¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹ By power of signs and wonders, by power of the Spirit of God, so that I from Jerusalem, and round about even to Illyricum, have completed the good news of Christ. ²⁰ And so seeking the honour to announce the good news, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon a strange foundation:

³² That in joy I might come to you by the will of God, and rest with you.

²⁵ And to him being able to support you according to my good news, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent from eternal times,

¹ Paul, called, sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, ² To the church of God being in Corinth, to the consecrated in Christ Jesus, to the Called holy ones, with all calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours: ³ Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵ That in every thing we were enriched in him, in all the word, and all knowledge;

⁷ So that ye are not wanting in any grace; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹² And this I say, that each of you says, I truly am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

¹⁸ For truly the word of the cross to them perishing is foolishness; but to us saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and put away the understanding of the intelligent.

¹⁹ For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and put away the understanding of the intelligent. ²⁰ Where the wise? where the scribe? where the seekers together of this life has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

²⁴ And to these the called, to both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and wisdom of God.

²⁶ For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many powerful, not, many well born: ²⁷ But the foolish things of the world, has God chosen that he might shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen that he might shame things strong; ²⁸ And the ignoble things of the world, and the despised things, has God chosen, and things not being, that the things being he might leave unemployed:

³¹ That, as it has been written, Let him boasting, boast in the Lord.

³ And I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much tremor, was with you. ⁴ And my word and my proclaiming not in persuasible words of man's wisdom, but in manifestation of the Spirit and of power

⁶ But we speak wisdom among the perfected: and the wisdom not of this life, nor of the rulers of this life, they being left unemployed: ⁷ But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, hidden, which God determined beforehand, before the times to our glory:

¹⁴ And the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: and he cannot know, for they are spiritually examined. ¹⁵ And the spiritual truly examines all things, and he is examined by no one.

¹ And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as spiritual, but as carnal, as babes in Christ. ² I have given you milk to drink, and not food; for ye were not able, but neither now are ye yet able.

² I have given you milk to drink, and not food; for ye were not able, but neither now are ye yet able.

⁴ For when a certain one should say, I truly am of Paul; and another, I of Apollos; are ye not carnal? ⁵ Who then is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants by whom ye believed, and to each as the Lord gave?

⁵ Who then is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants by whom ye believed, and to each as the Lord gave? ⁶ I have planted, Apollos watered; but God increased.

⁶ I have planted, Apollos watered; but God increased. ⁷ So that neither he planting is anything, neither he watering; but God increasing. ⁸ And he planting and he watering are one: and each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise chief-architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon. And let each see how he builds upon.

¹³ The work of each shall be manifested: for the day shall manifest, for in fire it is revealed; and the work of each, what sort it is, the fire shall prove.

¹⁸ Let none completely deceive himself. If any think to be wise in this life, let him be foolish, that he may he wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written, He seizing the wise in their deceptions.

²¹ Therefore let none boast in men. For all things are yours;

² And besides it is sought in stewards, that any one be found faithful.

⁵ Therefore judge ye nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who also, will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of hearts: and then shall praise be to each from God. ⁶ And these things, brethren, I transformed to myself and to Apollos for you; that ye might learn in us not to think above what has been written, lest ye be puffed up one above one against the other. ⁷ For who distinguishes thee? and what hast thou which thou didst not receive? and if thou also didst receive, why dost thou boast, as not having received? ⁸ Already were ye satisfied, already were ye rich, without us ye reigned; and I would ye also reigned, that we also might reign together with you.

⁸ Already were ye satisfied, already were ye rich, without us ye reigned; and I would ye also reigned, that we also might reign together with you.

¹³ Being defamed, we entreat: as the filth of the world were we become, the offscouring of all until now.

¹⁵ For if ye have ten thousand preceptors in Christ, but not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus by the good news I begat you.

¹⁷ Therefore sent I Timothens to you, who is my beloved child, and faithful in the Lord, who will remind you of all my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in all the churches. ¹⁸ And as my not coming to you, some were puffed up.

¹⁸ And as my not coming to you, some were puffed up. ¹⁹ And I will come to you swiftly, if the Lord will, and I shall know not the word of those puffed up, but the power.

²¹ What will ye? should I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

² And ye were puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he having done this work might be taken away from the midst of you.

⁵ To deliver such a one to Satan for the ruin of the flesh, that the spirit might be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ Your boasting not good. Know ye not that a little leaven may leaven the whole mixture?

⁵ For confusion I speak to you. So is there not one wise with you, who will be able to judge between his brother?

⁷ For I will all men to be as also myself. But each has his own favor of God, the one truly thus, and the other thus.

¹⁷ Except as God divided to each, as the Lord has called each, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches.

²⁵ But for virgins I have not an order of the Lord: and I give an opinion as compassionated by the Lord to be faithful.

¹ And concerning sacrifice to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, and love builds the house.

¹ Am I not sent? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are ye not my work in the Lord ² If to others I am not sent, but surely I am to you: for the seal of my sending are ye in the Lord.

⁴ have we not power to eat and to drink?

⁶ Or I only and Barnabas, have we not power not to work?

¹² If others participate with your power, not rather we? But we used not this power; but endure all things, lest we give some hindrance to the good news of Christ.

¹⁴ Thus also the Lord appointed to them announcing good news to live of the good news. ¹⁵ But I used none of these things: and I wrote not these things, that thus it might be with me: for good to me rather to die, than that any should render my boasting void. ¹⁶ For if I announce the good news, there is no boasting to me: for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I announce not the good news! ¹⁷ For if of free will I do this, I have reward: and if unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a stewardship. ¹⁸ What reward therefore is to me? That announcing good news, I shall make the good news of Christ not expensive, not to make use of my power in the good news.

¹⁸ What reward therefore is to me? That announcing good news, I shall make the good news of Christ not expensive, not to make use of my power in the good news.

²³ And this. I do on account of the good news, that I might become a partaker of it.

¹² Therefore let him seeming to stand see that he fall not.

¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, do ye flee from idolatry. ¹⁵ As to the wise speak I; judge ye what I say.

¹ Be ye imitators of me, as I also of Christ. ² And I approve you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and as I have delivered to you, do ye hold the traditions.

¹⁶ And if any one seem to be loving strife, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye announce the Lord's death till he come.

³⁴ And if any hunger, let him eat in the house; lest ye come together for judgment. And the rest when I come I will regulate.

⁴ And there are distinctions of favors, and the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord. ⁶ And there are distinctions of performances, and it is the same God performing all things in all. ⁷ And to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit. ⁸ For truly to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹ And to another faith in the same Spirit; and to another graces of healings in the same Spirit; ¹⁰ And to another performances of powers; and to another discriminations of spirits; and to another kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ And all these works one and the same Spirit, dividing to each his own things as be will.

⁴ Love is slow to anger, possesses kindness; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ And I will ye all to speak with tongues, and rather that ye prophesy; for geater he prophesying, than he speaking with tongues, unless he interpret accurately, that the church receive building up.

³³ For God is not of unsteadiness, but of peace, as in all the churches of the holy ones.

¹⁰ And by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which in me was not vain; but I was more abundantly wearied than they all: and not I, but the grace of God which with me.

²³ And each in his own order: the first fruit Christ; then they of Christ in his arrival.

³⁰ And why are we in peril every hour? ³¹ In the day I die by: your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord. ³² If according to man I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what the profit to me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

³⁴ Recover your senses rightly, and in not; for some have a want of knowledge of God: I speak to your confusion.

¹ And concerning the collection for the holy ones, as I appointed to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

⁵ And I will come to you, when I pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

¹⁰ And if Timotheus come, see ye that he be with you fearlessly: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also.

⁸ For we wish you not to be ignorant, brethren, of our pressure having been to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly loaded, above strength, so that we were in utter perplexity even to live: ⁹ And we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have trusted in ourselves, but in God raising the dead: ¹⁰ Who saved us from so great a death, and does save: in whom we have hoped also that he will yet save;

¹² For our boasting is this, the testimony of our consciousness, that in simplicity and purity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we turned back in the world, and more eminently to you.

¹⁵ And in this confidence I wished to come to you before, that ye might have a second grace; ¹⁶ And by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia, to come to you, and by you to be sent forward to Judea. ¹⁷ Therefore I resolved this, much less did I use levity: or what I resolve, do I resolve according to the flesh, that there be with me yea, yea, and nay, nay

²³ And I call upon God a witness upon my soul, that, sparing you, I came no more to Corinth.

¹ And I determined this to myself, not to come to you again in sadness.

¹ And I determined this to myself, not to come to you again in sadness. ² For if I grieve you, and who is he making me glad, except he being grieved by me ³ And I wrote this same to you lest, coming, I should have sadness from whom I ought to rejoice, trusting to you all, that mine is the joy of you all.

¹⁷ For we are not as the many adulterating the word of God: but as of purity, but as of God, before the face of God speak we in Christ.

¹ Begin we again to recommend ourselves or need we not, as some; recommendatory epistles to you, or recommendatory from you? ² Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and acknowledged by all men: ³ Made manifest that ye are the epistle of Christ served by us, not written with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables made of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.

¹⁰ For also that having been glorified has not been glorified in this part, for sake of the glory excelling.

² But have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craft, neither adulterating the word of God; but by manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves to every consciousness of man before God.

⁵ For we proclaim not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus.

⁸ Being pressed in every thing, but not straightened; being at a loss, but not utterly perplexed;

⁸ Being pressed in every thing, but not straightened; being at a loss, but not utterly perplexed; ⁹ Being driven out, but not forsaken; being cast down, but not destroyed; ¹⁰ Always bearing about in the body the death of the Lord Jesus, that also the life of Jesus be made manifest in our body. ¹¹ For we, the living, are always delivered to death for Jesus, that also the life of Jesus be made manifest in our mortal flesh. ¹² So that death is truly energetic in us, and life in you.

¹⁵ For all things for you, that grace, having abounded by the many, might abound in thanksgiving to the glory of God.

¹⁰ For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of Christ; that each might receive the things for the body, for what he did, good or bad.

⁴ But in every thing recommending ourselves as servants of God, in much patience, in pressures, in necessities, in extremities,

⁴ But in every thing recommending ourselves as servants of God, in much patience, in pressures, in necessities, in extremities, ⁵ In blows, in imprisonments, in disorders, in fatigues, in watchings, in fastings;

⁹ As being ignorant, and knowing; as dying, and, behold, we live; as being disciplined, and not killed;

¹¹ Our month stands open to you, O Corinthians, our heart has been enlarged. ¹² Ye are not contracted in us, but ye are contracted in your bowels. ¹³ And for the same recompense, (I speak as to children,) be ye yourselves also enlarged.

³ I speak not to condemnation: for I have said before, ye are in our hearts to die together, and live together.

¹ And I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and equity of Christ, who, in face truly low with you, but at a distance bold towards you: ² And I pray, being present, not to be bold with the confidence which I reckon to encounter against certain, reckoning us as walking about according to the flesh.

⁴ (For the weapons of our warfare not fleshly, but powerful to God to the taking down of fortified places;) ⁵ Taking down reckonings, and every elevation lifted up against the knowledge of God, and taking captive every thought to the obedience of Christ; ⁶ And having in readiness to avenge every imperfect instruction, when your obedience should be completed. ⁷ See ye things according to the face? If any has persuaded himself to be of Christ, let him reckon this again of himself, that, as he of Christ, so we also of Christ. ⁸ For if I also boast something more abundantly of our power, which the Lord gave us for the building up, and not for your taking down, I shall not be ashamed:

¹⁰ (For truly the epistles, he says, weighty and strong; but the presence of the body weak, and the word counted as nothing.)

¹² For we dare not appear or join ourselves to certain of them recommending themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and joining themselves to themselves, do not understand.

¹⁵ Not boasting in things immeasurable, in the toils of others; and having hope, your faith being increased, to be enlarged in you according to our rule for abundance,

¹⁸ For not he recommending himself, this is acceptable, but whom the Lord recommends.

¹ I would ye hold me up a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

⁴ For if he coming proclaim another Jesus, which I proclaimed not, or ye receive another spirit, which ye received not, or other good news, which ye received not, ye have held up well.

¹¹ Wherefore? because I love you not? God knows. ¹² And what I do, and I will do, that I shall not cut off the occasion of those wishing the occasion; that in what they boast, they be found as also we. ¹³ For such the falsely sent, crafty workers, being transformed into the sent of Christ. ¹⁴ And not wonderful; for Satan himself is transformed into a messenger of light. ¹⁵ No great thing therefore if also his servants are transformed as servants of justice; whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁹ For ye bear with the mad willingly, being wise.

²³ Are they Christ's servants? (I speak being light-headed) I above; in toils more abundant, in blows more excessively, in watchings more abundantly, in deaths often.

²³ Are they Christ's servants? (I speak being light-headed) I above; in toils more abundant, in blows more excessively, in watchings more abundantly, in deaths often. ²⁴ Of the Jews five times I received forty, except one. ²⁵ Thrice was I scourged with rods, once was I stoned, thrice suffered I shipwreck, I have made a night and day in the deep; ²⁶ In journeys often, in dangers of rivers, in dangers of robbers, in dangers of the family, in dangers from the nations, in dangers in the city, in dangers in solitude, in dangers in the sea, in dangers with false brethren; ²⁷ In fatigue and toil, in watchfulnesses often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

²⁹ Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I am not inflamed

⁶ For if I be willing to boast, I shall not be mad; for the truth will I say: and I spare, lest any reckon for me above what he sees me, or what he hears of me.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace suffices thee: for my power is perfected in weakness. Therefore very willingly will I boast rather in my weaknesses, that Christ's power may lodge upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore am I contented in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities in expulsions, in extremities for Christ: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁴ Behold, I have prepared to come to you the third time; and I will not act with negligence to you: for I seek not your things, but you: for children ought not to treasure up for parents, but parents for children. ¹⁵ And I very willingly will expend and be expended for your souls; if also loving you more abundantly, the less I should be loved.

¹⁹ Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves to you? before God in Christ we speak: and all things, beloved, for your building up. ²⁰ For I am afraid, lest somehow, having come, I find you not such; as I will, and I find you such as ye wish not: lest somehow, strifes, jealousies, wraths, intrigues, calumnies, whisperings, inflations, derangements: ²¹ Lest, coming again, my God should humble me with you, and I shall mourn for many of them having sinned before, and not having repented for uncleanness, and fornication, and licentiousness which they committed.

¹ This third I come to you. By mouth of two witnesses, and three, shall every word be established. ² I have said before, and say beforehand, as being present the second; and being away now I write to them having sinned before, and to all the rest, that, if I should come again, I will not spare:

² I have said before, and say beforehand, as being present the second; and being away now I write to them having sinned before, and to all the rest, that, if I should come again, I will not spare: ³ Since seek proof of Christ speaking in me, who to you is no weak, but has power in you. ⁴ For also if he was crucified from weakness, but he lives from the power of God. For also we are weak in him, but we live with him from the power of God to you.

⁹ For we rejoice when we be weak, and ye be able: and this also we pray, your restoration. ¹⁰ For this I write these things being absent, that being present I should not wound severely, according to the power which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for pulling down.

¹⁹ My children, for whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you,

³ For if any think to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself.

⁹ Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his benevolence which he purposed in himself:

³ That by revelation he made Known to me the mystery; (as I before wrote briefly,

³ That by revelation he made Known to me the mystery; (as I before wrote briefly, ⁴ By which ye, reading, can perceive My understanding in the mystery of Christ,)

⁴ By which ye, reading, can perceive My understanding in the mystery of Christ,) ⁵ Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as now has been revealed to his holy sent and to the prophets by the Spirit:

⁵ Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as now has been revealed to his holy sent and to the prophets by the Spirit: ⁶ For the nations to be co-heirs, and united in one body, and, participators of his solemn promise in Christ by the good news: ⁷ Of which I Became a servant, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me according to the energy of his power ⁸ To me, the least of all the holy ones, was this grace given, to announce the good news in the nations, the untraceable riches of Christ. ⁹ And to enlighten all what the distribution of the mystery, concealed from times immemorial in God, having created all things by Jesus Christ:

¹⁹ And for me, that the word might be given me, in the opening of my mouth in freedom of speech, to make known the mystery of the good news,

²¹ And that ye also might know the things concerning me, what I do, Tychicus will make all things known to you, the dearly beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord:

²⁷ Only live as citizens worthy of the good news of Christ: that whether coming and seeing you, whether being absent, I shall bear the things concerning you, that ye stand in one spirit, one soul, fighting together in faith of the good news;

²⁹ For upon you was it conferred as a favor for Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him; ³⁰ Having the same struggle which ye saw in me, and now hear in me.

¹² Therefore, my beloved, as ye have always listened, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and tremor effect your own salvation.

¹⁹ And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy quickly to you, that I also be courageous, having known the things concerning you.

¹⁷ Be ye imitators together of me, brethren, and observe narrowly those walking thus, as ye have us for a type.

⁹ And what things ye learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me, these do; and the God of peace shall be with you.

¹² And I know how to be humble, and I know how to abound in every thing: and in all I am instructed also to be full and to hunger, and to abound and to be in want.

⁷ As also ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellowservant, who is a faithful servant of Christ for you;

²⁵ Of which I was a servant, according to the stewardship of God, given to me for you, to complete the word of God; ²⁶ The mystery hid from times immemorial, and from generations, and now has been manifested to his holy ones: ²⁷ To whom God would make known what the riches of the glory of this mystery in the nations; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: ²⁸ Whom we announce, reminding every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfected in Christ jesus:

² That their hearts might be comforted, being joined together in love, and to all the riches of the complete certainty of the understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and the Father, and of Christ;

¹⁸ Let none condemn you being willing in humility and religious worship of angels, going into what he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

³ Praying together also for us, that God would open to us a door of the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, by which also I was bound;

⁷ All things concerning me shall Tychicus make known to you, a dearly beloved brother, and a faithful servant and fellowservant in the Lord:

⁹ With Onesimus, the faithful and dearly beloved brother, who is of you. They shall make known to you all the thing here.

¹⁷ And say to Archippus, Look out for the service which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fill it.

⁵ For our good news was not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much complete certainty; as we know what we were among you for your sake. ⁶ And ye were imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much pressure, with joy of the Holy Spirit:

⁷ But we were gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse should cherish her children:

⁹ For ye remember, brethren, our fatigue and toil: for also working night and day, not to overload any of you, we proclaimed to you the good news of God.

¹¹ As ye know how each one of you, as a father his children, comforting and encouraging, and testifying,

¹⁹ For what our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Are not also ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his arrival? ²⁰ For ye are our glory and joy.

² And sent Timothy, our brother, and servant of God, and our coworker in the good news of Christ, in order to make you firm, and comfort you for your faith ³ For none to be shaken in these pressures: for ye yourselves know that for this we are placed.

³ For none to be shaken in these pressures: for ye yourselves know that for this we are placed.

⁶ And now Timothy having come to us from you, and having announced to us the good news, your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance. of us always, greatly desiring to see us, as we also you: ⁷ For this, brethren, were we comforted in you in all our pressure, and necessity by your faith: ⁸ For now we live, if ye stand in the Lord. ⁹ For what thankfulness can we return to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for you before our God;

⁸ For surely therefore he despising, despises not man, but God, he also giving his holy Spirit for us.

² For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so comes.

⁹ For God set us not for wrath, but for the acquisition of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁰ He having died for us, that, whether we watch or sleep, we should live together with him.

¹⁴ And we beseech you, brethren, remind the disorderly, encourage the timid, sustain the weak, and be slow to anger to all.

¹² That all might be judged not believing the truth but contented in iniquity. ¹³ And we ought to return thanks to God always for you, brethren dearly beloved by the Lord, that God chose you from the beginning to salvation in consecration of the Spirit and belief of the truth: ¹⁴ To which he called you by our good news, to the acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ Neither ate we the bread of any as a gift; but in fatigue and toil working night and day also, not to overload any of you: ⁹ Not that we have not power, but that we give ourselves a type to you to imitate us.

² To Timothy, genuine child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹² And I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, having strengthened me, for he deemed me faithful, having set me in the service; ¹³ Being before slandering, expelling, and an abuser: but I was commiserated, because I did, not knowing, in unbelief. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord superabounded with faith and love in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Faithful the word, and worthy of all acceptance, for Christ Jesus came into the world to save the sinful; of whom I am first.

⁶ Not newly planted, lest rendered proud he fall into condemnation of the accuser.

⁹ Having the mystery of faith in pure consciousness.

¹⁶ And manifestly great is the mystery of devotion: God was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed in the nations, was believed on in the world, was received up in glory.

¹⁰ For, for this also we are wearied and reproached, that we have hoped in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, chiefly of the faithful.

² To Timothy, dearly beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and christ Jesus our Lord.

² And what thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these things lay by for faithful men, who will be sufficient to teach others also.

¹⁰ For this I endure all things for the chosen, that they also might attain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. ¹¹ Faithful the word: For if we died together, we shall also live together: ¹² If we endure, we shall also reign together: if we deny, he will also deny us:

¹⁰ And thou hast closely followed my doctrine, mode of life, purpose, faith, long suffering, love, patience, ¹¹ Expulsions, sufferings, which were to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what expulsions I endured: and the Lord delivered me from all.

³ For the time will be when they will not hear sound doctrine; but according to their own eager desires they will heap up to themselves teachers, feeling itchings for a report;

⁴ To Titus, genuine child according to the common faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

⁷ For a bishop must be irreproachable, as steward of God; not self-sufficient, not prone to anger, not intemperate, not a striker, not occupied in sordid gain.

³ For once we also were unwise disobedient, deceived, being slaves to eager desires and various pleasures, living in vexation and envy, hated, and hating one another. ⁴ And when the kindness and philanthropy of our Saviour God was made evident, ⁵ Not of works in justice which we did; but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renovation of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ Which he poured out upon us richly by Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ That justified by his grace, we might be heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

¹⁰ I beseech thee for my child whom I begat in my bonds, Onesimus. ¹¹ Once unprofitable to thee, but now more profitable to thee and to me: ¹² Whom I sent back: and thou him, that is, my bowels, receive again:

¹⁹ I Paul wrote with my hand, I will pay back: that I say not to thee, for thou owest thyself to me also in addition.

¹⁴ Are they not all spirits qualified for service, sent forth for service for them about to inherit salvation?

¹³ And there is no creation invisible before him: and all things naked and exposed, neck and face to view, to the eyes of him with whom to us is the word.

³ And this will we do, if God even permit.

³³ This, truly, being exposed to public view both by reproaches and pressures; and this, having been partakers of those thus overturned.

³⁶ And others received trial of jestings and scourges, and further, of bonds and imprisonment:

⁷ Remember them guiding you, who spake to you the word of God: of whom, observing narrowly the issue of the mode of life, imitate the faith:

¹⁷ Every good donation and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom not one change, or shadow of turning. ¹⁸ Having willed he brought forth by the word of truth, for us to be some first fruit of his creatures.

¹⁷ And the wisdom from above is truly first pure, then peaceful, decorous, docile, full of mercy and good fruits, not separated, and unfeigned.

¹¹ Speak not against one another, brethren. He speaking against a brother, and judging his brother, speaks against the law, and judges the law: and if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

¹⁵ For you should say, If the Lord will, and we live, and should do this, or that.

⁷ Therefore be longsuffering, brethren, even to the arrival of the Lord. Behold, the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, being longsuffering for it, even till he should receive the early and late rain.

⁷ That the proof of your faith, much more precious than perishing gold, and being tried by fire, might be found to praise and honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

²³ Begotten again, not of corrupted seed, but uncorrupted, by the word of God, living and remaining forever.

²³ Who, being reviled, reviled not back; suffering, he threatened not; and delivered to him judging justly;

⁹ Not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing: and on the contrary prayer; knowing that to this were ye called, that ye might inherit praise.

¹⁴ But if ye also suffer for justice, happy are ye: be not afraid of their fear, neither be troubled;

¹⁰ As each received favor, serving the same among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

¹² Dearly beloved, be not astonished at the refining of fire in you, being for trial to you, as a strange thing happening to you: ¹³ But, inasmuch as ye participate in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; that also, in the revelation of his glory, ye might rejoice, transported with joy. ¹⁴ If ye be reproached in the name of Christ, ye happy; for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you: by them truly he is defamed, and by you he is praised.

¹⁴ If ye be reproached in the name of Christ, ye happy; for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you: by them truly he is defamed, and by you he is praised.

¹⁹ Therefore let them also suffering according to the will of God commit their souls in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

³ Neither as ruling over the portions obtained by lot, but being types of the flock. ⁴ And the chief Shepherd having been manifested, ye shall be attired with an unfading crown of glory.

⁴ And saying, Where is the solemn promise of his presence? for from the time the fathers were set to sleep, so continue all things from the beginning of creation.

¹² Expecting and seeking earnestly the presence of the day of God, during which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements going to be burned are melted away?

²⁰ For if our heart condemn us, for God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. ²¹ Dearly beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have freedom of speech towards God.

⁴ I have no joy greater than these that I hear my children walking in truth.

⁹ But Michael the archangel, when fighting with the accuser, discussed concerning the body of Moses, dared not to bring the judgment of defamation, but said, May the Lord censure thee.

¹⁴ And also of these prophesied Enoch, the seventh from Adam, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,

⁷ Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they who goaded him: and all the tribes of the earth shall lament on account of him. Yes, Amen.

¹⁰ Neither be afraid of what things thou art about to suffer: behold, the accuser is about to cast of you into prison, that ye might be tried; and ye shall have pressure ten days: be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹³ I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan: and thou holdest my name, and hast not denied my faith, and in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness, who was slain with you, where Satan dwells.

¹⁷ For thou sayest, That I am rich, and have abounded, and have need of nothing; and thou knowest not that thou art wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked;

¹⁰ And madest us kings and priests to our God: and we shall reign upon the earth.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of the slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they had: ¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, Till when, Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood of them dwelling upon earth ¹¹ And to each were given white robes; and it was said to them, that they should rest for a little time, till also their fellowservants be filled up, about to be killed, as also they.

¹¹ And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² Saying, Amen: praise, and glory, and wisdom, and gratitude, and honour, and power, and strength, to our God for ever and ever. Amen. ¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These having put round white robes, who are they? and whence came they ¹⁴ And I said to him, Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they coming out of great pressure, and they washed their robes, and whitened their robes in the blood of the Lamb.

⁶ And I saw the woman intoxicated from the blood of the holy, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus: and 1 wondered, seeing her, with great wonder. ⁷ And the angel said to me, Why didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the wild beast lifting her up, having seven heads and ten horns.

¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is of life: and the dead were judged from the things written in the books, according to their works.
