¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the commandment of life which is in Christ Jesus, ² to Timothy, my beloved child.

²⁷ My peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor afraid.

¹¹ And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them through my name whom thou hast given unto me, in order that they may be one, as we are. ¹² When I was with them, I was keeping them in thy name whom thou hast given unto me.

¹⁵ I do not pray that you may take them out of the world, but that you may keep them from the evil one.

²³ From whose seed according to the promise he led forth Jesus, the Savior, to Israel:

⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly, said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: since you have rejected it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold we now turn to the Gentiles.

⁵⁰ And the Jews stirred up the noble godly women, and the first men of the city, and they raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.

⁵ And when there was a conspiracy of both Gentiles and Jews along with their leaders, to insult and stone them, ⁶ recognizing it, they fled into the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the surrounding country;

¹⁸ known from the beginning.

¹ And he arrived into Derbe and Lystra. And, behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timothy, the son of a faithful Jewish woman, and a Greek father,

⁶ And they traveled through Phrygia and the Galatian country, being prohibited by the Holy Ghost from speaking the word in Asia.

¹ And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul having come through the upper regions came down into Ephesus: and found certain disciples,

⁶ and Paul having laid his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they continued to speak with tongues, and prophesy.

¹⁰ And this took place two years; so that all dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

²⁷ And not only is this interest in danger to us to come into disrepute; but even the temple of the great goddess Diana to be considered for nought, and they are about even to despise the majesty of her, whom all Asia and the world worships.

³¹ and certain ones of the Asiatic rulers, also being friends to him, having sent to him, continued to entreat him not to give himself up into the theatre.

¹⁶ For Paul decided to sail by Ephesus, in order that it might not be necessary for him to spend the time in Asia: for he was hastening, if it might be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

¹⁹ serving the Lord with all humility, and tears, and temptations, which came upon me through the plots of the Jews:

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.

³¹ Watch therefore, remembering, that three years night and day I ceased not admonishing you with tears.

³⁷ And the weeping of all was great, and falling on the neck of Paul, they continued to kiss him copiously, ³⁸ being especially grieved at the word which he had spoken, that they were about to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

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.

²⁷ And when the seven days were about to have an end, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole multitude, and laid hands on him, crying out, ²⁸ Israelitish men, help: this is the man, teaching all everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and he has even yet led Greeks into the temple, and polluted this holy place. ²⁹ For they saw Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul led into the temple. ³⁰ And the whole city was excited, and there was a commotion of the people: and taking Paul, they dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were closed. ³¹ And seeking to kill him, the report went up to the chiliarch of the band, that all Jerusalem is in commotion;

³ And he says, I am Jewish man, having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, having been brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel according to the accuracy of patristic law, being a zealot of God, as you all are this day;

²¹ And He said to me, Go: because I will send thee far away to the Gentiles. ²² And they continued to hear him until this word, and lifted up their voice, saying, Take away such a one from the earth: for it is not appropriate for him to live. ²³ And they crying out, and rending their garments, and throwing dust into the air, ²⁴ the chiliarch commanded that he should be led into the castle, saying that he should be tested by scourges, in order that he might know on account of what cause they continued so to cry out against him.

¹ And Paul, looking the sanhedrim in the face, said, Men, brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God unto this day.

¹⁴ But I confess this to you, that according to the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of our fathers, believing all things which have been written in the law and in the prophets:

¹⁶ In this I also exercise, to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

⁴ Moreover indeed all the Jews know my life from my youth; being from the beginning in my nation and in Jerusalem,

¹¹ and throughout all the synagogues, frequently punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceeding mad against them, I was persecuting them even also unto foreign cities.

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 For the angel of God, whose I am, and whom indeed I serve, stood by me this night,

²⁰ Then for this cause I have called you, to see you, and talk to you: for on account of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

³⁰ And he spent a whole biennium in his own hired house, and received all those coming to him, ³¹ preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things concerning the Lord Jesus, with all boldness, uninterruptedly.

¹ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, having been separated unto the gospel of God,

⁷ to all the beloved of God who are in Rome, saints having been called. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ In the first place, indeed, I praise my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. ⁹ For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how I unceasingly make mention of you always in my prayer;

¹¹ For I long to see you, in order that I may impart unto you a certain spiritual grace, that you may be established;

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

⁷ to those indeed who with patience of good work are seeking glory and honor and immortality, eternal life:

²⁰ a teacher of the juveniles, having a form of knowledge and truth in the law;

² Much every way. For indeed, in the first place, the oracles of God were committed unto them.

²⁰ Therefore no flesh shall be justified by works of law: for through law there is a perfect knowledge of sin.

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:

³¹ Then do we make void the law through faith? It could not be so: but we establish the law.

²¹ and being fully assured, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.

⁴ and endurance, approval; and approval, hope: ⁵ and hope makes not ashamed; because the divine love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who has been given unto us.

⁵ and hope makes not ashamed; because the divine love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who has been given unto us.

¹⁷ For if by the transgression of one death reigned through one; how much more shall those receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Christ Jesus!) ¹⁸ Therefore then, as by the transgression of one, judgment came to all men to condemnation; so also through the righteousness of one, the free gift came on all men unto the justification of life:

²¹ in order that as sin reigned through death, so may grace reign also through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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;

¹⁷ But thanks be unto God, that whereas ye were servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart the type of teaching into which ye were delivered:

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord,

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.

¹¹ But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one having raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also create life in your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who dwells in you.

¹³ For if you live according to depravity, you are about to die: but if through the Spirit you kill the practices of the body, you shall live.

¹⁵ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but you received the Spirit of adoption, in which we cry; Father, Father.

¹⁷ And if children, indeed heirs; truly heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if we suffer together, in order that we may also be glorified together. ¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of these present times are not worthy to be compared to the glory which is about to be revealed in us.

²⁸ But we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose. ²⁹ Because whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren: ³⁰ and whom He did foreknow, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them He also glorified. ³¹ Then what shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² Indeed he who spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with him, freely give us all things? ³³ Who will lay anything to the charge of God's elect? ³⁴ It is God who justifies: who is he that condemns? It is Christ who died, and rather who is risen, who is on the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding in our behalf. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ As has been written, that We are killed all day for thy sake; we are counted as sheep of the slaughter.

³⁶ As has been written, that We are killed all day for thy sake; we are counted as sheep of the slaughter. ³⁷ But in all these we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come,

³⁸ For I am persuaded that, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, ³⁹ nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹ I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

¹¹ for the children not having been born, neither having done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election not of works, but of him that calleth,

¹⁵ For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I do have mercy, and I will commiserate whom I do commiserate. ¹⁶ Then it is not of him that willeth, nor him that runneth, but of God who shows mercy. ¹⁷ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing have I raised you up, that I may show forth my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth. ¹⁸ Then therefore he has mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardens. ¹⁹ Then thou wilt say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will? ²⁰ O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus? ²¹ Has not the potter the right of the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? ²² But if God, wishing to show forth his indignation and make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of indignation having been perfected unto destruction: ²³ and in order that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he before prepared unto glory? ²⁴ whom he called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles:

³³ as has been written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: and he that believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

⁵ Thus then there is even at this time a remnant left according to the election of grace: ⁶ and if by grace, it is not at all by works: since in that case grace is no more grace.

⁶ But having gifts differing according to the grace given unto us, whether prophecy, it is according to the analogy of faith; ⁷ or ministry, it is in the ministry; or he that teacheth, in teaching; ⁸ or he that exhorteth, in exhortation; or he that giveth, with a single eye; he that presideth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

¹⁹ avenging not yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it has been written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.

⁵ For one indeed judges a day above a day: another judges every day (alike); let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind.

¹⁴ I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: except to him who considers it unclean, to him it is unclean.

¹² And again, Isaiah says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope. ¹³ And the God of hope fill you in all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Ghost. ¹⁴ But I am indeed persuaded, my brethren, concerning you, that you are also full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, being able also to admonish one another.

³⁰ But I exhort you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you cooperate with me in your prayers to God in my behalf; ³¹ in order that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and my ministry may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem; ³² in order that having come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.

²⁵ To Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery having been hidden during the eternal times, ²⁶ but having now indeed been made manifest, through the prophetical scriptures, and having been made known to all the Gentiles, according to the commandment of the eternal God, unto the obedience of faith;

¹ Paul, called an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes,

⁶ as the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you;

¹⁸ For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those who are saved it is the power of God.

⁴ And my speech and my preaching were not in the persuasive words of wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and the power:

¹³ the work of each will be made manifest: for the day will reveal it, because it is revealed by fire; and the same fire will try the work of each what soil it is.

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

²¹ So let no one boast among men; for all things are yours; ²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come.

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.

⁹ For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles the last, as exposed to death: that we may become a theater to the world, and to angels, and to men. 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.

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;

¹⁷ For if I do this willingly, I have a reward: but if unwillingly, I have been intrusted with a dispensation.

²⁶ Death the last enemy is destroyed.

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. ⁵⁵ O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?

⁸ But I shall abide in Ephesus until Pentecost;

¹⁸ for they refreshed my spirit and yours. Acknowledge ye therefore them that are such. ¹⁹ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca along with the church and their house salute you.

¹ Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Timothy, to the church of God which is at Corinth, along with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

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.

²⁰ For so many promises of God, in Him are yes; therefore indeed through him they are Amen unto the glory to God through us.

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.

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;

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.

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.

⁶ by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, ⁷ by the word of truth, by the power of God; through the arms of righteousness right and left,

¹ For indeed concerning the ministry which is to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you.

¹² Because the ministry of this free-will offering is not only supplying the deficiencies of the saints, but also superabounding through much thanksgiving to God; ¹³ through the approval of this ministry, glorifying God in the submission of your testimony to the gospel of Christ, and the purity of your fellowship unto them and unto all; ¹⁴ and through their prayer in your behalf, earnestly longing to see you on account of the grace of God superabounding unto you.

²³ Are they the ministers of Christ? (I speak as a mad man,) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes more abundantly, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often; ²⁴ from the Jews five times I received forty stripes save one, ²⁵ thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a day and a night I spent in the deep. ²⁶ Often in journeys, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; ²⁷ in labor and in toil, in vigils often, in hunger and in thirst, in fastings often, in cold and in nakedness.

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. ¹⁰ Therefore I delight in infirmities, in insults, in difficulties, in persecutions, and in tight places, for Christ's sake: for when I am without strength, then I am dynamite.

¹⁴ and I was prominent in Judaism above many comrades in my race, being exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

⁷ but on the contrary, seeing that I am intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, like Peter of the circumcision,

⁴ You have been divorced from Christ, whosoever are justified by law: you have fallen from grace.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is divine love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

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.

⁹ having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his own good pleasure, which he purposed in himself

¹¹ in whom we were also chosen by lot, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things within us according to the counsel of his own will; ¹² that we should be unto the praise of his glory, who first exercised hope in Christ: 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,

¹⁶ I do not cease giving thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers;

¹⁸ the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the saints,

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,

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹ not of works, in order that no one may boast:

²² in whom also you are built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.

¹ Therefore I Paul, the prisoner of Christ for the sake of you Gentiles,

¹ Therefore I Paul, the prisoner of Christ for the sake of you Gentiles, ² if indeed you have heard the economy of the grace of God which is given to me unto you; ³ that according to revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I formerly wrote to you briefly, ⁴ according to which you, reading, are able to know my understanding in the mystery of Christ; ⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets through the Spirit; ⁶ that the Gentiles are to be fellow-heirs, and the same body, and partakers of the promise of Christ Jesus through the gospel,

⁶ that the Gentiles are to be fellow-heirs, and the same body, and partakers of the promise of Christ Jesus through the gospel, ⁷ whose minister I became, according to the gift of the grace of God which was given unto me; according to the working of his power. ⁸ To me, the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

¹¹ according to the purpose of the ages which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹³ Therefore I ask that you faint not in my tribulations in your behalf, which is your glory.

¹ Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you to walk worthily of the calling with which you are called,

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,

¹⁸ Be not drunk with wine, in which there is riot, but be ye filled with the Spirit;

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

⁷ as it is righteous for me to think in behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, that you are all my fellow-partakers of the grace. ⁸ For God is my witness, how I long after you in the affections of Jesus Christ.

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.

²⁷ Only live worthily of the gospel of Christ: in order that, whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I hear those things concerning you, that you are standing in one spirit, with one soul contending for the faith of the gospel;

²¹ for all are seeking after their own, and not the things of Jesus Christ.

²⁶ since he was longing after you all, and grieving, because you heard that he was sick.

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,

¹⁰ to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

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.

¹ So, my beloved and longed for brethren, my joy and my crown, stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

⁹ Whatsoever things you have indeed learned and received and heard and seen in me, do the same: and the God of peace will be with you.

¹³ I can do all things through him who fills me up with dynamite.

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the divine love which you have toward all the saints.

⁸ who also having revealed to us your divine love in the Spirit.

¹¹ being impowered with all power, according to the might of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy;

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;

²⁶ the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from the generations: but is now made manifest to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

¹¹ and Jesus, called Justus, who being of the circumcision: these are my only fellow-laborers in the kingdom of God, who have been made a comfort to me.

² We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention in our prayers; ³ incessantly remembering your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before God even our Father;

¹⁶ forbidding that we should speak to the Gentiles in order that they may be saved; that they may fill up their sins always: but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. ¹⁷ But, brethren, we having been absent from you for the space of an hour, in presence, not in heart, we were the more exceedingly anxious to see your face with much desire.

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing, except you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

⁴ For indeed, when we were with you, we foretold you that we are about to suffer tribulation; as indeed took place, and you know it.

¹⁰ night and day praying incessantly that we may see your face, and perfect the deficiencies of your faith?

⁷ For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.

⁴ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may overtake you like a thief:

¹⁹ Quench not the Spirit;

²¹ but prove all things; and hold fast to the beautiful;

⁸ then indeed will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will remove by the spirit of his mouth, and will exterminate by the brightness of his coming;

¹³ But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning unto salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth; ¹⁴ unto which He also called you through our gospel, unto the possession of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹ Paul, the apostle of Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Jesus Christ our hope; ² to Timothy, my beloved son in the faith. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. ³ As I exhorted you to remain in Ephesus, I going into Macedonia, in order that you may command certain ones not to teach heterodoxy,

⁵ but the end of the commandment is divine love out of a clean heart and a good conscience and faith free from hypocrisy:

⁷ wishing to be teachers of the law, not knowing either what they are saying, or concerning what things they do affirm.

¹⁰ for fornicators, for Sodomites, for kidnapers, for liars, for perjurers, and if any thing else is opposed to healthy teaching; ¹¹ according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.

¹⁴ but the grace of our Lord with faith and the divine love which is in Christ Jesus superabounded.

¹⁹ having faith and a good conscience; which some having cast away have made shipwreck concerning the faith;

⁶ the one having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in due time; ⁷ in which I have been placed a herald and an apostle I speak the truth, I lie not, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and in truth.

⁶ Submitting these things to the brethren, you will be a beautiful minister of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of faith, and the beautiful teaching which you have followed;

¹⁴ Do not neglect the gift which is in you, which was given unto you through prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

³ If any one teaches another doctrine, and does not give heed to the sound words which belonged to our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

¹⁹ laying up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed. ²⁰ O Timothy, stand guard over that which has been committed to you, avoiding unsanctified, empty talks and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called,

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the commandment of life which is in Christ Jesus,

⁵ having received the remembrance of the unhypocritical faith which is in you; which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded that it is in you also.

⁸ Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor me his prisoner: but suffer affliction for the sake of the gospel according to the power of God;

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.

¹⁴ stand guard over the beautiful deposit through the Holy Ghost who dwells in us.

¹⁶ May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because frequently he refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

¹⁸ May the Lord grant unto him to find mercy with the Lord in that day. And so many things as he ministered in Ephesus, you know better.

¹ Therefore, my child, be thou filled up with dynamite in the grace which is in Christ Jesus, ² and whatsoever things thou hast heard with me through many witnesses, commit thou the same to faithful men, who will be able also to teach others. ³ Suffer affliction, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

⁹ in whom I suffer affliction as an evil-doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

¹¹ It is a faithful saying: For if we die along with him, we will also live with him: ¹² if we endure, we will truly reign with him: if we shall deny him, he will also deny us:

¹⁴ Remember these things, testifying before God, that they shall not fight with words, profitable unto nothing, for the overturning of those who hear.

¹⁰ Burt you have followed my teaching, leadership, purpose, faith, long suffering, divine love, patience, ¹¹ persecutions, sufferings; such as came to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; such persecutions as I endured: and the Lord delivered me out of them all. ¹² But truly all wishing to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

¹⁴ But abide thou in those things which thou hast learned and in which thou hast been instructed, knowing from whom thou hast learned; ¹⁵ and that from an infant thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

² preach the word: be instant in season and out of season; convict, exhort, rebuke, with all longsuffering and teaching.

⁵ But be thou sober in all things, suffer affliction, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

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. ⁹ Hasten to come to me quickly. ¹⁰ For Demas has left me, having loved the present age, and is gone into Thessalonica; Crescents into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia. ¹¹ Luke alone is with me. Having taken Mark, bring him with you: for he is useful unto me for the ministry. ¹² But I sent Tychicus into Ephesus.

¹⁶ In my first defence no one stood by me, but all left me: may it not be charged against them:

¹⁶ In my first defence no one stood by me, but all left me: may it not be charged against them: ¹⁷ but the Lord stood by me, and impowered me; in order that the preaching through me might be fulfilled, and all the Gentiles hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁷ but the Lord stood by me, and impowered me; in order that the preaching through me might be fulfilled, and all the Gentiles hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁹ Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

²¹ Hasten to come before winter. Eubulus and Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers salute you.

² in the hope of eternal life, which God who cannot lie, promised before the eternal times, ³ and manifested in his own seasons his word by preaching, with which I am intrusted, according to the commandment of God our Saviour; ⁴ to Titus, my beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Saviour.

⁹ holding that which is according to the teaching of the faithful word, in order that he may be able both to exhort with healthy teaching, and to convict the opposers.

¹ But speak you those things which become healthy teaching.

⁸ the sound word, irrefutable, in order that the adversary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning us.

¹¹ For the grace of God, that brings salvation to all men, has appeared,

¹³ looking for the blessed hope even the appearing of the glory of our great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus;

⁴ but when the goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour appeared,

⁴ but when the goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour appeared, ⁵ not from works which are in righteousness, which we did, but according to his own mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renewal of the Holy Ghost,

⁷ For I had much joy and consolation over your divine love, because the affections of the saints have been refreshed by you, O brother.

²⁰ Yea, brother, let me rejoice over you in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.

¹⁴ Then since the children have inherited blood and flesh, he likewise also received the same, in order that through death he might set at nought him who has the power of death, that is, the devil; ¹⁵ and might reconcile them whosoever were subject to bondage all their life through the fear of death.

¹⁵ and might reconcile them whosoever were subject to bondage all their life through the fear of death.

¹⁸ For in that he himself suffered being tempted, he is able to succor those who are tempted.

¹ Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our profession;

⁶ but Christ was as a son, over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold fast the boldness and rejoicing of hope firm unto the end.

¹⁴ Therefore having a great high priest, having entered into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the testimony.

² of the teaching of baptisms, and of the laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

⁹ But, beloved, we are persuaded better things concerning you, and things appertaining to salvation, if indeed we do thus speak. 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.

²⁵ wherefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those coming unto God through him, ever living to intercede for them.

¹⁵ And on this account he is mediator of the new covenant, since there being death, unto the redemption of the transgressions unto the first covenant, those having been called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

²³ and washed as to our body with purifying water: let us hold fast the testimony of hope steadfast; for the one having promised is faithful;

³² But remember the former days, in which, you being illuminated by the Spirit, endured a great fight of afflictions;

³⁴ For you suffered along with the prisoners, and received with joy the spoliation of your goods, knowing that you have a better and abiding possession.

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.

² looking unto Jesus the beginner and perfecter of our faith; who for the joy that was placed before him, endured the cross, looking with contempt at the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

⁸ Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever.

⁵ who are preserved by the power of God through faith unto the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied concerning the grace towards you, sought out and investigated,

¹⁵ but according to the Holy One who has called you. Be ye also holy in all your deportment; ¹⁶ because it has been written, Ye shall be holy; because I am holy.

²⁰ foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but having been made manifest at the last of the times for the sake of you,

²⁰ foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but having been made manifest at the last of the times for the sake of you, ²¹ who through him are faithful toward God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are toward God. ²² Having purified your souls through obedience of the truth unto unhypocritical, brotherly love, fervently from the heart love one another with divine love:

⁹ But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people unto conquest; in order that you may proclaim the virtues of the one having called you out of darkness unto his own marvelous light:

²⁰ For what glory is there, if, committing sin and being buffeted, you endure it? But if, doing good and suffering you endure it, this is grace with God. ²¹ For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps:

¹⁰ as each one received the gift of grace, ministering the same to one another, as the good stewards of the manifold grace of God: ¹¹ if any one speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any one ministers, as from the strength which God supplies; in order that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ; to whom there is glory and power unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

¹³ but as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; in order that you may also rejoice in the revelation of his glory, being glad. ¹⁴ If you suffer reproach in the name of Christ, happy are you, because the spirit of the glory and the spirit of God rest on you. ¹⁵ But let no one of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other people's business: ¹⁶ but if as a Christian, be not ashamed, but glorify God in this name.

¹⁹ So let those indeed suffering according to the will of God submit their souls to the faithful Creator, in good work.

¹ Simon Peter, the servant of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those receiving like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

³ As His divine power having given unto us all things which appertain to life and godliness, through the perfect knowledge of the one having called us to his own glory and virtue:

³ As His divine power having given unto us all things which appertain to life and godliness, through the perfect knowledge of the one having called us to his own glory and virtue: ⁴ through which precious and greatest promises have been given unto us; that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world through lust.

¹¹ For in this way an entrance will be administered unto you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Therefore I will be about to always remind you concerning these things, even though knowing them, and being established in the present truth.

²⁰ For if having escaped the pollutions of the world through the perfect knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and having again become entangled in these things, they are overcome, the last state has to them become worse than the first.

¹ I indeed, beloved, write unto you this second epistle; in which I stir up your pure mind by remembrance: ² to remember the words which have been spoken hitherto by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles:

¹⁸ but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of the age.

² and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us;

⁴ And we write the same things to you, in order that our joy may be full.

²⁵ This is the message which he proclaimed unto you, eternal life.

¹⁴ And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent forth his Son the Saviour of the world.

¹⁸ There is no fear in divine love; but perfect divine love casts out the fear: because the fear has torment; and the one fearing has not been made perfect in the divine love.

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

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² The one having the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God has not the life.

¹² The one having the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God has not the life. ¹³ I have written these things unto you, in order that you may know that you have eternal life; to those who believe on the name of the Son of God.

³ Beloved, making all haste to write to you concerning our common salvation, I had need to write to you, exhorting you to agonize for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

⁵ But I wish you to remember, once having known all these things, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, destroyed them that believed riot, the second time:

²⁴ But to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to establish you blameless in the presence of his glory with rejoicing.

² who witnessed the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as to so many things as he saw.

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.

¹ To the angel who is in the church at Ephesus write; The one holding the seven stars in his right hand, the one walking about in the midst of the golden candlesticks, says these things;

⁷ Let the one having ears, hear what the Spirit says to the churches; to him who conquers I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

²⁵ Moreover hold fast that which you have, until I shall come.

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

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

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.

¹¹ And they conquered him through the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony; and with divine love they love not their life unto death.

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

⁸ The beast which you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and go into perdition: and those dwelling upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, seeing the beast, because he was, and is not, and will be.

¹ After these things I saw another angel coming down out of the heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lighted with his glory.

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

¹⁴ And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

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.

¹ And he shewed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out from the throne of God and the Lamb. ² In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, is the tree of life, producing twelve manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

¹⁴ Happy are those who wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city.

¹⁷ Both the Spirit and the bride are saying, Come. And let the one hearing say, Come. And let the one thirsting come; let the one who is willing receive the water of life freely.
