¹¹ in whom also ye have been circumcised with the circumcision not made with hands, by the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, through the circumcision of Christ: ¹² buried with him in baptism, in which also ye have been raised up together with him by faith, the energy of God, who raised him from the dead. ¹³ And you, who were dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him, freely forgiving you all trespasses;

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine: so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. 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. ⁸ Herein is my Father glorified, that ye should bring forth much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

⁸ But if we have been dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: ⁹ knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death over him hath no more dominion. ¹⁰ For in that he died, for sin he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God. ¹¹ So also do ye account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord. ¹² Let not therefore sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the passions thereof.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin. ³⁵ But the slave abideth not in the family for ever: but the son abideth for ever. ³⁶ If the Son therefore make you free, ye will be truly free.

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.

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.

²² that ye put off respecting your former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful passions;

¹¹ in whom also ye have been circumcised with the circumcision not made with hands, by the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, through the circumcision of Christ: ¹² buried with him in baptism, in which also ye have been raised up together with him by faith, the energy of God, who raised him from the dead.

⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, the vile passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is idolatry:

⁹ Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his practices; ¹⁰ and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge, after the image of him that created him.

² God forbid. We who are dead to sin, how shall we still live therein?

² For the woman who is subject to a husband, is bound by the law to that husband during his life; but if the husband be dead, she is discharged from that husband.

¹ CHRIST then having suffered for us in the flesh, be ye also in mind armed for the same conflict: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sinning;

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

³ Do ye not know, that as many as have been baptised into Christ Jesus have been baptised into his death?

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. ¹³ Having then the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore I have spoken, we also believe, and therefore speak; ¹⁴ knowing that he who raised up our Lord Jesus Christ, will raise up us also through Jesus, and present us together with you.

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.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again, so also those that have fallen asleep for Jesus shall God bring with him. ¹⁵ For this I say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent those who are fallen asleep. 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.

¹¹ It is a faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: ¹² if we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him: if we renounce him, he also will renounce us:

²⁴ whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby. ²⁵ For David speaketh concerning him, "I have seen the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I might not be shaken: ²⁶ therefore is my heart full of joy, and my tongue hath exulted; and still shall my flesh also repose in hope, ²⁷ that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with delight by thy countenance."

¹⁴ But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over those who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of him that was to come.

¹⁴ For sin shall not hold dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

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.

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

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.

¹² but this person, having offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever hath seated himself at the right hand of God; ¹³ henceforth waiting till his enemies be put as a footstool for his feet.

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.

³⁸ Now God is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live with him.

¹¹ So also do ye account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

⁷ For no one of us liveth to himself, and no one dieth to himself. ⁸ For whether we live, to the Lord we live, and whether we die, to the Lord we die; whether therefore we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose again, and revived, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.

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.

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.

²⁶ (for in that case he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world:) but now once for all at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested for the abolishing sin by the sacrifice of himself. ²⁷ And forasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment, ²⁸ so Christ having been once offered in sacrifice to bear the sins of men, will appear the second time without sin, to those who expect him, for their salvation.

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:

⁶ For to this end was the gospel preached to those that are dead, that they might be judged indeed in the flesh according to the will of men, but live in spirit according to the will of God.

³¹ but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

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

¹³ Neither present your members as weapons of unrighteousness for sin: but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness for God.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is life eternal in Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of the present moment are not worthy to be placed against the future glory that shall be revealed to us.

²⁷ to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²⁰ For ye have been bought with a price: glorify then God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

¹⁹ For I through the law am dead to the law, that I should live unto God. 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.

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

¹¹ filled with fruits of righteousness, which by Jesus Christ are to the glory and praise of God.

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

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. ⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, the vile passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is idolatry:

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.

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.

¹¹ If any man speak, let it be agreeably to the oracles of God; if any man act as a deacon, let it be from the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory and might for ever and ever. Amen.

⁸ But to those who are of a contentious spirit, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath;

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

²³ but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man, I! who shall pluck me from the body of this death?

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

⁵³ For that which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and that which is mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ So when that which is corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and that which is mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying which is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

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.

⁴ For we which are in this tabernacle, groan, being burdened; wherein we desire not to be unclothed, but clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.

¹⁶ But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

³ among whom also we all have had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as well as the rest.

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

²² But flee youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.

¹² instructing us, that denying ungodliness and worldly affections, we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in the present day;

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

¹⁴ but every person is tempted, when by his own peculiar passion he is born away, and ensnared. ¹⁵ Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death.

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

¹¹ Beloved, I exhort you, as strangers and sojourners, Abstain from carnal lusts, which war against the soul;

¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof, but he who doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

¹⁶ These men are murmurers, complainers at their lot in life, walking after their own corrupt passions; and their mouth utters hyperbolically pompous expressions, pretending high personal admiration, in order to make their advantage.

¹⁸ how they told you that in the last time there will be scoffers, walking after their own ungodly passions.

²⁴ For this my son was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. And they began to be joyous.

³² But it was right that we should rejoice, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

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

²⁹ replete with all injustice, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, villany; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, evil habits; whisperers,

⁸ But to those who are of a contentious spirit, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath; ⁹ tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth wickedness, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions excited by the law, wrought powerfully in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.

²³ but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members.

¹ I BESEECH you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

¹⁵ Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Taking then the members of Christ, shall I make them members of an harlot? God forbid.

⁵ And not [merely] as we hoped, but gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us according to the will of God.

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

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

¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."

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.

¹³ And you, who were dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him, freely forgiving you all trespasses;

¹² that they all might be damned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

⁵ So also the tongue is a little member, and proudly vaunts. Behold how great a pile of wood, a little fire kindleth! ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: in such manner is the tongue placed among our members, that it defileth all the body, and setteth on fire the circle of nature; and is set on fire of hell.

¹ FROM whence come wars and conflicts among you? spring they not from hence, even from your passions, which war in your members? ² that he might not spend the remaining space of life in the flesh after human passions, but the divine will.

¹³ receiving the recompence of iniquity, counting daily luxury their pleasure; spots and blemishes, when they feast together with you; riotously indulging in their own delusions: ¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and insatiable of sin; ensnaring souls of no stability; having a heart practised in all the wiles of covetousness; children for a curse: ¹⁵ who forsaking the strait road are gone out of the way, following the path of Balaam the son of Bosor who loved the wages of iniquity.

⁹ If we confess our sins, faithful is he and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but the grace and the reality came by Jesus Christ.

³⁶ If the Son therefore make you free, ye will be truly free.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatsoever things the law saith, it speaks to those who are under the law: that every mouth might be sealed up, and all the world become criminal before God. ²⁰ Wherefore by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified before God: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

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

⁴ Wherefore, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye might be for another, who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit for God. ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions excited by the law, wrought powerfully in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death. ⁶ But now we have been discharged from the law, that being dead by which we were held fast; that we should serve in renovation of spirit, and not in the antiquity of the letter. ⁷ What then shall we say? Is the law sin? God forbid. Yea, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not even known concupiscence, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. ⁸ But sin, seizing the opportunity by the law, wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin is dead. ⁹ For though I lived without the law formerly; yet when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which [was] for life, the same was found by me for death. ¹¹ For sin, seizing the occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and thereby slew me.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath liberated me from the law of sin and of death.

¹² Truly then we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

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

⁶ Who hath made us also able ministers of the new testament, not of the letter but of the spirit; for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. ⁷ For if the ministry of death in letters graven on stone, was attended with glory, so that the children of Israel could not keep their eyes fixed upon the countenance of Moses, because of the glory of his countenance, though [soon] evanescent; ⁸ how much more will not the ministry of the Spirit be attended with glory? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation is glory, much more doth the ministry of righteousness excel in glory.

²³ But before the faith came, we were in ward under the law, shut up together for the faith that should be revealed.

⁴ but when the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his Son born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

²¹ Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

¹⁸ But if ye are under the conduct of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

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

¹⁰ For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; giving my laws to their understanding, even on their hearts will I inscribe them: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

⁹ What then? have we pre-eminence? Not at all: for we have before proved that both the Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

¹ THAT then shall we say? Shall we abide in sin, that grace may abound? ² God forbid. We who are dead to sin, how shall we still live therein?

²⁰ And I became to the Jews as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law; ²¹ to those who are without law, as without law (not as being without law to God, but under the law to Christ), that I might gain those who were without law.

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

¹⁷ For if seeking to be justified by Christ, we also ourselves should be found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? God forbid. ¹⁸ For if I build up again the very same things which I have pulled down, I stamp myself a transgressor.

⁸ For by grace ye are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: ⁹ not by works, lest any man should boast; ¹⁰ for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God hath before prepared us, that we should walk therein. ¹¹ For the grace of God which leads to salvation hath appeared unto all men, ¹² instructing us, that denying ungodliness and worldly affections, we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in the present day; ¹³ expecting the blessed hope, and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

²⁴ No man can serve two masters: for he will either hate the one, and love the other; or he will adhere to the one, and disregard the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin.

¹² Let not therefore sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the passions thereof. ¹³ Neither present your members as weapons of unrighteousness for sin: but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness for God.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that though ye were the servants of sin, ye have obeyed from the heart the model of doctrine into which ye were delivered.

¹⁹ I speak humanly, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have presented your members servants to impurity and iniquity for iniquity; so now present your members servants to righteousness for holiness. ²⁰ For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were free from righteousness. ²¹ What fruit therefore had ye then in those things at which ye are now confounded? for the end of those things is death. ²² But now being set at liberty from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and at the end life eternal. ²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is life eternal in Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁹ Preaching liberty to them, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for by whatever a man is overcome, by that also he is enslaved.

²⁵ At that time Jesus spake and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and the intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes: ²⁶ yes, Father! since such is thy good pleasure.

¹⁸ So when they heard these things they were satisfied, and glorified God, saying, Well! then hath God even to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.

¹⁵ And the brethren from thence, when they heard of our motions, came out to meet us as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns: whom when Paul saw, he gave thanks to God, and felt fresh courage.

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

⁸ First then I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is proclaimed through the whole world.

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

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

⁴ I give thanks to my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which hath been given you in Christ Jesus;

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

¹⁴ But thanks be to God, who causeth us always to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

⁵ laying low proud reasonings, and every high thing which exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and making every thought captive to the obedience of Christ: ⁶ and holding ourselves ready to avenge every act of disobedience, when your obedience is fully proved.

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

⁵ though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved,) ⁶ and hath raised us up together with him, and made us sit down together in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus. ⁷ That he might shew forth in the ages to come the transcendent riches of his grace, in the kindness shewed to us in Christ Jesus.

³ I give thanks to my God on every remembrance of you, ⁴ always in every prayer of mine for you all, making request with joy, ⁵ for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day even until now;

³ We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you, ⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love ye show to all the saints;

² We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; ³ without ceasing calling to mind your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

⁹ For what sufficient thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice on your account before our God,

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:

¹³ who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolently violent, But I was admitted to mercy, for I did it ignorantly in unbelief; ¹⁴ but the grace of our Lord hath exceedingly abounded with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief. ¹⁶ But for this end obtained I mercy, that in me, the chief, Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to those who should after believe in him unto eternal life.

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; ⁴ earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I might be filled with joy; ⁵ recalling to my memory the unfeigned faith which was in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that [it is] in thee also.

¹³ Model thy teaching according to the pattern of the sound discourses, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

³ For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. ⁴ But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth, ⁵ not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ that justified by his grace, we might become heirs in hope of eternal life.

⁴ I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers,

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

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

²² Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth through the Spirit unto fraternal affection undissembled, love each other intensely out of a pure heart:

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

¹ LIKEWISE, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if some obey not the word, by their wives' conduct without the word, they may be won over;

² that he might not spend the remaining space of life in the flesh after human passions, but the divine will. ³ For the time past of life is enough for us to have wrought the will of the heathen, when we walked in all impurities, lewd appetites, excess of wine, revels, drinking-bouts, and abominable idolatries; ⁴ wherein they think it a strange thing, that you are not running with them into the same gulph of profligacy, spreading every scandalous report of you: ⁵ who shall give an account to him, who holds himself ready to judge the living and the dead.

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

⁴ I rejoiced greatly that I found thy children walking in truth, as we have received commandment from the Father.

³ I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came, and bore witness to thy truth, even as thou walkest in the truth.

⁷⁴ to give us, that we, secure from fear, rescued from the hands of our enemies, should serve him, ⁷⁵ in righteousness and holiness before him, all the days of our life.

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

⁷ For he that is dead is discharged from sin.

¹⁹ I speak humanly, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have presented your members servants to impurity and iniquity for iniquity; so now present your members servants to righteousness for holiness. ²⁰ For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

²¹ Art thou called being a slave? let it give thee no concern; but if thou canst also obtain thy freedom, rather make use of it. ²² For he that is called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freed man: in like manner also, he that is called, being a free man, is the servant of Christ.

¹ STAND fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made you free, and be not again held under a yoke of bondage.

⁵ But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is not God unrighteous in inflicting wrath? (I speak humanly).

¹⁶ Do ye not know, that to whomsoever ye present yourselves servants to obey, ye are his servants to whom ye obey; if of sin unto death, or of obedience, unto righteousness? ¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that though ye were the servants of sin, ye have obeyed from the heart the model of doctrine into which ye were delivered.

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.

¹ WE then that are strong, ought to bear the infirmities of those who are feeble, and not to gratify ourselves.

¹¹ Yet such were some of you: but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God.

⁸ Speak I these things [rationally] as a man, or doth not the law speak the same things?

³² If after the manner of men I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, of what advantage would it be to me, if the dead did not rise again? shall we eat and drink; because to-morrow we die? ³³ Be not deceived: evil conversations corrupt good manners.

¹⁵ Brethren, I speak humanly; to use a similitude, a man's testament, if it be passed in legal form, no man can vacate, or add thereunto.

² wherein in times past ye walked after the fashion of this world, after the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now worketh with energy in the children of disobedience: ³ among whom also we all have had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as well as the rest.

⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, the vile passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is idolatry: ⁶ for which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of disobedience; ⁷ in which ye also walked formerly when ye lived among them:

¹⁶ But profane vain bablings avoid: for they will proceed to greater lengths of impiety. ¹⁷ And their discourse will eat like as a gangrene; of whom are Hymeneus and Philetus;

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 carefully observing lest any of you fail of attaining the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and by it many be defiled;

² that he might not spend the remaining space of life in the flesh after human passions, but the divine will. ³ For the time past of life is enough for us to have wrought the will of the heathen, when we walked in all impurities, lewd appetites, excess of wine, revels, drinking-bouts, and abominable idolatries; ⁴ wherein they think it a strange thing, that you are not running with them into the same gulph of profligacy, spreading every scandalous report of you:

¹⁷ Then coming to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father abound with loaves of bread, and I am pining away with famine! ¹⁸ I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, ¹⁹ and I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hirelings. ²⁰ And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet at a considerable distance, his father discovered him, and was moved with compassion, and running, fell on his neck, and kissed him again and again. ²¹ Then said the son unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

³² who, though they know the righteous judgment of God, that they who live in such practices are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also find pleasure in the company of those who live in these practices.

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

¹¹ For behold this very thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly manner, how great diligence did it produce in you! yea, what apologizing! yea, what indignation! yea, what fear! yea, what earnest desire! yea, what zeal! yea, what vengeance! In every step ye have approved yourselves as pure in this affair.

⁷ Be not deceived; God is not to be trifled with: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. ⁸ For he that soweth unto his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption, and he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

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

⁸ but if it produceth thorns and thistles, it is abandoned, and near the curse [of barrenness], whose end will be for burning.

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

¹⁵ Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death.

²⁰ let him know, that he that converteth a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.

²⁸ And now, my dear children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be put to shame by him at his coming.

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

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

⁴⁰ As therefore the zizane are gathered, and burned in the fire; just so shall it be at the end of this world.

⁴³ Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

²⁹ And every one who hath left family, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name sake, shall receive an hundred fold, and shall inherit life eternal.

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

³⁶ And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

² Every branch in me that beareth no fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he pruneth it clean, that it may bring forth more fruit.

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.

¹⁸ Emancipated then from sin, ye became servants to righteousness.

²¹ What fruit therefore had ye then in those things at which ye are now confounded? for the end of those things is death.

²⁵ I give thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Well then, I myself with my mind am servant to the law of God; but in my flesh to the law of sin.

²² For he that is called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freed man: in like manner also, he that is called, being a free man, is the servant of Christ.

¹⁷ Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

¹⁰ For do I now use persuasions from men, or from God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

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

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

¹⁷ Not that I am anxious for a gift; but I am anxious to see fruit abounding on your account.

¹⁰ that ye may walk worthy of the Lord, well pleasing him in all things, in every good work fruitful, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

¹² Epaphras, one of you, saluteth you, a servant of Christ, always wrestling for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God, and the knowledge of truth which leads to godliness;

¹ JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are dispersed, greeting.

⁹ receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

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

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

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.

³⁹ Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. ⁴⁰ And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

²⁷ Labour not for the meat which is perishable, but for that meat which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for him hath the Father sealed, even God.

³² Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven. ³³ For he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world, is the bread of God.

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.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that any person may eat of it, and never die. 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. ⁵² Then the Jews contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh truly is meat, and my blood truly is drink. 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.

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, unto whom shall we go from thee? thou hast the words of eternal life.

²⁸ and I give unto them everlasting life and they shall never perish to eternity, and no person shall pluck them out of my hand.

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:

⁷ to those who, in the patient practice of good works, seek glory and honour and immortality—eternal life.

¹² Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; even so death passed into all men through him, in whom all have sinned.

¹⁷ For if by the offence of one, death reigned by that one; much more they who receive the abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Christ Jesus.

⁹ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

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

² in hope of life eternal, which God, who cannot lie, hath promised before time had a being; ³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto an animating hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ for an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you,

²⁵ And this is the promise which he hath promised to us, even life eternal.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God hath given life eternal to us; and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that hath the Son, hath this life; and he that hath not the Son of God, hath not this life.

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.
