2 Corinthians 5 Cross References - Godbey

¹ For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle may be taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. ² For in this we groan, longing to be invested with our house which is from heaven: ³ if indeed having been invested, we shall not be found unclothed. ⁴ For indeed being in this tabernacle we groan, being burdened; not that we wish to be divested, but invested, that mortality may be swallowed up of life. ⁵ But the one having wrought us out unto this same thing is God, the one having given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. ⁶ Therefore we are always confident even knowing that, being present in the body, we are absent from the Lord; ⁷ (for we walk by faith, not by sight); ⁸ but we are confident and delighted rather to be absent from the body, and present with the Lord. ⁹ Therefore we are truly ambitious, whether being present or absent, to be well pleasing unto him. ¹⁰ For it behooves us all to appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, in order that each one may receive according to those things which he has done through the body, whether good or evil. ¹¹ Therefore knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but we have been made manifest unto God; and I hope that we have indeed been made manifest in your consciences. ¹² We are not commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion of boasting in our behalf, in order that you may have response to those who glory in appearance, and not in heart. ¹³ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we have our right minds, it is for you. ¹⁴ For the love of Christ constrains us; having judged this, that one died for all; then were all dead; ¹⁵ and he died for all, in order that those living may not live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them and is risen. ¹⁶ So that we from now know no man after the flesh: if indeed we have known Christ after the flesh, but we now know him no more. ¹⁷ So if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, they have become new. ¹⁸ All things are from God, the one having reconciled us unto himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, ¹⁹ as that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their transgressions to them, even having placed in us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ Therefore we are embassadors in behalf of Christ, as God is intreating you through us; we pray you in behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ He made him sin in our behalf, who knew no sin; in order that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

⁴³ And the synagogue having been adjourned, many of the Jews and pious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking with them, continued to persuade them to abide in the grace of God.

³¹ as He has appointed a day, in which he is about to judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; giving faith to all, having raised Him from the dead.

⁴ And he spoke in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. ⁵ And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was straitened with the word, witnessing to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

¹³ saying, This one persuades men to worship God contrary to law.

²⁶ and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, that this Paul having persuaded them has turned away a great multitude, saying that there are no gods made with hands.

¹⁸ And when they came to him, he said to them, You know, that from the first day from which I came unto Asia, how I was with you all the time, ¹⁹ serving the Lord with all humility, and tears, and temptations, which came upon me through the plots of the Jews: ²⁰ how I omitted nothing of those things which are profitable, that I should not declare unto you and teach you publicly and from house to house, ²¹ witnessing both to Jews, and to Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. ²² And now, behold, I go to Jerusalem bound in spirit, not knowing the things which shall come upon me in it: ²³ except that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesses to me, saying that bonds and tribulations await me. ²⁴ But I consider my life worthy of no consideration to myself, so as to finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear testimony to the gospel of the grace of God. ²⁵ And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I came preaching the gospel of the kingdom, shall see my face no more. ²⁶ Therefore I witness to you this clay, that I am pure from the blood of all men; ²⁷ for I did not shrink to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

¹³ Then Paul responded and said, What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

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

²⁴ And he making his defence to these things, Festus says with a loud voice, O Paul, thou art beside thyself; many writings turned thee into insanity. ²⁵ But Paul says, I am not a maniac, most noble Festus; but I speak forth the words of truth and soberness. ²⁶ For the king, to whom I also speak boldly, knows concerning these things: for I am persuaded that nothing of these things is hidden; for this has not been done in a corner.

²³ And having appointed a day with him, many came to him into his hired house, to whom witnessing he expounded the kingdom of God, indeed persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning unto evening.

¹⁷ For the righteousness of God is revealed in him from faith to faith: as has been written, But the just shall live by faith.

² For we know that the judgment of God according to truth is against those doing such things.

⁵ But according to thy hardness and thy impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God; ⁶ who will give to each one according to his works: ⁷ to those indeed who with patience of good work are seeking glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: ⁸ but to those who are of self-seeking, and disobedient to the truth, but obedient to unrighteousness, there are indignation and wrath. ⁹ Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that is working out evil, both the Jew first, and the Greek; ¹⁰ but glory and honor and peace to every one doing good; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

²¹ And now the righteousness of God without law has been made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; ²² but the righteousness of God through faith of Jesus Christ is unto all who believe: for there is no difference, ²³ for all sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ²⁴ being freely justified by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus: ²⁵ whom God sent forth an expiation through faith in his blood, unto the manifestation of His righteousness through the remission of the sins which are passed, ²⁶ in the forbearance of God; unto the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time, so that he is just, and justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus.

⁶ Indeed David also speaks of the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works, ⁷ Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; ⁸ blessed is the man of whom the Lord may not impute sin.

²⁵ who was delivered on account of our transgressions, and raised for our justification.

¹ Therefore having been justified by faith, let us have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁰ For if being enemies we are reconciled to God through the death of his Son; how much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved through his life: ¹¹ but not only so, but even rejoicing in God through Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we now received reconciliation.

¹⁵ But not as was the transgression, even so is the free gift: for if by the transgression of one many died, how much more by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, did the grace of God and the gift abound unto many!

¹⁹ for as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also by the obedience of one man shall many be made righteous.

² It could not be so. How shall we, who are dead unto sin, live any longer in it?

⁴ Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death: in order that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so must we also walk in newness of life. ⁵ For if we have grown together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection: ⁶ knowing this, that our old man is crucified along with him, in order that the body of sin may be destroyed, that we may no longer serve sin;

⁶ knowing this, that our old man is crucified along with him, in order that the body of sin may be destroyed, that we may no longer serve sin;

¹¹ So you also thus reckon yourselves dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ. ¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body that you should obey the lusts of it: ¹³ neither present your members arms of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members arms of righteousness unto God.

¹⁹ I speak after the manner of a man on account of the weakness of your carnality. For as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and lawlessness pursuant to lawlessness, so now present your members servants unto righteousness pursuant to sanctification.

⁶ But now we have been made free from the law, being dead in that in which we were held; so that we serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

²⁴ O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

¹ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

¹ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. ² For the law of the Spirit of life has made thee free from the law of sin and of death.

² For the law of the Spirit of life has made thee free from the law of sin and of death. ³ For there was an impotency of the law, in which it was weak through depravity, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the sin of depravity and for sin, condemned sin in depravity: ⁴ in order that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to depravity, but according to the spirit.

⁶ for the mind of depravity is death: and the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.

⁹ But ye are not in depravity, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any one has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. ¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, the body is dead so far as sin is concerned; but the Spirit is life so far as righteousness is concerned.

¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, the body is dead so far as sin is concerned; but the Spirit is life so far as righteousness is concerned.

²³ and not only so, but we ourselves, having the earnest of the Spirit, and we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of sons, the redemption of our body. ²⁴ For we are saved by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for why does any one indeed hope for that which he sees? ²⁵ But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

³ for being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God. ⁴ For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one who believes.

¹⁵ For if the casting away of them was the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be, but life from the dead?

³⁶ Because of Him, and through him, and unto him, are all things: to him be glory forever: amen.

¹ I exhort you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, your reasonable service:

¹ I exhort you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, your reasonable service: ² and he not fashioned after this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. ³ For I speak, through the grace which has been given unto me, for every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one the measure of faith.

⁷ For no one of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself: ⁸ for if indeed we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Then indeed if we live, and if we die, we are the Lord's.

⁸ for if indeed we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Then indeed if we live, and if we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For unto this Christ died, and lives, in order that He may be Lord of the dead and of the living. ¹⁰ But why do you judge your neighbor, or indeed why do you discount your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. ¹¹ For it has been written; As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. ¹² Then therefore each one of us shall give an account to God for himself.

¹⁸ For in this the one serving Christ is acceptable to God, and approved unto men.

²⁰ but being so ambitious not to preach the gospel, where Christ has been named, in order that I may not build on another man's foundation;

⁷ Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsman and my fellow-soldiers, who are celebrated among the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.

¹¹ Salute Herodian my kinsman. Salute those from the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

¹⁴ But the intellectual man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

⁹ For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's farm; ye are God's building.

⁴ For I know nothing against myself; but in this I am not justified; and the Lord is the one judging me. ⁵ So judge nothing before the time, until the Lord may come, who will also bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then praise shall be to each one from God.

⁵ So judge nothing before the time, until the Lord may come, who will also bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then praise shall be to each one from God.

¹⁰ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are glorious, but we are dishonorable. ¹¹ until this hour we both hunger and thirst, and suffer for insufficient clothing, and are buffeted; and we tramp, ¹² and we toil working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it; ¹³ being scandalized, we entreat: we have become as the offscourings of the world, the refuse of all things until now.

¹² All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable: all things are lawful, but I will not be brought under the power of any. ¹³ Meats for the stomach, and the stomach for meats: but God will destroy both this and them. The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body: ¹⁴ but God both raised up the Lord, and will raise you up through his power. ¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? then taking the members of Christ, shall I make them the members of a harlot? it could not be so. ¹⁶ Do you not know that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? for it says, They two shall be one flesh. ¹⁷ But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. ¹⁸ Fly from fornication. Every sin which a man may commit is outside of his body; the one committing fornication sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? and you are not your own; ²⁰ for you have been bought with a price: indeed glorify God in your body.

⁶ but there is to us one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we in him.

²⁶ I therefore so run, not as uncertainly, do I thus fight not as beating the air: ²⁷ but I keep my body under, and enslave it, lest having preached the gospel to others, I myself may become disapproved.

³³ as I also please all in all things, seeking not my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

⁶ And there are diversities of operations, and the same God, working all things in all.

¹¹ When I was an infant, I talked like an infant, I thought like an infant, I reasoned like an infant: when I became a man, I put away the things of the infant. ¹² For we now see through a mirror in an enigma; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know perfectly even as I am perfectly known.

⁴⁶ But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is animal; afterward that which is spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man was from the earth, earthy: the second man from heaven. ⁴⁸ As was the earthy, such are they also who are earthy; and as was the heavenly, such are they also who are heavenly.

⁵³ For it behooves this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality. ⁵⁴ But when this corruptible may put on incorruption, and this mortal may put on immorality, then shall the word which has been written be fulfilled, Death is swallowed up in victory.

⁵⁸ So, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

²² If any one loves not the Lord as a friend, let him be anathema Maran atha.

¹² For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and purity of God, not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have sojourned in the world, and especially towards you. ¹³ For we do not write other things to you, but those things which you read and know, and I hope that you will know them perfectly: ¹⁴ as you have also known us in part, because we are your glorying, as you ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁴ as you have also known us in part, because we are your glorying, as you ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

²² Who also having sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

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

¹⁷ For we are not as many, corrupting the word of God: but as of purity, but as from God, we speak in Christ, in the presence of God.

¹ Do we again begin to commend ourselves? or whether have we need of commendatory letters to you or from you, as some do?

⁶ who also rendered us able ministers of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit creates life. ⁷ But if the ministry of death, having been written in letters of stone, was in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look upon the face of Moses on account of the glory of his countenance; which was destined to be done away:

⁹ For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, how much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.

¹ Therefore having this ministry, as we have obtained mercy, we faint not; ² but we lay aside the hidden things of disgrace, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but in the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men, before God.

⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, in order that the excellency of the power, may be of God, and not of us;

¹⁷ For the light burden of our affliction, which is evanescent, is working out for us an eternal weight of glory according to hyperbole unto hyperbole; ¹⁸ we not looking at the things which are visible, but the things which are invisible; for the visible things are temporary, but the invisible things are eternal.

¹ For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle may be taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. ² For in this we groan, longing to be invested with our house which is from heaven: ³ if indeed having been invested, we shall not be found unclothed. ⁴ For indeed being in this tabernacle we groan, being burdened; not that we wish to be divested, but invested, that mortality may be swallowed up of life.

⁴ For indeed being in this tabernacle we groan, being burdened; not that we wish to be divested, but invested, that mortality may be swallowed up of life.

⁶ Therefore we are always confident even knowing that, being present in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

⁸ but we are confident and delighted rather to be absent from the body, and present with the Lord. ⁹ Therefore we are truly ambitious, whether being present or absent, to be well pleasing unto him.

¹¹ Therefore knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but we have been made manifest unto God; and I hope that we have indeed been made manifest in your consciences.

¹⁶ So that we from now know no man after the flesh: if indeed we have known Christ after the flesh, but we now know him no more. ¹⁷ So if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, they have become new.

¹⁹ as that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their transgressions to them, even having placed in us the word of reconciliation.

¹⁹ as that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their transgressions to them, even having placed in us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ Therefore we are embassadors in behalf of Christ, as God is intreating you through us; we pray you in behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

²⁰ Therefore we are embassadors in behalf of Christ, as God is intreating you through us; we pray you in behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ He made him sin in our behalf, who knew no sin; in order that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

¹ But working together we indeed intreat you not to have received the grace of God in vain:

⁴ but in everything commending ourselves, as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulations, in straits, in difficulties,

³ I do not speak for castigation: for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die with you and to live with you.

¹² Since then indeed I wrote to you, not on account of the one having done the wrong, nor on account of the one having suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal, which is in our behalf to you before God, might be made manifest.

⁸ I speak not according to commandment, but through the zeal of others also proving the sincerity of your divine love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, being rich, for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be made rich.

⁸ For if I shall in any thing the more abundantly boast concerning our power which the Lord gave us for your edification, and not for your destruction, I will not be ashamed:

¹² For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain ones of those who recommend themselves: but they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves to themselves, are not wise.

¹⁸ for he that commends himself is not approved, but whom the Lord commends.

¹ I would that you bear with me a little in my folly: yes indeed you do bear with me.

¹² But what I am doing, I indeed will do, in order that I may cut off occasion from those wishing occasion, in order that in whatsoever they may glory, they may be found even as we are. ¹³ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. ¹⁵ Then it is no great wonder if his ministers are transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose, end shall be according to their works. ¹⁶ Again I say, Let no one consider me to be a fool; but if not, receive me as a fool, in order that I may indeed glory some little.

¹⁶ Again I say, Let no one consider me to be a fool; but if not, receive me as a fool, in order that I may indeed glory some little. ¹⁷ What I say, I am not saying according to the Lord, but as it were in folly, in this confidence of glorying. ¹⁸ Since many glory in the flesh, I will glory also.

¹ It behooves me to glory, indeed it is not profitable, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. ² I knew a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I know not; whether out of the body, I know not, such a one having been caught up even to the third heaven.

² I knew a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I know not; whether out of the body, I know not, such a one having been caught up even to the third heaven.

² I knew a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I know not; whether out of the body, I know not, such a one having been caught up even to the third heaven. ³ And I knew such a man, whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not; God knows,

³ And I knew such a man, whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not; God knows, ⁴ that he was caught up to Paradise, and heard unutterable words, which it is impossible for a man to speak. ⁵ Concerning such a one I will glory: but concerning myself I will not glory, except in my infirmities. ⁶ For if I shall wish to glory, I will not be a fool; for I speak the truth: but I fear, lest some one may consider with reference to me above what he sees me, or hears from me.

⁶ For if I shall wish to glory, I will not be a fool; for I speak the truth: but I fear, lest some one may consider with reference to me above what he sees me, or hears from me. ⁷ And that I may not be exalted by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given unto me in the flesh, the messenger of Satan that he may buffet me, in order that I may not be exalted. ⁸ Three times I called on the Lord concerning this, that it may depart from me. ⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most delightfully I will glory the more in my infirmities, in order that the power of Christ may abide on me.

¹¹ I have become a fool: you did compel me. For I ought to be commended by you: for I am not inferior to the very chief of the apostles, if indeed I am nothing.

¹⁰ For must I now believe men, or God? whether do I seek to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I would not be the servant of Christ.

⁵ to whom I rendered not submission for an hour; in order that the truth of the gospel may abide with you. ⁶ But of those seeming to be something what they were at that time makes no difference to me: God does not receive the face of man: for those seeming to me to be prominent added nothing extra:

¹⁹ For I through law died to law, in, order that I may live unto God. ²⁰ I am crucified along with Christ; and I live no longer, 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.

²⁰ I am crucified along with Christ; and I live no longer, 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.

¹³ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: because it has been written; Cursed is every one having been hung on the wood:

²⁸ There is no longer Jew nor Greek, nor bond nor free, nor male and female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision avails anything; but faith working through divine love.

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

⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man may sow, that shall he also reap: ⁸ because the one sowing to his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but the one sowing to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap eternal life.

¹² So many as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised; only that they do not suffer persecution on account of the cross of Christ. ¹³ For neither do those who are circumcised keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, in order that they may glory in your flesh. ¹⁴ But it would be impossible for me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world: ¹⁵ for neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having blessed us with all spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ: ⁴ as he elected us in himself before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless in his presence.

⁶ unto the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved:

¹³ in whom you also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom, also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, ¹⁴ who is the earnest of our salvation, unto the redemption of the possession, unto the praise of his glory.

¹ You, who were dead in trespasses and in your sins, ² in which at one time you walked about according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit which is now working in the sons of disobedience; ³ among whom we all indeed at one time lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by nature the children of wrath, like the rest also: ⁴ but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us, ⁵ created life in us in Christ, who were dead in trespasses, by grace you have been saved,

¹⁰ for we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

¹⁵ having destroyed the law of commandments in ordinances, through his flesh, the enmity, in order that He might create the two in himself into one new man, making peace; ¹⁶ and that he may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity on in. ¹⁷ And having come he preached the gospel of peace to you, who were far away, and peace to them who were nigh:

¹⁸ being rooted and grounded in divine love, in order that you may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, ¹⁹ and to know the divine love of Christ which transcends knowledge, in order that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.

¹⁷ Therefore I say this, and witness in the Lord, that you no longer walk about as the Gentiles also walk about in the vanity of their mind,

²² that with reference to your former life, you are to lay aside the old man, who is corrupt in the lusts of deception; ²³ and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴ and to put on the new man, who has been created in harmony with God in the righteousness and holiness of the truth.

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed unto the day of redemption.

² and walk about in divine love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet savor.

¹⁴ Therefore he says, Awake, thou sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon thee.

⁸ knowing that if each one may do good, he will receive this with the Lord, whether bond or free.

²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chain; in order that in it I may preach boldly, as it behooves me to speak.

²⁴ Grace be with all who love the Lord Jesus Christ with divine love in purity.

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

²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death. ²¹ For Christ is my life, and death is my gain.

²¹ For Christ is my life, and death is my gain. ²² But if to live in the flesh, this shall be to me the fruit of the work, indeed I know not what I shall ask. ²³ But I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ; for this is far better:

²³ But I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ; for this is far better: ²⁴ but to remain in the flesh is safer on account of you.

⁷ Those things which were gained to me, these I counted loss for the sake of Christ.

⁷ Those things which were gained to me, these I counted loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸ Yes truly, I even counted all things loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I suffer the loss of all things, and I consider them but excrements, that I may gain Christ,

⁸ Yes truly, I even counted all things loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I suffer the loss of all things, and I consider them but excrements, that I may gain Christ, ⁹ and may be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ, the righteousness of God through faith:

⁹ and may be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ, the righteousness of God through faith:

²⁰ For our citizenship is in the heavens; whence we are indeed looking for our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: ²¹ who will transform the body of our humility, similitudinous to the body of his own glory, according to the energy by which he is able indeed to subdue all things to himself.

²¹ Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me salute you.

¹⁰ that you may walk worthily of the Lord in all loyalty, in every good work bearing fruit, and increasing in the perfect knowledge of God.

¹⁶ because in him all things are created, in the heavens and upon the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All things were created by him, and unto him; ¹⁷ and he before all things, and all things consist in him:

²⁰ and through him, to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross: through him, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. ²¹ And you, being at one time aliens and enemies in your minds on account of wicked works, nevertheless he has now reconciled

²⁴ Now I rejoice in sufferings in your behalf, and am filling up the residue of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh in behalf of his body, which is the church;

²⁸ whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man perfect in Christ; ²⁹ unto which I also labor, agonizing according to his energy, working in me with power.

²⁹ unto which I also labor, agonizing according to his energy, working in me with power.

⁹ because in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,

¹¹ in whom you are also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of depravity, in the circumcision of Christ; ¹² having been buried with him in baptism, in which you are also raised by the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from the dead: ¹³ and you, being dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your depravity, has he created life in you along with himself, having forgiven us all transgressions,

¹ If then ye are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting on the right hand of God;

¹ If then ye are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting on the right hand of God; ² think about those things above, and not things upon the earth. ³ For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God: ⁴ when Christ, your life, may appear, then will you also appear with him in glory. ⁵ Therefore kill your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; ⁶ through which the wrath of God comes. ⁷ In which you indeed at one time did walk about, when you lived in them: ⁸ but you also lay aside all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, disgraceful talk out of your mouths: ⁹ lie not to one another, having laid aside the old man with his habits, ¹⁰ and having put on the new man, who is renewed into perfect knowledge according to the image of him who created him: ¹¹ where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: but Christ is all things, and in all.

¹⁷ and every thing whatsoever you may do, in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

²³ Whatsoever you may do, work from your soul, as for the Lord, and not for men; ²⁴ knowing that you will receive the recompense of the inheritance from the Lord. Serve the Lord Christ; ²⁵ for the one doing wrong receives that for which he did the injustice: and there is no respect of persons.

⁵ because our gospel came not unto you in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as you know what sort we were among you for your sakes.

³ For our exhortation was not from delusion, nor from impurity, nor in guile:

³ For our exhortation was not from delusion, nor from impurity, nor in guile: ⁴ but as we were approved of God that the gospel should be intrusted unto us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who is proving our hearts,

⁴ but as we were approved of God that the gospel should be intrusted unto us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who is proving our hearts, ⁵ For at that time we were not in word of flattery, as you know, nor in a pretext of covetousness, God is our witness;

⁵ For at that time we were not in word of flattery, as you know, nor in a pretext of covetousness, God is our witness; ⁶ nor seeking glory from men, nor from you, nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as the apostles of Christ;

⁶ nor seeking glory from men, nor from you, nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as the apostles of Christ; ⁷ but we were gentle in the midst of you, as if a nurse may cherish her children;

⁷ but we were gentle in the midst of you, as if a nurse may cherish her children; ⁸ being so desirous of you, that we are anxious not only to give the gospel of God, but our own souls, because you are beloved unto us.

⁸ being so desirous of you, that we are anxious not only to give the gospel of God, but our own souls, because you are beloved unto us. ⁹ For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil: night and day working, that we should burden no one of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

⁹ For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil: night and day working, that we should burden no one of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. ¹⁰ You are witnesses, and God, how sacredly and righteously and blamelessly we were unto you who believed:

¹⁰ You are witnesses, and God, how sacredly and righteously and blamelessly we were unto you who believed: ¹¹ as you know, exhorting each one of you, as a father of his own children, and comforting you,

¹¹ as you know, exhorting each one of you, as a father of his own children, and comforting you, ¹² and testifying, that you walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

¹ Finally therefore, brethren, we pray you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how it behooves you to walk about and to please God, as you do indeed walk about, in order that you may abound more and more.

⁸ Therefore the one rejecting (sanctification), does not reject man, but God, who indeed gives to you his Holy Spirit.

¹¹ and that you aspire to be quiet, and to prosecute your own employments, and work with your hands, as we proclaimed unto you;

¹⁷ then we who are alive, who are left, will at the same time along with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be always with the Lord. ¹⁸ So comfort one another with these words.

¹⁰ the one having died for us, in order that, whether we are awake or asleep, we shall at the same time live with him.

⁶ the one having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in due time;

¹⁶ And assuredly great is the mystery of godliness; Who is manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, was seen of angels, was preached among the Gentiles, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

¹⁰ For unto this we toil and agonize, because we have hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.

⁶ but she who is wanton is dead though living.

²¹ I testify before God, and Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that you must guard these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. ²² Lay hands quickly on no one, and be not partaker of other men's sins.

¹² on account of which cause I indeed suffer these things: but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to stand guard over that which is committed unto me unto that day.

¹⁰ On account of this I endure all things for the sake of the elect, in order that they may also have the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

²⁴ But it does not behoove the servant of the Lord to strive, but to be gentle toward all, competent to teach, enduring evil, ²⁵ in meekness correcting the adversaries; if peradventure God may grant unto them repentance into the perfect knowledge of the truth, ²⁶ and they may escape from the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him (the Lord's servant) according to his will.

⁷ I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: ⁸ finally there is a crown of righteousness laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day: not only to me, but to all those who with divine love, do love his appearing.

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

³ For when we also were without understanding, being disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in sin and envy, hateful, hating one another;

⁹ But we see Jesus humiliated somewhat in comparison with the angels, having been crowned with glory and honor on account of the suffering of death, in order that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.

¹⁷ Therefore he ought in all things to be made like unto his brethren, in order that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things appertaining to God, to the end that he may atone for the sins of the people.

¹¹ Therefore let us hasten to enter into that rest, lest some one may fall by the same example of unbelief.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched with our infirmities; but one having been tempted as to all things like unto us, apart from sin.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the divine love which you manifested in his name, having ministered to the saints, and ministering.

²⁶ For such a high priest was indeed appropriate unto us, holy, free from sin, undefiled, having been separated from the sinners, and being higher than the heavens;

⁹ not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they abode not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, says the Lord. ¹⁰ Because this is my covenant which I will establish with the house of Israel after these days, says the Lord; having given my laws in their mind, I will also write them on their heart; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be unto me a people. ¹¹ And they shall no longer teach each one his neighbor, each one his brother, saying, Know ye the Lord: because all shall know me, from their small even unto the great. ¹² Because I will be merciful unto their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more. ¹³ In that he calls it new, he has made the first one old; but that which is old and antiquated is nigh unto vanishing.

¹¹ But Christ being a high priest of good things to come, through a greater and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this world;

²⁴ For Christ did not come into the sanctuaries made with hands, the pattern of the true; but into heaven itself, now to be made manifest unto the face of God in our behalf:

³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³⁵ Therefore cast not away your confidence, which has great reward.

³⁸ My righteous man shall live by faith: and if he may draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him.

¹ But faith is the confidence of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. ² For by it the elders receive the witness of the Spirit. ³ By faith we understand that the worlds were created by the word of God, and that which was seen was not made from things which are manifest. ⁴ By faith Abel offered up to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received the witness that he was righteous, God witnessing to his gifts: and through it he having died is still speaking. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found because God translated him. For before he was translated he had the witness of the Spirit, that he pleased God: ⁶ but without faith it is impossible to please him: for it behooves the one coming unto God to believe that he is, and he is a rewarder unto them who seek him out. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned concerning things not yet seen, being moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became heir to the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called to go out into a place which he was about to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and went out, not knowing whither he goes. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a strange country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise: ¹⁰ for he anticipated a city having foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

¹⁰ for he anticipated a city having foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ And by faith Sarah herself received power unto the conception of seed, even past the time of age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore indeed they were born of one, and those things of one having died, as the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sands which are by the sea, which are innumerable. ¹³ These all died in the faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off, and embracing them, and confessing that they are strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

¹³ These all died in the faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off, and embracing them, and confessing that they are strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For those speaking such things declare that they are seeking after a country of their own. ¹⁵ If indeed they remember that country from which they came out, they would have had an opportunity to return; ¹⁶ but now they seek a better country, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac: and the one having received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ in reference to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ considering that God is able to raise him from the dead; whence he also received him in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each one of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, on the hilt of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, dying, made mention concerning the exodus of the children of Israel; and commanded concerning his own bones. ²³ By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and did not fear the commandment of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, having become an adult, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he was looking unto the recompense of reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he went out, as seeing the invisible one.

²⁸ Therefore receiving an unshaken kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may worship God acceptably with reverence and fear:

¹⁴ for we have here no continuing city, but we are seeking unto one which is to come.

²⁰ And the God of peace, the one having raised up from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, make you perfect, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, ²¹ in every good thing to do his will, doing that which is acceptable in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory unto the age of the ages. Amen.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of change.

¹ My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect to persons. ² For if a gold-ringed man may come into your synagogue, in shining apparel, and a poor man may also come in with soiled clothing; ³ and you may look upon the one wearing the shining garment, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and may say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit down beneath my footstool: ⁴ are you not condemned among yourselves, and have you not become the judges of evil reasonings?

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from above is indeed first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily persuaded, full of mercy and of good works, free from partiality and hypocrisy.

⁴ unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and never fading, having been kept in the heavens unto you,

⁶ In whom you rejoice, if however it is needful, being grieved a little while among manifold temptations: in order ⁷ that the trial of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, however being tried by the fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ: ⁸ whom you not seeing, love with divine love; on whom, not looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

¹⁴ As children of obedience, not being fashioned after your former lusts in ignorance: ¹⁵ but according to the Holy One who has called you. Be ye also holy in all your deportment;

²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth, ²³ who, being reviled, reviled not again; suffering, he threatened not, but gave up to the one judging righteously: ²⁴ who himself has borne our sins in his own body on the wood, in order that we, being made free from sins, may live unto righteousness: by whose stripe you are healed.

¹⁸ Because Christ indeed once died for our sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, indeed being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in spirit:

² that he may no longer live the remaining time in carnality according to the lusts of men, but in the will of God. ³ For the past time is sufficient to have wrought the will of the heathens, walking in impurities, in lusts, in wine-drinkings, in revelries, in intemperance, and in unlawful idolatries: ⁴ in which they are astonished you not running to the same excess of wrath, blaspheming; ⁵ who shall give an account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For, unto this the gospel was also preached to the dead, in order that they may indeed be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

¹ Therefore I, being a fellow-elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, also a communicant of the glory which is about to be revealed, exhort the elders who are among you:

⁹ whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that it is for you to complete the same sufferings in this world along with your brotherhood.

¹⁰ Therefore, brethren, be the more diligent to make your calling and election sure: for doing these things you can never fall. ¹¹ For in this way an entrance will be administered unto you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

¹³ But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance;

¹³ But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance; ¹⁴ knowing that the laying aside of my tabernacle is swift, as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me.

¹⁴ knowing that the laying aside of my tabernacle is swift, as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me. ¹⁵ And I will endeavor to have each one of you after my departure make mention of these things.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements being scorched up will be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it will be burnt up. ¹¹ Then all these things being dissolved, what kind of people does it behoove you to be in holy deportment and godliness,

¹¹ Then all these things being dissolved, what kind of people does it behoove you to be in holy deportment and godliness,

¹¹ Then all these things being dissolved, what kind of people does it behoove you to be in holy deportment and godliness, ¹² looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements being scorched up are melted?

¹² looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements being scorched up are melted? ¹³ But, according to his promises, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, wherein righteousness dwells. ¹⁴ Therefore, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent to be found spotless and blameless unto him in peace:

¹ My little children, I write these things to you, in order that you may not sin. And if any one may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: ² he is the expiator for our sins: and not ours only, but indeed for the whole world.

² he is the expiator for our sins: and not ours only, but indeed for the whole world.

² Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he may be made manifest, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.

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

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of the death into the life, because we love the brethren with divine love; the one loving not with divine love, abides in the death.

¹⁹ And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our hearts before him;

²⁴ And the one keeping his commandments abides in him, and he in him; and in this we know that he abides in us, he has given us of his Spirit.

⁹ In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him. ¹⁰ In him is divine love, not because we loved God with divine love, but because he loved us with divine love, and sent his Son an expiation for our sins.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the evil one.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the evil one. ²⁰ But we know that the Son of God has come and has given unto us intelligence, that we know the truth. And we are in the true one, in his Son Jesus Christ; he is the true God, and eternal life.

¹⁴ And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied against these, saying, Behold, the Lord came with his myriads of saints, ¹⁵ to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly of them for all the works of their ungodliness which they have impiously done, and for all their hard speeches which they have spoken against him, being ungodly sinners.

²³ and some save, seizing them out of the fire; and some pity in their fear, you indeed hating the garment having been spotted by carnality.

⁹ I John, your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and in patience in Jesus, was in the island which is called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and on account of the testimony of Jesus.

¹⁸ the living one, and I was dead; and, behold, I am alive unto the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

²³ And I will slay her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am the one searching the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you each according to your works.

¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from me gold which has been purified by the fire, in order that you may be rich; and white garments, in order that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not be exposed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

¹⁴ And I said unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me; These are those coming up out of great tribulation, who have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ On account of this they are before the throne of God, and they worship him day and night in his temple, and the one sitting upon the throne will spread his tabernacle over them. ¹⁶ And they will never hunger or thirst any more; neither will the sun, or any heat, fall on them: ¹⁷ because the Lamb in the midst of the throne will shepherdize them, and guide them to the fountains of the waters of life; and God will wipe every tear out of their eyes.

¹⁵ Behold, I am coming as a thief; blessed is the one watching and keeping his garments, in order that he may not walk about naked, and they may see his shame.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing 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 which were written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead who are in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged each according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

¹⁵ And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

¹ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth passed away; and the sea is no more. ² And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride is adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a great voice speaking from the throne, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with the people, and he will tabernacle with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them: ⁴ and he will wipe every tear out of their eyes; and there will be no more death, neither will there be any more sorrow, nor crying, nor pain: because the former things have passed away. ⁵ And the one sitting on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says, Write: that these words are faithful and true.

³ And there shall be no more curse. And the throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

¹² Behold, I am coming quickly; and my reward is with me, to give unto each one as his work is.
