Ephesians Cross References - Lamsa

¹ PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to those who are in EphÆe-sus, saints and believers in Jesus Christ: ² Peace be with you and grace from God our Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ: ³ Blessed be the God, and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heaven through Christ: ⁴ Just as from the beginning he has chosen us through him, before the foundation of the world, that we may become holy and without blemish before him. ⁵ And he marked us with his love to be his from the beginning, and adopted us to be sons through Jesus Christ, as it pleased his will. ⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace that he has poured upon us by his beloved one. ⁷ In him we have salvation, and in his blood, forgiveness of sins, according to the richness of his grace; ⁸ That that grace which has abounded in us, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ⁹ And because he has made known to us the mystery of his will, as he has ordained from the very beginning, to work through it; ¹⁰ As a dispensation of the fulness of times, that all things might be made new in heaven and on earth through Christ: ¹¹ By whom we have been chosen, as he had marked us from the beginning so he wanted to carry out everything according to the good judgment of his will: ¹² That we should become the first to trust in Christ, to his honor and his glory: ¹³ In whom, you also have heard the word of truth, which is the gospel for your salvation: in him you have believed, so you are sealed with the Holy Spirit that was promised, ¹⁴ Which is the pledge of our inheritance, for the salvation of those who are saved, and for the glory of his honour. ¹⁵ Wherefore I also, since I heard of your faith in our LORD Jesus Christ, and your love toward all the saints, ¹⁶ Never cease to give thanks for your sakes and to mention you in my prayers; ¹⁷ So that the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: ¹⁸ And so that the eyes of your understanding may be enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the glorious riches of his inheritance in the saints; 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, ²¹ Far above all angels and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in the world which is to come: 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.

He who remains with me and I with him, will bear abundant fruit; for without me you can do nothing.

¹ JESUS spoke these things, and then he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, O my Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you. ² Since you have given him power over all flesh, so that to all whom you have given him, he may give life eternal. ³ And this is life eternal, that they might know you, that you are the only true God, even the one who sent Jesus Christ.

³ And this is life eternal, that they might know you, that you are the only true God, even the one who sent Jesus Christ. ⁴ I have already glorified you on the earth; for the work which you had given to me to do, I have finished it. ⁵ So now, O my Father, glorify me with you, with the same glory which I had with you before the world was made.

²¹ So that they all may be one; just as you, my Father, art with me, and I am with you, that they also may be one with us; so that the world may believe you sent me.

²⁴ O Father, I wish that those whom you have given me, may also be with me where I am; so that they may see my glory which you have given me; for you have loved me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵ O my righteous Father, the world did not know you, but I have known you; and these have known that you have sent me. ²⁶ And I have made your name known to them, and I am still making it known; so that the love with which you loved me may be among them, and I be with them.

¹⁶ But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel: ¹⁷ It shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams: ¹⁸ And upon my servants and upon my maidservants will I pour out my spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy: ¹⁹ And I will show wonders in heaven, and signs on the earth; blood and fire and vapor of smoke: ²⁰ The sun shall be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and fearful day of the Lord shall come. ²¹ And it shall come to pass that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. ²² Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man of God, who appeared among you by miracles and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves know: ²³ The very one who was chosen for this purpose from the very beginning of knowledge and will of God, you have delivered into the hands of wicked men, and you have crucified and murdered him: ²⁴ Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible for the grave to hold him. ²⁵ For David said concerning him, I foresaw my Lord always, for he is on my right hand, so that I should not be shaken: ²⁶ Therefore my heart is comforted and my glory is exalted; even my body shall rest in hope: ²⁷ Because you will not leave my soul in the grave neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. ²⁸ You have revealed to me the way of life; you will fill me with joy with your presence. ²⁹ Now men and brethren, permit me to speak to you openly concerning Patriarch David, who is dead and buried and whose sepulchre is with us to this day. ³⁰ For he was a prophet, and he knew that God had sworn by an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up one to sit on his throne. ³¹ So he foresaw and spoke concerning the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in the grave, neither did his body see corruption. ³² This very Jesus, God has raised up, and we are all his witnesses. ³³ It is he who is exalted by the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, and has poured out gifts which you now see and hear.

³³ It is he who is exalted by the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, and has poured out gifts which you now see and hear. ³⁴ For David did not ascend into heaven, because he himself said, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, ³⁵ Until I make thy foes thy footstool. ³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this very Jesus whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

³⁸ Then Simon said to them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of the LORD Jesus for the remission of sins, so that you may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹ Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out when the times of tranquility shall come to you from before the presence of the LORD;

¹⁰ Then let it be known to you, and to all the people of Israel, By the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, and whom God raised from the dead, behold this man stands before you, healed.

¹² There is no salvation by any other man; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

²⁸ To execute whatever your hand and your will had previously decreed to take place.

⁴³ To him, all the prophets testified that whosoever believes in his name shall receive remission of sins.

³⁸ Be it known to you, therefore, brethren, that through this very one is preached to you the forgiveness of sins: ³⁹ And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

⁴⁸ And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified God; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

¹⁸ The works of God are known from the very beginning.

¹⁴ And a certain woman, named LydÆi-a, a seller of purple of the city of Thy-a-tiÆra, feared God; her heart was so touched by our LORD that she listened to what Paul said. ¹⁵ And she was baptized together with her household, and she begged us, saying, If you are sincerely convinced that I believe in our LORD, come and stay in my house; and she urged us strongly.

¹⁰ For I am with you, and no man can harm you: and I have many people in this city.

¹ AND it came to pass, that while ApolÆlos was at CorÆinth, Paul traveled through the northern countries and came to EphÆe-sus, and inquired of the disciples whom he found there, ² Have you received the Holy Spirit since you were converted? They answered and said to him, We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. ³ Then he said to them, By what baptism then were you baptized? They said, By the baptism of John. ⁴ Then said Paul, John verily baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying unto them that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, Jesus Christ. ⁵ When they heard these things, they were baptized in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ. ⁶ And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in divers tongues, and prophesied. ⁷ And there were in all twelve persons. ⁸ Then Paul entered into the synagogue, and spoke openly for a period of three months, persuading the people concerning the kingdom of God. ⁹ But some of them were stubborn, and they disputed and cursed the way of God in the presence of the assembly. Then Paul withdrew, and separated the disciples from them, and he spoke to them daily in the school of a man named Ty-ranÆus. ¹⁰ And this continued for two years until all who dwelt in Asia Minor, both Jews and Arameans (Syrians), heard the word of God. ¹¹ And God wrought great miracles by the hands of Paul: ¹² So that even when, of the clothes on his body, pieces of garments were brought and laid upon the sick, diseases were cured, and even the insane were restored. ¹³ Now certain Jews, who went about exorcising evil spirits, invoked the name of our LORD Jesus over those who were possessed, saying, We adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches. ¹⁴ And there were seven sons of one SceÆva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, who did this. ¹⁵ And the insane man answered and said to them, Jesus I recognize and Paul I know; but who are you? ¹⁶ Then the insane man leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so they fled out of that house naked and wounded. ¹⁷ And this became known to all the Jews and Arameans (Syrians) who dwelt at EphÆesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of our LORD Jesus Christ was magnified. ¹⁸ And many of them that believed came, and told their faults, and confessed what they had done. ¹⁹ Many magicians also gathered together their books and brought them and burned them before the presence of the people; and they counted the price of them, and it amounted to fifty thousand pieces of silver. ²⁰ So mightily grew the faith of God and greatly increased in numbers.

²⁷ For I have never shunned to declare to you, all the will of God. ²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed the church of Christ which he has purchased with his blood.

³² And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all the saints.

⁸ How can you judge? Is it improper to believe that God can raise the dead?

¹⁸ To open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, and receive forgiveness of sins, and a portion with the saints who are of the faith in me.

¹ PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, and chosen to proclaim the gospel of God

⁴ And who came to be known as the Son of God with power and with the Holy Spirit, because he arose from the dead, and he is Jesus Christ our LORD,

⁷ To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called and sanctified: Grace and peace be unto you from God our Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ. ⁸ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith has been heard of throughout the world. ⁹ For God, whom I serve in spirit in the gospel of his Son, is my witness that unceasingly I make mention of you in my prayers;

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes; whether they are Jews first, or Arameans (Syrians). *

²⁸ And as they did not consent in themselves to know God, God has given them over to a weak mind, to do the things which should not be done; as,

⁴ Do you stand against the riches of his goodness and forbearance, and the opportunity which he has given you, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

²² But the righteousness of God is by the faith of Jesus Christ to every one, also to every man who believes in him, for there is no discrimination: ²³ For all have sinned and are short of the glory of God: ²⁴ For they are freely bestowed righteousness by the grace of God through the salvation which is in Jesus Christ, *

²⁴ For they are freely bestowed righteousness by the grace of God through the salvation which is in Jesus Christ, * ²⁵ Whom God has foreordained to be a propitiation through faith in his blood for the remission of our sins that are past; 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.

⁶ Just as David also said about the blessedness of the man, whom God declared righteous without works, ⁷ Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are wiped away. ⁸ Blessed is the man whose sins God will not hold against him. ⁹ Now, therefore, is this blessedness on account of circumcision, or on account of uncircumcision? for we say that AbrahamÆs faith was accounted to him for righteousness.

¹¹ For he received circumcision as a sign and a seal of the righteousness of his faith while he was uncircumcised: that he might become the father of all them who believe, though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be given to them also;

⁴ And patience, experience; and experience, hope: ⁵ And hope causes no one to be ashamed; because the love of God is poured in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

¹⁵ But the measure of the gift of God was not the measure of the fall. If therefore, because of the fall of one, many died, how much more will the grace and gift of God, because of one man, Jesus Christ, be increased ?

¹⁵ But the measure of the gift of God was not the measure of the fall. If therefore, because of the fall of one, many died, how much more will the grace and gift of God, because of one man, Jesus Christ, be increased ? ¹⁶ And the effect of the gift of God was greater than the effect of the offence of Adam: for while the judgment from one manÆs offence resulted in condemnation of many, the gift of God in forgiveness of sins resulted in righteousness to many more. ¹⁷ For if by one manÆs offence, death reigned, how much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ In like manner as by one manÆs offence, condemnation came upon all men, even so by the righteousness of one man, will the victory unto life be to all men. ¹⁹ For as by one manÆs disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one man, shall many be made righteous. ²⁰ The introduction of the law caused sin to increase, and when sin had increased, grace became abundant. ²¹ Just as sin had reigned through death, so grace shall reign through righteousness unto eternal life by our LORD Jesus Christ.

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: ⁹ We know that Christ rose from the dead, and dies no more; and that death has no more dominion over him. ¹⁰ For in dying he died once to sin: and in living he lives to God. ¹¹ Likewise, you also must consider yourself as being dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our LORD.

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.

¹ THERE is therefore no condemnation to them who walk in the flesh after the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ Those who are led by the Spirit of God, are the sons of God. ¹⁵ For you have not received the spirit of bondage, to be in fear again; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Avon, Father, our Father. ¹⁶ And this Spirit bears witness to our spirit, that we are the children of God: ¹⁷ And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ; so that if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.

¹⁷ And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ; so that if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.

²³ And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is, the redemption of our bodies. ²⁴ For we live in hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for if we see it, why should we yet hope? ²⁵ But if we hope for that which we do not see, then do we wait for it in patience.

²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. ²⁹ He knew them in advance and he marked them with the likeness of the image of his Son that he might be the first-born among many brethren. ³⁰ Moreover, those he did mark in advance, he has called, and those he has called, he has declared righteous, and those he has declared righteous, he has glorified.

³³ Who is to complain against the chosen ones of God? It is God who justifies. ³⁴ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died and rose again, and he is at the right hand of God making intercession for us.

³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor empires, nor armies, nor things present, nor things to come, ³⁹ Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate me from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ our LORD.

¹¹ Before her children were born, or had done good or evil, the choice of God was made known in advance; that it might stand, not by means of works, but through him who made the choice. ¹² For it was said, The elder shall be the servant of the younger. ¹³ As it is written, Jacob have I loved but Esau have I hated. ¹⁴ What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Far be it. ¹⁵ For he said to Moses also, I will have mercy on him whom I love, and I will have compassion on him whom I favor. ¹⁶ Therefore, it is not within reach of him who wishes, nor within the reach of him who runs, but it is within the reach of the merciful God.

²³ But he poured his mercy upon the favored vessels, which were prepared for the glory of God.

²³ But he poured his mercy upon the favored vessels, which were prepared for the glory of God. ²⁴ Namely, ourselves, the called ones, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.

¹⁴ How then can they call on him on whom they have not believed? Or how can they believe on him whom they have never heard? Or how can they hear without a preacher? ¹⁵ Or how can they preach, if they are not sent forth? As it is written, How becoming are the feet of those who preach peace, and of those who bring good tidings. ¹⁶ For all have not heard the preaching of the gospel. For Isaiah said, My LORD, who has believed the echoes of our voice? ¹⁷ So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

⁵ Even so at the present time a remnant is preserved, elected by the grace. ⁶ And if by grace, then it is not by works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if by works, then it is not by grace: otherwise work is no more work.

³³ O the depth of the riches, the wisdom, and the knowledge of God! for no man has searched his judgment, and his ways are inscrutable. ³⁴ For who has known the mind of the LORD? or who has been his counsellor?

⁵ So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

⁵ Wherefore, we must be obedient, not only in fear of wrath, but also for our conscience sake.

⁶ That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ.

¹² And again Isaiah said, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise will be a prince to the Gentiles; and in him shall the Gentiles trust. ¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace so that by faith you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

²⁵ But now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God, and is made known to all the peoples for the obedience of faith: ²⁶ For God is the only wise one, and to him be glory through Jesus Christ for ever and ever: Amen. ²⁷ The grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

¹ PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother SosÆthe-nes,

¹ PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother SosÆthe-nes, 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:

⁸ Who will also strengthen you to the end so that you may be blameless in the day of our LORD Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will do away with the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the learned of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ Because all the wisdom which God had given was not sufficient for the world to know God, it pleased God to save those who believe by the simple gospel.

²¹ Because all the wisdom which God had given was not sufficient for the world to know God, it pleased God to save those who believe by the simple gospel. ²² For the Jews demand signs, and the Syrians seek after wisdom: ²³ But we preach Christ crucified, which is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Syrians. * ²⁴ But for those who are called, both Jews and Syrians, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

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.

⁷ But we discuss the wisdom of God shown in a mysterious way, and it is hidden, but which God ordained before the world for our glory: ⁸ Which none of the rulers of the world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory.

¹⁰ But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

¹⁰ But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. ¹¹ For what man knows the mind of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so, no man knows the mind of God, except the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit that is from God, that we may understand the gifts that are given to us by God.

²² Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are yours; ²³ And you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

¹² And labor, working with our own hands: being cursed we bless, being persecuted, we endure it;

¹⁷ This is why I have sent Ti-moÆthe-us to you, who is my beloved son and faithful in the LORD, who shall remind you of my manner of life in Christ, just as I teach in all the churches.

¹¹ Now all of these things which happened to them are an example for us: and they are written for our admonition, for the world will come to an end in our day.

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.

⁶ And there are diversities of powers, but it is the one God who works all things in all men.

⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit.

¹² For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, even though many, are one body, so also is Christ.

¹² For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, even though many, are one body, so also is Christ. 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. ¹⁴ The body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ For if the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; is it therefore not a member of the body? ¹⁶ And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; is it therefore not a member of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body were eyes, where would hearing be? And if the whole were hearing, where would smelling be? ¹⁸ But now God has set every member in the body, as it has pleased him. ¹⁹ If they were all one member, where would the body be? ²⁰ But now they are many members, yet but one body. ²¹ The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you: nor can the head say to the feet, I have no need of you. ²² But rather those members of the body which are considered to be delicate are necessary. ²³ And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, we bestow more abundant honor; and the parts that are uncomely, we dress with greater care. ²⁴ For our comely parts have no need for attention: But God has so tempered the body together, and has given greater honor to the member which is inferior: ²⁵ That there may be no discord in the body, but that they may care one for another, all members should be equal. ²⁶ So when one member is in pain, all the members suffer with it; and if one member is honored, all the members will glory with it. ²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and members in your respective places.

⁶ Now, my brethren, if I should come to you and speak in diverse tongues, what would I profit you, except I speak to you either by means of revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying or by teaching?

²⁵ For he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. ²⁶ And the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. ²⁷ For he has put all things under his feet. But when he said all things are put under him, it is clear that he, who put all things under him, is excepted. ²⁸ And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him who put all things under him, so that God may be all in all.

¹ PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Ti-moÆthe-us our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all A-chaÆia: ² Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ. ³ Blessed be God, even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;

²² And who has sealed us, and pledged his spirit in our hearts.

⁴ To those in this world whose minds have been blinded by God, because they did not believe, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the likeness of God, should shine on them.

⁶ For God, who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts, so that we may be enlightened with the knowledge of the glory of God in the person of Christ. ⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of power may be from God, and not of us.

¹⁵ For all things are for your sakes that the abundant grace might, through the thanksgiving of many, redound to the glory of God.

⁵ Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given to us the pledge of his Spirit.

¹⁷ Whoever from now on is a follower of Christ, is a new creation: old things have passed away;

²¹ For he who did not know sin, for your sakes he made him sin, that we may through him be made the righteousness of God.

⁷ By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

¹⁸ And will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, said the LORD Almighty.

⁹ For you know the gracious gift of our LORD Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you, through his poverty, might be rich.

³¹ The God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever and ever, knows that I do not lie.

¹ BOASTING is proper, but there is no advantage in it, and I prefer to relate the visions and revelations of our LORD.

¹ PAUL, an Apostle, not sent by men, nor appointed by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;

³ Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ,

¹² For I did not receive it nor learn it from man, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ To reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately disclose it to any human being:

⁹ So then, it is the believers who are blessed through Abraham the faithful.

¹⁴ That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁸ For if the inheritance is by the law, then it would not be as the fulfillment of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

²⁶ For you are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ.

⁴ But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son who, born of a woman, became subject to the law, ⁵ To redeem them who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. ⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts crying, Abba, Avon,ö O Father, our Father.

⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts crying, Abba, Avon,ö O Father, our Father.

⁵ For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. ⁶ For in Christ Jesus, neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision; but faith which is accomplished by love.

¹³ For, my brethren, you have been called unto liberty; only do not use your liberty for an occasion to the things of the flesh, but by love serve one another.

²² But the fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith,

³ Blessed be the God, and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heaven through Christ:

⁵ And he marked us with his love to be his from the beginning, and adopted us to be sons through Jesus Christ, as it pleased his will. ⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace that he has poured upon us by his beloved one.

⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace that he has poured upon us by his beloved one. ⁷ In him we have salvation, and in his blood, forgiveness of sins, according to the richness of his grace;

⁷ In him we have salvation, and in his blood, forgiveness of sins, according to the richness of his grace;

⁷ In him we have salvation, and in his blood, forgiveness of sins, according to the richness of his grace; ⁸ That that grace which has abounded in us, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

⁸ That that grace which has abounded in us, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ⁹ And because he has made known to us the mystery of his will, as he has ordained from the very beginning, to work through it; ¹⁰ As a dispensation of the fulness of times, that all things might be made new in heaven and on earth through Christ: ¹¹ By whom we have been chosen, as he had marked us from the beginning so he wanted to carry out everything according to the good judgment of his will: ¹² That we should become the first to trust in Christ, to his honor and his glory: ¹³ In whom, you also have heard the word of truth, which is the gospel for your salvation: in him you have believed, so you are sealed with the Holy Spirit that was promised, ¹⁴ Which is the pledge of our inheritance, for the salvation of those who are saved, and for the glory of his honour.

¹⁴ Which is the pledge of our inheritance, for the salvation of those who are saved, and for the glory of his honour.

¹⁷ So that the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

¹⁷ So that the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: ¹⁸ And so that the eyes of your understanding may be enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the glorious riches of his inheritance in the saints;

¹⁸ And so that the eyes of your understanding may be enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the glorious riches of his inheritance in the saints;

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,

⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, ⁵ Even when we were dead in our sins, has made us live together with Christ, by whose grace we are saved; ⁶ And he has raised us up with him, and seated us with him in heaven, through Jesus Christ.

⁶ And he has raised us up with him, and seated us with him in heaven, through Jesus Christ. ⁷ In the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ For we are his creation, created through Jesus Christ ultimately for good works, which God has before ordained that we should live in them. ¹¹ Wherefore remember that you were Gentiles in the flesh from the beginning, and you were called Uncircumcision, differing from that which is called Circumcision, which is the work of the hands in the flesh. ¹² At that time you were without Christ, being aliens to the customs of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope, and without God in the world.

¹² At that time you were without Christ, being aliens to the customs of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope, and without God in the world.

¹⁵ And he has abolished by his precious body, the enmity between them, and he has abolished by his commandments, the ordinances of the law, that he may create, in his person, from the two, a new man, thus making peace; ¹⁶ And he reconciled both in one body with God, and with his cross he destroyed the enmity:

³ For the mystery was made known to me by a revelation; as I have briefly written you before, ⁴ So that when you read it you can understand my knowledge of the mystery of Christ, ⁵ Which in ages past was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

⁵ Which in ages past was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; ⁶ That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and partakers of his body and of the promise which is given through him by the gospel, ⁷ Of that very gospel, I have been a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power.

⁷ Of that very gospel, I have been a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power. ⁸ Even to me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ:

⁸ Even to me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ: ⁹ And that I may enlighten all men that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery, which for ages had been hidden from the world by God who created all things: ¹⁰ To the intent that through the church the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the angels and powers which are in heaven,

¹⁰ To the intent that through the church the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the angels and powers which are in heaven, ¹¹ Which is the wisdom he prepared in ages past, and has carried out in Jesus Christ our LORD:

¹¹ Which is the wisdom he prepared in ages past, and has carried out in Jesus Christ our LORD:

¹⁵ For whom all fatherhood in heaven and in earth is named, ¹⁶ To grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit; ¹⁷ That Christ may dwell in you by faith, and in your hearts by love, strengthening your understanding and your foundation; ¹⁸ So that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the height and depth and length and breadth; ¹⁹ And to know the love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.

¹⁹ And to know the love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God. ²⁰ Now to him who is able by power to do for us more than anyone else, and to do for us more than we ask or think, according to his mighty power that works in us, ²¹ Unto him be glory in his church by Jesus Christ throughout all ages, world without end: Amen.

¹ I THEREFORE, a prisoner of our LORD, beseech you to live as is worthy of the rank to which you are called, ² With all humility and gentleness and with patience, forbearing one another in love,

⁴ That you may become one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;

⁸ Wherefore it is said, He ascended on high, and took possession of heaven and gave good gifts to men. ⁹ Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the inner parts of the earth? ¹⁰ So he that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fulfil all things.

¹⁰ So he that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fulfil all things.

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.

²¹ If you have truly heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is found in Jesus:

³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed unto the day of salvation.

² And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and has given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet example.

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.

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. ²⁴ Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved his church, and gave himself for it; ²⁶ That he might sanctify and cleanse it, by the washing of water and by the word, ²⁷ In order to build for himself a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

²⁷ In order to build for himself a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ So should men love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no man ever yet hated his own body; but nourishes it and cherishes it, even as Christ does for his church. 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. ³² This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and his church.

¹⁰ From henceforth, my brethren, be strong in our LORD, and in the power of his might.

¹² For your conflict is not only with flesh and blood, but also with the angels, and with powers, with the rulers of this world of darkness, and with the evil spirits under the heavens.

²¹ In order that you also may know my affairs, and what I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and a faithful minister in our LORD, shall make known to you all things;

³ I give thanks to my God for your steady remembrance of me. ⁴ In all my prayers for you, I make supplication with joy,

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

⁹ Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name;

⁹ Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name; ¹⁰ That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and those under the earth,

¹⁰ That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and those under the earth, ¹¹ And every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the LORD, to the glory of God his Father.

¹¹ And every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the LORD, to the glory of God his Father.

¹³ For it is God who inspires you with the will to do the good things which you desire to do.

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:

⁹ And be found in him, since I have no righteousness of my own gained from the law, but the righteousness which comes through the faith of Christ; that is, the righteousness which comes from God: 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;

¹⁴ I press toward the goal to receive the prize of victory of GodÆs highest calling through Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ But my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in the glory of Jesus Christ.

² To those who are at Colosse, holy brethren and believers in Jesus Christ: Peace be with you, and grace from God our Father and our LORD Jesus Christ. ³ Always we give thanks to God, the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, and always we pray for you,

³ Always we give thanks to God, the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, and always we pray for you, ⁴ Since we heard of your faith in Jesus Christ, and of your love for all the saints,

⁴ Since we heard of your faith in Jesus Christ, and of your love for all the saints, ⁵ For the hope which is preserved for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the true word of the gospel;

⁵ For the hope which is preserved for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the true word of the gospel; ⁶ Which has been preached to you, just as it has been preached throughout the world; growing and bringing forth fruits, as it does also in you, since the day you heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth;

⁸ And who has made known to us your love for spiritual things. ⁹ For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you might be filled with the knowledge of the will of God in all wisdom and in all spiritual understanding;

⁹ For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you might be filled with the knowledge of the will of God in all wisdom and in all spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ That you might live a righteous life, please God with all good works, and bring forth good fruits, and grow in the knowledge of God;

¹² So that you may joyfully give thanks to God the Father, who has enlightened us and made us worthy partakers of the inheritance of the saints; ¹³ And has delivered us from the power of darkness, and brought us to the kingdom of his beloved Son: ¹⁴ By whom we have obtained salvation and forgiveness of sins. ¹⁵ He is the image of the invisible God, and the first-born of every creature: ¹⁶ And through him were created all things that are in heaven, and on earth, visible and invisible; whether imperial thrones, or lordships, or angelic orders, or dominions, all things were in his hand and were created by him:

¹⁶ And through him were created all things that are in heaven, and on earth, visible and invisible; whether imperial thrones, or lordships, or angelic orders, or dominions, all things were in his hand and were created by him:

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church: for he is the beginning, the firstfruits of the resurrection from the dead; that in all things he might be the first;

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church: for he is the beginning, the firstfruits of the resurrection from the dead; that in all things he might be the first; ¹⁹ For it pleased God to complete all things in him; ²⁰ And by his hand to reconcile everything to himself; and through his blood shed on the cross made peace both for those who dwell on earth and for those who dwell in heaven. ²¹ Even to you, who in times past were alienated and hostile in your minds because of your evil works, has been given peace, ²² Through the sacrifice of his body and his death, so that he may raise you before him, holy, and without reproach and blameless:

²² Through the sacrifice of his body and his death, so that he may raise you before him, holy, and without reproach and blameless: ²³ If you continue in your faith and your foundation is firm, and if you are not moved from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard, and which has been preached to every creature which is under heaven and for which I, Paul, have become a minister;

²³ If you continue in your faith and your foundation is firm, and if you are not moved from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard, and which has been preached to every creature which is under heaven and for which I, Paul, have become a minister; ²⁴ And now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and make up that which is lacking of the sufferings of Christ in my flesh for his bodyÆs sake, which is the church:

²⁶ Even the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now is revealed to his saints: ²⁷ To whom God wanted to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ among you, the hope of our glory;

²⁷ To whom God wanted to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ among you, the hope of our glory; ²⁸ Him we preach, and teach, and make known to every man in all wisdom, that we may bring up every man perfect through Jesus Christ; ²⁹ And to this end, I labour and strive through the help of the power which is given to me.

² That their hearts may be comforted, and that they may be brought near by love to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, the Father, and of Christ,

² That their hearts may be comforted, and that they may be brought near by love to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, the Father, and of Christ, ³ In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

³ In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

⁹ For in him is embodied all the fulness of the Godhead. ¹⁰ And it is through him that you also have been made complete, for he is the head of all angelic orders and powers:

¹⁰ And it is through him that you also have been made complete, for he is the head of all angelic orders and powers:

¹² And you were buried with him in baptism, and by him you were raised with him, for you believed in the power of God who raised him from the dead. ¹³ And you, who once were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has granted to live with him, and he has forgiven you all your sins;

¹⁵ And by putting off his mortal body, he exposed the powers of evil, and through his person put them openly to shame.

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.

¹ IF you then are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.

¹¹ Where there is neither Jew nor Syrian, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Greek nor barbarian, slave nor freeman; but Christ is all and in all men. ¹² Therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on mercy, kindness, gentleness, humbleness of mind, meekness, patience;

¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ govern your hearts; for that end, you are called in one body; and be thankful to Christ;

²⁴ Knowing that from the LORD you shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the LORD Christ.

² We give thanks to God always for you all, remembering you continually in our prayers; ³ Mentioning before God the Father the works of your faith and the labor of your love, and the patience of your hope in our LORD Jesus Christ.

⁵ For our preaching to you was not in words only, but also in power, and with the Holy Spirit, and with sincere assurance; and you know also how we lived among you for your sakes.

¹² And we bore the testimony to you, so that you may live a life worthy of God, who has called you to his kingdom and glory. ¹³ For this cause also we thank God continually, because, when you received the word of God which you heard from us you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which works effectively in you who believe.

¹² And may the LORD increase and enrich your love toward one another and toward all men, even as we love you:

⁷ For God has not called you unto uncleanness but unto holiness.

⁹ Now concerning brotherly love, you do not need me to write to you for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.

⁸ But let us who are the children of the day, be alert, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet put on the hope of salvation.

¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

³ We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, my brethren, as it is appropriate to do, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of all of you for one another increases;

⁸ At which time he will avenge, with flaming fire, those who know not God, and those who do not acknowledge the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ; ⁹ For they, at the judgment day, shall be rewarded with everlasting destruction from the presence of our LORD, and from the glory of his power; ¹⁰ When he comes to be glorified by his saints and to perform his wonders among his faithful ones, so that our testimony, concerning you, may be believed in that day. ¹¹ Therefore we always pray for you, that God will vouchsafe you worthy of your calling, and satisfy all your desires which are for goodness, and the works of faith with power:

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:

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: ¹⁴ And it is to these things that God called you by our preaching, to be the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ Now our LORD Jesus Christ himself, and God even our Father, who has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through his grace,

⁵ Now the fulfillment of the commandment is love out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of a true faith:

¹⁴ Now the grace of our LORD has become abundant in me, as well as my faith and love in Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ Now the grace of our LORD has become abundant in me, as well as my faith and love in Jesus Christ. ¹⁵ This is a trustworthy saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. ¹⁶ Howbeit for this cause he had mercy on me, that in me first Jesus Christ may shew forth all patience, for a pattern to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting.

⁶ Who gave himself a ransom for all, a testimony which came in due time.

¹⁵ So that if I am delayed, you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. ¹⁶ Truly great is this divine mystery of righteousness: it is revealed in the flesh, justi- fied in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

¹² Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life to which you are called, having professed a true profession before many witnesses.

⁹ Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own will and his grace, which was given us in Jesus Christ before the world began,

¹² For this cause I suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have trusted, and I am sure he will take care of me until that day.

¹⁰ Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Jesus Christ, with eternal glory.

¹⁵ Strive to conduct yourself perfectly before God, as a soldier without reproach and one who preaches straightforwardly the word of truth.

¹⁹ Nevertheless the foundation of God stands firm, having this seal, The LORD knows those who are his, and he will save from iniquity every one who calls upon the name of the LORD.

²⁵ So that he may discipline gently those who argue against him; and perhaps God will grant them repentance and they will know the truth:

¹⁵ And knowing that you have learned from your childhood the holy scriptures which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, in the faith of GodÆs elect, and in the knowledge of true godliness;

¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, in the faith of GodÆs elect, and in the knowledge of true godliness; ² In the hope of eternal life, which the true God promised ages ago;

⁴ To Titus, a true son in the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father, and the LORD Jesus Christ our Saviour.

¹¹ For the grace of God that brings salvation has been revealed to all men.

¹¹ For the grace of God that brings salvation has been revealed to all men. ¹² It teaches us to renounce ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world soberly, righteously, and in godliness; ¹³ Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 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.

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.

⁵ Since I have heard of your faith and love, which you have toward our LORD Jesus, and toward all saints;

² Whom he has appointed heir of all things, and by whom also he made the worlds; ³ For he is the brightness of his glory and the express image of his being, upholding all things by the power of his word; and when he had through his person, cleansed our sins, then he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; ⁴ And he is altogether greater than the angels, just as the name he has inherited is a more excellent name than theirs.

³ How shall we escape, if we neglect the very things which are our salvation and which were first spoken by our LORD, and were proved to us by those who had heard him,

⁵ For he has not put into subjection to the angels the world to come, whereof we speak.

⁸ Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. By putting all things under his control, he left nothing that he did not put under subjection to him. But now we do not see yet that all things are in subjection to him. ⁹ We see that he is Jesus who humbled himself to be a little lower than the angels, through his suffering and his death, but now he is crowned with glory and honor; for he tasted death for the sake of every one but God. ¹⁰ And it was meet and proper for him, in whose hand is everything and for whom are all things, to bring many sons to glory, so that from the very beginning of their salvation, they are made perfect through sufferings. 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 Saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. ¹³ And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold me and the children which God has given me. ¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also likewise partook of the same; and by his death he has destroyed him who had the power of death, that is, the devil. ¹⁵ And has released them who, through fear of death all their lives, were subject to slavery.

¹⁴ We have, therefore, a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus Christ, the Son of God; let us remain firm in his faith.

⁴ But this is impossible for those who have once been baptised, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit,

¹⁰ For God is not unjust to forget your works and your labor of love which you have made known in his name, for you have ministered to the saints and still do minister.

¹⁷ Therefore, because God wanted more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise that his agreement was unchangeable, he sealed it by an oath.

⁵ Who serve the semblance and shadow of heavenly things, just as it was commanded to Moses when he was about to make the tabernacle: See that you make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.

¹⁰ But which served only for food and drink, and in divers ablutions, which are ordinances of the flesh and which were imposed until the time of reformation.

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. ¹³ For if the blood of goats and calves, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkled on those who were defiled, sanctified them even to the cleansing of their flesh; ¹⁴ How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works so that we may serve the living God? ¹⁵ For this cause he became the mediator of the new testament and by his death he became redemption for those who transgressed the old covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

²² Because nearly everything, according to the law, is purified with the blood: and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. ²³ It is necessary, therefore, that the patterns of things which are heavenly should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves, with sacrifices better than these.

⁴ For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats could take away sins. ⁵ Therefore, when he entered into the world, he said: Sacrifices and offerings thou didst not desire, but a body thou hast prepared me: ⁶ Burnt offering and sin offering thou has not required. ⁷ Then said I, Lo, I come, in the beginning of the books, it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O God. ⁸ Above when he said: Sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and offerings for sins, thou wouldst not, the very ones which were offered according to the law: ⁹ And after that he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. Thus he put an end to the first in order to establish the second. ¹⁰ By this very will, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¹¹ For every high priest appointed ministered daily, offering the same sacrifices, which had never been able to cleanse sins: ¹² But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down on the right hand of God for ever.

¹² But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down on the right hand of God for ever.

¹⁷ And their iniquities and sins will I remember no more. ¹⁸ For where there is forgiveness of sins, there is no need for offering for sins.

³² Remember, therefore, the former days, in which, after you received baptism, you endured a great fight of suffering.

⁴⁰ Because God, from the beginning, provided for our help lest, without us, they should not be made perfect.

⁵ And you have forgotten the teaching which has been told to you as to children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the LORD, nor let your soul faint when thou art rebuked of him, ⁶ For whom the LORD loves, he chastens him, and disciplines the sons with whom he is pleased. ⁷ Now, therefore, endure discipline, because God acts toward you as towards sons; for where is the son whom the father does not discipline? ⁸ But if you are without discipline, that very discipline by which every man is trained, then you are strangers and not sons. ⁹ Furthermore if our fathers of the flesh corrected us and we respected them, how much more then should we willingly be under subjection to our Spiritual Father, and live?

²² But you have come near to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the innumerable multitude of angels, ²³ And to the congregation of the first converts who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of pious men made perfect ²⁴ And to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the sprinkling of his blood, which speaks a better message than Abel did.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our LORD Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

¹⁸ It is he, who begot us of his own will with the word of truth, that we should be the firstfruits of his creatures.

¹ MY brethren, do not, with hypocrisy, uphold the glorious faith of our LORD Jesus Christ.

⁵ Hear this, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of the world who are rich in faith, to be heirs of the kingdom which God has promised to those who love him?

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.

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. ³ Blessed be God, the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who by his abundant mercy has again renewed us spiritually to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ To an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, that does not fade away, and is prepared in heaven for you,

¹⁸ Knowing that you have not been redeemed from your empty works which you have received from your fathers by corruptible silver and gold; ¹⁹ But with the precious blood of the Lamb without blemish and without spot which is Christ: ²⁰ Who verily was foreordained for this very purpose, before the foundation of the world, and was manifest in these last times, for your sakes, ²¹ Who by him do believe in God, who raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might rest on God. 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: ¹⁰ You, who in the past were not considered a people, but who are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but who now have mercy poured out upon you.

²⁴ And he bore all our sins, and lifted them with his body on the cross, that we being dead to sin, should live through his righteousness: and by his wounds you were healed.

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.

¹⁸ For Christ also once suffered for our sins, a just man for sinners, that he might bring you to God, wherefore while he died in the flesh, he lives in the Spirit.

²² Who is taken up to heaven, and is at the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

¹¹ If any man preach, let him preach the word of God; and if any man minister, let him do it according to the ability which God has given him: so that in everything you do, God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs glory and honour for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, whom God has given to us; will strengthen us to endure these little afflictions that we may be made steadfast and remain in him for ever.

³ Who has given us all things that pertain to the power of God, for life and worship of God, through the knowledge of him who has called us by his glory and excellence;

⁵ And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; ⁶ And to knowledge, self-control; and to selfcontrol, patience; and to patience; godliness; ⁷ And to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. ⁸ For when these things are found among you and abound, you are not empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he who lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. ¹⁰ For this very reason, my brethren, be diligent; for through your good deeds, you make your calling and your election sure: and when you do these things, you shall never fall:

¹⁴ Therefore, my beloved, while you look for these things, be diligent that you may be found by him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

¹⁸ But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ, and of God the Father. To him be glory both now and forever, and through all eternity. Amen.

⁷ But if we live in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

² And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. ³ And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

¹² I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his nameÆs sake.

¹ SEE how abundant the love of the Fa ther is toward us, for he has called us sons and made us: therefore the world does not know us because it did not know him.

¹ SEE how abundant the love of the Fa ther is toward us, for he has called us sons and made us: therefore the world does not know us because it did not know him. ² My beloved, now we are the sons of God, and as yet it has not been revealed what we shall be: but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be in his likeness; for we shall see him as he is. ³ Let every man who has this hope in him purify himself, even as he is pure.

¹⁷ Whoever has worldly goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts his mercy from him, how can the love of God dwell in him?

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that God loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

¹⁶ And we have believed and have known the love that God has for us. God is love; and he who dwells in love, abides in God.

²¹ And this commandment we have from him, That he who loves God loves his brother also.

²⁵ To the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our LORD, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever, Amen.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

¹⁰ Fear none of those things which you shall suffer: behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, that you be tried; and you will be oppressed for ten days: be faithful even to death, and I will give you a crown of life.

¹³ I know your works and where you dwell even where SatanÆs seat is: And you uphold my name, and you did not deny my faith, even in those days when that witness of mine appeared, that faithful one of mine who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.

⁹ And when those wild beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him who sat on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, ¹⁰ The four and twenty elders fall down before him who sat on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ¹¹ You are worthy, O our Holy LORD and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you have created all things, and by you, they are, and by your will, they are and were created.

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;

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; ¹⁰ And have made them to our God kings and priests: and they shall reign on the earth. ¹¹ And I saw, and I heard as it were the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the beasts, and the elders: and their number was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; ¹² Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

¹² Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing. ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and all that are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and dominion for ever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him who lives for ever and ever.

² And I saw another angel, and he ascended from the direction of the rising sun, having the seal of the Living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying,

⁴ And I heard the number of those who were sealed: and it was a hundred and forty and four thousand, of all the tribes of the children of Israel. ⁵ Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand; ⁶ Of the tribe of AÆser, twelve thousand; of the tribe of NepÆtha-lim, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Ma-nasÆses, twelve thousand; ⁷ Of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; of the tribe of IsÆsa-char, twelve thousand; ⁸ Of the tribe of ZabÆu-lon, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand. ⁹ After these things, I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of every nation and people, and kindred and tongue, stood before the throne, and in the presence of the Lamb, clothed with white robes and with palms in their hands; ¹⁰ And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God, who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb. ¹¹ And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before his throne on their faces, and worshipped God. ¹² Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power and might to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

¹² Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power and might to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

⁸ And all who dwell upon the earth shall worship him, even those whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

⁴ These are those who were not defiled with women for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wheresoever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus, from among men, to be the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

⁸ The wild beast that you saw was, and is not, and is ready to come up from the bottomless pit and go to be destroyed: and those who dwell on earth whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, shall wonder when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and now whose end has come.

¹⁴ They will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them: for he is LORD of lords, and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

⁴ And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God who sat on the throne, saying, Amen, Alleluia. ⁵ And a voice came out from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all you his servants, and you who fear him, both small and great. ⁶ And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for our LORD God, omnipotent, reigns.

¹² His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had names written, and one of the names written, no man knew but he himself. ¹³ And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and he called his name, The Word of God.

¹⁰ And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also are the beast and the false prophet; and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose presence the earth and the heavens fled away; and there was no place found for them. ¹² Then I saw the dead, small and great, stand before the throne; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged by those things which were written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell gave up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to his works. ¹⁴ And death and Sheol were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, which is the burning fire. ¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

⁷ He who overcomes shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
