Ephesians 5 Cross References - Anderson

¹ Be you, therefore, imitators of God, as beloved children; ² and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave him self for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor. 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. ⁷ Therefore, be not partakers with them. ⁸ For you were formerly darkness; but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light; ⁹ (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) ¹⁰ learning what is acceptable to the Lord; ¹¹ and do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; ¹² for it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by them in secret. ¹³ But all these works, when reproved, are made manifest by the light: for every thing that makes manifest is light. ¹⁴ Wherefore, the scripture says: Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light. ¹⁵ See, then, that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise men, ¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Wherefore, be not ignorant, but understand what the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit; ¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, ²⁰ giving thanks to our God and Father always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; ²¹ being subject one to another in the fear of God. ²² Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord: ²³ for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of water through the word, ²⁷ in order that he might present it to himself a glorious church, having neither stain, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; ²⁹ for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Christ the church: 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. ³² Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church. ³³ But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.

⁷ Now they know that all things that thou hast given me are from thee;

²¹ because, when they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful; but they became perverse in their reasonings, and their wicked heart was darkened; 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. ²⁴ For which reason God delivered them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, that they might dishonor their bodies among themselves;

²⁴ For which reason God delivered them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, that they might dishonor their bodies among themselves; ²⁵ who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

²⁵ who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. ²⁶ For this reason, God delivered them over to vile passions: for their females exchanged their natural use for that which is against nature:

²⁶ For this reason, God delivered them over to vile passions: for their females exchanged their natural use for that which is against nature: ²⁷ and in like manner also the males, leaving the natural use of the females, burned in their lusts one toward another, males with males practicing infamous lewdness, and receiving in them selves the due reward of their error.

²⁷ and in like manner also the males, leaving the natural use of the females, burned in their lusts one toward another, males with males practicing infamous lewdness, and receiving in them selves the due reward of their error. ²⁸ And as they refused to acknowledge God, God delivered them up to an undiscerning mind, to do detestable things;

²⁸ And as they refused to acknowledge God, God delivered them up to an undiscerning mind, to do detestable things; ²⁹ as they were filled with all unrighteousness, lewdness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity;

²⁹ as they were filled with all unrighteousness, lewdness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity; ³⁰ whisperers, evil-speakers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents; ³¹ without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;

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.

⁵ so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and members one of another.

¹ Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority but from God: the authorities that are, have been appointed by God. ² Therefore, he that resists the authority, resists the appointment of God; and those who resist shall receive to themselves condemnation. ³ For rulers are not a terror to works that are good, but to those which are evil. Will you, then, not be afraid of the authority? Do that which is good, and you shall receive praise from the same. ⁴ For he is the minister of God to you for that which is good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain. For he is the minister of God to inflict punishment on him that does evil. ⁵ Wherefore, it is necessary to be subject, not only because of punishment, but also for conscience sake.

¹¹ And do this, because you know the time, that the hour has already come when we should awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed:

¹¹ And do this, because you know the time, that the hour has already come when we should awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed: ¹² the night is far advanced, the day draws near. Let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

¹² the night is far advanced, the day draws near. Let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ¹³ Let us walk in a becoming manner, as in the day; not in riotings and in drunkenness, not in lewdness and in wantonness, not in. contention and in envy:

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.

¹⁸ For he who serves the Christ in these things is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

¹⁴ And I myself am persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that you yourselves are full of all goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also to instruct one another.

² that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of saints, and that you aid her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she has aided many, and myself also.

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark those who make divisions and cause offenses in opposition to the teaching which you have learned, and avoid them.

⁴ I thank my God always on your account, for the grace of God which is given to you in Christ Jesus;

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

⁵ So, then, judge nothing be fore the time, till the Lord comes, who will bring to light the secret works of darkness, and will also make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall each have his praise from God.

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.

⁷ Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new mass, as you are without leaven; for Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed for us.

⁹ I have written to you in the letter not to associate with lewd persons; 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.

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.

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.

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor defrauders, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our 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. 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.

¹⁸ Shun lewdness. Every sin that a man commits, is without the body; but he that is guilty of lewdness sins against his own body.

²⁶ I think, then, that this is good for the present affliction that it is good for a man to be as he is.

²⁹ Now, this I say, brethren, the time is fraught with trials. It remains that those who have wives be as though they had them not; ³⁰ and those who weep, as though they wept not; and those who rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those who buy, as though they possessed not: ³¹ and those who use this world, as not abusing it; for the outward show of this world passes away.

⁸ Nor let us be guilty of lewdness, as some of them were guilty, and fell, in one day, twenty-three thou sand.

²⁰ But I say, that the things which the Gen tiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. I do not wish you to be partakers with demons. ²¹ You can not drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: you can not be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

³ But I wish you to know, that the head of every man is the Christ, and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. ⁴ Every man that prays or prophesies, having his head covered, dishonors his head. ⁵ But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered, dishonors her head: for it is one and the same as if she was shaved. ⁶ For if a woman has no vail on, let her also be shaved. But if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her have a vail. ⁷ For a man ought not to vail his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸ For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man: ⁹ for the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. ¹⁰ For this reason ought the woman to have a token of subjection on her head, on account of the angels.

²¹ for each one, in eating, takes before another, his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

¹² For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ. ¹³ For by one Spirit we all were immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and we all have been made to drink of one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot shall say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body? ¹⁶ And if the ear shall say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? ¹⁸ But now God has placed the members, each of them, in the body, as it has pleased him. ¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where were the body? ²⁰ But now there are many members, but one body. ²¹ The eye can not say to the hand: I have no need of you; or again, the head to the feet: I have no need of you. ²² But much more are those members of the body necessary, which seem to be more feeble. ²³ And those members of the body, which, we think, are less honorable, around these we place the more abundant honor; and our uncomely members have the more abundant comeliness: ²⁴ for our comely members have no need. But God has so arranged the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which is deficient, ²⁵ that there may be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same anxious care, one for another; ²⁶ and if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. ²⁷ Now, you are the body of Christ, and, as individuals, you are members.

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

²⁶ What, then, is it, brethren? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has something to teach, has an unknown tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

³⁴ Let your women keep silence in the assemblies; for they ire not permitted to speak; but they must be in subjection, as also says the law.

³⁴ Awake, as you should, to soberness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

¹⁴ Let every thing be done by you in love.

¹⁶ that you submit yourselves to such, and to every one that works and labors with us.

¹¹ if you also unite in prayer for our aid, that the favor bestowed on us, through the intercession of many persons, may cause thanks to be given by many for us.

¹⁵ For, through God, we are a sweet odor of Christ, among the saved, and among the lost:

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

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.

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

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constrains us, because we have this judgment that if one died for all, then have all died: 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?

¹⁴ Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? What communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵ What agreement has Christ with Belial? What connection has a believer with an unbeliever? 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. ¹⁷ For this reason, come out from among them, and separate yourselves, says the Lord, and touch not an unclean person, and I will receive you; ¹⁸ and I will be to you a father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

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

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.

¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

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.

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

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.

¹ Thoughtless Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been plainly set forth crucified?

³ Are you so thoughtless? After having begun in Spirit, do you make an end in flesh?

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.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are well known, and they are these lewdness, uncleanness, wantonness,

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.

²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; with respect to which, I tell you now, as I also told you in times past, that those who practice such things shall riot inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness,

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

²³ meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law. ²⁴ Now those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that also shall he reap. ⁸ For he that sows for his flesh shall from the flesh, reap corruption; but he that sows for his spirit shall from the Spirit reap life eternal.

⁸ For he that sows for his flesh shall from the flesh, reap corruption; but he that sows for his spirit shall from the Spirit reap life eternal.

¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, but especially to those who are the household of the faith.

⁴ according as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love,

¹⁶ do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

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,

²³ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all his members with all things,

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:

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:

⁵ made alive with Christ even us, being dead to our offenses, (by grace you are saved,)

¹¹ For which reason, remember that you were formerly Gen tiles, by natural descent, and that you are called Uncircumcision by the Circumcision; so called, from a mark made in the flesh by hands; ¹² that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the community of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and having no God in the world:

⁶ that the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in the Christ, through the gospel,

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through the faith;

¹⁹ and to know the love of the Christ that passes our knowledge, that you may be filled with aft the fullness of God.

² with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love,

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

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,

²² that, as to your former life, you put off the old man, which is corrupt, according to its deceitful desires,

²⁵ For which reason, putting away lying, speak, every one, truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

²⁹ Let no impure speech come out of your mouth, but whatever is good for needful edification, that it may give grace to the hearers:

³² and be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.

² and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave him self for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor. 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.

⁷ Therefore, be not partakers with them.

¹¹ and do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; ¹² for it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by them in secret.

¹⁵ See, then, that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise men,

¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, ²⁰ giving thanks to our God and Father always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

²² Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord:

²² Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord:

²⁴ But as the church is subject to the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it,

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of water through the word,

²⁸ So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself;

²⁸ So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; ²⁹ for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Christ the church:

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.

³³ But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.

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;

¹⁷ and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

¹⁹ and for me, that speech may be given me, in opening my mouth with boldness, that I may make known the mystery of the gospel,

³ I thank my God on every remembrance of you

¹⁰ in order that you may distinguish things that differ, to the end that you may be pure and blameless till the day of Christ, ¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which fruit is by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

²⁷ Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of the Christ, that, whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,

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

⁶ Be anxious about nothing, but in every thing, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God:

¹⁸ But I have all, and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus your gifts, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.

⁹ For this reason, we also, from the day in which we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to request that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

¹¹ strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, in order to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness, ¹² giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light: ¹³ who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

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

²² by means of death in his fleshly body, that he may present you holy, and without spot, and blameless in his sight;

²⁸ whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

² that their hearts may be comforted, they being firmly united in love in order to gain all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may acknowledge the mystery of God, even the Father, and of Christ,

⁴ Now I say this, that no one may deceive you by persuasive words.

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:

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

¹ If, then, you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where the Christ sits at the right hand of God;

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,

⁸ But now do you also put away all these anger, wrath, malice, reviling, obscene language from your mouth.

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

¹⁴ and over all these put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. ¹⁵ And let the peace of God, to which you are called in one body, rule in your hearts, and be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, by teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with gratitude in your hearts to the Lord.

¹⁶ Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, by teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with gratitude in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

¹⁷ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. ¹⁸ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it is becoming in the Lord. ¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. ²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is wellpleasing to the Lord.

²² Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye-service, as pleasing men, but with simplicity of heart, fearing God.

⁵ Walk in wisdom toward those who are without, redeeming the time.

¹⁰ and to wait for his Son from heaven, even Jesus, whom he raised from the dead, and who delivers us from the coming wrath.

⁹ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for the great joy with which we rejoice on your account before our God,

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

⁷ for God has not called us for uncleanness, but for holiness.

⁹ But with respect to brotherly love, you have no need that I write to you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another;

⁴ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. ⁵ You are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness. ⁶ Therefore, let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober.

⁶ Therefore, let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunken, are drunken in the night.

⁷ For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunken, are drunken in the night. 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:

¹⁵ See that no one render evil for evil to any, but always pursue that which is good toward one another and toward all.

¹⁸ in every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

²¹ Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

²³ Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

³ Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come, unless the apostasy come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

¹⁰ and with all the delusion of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order that they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, in order that they may believe a lie, ¹² that all may be condemned who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness. 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,

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

¹⁴ And if any one obey not our word by this letter, note that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed;

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

⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all, of which the testimony has been given in its proper times,

¹⁰ but with good works; since this becomes women who profess godliness. ¹¹ Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

¹¹ Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. ¹² I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

³ not fond of wine, not quarrelsome, not one who makes money by base means; but gentle, not contentious, not covetous; ⁴ one that rules his own house well; having his children in subjection with all gravity:

⁸ The deacons, likewise, must be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not makers of money by base means,

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.

¹² Let no one despise your youth; but be an example to the believers, in word, in behavior, in love, in spirit, in faithfulness, in purity.

⁴ But if any widow has children or grand-children, let them learn first to be dutiful to their own family, and to requite their parents; for that is good and acceptable in the sight of God.

²⁰ Those who sin rebuke before all, that the rest also may fear.

²² Lay hands hastily on no man, nor be partaker of other men's sins: keep yourself pure.

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.

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,

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;

²⁶ and that they may awake to sobriety out of the snare of the devil, after having been taken captive by him according to his will.

² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

⁵ having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from these also turn away.

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

⁶ if any one is blameless, the husband of one wife, if he has faithful children that are not accused of riotous living, or disobedient. ⁷ For the bishop must be blame less, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not passionate, not fond of wine, not quarrelsome, not one who makes money by base means;

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.

³ that the aged women likewise be, in deportment, as it becomes holy women, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of good things,

⁵ to be discreet, chaste, fond of home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not reviled.

⁷ in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in teaching, showing incorruptness, gravity,

⁹ Exhort servants to be subject to their own masters, and to please them well in all things, not contradicting,

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. ¹⁵ Speak these things, and exhort and rebuke with all strictness. Let no one despise you.

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.

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.

⁸ Wherefore, though I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do that which is becoming,

⁸ But to the Son: Thy throne, God, is from age to age: a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of thy kingdom.

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?

¹⁹ And so we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

²⁵ Wherefore, he is able also to save through all time those who come to God by him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. ²⁶ For such a high priest is suited to us, who is holy, harm less, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens; ²⁷ who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

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?

²³ It was necessary, therefore, that the copies of the things in the heavens should be consecrated by these sacrifices; but that the heavenly things themselves should be consecrated by better sacrifices than these.

²⁶ for then, he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once in the end of the ages, he has appeared in order to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

¹⁰ By which will, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.

¹⁰ By which will, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time. ¹¹ And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: ¹² but after offering one sacrifice for sins, he himself sits continually at the right hand of God,

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;

³³ who, through faith, subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions,

⁹ So, then, we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we reverenced them; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of our spirits, and live?

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

²² But you have come to Mount Zion, and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels; ²³ to the general assembly and church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect, ²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than the blood of Abel. ²⁵ See that you reject not him that speaks: for if they es caped not who rejected that earthly man who gave the oracles, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that is from heaven,

²⁸ Wherefore, as we receive a kingdom that can not be shaken, let us have gratitude, by which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear:

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

⁴ Marriage is honorable among all men, and the bed undefiled; but lewd men and adulterers God will judge. ⁵ Let there be no money-loving disposition; be content with such things as you have. For he has said: I will never leave you, nor will I ever forsake you.

¹⁵ Through him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name.

¹⁷ Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive: for they watch for your souls, as those who must give an account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for that would be fatal to you.

¹⁸ Of his own will, he begot us with the word of truth, in order that we might be, as it were, the first-fruits of his creatures.

⁴ Behold also the ships, which are very great, and are driven by violent winds; yet they are turned about by a very small helm, to whatever point the will of him that directs it may determine. ⁵ So, also, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a forest does a little fire set in a blaze. ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So is the tongue placed among our members, defiling the whole body, setting on fire the course of life, and being set on fire by hell. ⁷ For every kind of beasts and of birds, of creeping things and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by man: ⁸ but the tongue no man can tame; it is an unruly evil; it is full of deadly poison.

¹³ Who is wise and discreet among you? Let him show, by a good behavior, his works, with the meekness of wisdom.

¹³ Is any one among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any one cheerful? let him sing praise.

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.

¹⁵ but as he who has called you is holy, so be you holy in all your behavior: ¹⁶ because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy.

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, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot and blemish,

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot and blemish, ²⁰ who was indeed foreordained before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you, ²¹ who through him do believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God. 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,

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, ²³ having been begotten again, not with corruptible seed, but with incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever.

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.

⁸ and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense to the disobedient, who stumble at the word because they are disobedient, to which stumbling they were also appointed. 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: ¹⁰ who formerly were not a people, but now are the people of God; who had not received mercy, but now have received mercy. ¹¹ Beloved, I beseech you, as strangers and sojourners, that you keep yourselves from fleshly desires, which war against the soul,

¹³ Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man, for the Lord's sake; whether it be to the king, as supreme ruler,

¹⁷ Honor all men; love the brotherhood; reverence God; honor the king.

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

²⁴ He himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. By his stripes you were healed. ²⁵ For you were like sheep that had gone astray; but now you have returned to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.

¹ Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they may, without the word, be won by the conduct of their wives, ² by observing your blameless and reverential conduct.

² by observing your blameless and reverential conduct. ³ Let not your adorning be that which is outward, which consists in plaiting the hair, and wearing gold, and putting on apparel:

³ Let not your adorning be that which is outward, which consists in plaiting the hair, and wearing gold, and putting on apparel: ⁴ but let it be the hidden man of the heart, adorned with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great price.

⁴ but let it be the hidden man of the heart, adorned with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great price. ⁵ For, in former times, the holy women also, who trusted in God, thus adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands,

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

⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: and you are her children, if you do good, and fear no dismay. ⁷ Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, bestowing honor on the wife as the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.

⁷ Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, bestowing honor on the wife as the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.

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.

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. ⁴ They are amazed at this that you run not with them into the same excess of debauchery, and they revile you.

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

¹¹ If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any man acts as a deacon, let him do this as from the strength which God supplies; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and strength from age to age. Amen.

² Act as shepherds to the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight, not by compulsion, but willingly; not for the sake of sordid gain, but from readiness of mind:

⁵ Likewise, you younger, be in subjection to the older: do you all indeed be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the lowly.

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.

⁷ and delivered righteous Lot, wearied out with the licentious conduct of the lawless,

¹⁰ but especially those who walk after the flesh in unclean lust, and who despise government. Presumptuous, willful men! they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries:

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,

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.

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

⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁸ Again, a new commandment I do write to you, which is true as it respects him and you; because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines. 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.

²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one that works righteousness has been begotten by him.

¹ Behold, how great love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God! For this reason, the world knows us not, because it knew him not. ² Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

⁹ Whoever has been begotten of God does not work sin; because his seed remains in him: and he can not sin, because he has been begotten of God. ¹⁰ By this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whoever does not work righteousness is not of God; neither is he that loves not his brother. 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.

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

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.

¹ Beloved, believe not every spirit; but prove the spirits, whether they are from God: for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

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

⁶ This is he that came by water and by blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water only, but by water and by blood: and it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is truth.

¹⁰ If any one comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not wish him well: ¹¹ for he that wishes him well, is partaker of his evil deeds.

¹¹ Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He that does good is of God: he that does evil has not seen God.

¹ JUDE, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are sanctified in God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

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.

¹³ raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame: wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved forever.

²¹ keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, in order to eternal life.

²⁴ Now to him that is able to keep you free from stumbling, and to present you blameless in the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only God our Savior, be glory and majesty, strength and authority, both now and throughout all the ages. Amen.

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,

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.

²¹ And I have given her time to repent; and she will not repent of her lewdness.

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 After this I saw, and behold, a great multitude, that no one could number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and there were palms in their hands; 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. ¹³ And one of the elders answered, and said to me: "Who are these that are clothed in white robes, and whence came they? 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. ¹⁵ Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he that sits on the throne shall dwell among them. ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, nor shall they thirst any more, nor shall the sun fall upon them, nor any heat. ¹⁷ For the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and will lead them to living fountains of water: and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

²¹ and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their lewdness, nor of their thefts.

⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Come out of her, my people, lest you become partakers of her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

⁷ Let us rejoice and be glad, and give glory to him: for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready. ⁸ And to her was given that she should be clothed in fine linen, clean arid white; for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.

¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him; and he said to me: See that you do it not; I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus; worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things that were written in the books, according to their works.

² And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

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.

¹⁰ And he carried me away in spirit to a mountain, great and high, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the glory of God: that which gave it light was like a most costly stone, like jasper-stone, brilliant as crystal. ¹² It had a wall, great and high; and it had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel; ¹³ on the east, three gates; on the north, three gates; on the south, three gates; and on the west, three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he that talked with me had a measure, a golden reed, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. ¹⁶ And the city lies square: and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thou sand furlongs: the length, and the breadth, and the hight of it are equal. ¹⁷ And he measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. ¹⁸ And the wall of it was built of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. ¹⁹ And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every costly stone: the first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; ²⁰ the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, crysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, like clear glass. ²² And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. ²³ And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God gave it light, and the lamp of it is the Lamb. ²⁴ And the nations shall walk by the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory and their honor into it. ²⁵ And its gates shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. ²⁶ And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 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.

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