1 Timothy Cross References - Anderson

¹ PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the appointment of God our Savior, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope, ² to Timothy, my true son in the faith; grace, mercy, peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord. ³ As, on going into Macedonia, I besought you to remain in Ephesus, that you might charge some that they teach no other thing, ⁴ nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which produce disputes rather than godly edification, which is in faith; ⁵ (Now the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and out of a good conscience, and out of faith unfeigned: ⁶ which things some not having aimed at, have turned aside to idle disputation, ⁷ desiring to be teachers of law, though under standing neither what they say nor of what they boldly affirm. ⁸ But we know that the law is good, if any one use it lawfully; 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, ¹¹ according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which has been intrusted to me. ¹² And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, because he counted me faithful, and put me into the ministry; 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. 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. ¹⁷ Now to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, be honor and glory from age to age. Amen.) ¹⁸ This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, in accordance with the preceding prophecies concerning you, that by them you may war the good warfare, ¹⁹ holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust from them, as it respects faith have made shipwreck; of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, ²⁰ whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to revile.

³³ Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not swear falsely, but shall pay to the Lord your vows. ³⁴ But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; ³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King: ³⁶ neither shall you swear by your head, for you can not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your word be, Yes, yes; No, no; for whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.

¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One.

²⁷ Which of you, by his anxiety, can add one span to his life?

¹³ But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, and not sacrifice. For I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to repentance.

¹⁶ Alas for you, blind guides! who say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, becomes a debtor. ¹⁷ Fools and blind! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold? ¹⁸ And, Whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gift that is on it, becomes a debtor. ¹⁹ Fools and blind! for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift? ²⁰ Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all that is on it. ²¹ And whoever swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him that dwells in it. ²² And he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits upon it. ²³ Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, its justice, its mercy, and its faithfulness. These you ought to have done, and those you ought not to have neglected. ²⁴ Blind guides! who strain out a gnat, but swallow a camel.

²⁸ And one of the scribes came, and heard them reasoning together; and perceiving that he had answered them well, he asked him: Which is the first commandment of all? ²⁹ And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. ³⁰ And you shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind, and with your whole strength. This is the first commandment. ³¹ And the second, which is like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as your self. There is no other commandment greater than these. ³² And the scribe said to him: Teacher, in truth you have well said, that there is one God, and there is no other beside him; ³³ and to love him with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices. ³⁴ And Jesus perceiving that he answered with understanding, said to him: You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no one, after that, ventured to ask him a question.

⁴⁷ and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior;

But he to whom little is forgiven, loves little. ⁴⁸ And he said to her: Your sins are forgiven. ⁴⁹ And those who reclined at table with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that also forgives sins? ⁵⁰ But he said to the woman: Your faith has saved you; go in peace.

⁴⁷ And that servant who knew his lord's will, but made no preparation, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

¹³ And the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner. ¹⁴ I say to you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For every one that exalts himself, shall be humbled; but he that humbles himself, shall be exalted.

⁷ And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying: He has gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. ⁸ And Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken from any one by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. ⁹ And Jesus said to him: To-day has salvation come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. ¹⁰ For the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹⁵ that whoever believes on him may not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through him, might be saved.

³⁶ He that believes on the Son has eternal life. But he that believes not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

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.

³⁷ All that the Father gives me, will come to me; and him that comes to me, I will by no means cast out.

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;

⁴⁴ You are of your father, the devil; and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the be ginning, and stood not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks that which is false, he speaks from what is his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

³⁹ And Jesus said: For judgment have I come into this world, that those who see not, may see; and that those who see, may become blind. ⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees who were with him, heard these things, and said to him: Are we also blind? ⁴¹ Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.

⁴⁷ And if any one hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance you did this, as did also your rulers.

²⁶ To you first, God, having raised up his Son Jesus, has sent him to bless you, in turning every one of you away from his iniquities.

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

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

¹³ But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem;

¹ And certain men came down from Judea, and taught the brethren, saying: Unless you be circumcised, according to the custom of Moses, you can not be saved.

⁹ and he made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

¹¹ But we believe that we shall be saved, even as they, through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹ And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess, who was a believer; but his father was a Greek. ² A good report was given of him by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. ³ This man Paul wished to go with him: and he took him and circumcised him, on account of the Jews that were in those places: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

¹⁵ And when she and her household had been immersed, she be sought us, saying: If you judge me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and make it your home. And she con strained us.

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, ² said to them: Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? They said to him: We have not only not received it, but we have not even heard whether the Holy Spirit is given. ³ And he said to them: Into what, then, were you immersed? They replied: Into John's immersion. ⁴ And Paul said: John immersed with the immersion of repentance, saying to the people, that they must believe on him who should come after him, that is, on the Christ, Jesus. ⁵ And when they heard this, they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied. ⁷ And all the men were about twelve. ⁸ And he entered the synagogue, and spoke boldly, reasoning, and persuading them for three months, with respect to the things of the kingdom of God. ⁹ But as some were hardened, and did not believe, and spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he withdrew from them, and separated the disciples, and discoursed daily in the school of one Tyrannus. ¹⁰ This continued for two years; so that all that dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

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.

⁴ And I persecuted this way to the death, binding and delivering into prison both men and women,

¹ And Paul, looking earnestly upon the Sanhedrin, said: Brethren, I have lived in all good conscience toward God to this day.

¹⁶ And I do exercise myself in this, always to have a conscience void of offense toward God and man.

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, ¹⁷ delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom now I send you, ¹⁸ in order to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among the sanctified, by faith in me.

¹ PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

⁷ to all that are in Rome, be loved of God, called saints: Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁰ (for, since the creation of the world, his attributes, which are invisible, are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity,) that they may be without excuse;

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.

²⁶ For this reason, God delivered them over to vile passions: for their females exchanged their natural use for that which is against nature:

³⁰ whisperers, evil-speakers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents;

⁴ Or, do you despise the riches of his goodness, and his forbearance, and his long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? ⁵ But, according to your hard and impenitent heart, you treasure up to yourself wrath for a day of wrath, and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

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.

¹⁹ if you are also confident that you yourself are a guide for the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of the simple, a teacher of the unlearned, because you have the form of true knowledge in the law; ²¹ you, then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?

²⁴ yet may be justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; 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; ²⁶ in order to manifest his righteousness at the present time, that he might be just, while he justifies him who believes in Jesus.

¹³ For the promise that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, nor to his posterity, through law, but through the righteousness of faith.

⁶ For when we were yet without strength, at the appointed time, Christ died for the ungodly.

⁸ But God makes known his love to us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us: ⁹ much more, then, since we are now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him. 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.

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. 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:

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.

¹⁴ For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under law, but under grace.

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

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.

¹⁶ If, then, I do that which I wish not to do, I give assent to the law, that it is good.

¹⁸ For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good; for to will is present with me; but to perform that which is good, I find not.

²² For, in the inward man, I delight in the law of God:

¹ I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me testimony in the Holy Spirit,

⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for justification, to every one that believes.

³⁰ For as you formerly did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy through their unbelief; ³¹ so, also, these have not now believed, that through the mercy shown to you, they also may obtain mercy.

³⁶ For from him, and by him, and for him, are all things. To him be glory through the ages! Amen.

² And be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may learn what the will of God is the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect.

⁸ Owe no one any thing, except to love one another; for he that loves another, has fulfilled the law. ⁹ For these commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not indulge evil desire; and if there is any other commandment, all are summed up in this saying, namely: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ¹⁰ Love works no evil to our neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.

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.

⁴ For the things which were formerly written, were written for our instruction, that we, through the patience and the comfort which the scriptures give, might have hope.

¹² And again, Isaiah says: There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to rule the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust. ¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in the hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit. PAET IV. Conclusion.

²⁰ The God of peace will soon bruise Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you

²⁷ to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory throughout the ages. Amen.

¹ PAUL, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sostlienes my brother,

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.

¹⁴ I do not write these things that I may make you ashamed; but as my beloved children I admonish you. ¹⁵ For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet you have not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. ¹⁶ I exhort you, therefore, be imitators of me. ¹⁷ For. this reason have I sent to you Timothy, who is my son, beloved and faithful in the Lord, that he may remind you of my ways that are in Christ, as I teach everywhere, in every church.

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you and my spirit have come together, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵ that we deliver such a one over to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

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.

²⁵ But with respect to virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment as one that is enabled, by the mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.

¹ Now, with respect to meats offered to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up with pride, but love edifies. ² If any one thinks that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet, as he ought to know it: ³ but if any one loves God, he is taught by him).

¹⁷ For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, an apostolic stewardship has been intrusted to me.

¹⁹ for there must be sects among you, that the approved may be made known among you.

³² but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

¹ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of an gels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

¹ Cultivate love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.

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.

¹ PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy my brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia:

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.

⁵ not that we are able, of ourselves, to devise any thing, as from ourselves; but our ability is from God, ⁶ who has made us able ministers of the new covenant, not of letter, but. of spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit makes alive.

⁸ how shall not the ministering of the spirit be more glorious? ⁹ For if the ministering of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministering of righteousness surpass in glory. ¹⁰ For that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that surpasses. ¹¹ For if that which was to come to an end was glorious, much more that which is to remain is glorious.

¹ Wherefore, having this ministry, inasmuch as we have received mercy, we faint not;

⁴ whose unbelieving minds the god of this age has darkened, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine to them.

⁶ Because God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the person of Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ And all these things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ that is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to him self, not charging their offenses to them, and he has committed to us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ Therefore, we act as ambassadors for Christ, as though God entreated through us; we beseech in Christ's stead, be reconciled to God:

⁹ Now I rejoice not that you were made sorry, but that you sorrowed in order to repentance. For you sorrowed in a way acceptable to God, that you might in nothing receive injury from us. ¹⁰ For godly sorrow works repentance not to be regretted, which leads to salvation: but the sorrow of the world works death.

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet, for your sakes, he became poor, that you, through his poverty, might become rich.

³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, ⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty, through God, for the overthrowing of strongholds,)

⁶ and being ready to take vengeance on all disobedience, when your obedience shall have been fully established.

⁹ and he said to me: My grace is sufficient for you; for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may abide upon me. ¹⁰ For this reason, I take pleasure in infirmities, in outrages, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁰ For this reason, I write these things, while absent, that I may not, when present, use severity, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification, and not for destruction.

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.} { :}

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

³ grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁶ I am astonished that you are so soon turning away from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel:

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.

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.

¹¹ But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which is preached by me, is not according to man:

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;

⁷ but; on the other hand, seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision,

² This only I wish to learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

⁵ He that supplies to you the Spirit, and works mighty deeds among you, does he this by works of law or by the hearing of faith?

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:) ¹⁴ in order that the blessing of Abraham may come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

¹⁹ What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added on account of transgressions, (till the offspring should come, to whom the promise was made,) having been appointed through the service of angels, in the hand of a mediator.

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.

²¹ Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not understand the law?

³ I testify indeed again to every man that is circumcised, that he is bound to do the whole law. ⁴ You that are justified by law, have withdrawn from Christ: you have fallen from grace.

⁴ You that are justified by law, have withdrawn from Christ: you have fallen from grace.

⁶ For, in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith that works by love.

¹³ For you have been called to freedom, brethren: only use not your freedom as an occasion for the flesh, but become servants to one another, through love. ¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one commandment, in this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

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.

⁶ for the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he has shown us favor in the Beloved, ⁷ in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace, ⁸ which he has made to abound to us in all wisdom and understanding,

¹² that we should be for the praise of his glory; even we, who before had hope in the Christ:

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 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,

¹⁰ to the end that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known, through the church, to the principalities and authorities in the heavenly regions,

²⁰ Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to his power which works in us, ²¹ to him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, through out all the generations of the age of ages. Amen.

¹² for the complete instruction of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of the Christ, ¹³ till we all come to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature that fully develops the Christ; ¹⁴ that we might no longer be children, tossed and carried about by every wind of teaching, through the artifice of men, through craftiness used by them for the deliberate planning of deceit;

¹⁴ that we might no longer be children, tossed and carried about by every wind of teaching, through the artifice of men, through craftiness used by them for the deliberate planning of deceit; 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.

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. 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.

¹² for our conflict is not with flesh and blood, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the rulers of the darkness of this world, with the wicked spirits in the heavenly regions. ¹³ Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand them in the evil day, and having overcome them all, to stand firm. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, having your loins girded about with truth, and wearing the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having your feet shod with that preparation for defense supplied by the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ taking up, over all, the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one: ¹⁷ and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: ¹⁸ praying with all prayer and supplication, at all times, in the Spirit; and to this end being watchful in all perseverance, and supplication for all the saints:

¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁹ But I trust in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy shortly to you, that I also may be refreshed by knowing your condition; ²⁰ for I have no one of a kindred spirit who will sincerely care for your condition: ²¹ for all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ. ²² But you know his approved character, that as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

²² But you know his approved character, that as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

²⁴ But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

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

¹⁸ For many walk, of whom I often said to you, and now say even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of the Christ, ¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.

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

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature;

²⁵ of which I was made a minister according to the commission from God, which was given to me for you, that I might fully preach the word of God,

²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

⁶ As, therefore, you received Christ Jesus our Lord, so walk in him, ⁷ rooted, and built up in him, and strengthened in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. ⁸ See that no one make you the victims of imposture by means of philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not ac cording to Christ: ⁹ for in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhood bodily. ¹⁰ And you are complete in him who is the head of all principality and authority: ¹¹ in whom you have been also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

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:

⁴ but as God had judged us worthy to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who tries our hearts.

² and we sent Timothy our brother and minister of God in the gospel of the Christ, in order that he might strengthen and comfort you with respect to your faith,

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

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.

⁸ and then shall that lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy by the spirit of his mouth, and will utterly over throw by the brightness of his coming:

¹⁶ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us, and given us eternal consolation and good hope through grace,

¹⁵ and yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

² to Timothy, my true son in the faith; grace, mercy, peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

¹¹ according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which has been intrusted to me.

¹¹ according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which has been intrusted to me. ¹² And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, because he counted me faithful, and put me into the ministry;

¹² And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, because he counted me faithful, and put me into the ministry; 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:

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.

¹⁸ This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, in accordance with the preceding prophecies concerning you, that by them you may war the good warfare, ¹⁹ holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust from them, as it respects faith have made shipwreck; of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander,

³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

⁷ to give which testimony I have been appointed a preacher and an apostle; (I speak the truth, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faithfulness and in truth.

¹ This is a true saying: If any desires the office of a bishop, he desires a good work.

⁹ holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

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.

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

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving;

⁶ By recommending these things to the attention of the brethren, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, being nourished with the words of the faith, and of good teaching, which you have fully known. ⁷ But reject those profane and oldwomanish fables, and exercise yourself for godliness.

⁹ This is a true saying, and worthy of all acceptation: ¹⁰ for to this end we both labor, and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. ¹¹ These things command and teach.

¹⁴ Neglect not the gift that is in you, which was given you according to prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

⁷ These things also give in charge, that they may be blameless.

¹⁵ For some have already turned aside after Satan.

³ If any one teaches other things, and does not assent to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching which is according to godliness,

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

⁴ he is mad with conceit, knowing nothing, but has a morbid fondness for questions and contentions about words, out of which come envy, strife, railing, evil suspicions, ⁵ and wranglings, on the part of men who are corrupt in mind, and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a source of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

⁹ But those who will be rich fail into temptation and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful desires, which drown men in destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is the root of all evil; through the desire of which, some have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. ¹¹ But do you, man of God, shun these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, patience, meekness. ¹² Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold on eternal life, to which you have been called, and for which you confessed the good confession before many witnesses. ¹³ I charge you, in the sight of God, who makes all things alive, and before Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, confessed a good confession, ¹⁴ that you keep this commandment, so that you may be spotless and blameless till the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ which, in his own times, he will show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

¹⁵ which, in his own times, he will show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; ¹⁶ who alone has immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man has seen, nor can see, tn whom be honor and power eternal. Amen. ¹⁷ Charge those who are rich in this age, that they be not proud, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us all things richly for our enjoyment,

²⁰ Timothy, keep that which is committed to your charge, avoiding those profane and empty babblings, and disputations about knowledge falsely so called;

²⁰ Timothy, keep that which is committed to your charge, avoiding those profane and empty babblings, and disputations about knowledge falsely so called; ²¹ by making a profession of this knowledge, some have erred as it respects the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

²¹ by making a profession of this knowledge, some have erred as it respects the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

² to Timothy my beloved son; grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord. ³ I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, after the custom of my forefathers, that, without ceasing, I have remembrance of you in my prayers night and day,

⁵ for I remember the unfeigned faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and in your mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it dwells in you also.

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; ¹¹ to which I have been appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles;

¹¹ to which I have been appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles;

¹³ Hold fast the form of sound words which you have heard from me, in faithfulness and in love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ That good thing which was intrusted to you, keep by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.

¹ Do you, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus;

¹ Do you, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus; ² and the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses, these do you commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

² and the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses, these do you commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. ³ Do you, there fore, suffer evil, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ Every one that serves as a soldier keeps himself free from the business of this life, that he may please him that has chosen him to be a soldier. ⁵ And if any one also contend in the public games, he is not crowned, unless he contend according to the laws.

⁵ And if any one also contend in the public games, he is not crowned, unless he contend according to the laws.

¹¹ Assuredly true is the saying: If indeed we have died with him, we shall also live with him;

¹⁴ Put them in mind of these things, charging them before the Lord that they dispute not about words to no profit, which disputes end in the overthrow of the hearers.

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,

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.

¹ But know this, that in the last days trying times will come. ² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³ without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, haters of those who are good, ⁴ traitors, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, ⁵ having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from these also turn away. ⁶ For of this sort are those who worm themselves into houses, and lead captive silly women that are laden with sins, and influenced by various desires, ⁷ that are always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

¹ I charge you, therefore, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom, ² preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching. ³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound teaching, but according to their own desires they will pro cure for themselves an abundance of teachers to gratify their itching ears:

³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound teaching, but according to their own desires they will pro cure for themselves an abundance of teachers to gratify their itching ears: ⁴ and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and be turned to fables.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith:

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

¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord repay him according to his works. ¹⁵ Do you, also, beware of him, for he has greatly withstood our words.

¹⁷ but the Lord stood by me, and gave me strength, that through me that which is preached might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledgement of the truth, which is according to godliness;

¹⁰ For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, ¹¹ whose mouths must be stopped: these subvert whole houses by teaching, for the sake of base gain, things which they ought not to teach.

¹³ This testimony is true; wherefore rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ and not give heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that turn away from the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure, all things are pure: but to the denied and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their mind and their conscience are denied. ¹⁶ They profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him, being detestable and disobedient, and, as it respects every good work, rejected.

¹ But do you speak the things that become sound teaching; ² that the aged men be vigilant, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

¹⁰ not stealing, but showing all good faithfulness, that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in all things.

¹³ looking for the blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

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,

⁶ which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

⁸ This saying is true, and in respect to these things, I will that you affirm strongly, in order that those who have believed in God may be careful to practice good works: these are the things that are honorable and profitable for men. ⁹ But foolish questions and genealogies and strifes and contentions about the law, avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.

¹⁰ I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds,

⁸ But to the Son: Thy throne, God, is from age to age: a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of thy kingdom. ⁹ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. ¹⁰ And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning, didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands. ¹¹ They shall perish; but thou remainest: and they all shall grow old as a garment; ¹² and as a mantle thou shalt fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 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?

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

¹⁶ Let us come, therefore, with boldness, to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in every time of need.

⁴ For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁴ how much more will the blood of the Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works, in order that you may serve the living God?

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;

²⁶ For if we sin willfully, after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no longer a sacrifice for sins; ²⁷ but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and a fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. ²⁸ He that despised Moses law, died without mercy, on the testimony of two or three witnesses: ²⁹ of how much severer punishment do you think he shall be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, a common thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace?

⁵ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death, and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had the testimony that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king: for he patiently endured, as seeing him that is invisible.

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

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.

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

¹⁸ Pray for us: for we trust that we have a good conscience, willing to live honor ably in all things.

⁸ draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded men.

¹⁰ who formerly were not a people, but now are the people of God; who had not received mercy, but now have received mercy.

¹⁵ but reverence the Lord God in your hearts, and be always ready to answer every one that asks of you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; ¹⁶ having a good conscience, that, inasmuch as they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who traduce your good con duct in Christ.

¹⁶ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eye-witnesses of his majesty.

¹ But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers also among you; and these will stealthily introduce ruinous sects, and deny the Lord that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction: ² and many will follow their dissolute ways, on account of whom the way of truth will be reviled; ³ and, with delusive words, they will, through covetousness, make gain of you: the condemnation, long ago denounced against these, delays not, and their destruction does not slumber.

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,

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, ¹³ and receive the reward of unrighteousness. Counting it a pleasure to riot in the day-time, they are spots and stains, rioting in their delusions, while feasting with you; ¹⁴ having eyes that are full of the adulteress, and that can not cease from sin, deceiving unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousness, accursed children, ¹⁵ who have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; ¹⁶ but he was rebuked for his iniquity, the dumb beast, speaking with man's voice, restrained the madness of the prophet. ¹⁷ These men are fountains without water, clouds driven by a tempest, for whom the gloom of darkness is reserved forever. 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. ²¹ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: The dog has turned again to his own vomit; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

⁹ The Lord does not delay concerning his promise, as some men count delay, but he is long-suffering toward us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

¹⁵ and count the long-suffering of our Lord, salvation, even as our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, has written to you;

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

⁵ And you know that he was manifested, that he might take away our sins; and in him there is no sin.

⁸ He that works sin is of the devil, for the devil sins from the beginning: for this purpose was the son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

²³ And this is his commandment: That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one an other, as he gave us commandment.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God: and every one that loves, has been begotten of God, and knows God. ⁸ He that loves not, does not know God; for God is love. ⁹ In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

⁹ In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.

¹⁰ In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.

¹⁰ In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹² No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.

¹² No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us. ¹³ By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen, and we do testify, that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the. world.

¹⁴ And we have seen, and we do testify, that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the. world.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given us eternal life: and this life is in his Son.

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.

⁷ For many deceivers have entered into the world, who con fess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh: this is the deceiver and the antichrist.

⁹ Whoever transgresses, and abides not in the teaching of the Christ, has not God: he that abides in the teaching of the Christ, has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not wish him well:

⁷ So Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities which were about them, in like manner giving themselves over to lewdness, and following after other flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

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. ¹¹ Alas for them! for they have gone in the way of Cain: and, in the error of Balaam, they have rushed headlong after reward, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah. 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: - ¹³ raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame: wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved forever.

²⁵ :

¹ To the angel of the church in Ephesus, write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, that walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; ² I know your works, and your labor, and your patience; and that you can not bear with those who are evil, and that you have tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars;

¹⁴ Yet I have a few things against you, that you have there those who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to practice lewdness.

²⁰ But I have against you that you suffer that woman Jezebel, who calls her self a prophetess, and teaches and deceives my servants to practice lewdness, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

³ Remember, therefore, how you have received and heard, and be watchful and repent. If, therefore, you do not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

⁸ I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door that no one is able to shut, because you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.

¹⁰ Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of trial that is about to come on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.

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

⁸ And the four living creatures had each of them six wings about him; and they are full of eyes within; and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come. ⁹ And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him that sits on the throne, who lives from age to age, ¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fall down before him that sits on the throne, and worship him that lives from age to age, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying: Thou art worthy, Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and by thy will they exist, and were created. ¹¹ :

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:

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: ¹⁰ and hast made us to our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth. ¹¹ And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands. ¹² And they said, with a loud voice: Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing. ¹³ And every creature that is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are on the sea, even all that are in them, I heard saying: To him that sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and strength from age to age. ¹⁴ And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down, and worshiped.

¹⁰ and they cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb. ¹¹ And all the angels stood round about the throne and the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne, and worshiped God, ¹² saying, Amen: blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God from acre to acre. Amen.

¹² saying, Amen: blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God from acre to acre. Amen.

¹ { And I stood on the sand of the sea, and saw a beast coming up out of the sea, and he had seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten diadems, and on his heads names impiously irreverent.}

⁵ And there was given him a mouth that spoke great things and impious words; and authority was given to him to continue forty-two months. ⁶ And he opened his mouth in impious speeches against God, to utter impious words against his name, and his tabernacle, and against those who dwell in heaven.

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.

¹⁴ These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.

¹³ and cinnamon and amomum and incense, and ointment and frankincense, and wine and oil, and fine flour and wheat, and beasts and sheep, and horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.

¹ After these things, I heard the great voice of a vast multitude in heaven, saying: Alleluia; Salvation and glory and honor and power to our God:

⁶ And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying: Alleluia; for the Lord God the Almighty reigns.

¹⁶ And he has, on his raiment and on his thigh, a name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords.

⁵ And he that sat upon the throne said: Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me: Write, for these words are true and faithful.

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.

²⁷ And there shall not enter it any thing unclean, or that does what is detestable, or that makes a lie: but those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

⁶ And he said to me: These words are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to show his servants the things that must shortly take place.

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

²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints.
