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:

¹³ I had no rest in. my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but I took leave of them, and went into Macedonia.

¹³ But, having the same spirit of faith, according to that winch is written, I believed, and for this reason I have spoken; we also believe, and for this reason we speak,

⁴ but in all things we commend ourselves as the ministers of God, in much suffering, in afflictions, in distresses, in straits, ⁵ in stripes, in prisons,, in commotions, in labors, in watchings, in fastings; ⁶ by purity, by knowledge, by long forbearance, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned, ⁷ by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, ⁸ by honor and dishonor, by evil report, and good report; as impostors, yet truthful;

⁶ But God, who comforts those who are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

⁸ For although I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that the same letter gave you sorrow, though but for a short time. ⁹ Now I rejoice not that you were made sorry, but that you sorrowed in order to repentance. For you sorrowed in a way acceptable to God, that you might in nothing receive injury from us. ¹⁰ For godly sorrow works repentance not to be regretted, which leads to salvation: but the sorrow of the world works death. ¹¹ For behold this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner; what earnestness it produced in you; what defense of yourselves; what indignation; what fear; what strong affection; what zeal; what assertion of right. In all respects you have shown yourselves to be blame less in this matter. ¹² Therefore, though I wrote to you, it was not on account of him who did the wrong, nor on account of him who received the wrong; but that our diligent care for you, in the sight of God, might be made manifest to you. ¹³ For this reason, we have been comforted by means of your comfort: and we rejoiced exceedingly more indeed, on account of the joy of Titus, for his spirit was refreshed by you all. ¹⁴ For if I boasted of you to him, in any respect, I am not made ashamed; but as I have spoken all things to you in truth, so also has our boasting to Titus been found to be truth:

⁶ so that we exhorted Titus, that, as he had previously begun, so he would bring to an end this gift among you also.

¹⁶ But thanks be to God, who put the same earnest care for you in the heart of Titus:

²³ If it is necessary to speak of Titus, he is my partner and fellow-worker for you; if our brethren are spoken of, they are the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.

¹⁰ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting shall not be silenced, in my case, in the regions of Achaia.

¹² But what I am -doing I will also continue to do, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire an occasion, that in what they boast, they may be found even as we. ¹³ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, trans forming themselves into the apostles of Christ; ¹⁴ and no wonder, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. ¹⁵ Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves so as to be like the ministers of righteousness; of such, the end shall be according to their works.

¹⁸ I exhorted Titus, and with him sent the brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?

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.

⁶ I am astonished that you are so soon turning away from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel: ⁷ which is nothing else than that there are some who trouble you, and are determined to pervert the gospel of the Christ. ⁸ But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach to you any other gospel than that which we have preached, let him be ac cursed.

³ But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. ⁴ I acted thus indeed on account of false brethren, stealthily brought in, who stole in to spy out our freedom, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,

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

⁴ But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

⁹ now, however, after having known God, rather indeed having been known by God, how is it that you are turning back to the weak and beggarly rudiments, to which you desire again to be in bondage, as at first?

¹⁷ They are ardently attached to you, but not honorably; in deed, they desire to exclude us, that you may be ardently attached to them. ¹⁸ It is honorable to be ardently attached always, in what is honorable, and not only when I am present with you. ¹⁹ My little children, for whom I again suffer the pains of gestation, till Christ be formed in you, ²⁰ I desire to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am in doubt concerning you. ²¹ Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not understand the law?

¹ Stand firm, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ has made us free, and be not held fast again in the yoke of bondage. ² Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 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.

² grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus 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;

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.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit;

¹ PAUL and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

¹³ so that my bonds which are for Christ have become known to be such in all the palace, and in all other places;

² Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision. ³ For we are the circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

² to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ that are in Colosse: grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶ which is present among you, as it is also in all the world, and is producing fruit, even as it has been doing also among you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,

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

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

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

⁵ For, though I am absent in flesh, yet I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing to behold your order, and the firmness of your faith in Christ.

²² (all of which are for the destruction of those who use them,) according to the commandments and teachings of men;

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.

¹⁰ You are witnesses, and God also, in how holy and just and blameless a manner we conducted our selves among you that believe,

¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and do not please God, and are opposed to all men,

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

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

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

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, ¹⁴ "to which he called you by our gospel, in order that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁵ Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

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.

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.

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.

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, ⁴ who is willing that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, ⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all, of which the testimony has been given in its proper times, 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. ² A bishop, then, must be blame less, the husband of one wife, watchful, soberminded, modest, hospitable, able to teach,

⁷ Further, he must have a good reputation from those who are without, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. ⁸ The deacons, likewise, must be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not makers of money by base means, ⁹ holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. ¹⁰ And let these also be first proved, then let them become deacons, being blameless. ¹¹ Their wives likewise must be grave, not slanderers, watchful, faithful in all things. ¹² Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

² through the hypocrisy of liars, who are seared in their conscience, ³ who forbid to marry, and command to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe, and know the truth. 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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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,

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. ⁸ Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so these also will withstand the truth; men corrupt in mind, rejected as it respects the faith.

¹³ But evil men and impostors will become worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

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: ⁴ and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and be turned to fables.

³ but he has in his own times manifested his word by preaching, which was committed to me ac cording to the commandment of God our Savior;

⁵ I left you in Crete for this purpose, that you might set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I commanded you: 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;

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; ⁸ but hospitable, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, just, holy, temperate, ⁹ holding fast the sure word as it is taught, that he may be able, by sound teaching, both to exhort and to convince the opposers. 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.

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; 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,

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

⁷ in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in teaching, showing incorruptness, gravity, ⁸ sound speech that can not be condemned; that he that is opposed may be ashamed, seeing he has no evil thing to say of us.

¹⁰ not stealing, but showing all good faithfulness, that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in all things. ¹¹ For the grace of God, which brings salvation to all men, has appeared, ¹² teaching us, that denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in the present age; ¹³ looking for the blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

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

⁴ But when the kindness and philanthropy of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior; ⁷ that, being justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

¹⁰ A man that is a sectary, reject, after the first and second admonition,

¹⁷ Wherefore, God, being more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of his promise the immutability of his purpose, inter posed an oath, ¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled to lay hold on the hope set before us;

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;

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,

¹⁹ So, then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. ²⁰ For the wrath of man produces not the righteousness of God.

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

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

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

¹⁰ As each has received a gift, minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

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:

¹ SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained faith, equally as precious as our own, in the plan of justification revealed by our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

³ As his divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who has called us by his glorious power,

¹¹ For thus will an entrance be given you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

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:

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;

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.

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:

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,

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;

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.

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.

² that you may be mindful of the words formerly spoken by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior:

¹¹ Seeing, then, that all these things shall be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in all holy behavior, and godliness,

¹⁸ But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

⁴ He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

¹⁸ Little children, it is the last time; and, as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists; by which we know that it is the last time.

²³ "Whoever denies the Son, has not the Father: he that con fesses the Son, has the Father also.

²⁵ And this is the promise which he has promised us, even eternal life.

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

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he that loves not his brother, abides in death.

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.

¹ Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ, has been be gotten of God: and every one that loves him that begot, loves him also that is begotten of him.

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. ¹³ I have written these things to you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God. ¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we may know him that is true: and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and life eternal. Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

³ Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of the common salvation, I thought it necessary to write to you, and exhort you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. ⁴ For some men have stealthily entered in, who were long ago appointed to this condemnation; ungodly men, who pervert the grace of our God, and use it for lascivious purposes, and deny our only Sovereign and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁸ Yet, these dreamers also in like manner defile the flesh, despise government, and speak evil of dignitaries. ⁹ But Michael the archangel, when, contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring a railing accusation, but said: The Lord rebuke you. 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.

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

⁶ But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

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.

²⁵ but what you have, hold fast till I come.

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.

¹¹ I come quickly: hold fast that which you have, that no one take your crown.

⁸ And all that dwell upon the earth will worship him, those whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.

¹⁶ And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

⁸ The beast that you saw, was, and is not, and will come out of the abyss, and go to perdition; and those who dwell on the earth, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder, when they see the beast that was, and is not, though he is yet present.

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.
