³⁴ "The son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!' ³⁵ "Nevertheless, wisdom is justified by all her children." ³⁶ One of the Pharisees kept urging him to dine, so he entered the house and reclined at table. ³⁷ Now there was a woman who was in the city, a sinner and when she knew that that Jesus was reclining at meat in the Pharisees house, she brought an alabaster vase of perfume,

³⁷ Now there was a woman who was in the city, a sinner and when she knew that that Jesus was reclining at meat in the Pharisees house, she brought an alabaster vase of perfume, ³⁸ and standing behind, at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with her hair, while she tenderly kissed his feet, and poured the perfume over them. ³⁹ When he noticed this the Pharisee, who had invited him, said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet he would have perceived who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, and would know that she is a sinner."

³⁹ When he noticed this the Pharisee, who had invited him, said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet he would have perceived who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, and would know that she is a sinner."

⁴² "When they had nothing pay he forgave them with such charm. "Tell me, then, which of these will love him most?" ⁴³ "I take it," said Simon, "the one he forgave the most." ⁴⁴ "You have rightly judged." answered Jesus, and turning to the woman, he said to Simon. "Do you see this woman? When I came into your house you gave me no water for my feet; but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. ⁴⁵ "You gave me no kiss; but she, since she came in, has never ceased tenderly kissing my feet; ⁴⁶ "you never anointed my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with my feet with perfume. ⁴⁷ "This is why I tell you that her sins, many as they are, are forgiven, for her love is great; but he who is forgiven little, loves but little.

¹⁸ "Take heed, then, how you listen. for he who has, to him shall it be given, but from him who has not, shall be taken away even what he has."

³⁷ And the whole populace of Gadarenes and the surrounding territory besought Jesus to go away from them; for they were terror-stricken. So he entered a boat and returned.

⁴¹ for they were all waiting for him. Just then there came a man named Jarius, and he was ruler in the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come into his house; ⁴² for he had only one daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he went the crowds continued to press in on him.

⁴⁸ "Daughter," he said "your faith has made you well, go on into peace." ⁴⁹ As he was speaking some one came from the house of the synagogue, saying. "Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Master."

⁵² The people were weeping and bewailing her, but he said: "Stop your wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep." ⁵³ They began to laugh him to scorn, because they knew well that she was dead. ⁵⁴ But he took her by the hand and called to her, "Little daughter, rise!" ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned and instantly she stood up.

¹⁹ "John the Baptist," they answered, "But others say Elijah, and others that one of the ancient prophets is risen again."

³⁸ and a man called out of the crowd saying. "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son; for he is my only boy,

⁴⁸ then he said to them. "Whoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me; and whoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For it is the lowliest among you all who is great."

¹ After this the appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two before his face, into every city and place into which he himself intended to go.

²³ And turning to his disciples he said privately. "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! ²⁴ "For I tell you that many prophets and kings have longed to see what you see, and have seen it; and to hear what you hear, and have heard it not.'

³⁸ It happened as they went on their way that he entered into a certain village were a woman named Martha received him into her house.

⁴ "Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."

³⁷ When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.

¹⁷ "So he debated with himself saying, 'What shall I do? for I have no place in which to store my crops.'

⁴⁸ "but he who did not know, but did things worthy of a beating, will receive few lashes. To whom much has been given, from him much will be required, and to whom much is entrusted, of him they will ask the more.

⁴ "Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than the rest of those who lived in Jerusalem?

¹⁵ But the Lord answered him. "Hypocrites!" he said, "does not each one of you loose his ox or his ass from the stall on the Sabbath Day, and lead it to water,

³⁴ "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!

¹ It happened on the Sabbath Day when he went into the house of a certain ruler among Pharisees to take a meal, that they were watching him.

² And the Pharisees and Scribes began to complain, saying, "He is welcoming sinners and eating with them!"

¹⁹ "'"I am no more worthy to be called your son; only make me like one of your hired men."' ²⁰ "So he arose and went to his father; but while he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. ²¹ "The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight and am no more worthy to be called your son.'

²⁸ "But he was angry and would not go in; so his father came out, and attempted to plead with him; but he said to his father. ²⁹ "'All these years I have been slaving for you and never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you never gave me even a kid so that I might make merry with my friends. ³⁰ "'But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with harlots, you have killed him the fatted calf.'

³ "Now the steward said to himself. 'What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my stewardship? I am not strong enough to dig, to beg I am ashamed.

¹⁶ "The Law and the Prophet lasted until John; since then the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and any one presses in.

⁵ The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

¹² And as he was going certain village ten lepers met him. ¹³ They stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, take pity on us." ¹⁴ Perceiving this he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priest." And as they went they were made clean. ¹⁵ Now one of them, as he saw that he was cured, came back, glorifying God in a loud voice, ¹⁶ and he fell on his face at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ "Were there not ten cleansed?" asked Jesus, "but where are the nine? ¹⁸ "Are there none found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner?" ¹⁹ And he said unto him, "Rise and go, your faith has healed you."

⁴ "For a while he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, 'Though I have neither reverence for God nor regard for man,

⁹ Moreover he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, and looked down upon the rest. ¹⁰ "Two men are going up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, the other a tax-gatherer. ¹¹ "The Pharisee stood apart and thus began to pray by himself. "'O God, I thank thee that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax gatherer;

¹³ "But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God be merciful to me, the sinner!'

¹⁸ A ruler put this question to him. "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

³⁵ As Jesus drew near to Jericho, there was a blind man who sat by the wayside begging. ³⁶ He heard the crowd passing and asked what the matter was. ³⁷ They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." ³⁸ Then he shouted out, saying, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me!" ³⁹ Those who went ahead began to reprove him and to tell him to be still; but he kept clamorously shouting all the more, "Son of David, take pity on me!" ⁴⁰ So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. When he was come near to him he asked him ⁴¹ "What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord," he answered, "that I might see again." ⁴² "Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you."

⁴² "Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you." ⁴³ Instantly he regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people who saw it gave praise to God.

⁷ When they all saw it, they began to complain, saying "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."

⁴⁴ "you and your children within you. And they will not leave in you one stone upon the another. Because you knew not the time of your visitation."

⁶ "And if we say, 'From man,' all the people will stone us, for they were persuaded that John was a prophet."

²⁰ So they watched him, and sent spies who pretended to be honest men, in order to seize on his speech, and to deliver him up to authority and jurisdiction of the governor. ²¹ So they put a question to him saying. "Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not regard any man's person, but teach the way of God honestly.

³⁵ "but those who are counted worthy to reach that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

⁶¹ Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter, and Peter recollected the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, "This very day, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times." ⁶² And Peter went outside and wept with bitter crying.

⁴⁷ When the army captain saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "This man was really innocent!"

¹⁹ "What kind of things?" he answered. And they said: "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

³⁴ saying, "The Lord is really risen, and has appeared to Simon!"

²¹ "What then?" they questioned; "Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he replied.

²³ He said, "I am a voice of one who cries aloud in the desert, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as said the prophet Isaiah."

²⁵ so they questioned him, saying, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

² Jesus also was invited to the wedding, and his disciples.

² This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him. "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these signs which you are continually doing, unless God is with him."

²⁶ "Rabbi, see! The man who was with you on the other side of Jordan, and to whom you yourself have borne testimony, is now baptizing, and everybody is coming to him."

²⁶ "Rabbi, see! The man who was with you on the other side of Jordan, and to whom you yourself have borne testimony, is now baptizing, and everybody is coming to him." ²⁷ In reply John said: "A man cannot obtain anything unless it has been granted to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but have been sent before him.' ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. So then this joy of mine has now complete fulfilment. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.

¹⁹ "I see, Sir, that you are a prophet," replied the woman.

²⁵ "I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything."

⁴⁶ So he came back again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. Now there was one of the king's officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum. ⁴⁷ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and heal his son who was lying at the point of death.

⁴⁷ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and heal his son who was lying at the point of death.

⁵⁰ Jesus answered. "Go your way. Your son lives." And the man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and started to go home. ⁵¹ And when he was already on his way down, his slaves met him, saying that his boy was living. ⁵² So he asked them at what hour he had begun mend. They answered, "Yesterday, about one o'clock, the fever left him." ⁵³ Then the father realized that it had left him at the very hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son lives," and he himself believed, and his whole household.

²¹ "For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, even so the Son makes whom he will alive.

²⁵ "Solemnly I tell you that the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall live.

²⁸ "Do not wonder at this, because an hour is coming in which all who are in their graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth again; ²⁹ "those who have done good into a resurrection of life, and those who have practised evil to a resurrection of condemnation.

³⁵ "That man was the Lamp-burning and shining—and you were willing for a time rejoice in his light.

¹⁴ So when the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, "This is in the truth the Prophet who is to come into the world."

⁶⁰ So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said: "This teaching is unbelievable! Who can listen to him?" ⁶¹ Jesus, conscious within himself that his disciples were finding fault with him about his teaching, said to them. ⁶² "Does this displease you? What then if you were to behold the Son of man ascending to where he was before? ⁶³ "The spirit is what gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words which I have been speaking to you, are spirit and are life. ⁶⁴ "Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who should betray him. ⁶⁵ So he added, "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the Father." ⁶⁶ Therefore many of his disciples drew back and no longer companied with him.

¹² and there was much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

⁴⁰ Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet." ⁴¹ Other said, "He is the Christ." But others were saying. "Surely the Christ is not to come out of Galilee, is he?

⁴⁷ "Surely you have not been led astray, have you? answered the Pharisees. ⁴⁸ "Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ "As for this mob who do not understand the Law, they are accursed!" ⁵⁰ Nicodemus, one of their number, he who had formerly visited Jesus, said to them, ⁵¹ "Our law does not condemn the accused, does it, before hearing his defense, and finding out what he is doing?" ⁵² In answer they said to him. "You are not from Galilee, are you? Search for yourself, and see that from Galilee arises no prophet."

⁴⁸ In reply the Jews said to him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and you also have a demon?"

⁵² "Now we know that you have a demon," exclaimed the Jews. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say, 'If any man obeys my teaching he shall never taste death.'

¹⁷ So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.

²⁴ So the Jews a second time summoned the man who had been blind, and said to him.

³⁰ "This is truly astonishing," said the man in reply, "that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes. ³¹ "We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is God-fearing and does his will, to such he listens.

³¹ "We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is God-fearing and does his will, to such he listens. ³² "Since the beginning of the world such a thing as opening the eyes of one who was born blind was never heard of. ³³ "If this man had not come of God he could have done nothing."

²⁰ Many of them kept saying. "He has a demon and is mad! Why do you listen to him?"

² it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.

³ So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill." ⁴ When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified." ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. ⁶ However, when he heard that he was ill, ⁷ he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea." ⁸ "Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?" ⁹ Jesus replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds the light of this world; ¹⁰ but if any one walks during the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him." ¹¹ This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him." ¹² "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples. ¹³ Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep. ¹⁴ So then he told them plainly. ¹⁵ "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, let us go to him." ¹⁶ Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him."

¹⁹ so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother.

²⁵ "I am the resurrection and the life," said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live.

³³ Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated. ³⁴ "Where have you laid him?" he said: "Master, come and see," they answered. ³⁵ Jesus burst into tears.

⁴³ When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" ⁴⁴ Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie him, and let him go."

¹ So then Jesus came six days before the Passover, to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead. ² So they gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served it; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined with him at table.

² So they gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served it; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined with him at table. ³ Then Mary took a pound of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over his feet, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. ⁴ Then said Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him, ⁵ "Why was not this perfume sold for fifty dollars, and the proceeds given to the poor?" ⁶ This he said not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, carrying the purse, ⁷ used to purloin what was put in it. Then said Jesus. "Let her alone. Against the day of my burial has she kept this; ⁸ for the poor you have with you always, but me you have not always."

⁴ and was now going to God, rose from supper, laid aside his upper garments, and took a towel and girded himself. ⁵ Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which he had girded himself.

¹³ "Do you understand what I have been doing to you? You call me 'Teacher' and 'Master', and you say well, for such I am.

²² "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ "He who hates me hates my Father also. ²⁴ "If I had not done among them such works as none ever did, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

¹⁹ Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and said: "Are you questioning one another about my saying, 'A little while and you shall behold me no more, and again a little while you shall see me'?

³⁰ Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need for any one to question you; by this we believe that you came forth from God."

¹³ They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She answered, "Because they have taken away my Master, and I do not know where they have laid him."

¹⁵ Jesus said to her. "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have borne him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away, myself."

¹⁵ When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs." ¹⁶ He said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." "Be a shepherd to my sheep," said Jesus. ¹⁷ The third time Jesus asked him, "Am I really dear to you?" Peter was grieved because the third time he asked, "Am I really dear to you?" and he answered, "Master, you know all things, you know that you are dear to me."

¹³ But others were saying with jeer, "These men are full of sweet wine."

² when a man lame from his birth was carried along, who was wont to be laid each day near the gate of the Temple called the Beautiful Gate, to ask alms of those who were going into the Temple. ³ When he saw Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he kept asking them for alms; ⁴ Peter fixed his eyes upon him, as did John, and said, "Look at us." ⁵ So he waited, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said: ⁶ "I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have, this I am going to give to you; in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk!" ⁷ Then taking his right hand he lifted him up. Instantly his feet and ankle-bones were strengthened; ⁸ and leaping forth he stood on his feet, and began to walk, and went with them into the Temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

²² "Moses, for example, said: "The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brothers, as he raised up me; you must listen to whatever he may tell you; ²³ "and it shall be that every soul who will not listen to that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.

⁵ As Ananias heard these words he fell down and expired, and all who heard were awe-struck.

¹¹ And great fear fell on all the church and upon all who had heard it. ¹² Many signs and wonders continued to be wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles, and by common consent they all would meet in Solomon's Porch, ¹³ but none of the rest dared to associate with them.

³¹ "Him God has exalted at his right hand as Prince and Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.

³⁷ "It was this Moses who said to the Children of Israel, "God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brothers, as he did me.

⁷ For with a loud cry unclean spirits would come out of many possessed by them, and many that were palsied and lame were healed.

³⁹ So Peter arose and went with them. On his arrival they took him up-stairs, and all the widows stood near him, weeping, and showing him the cloaks and garments which Dorcas used to make, while she was still with them. ⁴⁰ But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down, and prayed; and then turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, rise!" She opened her eyes, and on seeing Peter she sat up. ⁴¹ Then he gave her his hand and raised her up, and after calling the saints and the widows, he gave her back to them alive.

⁴¹ Then he gave her his hand and raised her up, and after calling the saints and the widows, he gave her back to them alive.

¹ Now there was at Caesarea a man named Cornelius, a captain in the Italian regiment.

⁷ And after the angel who was speaking to him was gone, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier who was in constant attendance upon him,

⁷ And after the angel who was speaking to him was gone, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier who was in constant attendance upon him, ⁸ and after telling them everything, he sent them to Joppa.

³⁸ "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about everywhere doing good, and curing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.

³⁸ "Be it known unto you therefore, brothers, that remission of sins is proclaimed to you through this man; ³⁹ "and that by him every one that believes is justified from all things from which you could never be justified by the law of Moses.

⁸ Now at Lystra there used to sit a certain man, lame in his feet, a cripple from birth, who had never walked. ⁹ He was listening while Paul was preaching, and Paul, looking intently at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be made whole, ¹⁰ said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet!"

²⁵ He had been instructed in the ways of the Lord, and being full of zeal, he used to speak and to teach accurately the facts about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

³ "Into what, then, were you baptized?" he asked. And they said, "Into the baptism of John."

²⁷ I never shrank from telling you the whole counsel of God.

²⁵ But when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing near, "If a man is a Roman citizen, and uncondemned, is it lawful for you to scourge him?" ²⁶ When the centurion heard that, he went to the tribune and said to him. "What are you intending to do? This man is a Roman citizen."

²⁶ When the centurion heard that, he went to the tribune and said to him. "What are you intending to do? This man is a Roman citizen."

¹⁷ And Paul called one of the centurions, and said, "Take this young man to the tribune, for he has something to tell him."

²³ Then he called two centurions to him and said: "Get ready by nine o'clock tonight two hundred infantry to march as far as Caesarea, and also seventy troopers and two hundred spearmen."

²⁶ "Claudius Lysais unto the Most Excellent Governor Felix, greeting.

²³ And he gave orders to the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, but treated with indulgence, and that his personal friends were not to be forbidden to minister to him.

²⁶ "Now I have nothing very definite to tell our sovereign about him. So I have brought the man before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, in order that, after examination, I may have something to write.

¹⁸ "'so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order to receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

¹ When it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to hand over Paul and a few other prisoners to the custody of Julius, a centurion of the Imperial Regiment.

³ The next day we touched at Sidon. There Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to visit his friends and refresh himself.

⁴³ But the centurion kept them from their purpose, because he wished to save Paul. He gave orders that those who could swim should first jump overboard and get to land;

¹ What special privilege, then, has the Jew? Or what is the use of circumcision? ² Much in every way. First of all, because to them were entrusted the oracles of God. ³ Supposing some of them have proved faithless? ⁴ By no means! Be sure that God is ever true, though all mankind prove false. As it is written, That thou mayest be found just in thine argument, And gain thy cause when thou contendest. ⁵ But if our unrighteousness thus brings out God's righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous—I speak after the manner of men—when he inflicts his anger on us? ⁶ Be it far from us; for in that case how could God judge the world?

²³ since all have sinned and lack the glory which comes from God; ²⁴ but they are now being justified by his free grace through the deliverance that is in Christ Jesus.

⁵ but a man who does not "work," but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, has his faith imputed to him for righteousness. ⁶ Just as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from actions. ⁷ Blessed he says are they whose iniquities have been forgiven, And whose sins have been covered. ⁸ Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

¹⁷ as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations.

¹ Since we stand justified as the result of faith, let us continue to enjoy the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ² Through him also we have had our access into this grace in which we have taken our stand, and are exulting in hope of the glory of God.

⁶ For while we were still without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly.

⁸ But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

²⁰ Now law was brought in so that transgression might abound; but where sin abounded, grace super-abounded;

⁴ For they are Israelites; to them belong the sonship, the Shekinah glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law; the service of the temple, and the promises; ⁵ theirs are the patriarchs, and of them, as concerning the flesh, is Christ, who is over all, God, blessed forever, Amen.

³² And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but thought to gain it by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling; ³³ even as it is written. Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; but he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame.

³ For because they were ignorant of God's righteousness, and sought to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit themselves to the righteousness of God.

²¹ But to Israel he says, All day long I have been spreading out my hands unto a disobedient and contrary people.

¹⁶ Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

²¹ For when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe. ²² Jews continue to ask for miracles and Greeks are ever wanting philosophy, ²³ but we come preaching a crucified Messiah—to Jews a stumbling-block, to Greeks foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For consider your own calling, brothers, that not many wise in earthly wisdom, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, have been called. ²⁷ No, God has chosen the world's folly to confound its philosophy; and the world's weakness to confound its strength. ²⁸ The world's base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are;

¹⁴ The unspiritual man rejects the teachings of God's Spirit; for him it is folly. He cannot understand it, for it is spiritually discerned,

¹⁴ The unspiritual man rejects the teachings of God's Spirit; for him it is folly. He cannot understand it, for it is spiritually discerned, ¹⁵ But the spiritual man discerns everything, yet is himself discerned by no one.

⁹ Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. None who are immoral, or idolaters, or adulterers, or catamites, or sodomites, ¹⁰ or thieves, or avaricious men, or drunkards, or foul-mouthed men, or extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ Such were some of you, but you have washed away your stains, you have been consecrated, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

³⁰ let those who weep be as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess,

³⁰ This is why many among you are feeble and sickly, and many sleep. ³¹ If however, we were judging ourselves aright, we should not now be condemned; ³² but through our condemnation by the Lord, we are trained so that we may not be condemned;

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, I who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and that grace of his, bestowed upon me, did not prove ineffectual. I labored more abundantly than all the rest, yet not I, but by the grace of God that is with me.

²⁰ All the brothers send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

¹⁷ In purposing this did I display "caprice"? Or what I purpose do I purpose in a worldly way, so that it may mean either "Yes, yes," or "No, no"? ¹⁸ As God is faithful, my message to you is not now "Yes," now "No." ¹⁹ For Jesus Christ, Son of God, who was proclaimed among you by us, that is, by Silvanus and Timothy and me, was not wavering between "Yes" and "No," but in him is the everlasting "Yes." ²⁰ For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him let the Amen be said by our voices to the glory of God.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ overmasters me; because I thus judge that if One has died for all, then all have died;

¹⁴ For the love of Christ overmasters me; because I thus judge that if One has died for all, then all have died; ¹⁵ and that he died for all in order that the living may live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again for them.

¹ As a worker with him I beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

¹⁰ For your pain came from God, and so you took no harm from me. For the pain which is from God works repentance leading to salvation, a repentance never to be regretted. But the world's pain works death. ¹¹ Note the results of this pain which God permitted; what earnestness it has called forth in you, what explanations, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what fervor, what punishment of wrong. In every way you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter.

²⁴ And they were giving glory to God on my account.

²¹ I do not annul the grace of God; for if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ died Christ for nothing.

¹⁰ but a curse rests on those who have their root in the works of the Law; for it is written. Cursed is every one that continues not in all the things written in the Book of the Law, to do them.

⁶ because in Christ neither circumcision has any value, nor uncircumcision, but faith which works through love.

⁷ It is in him we have deliverance, the forgiveness of our trespasses, through his blood;

¹¹ It is he in whom we Jews also have our inheritance, having been chosen beforehand according to the purpose of Him who executes all things according to the counsel of his will,

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is God's gift. ⁹ It is not of works, so that any one can boast of it; ¹⁰ for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, that I should proclaim among the Gentiles the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ; ⁹ and should make all men see the new dispensation of that secret purpose, hidden from eternity in the God who founded the universe,

¹⁴ So we shall no longer be children, tossed up and down, and blown about by every wind of teaching, tricked by the craft of men in the snares of misleading error;

³² and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ has forgiven you.

¹² For it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by such men in secret;

²⁴ May grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with sincerity.

⁹ And it is my prayer that your love may abound yet more and more in intelligence and insight

²⁵ It is of this I was made a minister, according to the stewardship entrusted to me by God for you, fully to declare God's message; ²⁶ that secret truth, which, although hidden from ages and generations of old, has now been made manifest to his saints. ²⁷ To them God willed to make known among the Gentiles how glorious are the riches of that secret truth, which is "Christ in you, the hope of glory."

¹³ bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as Christ the Lord forgave you, so must you forgive.

²² Slaves, obey in all things your earthly masters, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of purpose, out of reverence for your Lord.

²² Slaves, obey in all things your earthly masters, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of purpose, out of reverence for your Lord.

¹³ But I would not have you ignorant, brothers, about those who are falling asleep. You must not sorrow like other men, who have no hope.

²⁶ Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

⁹ but he must remember that the Law is not enacted for a good man, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the irreligious and sinful, for the godless and profane, for parricides and murderers,

¹³ although I had formerly been a blasphemer and a persecutor and a doer of outrage. But I obtained mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners"! And there is no greater sinner than I!

¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners"! And there is no greater sinner than I! ¹⁶ Yet for this very cause I obtained mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might display all his boundless patience as an illustration for those who should later believe in him, and so gain life eternal.

⁴ but if any widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn to show their piety first toward their own household, and to make some return to their parents, for that is pleasing in God's sight. ⁵ Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has fixed her hope on God, and devotes herself to supplications and prayers, day and night.

¹⁰ She must be well reputed for good works, as one who has brought up a family, received strangers with hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved the distressed, and diligently followed every good work.

¹ Let those who are under the yoke as slaves esteem their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teachings be not blasphemed. ² Those whose masters are Christian believers must not treat them with disrespect, because they are brothers; nay, rather slave for them the better because those who get the benefit of their services are believing and beloved. Continue to teach and preach this.

¹⁰ I beseech you for my son, Onesimus, whom I have begotten in these chains.

¹⁷ And so it was necessary that he should in all points be made like his brothers, so that he might become a compassionate and faithful high priest, in all that relates to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹⁵ For we have not a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.

³⁹ Yet, though these all had witness borne to them by their faith, they received not the promise; ⁴⁰ since it was for us that God had in store some better thing, so that apart from us they should not be perfected.

⁶ For it is those whom he loves that he disciplines, And he scourges every son whom he acknowledges.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, without wavering; for he who wavers is like a surge of the sea, wind-driven and tossed. ⁷ Such a man need not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, ⁸ double-minded as he is, unstable at every turn.

²⁷ and undefiled before our God and Father, to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and ever to keep himself unspotted from the world.

⁵ Listen, my dear brothers, has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and to inherit the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him? ⁶ But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you to court?

¹⁴ My brothers, what good is it if any one says that he has faith, if he has no deeds? Can such faith save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or sister be naked and in need of daily food, ¹⁶ and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, find warmth and food for yourselves," but at the same time you do not give the necessaries of the body, what good would that do them? ¹⁷ In just the same way faith, if it have not deeds, is by itself a lifeless thing. ¹⁸ Some one indeed may say, "You have faith, and I have deeds." "Then show me your faith," I answer, "apart from any deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds." ¹⁹ You believe that God is one? You do well; even the demons believe, and they shudder. ²⁰ But do you want to be convinced, O foolish man, that faith apart from deeds is barren? ²¹ Was not Abraham our ancestor justified by deeds, in that he offered up Isaac, his son, upon the altar? ²² You see how faith was cooperating with deeds, and faith was made perfect by deeds. ²³ And the Scripture was fulfilled which said, And Abraham believed God, and this was imputed to him as righteousness, and he was called God's friend. ²⁴ You see, then, that it is by his deeds a man is justified, and not simply by his faith. ²⁵ In like manner was not Rahab, the harlot, justified by her deeds, in the fact that she received the messengers and sent them forth by another way? ²⁶ So just as the body without a spirit is dead, so faith is dead without deeds.

⁶ But he gives more and more grace. therefore it is said, God ever resists the proud; but to the humble he gives grace continually.

⁹ Lament and mourn, and weep aloud! Let your laughter be turned into mourning, And your joy into gloom! ¹⁰ Humble yourselves before the Lord, And he will raise you up.

¹⁴ Is any in good spirits? Let him sing unto his harp. Is any one of you ill? Let him send for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; ¹⁵ and the prayer of faith will restore the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him.

¹⁰ Concerning this salvation the Prophets who prophesied regarding the grace intended for you, diligently sought and searched. ¹¹ They were searching to know to what time, or to what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them kept pointing, when he ever testified beforehand concerning the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. ¹² It was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were ministering the truths which have now been announced to you, by those who preached the gospel to you, through the help of the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven—truths into which angels long to look.

⁷ For you, then, that believe, is the preciousness; but for those who do not believe, A stone which the builders rejected, The same has become the head stone of the corner, ⁸ and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense. They stumble over it because they are disobeying God's word, and to this they were also appointed.

³ Your adornment ought not to be the outward adornment of plaited hair and golden jewels and the wearing of beautiful dresses; ⁴ but rather that hidden personality of the heart, the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit, which in the sight of God is indeed precious.

¹⁸ If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

¹⁷ Such men are like waterless springs, or mists storm-driven; for them the blackness of darkness has been reserved.

¹⁷ Do you therefore, beloved, because you know these things beforehand, be on your guard lest you be led astray by the error of the wicked, and so fall from your own stedfastness.

⁷ But is we are passing our life in the light, as he is in the light, we ever have partnership with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ is cleansing us from every sin. ⁸ If we say, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. ⁹ But if we confess our sins, faithful is he and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all wrong-doing. ¹⁰ If we say, "We have not sinned," we are making him a liar, and his word is not in us.

¹⁴ We know that we have migrated, out of death into life, because we love our brothers. He who has no love is abiding in death.

¹⁸ My children, let us not love in word nor in talk, but in deed and in truth.

¹⁸ My children, let us not love in word nor in talk, but in deed and in truth. ¹⁹ By this we shall come to know that we are really of the truth,

¹⁹ We love because He loved us first.

¹ Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father, loves him also who is the Father's Child. ² By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. ³ For love to God means obeying his commandments; and his commandments are not irksome.

³ For love to God means obeying his commandments; and his commandments are not irksome.

⁴ Yet you have a few names in Sardis that have not defiled their garment; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

³ And I will give power to my two witnesses, and clothed in sackcloth they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

³ They were singing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying. "Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are thy ways, Thou King of kings!

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying. "Righteous art thou, thou who art and wast, The Holy One, Because thou didst inflict this judgment.
