¹ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, having been separated unto the gospel of God, ² which He proclaimed beforehand through His prophets in the holy scriptures, ³ concerning his Son, having been born of the seed of David according to the flesh; ⁴ having been ordained the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, from the resurrection of the dead, of Jesus Christ our Lord: ⁵ through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, in behalf of his name: ⁶ among whom ye are also called of Jesus Christ: 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; ¹⁰ praying, if by any means I shall be prospered in the will of God to come to you. ¹¹ For I long to see you, in order that I may impart unto you a certain spiritual grace, that you may be established; ¹² but this is the consolation among you through faith in one another, both of you and me. ¹³ But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that frequently I purposed to come to you, and was hindered hitherto, in order that I may have some fruit among you, as well as also among other Gentiles. ¹⁴ I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and the unwise: ¹⁵ so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. 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. ¹⁷ For the righteousness of God is revealed in him from faith to faith: as has been written, But the just shall live by faith. ¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; ¹⁹ because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God has revealed it to them: ²⁰ for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse: 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. ²² Saying that they were wise, they became fools, ²³ and changed the glory of the invisible God into the similitude of the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of creeping things. ²⁴ Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves: ²⁵ who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: amen. 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: ²⁷ likewise also the men, having left the natural use of the woman, burned in their desire towards one another; men with men working out disgrace, and receiving the reward of their error among themselves which it behooved. ²⁸ And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate; ²⁹ being filled with all injustice, wickedness, vice, covetousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceitfulness, evil affection; ³⁰ whisperers, calumniators, haters of God, insulters, proud, arrogant, practitioners of evils, disobedient to parents, ³¹ covenant-breakers, incontinent, without natural affections, unmerciful, ³² who, knowing the rightfulness of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but they even delight in those who are doing them.

²³ For going through, and seeing your devotions, I also found an altar on which it was superscribed, To THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore I now preach unto you Him whom you are ignorantly worshiping. ²⁴ God having made the world and all things which are in it, being himself Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; ²⁵ neither is he worshiped by human hands, as if needing something, Himself having given life, and breath, and all things to all; ²⁶ and of (one) man he created every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined their predestinated times, and the boundaries of their habitation; ²⁷ that they should seek God, if perhaps indeed they might feel after him, and find him, though not being far from each one of you. ²⁸ For in him we live and move and have our being, as indeed certain ones of your own poets have said, For we are truly his offspring. ²⁹ Then being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that divinity is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the invention of art and the device of man.

²⁹ Then being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that divinity is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the invention of art and the device of man. ³⁰ Then indeed God winking at the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent: ³¹ as He has appointed a day, in which he is about to judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; giving faith to all, having raised Him from the dead. ³² And having heard the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: others said; We will hear thee concerning this even again.

²¹ but having bidden them adieu; and saying, I will return unto you again, God willing; he embarked from Ephesus;

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.

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. ¹⁴ And he not being persuaded, we acquiesced, saying, Let the will of the Lord be done.

¹⁹ And having saluted them, he related each one of those things which God did among the Gentiles through his ministry.

⁴⁰ And he permitting, Paul, standing on the threshold, beckoned with his hand to the people: and there being great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:

¹ Men, brethren, and fathers, hear now my apology unto you.

⁷ and I felt upon the ground, and heard a voice, saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

¹³ having come to me, and standing over me, said, Brother Saul, look up. And I at that hour looked up unto him. ¹⁴ And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee to know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice from His mouth; ¹⁵ because thou shalt be a witness for Him to all men of those things which thou hast seen and heard.

²⁰ and when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I was standing by, and consenting, and keeping the garments of those killing him. ²¹ And He said to me, Go: because I will send thee far away to the Gentiles.

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:

²⁴ And after certain day, Felix with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, coming, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith which is towards Christ Jesus. ²⁵ And he reasoning concerning righteousness and temperance and the coming judgment, Felix, being alarmed, responded, Go thy way for this time; and having received an opportunity, I will call for thee:

¹ And Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul reaching forth his hand, proceeded with his defence:

⁶ And now for the hope of the promise which is from God to our fathers, I stand being judged:

¹⁴ and we all having fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against goads.

¹⁶ But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for unto this have I appeared unto thee, to make thee a minister and a martyr both of those things which thou hast seen, and of which I will appear unto thee; 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.

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 And when it was determined that we should sail away into Italy, they committed both Paul and certain other prisoners to the centurion, Julius by name, of the band of Augustus. ² And having embarked on an Adramyttium ship, about to sail to those places along Asia, we set sail; Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. ³ And on the following day we disembarked at Sidon; and Julius, treating Paul kindly, permitted him having gone to his friends to receive their benefactions. ⁴ And having embarked from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary: ⁵ and having sailed through the sea which is opposite Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down into Myra of Lycia. ⁶ And there the centurion having found an Alexandrian ship sailing into Italy; transferred us into it. ⁷ And sailing slowly during many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not favoring us, we sailed under Crete, opposite Salmone; ⁸ and, with difficulty passing by it, we came into a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city Lasea. ⁹ And much time passing away, and navigation being already unsafe, because the Fast had already passed by, Paul exhorted them, ¹⁰ saying to them, Men, I perceive that this voyage is going to be with peril and much loss, not only with the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives. ¹¹ But the centurion trusted the pilot and midshipman, rather than the things spoken by Paul. ¹² And the harbor being unsafe for spending the winter, most of them projected to the council to depart thence, if perchance they might be able, having arrived into Phoenix, to spend the winter there; a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southeast and the northeast. ¹³ And the south wind blowing, thinking they could achieve their purpose, lifting up a sail, they went coasting along near Crete. ¹⁴ Not long afterward a typhonic wind, called Euraquilo, set in against her; ¹⁵ and the ship having been seized, and being unable to resist the wind, having given away to it, we were borne along. ¹⁶ And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get possession of the boat: ¹⁷ which lifting up they used helps, under-girding the ship; and fearing lest they might fall into Syrtis, lowering the gear, they were thus carried along. ¹⁸ And we being tossed violently by the storm, they were successively making the casting out, ¹⁹ and on the third day with their own hands they threw overboard the tackling of the ship; ²⁰ and neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and there being no small tempest on us, finally all hope of saving us was taken away. ²¹ And there being much fasting, Paul standing in their midst, said, O men, truly it behooved you obeying me, not to depart from Crete, and incur this injury and loss. ²² And now I exhort you to take courage: for there will be no loss of the life of you, except the ship. ²³ For the angel of God, whose I am, and whom indeed I serve, stood by me this night,

²³ For the angel of God, whose I am, and whom indeed I serve, stood by me this night, ²⁴ saying, Fear not, Paul; for it behooveth thee to stand before Caesar: and, behold, God has given thee all those sailing along with thee. ²⁵ Therefore cheer up, O men: for I believe God, that it shall be according to the manner which He has spoken to me. ²⁶ But it behooves us to fall upon a certain island. ²⁷ And when it was the fourteenth night, we being borne along in the Adriatic Sea, about the middle of the night the sailors surmised that some country was coming to them. ²⁸ And having sounded, they found it twenty fathoms; and moving on a short distance, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms;

² And the barbarians extended no small philanthropy to us: for, having kindled a fire, they received us all to it, on account of the recent rain and cold.

⁴ But when the barbarians saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, Surely this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved from the sea, justice did not permit to live.

³ concerning his Son, having been born of the seed of David according to the flesh;

⁵ through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, in behalf of his name: ⁶ among whom ye are also called of Jesus Christ:

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;

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.

¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; ¹⁹ because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God has revealed it to them: ²⁰ for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse:

²⁰ for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse: 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.

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. ²² Saying that they were wise, they became fools, ²³ and changed the glory of the invisible God into the similitude of the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of creeping things.

²³ and changed the glory of the invisible God into the similitude of the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of creeping things. ²⁴ Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves:

²⁴ Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves: ²⁵ who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: amen. 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:

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: ²⁷ likewise also the men, having left the natural use of the woman, burned in their desire towards one another; men with men working out disgrace, and receiving the reward of their error among themselves which it behooved. ²⁸ And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate;

²⁸ And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate;

³² who, knowing the rightfulness of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but they even delight in those who are doing them.

¹ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one judging. For in whatsoever thou art judging another, thou art condemning thyself; for thou judging art doing the same things.

¹ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one judging. For in whatsoever thou art judging another, thou art condemning thyself; for thou judging art doing the same things. ² For we know that the judgment of God according to truth is against those doing such things. ³ But do you consider this, O man, judging those doing such things, and doing the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?

³ But do you consider this, O man, judging those doing such things, and doing the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God? ⁴ Do you look with contempt upon the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God is leading you to repentance? ⁵ But according to thy hardness and thy impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

⁹ Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that is working out evil, both the Jew first, and the Greek;

¹⁵ who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing, and their thoughts accusing or indeed excusing with one another,

¹⁵ who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing, and their thoughts accusing or indeed excusing with one another, ¹⁶ in the day when God will judge the secrets of men through my gospel according to Jesus Christ. ¹⁷ But if you are denominated a Jew, and rest in the law, and boast in God,

¹⁷ But if you are denominated a Jew, and rest in the law, and boast in God, ¹⁸ and know his will, and approve the things which are excellent, being taught by the law; ¹⁹ and persuade yourself that you are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness, an instructor of the ignorant, ²⁰ a teacher of the juveniles, having a form of knowledge and truth in the law; ²¹ therefore do not you who teach another teach yourself? do you, who preach not to steal, steal? ²² do you, who say not to commit adultery, commit adultery? do you, who abominate idolatry, rob temples? ²³ do you, who boast in the law, through the transgression of the law dishonor God?

²³ do you, who boast in the law, through the transgression of the law dishonor God?

² Much every way. For indeed, in the first place, the oracles of God were committed unto them. ³ For what if some did not believe? whether will their unbelief destroy the faith of God?

¹⁰ as has been written, There is no one good, not one: ¹¹ there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks out God;

²¹ And now the righteousness of God without law has been made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

²⁷ Then where is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No; but by the law of faith.

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

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;

¹⁵ For the law works out wrath: for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

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

⁶ For we being yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly:

⁹ How much more then, having now been justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

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

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:

²¹ What fruit then had you at that time in those things in which you are now ashamed? for the end of these things is death.

² For the law of the Spirit of life has made thee free from the law of sin and of death. ³ For there was an impotency of the law, in which it was weak through depravity, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the sin of depravity and for sin, condemned sin in depravity:

⁷ Therefore the mind of depravity is enmity toward God: for it is not subordinated to the law of God, for it is not able so to be. ⁸ But those being in depravity are not able to please God.

¹² Then therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to depravity, to live according to depravity.

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:

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.

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?

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,

⁵ of whom are the fathers, and of whom is Christ according to the flesh. Who is over all, God blessed forever: amen.

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:

³⁰ Then what shall we say? That the Gentiles, not pursuing righteousness, received righteousness, and the righteousness which is from faith:

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

¹⁰ and let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.

¹³ But I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry:

²⁵ I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to this mystery, in order that you may not he wise with yourselves, that blindness in part has happened unto Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles may come in;

³ For I speak, through the grace which has been given unto me, for every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one the measure of faith.

¹⁶ Have the same mind toward one another, not thinking high things, but condescending to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

¹⁸ If possible, so far as it is within your power, living in peace with all men;

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.

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.

¹⁵ But I have written unto you more boldly in part, as reminding you, on account of the grace which has been given unto me from God, ¹⁶ that I should be the minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles may be well received, having been sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

¹⁶ that I should be the minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles may be well received, having been sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

¹⁸ for I will not dare to speak anything save those things which Christ has wrought through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,

¹⁸ for I will not dare to speak anything save those things which Christ has wrought through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed, ¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and around about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;

¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and around about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;

¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and around about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ; ²⁰ but being so ambitious not to preach the gospel, where Christ has been named, in order that I may not build on another man's foundation;

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

²² Therefore indeed I was hindered much from coming unto you:

²² Therefore indeed I was hindered much from coming unto you: ²³ but now, no longer having a place in these regions, and having an earnest longing for many years to come to you,

²³ but now, no longer having a place in these regions, and having an earnest longing for many years to come to you,

²³ but now, no longer having a place in these regions, and having an earnest longing for many years to come to you, ²⁴ as I may journey into Spain, for I hope traveling through to see you, and by you to be sent forth thither, if in the first place I may be satisfied with your company—

²⁴ as I may journey into Spain, for I hope traveling through to see you, and by you to be sent forth thither, if in the first place I may be satisfied with your company—

²⁴ as I may journey into Spain, for I hope traveling through to see you, and by you to be sent forth thither, if in the first place I may be satisfied with your company— ²⁵ but now I journey to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints. ²⁶ For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a certain contribution to the poor who are in Jerusalem. ²⁷ For they were pleased to do so; and they are their debtors: for if the Gentiles participated in spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things. ²⁸ Then having completed and sealed this fruit unto them, I will sail away for Spain by you; ²⁹ but I know that coming unto you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ. 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.

³² in order that having come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.

¹⁸ For such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own stomach; and through fair speeches and eulogies deceive the hearts of the innocent. ¹⁹ For your obedience has come abroad unto all men: therefore I rejoice over you, and wish you to be wise in that which is good, and uncompromising towards that which is evil.

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, ² to the church of God being in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, along with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours: ³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I give thanks to my God always in your behalf, for the grace of God given unto you in Christ Jesus;

⁴ I give thanks to my God always in your behalf, for the grace of God given unto you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ because in everything you are enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge; ⁶ as the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you; ⁷ so that you are deficient in no spiritual gift; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ who will also establish you unblamable unto the end in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.

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. ¹⁹ For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the understanding of the intelligent.

¹⁹ For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the understanding of the intelligent.

¹⁹ For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the understanding of the intelligent. ²⁰ Where is the wise man? where is the scribe? where is the investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness?

²⁰ Where is the wise man? where is the scribe? where is the investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness?

²⁰ Where is the wise man? where is the scribe? where is the investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness? ²¹ For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

²¹ For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

²¹ For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. ²² Since indeed the Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks seek after wisdom;

²² Since indeed the Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks seek after wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness; ²⁴ but to you who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

² For I determine to know nothing among you, except Jesus Christ, and Him having been crucified.

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 Which things indeed we speak, not in the teachable words of human wisdom, but in the teachable words of the Spirit, expounding spiritual things to spiritual people.

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself. If any one seems to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself. If any one seems to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

¹⁹ But I will come to you quickly, if the Lord may will; and I will know not the word of those who have been puffed up, but the power.

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,

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.

¹ Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen the Lord Jesus? are you not my work in the Lord? ² If I am not an apostle to others, but I am to you at least: for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

¹² If others partake of your bounty, shall not we the more? But we have not used this privilege, but we bear all things, in order that we may not give a hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

¹⁶ For if I preach the gospel, there is no boasting to me; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I may not preach the gospel.

¹⁶ For if I preach the gospel, there is no boasting to me; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I may not preach the gospel. ¹⁷ For if I do this willingly, I have a reward: but if unwillingly, I have been intrusted with a dispensation.

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

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.

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.

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. ¹⁹ For being free from all, I rendered myself servant to all, that I may gain the more. ²⁰ And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I may gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law, not myself being under law, that I may gain those under the law; ²¹ to those without law, I became as without law, not being without the law of God, but under the law of Christ, that I may gain those without law. ²² To the weak I became as weak, that I may gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I may indeed save some. ²³ But I do all these things for the sake of the gospel, that I may be its fellow-partaker.

¹ For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

¹ But concerning the spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

¹ But concerning the spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant. ² You know that when you were heathens, you were following after dumb idols, as you were led.

² You know that when you were heathens, you were following after dumb idols, as you were led. ³ Therefore I make known to you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus is anathema; and no one is able to say; Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. ⁴ But there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit; ⁵ and there are diversities of ministries, and the same Lord. ⁶ And there are diversities of operations, and the same God, working all things in all. ⁷ But to each one the manifestation of the Spirit has been given unto profit. ⁸ For indeed to one the word of wisdom has been given by the Spirit; and to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹ to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healings by the one Spirit; ¹⁰ and to another the workings of dynamites; and to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits; and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ and one and the same Spirit works all these in you, dispensing unto each one severally as he willeth.

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.

¹⁴ For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit is praying, but my mind is not fruitful. 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. ¹⁶ Since if you may bless with the spirit, how will one occupying the place of the unlearned say Amen to your blessing? since he does not know what you are saying.

²³ Then if the whole church may come together, and all may speak with tongues, and the unlearned or unbelievers may come in, will they not say that you are gone mad? ²⁴ But if all may prophesy, and some unbeliever or unlearned person may come in, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all;

²⁴ But if all may prophesy, and some unbeliever or unlearned person may come in, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all; ²⁵ the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and thus falling upon his face he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly in you.

² by which you are also saved; which word I preached to you, if you hold it fast, otherwise you believed in vain.

⁸ But last of all he was seen by me, as one born out of due time. ⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace was not vain toward me; but I have labored more abundantly than they all: and not I, but the grace of God with me.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace was not vain toward me; but I have labored more abundantly than they all: and not I, but the grace of God with me.

³⁴ Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak to your shame.

²³ The grace of our Lord Jesus be with 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:

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: ² Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction taking place in Asia, because we were burthened exceedingly, above our power, so that we despaired even of living:

¹⁵ And in this confidence I wished to come unto you sooner, that you may have a second grace; ¹⁶ and through you to go unto Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be sent forward into Judea.

²¹ But the one confirming us along with you unto Christ, and having anointed us, is God.

²³ But I call God to witness to my soul, that sparing you I did not yet come into Corinth:

¹ But I determined this to myself, not again to come unto you in sorrow. ² For if I grieve you, who indeed is the one giving me joy, except the one being grieved by me? ³ And I wrote this same thing, in order that, having come, I may not have grief over those from whom it behooves me to rejoice; and having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

¹² And having come into Troas, for the gospel of Christ, and there being a door opened unto me in the Lord,

¹⁴ But thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and manifesting the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place:

¹⁴ But thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and manifesting the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place: ¹⁵ because we are a sweet savour of Christ unto God, among those who are saved, and among those who perish; ¹⁶ unto the latter a savour from death unto death; but unto the former a savour from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

⁵ not that we are able of ourselves to think anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; ⁶ who also rendered us able ministers of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit creates life.

⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who believe not, in order that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine on them.

⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who believe not, in order that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine on them. ⁵ For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

⁵ For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 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.

⁴ My boldness to you is great, my rejoicing over you is much: I have been filled with consolation, I superabound with joy in all our tribulation. ⁵ For we having come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but in everything being troubled; fightings without, fears within. ⁶ But God, the one comforting the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus; ⁷ and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted by you, proclaiming unto us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more.

¹³ Therefore we have been comforted. But we rejoiced the more exceedingly in our consolation over the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all:

¹² For if there is first a willing mind, it is acceptable according to what one may have, and not according to what he has not.

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.

⁴ for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to God unto the pulling down of strongholds;

⁴ for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to God unto the pulling down of strongholds; ⁵ casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

⁵ casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

⁵ casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; ⁶ and being ready to avenge every disobedience, when your obedience may be complete.

¹² For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain ones of those who recommend themselves: but they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves to themselves, are not wise. ¹³ But we will not boast in things without measure, but according to the measure of the rule which measure God has measured to us, to reach even unto you. ¹⁴ For not as not reaching unto you do we stretch ourselves, for we have advanced in the gospel of Christ even unto you: ¹⁵ and not boasting in things without measure, in the labors of others, but having hope of your faith increasing among you, to be magnified according to our rule exceedingly,

¹⁵ and not boasting in things without measure, in the labors of others, but having hope of your faith increasing among you, to be magnified according to our rule exceedingly, ¹⁶ to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, not to glory according to the rule of others in things made ready.

⁴ For if indeed one coming preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or you receive another spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel which you did not receive, well do you bear with him. ⁵ For I consider that I am not inferior to the chief of the apostles.

¹⁰ The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not cease unto me in the regions of Achaia. ¹¹ Why? because I do not love you with divine love? God knows.

¹⁹ For cheerfully do you, being wise, bear with the foolish:

³¹ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one being blessed forever, knows that I lie not.

⁸ Three times I called on the Lord concerning this, that it may depart from me. ⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most delightfully I will glory the more in my infirmities, in order that the power of Christ may abide on me. 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. ¹¹ I have become a fool: you did compel me. For I ought to be commended by you: for I am not inferior to the very chief of the apostles, if indeed I am nothing.

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;

⁴ For indeed he was crucified from weakness, but he lives by the power of God: for we indeed are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God unto you. ⁵ Prove your own selves, if you are in the faith; examine yourselves; whether do you not know yourselves, that Christ Jesus is in you? unless indeed you are reprobates. ⁶ But I hope that you shall know that we are not reprobates. ⁷ But we are praying unto God, that he may do you no evil, not in order that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and we may be as disapproved.

¹⁴ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

¹ Paul, an apostle, not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,

³ Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁴ who gave Himself for our sins, in order that he might redeem us from the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father:

⁶ I am astonished that you are so quickly removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ into another gospel; ⁷ which is not another: but there are certain ones who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the gospel of Christ.

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. ¹¹ But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel was preached to me, that it is not according to a man; ¹² for I did not receive it from man, neither was I taught it, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹³ For you have heard of my life formerly in Judaism, that I was persecuting the church of God exceedingly, and destroying it: ¹⁴ and I was prominent in Judaism above many comrades in my race, being exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. ¹⁵ When the one having separated me, from the womb of my mother, and called me through his grace, was pleased

¹⁵ When the one having separated me, from the womb of my mother, and called me through his grace, was pleased ¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: ¹⁷ neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

²⁰ Which things moreover I write unto you, behold, before God, that I lie not.

⁸ for the one having wrought with Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision also wrought with me unto the Gentiles: ⁹ and having known the grace of God which was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who seem to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

² I only wish to learn this from you, Did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by hearing of faith? ³ Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect in the flesh? ⁴ Have you suffered so many things in vain? if indeed in vain. ⁵ Then did the one imparting to you the Spirit, and working miracles, among you, do it by works of law, or by hearing of faith?

¹¹ But that no one is justified by law in the sight of God, is evident: because, The just shall live by faith:

⁴ but when the fulness of time came, God sent forth his own Son, having been born of a woman, having been born under law,

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren: Amen.

¹ Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. ² Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

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,

¹⁵ Therefore I also, having heard of the faith among you in the Lord Jesus, and your love which is toward all the saints, ¹⁶ I do not cease giving thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers; 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; 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, ¹⁹ and what the excellent majesty of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the power of his might

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, ²¹ above all government, and authority, and power, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but in the age to come: ²² and has subordinated all things beneath his feet, and given him to be head over all things to the church, ²³ which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all things in all.

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;

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.

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; ⁹ and to shine forth what is the economy of the mystery which has been hidden from the ages in God who created all things;

¹⁴ For this cause I bow my knees to the Father, ¹⁵ of whom the whole family in heavens and upon earth is named, ¹⁶ in order that he may grant unto you, according to the riches of his glory, that you be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; ¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; ¹⁸ being rooted and grounded in divine love, in order that you may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, ¹⁹ and to know the divine love of Christ which transcends knowledge, in order that you may be filled with all the fulness of God. ²⁰ And to him who is able to do exceedingly above all things which we ask or think, according to the power working in us, ²¹ to him be glory in the church indeed in Christ Jesus unto all the generations of the age of the ages: Amen.

²¹ to him be glory in the church indeed in Christ Jesus unto all the generations of the age of the ages: Amen.

⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁸ Therefore he says, Having ascended upon high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to the people. ⁹ But what is that which ascended, except that which descended into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ But the one having descended and the one having ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things, is the same. ¹¹ And he gave some, apostles; some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

¹¹ And he gave some, apostles; some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; ¹² unto the perfection of the saints, in the work of the ministry, in the edification of the body of Christ:

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 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance being in themselves, on account of the blindness of their heart;

¹⁸ being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance being in themselves, on account of the blindness of their heart; ¹⁹ who being past feeling have given themselves up to debauchery, unto the working of all impurity with greediness.

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

⁴ and indecorum, or foolish talking, or indecent jesting, which is not becoming, but rather the giving of thanks:

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

¹² For it is disgraceful even to speak of those things which are done by them in concealment:

¹⁵ Therefore see how you walk about circumspectly, not as unwise, but wise; ¹⁶ buying in the opportunity, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Therefore be not unwise, but understand whatsoever is the will of the Lord.

²⁰ always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

¹⁸ praying with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit in every place, and watching unto this same thing in all perseverance and prayer for all the saints,

²³ Peace and divine love to the brethren, with faith, from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹ Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

³ I thank my God for every mention of you, ⁴ always in all my prayer with joy making supplication,

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

⁸ For God is my witness, how I long after you in the affections of Jesus Christ. ⁹ And I pray this, that your divine love may yet more and more abound in perfect knowledge and all understanding; ¹⁰ in order that you may distinguish those things which differ; that you may be pure and without offence in the day of Christ; ¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

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

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

²² But you know his integrity, that, as a child a father, he served along with me in the gospel.

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

³ For we are the circumcision, who serve the Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, also having no confidence in the flesh:

⁶ in reference to zeal, persecuting the church, according to righteousness which was in the law being blameless. ⁷ Those things which were gained to me, these I counted loss for the sake of 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:

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

⁶ Be solicitous about nothing; but in all prayer and supplication, let your request be made known to God.

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

¹⁷ Not that I seek a gift; but I seek fruit abounding to your credit.

²⁰ To God even our Father be the glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

¹ Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Timothy, ² to the saints who are in Colossae and the faithful brethren in Christ. Grace to you and peace from God our Father. ³ We give thanks to God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,

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, ⁶ having come to you, as it is indeed in the whole world bearing fruit and increasing, as also among you, from the day on which you heard and have known the grace of God in truth;

⁶ having come to you, as it is indeed in the whole world bearing fruit and increasing, as also among you, from the day on which you heard and have known the grace of God in truth;

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. ¹¹ being impowered with all power, according to the might of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy; ¹² giving thanks to the Father, who has made us worthy unto a participation of the inheritance of the saints in light; ¹³ who delivered us from the power of darkness, and transplanted us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

¹³ who delivered us from the power of darkness, and transplanted us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption, the remission of sins: ¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, being the first begotten of all creation,

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, being the first begotten of all creation,

²¹ And you, being at one time aliens and enemies in your minds on account of wicked works, nevertheless he has now reconciled

²⁵ whose minister I became, according to the economy of God which was given to me unto you, to fulfill the word of God,

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

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

⁶ through which the wrath of God comes.

¹¹ where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: but Christ is all things, and in all. ¹² Therefore, as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on affections of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, in which you are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

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. 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;

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;

⁸ For from you the word of the Lord echoed out, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith which is towards God has gone forth; so that we have no need to say any thing:

⁸ For from you the word of the Lord echoed out, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith which is towards God has gone forth; so that we have no need to say any thing: ⁹ for they proclaim concerning what kind of reception we had unto you; and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve the true and the living God,

⁹ for they proclaim concerning what kind of reception we had unto you; and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve the true and the living God,

⁹ for they proclaim concerning what kind of reception we had unto you; and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve the true and the living God, ¹⁰ and to await his Son out of the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus the one delivering us from the wrath to come.

¹⁰ and to await his Son out of the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus the one delivering us from the wrath to come.

² but having suffered, and been abused, as you know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.

⁵ For at that time we were not in word of flattery, as you know, nor in a pretext of covetousness, God is our witness; ⁶ nor seeking glory from men, nor from you, nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as the apostles of Christ; ⁷ but we were gentle in the midst of you, as if a nurse may cherish her children; ⁸ being so desirous of you, that we are anxious not only to give the gospel of God, but our own souls, because you are beloved unto us. ⁹ For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil: night and day working, that we should burden no one of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. ¹⁰ You are witnesses, and God, how sacredly and righteously and blamelessly we were unto you who believed:

¹² and testifying, that you walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. ¹³ And on account of this we also give thanks to God incessantly, because, receiving the word of God from us by hearing, you received it not as the word of men, but, as it truly is, the word of God, who indeed works in you who believe.

¹³ And on account of this we also give thanks to God incessantly, because, receiving the word of God from us by hearing, you received it not as the word of men, but, as it truly is, the word of God, who indeed works in you who believe. ¹⁴ For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Jesus Christ: because you suffered the same things from your fellow tribes, as they also from the Jews;

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. ¹⁸ Because we wish to come to you, I Paul indeed both once and twice; and Satan hindered me.

¹⁸ Because we wish to come to you, I Paul indeed both once and twice; and Satan hindered me. 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? ²⁰ For you are our glory and joy.

² and we sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God in the gospel of Christ, in order to establish you, and exhort you concerning your faith;

⁷ therefore we were comforted, brethren, over you in all our distress and tribulation on account of your faith; ⁸ because we now live, if you stand in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanks are we able to render unto God in your behalf, for all the joy with which we rejoice on account of you before our God; ¹⁰ night and day praying incessantly that we may see your face, and perfect the deficiencies of your faith?

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

¹⁰ night and day praying incessantly that we may see your face, and perfect the deficiencies of your faith? ¹¹ But God himself, even our Father, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto you:

¹¹ But God himself, even our Father, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto you: ¹² and the Lord fill you and cause you to superabound in divine love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also do towards you; ¹³ in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness in the presence of God even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints: amen.

¹³ in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness in the presence of God even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints: amen.

⁴ that each one of you know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor, ⁵ not in the passion of lust, as indeed the Gentiles who do not know God;

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

¹³ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep; in order that you may not sorrow, even as those having no hope.

¹⁷ pray without ceasing;

²⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

⁸ in the fire of flame, dispensing vengeance to those who know not God, and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus:

⁴ the one opposing and exalting himself above everything that is called God or divinity; so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself off that he is God.

⁷ For already the mystery of lawlessness is working: only there is one now hindering, until he may be taken out of the midst;

¹⁰ and in all the deception of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they did not receive the divine love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹⁰ and in all the deception of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they did not receive the divine love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And on this account God sends to them the working of delusion, that they should believe a lie: ¹² in order that they may all be condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness. 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.

¹⁴ unto which He also called you through our gospel, unto the possession of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ and our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, the one having loved us and given eternal consolation and good hope through grace, ¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.

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

³ But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and keep you from the evil one.

¹⁶ The Lord of peace himself grant unto you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

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.

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.

¹¹ according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted. ¹² I give thanks to Jesus Christ our Lord, the one having filled me up with dynamite, because he considered me faithful, having put me in the ministry;

¹⁵ It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief: ¹⁶ but on this account I obtained mercy, in order that Jesus Christ might in me the chief show forth all longsuffering, for an example of those about to believe on him unto eternal life. ¹⁷ But to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only God, be honor and glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

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.

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

¹ But the Spirit says positively, that in the last times certain ones will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and to the teachings of demons, ² speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been cauterized as to their own conscience,

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.

¹⁶ he alone having immortality, inhabiting light unapproachable; whom no one of men has seen, or is able to see: to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen.

² to Timothy, my beloved child. Grace, mercy, peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. ³ I give thanks to God, whom I serve from my ancestors with a clean conscience, as I have incessant mention of you in my prayers, night and day ⁴ longing to see you, remembering your tears, in order that I may be filled with joy;

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; 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,

¹¹ unto which I have been placed a herald, and an apostle, and teacher: 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.

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

⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, who is risen from the dead, from the seed of David, according to my gospel:

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.

²⁰ But in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wood and stone, the former truly indeed unto honor, but the latter unto dishonor. ²¹ Therefore if any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, having been sanctified, well pleasing to the Lord, having been prepared unto every good work. ²² But fly from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, divine love, peace, with those who call upon the Lord out of a clean heart.

² For men will be lovers of themselves, moneylovers, arrogant, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ without natural affections, covenant breakers, devilish, intemperate, furious, opposed to good, ⁴ traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

⁸ In the manner in which Jannes and Jambres also resisted Moses, so these indeed resist the truth; men who are corrupt as to their mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

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.

²² The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.

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, ² in the hope of eternal life, which God who cannot lie, promised before the eternal times,

⁴ to Titus, my beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Saviour.

¹⁶ They profess to know God, but deny him by their works, being abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate unto every good work.

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;

³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I give thanks to my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

⁸ Therefore, having much boldness in Christ to command you to that which is appropriate,

²² And at the same time also prepare for me a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I will be consigned unto you.

²⁵ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

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

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.

⁴ And no one takes this honor to himself, but the one called of God, as indeed Aaron was. ⁵ Likewise Christ also did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but the one having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee: ⁶ as also he says in another place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

⁹ and having been made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all those who obey him;

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

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered up himself without spot to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

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

⁶ but without faith it is impossible to please him: for it behooves the one coming unto God to believe that he is, and he is a rewarder unto them who seek him out. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned concerning things not yet seen, being moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became heir to the righteousness which is according to faith.

²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he went out, as seeing the invisible one.

⁹ Be not carried away with fantastical and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, in which those going round were not profited.

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

¹⁹ But I the more exhort you to do this, that I may the more speedily be restored unto you.

¹ James, the servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the Dispersion, greeting.

⁵ so also the tongue is a little member, and it boasts great things. Behold, how great a wood a little fire kindles!

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.

¹⁵ on the contrary you should say, If the Lord will, and we live, we will indeed do this, or that. ¹⁶ But you are now boasting in your arrogances: all such boasting is wicked.

¹ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 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.

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:

¹⁵ but according to the Holy One who has called you. Be ye also holy in all your deportment;

¹⁸ knowing that you have been redeemed from your depraved character transmitted from your ancestors, not by corruptible things, silver or gold,

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:

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: ¹⁰ who at one time were no people, but now you are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, lint just now having received mercy.

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

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:

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.

¹⁶ but if as a Christian, be not ashamed, but glorify God in this name.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, the one having called you into his own eternal glory in Christ, will himself make you perfect, having suffered a little while, will establish you, will strengthen you, will settle you.

¹² Through Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I consider, I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and witnessing that this same grace of God is true in which you may stand.

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. ² Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the perfect knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord. 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:

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

¹² Therefore I will be about to always remind you concerning these things, even though knowing them, and being established in the present truth.

²¹ For in the olden time prophecy did not come by the will of man: but men moved by the Holy Ghost spoke from God.

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;

⁵ For they willingly forget this, that the heavens were in the olden time, and the earth standing out of the water and through the water, by the word of God;

¹⁷ Then you, beloved, foreknowing watch, lest, having been led away by the delusion of the ungodly, you may fall from your own stedfastness: 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.

³ that which we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, in order that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

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.

¹ Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God; and we are. And on this account the world does not know us, because it did not know him.

⁸ The one doing sin is of the devil; because the devil sins from the beginning. Unto this the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

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.

² In this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God: ³ and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of antichrist, which you have heard that he is coming; and now he is already in the world.

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.

¹⁵ Whosoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, in him God abides, and he in God.

¹ Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving with divine love him who begat, also loves him who has been begotten of him, with divine love.

⁵ Who is the one conquering the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁹ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness of God that he has testified concerning his Son. ¹⁰ The one believing on the Son of God has the witness in himself: the one not believing God has made him a liar; because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning his Son.

¹⁰ The one believing on the Son of God has the witness in himself: the one not believing God has made him a liar; because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning his Son. 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.

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.

³ Grace, mercy, peace, shall be with us from God our Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and in divine love. ⁴ I rejoice exceedingly because I have found some of thy children walking about in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

⁷ Because many deceivers have gone out into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ is coming in the flesh; the same is the deceiver and the antichrist.

³ I rejoice exceedingly, the brethren coming and witnessing to thy truth, as thou art walking about in truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than this, that I may hear of my children walking about in truth.

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

¹ Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called beloved in God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ. ² Mercy to you, and peace, and divine love be multiplied. 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.

⁷ as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, in a manner like unto them committing fornication, and going after other flesh, present an example receiving the vengeance of eternal fire.

¹⁰ But these blaspheme so many things as they know not: and so many things as they understand naturally, like irrational animals, in these they are corrupted.

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.

¹ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show unto his servants the thing which it behooves speedily to come to pass; and he signified having sent by his angel to his servant John;

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from the one who is, and who was, and who is coming; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; ⁵ and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstbegotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To the one loving us with divine love, and having washed us from our sins in His own blood,

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

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;

⁸ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write; The first and the last, who was dead, and is alive, says these things:

¹² To the angel of the church in Pergamum write; The one having the sharp, two-edged sword says these things;

¹⁸ And to the angel of the church among the Thyatireans write; The Son of God, the one having eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like burnished brass, says these things;

²⁹ Let the one having ears, hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

⁷ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; The holy, true one, the one having the key of David, the one opening, and no one shall shut; and the one shutting, and no one shall open; says these things.

¹⁴ And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write; The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God, says these things;

²² Let the one having ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

²⁰ And the rest of the men who were not slain by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood; which are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk:

⁷ saying with a great voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; because the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains of the waters.

⁴ Who may not fear, O Lord, and will not glorify thy name? because thou alone art holy; because all the nations shall come and worship before thee; because thy righteous acts have been made manifest.

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.

⁶ And he said to me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to show to his servants the things which it behooves quickly to come to pass.

⁹ And he says to me, See that you do it not: I am your fellow-servant, and one of your brethren the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this book: worship God.

²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all.
