²⁴ None can serve two lords: for either he will hate one and love the other; or hold firmly to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

¹ Judge not, that ye be not judged. ² For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye measure, it shall be repaid to you.

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone asking, receives and he seeking, finds; and to him knocking shall be opened.

²⁸ And fear not from those killing the body, and not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him able to destroy also soul and body in hell.

²⁹ Lift up my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and humble in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls.

³³ Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree rotten, and its fruit rotten; for the tree is known by its fruit.

³⁹ And he having answered, said to them, An evil generation and an adulteress seeks a sign; and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

¹² For whoever has shall be given to him, and he shall have in excess; and whoever has not, also what he has shall be taken away from him.

² Wherefore do thy disciples pass by the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

¹⁹ For from the heart come forth evil reflections, slaughters, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, defamations:

⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and no sign shall be given her, except the sign of Jonas the prophet. And having left them, he departed.

²² And Jesus having answered, said, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink the cup which I am about to drink, and be immersed with the immersion which I am immersed? They say to him, We can.

¹² And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whoever shall humble himself, shall be exalted.

²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and the side dish of sweet-meats, and within they are full of pillage and bad mixture. ²⁶ O blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, and side dish of sweetmeats, that also their outside might be clean.

²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that it profits nothing, but there is rather an uproar, having taken water, he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this just one: ye shall see yourselves.

²¹ For within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil reflections, adulteries, fornications, murders, ²² Thefts, overreaching, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, defamation, pride, foolishness: ²³ All these evils go out from within, and pollute a man.

³⁸ And Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink the cup which I drink? and the immersion with which I am immersed to be immersed

⁵² he has pulled down the powerful from thrones, and lifted up the

² Being tempted forty days by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days: and they having ended, he afterward hungered. ³ And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, say thou to this stone that it might be bread. ⁴ And Jesus answered to him saying, It has been written, That not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word of God. ⁵ And the devil, bringing him into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable globe in an instant of time. ⁶ And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for to me has it been delivered; and to whom I will I give it. ⁷ Therefore if thou worship before me, all shall be thine. ⁸ And having answered him Jesus said, Retire behind me, Satan: for it has been written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. ⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him upon the small wing of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of God; cast thyself down from hence: ¹⁰ For it has been written, That he shall charge his messengers concerning thee, to watch over thee: ¹¹ And upon hands shall they lift thee up, lest that perhaps thou shouldest strike thy foot against a stone. ¹² And Jesus having answered said to him, That it has been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. ¹³ And having ended all the trial, the devil departed from him for a time.

²¹ Happy the hungering now: for ye shall be satisfied. Happy the weeping now: for ye shall laugh.

²⁵ Woe to you having been filled for ye shall hunger. Woe to you laughing now! for ye shall grieve and weep.

³⁷ And judge not, and ye should not be judged: condemn not, and ye should not be condemned: loose ye, and ye shall be loosed.

⁹ And I say ' to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ¹⁰ For every one asking, receives; and he seeking, finds; and to him knocking, it shall be opened. . ¹¹ And shall a son ask bread of any of you a father, will he give him a stone ? and if a fish, for a fish he will not give him a serpent. ¹² Or also if he ask an egg, he will not give him a scorpion. ¹³ If then ye, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children; how much more the Father, be from heaven, will give the Holy Spirit to them asking him ?

³⁹ And the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and trencher; and your inside is full of plunder and wickedness. ⁴⁰ O foolish, has not he having made the outside, also made the inside?

⁵ And I will shew you whom ye should fear: Fear him having power, after killing, to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear him.

¹⁷ And he calculated in himself, saying, What shall I do, for I have not where I shall collect together my fruits? ¹⁸ And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my stores, and build greater; and there will I collect all my produce and my good things. ¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years; rest, eat, drink, be gladdened. ²⁰ And God said to him, O foolish one, this night they require thy soul from thee: and what thou hast prepared, to whom shall it be?

⁴⁷ And that servant having known his lord's will, and not prepared, neither having done his will, shall be skinned with many. ⁴⁸ And he not having known, and having done things worthy of blows, shall be skinned with few. And to every one to whom much was given, shall much be required of him: and with whom they have deposited much, they will ask of him the more.

¹¹ For whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be exalted.

¹³ And not many days after, having gathered all things, the younger son went abroad into a far-off country, and there disposed his property, living in a profligate manner.

³⁰ And when this thy son, devouring thy property with harlots, came, thou hast sacrificed for him the fattened calf.

¹ And he said to his disciples, A certain man was rich, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as dispersing his goods. ² And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear of thee give back the word of thy stewardship; for thou canst no more be steward.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou didst receive thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: and now here is he comforted, and thou art tormented.

¹⁴ I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.

²⁷ But those mine enemies, not haying wished me to reign over them, bring hither, and slaughter before me.

¹⁰ And Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who he is saying to thee, Give me to drink: thou hadst asked him, and he had given thee living water.

⁷ The world cannot hate you: but me it hates, for I testify of it, that its works are evil.

⁴² Said not the writing, That of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was, Christ comes?

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the eager desires of your father will ye do. He was slaying men from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he would speak a lie, he speaks of his own things; for he is a liar, and the father of him.

⁴¹ We are not also blind? Jesus said to them If ye were blind, ye had not sinned: and now ye say, That we see; therefore your sin remains.

³⁵ If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the writing cannot be loosed;

¹⁷ If ye know these, happy are ye if ye do them.

¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not sin and now they have no pretext for their sin. ²³ He hating me hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I did not the works in them which none other has done, they had not sin: and now have they also seen and hated also me and my Father.

²⁴ Until now ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy might be completed.

¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

³⁷ And again another writing. says, They shall look on whom they goaded.

⁹ And the patriarchs having been jealous, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,

⁶ And he trembling and amazed said, Lord, What wilt thou me to do? And the Lord to him, Arise, and come into the city, and it shall be spoken to thee what thou must do.

⁹ And separated nothing between us and also them, by faith having purified their hearts.

²⁹ And having asked for a light, he rushed in, and being trembling, fell before Paul and Silas, ³⁰ And bringing them out, he said, Lords, what must I do that I might be saved ³¹ And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

²¹ But he took leave of them, saying, I must at any rate do the coming festival in Jerusalem: and I will again return to you, God willing. And he was conveyed from Ephesus.

¹⁹ Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision:

¹⁰ If in any way I shall be prospered on my way in the will of God to come to you.

²⁰ For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world, being understood by things made, are inspected, truly both his eternal power and divinity; so that they are inexcusable: ²¹ Wherefore having known God, not as God did they honour or return thanks; but were rendered vain in their conversations, and their heart without understanding was darkened.

²⁹ Having been filled with all injustice, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, badness; full of envy, slaughter, strife, deceit, malignity,

³² Who knowing the justice of God, that they doing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also approve those doing.

¹ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one judging: for in what thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou judging doest the same.

¹³ (For not hearers of the law just with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

¹⁷ Behold, thou art named a Jew, and restest upon the law, and boastest thyself in God, ¹⁸ And knowest the will, and triest things differing, being sounded out of the law; ¹⁹ And art persuaded thou thyself to be a guide of the blind, a light of them in darkness, ²⁰ An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the inexperienced, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law. ²¹ Therefore teaching another, teachest thou not thyself proclaiming not to steal, stealest thou? ²² Speaking not to commit adultery, committest thou adultery? abhorring images, committest thou sacrilege? ²³ Thou who boastest in the law, by transgression of the law dishonourest thou God?

¹⁰ For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, those by the law, were energetic in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

⁷ What then shall we say? The law sin? It may not be. But I knew not sin except by the law: for I knew not lust, if the law said not, Thou shalt not eagerly desire.

¹² Therefore truly the law holy, and the command holy, and just, and good. ¹³ Was then good death to me? It may not be. But sin, that it might appear sin, by the good working death in me; that sin might be sinful to excess by the command.

¹³ Was then good death to me? It may not be. But sin, that it might appear sin, by the good working death in me; that sin might be sinful to excess by the command.

²³ And I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and taking me captive to the law of sin being in my members.

⁷ Wherefore the thought of the flesh enmity to God: for it is not subject to the law of God, for it cannot be.

¹⁷ For the writing says to Pharaoh, That for this same have I raised thee up, so that I might show in thee my power, and so that my name might be announced in all the earth.

²⁰ Surely, O man, who art thou replying against God? Shall the formation say to him having formed, Why hest thou made me so

³ For not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not been subjected to the justice of God.

³ Let not him eating despise him not eating: and let not him not eating judge him eating: for God has received him. ⁴ Who art thou judging another's servant? to his own lord he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand: for God is powerful to make him stand.

⁴ Who art thou judging another's servant? to his own lord he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand: for God is powerful to make him stand.

¹⁰ And why judgest thou thy brother? or why also despisest thou thy brother? for we shall all stand at the judgment seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it has been written, I live, says the Lord, for to me shall every knee bend, and every tongue acknowledge to God.

¹¹ For it has been written, I live, says the Lord, for to me shall every knee bend, and every tongue acknowledge to God. ¹² So therefore shall each of us give word for himself to God. ¹³ Then let us no more judge one another: but rather judge ye this, not to put a stumble or offence to thy brother.

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

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.

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.

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.

⁶ Your boasting not good. Know ye not that a little leaven may leaven the whole mixture?

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

³⁰ And they weeping, as not weeping; and they rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and they buying, as not possessing.

⁷ For I will not see you now in coming forward; but I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord permit.

¹⁶ And what agreement to the temple of God with images? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God said, That I will dwell in them, and will go round about; and will be their God, and they shall be a people to me.

¹ Therefore having these declarations, dearly let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

¹⁰ For grief according to God works repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but grief of the world works death. ¹¹ For behold, this same that ye grieve according to God, what care it wrought in you, but defence, but indignation, but fear, but anxious desire, but zeal, but punishing! In every thing ye recommended yourselves to be holy in this affair.

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:

¹⁰ For now do I persuade men, or God? or seek I to please men? for if I had yet pleased men, I should not have been the servant of Christ.

⁸ And the writing, foreseeing that of faith God justifies the nations, announced beforehand the good news to Abraham, That in thee shall all nations be praised.

¹⁷ For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are adverse to one another: that not the things ye would, these should ye do.

²⁷ Neither give place to the accuser.

³¹ Let all harshness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and slander, be put away from you, with all badness:

²¹ Yielding obedience to one another in the fear of God.

¹¹ Put on the complete armor of God, for you to be able to stand against the artifices of the accuser. ¹² For the wrestling is not to us against blood and flesh, but against beginnings, against powers, against the chiefs of the world of darkness of this life, against spiritual things of wickedness in heavenly things.

⁵ Therefore kill your members that are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

⁸ I will therefore men shall pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without anger and reasoning.

¹¹ Wives also grave, not accusers, sober, faithful in all things.

⁴ He has been proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and disputes of words, of which is envy, strife, slanders, evil conjectures, ⁵ Unprofitable occupations of men corrupted in mind, and deprived of the truth, thinking gain to be devotion: be separated from such. ⁶ But devotion with contentment is great gain. ⁷ For we brought nothing into the world, it is manifest that neither are we able to carry anything out. ⁸ And having sustenance and covering, with these let us be contented. ⁹ And they wishing to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many eager desires, unwise and hurtful, which sink men into ruin and perdition. ¹⁰ For the root of all evils is the love of money: which some striving for, have been led astray from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many pains.

³ Devoid of natural affection, not observing treaties, accusers, ungoverned, wild, not loving the good,

³ The aged women likewise, becoming holy in a serene state of mind, not accusers, not slaves to much wine, teachers of good;

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.

⁹ And foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and conflicts pertaining to the law, avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.

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

¹⁹ (For the law completed nothing,) but the bringing in of a better hope; by which we draw near to God.

²⁵ Wherefore he is able to save entirely those coming to God by him, always living to supplicate for them.

²² Let us approach with a true heart in complete certainty of faith, having our hearts besprinkled from an evil consciousness, and having our bodies washed with pure water.

⁹ Since we truly have fathers of our flesh instructors, and we were influenced: shall we not rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and we shall live?

⁵ If any of you is forsaken of wisdom, let him ask of God, giving to all plainly, blaming not; and it shall be given him. ⁶ And let him ask in faith, being at variance in nothing. For he being at variance is like the surge of the sea being moved by the wind and put in motion. ⁷ For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. ⁸ A man divided in opinion unsteady in all his ways.

¹⁰ And the rich, in his humiliation: for as the flower of the grass he shall pass by.

¹⁴ And each is tempted from his own lust, being drawn out, and decoyed.

²² And be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. ²³ For if any is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man observing the face of his creation in a mirror:

²⁵ And he having stooped into the perfect law of liberty, and remained, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work, he shall be happy in his doing.

²⁷ Religion pure and unpolluted before God and the Father is this, To take a view of the orphans and widows in their pressure, to keep himself free from stain from the world.

¹⁴ And if ye have bitter envy and intrigue in your heart, boast not, and lie not against the truth.

¹⁴ And if ye have bitter envy and intrigue in your heart, boast not, and lie not against the truth. ¹⁵ This is wisdom coming not down from above, but earthly, natural, resembling an evil spirit. ¹⁶ For where envy and intrigue, there confusion and every bad deed. ¹⁷ And the wisdom from above is truly first pure, then peaceful, decorous, docile, full of mercy and good fruits, not separated, and unfeigned. ¹⁸ And the fruit of justice is sown in peace by those making peace.

¹ Whence wars and fights among you? are they not hence, out of your sensual pleasures making war in your members

³ Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask wickedly that ye might expend upon your sensual pleasures.

⁶ And he gives greater grace. Wherefore he says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. ⁷ Be subjected therefore to God. Resist the accuser, and he will flee from you.

¹ Come on now, ye rich, weep, uttering loud cries of grief for the misfortunes coming upon you.

¹ Come on now, ye rich, weep, uttering loud cries of grief for the misfortunes coming upon you.

¹ Come on now, ye rich, weep, uttering loud cries of grief for the misfortunes coming upon you. ² Your riches have become corrupted, and your garments have been moth eaten;

² Your riches have become corrupted, and your garments have been moth eaten; ³ Your gold and silver is become rusty; and their rust shall be for a witness to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have gathered up treasures in the last days. ⁴ Behold, the hire of laborers having reaped your farms, withheld by you, cries out, and the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. ⁵ Ye have led a luxurious life upon the earth, and have rioted in luxury; ye have nourished your hearts, as in the day of slaughter.

⁹ Groan not against one another, brethren, that ye be not condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.

¹⁴ As children of obedience, not as formerly conforming yourselves to eager desire in your ignorance:

²² Having purified your souls in the hearing of the truth by the Spirit to unfeigned brotherly love, out of pure hearts love ye one another cordially:

²⁴ For all flesh as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass dried up, and the flower fell out:

¹ Therefore setting aside all wickedness, and all artifice, and dissimulation; and envies, and all calumnies,

¹¹ Dearly beloved, I beseech as sojourners and strangers, to keep off from fleshly passions, which war against the soul;

¹³ Be subjected to every creation proceeding from man on account of the Lord: whether to the king, as having superiority;

²¹ By which also the figure, immersion, now saves us (not by laying aside of the filth of the flesh, but the question of a good. consciousness toward God,) by the rising up of Jesus Christ:

² That no more to the eager desires of men, but to the will of God, should he live the remaining time in the flesh. ³ For the time of life passed over sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the nations, having gone in licentiousness, eager desires, drunkenness, revellings, drinkings, and criminal idolatries:

⁷ And the end of all has drawn near: be ye therefore of sound mind, and live abstemiously in prayers.

⁵ Likewise, ye younger, be subjected to the elders. And all being subject to one another, be wrapped up in humility: for God opposes the proud, and gives grace to the humble. ⁶ Therefore be humbled under the strong hand of God, that he might lift you up) in due measure:

⁸ Be abstemious, watch; for your adversary the accuser, as a roaring lion, walks around, seeking whom he might swallow down: ⁹ Whom resist firm in the faith, knowing that the same of sufferings are completed by your brotherhood in the world.

¹⁸ For speaking excessive things of vanity, they decoy with the eager desires of the flesh, for licentiousness, them having truly escaped from those turned back in error.

²¹ For it was better for them not to have known the way of justice, than, having known, to turn back from the holy command delivererd to them.

³ Knowing this first, that in the last of the days shall mockers come for deceiving, going according to their own eager desires,

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For every thing which in the world, the eager desire of the flesh, and the eager desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

¹⁶ For every thing which in the world, the eager desire of the flesh, and the eager desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world passes away, and its eager desires: but he doing the will of God remains for ever.

¹⁷ And the world passes away, and its eager desires: but he doing the will of God remains for ever.

³ And every one having this hope in him purifies himself, as he himself is pure.

²² And whatever we ask, we receive of him, for we keep his commands, and do things pleasing before him.

¹⁴ And this is the freedom of speech which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us:

¹⁶ These are murmurers, discontented, going according to their eager desires; and their mouth speaks exceeding bulky things, admiring faces on account of advantage. ¹⁷ And ye, dearly beloved, remember the words spoken before by the sent of our Lord Jesus Christ; ¹⁸ For they said to you that in the last time shall be deceivers, going according to the eager desires of their impieties.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, he deceiving the whole habitable globe: he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying in heaven, Now was salvation and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ for the accuser of our brethren was cast down, he accusing them before our God, day and night. ¹¹ And they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their souls till death.

⁷ As much as she glorified herself, and led an insolent life, give her so much torture and grief: for in her heart she says, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and I should see no grief.

⁷ As much as she glorified herself, and led an insolent life, give her so much torture and grief: for in her heart she says, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and I should see no grief. ⁸ Therefore in one day shall her blows come, death, and grief, and famine; and she shall be burned down in fire: for strong the Lord God judging her.
