¹⁷ Correct thy son and he shall cause thee to rest, and he shall give delight to thy soul.

¹¹ A generation will curse its father, and will not bless its mother.

¹⁷ The eye shall mock to his father, and despise to obey the mother, the ravens of the valley shall bore it out and the sons of the eagle shall eat it

⁵ Lest he shall drink and forget what is prescribed, and change the judgment of all the sons of affliction. ⁶ Ye shall give strong drink to him perishing, and wine to the bitter of soul ⁷ He shall drink and forget his poverty, and shall no more remember his toil.

² Vanity of vanities, said the preacher; vanity of vanities, all vanity.

¹⁹ And who shall know whether he shall be wise or foolish? And he shall have dominion over all my labor which I labored, and was wise under the sun. Also this is vanity.

⁷ For in the multitude of dreams, and vanities, and many words: but fear thou God.

¹³ There is an evil making sick I saw under the sun: riches watched to its owners for their evil. ¹⁴ And those riches shall perish by evil labor: and he begetting a son, and not anything in his hand.

²⁶ And I find bitter above death the woman that her heart it is snares and nets, her hands are bonds: the good one before God shall escape from her, and he sinning shall be taken by her.

⁸ He digging a ditch shall fall into it; he breaking down a wall, a serpent shall bite him.

⁸ Vanity of vanities, said the preacher; all is vanity.

¹³ We will hear the end of all the word: Fear thou God, and watch his commands: for this is all man. ¹⁴ For God will bring every work into judgment, with every thing hidden, whether good, and whether evil.

¹¹ Wo to those rising early in the morning, they will follow strong drink; remaining in the evening, wine will inflame them.

²¹ Wo to the wise in their eyes, and knowing before their face. ²² Wo to the strong to drink wine, and men of strength to mix strong drink:

¹³ And behold, gladness and joy, killing cattle and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: eat and drink, for to-morrow we shall die.

¹ O to the crown of pride, wo to the hirelings of Ephraim! a flower falling away is the glory of his beauty which is upon the head of the valley of fatness of those smitten with wine. ² Behold, a strong and active one to Jehovah, as a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, as a storm of vast waters overflowing, let fall to the earth with the hand. ³ With the feet shall the crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, be trodden down.

³ With the feet shall the crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, be trodden down.

⁷ And these also went astray by wine, and by strong drink they erred; the priest and the prophet went astray by strong drink, they were swallowed up from wine, they erred from strong drink, they went astray in seeing, they wavered in judgment. ⁸ For all tables were full of vomit, of filth without place.

²¹ And they will be silent and not answer him a word: for this the command of the king, saying, Ye shall not answer.

¹ Ho, every one thirsting, Come ye to the waters, and whom there is not to him silver, come ye, buy and eat; and come ye, and buy without silver and without price, wine and milk. ² Wherefore will ye weigh silver without bread? and your labour not for fulness? hearing, hear ye to me, and eat good, and your soul shall delight in fatness.

¹² Come ye, I will take wine, and we will drink strong drink to excess; and the morrow being as this day, the remainder great exceedingly.

⁵ They plundered vipers' eggs, and they will weave spiders webs: he eating from their eggs shall die, and being crushed, it shall break forth a viper.

² Lift up thine eyes upon the naked hills and see where thou wert not lain with. Upon the ways thou didst sit for them as the ravens in the desert; and thou wilt defile the land with thy fornications and with thine evil

³ O Jehovah, are not thine eyes upon faithfulness? thou didst smite them, and they were not pained; thou didst consume them, they refused to take instruction: they made their faces firm above the rock; they refused to turn back.

³¹ The prophets prophesied in falsehood, and the priests will spread out with their hands; and my people loved it thus: and what will ye do to its last part

⁵ For if making good, ye shall make good your ways and your doings; if doing, ye shall do judgment between man and between his neighbor;

¹⁷ For behold me sending serpents, vipers among you, which to them no hissing, and they bit you, says Jehovah.

³ Thus said Jehovah, Do ye judgment and justice, and deliver him taken by force, from the hand of him oppressing: ye shall not be violent, ye shall not oppress the stranger, the orphan, and the widow, and ye shall not pour but innocent blood in this place.

¹⁷ For thine eyes and thy heart not but for thy plunder and for guiltless blood to pour out, and for oppression and for running, to do.

¹¹ For I knew the purposes which I purposed concerning you, says Jehovah; purposes of peace, and not for evil, to give to you the last part and expectation.

¹⁸ Hearing, I heard Ephraim being thrust away: Thou didst correct me, and I shall be corrected as a calf not being taught: turn me back and I shall be turned back, for thou Jehovah my God.

⁴¹ And I rejoiced over them to do them good, and I planted them in this land in truth with all my heart and with all my soul

³³ Thus said Jehovah of armies: the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah being oppressed together: and all taking them captive held upon them; they refused to send them away. ³⁴ He redeeming them is strong; Jehovah of armies, his name: pleading, he will plead their cause, so that he caused the land to rest, and caused disquiet to the inhabitants of Babel.

³⁶ For this, thus said Jehovah: Behold me pleading thy cause, and I took vengeance with thy vengeance; and I dried up her sea, and made her fountains dry.

³¹ And they will come to thee, according to the coming of the people, and they will sit before thee my people, and they heard thy words, and they did them not: for they making loves with their mouth, their heart went after their plunder.

⁸ And Daniel will set up upon his heart that he will not be defiled with the dainties of the king, and with the wine of his drinking: and he will seek from the chief of the eunuchs that he shall not defile himself.

⁸ And Daniel will set up upon his heart that he will not be defiled with the dainties of the king, and with the wine of his drinking: and he will seek from the chief of the eunuchs that he shall not defile himself. ⁹ And God will give Daniel to mercy and compassion before the chiefs of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the chief of the eunuchs will say to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who allotted your food and your drink: for wherefore shall he see your faces gloomy above the children as of your age? and make my head guilty to the King

⁴ They drank wine, and praised to the gods of gold and silver, brass, iron, wood and stone.

²⁷ And they two kings, their heart for doing evil, and at one table they will speak falsehood; and it shall not prosper: for yet the end at the appointment

¹¹ Fornication and wine and new wine will take away the heart.

⁵ The day of our king the chiefs began anger from wine; stretching forth his hand with mockers.

⁹ Who being wise, and he shall understand these things? and knowing, and he shall know them? for the ways of Jehovah are straight, and the just shall go in them: and they transgressing shall be weak in them.

⁵ Awake, ye intoxicated, and weep; and wail, all ye drinking wine, on account of the new wine, for it was cut off from your mouth.

¹⁹ According as a man will flee from the face of the lion and the bear struck upon him, and he came into the house and leaned his hand upon the wall, and the serpent bit him.

⁶ Drinking wine in vases, and they will anoint with the chief of ointments: and they were not grieved for the breaking of Joseph.

³ And if they shall hide in the head of Carmel, from thence will I search and take them; and if they shall be concealed from before mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, from thence I will command the serpent, and he bit them.

¹⁰ For even to thorns surrounding them, and drinking to excess as drunkards, they shall be devoured as straw fully dried up.

¹⁷ Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee: the strong one will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will be silent in his love, he will exult over thee with rejoicing.

¹⁰ And the widow and the orphan, the stranger and the poor, ye shall not oppress; and ye shall not purpose evil in your heart a man to his brother.

⁵ And I came near to you for judgment: and I was a swift witness against those practicing magic, and against those committing adultery, and against those swearing to falsehood, and against those oppressing the hire of the hireling, the widow and the orphan, and those turning aside the stranger, and they feared not me, said Jehovah of armies.

²⁸ But I say to you, That every one seeing a woman, to eagerly desire her, has already committed adultery with her, in his heart. ²⁹ And if thine eye give thee cause of offence, take it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members be destroyed, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. ³⁰ And if thy right hand give thee cause of offence, cut it off, and cast from thee; for it is profitable to thee, that one of thy members should be destroyed; and not thy whole body should be cast into hell.

¹⁹ Treasure not up to you treasures upon earth, where moth and gnawing destroy, and thieves dig through and steal:

⁶ Ye should not give the holy thing to dogs neither should ye cast your pearls before swine, lest they tread them down with their feet, and having turned, should rend yon.

² And, behold, they brought him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Take courage, child thy sins are let go to thee. ³ And behold, certain of the scribes said in themselves, This defames. ⁴ And Jesus seeing their reflections, said, Why reflect ye within your hearts?

³⁷ He loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me; and he loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And whoever takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.

⁴⁴ Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a treasure hid in the field; which a man finding, concealed, and from his joy, he retires, and all things which he has he sells, and he purchases that field.

⁴⁶ Who, finding one pearl of great value, having departed, he sold all things which he had, and purchased it.

⁵² And he said to them, Therefore every scribe, having been a disciple in the kingdom of the heavens, is like to a man, master of a house, who casts out from his treasure new things and old.

⁴ For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, he calumniating father or mother, in death let him die. ⁵ And ye say, Whoever should say to father or mother, A gift, whatever thou shouldest be profited by me; ⁶ And should not honour his father or his mother. And ye have annulled the command of God by your tradition.

²⁶ For what is a man profited, if he should gain the whole world, and injure his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

⁸ And if thy hand or thy foot give thee cause of offence, cut them off, and cast from thee: it is good for thee to come into life lame or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire. ⁹ And if thine eye give thee cause of offence, take it out, and east from thee: it is good for thee, one-eyed, to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into a hell of fire.

¹⁵ Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my things? Or is thine eye evil because I am good

³⁸ For as they were in the days of the inundation, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noe came into the ark,

⁴⁹ And he should begin to strike the fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with those intoxicated;

⁴⁹ And he should begin to strike the fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with those intoxicated; ⁵⁰ The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not,

¹⁰ For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and he reviling father or mother, in death let him die:

²² Thefts, overreaching, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, defamation, pride, foolishness:

⁴⁷ And if thine eye offend thee, cast it out: it is good for thee, one eyed, to come into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into a hell of fire:

³¹ And, behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bear a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS. ³² He shall be great, and he shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father: ³³ And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

⁴⁰ And she entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth. ⁴¹ And it was when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: ⁴² And she called out with a great voice, and said, Praised thou among women, and praised the fruit of thy womb. ⁴³ And whence this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? ⁴⁴ For, behold, when the voice of thy greeting was in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. ⁴⁵ And happy she having believed: for a completion of the things spoken shall be to her from the Lord. ⁴⁶ And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord. ⁴⁷ And my Spirit rejoiced in God my Saviour.

⁵⁸ And they dwelling near and her kinsmen heard, for the Lord magnified his mercy with her; and they rejoiced with her.

³⁹ And the Pharisee having called him, seeing, said within himself, This, if he were a prophet, had known who and what race of woman which had touched him: for she is sinful.

²⁷ And it was in his speaking these things, a certain woman of the crowd, having lifted up the voice, said to him, Happy the womb having borne thee, and breasts thou didst suck. ²⁸ And he said, Rather, happy they hearing the word of God, and watching it.

³⁷ And in the speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him: and having come in he reclined. ³⁸ And the Pharisee having seen, wondered that he was not first washed before dinner. 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? ⁴¹ But of the things being, give alms; and, behold, all things are clean to you. ⁴² But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe spearmint and rue and every plant, and ye pass by the judgment and love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to have left those. ⁴³ Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seat in assemblies, and greetings in market-places. ⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as concealed tombs, and men walking above know not. ⁴⁵ And a certain of the skilled in the law having answered, said, Teacher, speaking these things, and thou injurest us. ⁴⁶ And he said, And woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye load men with loads difficult to carry, and ye yourselves touch not one of the fingers to the load. ⁴⁷ Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. ⁴⁸ Surely ye testify and assent to your fathers' works: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their tombs. ⁴⁹ And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out: ⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation; ⁵¹ From the blood of Abel even to the blood of Zacharias perishing between the altar and house: yea, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation. ⁵² Woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye came not in yourselves, and those coming in ye hindered. ⁵³ And he saying these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to hold on greatly, and to put questions to him of many things: ⁵⁴ Laying wait for him, and seeking to seize something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

⁴⁵ And if that servant should say in his heart, My Lord delays to come; and should begin to strike the servants and maids, also to eat and drink, and to be intoxicated; ⁴⁶ The lord of that servant shall come in a day which he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, and he will cut him in two equal parts, and set his portion with the unbelieving.

²⁶ If any come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and yet also his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

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.

²³ And having brought the fatted calf, sacrifice, and eating, let us be gladdened. ²⁴ For this my son was dead, and has returned to life; and he was lost, and found. And they began to be gladdened.

³² And to be gladdened, and to rejoice, was fitting: for this thy brother was dead, and has returned to life; and he was lost, and found.

¹⁴ And the Pharisees heard all these things, being avaricious: and they derided him.

¹⁹ A certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, being daily splendidly gladdened:

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.

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. ²⁶ And besides all these, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed: so that they wishing to pass through thence to you could not; neither could they cross over from thence to us.

²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day which Noe came into the ark, and the overflow came, and destroyed all. ²⁸ And likewise as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; ²⁹ And the day which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all.

³⁴ And attend to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be loaded with dizziness, caused by excess, and drunkenness, and cares of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly.

²⁷ Work not for food perishing, but food remaining to eternal life, which the Son of man will give you: for him God the Father sealed.

⁵² Then said the Jews to him, Now we have known that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, For in this is it wonderful, that ye know not whence he is, and he opened mine eyes. ³¹ And we know that God hears not the sinful: but if any be godly, and do his will, this he hears. ³² From forever was it not heard that any opened the eyes of him born blind. ³³ If this one were not of God, he could do nothing. ³⁴ They answered and said to him, In sins wert thou wholly born, and teachest thou us? And they cast him without.

⁴⁰ And they being with him of the Pharisees heard these things, and said to him,

²⁰ And many of them said, He has a demon, and is frenzied; why hear ye him?

¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed.

²⁶ Jesus then having seen the mother, and the disciple standing near, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! ²⁷ Then says he to the disciple, Behold thy mother And from that hour the disciple took her to his own.

⁵ Then says Jesus to them, Children, have ye nothing cooked to eat? They answered him, No.

³¹ Then truly the churches through the Whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria, had peace, being built up; and going in the fear of the Lord, and in the consolation of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied.

⁴⁵ And the Jews, having seen the crowds, were filled with envy, and spake against the things said by Paul, contradicting and defaming. ⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas speaking freely, said, To you was it first necessary for the word of God to be spoken: but since ye reject it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the nations.

¹⁸ And certain of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers deliberated with him. And certain said, What may this idle, talkative man wish to say? and others, He seems to be a declarer of strange demons: because he announced to them good news, and the rising up.

³² And having heard of the rising up of the dead, they treated with mockery; and said, We will hear thee again concerning this.

²³ But that the Holy Spirit testifies in the city, saying that bonds and pressures await me.

²⁵ And being at variance with one another, they were let go, Paul having said one word, That well spake the Holy Spirit by Esaias the prophet to our fathers, ²⁶ Saying, Go to this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and ye should not perceive: ²⁷ For the heart of this people was thickened, and with ears heard they heavily, and their eyes they closed; lest they should see with the eyes, and with ears should hear, and with the heart they should understand, and turn back, and I should heal them. ²⁸ Be it known to you therefore, that salvation of God was sent to the nations, and they shall hear.

²¹ Therefore what fruit had ye then of what ye are now ashamed? for the end of these, death.

²¹ Therefore what fruit had ye then of what ye are now ashamed? for the end of these, death. ²² And now freed from sin, and subdued to God, ye have your fruit to consecration, and the end life eternal.

²⁵ For I will not ye should not know, brethren, this mystery, lest ye be wise with yourselves; for hardness from part has been to Israel, till the filling up of the nations come in.

¹⁶ Thinking the same towards one another. Not thinking high things but being led by humble things. Be not wise with yourselves.

¹³ As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in revelries and drunkenness, not in coition and licentiousness, not in strife and envy.

²¹ For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was contented by the foolishness of proclaiming to save them believing. ²² And since the Jews ask a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom: ²³ And we proclaim Christ crucified, to the Jews truly a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; ²⁴ And to these the called, to both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and wisdom of God.

¹⁰ We foolish for Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we weak, and ye strong; ye honourable, and we dishonoured ¹¹ Until this present hour we also hunger, and thirst, and we are naked, and are cuffed, and are unsteady. ¹² And we are wearied, working with our own hands: being reviled, we praise; being driven out, we hold up ¹³ Being defamed, we entreat: as the filth of the world were we become, the offscouring of all until now.

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.

¹¹ And now I wrote to you not to mix together, if any called a brother is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or intoxicated, or rapacious; not to eat with such.

¹⁰ Nor thieves; nor covetous, nor intoxicated, nor railers, nor rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

²⁹ And this I say, brethren, the time is restricted; as to the rest, that they also having wives should be as not having; ³⁰ And they weeping, as not weeping; and they rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and they buying, as not possessing. ³¹ And they using this world, as not using; for the form of this world passes away.

²⁷ But I give my body a blow under the eyes, and reduce to bondage: lest having proclaimed to others, I myself be rejected.

⁸ Neither should we commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand.

³² And being judged, we are corrected of the Lord, lest we be condemned with the world.

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. ³³ Be not deceived: evil intercourses corrupt good habits. ³⁴ Recover your senses rightly, and in not; for some have a want of knowledge of God: I speak to your confusion.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ holds us together; having judged this, that if one died for all, then all dead: ¹⁵ And he died for all, that the living no more live to themselves, but o him having died for them, and having risen.

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

⁵ And not as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by the will of God.

²¹ Envyings, slaughters, drunkenness, revelries, and the like: to these which I foretell you, as I have also said before, that they doing such shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ For Christ to dwell by faith in your hearts; in love being rendered firm, and the foundation laid,

¹⁹ Who no longer having had feeling delivered themselves to licentiousness, to the work of all uncleanness in overreaching.

²² For you to put away according to the former mode of life the old man, corrupted according to the eager desires of deceit;

²⁹ Let not any foul word go out of your mouth, but if any good to the building of necessity, that it might give grace to them hearing.

⁴ And obscenity, and silly discourse, or wit, which things concern not; but rather thankfulness.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit;

¹ Children, listen to your parents in the Lord: for this is just. ² Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first command with solemn promise;)

²⁰ According to my anxious expectation, and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but in all freedom of speech, as always, and now shall Christ be Magnified in my body, whether by life, whether by death.

⁷ But what things were gain to me, these I have thought loss for Christ. ⁸ But surely, I also think all things to be loss for the superiority of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have been made to lose all things, and I think to be offscourings, that I shall gain Christ,

¹⁹ Whose end destruction, whose God the belly, and their glory in shame, having in mind earthly things.)

⁴ That I might manifest, as is fitting for me to speak.

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.

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;

² For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so comes. ³ For when they say, Peace and security; then sudden ruin is upon them, as anguish in her with child; and they may not escape. ⁴ And ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day as a thief overtake you. ⁵ Ye are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness. ⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as also the rest; but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For they sleeping sleep in the night; and they drunken are drunken in the night.

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.

¹⁷ To the rich now in this life, proclaim not to be highminded, nor to be hoping upon the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, offering us all things richly for profit;

⁹ By love I beseech rather, being such as Paul an aged man, and now also the imprisoned of Jesus Christ.

²⁰ Yea, brother, may I be profited by thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

³⁵ Throw not away therefore your freedom of speech, which has great payment of reward.

²⁶ Having deemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than treasures in Egypt: for he looked to the payment of reward.

⁵ The disposition exempt from avarice; being contented with present circumstances: for he has said, I will not send thee back, nor forsake thee.

²¹ Wherefore having put away all sordid avarice, and excess of wickedness, in meekness receive the implanted word, able to save your souls. 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: ²⁴ For he observed himself, and went away, and straightway forgot of what kind he was. 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.

² For in many things we all stumble. If any stumble not in word, this a perfect man, able to govern by a bridle also the whole body.

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;

¹⁷ And if ye call upon the Father, judging without distinction of persons according to the work of each, in fear be occupied in the time of your sojourning:

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: ⁴ In which they are astonished, you not running together in the same pouring out of lavish expense, blaspheming:

¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word more firm; which holding to, ye do well, as to a light shining in a dusty place, even till the day shine through, and the morning star spring up in your hearts:

²² And that of the true proverb has happened to them, The dog having turned back to his own vomit; and the sow having been washed to the rolling of the mire.

¹ My little children, I write these to you, that ye sin not. And if any sin, we have an intercessor with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:

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.

⁴ I was greatly rejoiced that I found of thy children walking about in the truth, as we received a command from the Father.

³ For I was greatly rejoiced, the brethren coming and testifying to thy truth, as thou walkest about in the truth. ⁴ I have no joy greater than these that I hear my children walking in truth.

¹² These are spots in your loves, feasting together fearlessly, taking care of themselves: clouds wanting water, carried about by winds; decayed trees, unfruitful, twice dead, uprooted;

¹² These are spots in your loves, feasting together fearlessly, taking care of themselves: clouds wanting water, carried about by winds; decayed trees, unfruitful, twice dead, uprooted; ¹³ Fierce waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom the obseurity of darkness has been kept forever.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy gold of me refined by fire, that thou mightest be rich; and white garments, that thou mightest be surrounded, and that the shame of thy nakedness might not be made manifest; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve that thou mightest see.

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.

¹ And one of the seven angels having the seven vials, came and spake with me, saying to me, Come; I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot sitting upon many waters: ² With whom the kings of the earth were debauched, and they dwelling upon the earth were intoxicated from the wine of her harlotry.
