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.

¹ LET every soul be subject to the sover eign authorities. For there is no power which is not from God: and those who are in authority are ordained by God. ² Whoever therefore resists the civil authority, resists the command of God: and they that resist, shall receive judgment to themselves. ³ For judges are not a menace to good works, but to evil. Now if you do not wish to be afraid of the authority, then do good, and you will be praised for it. ⁴ For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is wrong, be afraid; for he is not girded with the sword in vain; for he is the minister of God, and an avenger of wrath upon those who commit crime. ⁵ Wherefore, we must be obedient, not only in fear of wrath, but also for our conscience sake. ⁶ For, for this reason you pay head tax also: for they are ministers of God who are in charge of these things. ⁷ Render therefore, to every one as is due to him: head tax to him who is in charge of head tax, duty to him who is in charge of custom; reverence to whom reverence is due, and honor to whom honor is due.

²⁴ When I leave for Spain, I hope to come to see you: and I hope that you will escort me thence after I have more or less fully enjoyed my visit.

¹ I ENTRUST to your care PheÆbe, our sis ter, who is a deaconess of the church which is at CenÆchre-a: ² That you may receive her in our LORD, with the respect which is due saints, and that you may assist her in whatever she may need of you: for she has been a help to many, and to me also. ³ Salute Pris-cilÆla and AÆqui-la, fellowworkers with me in Jesus Christ, ⁴ Who have risked their necks for my sake: I am not the only one grateful to them, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. ⁵ Likewise salute the congregation that is in their house. Salute my well beloved E-pµnÆetus, who is the first-fruits of A-chaÆia unto Christ. ⁶ Greet Mary, who has labored hard among you. ⁷ Salute An-dro-niÆcus and Junia, my kinsmen, who were prisoners with me, and wellknown among the apostles, and who were believers in Christ before me. ⁸ Greet AmÆpli-as, my beloved in our LORD. ⁹ Salute UrÆbane, our fellow-worker in Christ, and StaÆchys, my beloved. ¹⁰ Salute A-pelÆles, chosen in our LORD.

The churches of Christ salute you. ¹⁷ Now I beseech you, my brethren, beware of those who cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have been taught; keep away from them.

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, my brethren, beware of those who cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have been taught; keep away from them. ¹⁸ For those who are such do not serve our LORD Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by smooth words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple people. ¹⁹ But your obedience is known to every one. I rejoice therefore on your behalf: and I want you to be wise in regard to good things, and pure concerning evil things. ²⁰ The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The Grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with you. ²¹ Ti-moÆthe-us, my fellow-worker, and Lucius, and Jason, and So-sipÆa-ter, my kinsmen, salute you. ²² I TerÆtius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the LORD. ²³ GaÆius, my host and of the whole church, salutes you.

Do you not know that a little leaven will leaven the whole lump? ⁷ Clean out therefore the old leaven, so that you may be a new lump, just as you are unleavened.

But you may judge those who are within the church. ¹³ God will judge the outsiders. Therefore, put away from among yourselves those wicked persons.

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.

¹ NOW as concerning sacrifices offered to idols, we know well, that we all have knowledge; knowledge makes for pride, but love ennobles.

² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love in my heart, I am nothing.

⁶ And perhaps I will remain some time with you, or pass the winter with you, so that you may escort me withersoever I go.

¹¹ Let no man therefore despise him: but escort him in peace, that he may come to me: for I wait for him with the brethren.

²³ The grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with 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;

¹² For the administration of this service not only supplies the wants of the saints, but it also is made abundant by many thanksgivings to God. ¹³ By this experiment of charitable service they glorify God in that you have subjected yourselves to the faith of the gospel of Christ, and through your generosity you have become partakers with them and with all men, ¹⁴ And they offer prayer on your behalf with greater love, because of the abundance of the grace of God which has been on you. ¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his incomparable gift.

¹ NOW I, Paul, beseech you by the gentleness and meekness of Christ, even though I am humble when present among you, I have the assurance when I am far away,

²⁰ For I fear, lest when I come to you, I shall not find you such as I wish to find you, and that you also will not find me as you wish to find me: lest there be controversies, envyings, angers, stubbornness, accusations, slanderings, boastings and disorders.

² I have told you before, and again I tell you in advance, just as I have told you on my two previous visits; and now even while I am far away I write to those who have sinned, and to all others, that if I come again, I will not spare any one:

¹⁶ Know that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no human being be justified.

¹⁶ Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his seed as a covenant. He did not say, To your seeds, as of many, but to your seed, as one, that is Christ. ¹⁷ And this I say, that the covenant which was previously confirmed of God in Christ cannot be repudiated and the promise nullified by the law which came four hundred and thirty years later. 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. ¹⁹ Then what is the use of the law? It was added because of transgression, till the coming of the heir to whom the promise was made; and the law was given by angels by the hand of a mediator; ²⁰ Now a mediator does not represent one alone, but God is one. ²¹ Is the law then against the promises of God? Far be it: for if a law had been given, which could have wrought salvation, righteousness would truly have come as the result of the law.

²⁹ So if you belong to Christ, then you are descendants of Abraham, and his heirs according to the promise.

⁷ From now on you are not servants but sons; and if sons, then heirs of God through Jesus Christ.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus, neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision; but faith which is accomplished by love.

¹² I wish those who are troubling you would be expelled.

²⁰ Idolatry, witchcraft, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, stubbornness, seditions, heresies,

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

¹ MY brethren, if any one be found at fault, you who are spiritual, restore him in a spirit of meekness; and be careful test you also be tempted.

³ For if man thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

⁹ Let us not be weary in welldoing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. ¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who belong to the household of faith.

¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who belong to the household of faith.

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;

¹ AND he has quickened you also who were dead because of your sins and trespasses; ² In which you previously walked according to the worldly course of this world, and according to the will of the supreme ruler of the air, the spirit which is active in the children of disobedience. ³ In those very deeds in which we were also corrupted from the very beginning through the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the wills of the flesh and of the mind: thereby we became completely the children of wrath, even as others. ⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

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. 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:

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.

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.

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.

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:

² With all humility and gentleness and with patience, forbearing one another in love,

²³ And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

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

³¹ Let all bitterness and wrath, and anger, and clamouring and blasphemy be put away from you, together with all malice:

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

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

⁵ Let your humility be known to all men. Our LORD is at hand.

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.

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;

²¹ Even to you, who in times past were alienated and hostile in your minds because of your evil works, has been given peace,

⁷ In the past you also lived among these things, and you were perverted by them.

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

¹² Therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on mercy, kindness, gentleness, humbleness of mind, meekness, patience; ¹³ Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another; and if any one has a complaint against his fellow man, just as Christ forgave you, so should you also forgive.

¹⁸ This salutation is by the hand of me, Paul. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you. Amen.

⁷ But we were meek when we were among you, and like a foster mother who loves her children:

⁹ For you remember, brethren, that we labored hard, working night and day, with our hands, so that we would not burden you.

¹⁴ Now we beseech you, my brethren, correct those who offend, comfort those who lack courage, bear the burdens of the weak, and be patient toward all men. ¹⁵ See that none of you render evil for evil; but always follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

⁶ Now we command you, my brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, to shun every brother who leads an evil life, and not in accord with the commandments which he received from us.

⁸ Neither did we eat bread for nothing from any of you, but worked with hard labor and toiled night and day so that we might not be a burden to any of you:

¹⁴ And if any man does not obey our word in this epistle, note that man, and do not associate with him, that he may be ashamed.

¹ PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, our hope; ² To Ti-moÆthe-us, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God, our Father, and Christ Jesus our LORD. ³ When I went to Mac-e-doÆni-a, I besought you to remain at EphÆe-sus, so that you might charge certain ones not to teach diverse doctrines, ⁴ And not to give heed to fables and stories of endless genealogies, which cause dispute, rather than build up the faith of God. ⁵ Now the fulfillment of the commandment is love out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of a true faith:

⁵ Now the fulfillment of the commandment is love out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of a true faith: ⁶ From which some have gone astray and have turned aside to foolish words; ⁷ Desiring to be teachers of the law; not understanding what they speak, nor even whereof they argue.

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.

¹⁹ In faith and good conscience; those who have rejected this charge have lost their faith: ²⁰ Namely Hy-me-nµÆus and Al-ex-an-der, whom I have delivered to Satan, to be disciplined so that they may no longer blaspheme.

² For kings and for all in authority; that we may live a quiet and peaceable life, in all purity and Godliness. ³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour:

³ Not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but meek, not a brawler;

¹¹ Likewise their wives must be chaste, have an alert mind, faithful in all things, and they must not be slanderers.

⁶ If you teach these things to the brethren, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, brought up by the words of faith and in the good doctrine which you have been taught. ⁷ Refuse foolish and old wives fables, and train yourself in righteousness.

¹⁰ Because of this, we both toil and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those who believe.

¹⁰ And well spoken of for good works; if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the feet of the saints, if she has comforted the distressed, if she has been diligent in every good work.

⁶ For this reason, I remind you to stir up the gift of God, which is in you by the laying on of my hand.

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, ¹⁰ And is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and has revealed life and immortality through the gospel;

¹⁴ You should keep these things in remembrance, as a testimony before our LORD, that the faithful should not argue over words in which there is no profit but which are destruction to those who listen to them.

¹⁶ Shun empty and worthless words, for they only increase the ungodliness of those who argue over them.

²¹ If therefore a man purifies himself from these things, he will become like a vessel pure for honor, worthy of the masterÆs use, and ready for every good work.

²³ Keep away from foolish disputes which do not educate, you know they cause strife. ²⁴ A servant of our LORD must not quarrel; but be gentle to all men, apt at teaching and patient, 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:

² And men shall be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, proud, conceited, blasphemers, disobedient to their own people, ungrateful, wicked, ³ False accusers, addicts to lust, brutal, haters of good things,

⁵ Having a form of godliness, but are far from the power of God: from such turn away.

⁹ Make every effort to come to me soon:

¹² I have sent TychÆi-cus to EphÆe-sus.

²¹ Make every effort to come before winter. Eu-buÆlus greets you, and PuÆdens and LiÆnus, and ClauÆdi-a, and all the brethren. ²² Our LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with all of us. Amen.

² In the hope of eternal life, which the true God promised ages ago; ³ And has in due time revealed his word by our preaching; which preaching has been intrusted to me by the command of God our Saviour; ⁴ To Titus, a true son in the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father, and the LORD Jesus Christ our Saviour.

⁹ Holding fast the doctrine of faith, so that he may be able to comfort by his sound doctrine, and to rebuke those who are proud.

¹¹ Whose mouths must be stopped, for they corrupt many families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of filthy lucre.

¹⁴ And not give heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who hate the truth.

¹⁰ Not stealing but manifesting true sincerity that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 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.

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.

¹ REMIND all to be obedient and submissive to princes and governors, and to be ready for every good work,

⁴ But after the goodness and kindness of God our Saviour was manifested,

⁸ This is a true saying, and these things I want you to constantly affirm, so that those who believe in God may be careful to continually do good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

¹⁴ And let our people be taught to do good works in times of emergency, that they be not unfruitful.

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

¹¹ But of whom in the past you could not make use, but now he is very useful both to you and to me.

¹⁶ Let us, therefore, come openly to the throne of his grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

⁶ For, for them to sin again, and be renewed again by repentance, they crucify the Son of God a second time, and put him to open shame.

⁶ For, for them to sin again, and be renewed again by repentance, they crucify the Son of God a second time, and put him to open shame. ⁷ For the earth which drinks in the rain that falls abundantly on it, and brings forth herbs useful to those for whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God: 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. ⁹ But beloved brethren, we expect from you the things that are good and that pertain to salvation, even though we speak in this manner. 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. ¹¹ We desire that every one of you show the same diligence toward the fulfillment of your hope, even unto the end, ¹² And that you be not slothful, but be followers of those who through faith and patience have become heirs of the promise.

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.

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.

²⁶ For if any man sin willfully after he has received the knowledge of the truth, then there is no more sacrifice to be offered for sins,

⁷ By faith Noah, when he was warned concerning the things not seen, became fearful and he made an ark to save his household, and by it he condemned the world and he became heir of righteousness which is by faith.

⁹ By faith he became a sojourner in the land which was promised him as in a strange country, and he dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

²¹ Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in us that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

²⁵ Grace be with you all. Amen.

¹⁹ Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, and slow to speak, and slow to anger: ²⁰ For the wrath of man does not bring about the righteousness of God.

²⁶ If any man thinks that he ministers to God, and does not control his tongue, he deceives his own heart, and this manÆs ministry is in vain.

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.

¹¹ Do not speak against one another, my brethren, for he who speaks against his brother, and judges his brother, speaks against the law, and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge of it.

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,

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

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.

¹ THEREFORE lay aside all malice and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and evil accusations,

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.

¹³ Submit yourselves to all human authority for GodÆs sake: whether it be to kings, because of their power, ¹⁴ Or to judges because from them officers are sent for the punishment of offenders, and to bestow honour on those who do good. ¹⁵ For such is the will of God, that by your good works you may silence the mouth of foolish men, who know not God. 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. ¹⁷ Honour all men. Love your brethren. Fear God. Honour the king.

¹⁷ Honour all men. Love your brethren. Fear God. Honour the king. ¹⁸ And the servants among you, let them be submissive to their masters with due respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are severe and difficult.

⁷ Likewise, you husbands, live with your wives with understanding, and hold them with tenderness like delicate vessels, because they also will inherit with you the gift of everlasting life; do this that you may not be hindered in your prayers. ⁸ Finally, live in harmony, share the suffering of those who suffer, be affectionate one to another, and be kind and gentle:

¹⁰ Now, therefore, he who desires eternal life and wants to see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

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

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.

¹² Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them well; and you rely on this very truth.

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

¹⁰ And especially will he punish those who follow after filthy lusts of the flesh, and have no respect for authority. Arrogant and selfwilled are they who do not tremble when they blaspheme against the glory;

¹ IT has been a long time since I have writ ten you, my beloved, but now I write you this second epistle; in both of them I have endeavored to stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: ² That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment, given through us, the Apostles of our LORD and Saviour:

¹⁰ He who believes on the Son of God has this testimony in himself: he who does not believe God, has made him a liar; because he does not believe the record that God gave of his Son. 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. ¹³ These things I have written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life.

¹ THE minister, to the mother church, and her children, those whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but also all those who have known the truth, ² For the sake of the truth which dwells in us and is with us for ever,

¹⁰ If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not welcome him to your house, neither bid him to eat:

¹ THE elder, to the well beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

⁶ Who have borne witness concerning your love before the whole church: for the good things which you have done for them by supplying their needs, as is pleasing to God, ⁷ Because they have gone forth for his nameÆs sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles. ⁸ We, therefore, ought to welcome such, so that we may be fellow helpers to the truth.

⁵ I will, therefore, remind you, though you once knew this, that God, having redeemed and saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

⁸ Likewise also, these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme against the glory.

¹⁰ But these men blaspheme against those things about which they do not know: and what they know naturally as dumb beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

⁹ Thus the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world: he was cast out on the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁴ Beguiling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

² And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, and has become a habitation of those possessed with devils, and the shelter of every foul spirit and the shelter of every unclean and detestable bird and the shelter of every unclean and loathsome wild beast.
