Romans 11 Cross References - Living_Oracles

¹ I say, then, has God cast off his people? By no means. For, even I am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ² God has not cast off his people whom formerly he acknowledged. Do you not know, what the scripture says to Elijah; when he complains to God against Israel, saying, ³ "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and have digged down thy altars, and I am let alone, and they seek my life?" ⁴ But what says the answer to God to him? "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." ⁵ So, then, even at this present time, there is a remnant according to an election by favor. ⁶ And if by favor, it is no more of works: otherwise favor is no more favor. ⁷ What then? The thing Israel earnestly seeks, that he has not obtained. But the election has obtained it, and the rest are blinded. ⁸ As it is written, "God has given them a spirit of deep sleep; eyes not seeing, and ears not hearing, until this present day." ⁹ And David says, "Let their table be for a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense to them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, so as not to see; and let them bow down their back continually. ¹¹ I ask, then, have they stumbled, that they may fall? By no means. But, through their fall, salvation is given to the Gentiles, to excite them to emulation. ¹² Now, if the fall of them be the riches of the world; and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness? ¹³ Now, I speak to you, Gentiles, (and inasmuch as I am the Apostle to the Gentiles, I do honor to my ministry,) ¹⁴ if by any means I may excite to emulation my kindred, and may save some of them. ¹⁵ For, if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world; what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? ¹⁶ Moreover, if the first fruit be holy, the mass is also holy; and if the root be holy, so are the branches. ¹⁷ Now, if some of the branches were broken off, and you who are a wild olive, are engrafted among them, and are become a joint partaker of the root and fatness of the olive; ¹⁸ boast not against the branches: but if you boast, still, you bear not the root, but the root you. ¹⁹ You will say, however, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. ²⁰ True: by unbelief they were broken off, and you by faith, stand. Be not high-minded, but fear. ²¹ For, if God spared not the natural branches; perhaps, neither will he spare you. ²² Behold, then, the goodness and severity of God! Toward them who fell, severity: but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise, you also shall be cut off. ²³ And even they, if they continued not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if you were cut off from the olive, by nature wild, and were contrary to nature, grafted into the good olive; how much rather shall those who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive? ²⁵ For, brethren, that you may not be, wise in your own conceits, I would not have you ignorant of this secret, that blindness, in part, has happened to Israel, till the fullness of the Gentiles come in. ²⁶ And so all Israel shall be saved; as it is written, "The deliverer shall come out of Zion, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. ²⁷ For this is my covenant with them, when I shall take away their sins." ²⁸ With respect to the gospel, indeed, they are enemies, on your account: but with respect to the election, they are beloved on account of the fathers. ²⁹ For the free gifts and calling of God are without repentance. ³⁰ Besides, as you, in times past, have disobeyed God, yet now have obtained mercy through their disobedience; ³¹ even so these, also, have no disobeyed, that through your mercy, they also may obtain mercy. ³² For God has shut up together all for disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all. ³³ Oh that depth of the riches and of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! ³⁴ For who has known the mind of the Lord? or who has been his counsellor? ³⁵ or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again? ³⁶ For, from him, and by him, and to him, are all things: to him be the glory forever. Amen.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas, with great freedom of speech, said, It was necessary, that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since you thrust it away from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life; behold, we turn to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so the Lord has charged us, saying, "I have set you for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth."

²⁸ for in him we live, and are moved, and do exist; as some of your own poets have said-"For we his offspring are."

²¹ And he said to me, Go your way, for I will send you afar off to the Gentiles-

⁴ The manner of my life, from my youth, which, from the beginning, was spent among my own nation, in Jerusalem, is known to all the Jews;

¹⁷ delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles; to whom I now send you- ¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God; that they may receive forgiveness of sons, and an inheritance amongst the sanctified, through faith in me.

²⁴ And some were persuaded by the things which were spoken; and some believed not. ²⁵ And disagreeing with each other, they broke up the assembly: Paul saying this one word, Surely, well did the Holy Spirit speak, by Isaiah the prophet, to our fathers, ²⁶ when he said, "Go to this people and say, Hearing you will hear, and will not understand; and seeing you will see, and will not perceive:

²⁶ when he said, "Go to this people and say, Hearing you will hear, and will not understand; and seeing you will see, and will not perceive: ²⁷ for the heart of this people is become gross, and with their ears they hear heavily; and they have drawn their eyes together, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." ²⁸ Therefore be it known to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.

¹³ Now, brethren, I would not have you ignorant, that I often purposed to come to you, thought I have, as yet been hindered; that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles.

⁴ Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering; not acknowledging that the goodness of God invites you to a reformation? ⁵ But according to your obdurate and impenitent heart, you treasure up to yourself wrath, against a day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

⁷ eternal life, indeed, to them who, by perseverance in well-doing, seek glory, honor, and immortality:

³ For, what if some did not believe-will not their unbelief destroy the faithfulness of God? ⁴ By no means. But let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, "That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings, and mayest overcome when thou judgest."

⁹ What then? Do we excel? Not at all. For we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles to be all under sin.

²² even a justification which is of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, for all, and upon all, who believe; for there is no difference.

²⁷ Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith.

²⁷ Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith. ²⁸ We conclude, then, that by faith man is justified, without works of law.

⁴ Now, to him who works, the reward is not counted as a favor, but as a debt. ⁵ But to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

¹⁶ For this reason, it is through faith that it might be by favor, that the promise might be sure to all the seed: not to that only which is of the law; but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all:

¹ Wherefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ- ² through whom we have had introduction, also, by faith, into this favor in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God:

¹⁰ For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

¹⁰ For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. ¹¹ And not only so, but we even rejoice in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, though whom we have now received reconciliation.

²⁰ Moreover, the law supervened, that the offense might abound; but where sin abounded, favor superabounded- ²¹ that as sin reigned by death, so, also, favor might reign by justification to eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁵ What then do we say? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under favor?

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

²⁸ Besides, we know, that all things work together for good, to them who love God; to them, who are called according to his purpose. ²⁹ For, whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son; that he might be the first born among many brethren. ³⁰ Moreover, whom he predestinated, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

³² He, certainly, who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; how will he not, with him, also, graciously give us all things?

³ for my brethren, -my kinsmen, according to the flesh; (for I also was, myself, wishing to be accursed from Christ:)

⁵ whose are the fathers; and from whom the Messiah descended, according to the flesh; who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. ⁶ Now, it is not to be supposed that the promise of God has failed; for all the descendants of Israel are not Israel.

¹¹ (they, indeed, not being yet born; neither having done any good or evil; that the purpose of God might stand, by an election; not on account of works, but of him who calls:)

¹⁸ Well, then, he has mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardens.

²² Yet God, willing to show his wrath, and make know his power, did bear, with much long-suffering, the vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction. ²³ And that he might make known the riches of his glory, on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory:

²³ And that he might make known the riches of his glory, on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory:

²⁷ Besides, Isaiah cries, concerning Israel, "Through the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant shall be saved.

³¹ But Israel, who followed a law of justification, have not attained to a law of justification. ³² Why? Because they sought it not by faith; but, as it were, by works of law: for they stumbled, at the stone of stumbling.

³ for being ignorant of God's justification, and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to the justification which is of God.

¹⁶ Nevertheless, all have not obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

¹⁹ I ask again, has not Israel known? First, Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy by that, which is no nation; -by a foolish nation I will enrage you."

¹ I say, then, has God cast off his people? By no means. For, even I am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

¹ I say, then, has God cast off his people? By no means. For, even I am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ² God has not cast off his people whom formerly he acknowledged. Do you not know, what the scripture says to Elijah; when he complains to God against Israel, saying,

⁵ So, then, even at this present time, there is a remnant according to an election by favor. ⁶ And if by favor, it is no more of works: otherwise favor is no more favor. ⁷ What then? The thing Israel earnestly seeks, that he has not obtained. But the election has obtained it, and the rest are blinded.

⁷ What then? The thing Israel earnestly seeks, that he has not obtained. But the election has obtained it, and the rest are blinded.

⁷ What then? The thing Israel earnestly seeks, that he has not obtained. But the election has obtained it, and the rest are blinded. ⁸ As it is written, "God has given them a spirit of deep sleep; eyes not seeing, and ears not hearing, until this present day."

⁸ As it is written, "God has given them a spirit of deep sleep; eyes not seeing, and ears not hearing, until this present day."

¹¹ I ask, then, have they stumbled, that they may fall? By no means. But, through their fall, salvation is given to the Gentiles, to excite them to emulation.

¹¹ I ask, then, have they stumbled, that they may fall? By no means. But, through their fall, salvation is given to the Gentiles, to excite them to emulation. ¹² Now, if the fall of them be the riches of the world; and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?

¹² Now, if the fall of them be the riches of the world; and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?

¹⁴ if by any means I may excite to emulation my kindred, and may save some of them. ¹⁵ For, if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world; what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

¹⁷ Now, if some of the branches were broken off, and you who are a wild olive, are engrafted among them, and are become a joint partaker of the root and fatness of the olive;

¹⁷ Now, if some of the branches were broken off, and you who are a wild olive, are engrafted among them, and are become a joint partaker of the root and fatness of the olive; ¹⁸ boast not against the branches: but if you boast, still, you bear not the root, but the root you.

¹⁸ boast not against the branches: but if you boast, still, you bear not the root, but the root you. ¹⁹ You will say, however, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. ²⁰ True: by unbelief they were broken off, and you by faith, stand. Be not high-minded, but fear.

²³ And even they, if they continued not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if you were cut off from the olive, by nature wild, and were contrary to nature, grafted into the good olive; how much rather shall those who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive? ²⁵ For, brethren, that you may not be, wise in your own conceits, I would not have you ignorant of this secret, that blindness, in part, has happened to Israel, till the fullness of the Gentiles come in.

²⁸ With respect to the gospel, indeed, they are enemies, on your account: but with respect to the election, they are beloved on account of the fathers.

³⁰ Besides, as you, in times past, have disobeyed God, yet now have obtained mercy through their disobedience; ³¹ even so these, also, have no disobeyed, that through your mercy, they also may obtain mercy.

³³ Oh that depth of the riches and of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

¹⁶ Be of the same disposition toward one another. Do not care for high things; but accommodate yourselves to those which are humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

¹⁶ In order to my being a minister of Jesus Christ, among the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that there might be an offering of the Gentiles most acceptable; being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ I have, therefore, glorifying, through Christ Jesus, with respect to things pertaining to God. ¹⁸ But, I will not dare to speak anything of what Christ has not wrought; but, of what he has wrought, by me, in order to the obedience of the Gentiles in word and deed; ¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Holy Spirit: so that from Jerusalem, and round about, as far as Illyricum, I have fully declared the gospel of Christ;

²⁵ Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, concealed in the times of the ages,

²⁷ to the wise God alone, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever. Amen.

²¹ For, when, in the wisdom of God, the world, through wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, through the foolishness of this proclamation, to save them who believe.

¹⁶ For what animal man has known the mind of the Lord, who will instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

⁷ Besides, who makes you to differ? For what have you which you did not receive? And now, if you did receive it, why do you boast as not receiving it?

² Do you not know that the saints are to judge with world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy to decide your petty causes?

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor misers, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified, by the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹⁴ For the infidel husband is sanctified by the wife, and the infidel wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise, certainly, your children were unclean; whereas, indeed, they are holy.

¹⁶ For how do you know, O wife! whether you shall save your husband? And how do you know, O husband! whether you shall save your wife?

²⁵ Now, concerning virgins, I have not a commandment of the Lord: but, I give my judgment, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.

⁶ yet, to us, there is but one God, the Father; of whom all things are, and we for him: and one Lord Jesus Christ; by whom all things are, and we by him.

²⁰ So, to the Jews, I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: to those under the law, (though not under the law) as under the law, that I might gain those under the law: ²¹ to those without law, as without law, (not being without law to God, but under law to Christ,) that I might gain those that are without law. ²² To the weak, I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. To all, I have become all things, that, by all means, I might same some.

¹ Now, I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea:

¹ Now, I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea: ² and all were immersed into Moses, in the cloud and in the sea; ³ and all did eat the same spiritual meat; ⁴ and all did drink the same spiritual drink; (for they drank of the spiritual rock, which followed them, and that rock was Christ.) ⁵ Nevertheless, with the greater part of them, God was not well pleased; for they were cast down in the wilderness. ⁶ Now, these things have become types to us, in order that we should not be lusters after evil things, even as they lusted. ⁷ Neither be you idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat, and to drink, and rose up to dance." ⁸ Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them committed whoredom, and fell, in one day, twenty-three thousand. ⁹ Neither let us grievously tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents. ¹⁰ Neither murmur you, as even some of the murmured, and perished by the destroyer. ¹¹ Now, all these things happened to them as types; and are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come. ¹² Wherefore, let him who thinks he stands, take heed, lest he fall.

¹² Wherefore, let him who thinks he stands, take heed, lest he fall.

¹⁹ What, then, do I affirm? that an idol is anything, or than an idol sacrifice is anything?

¹² Besides, as the woman is from the man, so also, the man is by the woman; but all from God.

¹ Now, concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

² By which, also, you are saved, if you retain those joyful tidings which I delivered to you; unless you believed to no purpose.

¹⁰ But, by the favor of God, I am what I am: and his favor which was bestowed on me, was not vain; for I have labored more abundantly than all of them; yet not I, but the favor of God, which is with me.

²⁴ Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are joint promoters of your joy: for by the faith you stand.

¹⁴ Indeed, their minds were blinded: for, till this day, the same vail remains in the reading of the Old Institution; it not being discovered that it is abolished in Christ.

¹⁴ Indeed, their minds were blinded: for, till this day, the same vail remains in the reading of the Old Institution; it not being discovered that it is abolished in Christ.

¹⁴ Indeed, their minds were blinded: for, till this day, the same vail remains in the reading of the Old Institution; it not being discovered that it is abolished in Christ. ¹⁵ Moreover, till this day, when Moses is read, the vail lies upon their heart.

¹⁵ Moreover, till this day, when Moses is read, the vail lies upon their heart. ¹⁶ But when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken from around it.

¹⁶ But when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken from around it.

¹ Wherefore, having this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not falter;

⁴ among whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might shine into them.

¹⁸ And all these things of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us to the ministry of the reconciliation- ¹⁹ namely, that God was, by Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not counting to them their trespasses, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ We, therefore, execute the office of ambassadors for Christ, as of God beseeching you by us; we pray you, in behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

⁵ overturning reasonings, and every high thing raised up against the knowledge of God; and leading captive every thought to the obedience of Christ;

²² Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

⁵ to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁶ to reveal his Son to me, that I might declare the good news concerning him to the Gentiles; immediately I did not consult flesh and blood:

² And I went up by revelation; and communicated to them the gospel which I proclaimed to the Gentiles; but privately to them who were of reputation; lest, perhaps, I should run, or had run in vain.

⁷ But, on the contrary, perceiving that I was entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, just as Peter was with that of the circumcision; ⁸ (for he who wrought effectually in Peter for the apostleship of the circumcision, also wrought effectually in me for the Gentiles): ⁹ even James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, having perceived the favor granted to me, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we, indeed, should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

¹⁵ We, who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

²¹ I do not set aside the favor of God. For if righteousness is through law, then certainly Christ has died in vain.

²² But the scripture has shut up together all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

²⁹ And if you are Christ's, certainly you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

¹ even you who were dead in trespasses and sins; ² in which you formerly walked, according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air-of the spirit which now effectually works in the children of disobedience;

⁴ But God being rich in mercy, through his great love with which he loved us, ⁵ even us, who were dead in trespasses, he has made alive together with Christ; (by favor you are saved;) ⁶ and has raised us up together, and has set us down together in heavenly places with Christ Jesus; ⁷ that he might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his favor in his kindness toward us by Christ Jesus.

⁷ that he might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his favor in his kindness toward us by Christ Jesus. ⁸ For by favor you are saved through faith; and this salvation not by yourselves; it is the gift of God- ⁹ not by works, that no one may boast.

¹¹ Wherefore, remember that you, formerly Gentiles in the flesh, (those called the uncircumcision, by them called the circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,) ¹² were in the world at that time, without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the institutions of promise; having no hope, and without God: ¹³ but now, in Christ Jesus, you were formerly far off, are brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁹ Now, then, you are no longer strangers and sojourners; but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God:

¹⁹ Now, then, you are no longer strangers and sojourners; but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God: ²⁰ having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the foundation corner stone;

²⁰ having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the foundation corner stone; ²¹ by which the whole building, being fitly compacted together, rises into a holy temple of the Lord;

³ that by revelation the secret was made known to me, (as I wrote before in a few words; ⁴ by which, when you read, you may perceive my knowledge of the secret of Christ,)

⁶ that the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and joint partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel;

⁸ to me, the least of saints, was this favor given, to publish among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ; ⁹ and to make all see what is the administration of the secret, which has been hid from the ages by God, who created all things. ¹⁰ That now, to the government and powers in the heavenly regions, might be made known by the congregation the manifold wisdom of God;

¹⁶ praying that, according to the riches of his glory, he would grant you to be mightily strengthened by his Spirit in the inward man:

¹⁸ may be completely able to apprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,-

²¹ to him be glory in the congregation by Christ Jesus, during all the endless successions of ages. Amen.

⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all, and with all, and in you all. ⁷ But to every one of us is given favor, according to the measure of the gift of Christ; ⁸ (Wherefore he says, Having ascended on high, he captivated captivity, and gave gifts to men. ⁹ Now, this-Having ascended, what is it, unless, indeed, he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth! ¹⁰ He who descended, is the same who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

¹⁸ having their understandings darkened; being alienated from the life of God, through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;

¹⁸ What, then? Still in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; even in this I do rejoice; yes, and will rejoice:

²² But whether to live in the flesh would be to my advantage; or what to choose, I do not know:

¹² Wherefore, my beloved, since you have always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence; effectually work out your own salvation, with fear and trembling;

⁵ Circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;

²⁰ Now, to God, even our Father, be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁵ He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of the whole creation. ¹⁶ Because, by him were created all things which are in the heavens, and which are upon the earth; things visible, and things invisible; whether thrones, or lordships, or governments, or powers; all things were created by him and for him. ¹⁷ And he is before all things; and by him all things consist.

²⁰ and by him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; I say, by him, whether they be things on the earth, or things in the heavens. ²¹ Even you, who were formerly alienated in mind, and enemies by wicked works,

²⁷ to whom God has pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

² that being compacted together in love, their hearts may be comforted, even by all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the secret of God, ³ in whom are laid up all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

⁷ rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

¹³ For you, who were dead on account of trespasses, and by the uncircumcision of your flesh, he had made alive together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses:-

⁷ in which you also formerly walked, when you lived with them.

¹⁵ who both killed the Lord, and the prophets, and have greatly persecuted us, and do not please God, and are contrary to all men; ¹⁶ hindering us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved; so that they fill up their iniquities always: but the wrath of God is coming upon them at length.

⁵ For this reason also, no longer concealing my anxiety, I sent to know your faith; lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you, and our labor have become in vain.

⁸ For now we live, when you stand firm in the Lord.

⁴ who opposes and exalts himself against every one called a god, or an object of worship; so that he places himself in the temple of God, openly exhibiting himself, that he is a god.

¹⁰ and with all the deceit of unrighteousness among the destroyed; because they did not embrace the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ For this cause, God will send them strong delusion, that they may believe a lie; ¹² that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in iniquity. ¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God has, from the beginning, chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of spirit, and belief of truth; ¹⁴ to which he called you, by our gospel, that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God alone, be honor and glory, for ever and ever. Amen. ¹⁸ This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before you, concerning you, that we may carry on, through them, the good warfare;

⁴ who wills all men to be saved, and to come to an acknowledgment of the truth.

⁴ who wills all men to be saved, and to come to an acknowledgment of the truth. ⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, -the man Christ Jesus, ⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all; -of which the testimony is in its proper season: ⁷ for which I was appointed a herald and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not falsify,) a teacher to the Gentiles in faith and truth.

¹⁶ Take heed to yourself, and to your doctrine; continue in them; for in doing this, you will both save yourself, and them who hear you.

¹⁶ who only has immortality-dwelling in light inaccessible; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and might everlasting. Amen. ¹⁷ Charge the rich in the present world not to be elated in mind, nor to trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who confers on us richly all things for enjoyment-

¹⁷ Charge the rich in the present world not to be elated in mind, nor to trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who confers on us richly all things for enjoyment- ¹⁸ to do good, to be rich in lovely works, ready to distribute, communicative, ¹⁹ providing for themselves a good foundation for hereafter, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

⁹ who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, -not on account of our works; but on account of his own purpose and favor, which was given us through Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,

¹¹ of which I am appointed a herald, and an Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles: ¹² for which cause I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed; for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to preserve what I have committed in trust to him, till that day.

¹⁰ For this cause I patiently bear all things on account of the elect; that they, indeed, may obtain the salvation which is by Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

³ without natural affection, bargain-breakers, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, haters of good men, ⁴ headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; ⁵ having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it. Now, from these, turn away.

¹⁸ And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and preserve me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

³ For even we ourselves were formerly foolish, disobedient, erring, slavishly serving diverse inordinate desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. ⁴ But when the goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour shone forth, ⁵ he saved us-not on account of works of righteousness which we had done-but according to his own mercy, through the bath of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Spirit;

⁵ he saved us-not on account of works of righteousness which we had done-but according to his own mercy, through the bath of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ that being justified by his favor, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

¹² whom I have sent back: do you, therefore, receive him as an object of my tenderest affection;

¹ God, who in ancient times, spoke often, and in various ways, to the fathers, by the prophets,

² For if the word spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received a just retribution;

¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, to make him, who leads many sons to glory-even the Captain of their Salvation-perfect through sufferings.

⁶ but Christ, as a Son, over his own house-whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence, and the rejoicing of our hope, unshaken to the end.

¹² Brethren, take heed, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, by departing from the living God.

¹⁴ (for we are all partakers of Christ, if, indeed, we hold fast this first confidence firm to the end;)

¹⁹ So, we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

⁶ Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and that they who first received the good tidings, did not enter in on account of unbelief:

¹¹ Wherefore let us carefully strive to enter into THIS REST, lest any one should fall after the same example of unbelief.

²¹ (for they, indeed, were make priests without an oath, but he, with an oath, by him who said to him, "The Lord has sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedec,")

⁸ But, finding fault, he says to them, "Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will make a new institution with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: ⁹ not according to the institution which I made with their fathers, at the time of my taking them by the hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt-because they did not abide in my institution, I also neglected them, says the Lord. ¹⁰ Now this is the institution which I will make with the house of Israel, after these days, says the Lord. I will put my laws into their mind, and inscribe them on their hearts, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. ¹² Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."

¹⁶ "This is the institution which I will make with them after these days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their hearts, and inscribe them on their minds"; he adds,

²³ let us hold fast the confession of the hope unmoved; for he is faithful, who has promised.

³⁵ Wherefore, cast not away your confidence, which has a great retribution. ³⁶ For you must persevere in doing the will of God, that you may obtain the promised reward. ³⁷ For yet a very little while, and He who is coming, will come, and will not tarry. ³⁸ Now, the just by faith shall live; but if he draw, my soul will not be well pleased with him. ³⁹ We, however, are not of those who apostatize to perdition; but of those who persevere to the salvation of the soul.

¹⁷ And you know, that although afterward he wished to inherit the blessing, he was reprobated: for he found no scope for effecting a change, though he earnestly sought it with tears.

²¹ make you fit for every good work, to do his will, producing in you what is acceptable in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom we the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁸ Of his own will, he begot us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of fruits of his creatures.

¹⁹ You believe that there is one God; you do well: even the demons believe and tremble.

⁶ But he gives greater favor. For it says, "God resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble."

²⁰ let him know what he who converts a sinner from the error of his way, shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

² according to the predetermination of God the Father, by a sanctification of the Spirit, in order to obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Favor and peace be multiplied to you.

¹⁷ And seeing you call on the Father, who, without respect of persons, judges according to every man's work-pass the time of your sojourning here, in fear;

¹¹ to him be the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. ¹² By Sylvanus, a faithful brother, (as I conclude,) I have written to you in few words, exhorting you, and strongly testifying that this is the true favor of God, in which you stand.

⁴ For God, indeed, did not spare the angels who sinned, but with chains of darkness confining them in Tartarus, delivered them over to be kept for judgment;

⁴ For God, indeed, did not spare the angels who sinned, but with chains of darkness confining them in Tartarus, delivered them over to be kept for judgment; ⁵ and did not spare the old world, but saved Noah, the eighth, a proclaimer of righteousness, when he brought the flood upon the world of the ungodly; ⁶ and having reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, punished them with an overthrow, making them an example to those who should afterward live ungodly: ⁷ and rescued righteous Lot, exceedingly grieved by the lewd behavior of the lawless: ⁸ (for; -that righteous man, dwelling among them, by the sight and report of their unlawful deeds, tormented his righteous soul from day to day;) ⁹ the Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unrighteous to a day of judgment to be punished;

¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven by a tempest; for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved forever:

⁸ But this one thing, let it not escape you, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

¹⁸ But grow in favor, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

¹⁹ They went away from us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, they would have abode with us; but they went away, that they might be made manifest that they were not of us.

⁵ I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you formerly knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them who did not believe. ⁶ Also, the angels who kept not their first estate, but left their proper habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, to the judgment of the great day.

¹³ raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved.

²⁰ But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying with a holy spirit; ²¹ keep yourselves in the love of God, expecting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to eternal life.

²⁵ to God, alone our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now, and throughout all ages. Amen.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who has loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, ⁶ and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

⁵ Remember, therefore, from what you are fallen, and reform, and do the first works, otherwise I will come to you quickly, and take away your lamp out of its place, unless you reform.

¹⁷ Because you say, I am wealthy, and have enriched myself, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are wretched and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits upon the throne, who lives for ever and ever; and they cast down their crowns before the throne, saying, ¹¹ Worthy art thou, O Lord, to receive glory, and honor, and power; for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are, and were created.

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 such as are in the sea, even all things that are in them, I heard saying, To him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and strength, for ever and ever! ¹⁴ And the four living creatures said, Amen: and the elders fell down and worshiped him.

⁹ After this, I saw, and beheld a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation, and tribe, and people, and language, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands; ¹⁰ and they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!

⁷ But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel; when he shall begin to sound, then the secret of God, as he had revealed its glad tidings to his servants the prophets, should be fulfilled.

⁴ These are the two olive trees, and the two lamps, which stand before the Lord of the earth.

¹¹ And after three days and a half, the breath of life from God, entered into them, and they stood upon their feet: and great fear fell on those who looked upon them.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of the world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of the world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. ¹⁶ And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshiped God, ¹⁷ saying, We give thanks to thee, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and who wast, because thou hast taken by great power, and hast commenced thy reign. ¹⁸ And the nations were wroth; and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead when they should be judged, and a reward should be given to thy servants, the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, small and great; and when thou shouldst destroy those that destroy the earth. ¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his covenants appeared in his temple: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

⁴ These are they who have not been polluted with women; for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, as the first fruits to God, and to the Lamb.

⁷ In proportion to the degree in which she has made ostentation of her glory, and lived in luxury, inflict upon her torment and grief. Because she has said in her heart, I sit as a queen, and am not a widow, and shall not see sorrow;

¹ And after these things, I heard the voice as of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah! salvation, and glory, and power, to the Lord our God;

⁶ And I heard a sound, which was as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and like the peal of mighty thunderings, saying, Hallelujah! for the Lord God, the Omnipotent, reigns! ⁷ We rejoice, and exult, and give glory to him, because the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has prepared herself.

² And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; ³ and he cast him into the abyss, and shut him down, and set a seal upon him, that he might not deceive the nations any more, till the thousand years were accomplished; and then he must be loosed again for a little time. ⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them-even the souls of them who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast, nor his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads, and upon their hands; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years:

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them-even the souls of them who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast, nor his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads, and upon their hands; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years: ⁵ but the rest of the dead revived not till the thousand years were accomplished: this is the first resurrection. ⁶ Happy and holy is he who has a part in the first resurrection! on such, the second death shall have no power; but they shall be the priests of God, and of Christ: and they shall reign with him a thousand years.

⁶ And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End: I will give to him that is athirst, of the fountain of the water of life freely.
