Ephesians 2 Cross References - Haweis

¹ AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins, ² wherein in times past ye walked after the fashion of this world, after the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now worketh with energy in the children of disobedience: ³ among whom also we all have had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as well as the rest. ⁴ But God, being rich in mercy, through the great love with which he hath loved us, ⁵ though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved,) ⁶ and hath raised us up together with him, and made us sit down together in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus. 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. ⁸ For by grace ye are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: ⁹ not by works, lest any man should boast; ¹⁰ for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God hath before prepared us, that we should walk therein. ¹¹ Wherefore remember that ye in time past were Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision made by hands in the flesh; ¹² that ye were at that time without Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and atheists in the world: ¹³ but now in Christ Jesus, ye who formerly were far off, are become nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of separation, ¹⁵ destroying the enmity in his flesh, even the law of precepts, in ordinances, that he might from the two create in himself one new man, making peace, ¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body to God by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby; ¹⁷ and coming, hath preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were nigh: ¹⁸ for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. ¹⁹ So then ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; ²⁰ built up on the foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; ²¹ in whom the whole building exactly cemented together groweth into a holy temple in the Lord: ²² by whom also ye have been built up together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and insatiable of sin; ensnaring souls of no stability; having a heart practised in all the wiles of covetousness; children for a curse: ¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof, but he who doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

¹ NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: ² this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? ⁵ Jesus replied, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

¹⁶ who in the past generations hath suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

³⁰ These times indeed of ignorance God then overlooked; but he now commands all men in every place to repent: ³¹ because he hath fixed the day in which he will judge the whole world in righteousness by the man whom he hath appointed; affording evidence of this to all, by raising him from the dead.

²⁴ Wherefore God abandoned them, through the lusts of their own hearts, unto impurity, to dishonour their own bodies by themselves:

⁹ What then? have we pre-eminence? Not at all: for we have before proved that both the Jews and Greeks are all under sin; ¹⁰ as it is written, "There is not a just person, no not one: ¹¹ there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. ¹² All are turned aside together, they are become worthless; there is none that doeth good, there is not even one. ¹³ Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have spoken craftily; the poison of asps is under their lips: ¹⁴ whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: ¹⁵ their feet are swift to shed blood: ¹⁶ destruction and misery are in their ways. ¹⁷ And they have not known the way of peace: ¹⁸ there is not the fear of God before their eyes." ¹⁹ Now we know that whatsoever things the law saith, it speaks to those who are under the law: that every mouth might be sealed up, and all the world become criminal before God.

²² the righteousness of God indeed by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all that believe: for there is no difference: ²³ for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

¹² Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; even so death passed into all men through him, in whom all have sinned. ¹³ For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed if there be no law. ¹⁴ But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over those who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of him that was to come. ¹⁵ But not as the transgression, so also [is] the gift. For if by the transgression of one the many became dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is in that one man, Christ Jesus, hath abounded unto many. ¹⁶ And the gift [is] not as for one who sinned: for the judgment indeed [came] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [leads] to justification from many offences. ¹⁷ For if by the offence of one, death reigned by that one; much more they who receive the abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Christ Jesus. ¹⁸ Well then, as by the offence of one, [judgment issued] against all men unto condemnation; so also by the righteousness of one, [the gift came] to all men for justification unto life. ¹⁹ For as by the disobedience of one man the many were constituted sinners; so also by the obedience of one shall the many be constituted righteous.

¹² Let not therefore sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the passions thereof.

¹⁸ For I know that there dwelleth not in me (that is, in my flesh) any good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

⁷ Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. ⁸ They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God.

²² But what if God, willing to display his wrath, and to make known what is possible with him, hath borne with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted for perdition:

³⁰ For as ye also in times past did not believe in God, but now have obtained mercy through their unbelief:

¹⁴ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to gratify its passions.

⁷ For who distinguisheth thee? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? But if thou also hast received it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

⁹ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ Yet such were some of you: but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God.

¹ HAVING therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

¹⁵ We who are Jews by descent, and not sinners sprung from Gentiles, ¹⁶ knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law; because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

²² But the scripture hath shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

¹⁶ But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh hath appetites contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these act in opposition the one to the other: so that ye do not the things which ye would. ¹⁸ But if ye are under the conduct of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idolatry, magical charms, enmities, strifes, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, divisions, heresies, ²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, ²³ meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. ²⁴ But they who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and irregular appetites.

² wherein in times past ye walked after the fashion of this world, after the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now worketh with energy in the children of disobedience:

¹⁷ This then I urge and testify in the Lord, that ye walk no more as the other Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind, ¹⁸ darkened in understanding; alienated from the life of God through the ignorance which is in them; through the blindness of their hearts: ¹⁹ who insensible to remorse, have delivered themselves over in lasciviousness, to the practice of all impurity, with insatiable avidity.

⁹ For they who will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful passions, which sink men in the abyss of destruction and perdition.

³ For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

¹ FROM whence come wars and conflicts among you? spring they not from hence, even from your passions, which war in your members? ² Ye eagerly covet, yet have not: ye murder, and are envious, yet cannot obtain [your object]; ye wage war, but have not, because ye pray not. ³ Ye ask, and receive nothing, because ye ask vilely, in order to consume it on your sensual appetites.

¹⁰ who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God; who had not obtained mercy, but are now the objects of mercy. ¹¹ Beloved, I exhort you, as strangers and sojourners, Abstain from carnal lusts, which war against the soul;

² that he might not spend the remaining space of life in the flesh after human passions, but the divine will. ³ For the time past of life is enough for us to have wrought the will of the heathen, when we walked in all impurities, lewd appetites, excess of wine, revels, drinking-bouts, and abominable idolatries;

¹⁸ Uttering pompous discourses of inanity, ensnaring by the lusts of the flesh, by lascivious impurities, those who had truly escaped from such as live in a course of delusion.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, faithful is he and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

⁸ Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which is a true thing in him, and in you, because the darkness is past, and the true light is now shining.

¹⁶ For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

¹⁶ These men are murmurers, complainers at their lot in life, walking after their own corrupt passions; and their mouth utters hyperbolically pompous expressions, pretending high personal admiration, in order to make their advantage. ¹⁷ But ye, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁸ how they told you that in the last time there will be scoffers, walking after their own ungodly passions.

⁷⁸ through the bowels of mercy of our God; with which he hath visited us, as the dawn of the morning from on high,

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ that every one who believeth on him may not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved.

⁴ Or despisest thou the riches of his kindness and patience and long-suffering, ignorant that this goodness of God is leading thee to repentance?

⁸ But God commendeth his own love towards us, that, though we were yet sinners, Christ died in our stead.

²⁰ But the law was introduced, that the offence might be more abundant. But where sin had abounded, there hath grace abounded more exceedingly: ²¹ that as sin had reigned by death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto life eternal by Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁵ For he saith to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." ¹⁶ Well then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God who sheweth mercy.

²³ and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon the vessels of mercy which he had before prepared for glory:

¹² For there is no difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him.

⁷ in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

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.

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath elected you from the beginning unto salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit, and faith in the truth:

¹⁴ but the grace of our Lord hath exceedingly abounded with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.

⁹ who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before time had a beginning;

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.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto an animating hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. ¹² No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us. ¹³ By this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his own Spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen and bear testimony, that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. ¹⁵ Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God. ¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love which God hath towards us. God is love; and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him. ¹⁷ By this is his love towards us perfected, that we might have confidence at the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world. ¹⁸ Fear is not in this love; but the perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath anguish. He that is afraid is not made perfect in love. ¹⁹ We love him, because he first loved us.

⁶³ The Spirit is the life-giving power; the flesh contributeth nothing: the declarations which I make to you, they are spirit, and they are life.

¹¹ But we believe that we shall be saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the same way as they.

²⁴ justified freely by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus:

¹⁶ Therefore it is by faith, that it might be of grace; in order that the promise might be secured to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

⁶ For even then when we were without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly.

¹⁰ For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God by the death of his son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

⁵ So then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ⁶ But if by grace, it is no more by works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if by works, it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

²⁰ Now the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

¹⁴ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.

¹ AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

⁸ For by grace ye are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:

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

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;

²¹ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

²⁹ And I tell you, That I will no more henceforth drink of this produce of the vine, until that day when I drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father.

³⁷ Blessed are those servants, whom the Master, when he cometh, shall find watchful: verily I say unto you, that he will gird up himself, and make them sit down at table, and come and wait upon them.

²⁹ And I appoint you, as my Father hath appointed me, a kingdom; ³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁶ If a man will be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

³ And if I go and prepare you a place, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

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.

⁴ We have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life. ⁵ For if we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also of his resurrection:

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ;

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first begotten from the dead, that he might be in all things pre-eminent.

¹² buried with him in baptism, in which also ye have been raised up together with him by faith, the energy of God, who raised him from the dead. ¹³ And you, who were dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him, freely forgiving you all trespasses;

¹ IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. ² Fix your minds on things above, not on things on the earth. ³ For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

²⁰ Lo! I stand at the door, and knock: if any person hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and I will sup with him, and he with me. ²¹ He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit on my throne, as I also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father on his throne.

⁴ But God, being rich in mercy, through the great love with which he hath loved us,

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it hath been now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

²¹ to him be glory in the church, in Christ Jesus, unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

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.

¹⁶ But for this end obtained I mercy, that in me, the chief, Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to those who should after believe in him unto eternal life. ¹⁷ Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁴ But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth,

¹² To whom it was revealed, that not for themselves, but for us were their ministrations employed in the things which are now declared unto you by those who have preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; on which things the angels bending forwards eagerly desire to gaze.

⁹ And they sung a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereon; because thou hast been slaughtered, and hast redeemed us for God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation; ¹⁰ and hast made us for our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth. ¹¹ And I looked, and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the presbyters, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, ¹² crying with a loud voice, Worthy is the slaughtered lamb to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing. ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those who are on the sea, and all things which are therein, heard I, saying, To him who is seated on the throne, and to the lamb, be blessing, and honour, and glory, and might for ever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four living beings said, Amen. And the four and twenty presbyters prostrated themselves, and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

¹⁷ And Jesus replying, said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed this to thee, but my Father, who is in heaven.

¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; and he that believeth not shall be damned.

⁵⁰ But he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

¹² But as many as did receive him, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who believe on his name: ¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ that every one who believeth on him may not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

³⁶ He that believeth on the Son hath life eternal: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth upon him.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who he is that speaketh to thee, thou wouldest have requested him, and he would have given thee life-giving water.

²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life.

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.

³⁵ Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more.

³⁷ Every individual which the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out.

⁴⁰ And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁶⁵ And he said, Therefore have I informed you, That no man can come to me, except it be given him of my Father.

³⁹ and by this man shall every one who believeth be justified from all things, from which it was not possible that he should be justified by the law of Moses.

²⁷ So when they arrived they called the church together, and related what great things God had done by them, and that he had opened to the heathen the door of faith.

⁷ When after much dispute, Peter arose, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know that a considerable time ago God chose among us, by my mouth, that the Gentiles should hear the gospel-word, and believe. ⁸ And God, who is the discerner of the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as to us; ⁹ and made no difference betwixt either us or them, purifying their hearts by faith.

¹⁴ And a certain woman, Lydia by name, a seller of purple, from the city of Thyatira, a worshipper of God, hearkened: whose heart the Lord thoroughly opened, to attend to the words spoken by Paul.

³¹ And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.

²² the righteousness of God indeed by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all that believe: for there is no difference: ²³ for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ²⁴ justified freely by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus: ²⁵ whom God hath proposed as the propitiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, in demonstration of his justice for the remission of past sins, through the patience of God; ²⁶ for a demonstration of his justice at this present time: that he might be just, though justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus.

⁵ But to him who doth not work, but believeth in him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned in account for righteousness.

⁹ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation.

¹⁴ How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? but how shall they hear without a preacher?

¹⁷ Faith then cometh by report, but the report by the word of God.

¹⁴ that unto the Gentiles the benediction pronounced on Abraham might come by Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

¹⁹ and what the transcendent greatness of his power in us, who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength

⁵ though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved,)

¹⁰ for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God hath before prepared us, that we should walk therein.

²⁹ For this favour on the part of Christ is granted you, not only that ye should believe on him, but also that ye should suffer for his sake;

¹² buried with him in baptism, in which also ye have been raised up together with him by faith, the energy of God, who raised him from the dead.

⁹ who shall receive punishment, even eternal perdition, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power:

¹⁶ Be not deceived, my beloved brethren. ¹⁷ Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descending from the father of illuminations, with whom there is no variableness, nor shadow of change. ¹⁸ Of his own choice he produced us by the word of truth, that we might be a sort of first fruit of his creatures.—

⁵ who are guarded by the omnipotence of God, through faith to obtain the salvation which is ready to appear at the last time.

¹⁰ He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed on the testimony which God testified of his Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God hath given life eternal to us; and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that hath the Son, hath this life; and he that hath not the Son of God, hath not this life.

²⁰ Wherefore by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified before God: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

²⁷ Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith. ²⁸ We conclude therefore that by faith a man is justified, without works of law.

² For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath cause for glorying; though not before God.

¹¹ (though the children were not yet born, nor had done any thing good or evil, that according to the election of God the purpose might abide, not from works, but from him who called;)

¹⁶ Well then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God who sheweth mercy.

⁶ But if by grace, it is no more by works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if by works, it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

²⁹ that no flesh should glory in his presence. ³⁰ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who hath been made to us of God wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹ that, as it is written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

³ For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. 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;

¹⁶ Just so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

²¹ But he who practices the truth, cometh to the light, that his actions may be evident, as being done for God.

³¹ Then had the churches peace through all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified; and walking in the fear of God, and in the consolation of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

³⁶ But there was at Joppa a woman, a disciple, named Tabitha, (which by interpretation is called Dorcas:) this woman was full of good works and of alms which she did.

¹ THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

²⁹ For whom he foreknew, he predestinated also to a conformity with the image of his Son, that he might be the first-begotten among many brethren.

⁹ For we are God's fellowlabourers: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

⁵ But he that hath wrought us for this very thing is God, who also hath given us the earnest of the spirit.

¹⁷ Wherefore if any person be in Christ, he is a new creation: the old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound towards you; that in every case having always all sufficiency, ye may abound unto every good work:

¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

⁴ as he hath elected us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love:

¹ I THEN, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you, that ye walk worthy of the vocation with which ye are called,

²⁴ and put on the new man, which is created godlike, in righteousness and true holiness.

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:

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

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;

¹⁰ and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge, after the image of him that created him.

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

¹⁰ but as becometh women professing godliness, with good works.

¹⁰ bringing attestation of her good works; that she hath well educated her children, that she hath been hospitable to strangers, that she hath washed the saints feet, that she hath assisted the afflicted, that she hath followed diligently every good work.

²⁵ In like manner also the good works [of some] are previously manifest; and it is not possible that what they have besides should be concealed.

¹⁸ to do good, to be rich in generous actions, to take pleasure in liberality, ready to distribute;

²¹ If therefore a man preserve himself pure from these things, he shall be a vessel for honour, sanctified and highly useful to the master, ready for every good work.

¹⁷ that the man of God may be properly furnished, fully qualified for every good work.

⁷ In all things approving thyself as a pattern of good works: in thy teaching, shewing integrity, gravity, incorruptibility,

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

¹ REMIND them to be subject to princes and those invested with authority, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work,

⁸ Faithful is the saying, and of these things I wish thee firmly to testify, that they who have believed in God be careful to be pre-eminent in good works. These are becoming and advantageous to men.

¹⁴ And let those who belong to us learn also to be pre-eminent in good works for all necessary calls, that they be not without fruits.

²⁴ and let us attentively observe one another, to excite an ardour of love and of good works:

²¹ make you fit for every good work to do his will, producing in you that which is acceptable in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory unto the everlasting ages. Amen.

¹² having your conduct ornamental among the Gentiles: that, whereas they malign you as wicked doers, they may, being eye-witnesses of your good works, glorify God in the day when he visits them.

⁷ but if we walk in the light, as he is himself in the light, we have communion with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

⁶ He who saith that he abideth in him, ought as he walked, even so himself to walk.

²⁸ For not he who is outwardly such, is the Jew; neither is that which is outward in the flesh, circumcision. ²⁹ But he is a Jew who is such inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

² Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn away after the idols that are dumb, even as ye have been led.

¹⁵ We who are Jews by descent, and not sinners sprung from Gentiles,

⁸ But at that time when ye knew not God, ye served those who by nature are not gods. ⁹ But now after having known God, or rather being known of God, how turn ye back again to those weak and beggarly elements, to which again a second time ye desire to be in bondage?

¹² As many as wish to make a fair appearance in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

⁸ For ye were formerly darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light;

³ For we are the circumcision, who serve God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.

¹¹ in whom also ye have been circumcised with the circumcision not made with hands, by the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, through the circumcision of Christ:

¹¹ Where there is no difference whether a man be Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian or Scythian, slave or freeman: but Christ is all and in all.

⁷² to perform mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his own holy covenant:

²² Ye worship ye know not what: we worship what we do know: for salvation cometh from the Jews.

¹⁶ And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: these also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shepherd.

⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, this person beareth much fruit: because without me ye can do nothing.

²⁵ Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And "in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed."

¹⁵ and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We too are mortals subject to the same infirmities with you; preaching to you the gospel, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things which are therein: ¹⁶ who in the past generations hath suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

²⁰ For this cause therefore have I invited you hither, to see and to converse with you; for on account of the hope of Israel am I bound with this chain.

²⁸ And since they thought not fit to hold the Deity in acknowledgment, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to practise deeds unbecoming; ²⁹ replete with all injustice, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, villany; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, evil habits; whisperers, ³⁰ backbiters, God-haters, contumelious, insolent, boasters, inventors of wicked practices, disobedient to parents, ³¹ unintelligent, unfaithful to engagements, unnatural, implacable, unmerciful: ³² who, though they know the righteous judgment of God, that they who live in such practices are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also find pleasure in the company of those who live in these practices.

⁴ who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the gift of the law, and the sacred service, and the promises; ⁵ of whom are the fathers, and from whom as respecting the flesh Christ sprung, who is over all, the blessed God for evermore. Amen.

⁸ That is, not the children of the flesh, these are the children of God: but the children of the promise are accounted for the seed.

⁴ Now concerning eating things sacrificed unto idols: we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. ⁵ For though there are gods so called, whether celestial or terrestrial, (as [of this sort] there are gods many, and lords many;) ⁶ but to us there is one God, the Father; of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

¹⁹ What do I say then? that an idol is any thing, or that which is sacrificed to an idol is any thing? ²⁰ But that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to daemons, and not to God: and I would not have you in communion with daemons.

¹⁶ But to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, To seeds, as unto many persons; but as to an individual, and to thy seed, which is Christ. ¹⁷ Now this I say, the covenant confirmed of God to Christ, the law, which was given three hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, so as to vacate the promise.

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

⁵ because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, which ye have heard before in the word of truth, the gospel,

²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

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

¹³ Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are fallen asleep, that ye be not afflicted, as the rest [of mankind] who have no hope.

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God, and Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace,

¹ PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the order of God, our Saviour, and Lord, Jesus Christ, who is our hope;

¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us;

³⁴ extinguished the force of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, they were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in battle, routed the armies of aliens.

²¹ who by him believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

¹⁵ but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be always ready with your reply to every man who demands a reason respecting the hope which is in you with meekness and fear:

³ And every one who hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off; even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

¹⁴ Simon hath fully related, how at first God graciously looked upon [the Gentiles], to take from them a people for his name.

²¹ And he said to me, Go: for I will send thee forth to the Gentiles afar off.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to convert them from darkness to light, and from the dominion of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance with those who are sanctified by faith which is in me.

²³ for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ²⁴ justified freely by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus: ²⁵ whom God hath proposed as the propitiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, in demonstration of his justice for the remission of past sins, through the patience of God; ²⁶ for a demonstration of his justice at this present time: that he might be just, though justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus. ²⁷ Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith. ²⁸ We conclude therefore that by faith a man is justified, without works of law. ²⁹ Is he the God of the Jews only, and is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, verily, of the Gentiles also: ³⁰ since it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

⁹ Therefore much more, being justified already by his blood, shall we be saved by him from wrath. ¹⁰ For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God by the death of his son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

⁸ Now I say that Jesus Christ was the minister of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: ⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, "For this cause will I confess unto thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name." ¹⁰ And again he saith, "Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people." ¹¹ And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye nations, and laud him, all ye people." ¹² And again Isaiah saith, "There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to reign over the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust."

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

²⁰ Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God exhorted you by us; we entreat you for Christ's sake, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ For he hath made him, who knew no sin, to be a sin offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

²⁸ There is no more Jew or Gentile, there is no more slave or freeman, there is no more male or female: but ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

¹² that ye were at that time without Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and atheists in the world:

¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body to God by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby; ¹⁷ and coming, hath preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were nigh:

¹⁹ So then ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; ²⁰ built up on the foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; ²¹ in whom the whole building exactly cemented together groweth into a holy temple in the Lord: ²² by whom also ye have been built up together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it hath been now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; ⁶ that the Gentiles should be co-heirs, and of the same body, and sharers with them of his promise in Christ by the Gospel: ⁷ of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which was given unto me by the effectual working of his power. ⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

¹³ who hath plucked us out from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love: ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption through his blood, and forgiveness of sins.

²⁰ and by him to reconcile all things to himself, making peace by the blood of his cross: by him, I say, whether they be things on earth, or things in the heavens. ²¹ And you who in time past were all aliens, and enemies in mind by wicked works, hath he now reconciled, ²² by the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and irreprehensible in his presence:

¹⁸ Wherefore also that first testament was not consecrated without blood.

¹⁸ knowing that ye have not been redeemed out of your vain manner of life, derived traditionally from your fathers, by the corruptible things, silver and gold, ¹⁹ but by the precious blood of Christ, as the unblemished and spotless lamb:

¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, put to death indeed in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:

⁹ And they sung a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereon; because thou hast been slaughtered, and hast redeemed us for God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

⁷⁹ to illumine those who sat in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.

¹⁴ Glory in the highest heavens to God! and upon earth, peace! towards men complacence.

⁵² and not for that nation only, but that he should collect into one body the children of God wherever dispersed.

³³ These things have I spoken to you, that ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.

²⁸ And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all,) ye know:

¹ BEING justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, but all the members of that one body, though many, are one body: so also is Christ. ¹³ For by one Spirit we all have been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free men; and we have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

¹⁵ destroying the enmity in his flesh, even the law of precepts, in ordinances, that he might from the two create in himself one new man, making peace,

¹⁵ of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named;

¹⁶ From whom the whole body nicely joined together, and firmly connected by every joint of exact proportion, according to the energy exerted in the measure of every several part, causeth the increase of the body unto the edification of itself in love.

²⁰ and by him to reconcile all things to himself, making peace by the blood of his cross: by him, I say, whether they be things on earth, or things in the heavens.

¹⁰ and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power: ¹¹ in whom also ye have been circumcised with the circumcision not made with hands, by the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, through the circumcision of Christ: ¹² buried with him in baptism, in which also ye have been raised up together with him by faith, the energy of God, who raised him from the dead. ¹³ And you, who were dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him, freely forgiving you all trespasses; ¹⁴ and hath blotted out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was the obstacle to us, and took it from the midst, nailing it to the cross;

²⁰ If then ye have been dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye dogmatically taught,

¹⁵ And let the peace of God set up its throne in your hearts, whereunto also ye have been called in one body; and be ye thankful.

² to whom also Abraham gave a tenth share of all the spoil: being, as the interpretation of his name imports, first, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, that is, King of peace:

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great pastor of the sheep, by the blood of the everlasting testament,

¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who continueth not in all the things written in the book of the law to do them."

¹⁴ and hath blotted out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was the obstacle to us, and took it from the midst, nailing it to the cross;

¹⁶ who was not made such by the law of a carnal commandment, but by the power of a life indissoluble.

¹³ In calling it a new covenant, he hath made the first antiquated. Now what is antiquated and grown aged, is near evanescence.

⁹ which figurative representation [continues] unto the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, with respect to conscience, make him perfect who performs the services, ¹⁰ as they consist only of meats, and drinks, and different ablutions, and corporal services, until the appointed time of perfect reformation.

²³ There was a necessity therefore that the representations of the things in heaven should be purified by these; but the celestial things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

¹ NOW the law, having a shadow of the good things which were to come, not the very substance of the things, cannot possibly, by the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make those perfect who approach [God]; ² else they would have discontinued to make the offering, because they who performed the service being once made clean, would have had no more sense of sins on their conscience. ³ But in these [sacrifices] there is a commemoration of sins every year. ⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sin. ⁵ Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice and oblation thou hast not chosen, but thou hast exactly fashioned a body for me: ⁶ thou hast had no delight in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin: ⁷ then I said, Here am I; (in the volume of the book it is written of me) I come to do thy will, O God." ⁸ Having said before that sacrifice, and oblation, and whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings thou hast not chosen, nor takest pleasure in, (which are offered according to the law,) ⁹ he then added, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He abolishes the first that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ By the which will we are sanctified through the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, entire liberty of entrance into the holies by the blood of Jesus— ²⁰ a way, which he hath consecrated for us, newly opened, and giving life, through the vail, that is, his flesh; ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us come to him with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and the body washed with pure water:

⁶ knowing this, that our old man hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

³ For that which was impossible by the law, inasmuch as it was impotent through the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in that flesh:

⁷ Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be.

¹⁸ But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ namely, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing to them their offences: and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation.

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ, yet I live; though no more I, but Christ liveth in me: and my present life in the flesh, is a life by faith in the Son of God, who hath loved me, and delivered up himself for me.

¹ CHRIST then having suffered for us in the flesh, be ye also in mind armed for the same conflict: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sinning; ² that he might not spend the remaining space of life in the flesh after human passions, but the divine will.

¹³ and if the family shall be deserving, your peace shall come upon it: and if it be not deserving, your peace shall return to you.

⁹ and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. ¹⁰ And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of it, and say, ¹¹ Even the dust of your city, which sticks to us, we shake off against you: nevertheless this know, that the kingdom of God is come near to you.

⁵ and when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶ And coming home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Congratulate me; for I have found that sheep of mine which was lost.

²⁰ Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God exhorted you by us; we entreat you for Christ's sake, be ye reconciled to God.

¹³ but now in Christ Jesus, ye who formerly were far off, are become nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of separation,

¹⁹ Go therefore, make disciples among all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

²¹ Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour approaches, when ye shall worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem. ²² Ye worship ye know not what: we worship what we do know: for salvation cometh from the Jews. ²³ But the hour is coming, yea, is now come, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshippers of him.

⁷ Therefore Jesus said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep.

⁹ I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

² by whom also we have had an introduction through faith into this grace in which we have stood fast, and are rejoicing in hope of the glory of God.

¹⁵ For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye have received a Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.

²⁶ In like manner also the Spirit affords assistance to our infirmities: for even this, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not: but the same Spirit more abundantly maketh intercession for us with groanings unutterable. ²⁷ Now he that trieth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, for he maketh intercession for the saints according to God's will.

⁶ but to us there is one God, the Father; of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

¹³ For by one Spirit we all have been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free men; and we have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

⁶ But because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father!

¹² in whom we have boldness and access with confidence to God by the faith of him.

¹⁴ For this end I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁴ There is one body, and one spirit, even as ye have been called to one hope of your calling;

¹⁸ praying at every opportunity with all prayer and supplication in Spirit, and watching for this very purpose with perseverance and intercession for all the saints;

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

¹⁵ For we have not an high-priest incapable of a fellow-feeling with our infirmities, but one tempted in all points, in exact resemblance with ourselves, sin excepted. ¹⁶ Let us therefore approach with boldness the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for seasonable help.

¹⁹ For the law led to no perfection, but was an introduction to a better hope, by which we draw nigh unto God.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, entire liberty of entrance into the holies by the blood of Jesus— ²⁰ a way, which he hath consecrated for us, newly opened, and giving life, through the vail, that is, his flesh;

⁹ With it we bless God even the Farther; and with the same we curse men, though after the likeness of God.

¹⁷ And if ye invoke him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, conduct yourselves during the time of your sojourning with [jealous] fear:

¹ MY dear children, these things I write to you, that ye should not sin. And if any of us sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: ² and he himself is the propitiatory victim for our sins: and indeed not for ours only, but for the whole world.

²⁰ But ye, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying by the Holy Ghost,

²⁵ It is sufficient if the disciple be as his teacher, and the servant as his master. If they have called the master of the family Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?

²⁶ For ye are all the sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁷ For as many of you as have been baptised into Christ, have been invested with Christ. ²⁸ There is no more Jew or Gentile, there is no more slave or freeman, there is no more male or female: but ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁶ But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. ²⁷ For it is written, "Rejoice, thou barren who bearest not, cry out and shout for joy, thou that travailest not, for more are the children of her that was desolate, than of her which had an husband." ²⁸ So we, brethren, as Isaac, are the children of the promise. ²⁹ But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so is it now. ³⁰ But what saith the scripture? "Cast out the bond-woman and her son for the son of the bond-maid shall in no wise inherit with the son of the free woman." ³¹ So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

¹⁰ Well then, whilst we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men, but especially unto those who are of the household of faith.

⁶ that the Gentiles should be co-heirs, and of the same body, and sharers with them of his promise in Christ by the Gospel:

²⁰ But our conversation is in heaven as its citizens, from whence also we are expecting the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them at a great distance, though believing and embracing them, and confessing that they were strangers and sojourners in the land.

²² but ye are come unto mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, ²³ and to the general assembly and church of the first-born registered in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men perfected, ²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaketh better things than that of Abel.

¹ BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God! therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

¹² and she had a great wall and lofty, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. ¹³ From the east three gates; from the north three gates; from the south three gates; from the west three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he that talked with me held a golden cane to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. ¹⁶ And the city is a quadrangle, and the breadth of it is just as much as the length of it; and he measured the city with the cane, twelve thousand furlongs: the breadth, and the length, and the height of it, are exactly proportioned. ¹⁷ He measured also the wall of it a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, for such is that of an angel. ¹⁸ The structure of the wall of it was jasper, and the city pure gold, like clear glass. ¹⁹ And the foundations of the walls of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald; ²⁰ the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a sardius; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprasus; the eleventh a jacinth; the twelfth an amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve several pearls; every one of the gates was of one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass. ²² And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, even the Lamb. ²³ And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine upon it: for the glory of God illuminates it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof. ²⁴ And the nations of those that are saved shall walk about in the light thereof; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and their honour into it; ²⁵ and her gates shall be never shut by day (for there is no night there); ²⁶ and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it.

¹⁸ And I tell thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

⁴² Jesus saith unto them, Have ye not read in the Scriptures, "The stone, which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner; this is done by the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes."

¹⁰ Have ye never read this scripture? "The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: ¹¹ this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes."

¹⁷ Then he looked on them, and said, What is this then which is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? ¹⁸ Every one who falleth upon this stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

¹¹ This is the stone which, though set at nought by you builders, is become the head of the corner. ¹² And there is no salvation in any other person: for there is no other name under heaven given unto men, whereby we must be saved.

⁹ For we are God's fellowlabourers: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God given unto me, as a skilful architect, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every one take heed how he buildeth upon it. ¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus the Messiah.

²⁸ And these also hath God placed in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, directors, different kinds of tongues.

⁹ And when they knew the grace which was bestowed on me, James and Cephas and John, who appeared to be the pillars [of the church], gave unto me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision:

¹¹ And he himself appointed, some indeed apostles, and some prophets; and others preachers of the Gospel; and others pastors and teachers; ¹² for the perfecting the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of Christ: ¹³ until we all attain in the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a state of complete manhood, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

⁴ Whom approaching, as the living stone, rejected indeed of men, but elect of God, and honourable, ⁵ ye also, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, well pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

⁷ By you therefore who believe is he honoured: but respecting the disobedient, "the stone which the builders rejected, this very stone is become the head of the corner, ⁸ and a stone of stumbling, and rock of offence," to those who stumble at the word, disobedient; whereunto also they were appointed.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ¹⁷ If any man prophane the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

¹⁶ or what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, "I will inhabit in them, and walk about in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be for me a people."

¹³ until we all attain in the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a state of complete manhood, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: ¹⁴ that we should be no longer infants, floating on the waves, and carried about with every wind of novel doctrine, by the juggling of men, by their craftiness after the delusive wiles of error; ¹⁵ but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ: ¹⁶ From whom the whole body nicely joined together, and firmly connected by every joint of exact proportion, according to the energy exerted in the measure of every several part, causeth the increase of the body unto the edification of itself in love.

³ For this personage hath been counted worthy of higher glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built it, hath greater honour than the house. ⁴ For every house is built by some person; but he who is the architect of all things is God.

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; because he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans: I am coming to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. ²⁰ In that day ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in me, and I in you. ²¹ He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he is the person who loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Then Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not unto the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any man love me, he will observe my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.

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.

⁹ But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his. ¹⁰ But if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead on account of sin; but the Spirit is alive through righteousness. ¹¹ But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you.

¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

¹⁹ Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that rooted and grounded in love,

²⁴ And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him; and by this we know that he abideth in us, from the Spirit which he hath given us.

¹³ By this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his own Spirit.

¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love which God hath towards us. God is love; and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him.
