among the Gentiles that a certain one has his father's wife.

¹⁰ yet without the lest allusion to the lewd, or the covetous, or the extortioners, or the idolaters of this world; for then you must go out of the world; ¹¹ but now I write to you, not to associate with any one professing to be a brother, if he is lewd or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one not even to eat. ¹² For what right have I to judge those who are without? Do you not judge those who are within?

¹ Does any one of you that has a matter of dispute with another, presume to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? ² Know you not that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy to decide concerning the smallest matters? 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.

⁶ But brother goes to law with brother, and this before the unbelievers? ⁷ Now, certainly, you are altogether in fault, that you have law-suits with one another. Why do you not rather suffer injustice? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

⁷ Now, certainly, you are altogether in fault, that you have law-suits with one another. Why do you not rather suffer injustice? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

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, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor defrauders, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

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:

¹⁵ Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I, then, take the members of the Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? It must not be.

¹⁵ Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I, then, take the members of the Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? It must not be. ¹⁶ Know you not that he that is joined to a harlot, is one body? For the two, says the scripture, shall be one flesh.

¹⁹ Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?

²³ You have been bought with a price; become not the servants of men.

⁴ With respect, then, to the eating of meats offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

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. ⁸ But meat commends us not to God; for, neither if we eat are we better, nor, if we eat not, are we worse. ⁹ But take heed, lest, by any means, this right of yours become a stumbling-block to those who are weak. ¹⁰ For, if any one see you, who have knowledge, reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened, so that he will eat meats offered to idols? ¹¹ and will not the weak brother, for whom Christ died, perish through your knowledge? ¹² But if you sin in this way against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. ¹³ For which reason, if meat cause my brother to fall, I will never eat meat, lest I cause my brother to fall.

¹² If others partake of this right over you, should not we rather? But we have not used this right: but we endure all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of the Christ.

²⁴ Know you not that all the runners in the race-course run the race, but that one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain the prize.

²⁷ but I put my body under severe discipline, and bring it into subjection, lest, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

³ and did all eat the same spiritual food, ⁴ and. did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was the Christ. ⁵ But with the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

²³ All meats are lawful for me; but all are not profitable; all are lawful, but all do not edify. ²⁴ Let no one seek his own, but each the welfare of the other. ²⁵ Any thing that is sold in the market, eat, asking no questions on account of conscience: ²⁶ for the earth and its fullness are the Lord s. ²⁷ If any one of the unbelievers invites you to a feast, and you are disposed to go, eat any thing that is set before you, asking no questions for conscience sake. ²⁸ But if any one say to you: This is sacrificed to idols; eat not, for the sake of him that pointed it out, and for conscience sake: ²⁹ conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. Why, then, is my liberty judged by the conscience of another? ³⁰ If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of on account of that for which I give thanks? ³¹ Whether, therefore, you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

³¹ Whether, therefore, you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ³² Give no occasion for stumbling, either to the Jews, or to the Greeks, or to the church of God; ³³ even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own good, but that of the many, in order that they may be saved.

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.

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

² You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to those dumb idols, as you might be led.

¹³ For by one Spirit we all were immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and we all have been made to drink of one Spirit.

²⁷ Now, you are the body of Christ, and, as individuals, you are members.

³³ for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

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.

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

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.

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

¹ As it respects the collection which is for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so also do you.

¹⁵ I beseech you, brethren, (you know the house of Stephanas, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

¹⁴ knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise us up also by Jesus, and present us together with you.

¹⁸ :

¹⁵ and he died for all, that those who live should no more live for them selves, but for him who died for them, and rose again.

¹⁴ Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? What communion has light with darkness?

¹⁶ What has a temple of God in common with one of idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God has said: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

² for I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you a chaste virgin to Christ.

²¹ lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn over many of those who have already sinned, and have not repented of the uncleanness and lewdness and wantonness which they have committed.

¹⁶ knowing that a man is not justified by works of law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed on Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of law: because, by works of law no flesh shall be justified. ¹⁷ But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are also found sinners, is Christ, there fore, the minister of sin? It can not be.

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ, yet I live; no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

⁸ For the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached beforehand the gospel to Abraham, saying: In you shall all the nations be blessed.

¹¹ But that no one is justified by law in the sight of God, is evident: for the just by faith shall live.

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:)

²¹ Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It can not be. For if a law had been given which could have given life, surely righteousness would have been by law.

²⁴ So, then, the law was our pedagogue that led us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are well known, and they are these lewdness, uncleanness, wantonness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strifes, jealousies, anger, party-spirit, divisions, sects, ²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; with respect to which, I tell you now, as I also told you in times past, that those who practice such things shall riot inherit the kingdom of God.

²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; with respect to which, I tell you now, as I also told you in times past, that those who practice such things shall riot inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

¹⁴ But may I never boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

¹⁹ and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to ward us who believe in accordance with the energy of his mighty power, 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,

¹ Even you, being dead to offenses and sins, ² in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is actively at work in the sons of disobedience: ³ among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the feelings, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others:

²¹ in whom the whole building, compactly fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² in whom you also are builded together, for a dwelling-place of God by his Spirit.

³ earnestly endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ⁴ There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been called in one hope of your calling;

¹² for the complete instruction of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of the Christ,

¹⁵ but speaking truthfully in love, we might grow up in all things, into him who is the head, even the Christ, ¹⁶ from whom the whole body, compactly fitted together, and united by every helping joint, according to the energy in the measure of each part, makes increase of the body, for the building up of itself in love. 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, ¹⁸ darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; ¹⁹ who, being past feeling, have given themselves up to licentiousness, that they may work all manner of uncleanness with greediness. ²⁰ But you have not so learned the Christ, ²¹ if, indeed, you have heard of him, and been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: ²² that, as to your former life, you put off the old man, which is corrupt, according to its deceitful desires,

²⁸ Let him that steals, steal no more: but rather let labor, working with his hands that which is good, that he may have something to give to him that has need.

³ But lewdness, and all manner of uncleanness, or covetousness, let them not be named among you, as it becomes saints; ⁴ nor obscene language, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not becoming; but rather the cheerful words of. a thankful heart. ⁵ For you know this, that no lewd nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and of God.

⁸ For you were formerly darkness; but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light;

²³ for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body.

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of water through the word,

³⁰ because we are members of his body, being of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

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

⁵ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,

¹⁴ Do all things without murmurings and disputings, ¹⁵ that you may be without reproach and Harmless, the children of God, without blame, in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world,

¹⁰ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, by conforming myself to his death, ¹¹ if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

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.

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

²² (all of which are for the destruction of those who use them,) according to the commandments and teachings of men; ²³ and these have a show of wisdom in will-worship and affected humility and neglect of the body, and in no regard for the gratification of the flesh.

⁵ Put to death, therefore, your members that are on the earth, lewdness, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

⁵ Put to death, therefore, your members that are on the earth, lewdness, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; ⁶ on account of these things the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience, ⁷ in which things you also formerly walked when you lived in them.

²⁵ But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done; and there is no respect of persons.

¹³ in order that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness, in the presence of our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

³ For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you keep yourselves from lewdness;

³ For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you keep yourselves from lewdness; ⁴ That each one of you know how to keep his vessel in sanctification and in honor, ⁵ not in passionate desire, as the Gentiles do, who know not God;

⁵ not in passionate desire, as the Gentiles do, who know not God; ⁶ That no one take advantage of or injure his brother in this matter; because the Lord takes vengeance for all such things, as we also told you before, and fully testified:

⁶ That no one take advantage of or injure his brother in this matter; because the Lord takes vengeance for all such things, as we also told you before, and fully testified: ⁷ for God has not called us for uncleanness, but for holiness.

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 See that no one render evil for evil to any, but always pursue that which is good toward one another and toward all.

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God did, from the beginning, choose you to salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth,

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

⁹ knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and for scorners, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers, ¹⁰ for lewd persons, for sodomites, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and for whatever other thing is opposed to sound teaching,

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.

²² Shun youthful desires, and follow righteousness, faithfulness, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

¹⁰ for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age; and he has gone to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

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.

³ For we ourselves also were formerly foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one an other. ⁴ But when the kindness and philanthropy of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior; ⁷ that, being justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

¹¹ For both he that sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all of one Father: for which reason, he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying:

¹² entered, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, once for all, into the most holy, having obtained eternal redemption.

²² let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having; our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water;

³¹ By faith Rabab the harlot perished not with the disobedient, because she had received the spies with peace.

¹⁴ Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord; 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; ¹⁶ lest there be any lewd person, or profane man, as Esau, who, for a single meal, sold his birthright.

¹⁶ lest there be any lewd person, or profane man, as Esau, who, for a single meal, sold his birthright.

⁴ Marriage is honorable among all men, and the bed undefiled; but lewd men and adulterers God will judge.

⁵ Now, if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him.

¹⁶ Be not deceived, my beloved brethren;

²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? ²² Do you see that faith was the moving principle in his works, and by works his faith was made perfect? ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God. ²⁴ Do you see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only? ²⁵ Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

¹³ Who is wise and discreet among you? Let him show, by a good behavior, his works, with the meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom comes not from above, but is earthly, animal, demoniac. ¹⁶ For where envy and strife are, there is commotion, and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And those who cultivate peace, sow for themselves a harvest of righteousness in peace.

¹ Whence come wars and strifes among you? Come they not hence, even of your passions, which war in your members? ² You desire, and you have not; you kill, and are earnestly desirous of having, and yet you can not obtain; you fight and war, and yet you have not, because you ask not. ³ You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your passions.

⁴ Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped your fields, which has been unjustly withheld by you, cries out: and the cries of those who have reaped, have entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.

² elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, in order to obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace be to you, and peace be multiplied.

¹⁸ because you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver or gold, from your vain mode of life received by tradition from your fathers,

²² Having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit, to unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another with a pure heart fervently,

⁵ you, also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, that you may offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you should show forth the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his wonderful light:

¹¹ Beloved, I beseech you, as strangers and sojourners, that you keep yourselves from fleshly desires, which war against the soul,

¹⁹ For this is praiseworthy, if any one, on account of conscience to ward God, endure sorrows, suffering unjustly. ²⁰ For what praise is due, if, when you are punished for your faults, you endure it patiently? But if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you endure it patiently, this is praiseworthy in the- sight of God. ²¹ To this, indeed, you have been called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his footsteps. ²² He did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth. ²³ When he was reviled, he did not revile again; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judges righteously.

⁹ not repaying evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling, but, on the other hand, blessing, since you know that for this end you were called, that you might inherit blessing.

²¹ the likeness of which, even immersion, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the seeking of a good conscience toward God,) does now also save us, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

² so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh, according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God. ³ For the time past of our life should be enough for us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, while we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, revelings, drinkings, and unlawful idolatries.

¹⁵ for no one of you should suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

¹ But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers also among you; and these will stealthily introduce ruinous sects, and deny the Lord that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction:

⁴ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and delivered them over to chains of darkness, to be kept for judgment;

⁹ He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness till now. ¹⁰ He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is in him no cause for offense. ¹¹ He that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness; and he knows not whither he goes, because darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world and its desire passes away: but he that does the will of God, abides forever.

¹¹ For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. ¹² Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and slew his brother: and for what reason did he slay him? because his own works were evil, and his brother s, righteous. ¹³ Wonder not, my brethren, if the world hates you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he that loves not his brother, abides in death. ¹⁵ Whoever hates his brother, is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

⁶ The angels also that kept not their own dominion, but left their proper habitation, he has reserved, in eternal chains under darkness, to the judgment of the great day.

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

¹⁴ And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied with reference to these men, saying: Behold, the Lord comes with his holy myriads, ¹⁵ to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly works, which they have impiously committed, and of all the hard words which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

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,

²⁶ And to him that overcomes, and keeps my works to the end, will I give authority over the nations; ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken in pieces, as I have received from my Father:

²¹ To him that overcomes, I will give to sit with me in my throne, even as I also have overcome, and have taken my seat with my father in his throne.

⁹ And they sung a new song, saying: Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation:

¹⁴ And I said to him: Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who have come out of great affliction, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

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.

⁸ But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the detestable, and murderers and lewd persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, shall have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

¹⁵ With out are dogs and sorcerers and lewd persons and murderers and idolaters, and every one that loves and makes a lie.
