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.

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.

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:

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. 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.

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. ¹⁴ Sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are no longer under the law, but under grace. ¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? Far be it. ¹⁶ Do you not know, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are, for you obey him, whether it be to sin or whether it be of obedience to righteousness?

¹⁶ Do you not know, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are, for you obey him, whether it be to sin or whether it be of obedience to righteousness? 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.

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.

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.

¹ DO you not know, my brethren, I speak to them who know the law, that the law has authority over a person as long as he lives? ² Just as a woman is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband should die, she is freed from the law of her husband.

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.

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. ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the wounds of sin, which were by the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruits to death.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the wounds of sin, which were by the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruits to death. ⁶ But now we are freed from the law, being dead to that which had hold upon us; and we should henceforth serve in newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

⁶ But now we are freed from the law, being dead to that which had hold upon us; and we should henceforth serve in newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. 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. ⁸ So by means of this commandment, sin found an occasion and provoked in me every kind of lust. For without the law sin was dead. ⁹ Formerly I lived without the law: but when the commandment came, sin came to life and I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment which was ordained to life I found to be for death. ¹¹ For sin, finding occasion by the commandment, misled me and by it killed me.

²³ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and it makes me a captive to the law of sin which is in my members.

²³ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and it makes me a captive to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this mortal body?

²⁴ O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this mortal body? ²⁵ I thank God through our LORD Jesus Christ. Now therefore with my mind I am a servant of the law of God; but with my flesh I am a servant of the law of sin.

²⁵ I thank God through our LORD Jesus Christ. Now therefore with my mind I am a servant of the law of God; but with my flesh I am a servant of the law of sin.

¹ THERE is therefore no condemnation to them who walk in the flesh after the Spirit of Jesus Christ. ² For the law of the Spirit of life which is in Jesus Christ has made you free from the law of sin and death. ³ For the law was weak through the weakness of the flesh, so God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin, in order to condemn sin by means of his flesh:

³ For the law was weak through the weakness of the flesh, so God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin, in order to condemn sin by means of his flesh: ⁴ That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, for we do not walk after the things of the flesh, but after the Spirit.

⁶ To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace;

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. ¹² Therefore, my brethren, we are not indebted to the flesh to live after the flesh. ¹³ For if you live after the flesh, you will die: but if you, through the Spirit, subdue the deeds of the body, you shall live.

¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses: for we do not know what is right and proper for us to pray for: but the Spirit prays for us with that earnestness which cannot be described.

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.

¹ I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, by means of reasonable service.

¹ I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, by means of reasonable service. ² Do not imitate the way of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, that you may discern what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

¹³ Let us walk decently, as in the daylight; not in clamor and drunkenness, not in the practice of immorality, not in envy and strife. ¹⁴ But clothe yourselves with our LORD Jesus Christ, and take no heed for the lusts of the flesh.

¹⁴ But clothe yourselves with our LORD Jesus Christ, and take no heed for the lusts of the flesh.

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.

¹ WE then who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not seek to please ourselves.

¹⁸ For I can scarcely speak of anything which Christ has not wrought by me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

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.

⁴ I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God that has been given to you by Jesus Christ;

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

⁶ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven will leaven the whole lump?

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?

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,

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,

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.

¹⁰ Nor extortioners, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor grafters, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And some of these evils were to be found in some of you, but you have been cleansed, and have been sanctified, and made righteous in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ And some of these evils were to be found in some of you, but you have been cleansed, and have been sanctified, and made righteous in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God.

¹⁴ And as God has raised our LORD, so he will raise us also by his own power. 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? ²⁰ For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, because they belong to God.

²¹ If you were a slave when you were called, do not feel concerned about it; but even though you can be made free, choose rather to serve. ²² For he who is called by our LORD, being a slave, is GodÆs free man; likewise he who is called, being a freeman, is also ChristÆs servant.

²² For he who is called by our LORD, being a slave, is GodÆs free man; likewise he who is called, being a freeman, is also ChristÆs servant.

⁸ I say these things as a man. Behold the law says them also.

¹³ Do you not know that those who work in the holy place are maintained out of the temple? And those who minister at the altar share the offerings with the altar?

²⁰ So with the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win the Jews; and with those who are under the law, I became as one who is under the law, in order to win those who are under the law. ²¹ To those who are without law, I became like one who is without law, though I am not lawless before God because I am under the law of Christ, that I might win them who are without law.

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.

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.

²⁹ Else, what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptized for the dead?

³² If, after the manner of men, I were thrown to wild beasts at EphÆe-sus, what good would come to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die. ³³ Do not be deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

¹⁴ Now thanks be to God, who has made us in the pattern of Christ, and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge through us in every place.

⁶ Who has made us worthy to be ministers of the new covenant; not of the letter, but the Spirit: for the letter of the law punishes with death, but the Spirit gives life. ⁷ Now if the ministration of death, as contained in the letter of the law and engraved on stones, was so glorious that the children of Israel could not look at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance; which glory was not lasting: ⁸ Why then shall not the ministration of the Spirit be more glorious? ⁹ For if there be glory in the ministration of condemnation, much more will the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

¹⁷ Now the LORD is that very Spirit: and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty.

¹⁰ For we always bear in our bodies the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our bodies.

¹⁰ For we always bear in our bodies the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus might also be made manifest in our bodies. ¹¹ For if we who live are delivered to death for JesusÆ sake, so also will the life of Jesus be made manifest in our mortal bodies.

¹¹ For if we who live are delivered to death for JesusÆ sake, so also will the life of Jesus be made manifest in our mortal bodies. ¹² Thus death is close to us, but life is nigh to you. ¹³ We have the same spirit of faith, as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, therefore we also speak; ¹⁴ Knowing that he who raised our LORD Jesus shall raise us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

⁴ While we are in this earthly house, we groan because of its weight: yet we are unwilling to leave it, but rather wish to add to it, so that death will be overcome by life.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us to reason thus, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 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.

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. ¹⁶ And now from henceforth we do not know any one in the body: even though once we had known Christ in the body, we no longer know him now. ¹⁷ Whoever from now on is a follower of Christ, is a new creation: old things have passed away;

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.

¹ HAVING therefore these promises, my beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, and let us serve in holiness in the fear of God.

¹¹ For behold that very thing which distressed you on account of God, has resulted much more in painstaking effort, in apology, anger, fear, love, zeal, and vengeance. In all things you have proven yourselves clear in this matter.

⁵ And this they did, not only as we expected, but first they gave themselves to our LORD, and then to us by the will of God.

⁴ For the weapons which we use are not earthly weapons, but of the might of God by which we conquer rebellious strongholds; ⁵ Casting down imaginations, and every false thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and to capture every thought to the obedience of Christ; ⁶ And we are prepared to seek vengeance on those who are disobedient, when your obedience is fulfilled.

⁴ For though Jesus was crucified through weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. As we are weak with him, so we are alive with him by the power of God who is among you. ⁵ Examine yourselves, whether you are in the same faith; heal your souls. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is among you? If this is not so, then you are rejected.

¹⁰ Do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I tried to please men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

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. ¹⁸ For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I will prove myself to be a transgressor of the law. ¹⁹ For through the law I am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

¹⁹ For through the law I am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 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.

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.

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. ²¹ I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness comes by means of the law, then Christ died in vain.

¹⁰ For those who rely on the works of the law are still under the curse: for as it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not practice everything which is written in the book of the law.

¹⁵ My brethren, I speak as a man; Though it be but a manÆs covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man can reject it or change anything in it.

²³ But before faith came, we were guided by the law, while we were waiting for the faith which was to be revealed.

²⁷ For those who have been baptized in the name of Christ have been clothed with 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.

²¹ Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

¹ STAND firm therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not harnessed again under the yoke of servitude.

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.

¹⁶ This I say then: Lead a spiritual life, and you shall never commit the lust of the flesh.

¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

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

²⁴ And those who belong to Christ have controlled their weaknesses and passions.

⁷ Do not be deceived; God is not deceived: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. ⁸ He who sows things of the flesh, from the flesh shall reap corruption; he who sows things of the Spirit, from the Spirit shall reap life everlasting.

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. ¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision is anything, nor uncircumcision, but it is a new creation that counts. ¹⁶ And upon those who follow this path be peace and mercy; and upon the Israel of God, be peace and mercy.

¹⁶ Never cease to give thanks for your sakes and to mention you in my prayers;

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,

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.

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.

⁵ Even when we were dead in our sins, has made us live together with Christ, by whose grace we are saved;

⁵ Even when we were dead in our sins, has made us live together with Christ, by whose grace we are saved;

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.

⁷ In the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Jesus Christ. ⁸ For it is by grace that you are saved through faith; not of your doing: it is the gift of God: ⁹ Not of works, lest any man should boast. 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.

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,

²² That you lay aside all your former practices, that is to say, the old man which is degenerated with deceitful lusts;

²² That you lay aside all your former practices, that is to say, the old man which is degenerated with deceitful lusts; ²³ And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; ²⁴ And that you put on the new man, who is created by God in righteousness and true holiness.

⁸ For previously you were ignorant, but now you have been enlightened by our LORD, and should live therefore like children of light. ⁹ For the fruits of light are found in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth;

¹⁴ Therefore it is said: Awake thou that sleepest, and rise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

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, ⁵ For your fellowship in the gospel, from the very first day until now,

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

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.

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.

¹⁷ My brethren, be followers like me, and observe those who walk such a path, and then you will be examples as we are. ¹⁸ For there are many who live otherwise, of whom I have often told you, and now I tell you with tears that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ; ¹⁹ Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame; whose thought is on earthly things.

⁷ And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ I do not say this because I want a gift, but because I want to see the fruits of the gospel increased to 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,

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;

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; ¹¹ And be strengthened with all might, according to the greatness of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering, 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;

¹¹ In whom also you are circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in putting off the sinful body by the circumcision of Christ:

¹¹ In whom also you are circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in putting off the sinful body by the circumcision of Christ: 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.

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.

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;

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;

²⁰ Therefore, if you have died with Christ and are apart from the principles of the world why then should you be doomed as though living in the world?

¹ IF you then are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand 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. ² Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth, ³ For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

³ For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

³ For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

³ For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.

⁴ When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory. 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;

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.

⁹ Do not lie one to another, but put away the old life with all its practices; ¹⁰ And put on the new life which is renewed in knowledge after the pattern in which it was originally created:

¹⁰ And put on the new life which is renewed in knowledge after the pattern in which it was originally created:

¹⁷ And whatever you do in word or deed, do it in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, giving thanks through him to God the Father.

¹ MASTERS, do to your servants that which is just and fair; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

¹² EpÆa-phras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you: always labouring for you in prayer, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

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.

⁹ What thanks can we offer to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes,

⁵ And not through the passion of lust, even as the rest of the Gentiles who know not God:

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 For this we say to you by the very word of our LORD, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of our LORD shall not overtake those who are dead. ¹⁶ For our LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout and the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and those who died in Christ will rise first. ¹⁷ Then we, who are alive, and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet our LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with our LORD.

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;

¹² That they all, who did not believe in the truth but preferred unrighteousness, might be damned.

¹³ Who was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 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.

³ I thank God, whom I have served from boyhood with a pure conscience, that I have always remembered you in my prayers night and day. ⁴ I am anxious to see you; I still remember your tears; I am filled with joy, ⁵ Especially when I am reminded of your true faith, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and I am sure now in you also.

¹³ Let these bright and sound words which you have heard from me abide with you in the faith and love which is in Jesus Christ.

¹¹ This is a true saying: For if we die with him, we shall also live with him: ¹² If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

¹⁶ Shun empty and worthless words, for they only increase the ungodliness of those who argue over them. ¹⁷ And their word will be like a canker eating in many: such are Hy-me-nµÆus, and PhileÆtus,

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.

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;

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;

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.

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.

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.

⁴ I thank my God, and always make mention of you in my prayers,

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.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who cannot share our infirmities, but we have one who was tempted with everything as we are, and yet without sin.

⁹ And he grew to be perfect, and became the author of life everlasting to all who obey him;

⁸ But if it should produce thorns and briers it is rejected and not far from being condemned; and at the end this crop will be used for fuel.

¹⁶ One who was not appointed after the law of carnal commandments, but after the power of life which abides for ever.

²⁵ Therefore he is able to forever save those who come to God by him because forever he lives to make intercession for them.

¹⁰ For this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law into their minds, and I will write it on their hearts: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

²⁶ And if not so, then he would have been obliged to suffer many times from the very beginning of the world: but now at the end of the world, only once, by his sacrifice, did he offer himself to abolish sin. ²⁷ And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after their death, the judgment; ²⁸ So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; so that at his second coming, he shall appear without our sins for the salvation of those who look for him.

¹² But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down on the right hand of God for ever. ¹³ From henceforth there he will remain until his enemies are placed as a foot-stool under his feet.

²⁹ How much more punishment do you think he will receive who has trodden underfoot the Son of God, and has considered the blood of his covenant, through which he had been sanctified, as ordinary blood and has blasphemed the Spirit of Grace?

⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called to depart for the land which he was to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.

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;

¹ JAMES, a servant of God and of our LORD Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered among the Gentiles, greeting.

¹⁴ But every man is tempted by his own lust; and he covets and is enticed. ¹⁵ Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin when it has matured, brings forth death.

¹⁵ Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin when it has matured, brings forth death.

⁵ Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Likewise, a small fire sets ablaze the large forests. ⁶ The tongue is a fire, and the sinful world like a forest: that very tongue, while it is among our members, can defile our whole body, and set on fire the records of our race which have rolled down from the beginning: and in the end it is consumed by fire.

¹ FROM whence come conflicts and quarrels among you? Is it not from the lusts that war in your members?

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 O you adulterers! Do you not know that the love for worldly things is enmity with God? Whosoever, therefore, esteems worldly things is the enemy of God.

²⁰ Let him know that he who converts a sinner from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall wipe out a multitude of sins.

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,

⁹ And you will receive the reward for your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

¹⁴ Like obedient children, not partakers again in those sinful desires for which you once lusted in your ignorance:

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;

¹⁶ Act as free men, and not as men who use their liberty as a cloak for their maliciousness; but as the servants of God.

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.

¹ LIKEWISE, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands, so that those who obey not the word may be won without difficulty through your good example.

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.

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,

¹ FORASMUCH then as Christ has suffered for you in the flesh, arm yourselves also with this very thought; he who subdues his body ceases from all sin;

¹ FORASMUCH then as Christ has suffered for you in the flesh, arm yourselves also with this very thought; he who subdues his body ceases from all sin;

¹ FORASMUCH then as Christ has suffered for you in the flesh, arm yourselves also with this very thought; he who subdues his body ceases from all sin; 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ⁴ And behold, they think it strange that you do not indulge with them in the past excesses, and they blaspheme against you.

⁴ And behold, they think it strange that you do not indulge with them in the past excesses, and they blaspheme against you. ⁵ And they shall answer to God who is to judge the quick and the dead. ⁶ For, for this cause the gospel was preached also to those who are dead: that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, and live according to God in spirit.

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.

¹⁷ For the time is come that judgment must begin with the house of God: and if it first begins with us, what shall be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

⁴ Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 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.

¹³ And shall receive the reward of iniquity as they consider it a delightful thing to revel in the daytime. Spots and blemishes have they who sport themselves with their own deceivings as they feast in idleness; ¹⁴ And have eyes full of adultery, and of sin that does not cease: beguiling, unstable souls are they whose hearts are well versed in covetousness: accursed sons are they. ¹⁵ Who have forsaken the right way and are gone astray, following the way of BaÆlaam, the son of Be-or, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

¹⁸ For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the sensual lusts of the flesh; but there are those who flee at a word of warning from those who live in error. ¹⁹ They, while they promise liberty, themselves are the slaves of corruption: for a man is overcome by whatever it is that enslaves him.

¹⁹ They, while they promise liberty, themselves are the slaves of corruption: for a man is overcome by whatever it is that enslaves him.

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁶ He who says, he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 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.

²⁵ And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.

²⁸ And now, my children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may not be ashamed before him, but have pride at his coming.

⁹ Whoever is born of God does not commit sin because GodÆs seed is in him; and he cannot sin because he is born of God.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who believes on the Son has life; he who does not believe on the Son of God does not have life.

⁴ I rejoiced greatly that I found some of your children living in the truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

³ For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified concerning the truth that is in you, even as you live a true life. ⁴ For certain men have falsely entered among you, and these were foreordained from the very beginning to this condemnation; they are ungodly men, turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, and denying the only LORD God, and our LORD Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ These are the ones who murmur and complain, following after their own lusts, and their mouths speak idle flattering words, praising people for the sake of gain.

¹⁸ How they told you there will be mockers until the end of time, and they will always follow their own ungodly lusts.

¹⁸ I am he who lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore. Amen; and have the keys of death and of hell.

¹³ And one of the elders answered and said to me, Who are these who are arrayed in white robes? And from whence did they come?

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

¹⁴ And death and Sheol were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, which is the burning fire.

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.
