²³ For I am in a strait between the two, having an earnest longing to be dissolved, and to be with Christ, for this is far, far better:

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

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.

³ And no accursed thing is there any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb are in it, and his servants will pay divine worship to him. ⁴ And they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. ⁵ And there shall be no night there, and they have no need of a lamp, or the light of the sun; because the Lord God illumines them: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

²⁶ Ought not the Messiah to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?

¹¹ Concerning whom we have much to discourse, and of difficult interpretation to explain, seeing ye are dull of hearing. ¹² For though ye ought for the time to be teachers of others, ye have again need that some one teach you the leading principles of the oracles of God; and are become as those who need milk, and not solid food.

²¹ For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases.

²⁵ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself; ²⁷ and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation.

³³ For he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world, is the bread of God.

⁵¹ I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵⁷ As the life-giving Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same shall live by me.

² even as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that with regard to all those whom thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life: ³ and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah.

³⁷ Then said Pilate unto him. Art thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this end I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I should be a witness for the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth my voice.

¹⁵ but ye slew the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead: of which we are witnesses.

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.

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.

²¹ that as sin had reigned by death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto life eternal by Jesus Christ our Lord.

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."

¹⁶ that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ unto the Gentiles, ministering the Gospel of God; that the oblation of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

⁴⁵ And so it is written, There was a first man Adam a living soul; a last Adam a quickening spirit.

¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timotheus—was not yea and nay, but there was yea in him; ²⁰ for all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us.

¹⁸ for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

⁹ for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;

¹⁷ which are [merely] shadows of things to come: but the body is Christ's.

⁴ When Christ shall appear, who is our life, then shall you also with him be manifested in glory.

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.

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:

⁴ Whom approaching, as the living stone, rejected indeed of men, but elect of God, and honourable,

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:

¹ THAT which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life; ² (for the life was manifested, and we have beheld it, and bear testimony, and declare unto you that life eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

²³ Every one that denieth the Son, neither doth he hold the Father; but he that acknowledgeth the Son, holdeth the Father also.

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood: and the Spirit is the witnessing person, because the Spirit is the truth.

⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four living beings and the four and twenty presbyters prostrated themselves before the lamb, having each harps, and vases of gold, full of perfumes smoaking, which are the prayers of the saints. 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;

⁹ After these things I looked, and beheld a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation, and tribe, and people, and tongue, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands ¹⁰ and crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb. ¹¹ And all the angels stood in a circle about the throne, and the presbyters and the four living beings, and fell on their faces before the throne, and worshipped God, ¹² saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might be to our God for ever and ever. Amen. ¹³ And one of the presbyters addressed me, saying, Who are these persons who are clothed in white robes? and from whence came they? ¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are persons who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun scorch them, nor any burning heat. ¹⁷ Because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, as a shepherd, and lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

⁷ And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and authority was given to him over every tribe, and tongue, and nation. ⁸ And all the inhabitants who dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and lo a white horse; and he that sat upon it, is called Faithful and True, and with righteousness doth he judge and make war.

¹⁵ And if any one was not found inscribed on the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

¹ AND he shewed me a clear river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

¹⁷ And the spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him who is athirst come: and whosoever is desirous, let him take of the water of life freely.

²² All things are given up to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who is the Son, but the Father; and who is the Father, but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal him.

¹⁸ No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath thoroughly described him.

⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seen the Father, except he that is with God, he hath seen the Father.

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

⁹ Jesus saith to him, Am I all this while with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father? ¹⁰ Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? the words which I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father, who dwelleth in me, he performeth these works.

¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 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.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other ever did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

¹³ But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he will conduct you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever things he shall hear, he shall speak: and he will declare to you the things that shall come hereafter. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. ¹⁵ All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. ¹⁶ A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I am going to the Father.

³ and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah.

⁶ I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept.

⁸ For the declarations which thou gavest to me I have delivered to them; and they have received them, and have known assuredly that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou hast sent me.

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.

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.

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.

⁶ For the God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, he hath shined into our hearts, to give illumination of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ Who is the image of the invisible God, the prime author of all creation: ¹⁶ for by him were all things created, celestial and terrestrial, visible or invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers, all were created by him, and for him: ¹⁷ and he is before all, and by him all things subsist.

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 in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

³ who being the splendour of his glory, and the very impress of his substance, and upholding all things with his powerful word, by himself having effected the cleansing of our sins, he sat down at the right hand of Majesty on high;

¹³ I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

⁴³ The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ And Nathaniel said to him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.

⁵ Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do. ⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii spent in bread would not procure a sufficiency for them, that every one of them might have a morsel.

²¹ these then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus. ²² Philip comes and speaks to Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

²⁵ These things have I spoken to you in parables: but the hour is coming when I will no more speak to you in parables, but will plainly inform you respecting the Father.

⁵⁶ Ye hypocrites! ye know how to discern by experience from the appearance of the earth and of the sky; but how is it that ye do not discern this particular time?

³⁰ I and my Father are one.

⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

⁷ If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him.

²⁰ In that day ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

¹² But if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?

⁶ who being in the form of God counted it no usurpation to claim equality with God:

¹⁵ Who is the image of the invisible God, the prime author of all creation:

¹ IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made by him; and without him was not one thing made that was made.

³² And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; though no man receiveth his testimony. ³³ He that receiveth his testimony hath avouched that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him.

¹⁷ Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

¹⁹ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son.

³⁸ For I came down from heaven, not with a view to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. ³⁹ Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it up at the last day. 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.

¹⁶ Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

²⁸ Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. ²⁹ But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

²⁸ Then said Jesus to them, When ye shall have lifted up on high the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and of myself have I done nothing; but as the Father hath instructed me, so I speak.

³⁸ I speak what I have seen with my Father: and ye do therefore what ye have seen with your father.

⁴⁰ But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so.

³⁸ But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

²⁶ and every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. Believest thou this?

⁴⁹ Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Farther who has sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

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.

³⁸ respecting Jesus, who was of Nazareth, how God had anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were tyrannically oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

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.

¹⁹ For it hath pleased the Father that in him all fulness should dwell;

⁷ For they are three who bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these, even the three, are one.

⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, Go, and tell John what things ye hear and see. ⁵ The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

²¹ And in that very hour he cured many of diseases and acute complaints, and evil spirits; and to many blind persons he gave sight. ²² And Jesus addressing them, said, Go, tell John what things ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached unto them. ²³ And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended at me.

³⁶ But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

²⁵ Jesus answered them; I told you, and ye believed not: the works which I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness of me.

³² Jesus said unto them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which work of these are ye going to stone me?

³⁸ that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again; ⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."

¹⁰ Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? the words which I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father, who dwelleth in me, he performeth these works.

²² Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know:

⁴ God superadding his testimony with them, by signs, and wonders, and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

²¹ But Jesus addressing them, said, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith, and entertain no doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but if ye should even say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it be done.

¹³ and seeing a fig-tree at a distance, full of leaves, he went to it, expecting probably that he might find some fruit upon it: and when he came to it, he found none, only leaves: for it was not a [good] season for figs.

¹⁷ And these signs shall follow those that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

¹⁷ Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through thy name. ¹⁸ And he said unto them, I beheld Satan falling as lightning from heaven. ¹⁹ Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shalt in any wise hurt you.

³³ Then said Jesus unto them, A little while longer I am with you, and I am going to him that sent me.

³⁹ (Now he spake this in reference to the Spirit, which they who believe on him should afterwards receive: for as yet the Holy Ghost was not given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

⁷ Yet I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I went not away, the Comforter would not come to you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.

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. ⁵ Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, men of piety, from every nation under heaven. ⁶ And when this report spread, the multitude collected around them, and were overwhelmed with astonishment, because they heard them speaking every one in his own peculiar dialect. ⁷ And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying one to another, Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? ⁸ And how do we hear every man in our own peculiar dialect, in which from our birth we were brought up? ⁹ Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, ¹⁰ and Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia adjoining Cyrene, and the sojourners, who are Romans, both Jews and proselytes, ¹¹ Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own several tongues the marvellous things of God.

³³ He therefore being exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, hath poured out this, which ye now see and hear.

⁴¹ They therefore who gladly received his discourse were baptised: and there were added to them that day about three thousand souls.

⁶ Then said Peter, I have neither silver nor gold; but what I have, that I give thee: By the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, arise, and walk! ⁷ And taking him by the right hand, he raised him up: and immediately his feet and ancles were restored to strength. ⁸ And springing up he stood on his feet, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

⁴ But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

⁹ if we are this day examined relative to the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was restored; ¹⁰ be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence. 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.

¹⁶ saying, What shall we do with these men? for that an acknowledged miracle hath been wrought by them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

³³ And with great power bore the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

¹⁵ Insomuch that they carried out into the streets the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter was coming by, if but even his shadow might pass over some of them.

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

⁷ For the unclean spirits, roaring with great cries, came forth out of many who were possessed: and many who were paralytic and lame were healed.

³⁴ And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Messiah maketh thee whole: arise, and make thine own bed. And he arose immediately.

⁴⁰ But Peter putting them all out, fell upon his knees, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking in different languages, and magnifying God. Then Peter addressed them,

¹⁸ And this she did for several days. Then Paul was wearied out, and turning, said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour.

¹² so that even from his skin there were brought handkerchiefs and aprons unto the diseased, and their disorders were chased from them, and the evil spirits came out of them.

¹⁹ by the power of signs and miracles, by the might of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and in a circle quite round unto Illyricum, I have fully spread the gospel of Christ.

¹⁰ to another miraculous powers; to another prophecy; to another discernments of spirits; to another different kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ but all these things worketh that one and the same Spirit, distributing peculiar gifts to every one even as he wills.

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

²² And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

²⁴ Therefore I say unto you, That all things whatever ye ask in prayer, believe that ye shall receive them, and they shall be given you.

⁹ And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

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.

¹⁴ but whosoever shall drink of the water which I shall give him, he shall no more thirst to eternity; but the water which I will give him, shall be in him a fountain of water springing up to life eternal.

³⁷ Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and spake aloud, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

³¹ When therefore he was gone, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me.

¹⁴ If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done for you.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you that ye should go forth and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be permanent: that so whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he may give it you.

²³ And in that hour ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I do not say to you, I will entreat the Father for you:

⁴ I have glorified thee upon earth: I have completed the work which thou gavest me to perform. ⁵ And now, Father, do thou glorify me with thyself in the glory which I held with thee before the world was.

⁸ For this thrice I besought the Lord, that he might depart from me.

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,

²⁰ Now to him that is able to do above all things, exceeding abundantly, beyond what we ask or think, according to the power which effectually worketh in us; ²¹ to him be glory in the church, in Christ Jesus, unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

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

¹³ I am enabled for all things by Christ who strengtheneth me.

¹⁷ And everything that ye do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

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.

¹⁵ By him therefore let us offer a sacrifice of praise perpetually to God, that is the fruit of our lips confessing his name.

⁵ But if any man of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him.

¹⁶ Confess your offences one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The energetic prayer of a righteous man is mightily prevalent.

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.

²² And whatsoever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are pleasing in his sight.

¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have towards him, that whatsoever we ask according to his will, he heareth us.

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.

³⁴ Then shall the King say to those on his right-hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; ³⁵ for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and ye received me hospitably: ³⁶ naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye took care of me: I was in prison, and ye came to me. ³⁷ Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? ³⁸ When indeed saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? ³⁹ When indeed saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? ⁴⁰ And the king answering shall say to them, Verily I tell you, for as much as ye have done it to one of these my brethren, the very least of them, ye have done it unto me.

⁴² Then said Jesus unto them, If God was your Father, ye would have loved me: for I came out from God, and I am coming; neither indeed came I of myself, but he hath sent me.

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. ²⁴ He that loveth me not, doth not observe my sayings: and the word which ye are hearing is not mine, but of him that sent me.

¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and as I abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may abide in you, and your joy may be full. ¹² This is my commandment, That ye love one another, just as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever things I command you.

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.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we judge thus, that if one died for all, then were all dead: ¹⁵ and he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him that died for them, and rose again.

⁸ I speak not by commandment, but because of the forwardness of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sake he became poor though he was rich, that ye by his poverty should be made rich.

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

¹⁶ that he would give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man; ¹⁷ that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ ye may be strengthened to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth and length, and height and depth;

²⁴ Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.

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. ²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ²² But if it be his will, that I should live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my travail: and what to chuse I know not. ²³ For I am in a strait between the two, having an earnest longing to be dissolved, and to be with Christ, for this is far, far better:

⁷ But what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ. ⁸ Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the transcendently excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as offals of ordure, that I may gain Christ, ⁹ and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is by the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: ¹⁰ that I may know him, and the virtue of his resurrection, and communion with his sufferings, being conformed to his death; ¹¹ if haply I may attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

⁸ whom though ye have not seen, ye love; on whom, though ye have not as yet gazed, yet believing, ye exult with joy unutterable and glorious:

³ And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and in him the truth is not. ⁵ But whosoever keepeth his word, verily in him is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.

¹⁹ We love him, because he first loved us. ²⁰ If any person say, I love God, yet hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love the God whom he hath not seen?

² Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. ³ For this is the love of God, that we should keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome.

⁶ And this is love, that we should walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, That ye should walk in it.

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.

¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans: I am coming to you.

²⁶ But the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, which I have spoken to you.

²⁶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

⁷ Yet I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I went not away, the Comforter would not come to you; but if I go, I will send him unto you. ⁸ And when he cometh, he will convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment: ⁹ of sin first, because they believe not in me; ¹⁰ then of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, so ye see me no more; ¹¹ and of judgment, because the ruler of this world hath sentence pronounced on him. ¹² I have many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them just now. ¹³ But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he will conduct you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever things he shall hear, he shall speak: and he will declare to you the things that shall come hereafter. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. ¹⁵ All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

²² And ye therefore have indeed at present sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall be made glad, and your joy no man taketh from you.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I do not say to you, I will entreat the Father for you: ²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

⁹ I entreat for them: I make no request for the world; but for those thou hast given me; for they are thine. ¹⁰ And all mine are thine, and thine mine; and I have been glorified in them. ¹¹ And now no longer am I in this world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve them for thy name's sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

¹⁵ I entreat not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest preserve them from the wicked one.

²⁰ And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;

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.

⁵² And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

⁵ and hope doth not make us ashamed; because the love of God is poured out into our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.

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. ¹⁶ The same spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

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.

³⁴ Who is he that condemneth? Christ? He died, yea, rather, also is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

¹³ Now the God of hope fill you with all joy, and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Ghost.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,

¹³ In whom ye also [trusted] after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the holy Spirit of promise, ¹⁴ which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the final redemption, acquired by him, come, to the praise of his glory.

¹ IF there be then any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any communion of spirit, if any bowels and compassions,

³ For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ shall appear, who is our life, then shall you also with him be manifested in glory.

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 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:

²⁰ for it is not you who are speaking, but the Spirit of your Father which is speaking in you.

¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

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.

¹³ But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he will conduct you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever things he shall hear, he shall speak: and he will declare to you the things that shall come hereafter.

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.

¹³ For if ye live after the flesh, ye are ready to die: but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. ¹⁴ For as many as are guided by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

¹⁴ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are folly to him: and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

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?

¹⁵ What then is my object? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms with the understanding also.

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."

⁵ Examine yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your ownselves: know ye not your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobate?

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

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

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

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:

¹⁴ The glorious deposit committed to thy trust, guard by the Holy Ghost who dwelleth in us.

²⁷ But the unction which ye have received from him abideth in you; and ye need not that any person should instruct you. But as the same unction teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie; and as it hath taught you, abide in him.

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.

⁴ Ye are of God, my dear children, and have overcome them; because he that is in you is greater than he that is in the world.

⁶ We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of delusion.

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.

¹⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white pebble, and upon the pebble a new name inscribed, which no man knoweth except the person who receiveth it.

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

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.

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.

² grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all consolation; ⁴ who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we might be able to comfort those who are in all tribulation, by the consolation with which we ourselves are comforted of God. ⁵ Because as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so through Christ aboundeth also our consolation. ⁶ But whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectually wrought by patient endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer; or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

¹⁸ for inasmuch as he hath himself suffered, having been tempted, he is able to succour those who are tempted.

⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the life-giving Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as the manna your fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live to eternity.

²¹ Then spake Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I am going ye cannot come.

²⁵ Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

³⁵ Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you: he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not even whither he is going.

¹⁶ A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I am going to the Father.

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.

²⁰ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

¹⁰ always bearing about in the body the death pangs of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. ¹¹ For we who are yet alive are continually delivered up to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. ¹² Wherefore death indeed is working in us, but life in you.

¹ THAT which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life; ² (for the life was manifested, and we have beheld it, and bear testimony, and declare unto you that life eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;) ³ that which we have seen and heard, declare we to you, that ye also may have communion with us: and indeed our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.

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. ⁶ If any man abide not in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done for you.

⁷ Now have they known, that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee.

¹¹ And now no longer am I in this world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve them for thy name's sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

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

⁷ Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and fellow-prisoners, who are eminent among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

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

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.

² I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body I know not, or whether out of the body I know not: God knoweth;) such a one was caught up unto the third heavens.

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.

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.

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.

²⁸ But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and observe it.

¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments.

⁹ Just as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love. ¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and as I abide in his love.

¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever things I command you.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

⁹ Then spake the Lord in a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak; and hold not thy peace: ¹⁰ for I am with thee, and no man shall set himself against thee to do thee harm; because I have much people in this city. ¹¹ And he sat down there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.

¹⁸ and beheld him saying to me, Make haste, and depart quickly from Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony of me.

¹⁸ And we all with face unveiled, beholding the glory of the Lord [reflected] as in a mirror, according to the same image, receive a transformation from glory into glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.

⁸ For this thrice I besought the Lord, that he might depart from me.

¹⁷ but the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully discharged, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was snatched out of the lion's mouth. ¹⁸ And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and preserve me for his celestial kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

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

²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness;" and he was called "the friend of God." ²⁴ Observe therefore that by works a man is justified, and not by faith merely.

⁵ But whosoever keepeth his word, verily in him is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.

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.

¹⁸ My dear children, let us not love in word and in tongue, but in deed and in truth; ¹⁹ and hereby we know that we are of the truth, and in his presence have this persuasion in our hearts. ²⁰ For should our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence towards God. ²² And whatsoever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are pleasing in his sight. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 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.

³ For this is the love of God, that we should keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome.

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.

¹⁴ Blessed are they who keep his commandments, that they may have authority to approach unto the tree of life, and that they may enter in by the gates into the city.

³ Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname is Thaddeus;

¹⁸ and Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

¹⁶ Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor.

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?

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

¹¹ The woman saith unto him, Thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep: whence then canst thou have this water that giveth life?

⁵² Then the Jews contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, who heard him, said, Difficult is this discourse, who is able to fathom it?

¹⁷ Then said some of the disciples unto each other, What is this which he saith to us, A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and this, because I am going to the Father? ¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he saith, This little while? we know not what he means.

¹³ And when they had arrived, they went up to an upper room, where abode Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealous, and Jude brother to James.

⁴⁰ him God raised up the third day, and ordained that he should be visibly manifested; ⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he was arisen from the dead.

¹ JUDE a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are sanctified in God the Father, and preserved by Jesus Christ, the called:

¹⁷ Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. ¹⁸ Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with God. ¹⁹ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son.

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.

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.

²⁴ Let that abide in you therefore which ye have heard from the beginning. If that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.

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.

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.

²² And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, even the Lamb.

³ And no accursed thing is there any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb are in it, and his servants will pay divine worship to him.

²¹ Jesus said to him, If thou art desirous to be perfect, go, sell all thy substance, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: ⁴² for I was hungry, and ye gave me nothing to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me nothing to drink: ⁴³ I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye did not clothe me: sick, and in prison, and ye took no care of me. ⁴⁴ Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? ⁴⁵ Then shall he reply to them, saying, For as much as ye have not done it to one of the least of these, neither have ye done it to me. ⁴⁶ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him.

³⁸ And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

²⁸ Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

²⁶ I have many things to speak and to decide concerning you: but he that sent me is true; and the things which I have heard from him I speak to the world.

⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. ⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness. ⁴⁷ And if any man, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He that sets me at nought, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day. ⁴⁹ Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Farther who has sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is life eternal: therefore the things which I speak to you, just as the Father spake to me, so speak I.

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. ¹⁷ But whosoever hath worldly abundance, and seeth his brother under necessity, and shutteth his bowels of compassion against him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My dear children, let us not love in word and in tongue, but in deed and in truth; ¹⁹ and hereby we know that we are of the truth, and in his presence have this persuasion in our hearts. ²⁰ For should our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

²⁹ And now I have informed you before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe.

¹¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may abide in you, and your joy may be full.

¹ THESE things have I spoken, that ye might not be stumbled. ² They will put you out of their synagogues: yea, the hour is coming, that every one who killeth you will think he offers God a sacred service. ³ And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. ⁴ But these things have I spoken to you, that when the hour is come, ye may remember the same for I had told you. But these things I told you not at the beginning, because I was with you.

¹² I have many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them just now.

⁶ I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept. ⁷ Now have they known, that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee. ⁸ For the declarations which thou gavest to me I have delivered to them; and they have received them, and have known assuredly that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou hast sent me.

¹⁸ Now the generation of Jesus Christ was attended with these circumstances: His mother Mary being betrothed to Joseph, before they cohabited together, she was found with child from the Holy Spirit.

²⁰ And as he was revolving the matter in his mind, behold, an angel of the Lord in a dream appeared unto him, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary for thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

¹¹ I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:

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:

³⁶ for David himself saith by the Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy enemies the foot-stool for thy feet.

¹¹ But when delivering you up, they shall bring you to the bar, be not previously anxious what ye shall say, neither premeditate: for it shall be given to you at that very hour, what ye shall speak: for it is not you, who are speaking, but the Holy Ghost.

¹⁵ for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord; and he shall never drink wine, nor any intoxicating liquor; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.

³⁵ And the angel answering said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; wherefore also the Holy One that shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God.

⁴¹ And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped for joy in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

⁶⁷ And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,

²⁵ And, behold, there was a man at Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

²² and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, like a dove, upon him, and a voice came from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

¹³ If ye then, evil as ye are, know how to give good gifts to your children; how much more shall your Father, who is in heaven, give his Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

⁴⁹ And, behold, I send unto you the promise of my Father: but sit ye down in the city of Jerusalem, until ye shall be endued with power from on high.

²² When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had spoken thus unto them; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And "they shall all be taught of God." Every one therefore who heareth from the Father, and learneth, cometh to me.

¹⁶ These things indeed knew not his disciples at first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

¹³ But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he will conduct you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever things he shall hear, he shall speak: and he will declare to you the things that shall come hereafter. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

²² And so speaking, he breathed on them, and said, Receive the Holy Ghost:

² until that day, when having given a charge to his apostles through the Holy Ghost, whom he had chosen, he was taken up:

⁴ and assembling them together, commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye have heard from me.

⁸ But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses for me, both in Jerusalem, and throughout all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the extremity of the earth.

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.

³ But Peter said, O Ananias! why hath Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and secrete something from the price of the estate?

⁵¹ Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears, ye do always oppose yourselves against the Holy Ghost: as your fathers, so are ye.

⁵⁵ But he being full of the Holy Ghost, and looking up stedfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God;

¹⁶ Then I recollected the word of the Lord, how he had said, John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost.

² And as they were employed in the ministry, and kept a fast, the Holy Ghost said, Set apart for me now both Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

⁴ They then being sent forth indeed by the Holy Ghost, went down to Seleucia; and from thence sailed to Cyprus.

⁸ And God, who is the discerner of the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as to us;

²⁸ For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay upon you no other burden except these things which are of absolute necessity;

⁶ So passing through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia,

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.

³⁵ In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."

²⁵ So being divided in sentiment among themselves, they broke up, Paul adding one word, That well had the Holy Ghost spoken by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,

¹⁰ But to us hath God revealed them by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth out all things, even the depths of God. ¹¹ For who among men knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? so also the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. ¹³ Which things also we speak, not in discourses framed by human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit of God; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

³ Wherefore I advertise you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, call Jesus anathema: and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.

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

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.

¹³ In whom ye also [trusted] after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation by the knowledge of him;

³⁰ And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye have been sealed unto the day of redemption.

⁵ For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in great fulness of assurance; as ye know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes. ⁶ And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost;

⁸ Therefore he that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his Holy Spirit.

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;

⁷ Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

¹⁵ Now the Holy Ghost also beareth this testimony to us: for after declaring before,

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.

²¹ For prophecy in old time came not by the will of man: but the holy men of God spake under the impulse of the Holy Ghost.

²⁰ though ye have an unction from the Holy One, and know all things.

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

¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. He that overcometh shall receive no injury from the second death.

²⁶ However, fear them not: for there is nothing concealed, which shall not be discovered; nor hid, which shall not be known.

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.

⁵ And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

⁴ But I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of those who may kill the body, but after that, have nothing farther which they can do.

¹ LET not your hearts be troubled: trust in God, and trust in me.

¹⁹ When the evening therefore was come, on the same first day of the week, and the doors being fastened where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said unto them, Peace be to you.

²¹ Jesus therefore spake to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

²⁶ And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them: Jesus cometh, though the doors were fastened, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

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

⁹ Then spake the Lord in a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak; and hold not thy peace:

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.

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

⁶ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

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

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.

³ grace unto you, and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ;

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

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:

⁷ And the peace of God which surpasseth all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

² to the saints at Colosse, and to the faithful brethren in Christ: grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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.

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

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

⁷ For God hath not given us a spirit of fear; but of courage, and of love, and of sobriety.

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,

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,

¹⁰ Fear nothing from the things which thou shalt suffer: lo! the devil will cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have a ten day's tribulation: be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

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

¹⁸ "Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth: I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim judgment for the heathen.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, as he pronounced the benediction upon them, he was parted from them, and taken up into heaven. ⁵² And they, after paying him their adorations, returned to Jerusalem with vast joy: ⁵³ and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

¹⁸ Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with God.

²⁹ My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all and no one shall pluck them out of my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and my Father are one.

¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his master; nor the messenger greater than him that sent him.

² In my Father's house are many mansions: and if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 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. ⁴ And whither I am going ye know, and the way ye know.

¹² Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works which I do shall he do also; yea, and greater than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.

¹⁶ A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I am going to the Father. ¹⁷ Then said some of the disciples unto each other, What is this which he saith to us, A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and this, because I am going to the Father? ¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he saith, This little while? we know not what he means. ¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Are ye questioning among yourselves concerning this declaration, which I spake, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me? ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be very sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when the little son is born, she no more remembers the anguish, for joy that a man is brought into the world. ²² And ye therefore have indeed at present sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall be made glad, and your joy no man taketh from you.

¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I am ascending to my Father, and your Father; to my God, and your God.

³ But I desire you to take notice that the head of every man is Christ; but the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

²⁴ Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he shall have destroyed every dominion and every authority and power. ²⁵ For he must reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy shall be destroyed, death. ²⁷ For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, that all things are put under him, it is evident that there is an exception of him, who subjected all things to him. ²⁸ But when he shall have put all things under him, then also the Son himself shall be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

⁶ who being in the form of God counted it no usurpation to claim equality with God: ⁷ but emptied himself, assuming the form of a servant, made after the similitude of mortal men; ⁸ and found in fashion as man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even to the death of the cross.

² in these last days hath spoken to us by a Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; ³ who being the splendour of his glory, and the very impress of his substance, and upholding all things with his powerful word, by himself having effected the cleansing of our sins, he sat down at the right hand of Majesty on high;

⁹ But we see Jesus for a little while made lower than angels, by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that, by the grace of God, he might taste of death for every one. ¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to perfect the Author of their salvation by sufferings. ¹¹ For both he that sanctifies, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying, "I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church I will sing hymns to thee." ¹³ And again, "I will place my confidence in him." And again, "Behold! Here am I, and the children which God hath given me." ¹⁴ Seeing therefore that the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself, in exact resemblance, partook of the same, that by death he might destroy him who held the power of death, that is, the devil; ¹⁵ and deliver those, even as many as through their whole life were subjects of bondage to the fear of death.

¹ WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, contemplate the apostle and high-priest whom ye confess, Jesus Christ; ² who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was in all his house. 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.

¹¹ saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last; and what thou seest write in a book, and send to the churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹⁷ And when I beheld him, I fell at his feet as dead: and he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ and I am the living one, though I was dead and lo! I am alive for evermore, Amen; and I hold the keys of hell and of death.

²⁴ for false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and give out great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect. ²⁵ Behold, I have forewarned you.

⁴ But these things have I spoken to you, that when the hour is come, ye may remember the same for I had told you. But these things I told you not at the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ But now I am going away to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither art thou going? ⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart. ⁷ Yet I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I went not away, the Comforter would not come to you; but if I go, I will send him unto you. ⁸ And when he cometh, he will convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment: ⁹ of sin first, because they believe not in me; ¹⁰ then of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, so ye see me no more; ¹¹ and of judgment, because the ruler of this world hath sentence pronounced on him. ¹² I have many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them just now. ¹³ But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he will conduct you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever things he shall hear, he shall speak: and he will declare to you the things that shall come hereafter. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. ¹⁵ All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. ¹⁶ A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I am going to the Father. ¹⁷ Then said some of the disciples unto each other, What is this which he saith to us, A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and this, because I am going to the Father? ¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he saith, This little while? we know not what he means. ¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Are ye questioning among yourselves concerning this declaration, which I spake, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me? ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be very sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when the little son is born, she no more remembers the anguish, for joy that a man is brought into the world. ²² And ye therefore have indeed at present sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall be made glad, and your joy no man taketh from you. ²³ And in that hour ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you. ²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be complete. ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you in parables: but the hour is coming when I will no more speak to you in parables, but will plainly inform you respecting the Father. ²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I do not say to you, I will entreat the Father for you: ²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. ²⁸ I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I am leaving the world, and going to the Father. ²⁹ His disciples said unto him, Lo! now thou speakest plainly, and speakest in no-wise proverbial. ³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any person should ask thee: by this we believe that thou hast come forth from God. ³¹ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

⁵³ When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched out no hands upon me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

⁴⁴ And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then opened he thoroughly their understanding, that they should understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶ and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day ⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in his name unto all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are the witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And, behold, I send unto you the promise of my Father: but sit ye down in the city of Jerusalem, until ye shall be endued with power from on high.

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. ¹² I have many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them just now.

³ to whom also he had shewed himself alive, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, during forty days being frequently seen by them, and speaking of the things which relate to the kingdom of God:

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.

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.

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:

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

²⁶ For such an high-priest was suitable to us, holy, inoffensive, spotless, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

¹⁹ but by the precious blood of Christ, as the unblemished and spotless lamb:

²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

⁵ And ye know that he was manifested, that he might take away our sins; and in him there is no sin. ⁶ Every one who abideth in him, doth not sin; every one who sinneth hath not seen him, nor known him. ⁷ My dear children, let no man deceive you: he who doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: ⁸ he that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sinneth. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the power of that wicked one.

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.

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.

³⁹ And going a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

⁴⁶ Arise, let us go: lo! he that betrayeth me approaches.

⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptised with; and how am I distressed in spirit till it is finished!

³⁴ Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

¹⁸ No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I have received from my Father.

⁹ Just as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.

¹ HAVING thus spoken, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into which he went himself, and his disciples. ² Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for frequently had Jesus consorted with his disciples there. ³ Then Judas having taken a band of soldiers, and the inferior officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and arms. ⁴ Jesus therefore, conscious of all things that were coming upon him, going forward, said to them, Whom are ye seeking?

¹¹ Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the scabbard: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

⁸ and found in fashion as man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even to the death of the cross.

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, ⁸ though he was a son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered:

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.

² earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ Consider then attentively him that endured from sinners such opposition against himself, that ye be not wearied out, fainting in your souls.
