¹ PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: ² grace unto you and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ³ We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is fit, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all towards each other aboundeth: ⁴ so that we ourselves make our boast of you among the churches of God, for your patience and fidelity under all your persecutions and afflictions which ye endure: ⁵ which is a manifest proof of the righteous judgment of God, that ye should be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: ⁶ seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; ⁷ and to you who are troubled, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with his mighty angels, ⁸ in a flame of fire, taking vengeance of them that know not God, and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁹ who shall receive punishment, even eternal perdition, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power: ¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired by all those who believe; because our testimony was believed among you in that day. ¹¹ Wherefore also we pray continually for you, that our God would count you worthy of the calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: ¹² that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified by you, and you by him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.

² and sent Timothy our brother, and a minister of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of Christ, that he might stablish you, and comfort you concerning your faith: ³ that no man might be shaken by these tribulations; for ye yourselves know that thereunto we are appointed. ⁴ For when we were with you, we told you before that we were about to suffer tribulation; as also it came to pass, and ye know. ⁵ For this cause also, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your fidelity, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labour should be in vain. ⁶ But now when Timothy returned to us from you, and brought us the glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye retain a kind remembrance of us always, earnestly desirous to see us, as we are also to see you: ⁷ for this cause we have felt consolation, brethren, in you under all our tribulation and distress, because of your fidelity. ⁸ For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

³ knowing that the proof of your faith produceth patience. ⁴ But let patience have its work perfected, that ye may be perfect and complete, deficient in nothing.

¹² giving thanks to God, even the Father, who hath made us meet for a portion in the inheritance of the saints in light;

⁶ seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; ⁷ and to you who are troubled, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with his mighty angels,

¹¹ Wherefore also we pray continually for you, that our God would count you worthy of the calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

¹² if we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him: if we renounce him, he also will renounce us:

³² But remember the past days in which, after ye had been illuminated, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings; ³³ partly while publicly exposed to revilings and tribulations, partly as being in communion with those who were treated in this manner.

¹⁴ If ye suffer reproach for the name of Christ, blessed are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: by them indeed he is blasphemed, but by you he is glorified. ¹⁵ Let no one of you then suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or a meddler in other persons' business. ¹⁶ But if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him give glory to God on this very account. ¹⁷ For now is the time when judgment is commencing at the house of God; and if it begin with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous man is hardly saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

⁴ Thou hast a few names even in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white robes, for they are worthy.

⁴ Who should not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? because thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee, because thy righteous judgments are made evident.

⁷ And I heard another angel from the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments.

² because true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, that corrupted the earth with her whoredom, and hath avenged the blood of his servants shed by her hand.

²⁵ But he that is guilty of injustice shall receive punishment for the wrong he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, How long will it be, O sovereign, the holy one and the true, ere thou judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?

¹⁸ Though the nations were incensed, yet thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to all who fear thy name, to the small and to the great; and to destroy those who have destroyed the earth.

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, O Lord, who art, and who wast, even the holy one, because thou hast judged these things. ⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

²⁰ Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye the holy apostles and prophets, for God hath adjudged her to punishment, for the judgment inflicted on you by her.

³⁹ the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. ⁴⁰ As therefore the zizane are gathered, and burned in the fire; just so shall it be at the end of this world. ⁴¹ The Son of man shall send out his angels, and shall gather together out of his kingdom all things offensive, and those who practise iniquity; ⁴² and will cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³ Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

²⁷ For the Son of man shall hereafter come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he recompense every man according to his practice.

³¹ But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

⁶⁴ Jesus saith to him, Thou hast spoken [the fact]. Moreover I tell you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

³⁸ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, before this adulterous and sinful generation; of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.

⁶² Then said Jesus, I am. And ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou hast received thy good things during thy life, and Lazarus, in like manner, what was afflictive: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

³⁰ Just so will it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.

³ All things were made by him; and without him was not one thing made that was made.

⁵¹ And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I tell you, From henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

¹¹ who also said to them, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in the same manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

¹⁷ For our momentary light affliction worketh for us a transcendently far more exceeding eternal weight of glory;

² grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ for by him were all things created, celestial and terrestrial, visible or invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers, all were created by him, and for him:

¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first: ¹⁷ then we who are alive, who remain, shall be caught up together with them into the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord.

¹³ expecting the blessed hope, and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

¹ LET us fear then lest, though a promise be left of entering into his rest, any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining it.

⁹ A sabbatical rest then still remaineth for the people of God.

¹¹ Let us then earnestly endeavour to enter into that rest, lest any person fall after the same example of unbelief.

²⁸ so Christ having been once offered in sacrifice to bear the sins of men, will appear the second time without sin, to those who expect him, for their salvation.

²² who is at the right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and dominations and powers being put in subjection under him.

¹⁴ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied also of these men, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with myriads of his saints, ¹⁵ to execute judgment against all men, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have impiously committed, and of all the bitter words which impious offenders have spoken against him.

⁷ Behold! he is coming with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall lament bitterly, smiting their bosoms, because of him: even so! Amen.

¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are persons who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun scorch them, nor any burning heat. ¹⁷ Because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, as a shepherd, and lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, from henceforward: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may have rest from their labours; but their works follow after them.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and one sat upon it, from whose presence fled the earth and the heaven, and no place was found for them.

⁴ And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor shall mourning, nor crying, nor toil be any more: because the former things are passed away.

⁶ And he said to me, These words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets hath sent his angel to shew to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass.

⁹ And he said to me, See thou do it not; for I am a fellow-servant of thine, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who observe the words of this book: worship God.

¹⁶ I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star.

⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

⁴⁶ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

¹⁹ Now this is the condemnation, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

¹⁹ Then said they to him, Where is thy father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.

⁷ And the word of God increased: and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied greatly; and a vast body of the priests were obedient to the faith.

⁵ through whom we have received grace and apostolic mission among all nations for his name, to bring them to the obedience of faith:

²⁸ And since they thought not fit to hold the Deity in acknowledgment, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to practise deeds unbecoming;

⁷ to those who, in the patient practice of good works, seek glory and honour and immortality—eternal life. ⁸ But to those who are of a contentious spirit, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath;

¹⁶ Do ye not know, that to whomsoever ye present yourselves servants to obey, ye are his servants to whom ye obey; if of sin unto death, or of obedience, unto righteousness?

¹⁶ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?"

¹⁸ For I will not dare to say any thing of those things which Christ hath not wrought by my ministry, to engage the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

²⁶ but is now made manifest, and by the prophetical scriptures, according to the commandment of the eternal God, notified to all the Gentiles to bring them to the obedience of faith:

³⁴ Awake as the righteous, and sin not; for some have an ignorance of God: I speak this to your shame.

⁵ laying low proud reasonings, and every high thing which exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and making every thought captive to the obedience of Christ:

¹ O INFATUATED Galatians, who hath bewitched you that ye should not obey the truth? To whom Jesus Christ has been described, as before your eyes, crucified among you.

⁸ But at that time when ye knew not God, ye served those who by nature are not gods.

⁵ not in the vile passion of lewdness, as the Gentiles which know not God;

³ how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which, commencing at the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who had heard him;

⁹ and complete himself, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him;

²⁷ but a certain terrible expectation of judgment, and a burning indignation, ready to devour these enemies.

³⁰ For we know him who declares, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." And again, "The Lord will judge his people."

⁸ By faith Abraham, called to go forth unto a place which he should in future obtain as an heritage, obeyed; and he went forth, not knowing whither he was going.

²⁹ for our God is a devouring fire.

² elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by sanctification of the Spirit, that they might be brought to the obedience, and sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ: grace unto you and peace be multiplied.

⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye are, if ye do well, and are not affrighted with any terror.

¹⁷ For now is the time when judgment is commencing at the house of God; and if it begin with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?

⁷ but the present heavens and earth by the same word are treasured up, reserved for fire at the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief by night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a rushing noise, and the first principles of matter in flames dissolve, and the earth and all the works upon it be burnt up. ¹¹ Seeing then that all these things must be dissolved, what manner of persons ought we to be in a course of holy conduct and acts of piety, ¹² expecting and hastening towards the coming of God's day, at which the heavens on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements in flames be melted as wax?

¹⁶ and said to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: ¹⁷ for the great day of his wrath is come, and who is able to stand?

¹⁰ And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

¹⁴ And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found inscribed on the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

⁸ But to those who shrink back through fear, and to the infidels, and to the abominable, and to murderers, and to whoremongers, and to those who use magical incantations, and to idolaters, and to all liars, is their portion [appointed] in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

²³ And then will I profess unto them, that I never knew you: depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.

¹³ Then said the king to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him into the darkness, which is without; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

³⁰ And then shall the sign of the Son of man appear in the heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

²⁴ The Son of man indeed is departing, as it is written of him: but wo to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed! well had it been for that man if he had never had a being.

⁴³ And if thy hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it were better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having both hands to go into hell, into the fire that never will be quenched: ⁴⁴ where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵ And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life halting, than having both feet to be cast into hell, into the fire which never can be quenched: ⁴⁶ where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁷ And if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell: ⁴⁸ where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁹ For every one shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be sprinkled with salt.

²⁷ And he will say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou hast received thy good things during thy life, and Lazarus, in like manner, what was afflictive: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And besides all these considerations, between us and you there is a vast chasm fixed: so that they who might be willing to pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass through to us, from thence.

¹⁴ After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.

¹⁹ whose end is perdition, whose God is their belly, and their glory in their shame, whose minds are occupied with earthly things.

³ For when they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction rusheth upon them, as travail on a woman with child, and they shall in no wise escape.

⁸ And then that lawless person will appear, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming;

²⁹ by how much, think ye, shall he be counted worthy of more condign punishment who hath trampled on the Son of God, and regarded the blood of his testament, by which he was sanctified, as an unclean thing, and hath treated the gracious Spirit contumeliously?

¹⁷ These are fountains without water, clouds driven by a hurricane; for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved.

¹³ raging billows of the sea foaming out their own infamies; stars wandering from their courses, for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved.

¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the fury of God, which is mixed undiluted with water in the cup of his wrath; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: ¹¹ and the smoke of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever: and they have no respite day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the brand of his name.

¹⁴ And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death.

¹⁵ But without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one who loveth and maketh a lie.

²² Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have we not cast out devils? and in thy name done many miracles?

³⁶ But of that day and hour no man knoweth, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father alone.

¹² Now I tell you, that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day, than for that city.

⁴ When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not for death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

¹⁰ And all mine are thine, and thine mine; and I have been glorified in them.

⁶ thus the testimony of Jesus hath been confirmed among you:

¹³ every man's work shall be made manifest: for that day shall declare it, for it shall be laid open by fire; and the fire shall prove every man's work of what sort it is.

²⁴ And they glorified God on my behalf.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, whereby he hath made us acceptable in that beloved one;

¹² that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first had hope in Christ.

¹⁴ which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the final redemption, acquired by him, come, to the praise of his glory.

¹⁸ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he hath called you, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints,

⁷ That he might shew forth in the ages to come the transcendent riches of his grace, in the kindness shewed to us in Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ that now to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions, the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church,

¹⁶ that he would give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man;

⁵ For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in great fulness of assurance; as ye know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes.

¹ FOR ye yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in to you, that it was not in vain.

¹³ For this cause do we also give thanks to God unceasingly, because when ye received the word reported by us from God, ye received it not as the word of man, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which worketh also effectually in you that believe.

¹² that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified by you, and you by him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.

¹² For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed: for I know on whom I have placed my confidence, and am persuaded that he is mighty to guard my deposit unto the great day.

¹⁸ The Lord grant that he may find mercy with the Lord in the great day; and how liberally he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest better than any other person.

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: yet not to me only, but also to all who have loved his appearing.

⁹ But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired by purchase; that ye should publish abroad the excellencies of him, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

¹¹ And all the angels stood in a circle about the throne, and the presbyters and the four living beings, and fell on their faces before the throne, and worshipped God, ¹² saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might be to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

²⁸ for the earth, naturally prolific, beareth fruit; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear.

³² Fear not, little flock! for your Father takes delight in giving you the kingdom.

²⁷ Labour not for the meat which is perishable, but for that meat which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for him hath the Father sealed, even God. ²⁸ Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? ²⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent.

⁹ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you,

³⁰ But whom he predestinated, those also he called: and whom he called, those also he justified: but whom he justified, those also he glorified.

²³ and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon the vessels of mercy which he had before prepared for glory: ²⁴ even us, whom he hath called, not only out of the Jews, but out of the Gentiles?

⁵ having predestinated us for his adopted children by Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

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

¹⁶ have not ceased offering up my praises for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

¹⁹ and what the transcendent greatness of his power in us, who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength ²⁰ which he displayed in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,

¹⁴ For this end I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named; ¹⁶ that he would give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man; ¹⁷ that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ ye may be strengthened to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth and length, and height and depth; ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ, transcendently surpassing knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fulness of God. ²⁰ Now to him that is able to do above all things, exceeding abundantly, beyond what we ask or think, according to the power which effectually worketh in us; ²¹ to him be glory in the church, in Christ Jesus, unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

⁶ being confident of this very thing, that he who hath wrought in you the good work will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all understanding; ¹⁰ that ye may prove the things that are excellent, in order that ye may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ; ¹¹ filled with fruits of righteousness, which by Jesus Christ are to the glory and praise of God.

¹³ For it is God who worketh effectually in you both to will and to perform of his good pleasure.

¹⁴ I press towards the mark for the prize of the divine calling from on high in Christ Jesus.

⁹ For this cause we also from the day we heard it have not ceased praying for you, and beseeching God that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ that ye may walk worthy of the Lord, well pleasing him in all things, in every good work fruitful, and increasing in the knowledge of God; ¹¹ strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy; ¹² giving thanks to God, even the Father, who hath made us meet for a portion in the inheritance of the saints in light; ¹³ who hath plucked us out from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

¹² that ye should walk worthy of God, as calling you into his kingdom and glory. ¹³ For this cause do we also give thanks to God unceasingly, because when ye received the word reported by us from God, ye received it not as the word of man, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which worketh also effectually in you that believe.

⁹ For what sufficient thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice on your account before our God, ¹⁰ night and day most fervently praying that we may see your face, and amply supply the deficiencies of your faith? ¹¹ Now God himself, and our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ direct our way unto you. ¹² And the Lord cause you to abound and overflow with love one to another, and towards all men, as we also do to you: ¹³ to the end that your hearts may be established blameless in holiness before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

⁵ which is a manifest proof of the righteous judgment of God, that ye should be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

¹⁴ whereunto also he called you by our gospel, in order to your acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁴ But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth, ⁵ not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ that justified by his grace, we might become heirs in hope of eternal life.

¹ WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, contemplate the apostle and high-priest whom ye confess, Jesus Christ;

² earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered a little while, himself perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

¹⁰ and hast made us for our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth.

²¹ that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that these also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. ²² And I have given them the glory, which thou hast given me; that they may be one, even as we are one: ²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. ²⁴ Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵ Righteous Father! though the world hath not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ And I have made known to them thy name, and will make it known: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sake he became poor though he was rich, that ye by his poverty should be made rich.

⁴ For though he was crucified in weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God: for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God [displayed] towards you.

⁹ Wherefore God also hath transcendently exalted him, and bestowed on him a name which is above every name: ¹⁰ that to the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings celestial and terrestrial, and infernal; ¹¹ and every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus [is] Messiah, to the glory of God the Father.

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

⁹ for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily; ¹⁰ and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power:

¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired by all those who believe; because our testimony was believed among you in that day.

¹¹ For the grace of God which leads to salvation hath appeared unto all men,

⁷ that the test of your faith (much more precious than that of gold, which is of a perishing nature, though proved by fire) may be found unto praise and honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ: ⁸ whom though ye have not seen, ye love; on whom, though ye have not as yet gazed, yet believing, ye exult with joy unutterable and glorious:

¹⁴ If ye suffer reproach for the name of Christ, blessed are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: by them indeed he is blasphemed, but by you he is glorified.

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be with you, and peace from him, who is, and who was, and who is coming; and from the seven spirits which are before the throne of God,
