⁴ among whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dart its bright beams upon them.

⁷ by the word of truth, by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left,

⁴ for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the casting down the strong holds [of corruption];

³ But I fear lest as the serpent beguiled Eve by his craftiness, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity which belongs to 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;

⁹ whose appearing is known by fanatical energy, displayed in all power, and signs, and lying miracles, ¹⁰ and in every unrighteous delusion among those who perish: in consequence of which things they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this cause God shall send unto them the energy of delusion, that they should believe a lie:

²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, prowleth around, seeking whom he may devour:

¹ BUT there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers also among you, who wickedly introduce damnable heresies, and deny the sovereign Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction. ² And many will go out of the way after their fatal errors; by means of whom the way of truth will be injuriously reviled. ³ And with plausible speeches will they avariciously make gain of you whose condemnation from of old lingereth not, and their perdition doth not slumber.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the Devil, and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹¹ And I saw another beast rising up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, though he spake as the dragon. ¹² And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth, and those who inhabit therein, to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed. ¹³ And he performeth great signs, so that he even causeth fire to come down from heaven to the earth, in the sight of men, ¹⁴ and deceiveth the inhabitants of the earth by the signs, which he is enabled to perform before the beast, saying to the dwellers upon the earth, that they should make an image for the beast who had the stroke of the sword, and survived. ¹⁵ And he is enabled to impart life to the image of the beast that even the image of the beast should speak, and cause as many as will not worship the image of the beast to be put to death.

²⁰ And the beast was seized upon, and with him the false prophet who performed the wonders before him, by which he deceived those who received the brand of the beast, and those who worshipped his image. They were both hurled alive into the lake of fire which burneth with brimstone.

² and he seized on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, ³ and cast him into the abyss, and shut him up, and put a seal upon it, that he might deceive the nations no more until the thousand years are completed: and after that he must be loosed a short time.

⁷ And when the thousand years shall be completed, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison; ⁸ and he shall go forth to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

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.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the ruler of this world be ejected out [of it].

¹¹ and of judgment, because the ruler of this world hath sentence pronounced on him.

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.

³⁸ For I am assured that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor those to come,

²⁵ And every one who contendeth [in the games] is temperate in all things: they indeed therefore do it that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. ²⁶ I therefore so run not as uncertainly; so do I exercise with my fists, not as striking the air: ²⁷ but I beat down my body, and bring it into subjection, that I may not by any means, after having preached to others, myself become reprobate.

⁵⁰ But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God: neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach the glad tidings of him to the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

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;

²¹ far above all principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come;

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:

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

¹³ who hath plucked us out from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

¹⁵ spoiling principalities and powers, he exposed them to view openly, triumphing over them on it.

⁵ And if a man contend in the public games, he is not crowned victor, unless he contend according to the laws.

¹ THEREFORE also seeing we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and that most easily besetting sin, let us run with patience the race lying before us,

⁴ As yet ye have not resisted unto blood, struggling against sin.

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

¹³ And they on the rock, are such as when they have heard, with joy embrace the word; and these have not root, who for a time believe, and in a season of trial apostasize.

³⁶ Watch therefore, praying at every proper opportunity, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are ready to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things, the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹¹ Be clothed in the panoply of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For our conflict is not merely against flesh and blood, but against principalities, and against powers, and against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against wicked spirits in the aerial regions. ¹³ Therefore take the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all things to stand. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, girded about your loins with truth, and putting on the breastplate of righteousness; ¹⁵ and underneath your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ and over all lifting up the shield of faith, with which ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

¹⁰ Because thou hast keep the word of my patience, I also will preserve thee from the hour of temptation, which is coming upon the whole habitable globe to try the dwellers upon earth.

¹⁷ for the great day of his wrath is come, and who is able to stand?

³⁵ Let your loins be firmly girded round, and your lamps burning:

⁹ (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

¹³ Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, vigilant, wait with assured hope for the grace, which shall be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

⁹ And they had breastplates, as breastplates of iron: and the sound of their wings was as the rumbling of chariots of many horses rushing to battle.

¹⁷ And in this manner saw I the horses in the vision, and those who were mounted upon them, having breastplates of the colour of fire, and jacinth, and sulphur; and the horses' heads were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone.

²² But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and clothe him; and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet:

¹⁵ and how shall they preach unless they are sent? as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those who preach the glad tidings of good things!"

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 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.

²⁴ not that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow-helpers of your joy; for by faith ye stand.

¹⁶ Therefore we never faint; for though our outward man decay, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our momentary light affliction worketh for us a transcendently far more exceeding eternal weight of glory; ¹⁸ whilst we direct our aim not to the things which are seen, but to the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things that are not seen are eternal.

¹⁹ Quench not the Spirit.

¹⁷ And thus God, designing more abundantly to demonstrate to the heirs of promise the immutability of his will, pledged himself by oath, 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;

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he became a grown man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer afflictions with the people of God, than to have a temporary fruition of sin; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ riches greater than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked earnestly to the recompence of reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not intimidated by the wrath of the king: for he boldly persisted, as seeing the invisible [Jehovah]. ²⁸ By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea, as on dry ground; which the Egyptians attempting to do were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after being circled round seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with those who were infidels, having received the spies in peace. ³² And what more shall I say: for the time would fail me if I should make a narration concerning Gideon, and Barac, and Sampson, and Jephtha, and David, and Samuel, and the prophets: ³³ who by faith vanquished kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 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.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, prowleth around, seeking whom he may devour: ⁹ against whom stand fast, firm in the faith, knowing that the very same sufferings are fully endured by the brotherhood which is in the world.

⁴ Because every one that is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, except he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁴ But he answering said, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

⁷ Jesus said unto him, It is written again, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus unto him, Avaunt Satan! for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him only thou pay divine adoration." ¹¹ Then the devil leaveth him, and lo! angels came and ministered unto him. ¹² For the word of God is quickening, and energetic, and sharper than every two-edged sword, and piercing through and through, so as to divide both soul and spirit, both joints and spinal marrow, and critically judges the thoughts and intents of the heart.

⁵ And have you forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you, as children, "My son, count not lightly of the Lord's childlike correction, nor faint when under his rebuke: ⁶ for whom the Lord loveth he correcteth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth."

⁵ Let the tenor of your life be divested of the love of money; content with your present possessions: for he hath said, "I will in no wise leave thee, neither will I in any case forsake thee." ⁶ So that we may with confidence say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

¹⁶ And he held in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as when the sun shineth in his meridian lustre.

¹⁶ Repent! but if not, I am coming to thee quickly, and will war against them with the sword of my mouth.

¹¹ And they have vanquished him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.

¹⁵ And out of his mouth proceeded a sharp sword, that therewith he may smite the heathen and he will rule them with an iron sceptre: and he will tread the wine-press of the fury and of the wrath of God Almighty.

²⁵ Then she came, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me! ²⁶ But he answering said, It is not proper to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs. ²⁷ And she said, True, Lord: yet even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table. ²⁸ Then Jesus answering said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith! be it unto thee even as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.

³³ Take ye heed, watch, and pray; for ye know not when the time is.

³⁸ Watch ye and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

²⁶ of Maath, of Mattathias, of Semei, of Joseph, of Juda,

³⁷ of Methusaleh, of Enoch, of Jared, of Maleleel, of Cainan,

⁵ And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and he shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; ⁶ for a friend of mine is come to me off a journey, and I have nothing to set before him. ⁷ And he from within answering, shall say, Give me no farther trouble: my door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed; I am unable to rise and give thee. ⁸ I tell you, though even he would not rise and give him because he is his friend; yet because of his importunity, roused up, he will give him as many as he needeth.

¹ THEN he spake also to them a parable, to shew that we ought to pray always, and not faint; ² saying, There was a certain judge in a particular city, having no fear of God, nor respect for man: ³ and there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Do me justice against my adversary. ⁴ And he would not for a long while: but after this he said, Though I fear not God, nor respect man; ⁵ yet because this woman is so troublesome to me, I will do her justice, lest by her perpetual coming she stun me with her importunity, ⁶ Then said the Lord, Hear what the unjust judge saith. ⁷ And shall not God execute vengeance for his own elect, who cry out to him day and night, though he bear long with them? ⁸ Yes, I tell you, that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, ah! shall he find faith on the earth?

⁴⁶ And he said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise up, and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

¹⁴ These all persevered unanimously in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

⁴ But we will devote ourselves constantly to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

² a man of piety, and who feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.

⁵ So then Peter was kept in prison: but fervent prayer was offered up by the church to God for him.

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.

¹² rejoicing in hope; patient in affliction; persevering in prayer:

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

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

²² by whom also ye have been built up together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

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;

¹⁸ ye may be strengthened to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth and length, and height and depth;

¹⁹ and for me that there may be given unto me utterance to open my mouth with boldness, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

⁴ always in every prayer of mine for you all, making request with joy,

⁶ Be not anxious about any thing, but in every case by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known unto God.

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love ye show to all the saints;

² Persevere in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;

¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

¹ I EXHORT therefore, first of all, that there be offered supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings for the whole race of mankind:

³ I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that I keep up a constant remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

⁵ hearing of thy love and faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and unto all the saints;

⁷ who in the days of his flesh, with strong crying and tears, having offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard for his reverential awe,

⁷ But the end of all things is near: be ye therefore sober-minded, and vigilant in prayers.

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

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

¹³ Attentively regarding then the noble confidence of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were men unlettered, and destitute of education, they were astonished; and they recollected them, that they had been with Jesus.

²⁹ And as to the present transactions, Lord, look upon their threatnings: and grant thy servants power with all boldness to speak thy word,

³¹ And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

²⁷ Then Barnabas taking him by the hand, brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how boldly he had preached at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

²⁹ and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. And he talked and disputed with the Grecian proselytes: but they made an attempt to murder him.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with undaunted boldness, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken unto you: but since ye have thrust it from you, and judged yourselves not worthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to the Gentiles.

³ A long space therefore continued they there speaking boldly in the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, and granted signs and miracles to be wrought by their hands.

²⁶ So this man began to speak with great boldness in the synagogue: but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him home with them, and more accurately expounded to him the way of the Lord.

⁸ And entering into the synagogue, he spake boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading the things that concern the kingdom of God.

³¹ preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all freedom of discourse, and without the least interruption.

³⁰ Now I exhort you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you wrestle earnestly with me in prayers for me unto God;

⁵ that in every thing ye have been enriched by him, in all utterance, and all knowledge;

⁷ but we speak the wisdom of God, which had been hid in mystery, which God predestined before the worlds were, for our glory:

¹ LET a man so account of us, as the under servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

¹¹ ye also labouring together for us in prayer, that from many persons thanks may be given on our behalf for the gifts bestowed on us by many.

¹² Having therefore such a hope, we use much freedom of speech.

⁴ Great is my freedom of speech to you, great is my glorying over you: I am filled with consolation, I overflow with joy in all our tribulation.

⁷ So as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and elocution, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.

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

³ that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote unto you before briefly; ⁴ wherein when ye read, ye may be able to perceive my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,

¹⁹ For I know that this shall issue in my salvation through your prayers, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, ²⁰ according to my firm expectation and hope, that I shall be confounded by no event, but that with all boldness, as always hitherto, Christ shall now also be magnified in my body, whether by my life or death.

²⁶ the mystery which was hid from ages and from generations, but is now unveiled to his saints; 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:

² that their hearts may be comforted, firmly united together in love, and unto all riches of full assurance of understanding, in the knowledge of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

³ praying also at the same time for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, that I may speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains:

² But though we had suffered before, and were infamously treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to preach unto you the gospel of God amidst a great conflict.

²⁵ Brethren, pray for us.

¹ FINALLY, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run, and be glorified, even as among you;

¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified by the Spirit, seen of angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

²² But at the same time prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

¹⁸ Pray for us: for we have confidence that we maintain a good conscience, in all things desirous to conduct ourselves with propriety.—

²⁷ What I say unto you in the dark, publish in the light: and what ye hear whispered into the ear, proclaim upon the roofs. ²⁸ And be not afraid of those who kill the body, and cannot kill the soul: but fear him rather who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

²⁹ Then Peter and the apostles answering said, We must obey God rather than men.

³³ Then the tribune approaching him, laid hold on him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and asked who he was, and what he had done.

²⁹ And Paul replied, would to God, that not only thou, but also that all who are hearing me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these chains.

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.

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.

¹ FOR this cause [am] I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

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

⁷ as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I bear you on my heart, both in my bonds and in my defence and the confirmation of the gospel, as being all of you sharers in my grace.

¹³ so that my bonds are manifest in Christ through the whole palace, and all other places; ¹⁴ and very many of our brethren in the Lord, assuming confidence from my chains, are more abundantly bold, fearlessly to preach the word.

²⁰ according to my firm expectation and hope, that I shall be confounded by no event, but that with all boldness, as always hitherto, Christ shall now also be magnified in my body, whether by my life or death.

⁴ that I may make it evident, as I ought to speak.

¹⁶ The Lord grant mercy unto the household of Onesiphorus because he frequently was a refreshment to my soul, and was not ashamed of my chain:

⁹ for which I suffer affliction, even unto chains as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.

¹⁰ I entreat thee for my son, whom I have begotten during my bonds, Onesimus:

¹⁶ By this we have known the love [of Christ], because for us he laid down his own life: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

³ Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you concerning the common salvation, I held it necessary to write unto you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints.

⁴ And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asiatics.

¹⁷ For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my son beloved and faithful in Christ, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ Jesus, as I teach every where in every church.

¹² Now I wish you, brethren, to know, that the things which have befallen me have rather conduced to the progress of the gospel;

⁷ even as ye have learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-labourer, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you;

⁷ All my affairs will Tychicus make known unto you, a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord: ⁸ whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that he might know your affairs, and comfort your hearts; ⁹ with Onesimus, that faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you: they will make known unto you all things that have passed here.

⁶ If thou suggest these truths to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and sound doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

¹² But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

¹² When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, hasten to come to me unto Nicopolis: for there I have determined to pass the winter.

¹² By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I think, I have written to you a few words, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye are standing fast.

¹⁵ And account the long suffering of our Lord conducive to salvation; as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, hath written unto you;

¹⁹ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be refreshed in spirit, when I know your affairs.

²⁵ But I have thought it necessary to send unto you Epaphroditus, my brother, and fellow-labourer, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, and the minister who supplied my want.

⁷ All my affairs will Tychicus make known unto you, a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord: ⁸ whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that he might know your affairs, and comfort your hearts;

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:

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

²⁷ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I to you. Let not your heart be agitated, nor shrink back through fear.

⁷ To all that are at Rome, beloved of God, called saints, grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith exerting its energy by love.

¹⁶ And as many as shall walk after this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

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:

¹⁶ And the Lord of peace himself give you peace, by every means, in every situation. The Lord be with you all.

³ As I exhorted thee to abide at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin certain persons to introduce no different doctrine,

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

⁸ But if any man provide not for his own relations, and especially for those more immediately of his own family, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

⁵ hearing of thy love and faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and unto all the saints; ⁶ that there may be an operative communication of thy faith made known by every good thing, which is in you towards Jesus Christ. ⁷ For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.

¹⁴ Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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,

¹³ And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen!

³⁷ Then Jesus said to him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo! I am with you at all times even to the end of the world. Amen.

¹⁵ When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee! Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.

²² If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema, Maranatha. ²³ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

⁸ I speak not by commandment, but because of the forwardness of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love.

¹² For if there is first a ready mind, a man is acceptable according to what he hath, and not according to what he hath not.

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.

¹⁸ The salutation of Paul with mine own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.

²² The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

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

¹⁵ All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us with fidelity. Grace be with you all. Amen.

²⁵ Grace be with you all.—Amen.
