²⁴ That is why God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:

²⁶ Therefore God has given them up to vile passions: for even their women have changed the natural use of their sex into that which is unnatural: ²⁷ And likewise also their men have left the natural use of the women and have run wild with lust toward one another, male with male committing shameful acts, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error.

³ For what if some had not believed, could their unbelief nullify the faith of God? ⁴ Far be it: only God is true and no man is wholly perfect; as it is written, That you may be justified by your words, and triumph when you are judged.

²⁶ By the opportunity which God has given us through his forbearance, for the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time, that he might be declared righteous; and for the justification of righteousness to him who is in the faith of our LORD Jesus Christ. ²⁷ Where is boasting then? It is worthless. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith. ²⁸ Therefore we conclude that it is by faith a man is justified and not by the works of the law. ²⁹ Why? Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also God of the Gentiles? Yes, he is God of the Gentiles also; ³⁰ Because it is one God, who justifies the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision by the same faith. ³¹ Why, then? Do we nullify the law through faith? Far be it: on the contrary, we uphold the law.

⁵ And to him who works not, but only believes in him who justifies sinners, his faith is counted for righteousness.

¹ THEREFORE, being justified by faith, let us have peace with God through our LORD Jesus Christ;

⁹ Much more then, being justified by his blood, we shall be delivered from wrath through him.

² Far be it. How shall we who are dead to sin, continue to live in it?

⁴ Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death: so that as Jesus Christ arose from the dead by the glory of his Father, even so we also shall walk in a new life. ⁵ For if we have been planted together with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also in the likeness of his resurrection: ⁶ For we know, that our old selves are crucified with him, so that the sinful body might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. ⁷ For he that is dead is freed from sin. ⁸ Now if we are dead with Christ, let us believe that we shall also live with Christ:

¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof.

¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof. ¹³ Neither should you yield your members as instruments of iniquity to sin: but yield yourselves to God, just as if you were men who had risen from among the dead, and let your members be instruments of righteousness to God.

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? Far be it.

¹⁷ But thank God that you, who were once the servants of sin, now obey from the heart that form of doctrine which has been delivered to you. ¹⁸ Now, being made free from sin, you become the servants of righteousness. ¹⁹ I speak after the manner of men because of the weakness of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members to the servitude of uncleanness and iniquity, so now yield your members to the servitude of righteousness and holiness.

⁴ Wherefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that you might become anotherÆs, even to him who arose from the dead, so that you may bring forth fruit to God.

⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Far be it. I would not have known the meaning of sin, except by means of the law: for I would never have known the meaning of lust, except the law said, Thou shalt not covet.

¹³ Has then that which is good, become death to me? Far be it. But sin that is exposed as sin and works death in me for that which is good, will be the more condemned by means of the law. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am of the flesh enslaved to sin.

¹¹ And if the Spirit of Him who raised our LORD Jesus Christ from the dead dwells within you, so he who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells within you.

¹⁷ Recompense to no man evil for evil. But be careful to do good things before the presence of all men. ¹⁸ If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men. ¹⁹ Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is mine: I will execute justice for you, said the LORD. *

⁷ For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. ⁸ For whether we live, we live unto our LORD; and whether we die, we die unto our LORD: whether we live therefore, or die, we belong to our LORD. ⁹ For to this end even Christ both died and came back to life, and rose to be LORD both of the dead and living.

¹⁴ For I know, and I have confidence in the LORD Jesus, that nothing unclean comes from him: but to him who believes a thing to be unclean, to him only is it unclean. ¹⁵ But now if you have caused your brother to grieve on account of meat, then you are not living in harmony. Do not make food a cause to destroy a man for whose sake Christ died. ¹⁶ Let not our blessings be a reproach to any one: ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and is approved by men. ¹⁹ Now let us strive after peace, and help one another. ²⁰ And let us not, because of food, destroy the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is wrong for the man who eats with offence. ²¹ It is better that we neither eat meat nor drink wine nor do any other thing whereby we cause our brother to stumble. ²² You who have a certain belief, keep it to yourself, before God. Blessed is he who does not condemn himself by doing those things which he believes to be wrong. ²³ For he who is doubtful and eats, violates his beliefs: for whatever is not of faith, is sin. The strong must help the weak.

² Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, the invited and holy ones who are sanctified by Jesus Christ, and to all of them in every place who invoke the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:

³⁰ But you also belong to God through Jesus Christ who, from God, is wisdom and righteousness and sanctification, and salvation to all of us.

¹⁶ Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. Whoever among you thinks he is wise in this world, let him consider himself a fool so that he may become wise.

¹⁰ We are fools for ChristÆs sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are praised, but we are despised.

¹⁴ I do not write these things to make you feel ashamed, but to advise you as beloved children.

¹ IT is reported that immorality is com mon among you, and such immorality as is not known among pagans, that even a son should marry his fatherÆs wife. *

¹⁰ I do not mean that you should separate completely from all the immoral people of this world, or from the fraudulent and extortioners, or from idolaters; otherwise you would be obliged to leave this world. ¹¹ Now what I have written to you is this: you are not to associate with any person who is known as a brother and yet is immoral or fraudulent or an idolater or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner; with such a person you must not break bread. ¹² For what business have I to judge those who are outside the church? But you may judge those who are within the church.

¹ WOULD any of you, having a lawsuit against his brother, dare to go to trial before the wicked rather than before the saints? ² Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is to be judged by you, are you not worthy to judge small affairs? ³ Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more then should we judge those who belong to this world? ⁴ You have worldly affairs to be settled, and yet you have put men of bad reputation in the church on the judgment seat.

⁶ But brother goes to court against brother, and at that before unbelievers. ⁷ Now therefore you are already at fault because you go to court one with another. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather let yourselves be defrauded?

⁷ Now therefore you are already at fault because you go to court one with another. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather let yourselves be defrauded?

⁹ Do you not know that the wicked shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not misled: neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the corrupt, nor men who lie down with males, ¹⁰ Nor extortioners, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor grafters, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹³ Food is for the belly, and the belly for food: but God will do away with both of them. Now the body is not meant for fornication, but for our LORD; and our LORD for the body.

¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? How then can one take a member of Christ and make it the member of a harlot? Far be it.

¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? How then can one take a member of Christ and make it the member of a harlot? Far be it. ¹⁶ Or do you not know that he who joins his body to a harlot is one body with her? For it is said, The two shall become one body.

¹⁹ Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit that dwells within you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?

²³ You have been bought with a price; you must not therefore become slaves of men.

⁴ As concerning the eating of the food offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

⁷ Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with clear conscience eat that which has been offered to idols as a sacrifice; and their conscience being weak is defiled. ⁸ But meat does not bring us closer to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither if we do not eat, are we the worse. ⁹ But be careful lest this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak. ¹⁰ For if any one should see you, who has knowledge, at table in the temple of idols, shall not the conscience of him who is weak encourage him to eat that which is sacrificed to idols? ¹¹ So the one who is weak and for whom Christ died will be lost through your indifference. ¹² And if you offend your brothers, and so influence their weak conscience, you also offend Christ. ¹³ Therefore if meat causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat, so that I may not cause my brother to offend.

¹² If others have this authority over you, have we not the more right? Nevertheless we have not used this authority; but we have endured all things so that we would not hinder the gospel of Christ.

²⁴ Do you not know that the runners in a race, all run, but only one is victorious? So you must run, that you may obtain victory.

²⁷ But I conquer and subdue my body so that, by no chance, when I have preached to others, will I despise myself.

³ And all ate the same spiritual food; ⁴ And all drank the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. ⁵ But with many of them God was not well pleased; for they were smitten in the wilderness.

²³ Everything is lawful for me, but not everything is expedient: everything is lawful for me, but everything does not edify. ²⁴ But let no man seek for himself alone, but let every man seek for his neighbor also. ²⁵ Anything for sale in the market place, that eat without question for conscience sake: ²⁶ For the earth is the LORDÆs and the fulness thereof. ²⁷ If any pagan invite you, and you wish to go, whatever is set before you eat, without question for conscience sake. ²⁸ But if any man say to you, This meat has been offered as a sacrifice, then do not eat it for the sake of him who told you and for conscience sake. ²⁹ But the conscience of which I speak, is not yours, but the conscience of him who told you: for why is my liberty judged by another manÆs conscience? ³⁰ For if I by grace am made worthy why should I be reproached for that for which I give thanks? ³¹ Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God.

³¹ Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God. ³² Give no offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Syrians, nor to the church of God; ³³ Just as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.

³ But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the wife is her husband; and the head of Christ is God.

¹⁴ Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a disgrace to him?

² That once you were pagans, and without exception you were carried away by dumb idols.

¹³ For all of us are baptized by one Spirit into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and we have all received through the one Spirit.

²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and members in your respective places.

³³ For God is not a God of confusion but of peace, and he is in all churches of the saints.

¹⁵ And we are also found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ when he had not raised him. ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, then neither did Christ rise: ¹⁷ And if Christ did not rise, your belief is in vain; and you are yet in your sins. ¹⁸ And also, then, those who have died in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, then we are of all men most miserable. ²⁰ But now we know Christ is risen from the dead and become the first-fruits of those who have died.

²³ But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they who belong to Christ at his coming.

³³ Do not be deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. ³⁴ Awake your hearts to righteousness and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I say this to your shame.

⁵⁰ Now this I say, my brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

¹ NOW concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, likewise do you also.

¹⁵ I beseech you, my brethren, concerning the household of Stephanas, for you know that they were the first converts from AchaÆia and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints,

¹⁴ Knowing that he who raised our LORD Jesus shall raise us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁸ We do not rejoice in the things which are seen, but in the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

¹⁵ And that he died for all, that those who live may not henceforth live for themselves, but for him who died and rose for them.

¹⁴ Do not unite in marriage with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity? Or what mingling has light with darkness?

¹⁶ Or what harmony has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God; as it is said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

² For I am zealous for you with the zealousness of God, for I have espoused you to a husband, that I may present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

²¹ Perhaps when I come to you, my God will humble me, and I will mourn over many who have sinned, and who have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and lasciviousness which they have committed.

¹⁶ Know that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no human being be justified. ¹⁷ But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore our LORD Jesus Christ a minister of sin? Far be it.

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ: henceforth it is not I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life which now I live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

⁸ Because God knew in advance that the Gentiles would be declared righteous through faith, he first preached to Abraham, as it is said in the Holy Scripture, In you shall all the Gentiles be blessed.

¹¹ But that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, as it is written, The righteous shall live by faith.

¹³ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, by becoming accursed for our sakes: for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a cross:

²¹ Is the law then against the promises of God? Far be it: for if a law had been given, which could have wrought salvation, righteousness would truly have come as the result of the law.

²⁴ The law then was our pathfinder to bring us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.

¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are well-known, which are these: adultery, impurity, and lasciviousness, ²⁰ Idolatry, witchcraft, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, stubbornness, seditions, heresies, ²¹ Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and all like things: those who practice these things, as I have told you before and I say to you now, they shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²¹ Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and all like things: those who practice these things, as I have told you before and I say to you now, they shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, ²³ Meekness, self-control: there is no law against these.

¹⁴ But as for me, I have nothing on which to boast, except the cross of our LORD Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me and I am crucified unto the world.

¹⁹ And what is the exceeding greatness of his power in us as the result of the things we believe, according to the skill of his mighty power, ²⁰ Which he wrought through Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in heaven,

²² And has put all things under his feet, and made him, who is above all things, the head of the church, ²³ Which is his body, and confirmation of him who fulfills all things and every thing.

¹ AND he has quickened you also who were dead because of your sins and trespasses; ² In which you previously walked according to the worldly course of this world, and according to the will of the supreme ruler of the air, the spirit which is active in the children of disobedience. ³ In those very deeds in which we were also corrupted from the very beginning through the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the wills of the flesh and of the mind: thereby we became completely the children of wrath, even as others.

²¹ And through him the whole building is fashioned and grows into a holy temple through the help of the LORD: ²² You also are builded by him for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

³ Endeavoring to preserve the harmony of the Spirit in the bond of peace, ⁴ That you may become one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;

¹² For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

¹⁵ But that we be sincere in our love, so that in everything we may progress through Christ, who is the head. ¹⁶ It is through him that the whole body is closely and firmly united at all joints, according to the measure of the gift which is given to every member, for the guidance and control of the body, in order to complete the edifying of the body in love. ¹⁷ This I say therefore and testify in the LORD: that you henceforth live not as other Gentiles, who live in the vanity of their mind, ¹⁸ And whose understanding is dark, and who are alienated from the life of God, because they have no knowledge, and because of the blindness of their hearts; ¹⁹ And who have given up their hope, and have surrendered themselves to wantonness, and to the practice of all uncleanness in their covetousness. ²⁰ But that is not what you have been taught about Christ; ²¹ If you have truly heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is found in Jesus: ²² That you lay aside all your former practices, that is to say, the old man which is degenerated with deceitful lusts;

²⁸ From henceforth let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor with his hands and do good deeds, that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

³ But let not immorality or any uncleanness or covetousness be heard of among you, as becomes saints; ⁴ Neither cursing, nor foolish words, nor insults, nor words of flattery, none of which are necessary: but instead of these, let thanks be offered. ⁵ You should know this: that no one guilty of fornication, or unclean person, or covetous man who serves idols, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

⁸ For previously you were ignorant, but now you have been enlightened by our LORD, and should live therefore like children of light.

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of its body.

²⁶ That he might sanctify and cleanse it, by the washing of water and by the word,

³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

²⁰ Just as it is my earnest hope and expectation that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but that openly as always, so also now will Christ be magnified through my body, whether in life or death.

⁵ Reason this within you which Jesus Christ also reasoned,

¹⁴ Do all things without disputing, and doubting: ¹⁵ That you may be sincere and blameless, like the innocent children of God, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world:

¹⁰ So that through this righteousness I may know Jesus and the power of his resurrection, and be a partaker of his sufferings, even to a death like his; ¹¹ That I may by any means attain the resurrection from the dead.

²¹ Who shall transform our poor body, to the likeness of his glorious body, according to his mighty power, whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

¹⁹ That very person does not uphold the Head by which the whole body is constructed and stands with the joints and members; and grows through the discipline of God.

²² For these things are customs which are changeable and they are the commandments and doctrines of men. ²³ And it appears there is some word of wisdom in these things when presented by the humble person in fear of God; provided they disregard the things of the flesh, not those things which are honourable but only those things which satisfy the pleasure of the flesh.

⁵ Mortify therefore your earthly members: immorality, uncleanness, intemperate desires, evil lusts, and covetousness, for these are idolatry;

⁵ Mortify therefore your earthly members: immorality, uncleanness, intemperate desires, evil lusts, and covetousness, for these are idolatry; ⁶ And it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. ⁷ In the past you also lived among these things, and you were perverted by them.

²⁵ But the wrongdoer shall be rewarded according to the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.

¹³ And may he strengthen your hearts to be without blemish in holiness before God our Father, at the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ with all his saints.

³ For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication:

³ For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication: ⁴ That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; ⁵ And not through the passion of lust, even as the rest of the Gentiles who know not God:

⁵ And not through the passion of lust, even as the rest of the Gentiles who know not God: ⁶ And that no man overreach to transgress and defraud his brother in this matter; because our LORD is the avenger of all such, as we have also forewarned you and testified.

⁶ And that no man overreach to transgress and defraud his brother in this matter; because our LORD is the avenger of all such, as we have also forewarned you and testified. ⁷ For God has not called you unto uncleanness but unto holiness.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who have died in Jesus, God will bring with him.

¹⁵ See that none of you render evil for evil; but always follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, my brethren beloved of our LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through holiness of the Spirit and through a true faith:

⁹ Not because we did not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you to follow us.

⁹ Knowing this, that the law is not made for the righteous, but for the wicked and rebellious, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for the profane and unholy, for those who abuse their fathers and ill-treat their mothers, for murderers, ¹⁰ For whoremongers, for those who defile themselves with mankind, for kidnappers of well-born sons, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine;

⁴ No man can be a soldier, and also entangle himself with the things of this life; if he would please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.

²² Keep away from all the lusts of youth: and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on our LORD with a pure heart.

¹⁰ For DeÆmas has forsaken me, having loved this world, and has gone to Thes-salo- niÆca; CresÆcens to Ga-laÆtia; Titus to DalmaÆtia.

¹⁴ Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might purify us to be his own, a new people, zealous of good works.

³ For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, misled, and serving divers lusts and passions, living in malice and envy, hated, and also hating one another. ⁴ But after the goodness and kindness of God our Saviour was manifested, ⁵ Not so much by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ Which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour, ⁷ That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs to the hope of eternal life.

¹¹ For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all of one origin: for this reason he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

¹² And he did not enter with the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered in once into the holy place, and obtained for us everlasting redemption.

²² Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled and cleansed of evil thought, and our bodies washed with pure water.

³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, for she had received the spies in peace.

¹⁴ Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see our LORD. ¹⁵ Take heed lest any man among you be found short of the grace of God; or lest any root of bitterness spring forth and harm you, and thereby many be defiled; ¹⁶ Or lest any man among you be found immoral and weak like Esau, who sold his birthright for a morsel of meat.

¹⁶ Or lest any man among you be found immoral and weak like Esau, who sold his birthright for a morsel of meat.

⁴ Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge those who practice vice and adultery;

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally and with grace; and it shall be given him.

¹⁶ Do not err, my beloved brethren.

²¹ Was not our father Abraham justified by works, when he raised Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² You can see, how his faith helped his works, and how by works his faith was made perfect. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled which said, Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. ²⁴ You see then, how a man by works becomes righteous, and not by faith only. ²⁵ Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot, justified by works, when she welcomed the spies, and sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

¹³ Who is wise among you and has training? let him prove his words by his good deeds, in the humbleness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter envying among you, or strife in your hearts, do not boast and do not lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom does not come from above, but it is earthly, sensual, devilish. ¹⁶ For wherever envy and strife are, there is confusion and every sort of evil. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure then full of peace, and gentle, obedient, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by the peacemakers.

¹ FROM whence come conflicts and quarrels among you? Is it not from the lusts that war in your members? ² You covet, and do not obtain; you kill and envy, but you cannot possess; you strive and fight, yet you have nothing, because you do not ask. ³ You ask and you do not receive because you do not ask sincerely, you ask that you may satisfy your lusts.

⁴ Behold, the wage of the labourers, who have reaped down your fields, that which you have fraudulently kept back, cries: and the cry of the reapers has already entered into the ears of the LORD of sabaoth.

² Who have been chosen by the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to be obedient and to sprinkle the blood of our LORD Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace, be multiplied.

¹⁸ Knowing that you have not been redeemed from your empty works which you have received from your fathers by corruptible silver and gold;

²² Let your souls be sanctified by obedience to the truth, and be filled with sincere love, so that you may love one another with pure and perfect hearts:

⁵ You also, as living stones, build up yourselves and become spiritual temples and holy priests to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

⁹ But you are a chosen people; ministers to the kingdom, a holy people, a congregation redeemed to proclaim the glories of him who has called you out of darkness to his marvelous light:

¹¹ Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from carnal desires, which war against the soul;

¹⁹ For such men have favor before God; because of a good conscience they endure sorrows which come upon them unjustly. ²⁰ What praise have they who endure suffering because of their faults? But when you do good, and are made to suffer, and you take it patiently, then your glory is greater with God. ²¹ For to this purpose you were called: because Christ also died for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow in his footsteps. ²² Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ²³ Who, wen he was reviled, he did not revile again: when he suffered he did not threaten, but committed his cause to him who judges righteously:

⁹ Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but instead of these, render blessing; for to this end you have been called, that you may inherit a blessing.

²¹ You also are saved in that very manner by baptism, not merely by washing the filth from the body, but by confessing God with a clean conscience, and by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

² That he should no longer live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. ³ For the time past sufficed to have wrought the will of the pagans when you lived in lasciviousness, drunkenness, revellings, indecent singing, and worship of idols.

¹⁵ But let none of you suffer the fate of a murderer, or a thief, or a malefactor.

¹ BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the LORD who has redeemed them, and thus bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

⁴ God did not spare the angels, who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for tormenting judgment;

⁹ He who says he is in the light but hates his brother, is therefore in darkness even until now. ¹⁰ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for displeasure in him. ¹¹ But he who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the body, and the covetousness of the eyes, and the pride of material things; does not come from the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he who does the will of God abides forever.

¹¹ For this is the commandment that you have heard from the beginning, that you must love one another, ¹² Not as Cain, who belonged to the wicked one and slew his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own works were evil, and those of his brother were righteous. ¹³ So be not surprised, my brethren, if the world hates you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. ¹⁵ Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

⁶ And the angels that did not keep their first estate but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

¹² These people are those who lead a wasteful, feasting life and are blemished; they do not shepherd themselves in reverence; they are clouds without rain, driven by winds; trees whose blossoms have withered, without fruit; having died a second time, pulled up by the roots;

¹⁴ And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD cometh with ten thousands of his saints, ¹⁵ To execute judgment upon all, and to punish all who are ungodly for all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and for all the harsh words which the ungodly sinners have spoken. *

⁵ And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first to arise from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth unto him who loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

²⁶ And he who overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him I will give authority over the nations: ²⁷ And he shall shepherd them with a rod of iron; like the vessels of the potter, they shall be shattered: even as I was disciplined by my Father.

²¹ To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on my throne, even as I also overcame, and have sat down with my Father on his throne.

⁹ And they sang new praise saying. You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

¹⁴ And I said to him, My LORD, you know. And he said to me, These are those who came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them: and the souls of those who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the wild beast, neither his image, nor had received his mark upon their foreheads or on their hand, lived and reigned with their Christ these thousand years. * But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.

⁸ But as for the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the sinful, and the abominable, and murderers, and those who commit adultery, and the magicians, and the idolators, and all liars, their portion shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

¹⁵ For without are the vicious, and magicians, and the immoral, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves to tell lies.
