¹⁷ in order that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, even all the Gentiles, on whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, who doeth these things

¹⁷ And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified;

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.

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

¹⁴ I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and the unwise:

¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

²¹ because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.

²⁶ On account of this God gave them up to the lusts of dishonor: for indeed their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature:

²⁹ being filled with all injustice, wickedness, vice, covetousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceitfulness, evil affection;

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:

¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God.

¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

²⁹ Whether is he the God of the Jews only? is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yea, also of the Gentiles:

⁴ But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt; ⁵ but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

¹⁰ Then how was it imputed? to him, being in circumcision or uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. ¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, and the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had in uncircumcision: that he should be the father of all who believed, through uncircumcision; and righteousness should be imputed to them;

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:

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

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;

⁹ knowing that Christ having risen from the dead dies no more; death no longer has dominion over him. ¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he lives, he lives unto God. ¹¹ So you also thus reckon yourselves dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ.

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. ²⁰ For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

⁵ For when we were in carnality, the emotions of sins, which were through the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

⁷ Then what shall we say? is the law sin? It could not be so; but I did not know sin except through the law: for indeed I had not known lusts, unless the law said, Thou shalt not covet. ⁸ But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, did work in me all concupiscence; for without law sin was dead.

²³ but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

² For the law of the Spirit of life has made thee free from the law of sin and of death.

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. ⁵ For those being in harmony with depravity, do mind the things of depravity, and those in harmony with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit: ⁶ for the mind of depravity is death: and the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.

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

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. 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.

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:

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.

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. 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, 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.

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,

²⁴ whom he called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles: ²⁵ as he says in Hosea, I will call them my people, who are not my people; and her beloved, who is not beloved: ²⁶ and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:

³⁰ Then what shall we say? That the Gentiles, not pursuing righteousness, received righteousness, and the righteousness which is from faith: ³¹ but Israel, following after the law, did not attain unto the law of righteousness.

¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: for the same is Lord of all, rich unto all that call on him.

¹⁷ Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

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. ⁷ What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:

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.

⁹ Let love be free from hypocrisy. Abhorring the evil, cleaving to the good: ¹⁰ kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;

⁸ Owe no man anything, but to love one another with divine love: for the one loving another with divine love has fulfilled the law.

¹² For the night is far spent, and the day is at hand. Therefore let us lay aside the works of the darkness, and let us put on the arms of the light. ¹³ Let us walk circumspectly, as in the day; not with revelries and drunkenness, not with debaucheries and impurities, not in strife and envy: ¹⁴ but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the lust of the flesh.

⁶ The one regarding the day, regards it to the Lord: the one eating, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and the one not eating, eats not to the Lord, and gives thanks to God.

⁶ The one regarding the day, regards it to the Lord: the one eating, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and the one not eating, eats not to the Lord, and gives thanks to God. 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.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ For in this the one serving Christ is acceptable to God, and approved unto men.

¹ But we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. ² Let each of us please his neighbor in that which is good, unto edification;

⁷ Therefore receive one another, as Christ also received you, to the glory of God.

⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as has been written, Therefore I will confess thee among the Gentiles, and in thy name sing praises. ¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Let all the Gentiles praise the Lord; and let all ye peoples praise him. 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.

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.

⁷ so that you are deficient in no spiritual gift; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

²⁹ in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God. 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.

³ for ye are yet carnal. For where there are envy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and walking about according to man?

⁸ But he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

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. ²³ All things are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

¹ Fornication is truly heard of among you, and such fornication which is not among the heathens, that one should have the wife of his father.

¹⁰ not at all with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and the extortioners, or with the idolators; since you ought therefore to come out of the world. ¹¹ For now I have written unto you not to keep company with him, if any one denominated a brother may be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a scold, or drunken, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

⁷ Indeed it is already altogether a small matter to you, that you have law-suits one with another. Why do you not rather stiffer injustice? why are you not rather defrauded? ⁸ But you inflict injustice, and defraud, and that your brethren. ⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? He not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor Sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor scolds, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you: but you have washed, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God.

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:

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.

¹⁵ But if the unbeliever departs, let him or her depart; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. God has called you in peace.

¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

²¹ Have you been called being a slave? let it not be a care to you: but if indeed you are able to become free, use it in preference. ²² For the one having been called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freeman: likewise the one having been called, while free, is the slave of Christ.

²² For the one having been called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freeman: likewise the one having been called, while free, is the slave of Christ.

¹⁷ For if I do this willingly, I have a reward: but if unwillingly, I have been intrusted with a dispensation. ¹⁸ Then what is my reward? that preaching the gospel, I may render the gospel free from charge, in order that I may not use my right in the gospel.

⁶ And these became our examples, in order that we may not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. ⁷ Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them were; as has been written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and arose up to play. ⁸ Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day twenty-three thousand.

³¹ Then whether you eat, or whether you drink, or what you do, do all things to the glory of God.

³ But I wish you to know, that Christ is the head of every man; and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.

¹³ For indeed we have by one Spirit been baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, or bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

¹ If I may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not divine love, I have become a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. ² And if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not divine love, I am nothing. ³ And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I may give my body that I shall be burnt, and have not divine love, I am profited as to nothing. ⁴ Divine love suffers long; divine love is kind; divine love envies not; does not make a display of itself, is not puffed up, ⁵ does not behave itself uncomely, seeks not its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; ⁶ it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but it rejoices in the truth; ⁷ it bears all things, it believes all things, it hopes all things, it endures all things. ⁸ Divine love never falls: but whether there are prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away. ⁹ For we know in part, and prophesy in part: ¹⁰ but when the perfect may come, that which is in part shall be done away. 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. ¹³ But now abide faith, hope, divine love, these three; but the greatest of these is divine love.

¹¹ if then I do not understand the power of the voice, I will be a barbarian to the one speaking, and the one speaking will be a barbarian to me.

¹⁵ Then what is it? I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray with my mind also: I will sing with my spirit, and I will sing with my mind also.

²⁶ Then what is it, brethren? When you may come together, each one has a psalm, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.

³⁴ let the women be silent in the churches: for it is not permitted to them to talk; but let them be subordinate, as the law also says.

⁴³ it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

⁴⁵ As indeed it has been written; The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last man Adam, a life-creating spirit.

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.

¹⁰ But to whom you forgive anything, I do also: for indeed whatsoever I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sakes in the face of Christ;

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

⁶ Because God is the one, having said; Out of the darkness the light shall shine, which shone in our hearts, to the enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

¹⁵ For all things are for your sakes, in order that the grace, overflowing with thanksgiving through many, may abound unto the glory of God.

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.

⁷ (for we walk by faith, not by sight);

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.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constrains us; having judged this, that one died for all; then were all dead;

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. 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.

⁶ by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

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

¹¹ in every thing being enriched in all purity, which works out through us thanksgiving to God.

²⁰ For I fear lest, having come, I may not find you as I wish, and may not be found by you as you wish; lest perhaps strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, calumniations, eavesdroppings, inflations, outfallings, are among you; ²¹ lest, I again having come, my God will humble me before you, and I will mourn over many of those having previously committed sins, and not having repented over the uncleanness and the fornication and debauchery which they have done.

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.

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.

²⁷ for so many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. ²⁸ There is no longer Jew nor Greek, nor bond nor free, nor male and female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ But if you belong to Christ then you are the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

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

¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you may not be consumed one of another.

¹⁹ But the works of carnality are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, debauchery, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, divisions, heresies,

²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, divisions, heresies, ²¹ envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and things like unto these: which I tell you beforehand, as I did previously say to you, that those doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is divine love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, holiness; against such things there is no law. ²⁴ But those belonging to Christ Jesus have crucified carnality with the passions and lusts.

²⁶ Let us not be fond of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

² Bear the burdens of one another, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

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.

¹⁵ for neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

⁴ as he elected us in himself before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless in his presence.

¹⁷ in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may grant unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the perfect knowledge of himself;

¹⁹ and what the excellent majesty of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the power of his might ²⁰ which he has wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead, and seating him on his right hand in the heavenlies,

²³ which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all things in all.

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;

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,

⁵ created life in us in Christ, who were dead in trespasses, by grace you have been saved, ⁶ and he has raised you up, and caused you to sit in the heavenlies, in Christ Jesus:

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.

¹² because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the world. ¹³ But now you are in Christ Jesus, who being at one time far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, the one having made both one, and having broken down the middle wall of partition, 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;

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 because through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

⁶ that the Gentiles are to be fellow-heirs, and the same body, and partakers of the promise of Christ Jesus through the gospel,

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;

² with all humility and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in divine love; ³ endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ⁴ There is one body and one Spirit, as ye indeed are called in one hope of your calling;

¹⁰ But the one having descended and the one having ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things, is the same.

¹⁶ from whom the whole body, being assimilated and knitted together through every joint of the supply, according to the working in each several part, makes increase of the body in the edification of itself in divine love.

¹⁹ who being past feeling have given themselves up to debauchery, unto the working of all impurity with greediness.

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.

²⁴ and to put on the new man, who has been created in harmony with God in the righteousness and holiness of the truth. ²⁵ Therefore, having laid aside lying, speak the truth each one with his neighbors: because we are members of one another. ²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your provocation:

²⁹ Let no corrupt communication go forth out of your mouth, but if anything is good unto edification of need, in order that he may give grace to those who hear.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and blasphemy, depart from you, with all evil.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and blasphemy, depart from you, with all evil. ³² But be ye kind toward one another, merciful, forgiving one another, as indeed God in Christ forgave you.

³² But be ye kind toward one another, merciful, forgiving one another, as indeed God in Christ forgave you.

¹ Therefore be ye imitators of God, as beloved children; 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. ³ But all fornication, and uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be named among you, as it becomes saints;

³ But all fornication, and uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be named among you, as it becomes saints; ⁴ and indecorum, or foolish talking, or indecent jesting, which is not becoming, but rather the giving of thanks:

⁴ and indecorum, or foolish talking, or indecent jesting, which is not becoming, but rather the giving of thanks: ⁵ for you are knowing this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words: for through these the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words: for through these the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

¹⁷ Therefore be not unwise, but understand whatsoever is the will of the Lord.

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

²² Wives, be submissive to your own husbands, as to the Lord,

²² Wives, be submissive to your own husbands, as to the Lord,

²⁴ But as the church is submissive to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives with divine love, as Christ also loved the church with divine love, and gave himself for her;

²⁸ So the husbands ought to love their own wives with divine love as their own bodies. The one loving his own wife is loving himself: ²⁹ for no one ever yet hated his own flesh; but he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the church;

³³ Moreover you also each one thus love his own wife with divine love as himself; and that the wife also reverence the husband.

¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. ² Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise, ³ that it may be well with you, and you may live long upon the earth. ⁴ And fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. ⁵ Ye servants, obey those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in purity of your heart, as unto Christ; ⁶ not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the soul;

⁶ not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the soul; ⁷ serving with good will as the Lord, and not men: ⁸ knowing that if each one may do good, he will receive this with the Lord, whether bond or free. ⁹ And, ye masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening: knowing that their Master and yours is in the heavens, and that there is no respect of persons with him.

⁸ For God is my witness, how I long after you in the affections of Jesus Christ.

¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

²³ But I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ; for this is far better:

¹ If then there is any consolation in Christ, if there is any comfort of divine love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercies, ² fill my joy, that you may think the same thing, having the same divine love, being like-minded, thinking this one thing; ³ that nothing is to be according to self-seeking nor according to vain glory, but in humility esteeming one another better than yourselves; ⁴ looking not each after your own interests, but each after that of others.

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

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, 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:

¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose God is their stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. ²⁰ For our citizenship is in the heavens; whence we are indeed looking for our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

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 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.

⁶ Be solicitous about nothing; but in all prayer and supplication, let your request be made known to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, that passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

⁷ And the peace of God, that passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

¹⁸ But I have all things, and I abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus those things from you, an odor of a sweet savor, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.

⁵ on account of the hope which awaits you in the heavens, which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

⁹ Therefore we, from the day on which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the perfect knowledge of his will in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding, 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.

¹² giving thanks to the Father, who has made us worthy unto a participation of the inheritance of the saints in light;

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;

² in order that their hearts may be comforted, being knitted together in divine love, and in all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the perfect knowledge of the mystery of God, of Christ, ³ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

⁷ having been rooted and grounded in him, and confirmed in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

¹⁰ and you are complete in him, who is the head of all government and authority:

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,

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,

¹⁸ Let no one purposely rob you of your prize by humiliation and worship of the angels, trusting in those things which he has seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his depravity,

²⁰ If along with Christ you are dead from the elements of the world, why are you dogmatized as living in the world,

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.

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;

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:

¹² Therefore, as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on affections of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

¹⁴ and in all these things put on divine love, which is the bond of perfection.

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.

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. ²¹ Ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, in order that they may not be discouraged. ²² Ye servants, obey your masters according to the flesh in all things; not with eye-service, pleasing men, but of purity of heart, fearing the Lord. ²³ Whatsoever you may do, work from your soul, as for the Lord, and not for men;

¹ Masters, award unto the servants that which is right and equal; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

⁶ Let your word be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how it behooves you to answer each one.

¹ Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

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; ⁴ knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election, 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. ⁶ And you became imitators of us, and the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with the joy of the Holy Ghost;

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,

¹¹ as you know, exhorting each one of you, as a father of his own children, and comforting you,

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. ² For you know what promises we gave unto you through our Lord Jesus. ³ For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you abstain from fornication;

⁵ not in the passion of lust, as indeed the Gentiles who do not know God; ⁶ that one should overreach and defraud his brother in a business transaction: because the Lord is the avenger concerning these things, as we indeed before told you and witnessed to you.

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

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.

¹¹ Therefore exhort one another, and edify either the other, as you indeed are doing. ¹² But we intreat you, brethren, to know those who are laboring among you, and standing before you in the Lord, and admonishing you;

¹⁵ See that no one may return evil for evil to any one; but always pursue good toward one another, and toward all.

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

¹⁰ when he may come to be glorified among his saints, and among all those who believe, to be wondered at in that day, because our testimony was believed by you. ¹¹ Unto which indeed we are praying incessantly for you, in order that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness and work of faith, with power; ¹² in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

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.

¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.

¹⁵ consider him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

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

¹⁰ for fornicators, for Sodomites, for kidnapers, for liars, for perjurers, and if any thing else is opposed to healthy teaching;

¹³ being antecedently a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insulter: but I obtained mercy, because I did it in unbelief being ignorant;

²⁰ of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

¹ Moreover, first of all things, I exhort you, that prayers, supplications, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made in behalf of all men;

¹² but I do not permit a woman to dictate or usurp authority over her husband, but to be in silence.

¹ Let the servants so many as are under the yoke, esteem those who are their masters worthy of all honor, in order that the name and doctrine of God may not be blasphemed. ² But let those that have faithful masters not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather let them serve them, because they are the faithful and beloved who are partaking of the benefaction. Command these things and exhort them.

¹⁴ that you keep the commandment, spotless and pure, unto the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁷ Charge the rich in this world not to think high things, nor to hope in uncertain riches, but in God, who richly supplies us all things for our enjoyment;

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

⁹ the one having saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the eternal times,

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.

²³ But reject foolish and undisciplinary questions, knowing that they gender strife. ²⁴ But it does not behoove the servant of the Lord to strive, but to be gentle toward all, competent to teach, enduring evil,

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.

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.

¹ Paul, the servant of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God, and the perfect knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

¹² A certain one of them, their own prophet, said, The Cretans are all liars, evil beasts, slow stomachs. ¹³ This testimony is true: on account of which cause convict them sharply, in order that they may be sound in the faith,

⁴ in order that they instruct the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ to be prudent, chaste, domestic, good, submissive to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

⁹ That servants submit to their own masters, that they be obedient in all things; not speaking back;

⁹ That servants submit to their own masters, that they be obedient in all things; not speaking back; ¹⁰ not purloining, but exhibiting all good faith, that they may adorn the teaching of God our Saviour in all things.

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

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; 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, ⁶ whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

⁶ whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

¹⁶ no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me, and much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord:

¹⁸ If he has wronged you as to anything, or owes you anything, charge this to me.

³ who being the brightness of his glory, and the character of his person, and holding up all things by the word of his power, having made purgation of the sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

⁵ For to which one of the angels at any time did he say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be unto him a Father, and he shall be unto me a Son?

¹³ And to which one of the angels has he at any time said, Sit thou on my right hand, until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

² For if the word having been spoken by angels was stedfast, and every disobedience and transgression received a just recompense of reward;

¹² For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and a quick discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³ And no creature is hidden in his presence: but all things are naked and have been laid open to the eyes of him to whom the word is unto us.

¹ Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

⁶ indeed having fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; having crucified to themselves again the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.

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

¹ But in addition to the things which having been spoken this is the principal thing: We have such a high priest, who sat on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

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.

²⁸ so also Christ, having once been offered up to bear away the sins of many, will appear the second time apart from sin unto salvation to those expecting him.

¹² and he, having offered up one sacrifice for sins, forever sat down on the right hand of God;

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

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.

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.

¹ Therefore let us indeed, having around us so great a cloud of witnesses, having laid aside every weight, and the sin that doth so easily beset us, run with patience the race which is set before us, 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.

⁵ and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art proven of him: ⁶ for whom the Lord loves he chastises, and scourges every son whom he receives. ⁷ Endure unto chastisement; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom the father does not chastise? ⁸ And if you are without chastisement, of which all have been partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons. ⁹ Then indeed, we had fathers of our flesh who chastised us, and we endured: how much more then shall we submit to the Father of spirits, and live? ¹⁰ For they indeed for a few days were accustomed to chastise us according to that which seemed right to them; but he made unto our profit, in order that we might partake his holiness. ¹¹ Indeed no chastisement for the present seems to be truly joyful, but sorrowful: but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who have been disciplined by it. ¹² Therefore hold up the hands which hang down, and the paralyzed knees, ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, in order that whatsoever is lame may not be turned out of the way, but rather may it be healed. ¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification, without which no one shall see the Lord: ¹⁵ looking diligently lest any one may fail from the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up may trouble you, and through it many may be defiled; ¹⁶ lest any one may be a fornicator, or a profane person, as was Esau, who for one morsel sold his birthright.

⁴ Marriage is honorable among all, and the couch undefiled: for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

¹⁵ Therefore let us offer to God a sacrifice of praise continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, confessing to his name.

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.

⁵ But if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all cheerfully and upbraids none; and it will be given unto him.

²⁰ for the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God. ²¹ Therefore having laid aside all filthiness and excess of evil, receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

⁷ Do they not blaspheme the good name which has been called upon you?

¹³ For judgment is without mercy to him that shows no mercy; but mercy glorieth against judgment.

⁴ behold also the ships, being so great, and driven by fierce winds, are managed by the smallest rudder, whithersoever the will of the steersman prefers; ⁵ so also the tongue is a little member, and it boasts great things. Behold, how great a wood a little fire kindles! ⁶ The tongue, a fire, the world of iniquity: the tongue sits down in the midst of our members, and corrupting the whole body, and setting on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy and strife in your heart, do not boast, and lie against the truth.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy and strife in your heart, do not boast, and lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but it is earthly, intellectual, and demoniacal. ¹⁶ For where there are envy and strife, there are contention and every evil work. 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.

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. ¹⁸ But the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to those who are making peace.

¹ Whence come wars and whence come battles within you? are they not from thence, from your pleasures warring in your members?

¹³ Who is afflicted among you? let him pray. Who is merry? let him sing psalms.

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied. ³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having according to his great mercy begotten us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and never fading, having been kept in the heavens unto you, ⁵ who are preserved by the power of God through faith unto the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹¹ searching into what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them, witnessing the sufferings towards Christ, and the glories after these, did show: ¹² to whom it was revealed, because they were ministering not these things for themselves, but for you, which are now proclaimed unto you by those who preach to you the gospel with the Holy Ghost having been sent from heaven; into which things the angels desire to look down. ¹³ Therefore having girded up the loins of your minds, being perfectly sober, hope unto the grace which is conferred on you in the revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹⁴ As children of obedience, not being fashioned after your former lusts in ignorance:

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;

¹⁷ And if you call upon the Father, the One judging without respect of persons according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn with fear,

²² Having purified your souls through obedience of the truth unto unhypocritical, brotherly love, fervently from the heart love one another with divine love:

¹ Therefore having laid aside all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all calumniations;

⁵ and you, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, into a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, acceptable unto God through Jesus Christ.

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:

¹¹ Beloved, I exhort you as pilgrims and strangers, to abstain from the carnal desire which wars against the soul;

¹³ Submit to every human creature for the sake of the Lord: whether to the king as supereminent,

¹⁵ because thus it is the will of God, that doing good you should put to shame the ignorance of the ignorant people:

¹⁸ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked. ¹⁹ For this is grace, if, through the conscience of God, one bears sorrows and suffering unjustly.

²¹ For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps:

¹ Likewise, ye wives, be submissive to your own husbands; in order that, if any do not believe the word, they shall be gained through the deportment of their wives, without the word; ² beholding your chaste deportment which is with reverence: ³ whose beauty, let it not be the external beauty of braiding the hairs, and wearing golds, or putting on of outer garments; ⁴ but let their beauty be the hidden man of the heart, in the purity of the meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is perfection complete.

⁴ but let their beauty be the hidden man of the heart, in the purity of the meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is perfection complete. ⁵ For in this way in olden times the holy wives, the ones having hope toward God, were indeed accustomed to beautify themselves, submissive to their own husbands: ⁶ as Sarah submitted to Abraham, calling him Lord: whose children you have become, doing good, and not fearing any calamity. ⁷ Likewise, ye husbands, dwelling with the wife according to knowledge, as the weaker vessel, extending to them honor, as indeed the equal heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers should not be hindered. ⁸ And finally, all being like-minded, sympathetic, loving the brethren, merciful, humble: ⁹ not giving evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary blessing; because unto this you have been called, that you may inherit the blessing. ¹⁰ For let the one wishing to love life, and to see good days, cease his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile: ¹¹ let him depart from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it:

²² who is on the right hand of God, having gone up into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being subordinated unto him.

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;

⁸ before all things having divine love stedfast toward one another; because divine love covers a multitude of sins:

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.

⁴ and chief Shepherd having appeared, you shall receive a crown of glory which will never fade away.

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.

⁵ And in harmony with this same thing also, add to your faith heroism; and to heroism, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge holiness; and to holiness patience; and patience, godliness; ⁷ and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love.

⁷ and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love. ⁸ For these things, being in you and overflowing, render you neither barren nor unfruitful in the perfect knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ Therefore, brethren, be the more diligent to make your calling and election sure: for doing these things you can never fall.

⁷ and he delivered righteous Lot, being grieved by the deportment of the ungodly in their debauchery:

¹⁴ having eyes full of an adulteress, and unable to cease from sin; beguiling unestablished souls: having a heart which has been made fat with covetousness; children of the curse:

¹⁸ For speaking swelling words of vanity, in the lusts of the flesh they beguile with their impurities, those that have but partially escaped, who are still moving about in their delusion;

¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of the life; 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;

³ And in this we know that we have known him, if we are keeping his commandments.

⁵ but whosoever shall keep his word, truly the divine love of God has been made perfect in him. In this we know that we are in him.

¹⁴ I have written unto you, fathers, because you have known him from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. ¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things that are in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him: ¹⁶ because this is all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ The world and its lust are indeed passing away; but the one doing the will of God abides forever.

²³ No one denying the Son has the Father: the one confessing the Son has also the Father. ²⁴ Let that which you heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which you heard from the beginning may abide in you, you also are abiding in the Son, and in the Father.

²⁷ And the unction which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one may teach you: but as his unction teaches you concerning all things, and it is true, and it is no lie, and as he has taught you, abide in him. ²⁸ And now, little children, abide in him; in order that, if he may appear, we may have boldness, and not shrink with embarrassment from him in his presence.

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.

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. ¹⁵ Every one hating his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in himself. ¹⁶ In this we know the divine love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷ Whosoever may have the sustenance of the world, and see his brother having need, and shut up his sympathies from him, how dwells the divine love of God in him? ¹⁸ Little children, let us love with divine love not in word, nor in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

¹⁸ Little children, let us love with divine love not in word, nor in tongue; but in deed and in truth. ¹⁹ And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our hearts before him; ²⁰ because if our heart may condemn us, it is because God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another with divine love: because divine love is of God; and the one loving with divine love has been born of God, and knows God. ⁸ The one not loving with divine love does not know God; because God is divine love. 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. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us with divine love, we ought also to love one another with divine love. ¹² No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us.

¹⁹ Let us love with divine love, because he himself first loved us with divine love.

²¹ And we have this precept from him, that the one loving God with divine love also loves his brother with divine love.

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.

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.

² on account of the truth which abides in us, and shall be with us forever.

⁹ Every one going forth, and not abiding in the teaching of Christ, has not God; the one abiding in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.

¹³ The children of thy elect sister salute thee.

¹ Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called beloved in God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ.

⁸ Likewise indeed these dreamers also pollute the flesh, and reject lordship, and blaspheme glories.

¹³ wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own disgraces; wandering stars, for which the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

¹⁶ These are querulous grumblers, going forth according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaking swelling words, admiring persons for the sake of gain.

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.

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.

¹⁷ Let the one having ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches; unto the one conquering will I give to him of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone my new name having been written, which no one knows but the one receiving it.

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to receive the book, and to open its seals: because thou wast slain, and didst with thy blood redeem unto God out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

¹² saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength, to our God unto the ages of the ages: Amen.

³ and they are singing a new song before the throne, and in presence of the four living creatures, and the elders. And no one was able to learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been redeemed from the earth.

³ And they are singing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful are thy works, O Lord God Omnipotent; true and righteous are thy ways, thou King of the nations:

⁹ And the people were scorched with a great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, Who has power over these plagues: and they did not repent to give him glory.

¹⁴ These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them, because he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings: and with him are the called, and the elect, and the faithful.

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.

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.

⁸ But to the cowardly, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and the murderers, and the fornicators, and the sorcerers, and the idolaters, and all liars, shall be their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

²⁷ And nothing unclean, and the one doing abomination, and falsehood, can at all enter into it: none except those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

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.

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. ¹⁵ For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and harlots, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one doing and loving falsehood.
