⁸ Now when I went by thee, and looked upon thee: behold, thy time was come; yea, even the time to vow thee. Then spread I my clothes over thee, to cover thy dishonesty: Yea, I made an oath unto thee, and married myself with thee, sayeth the LORD God; and so thou becamest mine own.

⁴⁵ Thou art even thy mother's own daughter, that hath cast off her husband and her children. Yea, thou art the sister of thy sisters, which forsook their husbands and their children. Your mother is a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. ⁴⁶ Thine eldest sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell upon thy left hand. But thy youngest sister that dwelleth on thy righthand, is Sodom and her daughters.

⁵ Therefore, whereas all people have walked every man in the name of his own god, we will walk in the name of our God for ever and ever.

¹³ The remnant of Israel shall do no wickedness, nor speak lies: neither shall there any deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. For they shall be fed, and take their rest, and no man shall make them afraid.

⁵ "Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, and say, 'When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, now this seventy years, did ye fast unto me? ⁶ When ye ate also and drank, did ye not eat and drink for your own selves? ⁷ Are not these the words, which the LORD spake by his prophets afore time, when Jerusalem was yet inhabited and wealthy, she and the cities round about her: when there dwelt men, both toward the south and in the plain countries?'"

¹⁶ Now the things that ye shall do, are these: Speak every man the truth unto his neighbour, execute judgment truly, and peaceably within your ports,

²⁰ Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: There shall yet come people, and the inhabiters of many cities. ²¹ And they that dwell in one city, shall go to another, saying, 'Up, let us go, and pray before the LORD; let us seek the LORD of Hosts, I will go with you.' ²² Yea, much people and mighty Heathen shall come and seek the LORD of Hosts at Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. ²³ Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: In that time shall ten men, out of all manner of languages of the Gentiles, take one Jew by the hem of his garment, and say, 'We will go with you, for we have heard that God is among you.'"

⁶ "Should not a son honour his father, and a servant his master? If I be now a father, where is mine honour? If I be the LORD, where am I feared? sayeth the LORD of Hosts, now, to you priests that despise my name. And if ye say, 'Wherein have we despised thy name?'

¹¹ For from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same, my name is great among the Gentiles. Yea, in every place shall there sacrifice be done, and a clean meat offering offered up unto my name: for my name is great among the Heathen, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

¹⁴ And yet ye say, 'Wherefore?' Even because that whereas the LORD made a covenant betwixt thee and the wife of thy youth, thou hast despised her: Yet is she thine own companion and married wife. ¹⁵ So did not the one, and yet had he an excellent spirit. What did then the one? He sought the seed promised of God. Therefore look well to your spirit, and let no man despise the wife of his youth. ¹⁶ If thou hatest her, put her away, sayeth the LORD God of Israel and give her a clothing for the scorn, sayeth the LORD of Hosts. Look well then to your spirit, and despise her not.

¹² Rejoice, and be glad: for great is your reward in heaven: For so persecuted they the prophets which were before your days.

²² But I say unto you, Whosoever is angry with his brother shall be in danger of judgment: whosoever sayeth unto his brother, 'Raca,' shall be in danger of a council: but whosoever sayeth, 'Thou fool,' shall be in danger of hell fire.

⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them which do you wrong and persecute you;

⁴⁶ For if ye love them which love you, what reward shall ye have? Do not the Publicans even so?

¹ Take heed to your alms, that ye give it not in the sight of men, to the intent that ye would be seen of them: or else ye get no reward of your father which is in heaven. ² Whensoever therefore thou givest thine alms, thou shalt not make a trumpet to be blown before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues, and in the streets, for to be praised of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

⁵ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, because they would be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

¹² And forgive us our trespasses, even as we forgive our trespassers.

¹⁴ For and if ye shall forgive other men their trespasses, your heavenly father shall also forgive you. ¹⁵ But and if ye will not forgive men their trespasses, no more shall your father forgive your trespasses. ¹⁶ "Moreover, when ye fast, be not sad as the hypocrites are: for they disfigure their faces, that they might be seen of men how they fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

¹⁹ "See that ye gather not treasure together upon the earth, where rust and moths corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: ²⁰ But gather ye treasures together in heaven, where neither rust, nor yet moths corrupt: and where thieves neither break up, nor yet steal.

²² The light of the body is thine eye: wherefore if thine eye be single, all thy body shall be full of light.

³³ But rather, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof; and all these things shall be ministered unto you.

⁹ For I also myself am a man under power, and have soldiers under me: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it."

⁴¹ He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive the reward of a righteous man.

²⁵ At that time, Jesus answered and said, "I praise thee, O father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast opened them unto babes,

¹⁸ "Behold my child, whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delighteth: I will put my spirit on him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ He shall not strive, he shall not cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. ²⁰ A bruised reed shall he not break, and flax that beginneth to burn he shall not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. ²¹ And in his name shall the Gentiles trust."

⁴³ Then shall the just men shine as bright as the sun in the kingdom of their father. Whosoever hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁴ For God commanded, saying, 'Honour thy father and mother,' and, 'He that curseth father or mother, shall suffer death.' ⁵ But ye say, 'Every man shall say to his father or mother: That which thou desirest of me to help thee with, is given God.' ⁶ And so shall he not honour his father or his mother. And thus have ye made, that the commandment of God is without effect, through your traditions.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, breaking of wedlock, whoredom, theft, false witness-bearing, blasphemy.

²³ Then turned he about, and said unto Peter, "Come after me, Satan: thou offendest me, because thou savourest not Godly things, but worldly things."

¹⁵ "Moreover, if thy brother trespass against thee, Go and tell him his fault between him and thee alone. If he hear thee, thou hast won thy brother: ¹⁶ But if he hear thee not, then take yet with thee one or two, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses, all things may be established. ¹⁷ If he hear not them, tell it unto the congregation: if he hear not the congregation, take him as a heathen man, and as a publican.

²¹ Then came Peter to him, and said, "Master, how oft shall I forgive my brother, if he sin against me? Shall I forgive him seven times?" ²² Jesus said unto him, "I say not unto thee seven times: but seventy times seven times. ²³ Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain King, which would take accounts of his servants. ²⁴ And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents: ²⁵ Whom, because he had nought to pay, his Master commanded him to be sold: and his wife, and his children, and all that he had; and payment to be made. ²⁶ The servant fell down and besought him saying, 'Sir, give me respite, and I will pay it every whit.' ²⁷ Then had the Lord pity on that servant, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. ²⁸ And the said servant went out and found one of his fellows, which owed him a hundred pence. And laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me that thou owest.' ²⁹ And his fellow fell down, and besought him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.' ³⁰ And he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. ³¹ When his other fellows saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their Lord all that had happened. ³² Then his Lord called him, and said unto him, 'O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou praydest me: ³³ Was it not mete also, that thou shouldest have had compassion on thy fellow, even as I had pity on thee?' ³⁴ And his Lord was wroth, and delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all that was due to him. ³⁵ So like wise shall my heavenly father do unto you, except ye forgive with your hearts, each one to his brother their trespasses."

¹⁹ Honour father and mother: and thou shalt love thine neighbor as thyself."

⁴⁴ 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand: till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

²² Yea, and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: But for the chosens' sake, those days shall be shortened.

²⁴ for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets and shall do great miracles and wonders. Insomuch that if it were possible, even the very elect should be deceived.

³¹ And he shall send his angels with the great voice of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, and from the one end of the world to the other.

³⁰ And when they had said grace, they went out into Mount Olivet.

⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, "Thou hast said. Nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man sitting on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of the sky."

¹⁹ Go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy ghost;

²¹ For from within even out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts: adultery, fornication, murder, ²² theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, uncleanness, and a wicked eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

²² theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, uncleanness, and a wicked eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

²⁵ And when ye stand and pray: forgive, if ye have anything against any man;

³⁶ For David himself, inspired with the holy ghost, said, 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand till I make thine enemies thy foot stool.'

²⁰ And except that the Lord had should shorten those days, no man should be saved. But for the elects' sake, which he hath chosen, he hath shortened those days.

²² For false Christs shall arise, and false prophets; And shall show miracles and wonders, to deceive if it were possible, even the elect.

²⁷ And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, and from the one end of the world to the other.

⁶² And Jesus said, "I am. And ye shall see the son of man sit on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of heaven."

¹⁹ So then when the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received into heaven, and is set down on the righthand of God.

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day spring from on high hath visited us:

⁵¹ And he went with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. But his mother kept all these things in her heart.

²⁰ When he saw their faith he said unto him, "Man, thy sins are forgiven thee." ²¹ And the scribes, and the Pharisees, began to think saying, "What fellow is this: which speaketh blasphemy? Who can forgive sins, but God only?" ²² When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered and said unto them, "What think ye in your hearts? ²³ Whether is easier to say: 'Thy sins are forgiven thee?' Or to say: 'Rise and walk?' ²⁴ But that ye may know that the son of man hath power to forgive sins on earth," he said unto the sick of the palsy, "I say to thee, arise, take up thy bed and go home to thy house."

³⁵ Wherefore, love ye your enemies, do good, and lend, looking for nothing again: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the highest: for he is kind unto the unkind, and to the evil.

³⁵ Wherefore, love ye your enemies, do good, and lend, looking for nothing again: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the highest: for he is kind unto the unkind, and to the evil. ³⁶ Be ye therefore merciful, as your father is merciful. ³⁷ "Judge not and ye shall not be judged. Condemn not: and ye shall not be condemned. Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.

⁴⁶ Why call ye me 'Master, Master': and do not as I bid you?

⁸ For I likewise am a man under power, and have under me soldiers, and I say unto one, 'Go': and he goeth. And to another, 'Come': and he cometh. And to my servant, 'Do this': and he doeth it."

⁴⁸ And he said unto her, "Thy sins are forgiven thee." ⁴⁹ And they that sat at meat with him, began to say within themselves, "Who is this which forgiveth sins also?" ⁵⁰ And he said to the woman, "Thy faith hath saved thee; Go in peace."

⁴ And forgive us our sins: For even we forgive every man that trespasseth us, and lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil. Amen."

¹⁵ Wherefore he said unto them, "Take heed, and beware of covetousness. For no man's life standeth in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."

³³ Sell that ye have, and give alms. And make you bags, which wax not old, and treasure that faileth not in heaven, where no thief cometh, neither moth corrupteth.

¹⁴ and thou shalt be happy: For they cannot recompense thee. But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just men."

²⁶ "If a man come to me, and hate not his father and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, moreover and his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

⁸ And the Lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely. For the children of this world, are in their kind, wiser than the children of light. ⁹ And I say also unto you, Make you friends of the wicked mammon, that when ye shall have need they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

¹¹ So then if ye have not been faithful in the wicked mammon, who will believe you in that which is true?

¹⁹ "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple, and fine bysse, and fared deliciously every day. ²⁰ And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, which lay at his gate full of sores, ²¹ desiring to be refreshed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's board. Nevertheless, the dogs came, and licked his sores. ²² And it fortuned that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: The rich man also died, and was buried in hell. ²³ And being in hell, in torments, he lift up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom; ²⁴ And he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.' ²⁵ But Abraham said unto him, 'Son remember, that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy pleasure, and contrariwise, Lazarus pain. Now therefore is he comforted, and thou art punished.

³ Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. ⁴ And though he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee saying, It repenteth me, forgive him."

¹⁶ and fell down on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks. And the same was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said, "Are there not ten cleansed? But where are those nine? ¹⁸ There are not found that returned again, to give God praise, save only this stranger."

⁷ And shall not God avenge his elect, which cry night and day unto him? Yea though he defer them:

²¹ And they asked him saying, "Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither considerest thou any man's degree, but teachest the way of God truly.

⁴² And David himself saith in the book of the Psalms, 'The Lord said unto my Lord: Sit on my right hand,

⁶⁹ Hereafter shall the son of man sit on the righthand of the power of God."

³⁴ Then said Jesus, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

¹⁶ For God so loveth the world, that he hath given his only son, for the intent that none that believe in him should perish: But should have everlasting life.

¹⁴ But whosoever shall drink of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more a thirst: But the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

²¹ For likewise, as the father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them, even so the son quickeneth whom he will.

²⁴ Verily, verily I say unto you, He that heareth my words, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life: and shall not come into damnation, but is escaped from death unto life.

³⁹ Search the scriptures: for in them, ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify of me. ⁴⁰ And yet will ye not come to me that ye might have life.

⁴⁰ And yet will ye not come to me that ye might have life.

³⁹ And this is the father's will which hath sent me: that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again at the last day. ⁴⁰ And this is the will of him that sent me: That every man which seeth the son, and believeth on him, have everlasting life. And I will raise him up at the last day."

⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me: and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living father hath sent me, even so live I by my father: and he that eateth me, shall live by me.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father, ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning; And abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his own. For he is a liar, and the father thereof.

²⁸ And I give unto them eternal life: and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. ²⁹ My father which gave them me, is greater than all men; and no man is able to take them out of my father's hand. ³⁰ And I and my father are one."

²⁵ Jesus said unto her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth on me; Yea though he were dead, yet shall he live:

²⁶ If any man minister unto me, let him follow me: and where I am, there shall also my minister be. And if any man minister unto me, him will my father honour.

³⁴ A new commandment give I unto you: that ye love together: as I have loved you, that even so ye love one another.

³ And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again: and receive you even unto myself, that where I am, there may ye be also.

⁶ Jesus said unto him, "I am the way, the truth and the life. And no man cometh unto the father, but by me.

¹⁹ It is yet a little while and the world seeth me no more: but ye shall see me. For I live, and ye shall live.

²³ Jesus answered, and said unto him, "If a man love me and will keep my sayings, my father also will love him, and we will come unto him, and will dwell with him.

²⁷ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your hearts be grieved, neither fear ye.

⁵ I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. For without me can ye do nothing.

⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words also abide in you: ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you.

¹² This is my commandment: that ye love together as I have loved you.

³³ These words have I spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. For in the world shall ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

³ This is life eternal: that they might know thee, that only very God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.

²³ I am in them, and thou art in me: that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. ²⁴ "Father, I will that they, which thou hast given me, be with me where I am: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me. For thou lovedest me before the making of the world.

³¹ These are written that ye might believe that Jesus is Christ the son of God. And that ye in believing ye might have life through his name.

³⁴ For David is not ascended into heaven, but he said,

⁴⁶ And they continued daily with one accord in the temple, and brake bread in every house, and did eat their meat together with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God,

¹⁵ and killed the Lord of life whom God hath raised from death, of the which we are witnesses:

³⁰ So that thou stretch forth thine hand, that healing, and signs, and wonders be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus."

²⁹ Peter and the other apostles answered, and said, "We ought more to obey God than men.

⁵⁵ But he, being full of the holy ghost, looked up steadfastly with his eyes into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the righthand of God,

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, "Of a truth I perceive, that God is not partial:

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, "Of a truth I perceive, that God is not partial: ³⁵ but in all people, he that feareth him and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, "It was meet that the word of God should first have been preached to you. But seeing ye put it from you, and think yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so hath the Lord commanded us, 'I have made thee a light to the gentiles, that thou be salvation unto the end of the world.'" ⁴⁸ The gentiles heard, and were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed even as many as were ordained unto eternal life.

¹⁷ that the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and also the Gentiles upon whom my name is named saith the Lord, which doth all these things.'

¹⁷ And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also, which dwelt at Ephesus, and fear came on them all. And they magnified the name of the Lord Jesus.

³² And now dear brethren I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build further, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

¹⁷ delivering thee from the people, and from the gentiles, unto thee which now I send thee, ¹⁸ to open their eyes that they might turn from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in me.'

² and the people of the country showed us no little kindness, for they kindled a fire and received us every one because of the present rain, and because of cold.

⁴ When the men of the country saw the worm hang on his hand, they said among themselves, "This man must needs be a murderer: Whom, though he have escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live."

¹ Paul, the servant of Jesus Christ, called unto the office to be an apostle, put apart to preach the Gospel of God,

⁷ To all you of Rome beloved of God, and saints by calling. Grace be with you, and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ First: Verily I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout all the world.

¹⁴ For I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to them which are no Greeks, unto the learned and also unto the unlearned.

¹⁸ For the wrath of God appeareth from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men which withhold the truth in unrighteousness.

²¹ inasmuch as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful: but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations. And their foolish hearts were blinded.

²⁶ For this cause, God gave them up unto shameful lusts. For even their women did change the natural use unto the unnatural.

²⁹ being full of all unrighteous doing: of fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, evil-conditioned whisperers,

⁶ which will reward every man according to his deeds, ⁷ that is to say: praise, honour, and immortality, to them which continue in good doing, and seek eternal life.

¹¹ For there is no partiality with God:

¹⁴ "Whose mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."

²⁹ Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also the God of the gentiles? Yes, even of the Gentiles also.

⁴ To him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of favour: but of duty. ⁵ To him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, is his faith counted for righteousness.

¹⁰ How was it reckoned? In the time of circumcision? Or in the time before he was circumcised? Not in time of circumcision: but when he was yet uncircumcised. ¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness which is by faith: which faith he had, yet being uncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that believe: though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also;

¹ Because therefore that we are justified by faith we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁰ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son: much more, seeing we are reconciled, we shall be preserved by his life.

²¹ That as sin had reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, by the help of Jesus Christ.

² God forbid. How shall we that are dead, as touching sin, live any longer therein?

⁴ We are buried with him by baptism for to die: That likewise as Christ was raised up from death by the glory of the father: even so we also should walk in a new life. ⁵ For if we be graft in death like unto him: even so must we be in the resurrection. ⁶ This we must remember, that our old man is crucified with him also, that the body of sin might utterly be destroyed; that henceforth we should not be servants of sin.

⁹ remembering that Christ, once raised from death, dieth no more. Death hath no more power over him. ¹⁰ For as touching that he died, he died as concerning sin once. And as touching that he liveth, he liveth unto God. ¹¹ Likewise, imagine ye also, that ye are dead concerning sin: but are alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹³ Neither give ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: But give yourselves unto God, as they that are alive from death. And give your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

¹⁹ I will speak grossly because of the infirmity of your flesh. As ye have given your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, from iniquity unto iniquity: even so now give your members servants unto righteousness, that ye may be sanctified. ²⁰ For when ye were servants of sin, ye were not under righteousness.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the lusts of sin which were stirred up by the law, reigned in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.

⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid: but I knew not what sin meant but by the law. For I had not known what lust had meant, except the law had said, "Thou shalt not lust." ⁸ But sin took an occasion by the means of the commandment, and wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For verily, without the law sin was dead.

²³ But I see another law in my members rebelling against the law of my mind, and subduing me unto the law of sin, which is in my members.

² For the law of the spirit, that bringeth life through Jesus Christ, hath delivered me from the law of sin, and death:

⁴ that the righteousness required of the law might be fulfilled in us, which walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. ⁵ For they that are carnal, are carnally minded; But they that are spiritual are spiritually minded. ⁶ To be carnally minded is death; But to be spiritually minded is life, and peace:

⁶ To be carnally minded is death; But to be spiritually minded is life, and peace:

¹⁰ If Christ be in you: the body is dead, because of sin; But the spirit is life for righteousness' sake. ¹¹ Wherefore, if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from death, dwell in you: even he that raised up Christ from death, shall quicken your mortal bodies, because that this spirit dwelleth in you.

¹³ For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die. But if ye mortify the deeds of the body, by the help of the spirit, ye shall live,

²⁹ For those which he knew before, he also ordained before, that they should be like fashioned unto the shape of his son, that he might be the first begotten son among many brethren.

²⁹ For those which he knew before, he also ordained before, that they should be like fashioned unto the shape of his son, that he might be the first begotten son among many brethren. ³⁰ Moreover, which he appointed before, them he also called; and which he called, them also he justified; which he justified, them he also glorified. ³¹ What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us? ³² Which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: How shall he not with him give us all things also? ³³ Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's chosen? It is God that justifieth: ³⁴ who then shall condemn? It is Christ which is dead; Yea rather which is risen again, which is also on the righthand of God and maketh intercession for us.

³⁴ who then shall condemn? It is Christ which is dead; Yea rather which is risen again, which is also on the righthand of God and maketh intercession for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of God? Shall tribulation? Or anguish? Or persecution, other hunger? Other nakedness? Other peril? Other sword? ³⁶ As it is written, "For thy sake are we killed all day long, and are counted as sheep appointed to be slain." ³⁷ Nevertheless, in all these things we overcome strongly through his help that loved us. ³⁸ Yea and I am sure that neither death, neither life, neither angels; nor rule, neither power, neither things present, neither things to come, ³⁹ neither height, neither lowth, neither any other creature shall be able to depart us from the love of God, showed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹¹ yer the children were born, when they had neither done good neither bad — that the purpose of God, which is by election, might stand — it was said unto her, not by the reason of works, but by grace of the caller,

²⁴ that is to say, us which he called, not of the Jews only, but also of the gentiles. ²⁵ As he saith in Hosea, "I will call them my people which were not my people: and her beloved which was not beloved." ²⁶ And, "It shall come to pass, in the place where it was said unto them, 'ye are not my people,' that there shall be called the children of the living God."

³⁰ What shall we say then? We say that the gentiles which followed not righteousness, have overtaken righteousness: I mean, the righteousness which cometh of faith. ³¹ But Israel, which followed the law of righteousness, could not attain unto the law of righteousness.

¹² There is no difference between the Jew and the gentile. For one is Lord of all: which is rich unto all that call on him.

¹⁷ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing cometh by the word of God.

⁵ Even so at this time is there a remnant left through the election of grace. ⁶ If it be of grace, then is it not of works. For then were grace no more grace. If it be by the deserving of works, then is it no more grace. For then were deserving no longer deserving. ⁷ What then? Israel hath not obtained that that he sought. No but yet the election hath obtained it. The remnant are blinded,

² And fashion not yourselves like unto this world: But be changed through the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what thing that good, that acceptable, and perfect will of God is.

⁹ Let love be without dissimulation. Hate that which is evil, and cleave unto that which is good. ¹⁰ Be kind one to another, with brotherly love. In giving honour go one before another.

⁸ Owe nothing to any man: but to love one another. For he that loveth another, fulfilleth the law.

¹² The night is past and the day is come nigh. Let us therefore cast away the deeds of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. ¹³ Let us walk honestly as it were in the daylight: not in eating and drinking: neither in chambering and wantonness: neither in strife and envying: ¹⁴ but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ. And make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts of it.

⁶ He that observeth one day more than another, doth it for the Lord's pleasure. And he that observeth not one day more than another, doth it to please the Lord, also. He that eateth, doth it to please the lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, eateth not to please the Lord withal, and giveth God thanks.

⁶ He that observeth one day more than another, doth it for the Lord's pleasure. And he that observeth not one day more than another, doth it to please the Lord, also. He that eateth, doth it to please the lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, eateth not to please the Lord withal, and giveth God thanks. ⁷ For none of us liveth his own servant: and also neither doth any of us die his own servant. ⁸ If we live, we live to be at the Lord's will. And if we die, we die at the Lord's will.

⁸ If we live, we live to be at the Lord's will. And if we die, we die at the Lord's will.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace and joy, in the holy ghost. ¹⁸ For whosoever in these things serveth Christ, pleaseth well God: and is commended of men.

¹ We which are strong ought to bear the frailness of them which are weak, and not to stand in our own conceits. ² Let every man please his neighbor unto his wealth and edifying.

⁷ Wherefore receive ye one another as Christ received us, to the praise of God.

⁹ And let the gentiles praise God for his mercy. As it is written, "For this cause I will praise thee among the gentiles, and sing in thy name." ¹⁰ And again he saith, "Ye gentiles rejoice with his people." ¹¹ And again, "Praise the Lord all ye gentiles, and laud him all nations." ¹² And in another place Isaiah saith, "There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the gentiles: in him shall the gentiles trust." ¹³ The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may be rich in hope through the power of the holy ghost.

¹³ The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may be rich in hope through the power of the holy ghost. ¹⁴ I myself am full certified of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, and filled with all knowledge, and are able to exhort one another.

⁷ so that ye are behind in no gift, and wait for the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ

²⁹ that no flesh should rejoice in his presence. ³⁰ And unto him pertain ye, in Christ Jesus, which of God is made unto us wisdom, and also righteousness, and sanctifying, and redemption.

¹⁴ For the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are but foolishness unto him: Neither can he perceive them, because he is spiritually examined.

³ For ye are yet carnal. As long verily as there is among you envying, strife and dissension: are ye not carnal, and walk after the manner of men?

⁸ He that planteth, and he that watereth, are neither better than the other. Every man yet shall receive his reward according to his labour.

²¹ Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours, ²² whether it be Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas: whether it be the world, or life, either death, whether they be present things or things to come: all are yours, ²³ and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

¹ There goeth a common saying that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not once named among the gentiles: that one should have his father's wife.

¹⁰ And I meant not at all of the fornicators of this world, either of the covetous, or of extortioners, either of the idolaters — for then must ye needs have gone out of the world - ¹¹ but now I write unto you that ye company not together. If any that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or a worshipper of images, either a railer, either a drunkard, or an extortioner: with him that is such see that ye eat not.

⁷ Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why rather suffer ye not wrong? Why rather suffer ye not yourselves to be robbed? ⁸ Nay, ye yourselves do wrong, and rob: and that the brethren. ⁹ Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. For neither fornicators, neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ neither thieves, neither the covetous, neither drunkards, neither cursed speakers, neither extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were ye verily: but ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified by the name of the Lord Jesus: And by the spirit of our God.

¹³ Meats are ordained for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Let not the body be applied unto fornication, but unto the Lord, and the Lord unto the body.

¹⁸ Flee fornication. All sins that a man doth, are without the body. But he that is a fornicator, sinneth against his own body.

¹⁵ But and if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not in subjection to such. God hath called us in peace.

¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, uncircumcision is nothing: but the keeping of the commandments of God is altogether.

²¹ Art thou called a servant? Care not for it. Nevertheless if thou mayst be free, use it rather. ²² For he that is called in the Lord being a servant, is the Lord's freeman. Likewise he that is called being free, is Christ's servant.

²² For he that is called in the Lord being a servant, is the Lord's freeman. Likewise he that is called being free, is Christ's servant.

¹⁷ If I do it with a good will, I have a reward. But if I do it against my will, an office is committed unto me. ¹⁸ What is my reward then? Verily that when I preach the gospel, I make the gospel of Christ free, that I misuse not mine authority in the gospel.

⁶ These are examples to us that we should not lust after evil things, as they lusted. ⁷ Neither be ye worshippers of images as were some of them according as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up again to play." ⁸ Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed fornication, and were destroyed — in one day, twenty three thousand.

³¹ Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the praise of God.

³ I would ye knew that Christ is the head of every man; and the man is the woman's head; and God is Christ's head.

¹³ For in one spirit are we all baptised to make one body, whether we be Jews or gentiles: whether we be bond or free, and have all drunk of one spirit.

¹ Though I spake with the tongues of men and angels, and yet had no love, I were even as sounding brass: or as a tinkling cymbal. ² And though I could prophesy, and understood all secrets, and all knowledge: yea, if I had all faith so that I could move mountains out of their places, and yet had no love, I were nothing. ³ And though I bestowed all my goods to feed the poor, and though I gave my body even that I burned, and yet had no love, it profiteth me nothing. ⁴ Love suffereth long, and is courteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not forwardly, swelleth not, ⁵ dealeth not dishonestly, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh not evil, ⁶ rejoiceth not in iniquity: but rejoiceth in the truth, ⁷ suffereth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth in all things. ⁸ Though that prophesying fail, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge vanish away: yet love falleth never away. ⁹ For our knowledge is unperfect, and our prophesying is unperfect: ¹⁰ but when that which is perfect is come, then that which is unperfect shall be done away. ¹¹ When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I imagined as a child: but as soon as I was a man I put away childishness. ¹² Now we see in a glass, even in a dark speaking: but then shall we see face to face. Now I know unperfectly: but then shall I know even as I am known. ¹³ Now abideth faith, hope, and love, even these three: but the chief of these is love.

¹¹ If I know not what the voice meaneth, I shall be unto him that speaketh an alien: and he that speaketh shall be an alien unto me.

¹⁵ What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and will pray with the mind also. I will sing with the spirit, and will sing with the mind also.

²⁶ How is it then brethren? When ye come together, every man hath his song, hath his doctrine, hath his tongue, hath his revelation, hath his interpretation: Let all things be done unto edifying.

³⁴ Let your wives keep silence in the congregations. For it is not permitted unto them to speak: but let them be under obedience, as saith the law.

⁴³ It is sown in dishonour, and riseth in honour. It is sown in weakness, and riseth in power.

⁴⁵ As it is written, "The first man Adam was made a living soul," and the last Adam was made a quickening spirit:

⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruptibility: and this mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ When this corruptible hath put on incorruptibility: and this mortal hath put on immortality: then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is consumed into victory."

¹⁰ To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also. And verily if I forgive anything, to whom I forgave it for your sakes forgave I it, in the room of Christ,

¹⁸ But we all behold the glory of the Lord with his face open, and we are changed unto the same similitude, from glory to glory, even of the spirit of the Lord.

⁶ For it is God that commanded the light to shine out of darkness, which hath shined in our hearts, for to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ for all things I do for your sakes, that the plenteous grace by thanks given of many, may redound to the praise of God.

¹⁷ For our exceeding tribulation, which is momentary and light, prepareth an exceeding and eternal weight of glory unto us, ¹⁸ while we look not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen. For things which are seen, are temporal: but things which are not seen are eternal.

⁷ For we walk in faith and see not.

¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every man may receive the works of his body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, if one be dead for all, that then are all dead:

¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.

¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and made agreement between the world and himself, and imputed not their sins unto them: and hath committed to us the preaching of the atonement. ²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the room of Christ: even as though God did beseech you through us. So pray we you, in Christ's stead, that ye be at one with God: ²¹ for he hath made him to be sin for us, which knew no sin, that we by his means should be that righteousness which before God is allowed.

⁶ in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the holy ghost, in love unfeigned,

¹ Seeing that we have such promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, and grow up to full holiness in the fear of God.

¹¹ ye may be made rich in all singleness, which causeth through us, thanksgiving unto God.

²⁰ For I fear, lest it come to pass, that when I come I shall not find you such as I would: and I shall be found unto you such as I would not. I fear lest there be found among you debate, envying, wrath, strife, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, and discord. ²¹ I fear lest when I come again, God bring me low among you, and I be constrained to bewail many of them which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness, and fornication, and wantonness which they have committed.

¹⁰ Preach I man's doctrine or God's? Other go I about to please men? If I studied to please men, I were not the servant of Christ.

¹⁹ But I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. ²⁰ I am crucified with Christ. I live verily, yet now not I, but Christ liveth in me. For the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God, which loved me, and gave himself for me.

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ. I live verily, yet now not I, but Christ liveth in me. For the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God, which loved me, and gave himself for me.

²⁷ For all ye that are baptised, have put on Christ. ²⁸ Now is there no Jew, neither gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman: but ye are all one thing in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs by promise.

⁶ For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.

¹⁵ If ye bite and devour one another: take heed lest ye be consumed one of another.

¹⁹ The deeds of the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, wantonness, ²⁰ idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, lawing, zeal, wrath, strife, sedition, sects,

²⁰ idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, lawing, zeal, wrath, strife, sedition, sects, ²¹ envying, murder, drunkenness, gluttony, and such like. Of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in time past, that they which commit such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the spirit is: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance. ²³ Against such there is no law. ²⁴ They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, with the appetites and lusts.

²⁶ Let us not be vainglorious, provoking one another, and envying one another.

² Bear ye one another's burden; and so fulfill the law of Christ.

¹⁴ God forbid that I should rejoice but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby the world is crucified as touching me, and I as concerning the world. ¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus nether circumcision availeth any thing at all nor uncircumcision: but a new creature.

¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus nether circumcision availeth any thing at all nor uncircumcision: but a new creature.

⁴ according as he had chosen us in him through love, before the foundation of the world was laid, that we should be saints, and without blame before him, through love.

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the father of glory, might give unto you the spirit of wisdom, and open to you the knowledge of himself,

¹⁹ and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward, which believe according to the working of that his mighty power, ²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him on his righthand in heavenly things,

²³ which is his body, and fullness of him, that filleth all in all things.

² in the which, in time past, ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the governor that ruleth in the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of unbelief,

² in the which, in time past, ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the governor that ruleth in the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of unbelief, ³ among which we also had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of our flesh, and fulfilled the will of the flesh, and of the mind: and were naturally the children of wrath, even as well as others. ⁴ But God, which is rich in mercy through his great love wherewith he loved us, ⁵ even when we were dead by sin, hath quickened us together in Christ — for by grace are ye saved -

⁵ even when we were dead by sin, hath quickened us together in Christ — for by grace are ye saved - ⁶ and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly things through Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

¹² remember, I say, that ye were at that time without Christ, and were reputed aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and were strangers from the testaments of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in this world. ¹³ But now in Christ Jesus, ye which a while ago were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken down the wall in the midst, that was a stop between us, ¹⁵ and hath also put away, through his flesh, the cause of hatred — that is to say, the law of commandments contained in the law written — for to make of twain one new man in himself, so making peace.

¹⁵ and hath also put away, through his flesh, the cause of hatred — that is to say, the law of commandments contained in the law written — for to make of twain one new man in himself, so making peace. ¹⁶ And to reconcile both unto God in one body through his cross, and slew hatred thereby: ¹⁷ and came, and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. ¹⁸ For through him we both have an open way in, in one spirit unto the father.

⁶ That the gentiles should be inheritors also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise that is in Christ, by the means of the gospel,

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

² in all humbleness of mind, and meekness, and long suffering, forbearing one another through love, ³ and that ye be diligent to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, ⁴ being one body, and one spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.

¹⁰ He that descended, is even the same also that ascended up, even above all heavens, to fulfill all things.

¹⁶ in whom all the body is coupled and knit together, in every joint, wherewith one ministereth to another — according to the operation as every part hath his measure — and increaseth the body, unto the edifying of itself in love.

¹⁹ Which, being past repentance, have given themselves unto wantonness, to work all manner of uncleanness even with greediness.

²² so then, as concerning the conversation in time past, lay from you that old man, which is corrupt through the deceivable lusts, ²³ and be ye renewed in the spirit of your minds, ²⁴ and put on that new man, which after the image of God is shapen in righteousness, and true holiness.

²⁴ and put on that new man, which after the image of God is shapen in righteousness, and true holiness. ²⁵ Wherefore, put away lying, and speak every man truth unto his neighbor, forasmuch as we are members one of another. ²⁶ Be angry, but sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath,

²⁹ Let no filthy communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to edify withal, when need is, that it may have favour with the hearers.

³¹ Let all bitterness, fierceness and wrath, roaring and cursed speaking, be put away from you, with all maliciousness.

³¹ Let all bitterness, fierceness and wrath, roaring and cursed speaking, be put away from you, with all maliciousness. ³² Be ye courteous one to another, and merciful, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake forgave you.

³² Be ye courteous one to another, and merciful, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake forgave you.

¹ Be ye followers of God as dear children, ² and walk in love even as Christ loved us, and gave himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet savour to God. ³ So that fornication, and all uncleanness or covetousness, be not once named among you, as it becometh saints:

³ So that fornication, and all uncleanness or covetousness, be not once named among you, as it becometh saints: ⁴ neither filthiness, neither foolish talking, neither jestings, which are not comely: but rather giving of thanks.

⁴ neither filthiness, neither foolish talking, neither jestings, which are not comely: but rather giving of thanks. ⁵ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, either unclean person, or covetous person, which is the worshipper of images, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God. ⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words. For through such things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of unbelief.

⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words. For through such things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of unbelief.

¹⁷ Wherefore, be ye not unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

¹⁹ speaking unto yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, ²⁰ giving thanks always for all things unto God the father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ:

²² Women: submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

²² Women: submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

²⁴ Therefore as the congregation is in subjection to Christ, likewise let the wives be in subjection to their husbands in all things. ²⁵ Husbands: love your wives, even as Christ loved the congregation, and gave himself for it,

²⁸ So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. ²⁹ For no man ever yet, hated his own flesh; but nourisheth, and cherisheth it: even as the Lord doth the congregation.

³³ Nevertheless, do ye so that every one of you love his wife truly even as himself: And let the wife see that she fear her husband.

¹ Children, obey your fathers and mothers in the Lord: for so is it right. ² "Honour thy father and mother," that is the first commandment that hath any promise, ³ "that thou mayst be in good estate, and live long on the earth." ⁴ And ye fathers, move not your children to wrath: but bring them up with the nurture and information of the Lord. ⁵ Servants, be obedient unto your carnal masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your hearts, as unto Christ: ⁶ not with service in the eyesight, as men-pleasers: but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart

⁶ not with service in the eyesight, as men-pleasers: but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart ⁷ with good will, even as though serving the Lord and not men. ⁸ And remember that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, that shall he receive again of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. ⁹ And ye masters, do even the same things unto them, putting away threatenings: and remember that even your master also is in heaven, neither is there any respect of person with him.

⁸ For God beareth me record how greatly I long after you all from the very heart-root in Jesus Christ.

¹¹ filled with the fruits of righteousness, which fruits come by Jesus Christ unto the glory and laud of God.

²³ I am constrained of two things. I desire to be loosed, and to be with Christ, which thing is best of all:

¹ If there be among you any consolation in Christ, if there be any comfortable love, if there be any fellowship of the spirit, if there be any compassion of mercy: ² fulfil my joy, that ye draw one way, having one love, being of one accord, and of one mind, ³ that nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but that in meekness of mind every man esteem others better than himself, ⁴ and that no man consider his own, but what is mete for others.

¹¹ and that all tongues should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord unto the praise of God the father.

⁷ But the things that were vantage unto me I counted loss for Christ's sake. ⁸ Yea I think all things but loss for that excellent knowledge's sake of Christ Jesus my Lord. For whom I have counted all thing loss, and do judge them but dung, that I might win Christ, ⁹ and might be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law: But that which springeth of the faith which is in Christ. I mean, the righteousness which cometh of God through faith

¹⁹ whose end is damnation, whose God is their belly and whose glory is to their shame, which are worldly minded. ²⁰ But our conversation is in heaven, from whence we look for a saviour, even the Lord Jesus Christ,

²⁰ But our conversation is in heaven, from whence we look for a saviour, even the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ which shall change into another fashion our vile bodies, that they may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

²¹ which shall change into another fashion our vile bodies, that they may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

⁶ Be not careful: but in all things show your petition unto God in prayer and supplication with giving of thanks. ⁷ And the peace of God which passeth all understanding keep your hearts, and minds in Christ Jesus.

⁷ And the peace of God which passeth all understanding keep your hearts, and minds in Christ Jesus.

¹⁸ I received all, and have plenty. I was even filled after that I have received of Epaphroditus, that which came from you, an odor that smelleth sweet, a sacrifice accepted and pleasant to God.

⁵ for the hope's sake which is laid up in store for you in heaven, of which hope ye have heard before by the true word of the gospel,

⁹ For this cause we also, since the day we heard of it have not ceased praying for you, and desiring that ye might be fulfilled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, ¹⁰ that ye might walk worthy of the Lord in all things that please, being fruitful in all good works and increasing in the knowledge of God

¹² giving thanks unto the father which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of saints in light.

²⁸ whom we preach warning all men, and teaching all men in all wisdom, to make all men perfect in Christ Jesus.

² that their hearts might be comforted and knit together in love, and in all riches of full understanding, for to know the mystery of God the father and of Christ: ³ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

⁷ and steadfast in the faith, as ye have learned: and therein be plenteous in giving thanks.

¹⁰ and ye are complete in him, which is the head of all rule and power.

¹² in that ye are buried with him through baptism, in whom ye are also risen again through faith, that is wrought by the operation of God which raised him from death. ¹³ And ye which were dead in sin through the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him and hath forgiven us all our trespasses

¹³ And ye which were dead in sin through the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him and hath forgiven us all our trespasses

¹⁸ Let no man make you shoot at a wrong mark, which after his own imagination walketh in the humbleness and holiness of angels, things which he never saw: causeless, puffed up with his fleshly mind,

²⁰ Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ from ordinances of the world: Why as though ye yet lived in the world, are ye led with traditions of them that say

¹ If ye be then risen again with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the righthand of God. ² Set your affection on things that are above, and not on things which are on the earth.

⁴ When Christ, which is our life, shall show himself; then shall ye also appear with him in glory. ⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth; fornication, uncleanness, unnatural lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness which is worshipping of idols:

⁸ But now put ye also away from you all things; wrath, fierceness, maliciousness, cursed speaking, filthy speaking out of your mouths. ⁹ Lie not one to another, that the old man with his works be put off, ¹⁰ and the new put on; which is renewed in knowledge, after the image of him that made him:

¹² Now therefore as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering,

¹⁴ Above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness,

¹⁷ And all things, whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father by him.

²⁰ Children, obey your fathers and mothers, in all things, for that is well pleasing unto the Lord. ²¹ Fathers, provoke not your children, lest they be of a desperate mind. ²² Servants, be obedient unto your bodily masters in all things: not with eye service as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart fearing God. ²³ And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as though ye did it to the Lord, and not unto men,

¹ Ye masters do unto your servants that which is just and equal, seeing ye know that ye have also a master in heaven.

⁶ Let your speech be always well favoured and be powdered with salt, that ye may know how to answer every man.

¹ Paul, Silvanus and Timothy. Unto the congregation of the Thessalonians, in God the father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with you, and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ without ceasing, and call to remembrance your work in the faith, and labour in love and perseverance in the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God our father: ⁴ because we know brethren beloved of God, how that ye are elect. ⁵ For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and also in the holy ghost and in much certainty, as ye know after what manner we behaved ourselves among you, for your sakes. ⁶ And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord: and received the word in much affliction, with joy of the holy ghost:

⁴ but as we were allowed of God, that the gospel should be committed unto us: even so we speak, not as though we intended to please men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

¹¹ as ye know how that we exhorted and comforted, and besought every one of you, as a father his children,

¹ Furthermore, we beseech you brethren, and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that ye increase more and more, even as ye have received of us, how ye ought to walk and to please God. ² Ye remember what commandments we gave you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. ³ For this is the will of God, even that ye should be holy, and that ye should abstain from fornication,

⁵ and not in the lust of concupiscence, as do the heathen, which know not God, ⁶ that no man go too far and defraud his brother in bargaining, because the Lord is avenger of all such things: as we told you before time, and testified unto you.

⁹ But as touching brotherly love, ye need not that I write unto you. For ye are taught of God to love one another.

¹⁷ then shall we which live and remain, be caught up with them also in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Where-fore comfort yourselves one another with these words.

¹¹ Wherefore, comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as ye do. ¹² We beseech you brethren, that ye know them which labour among you, and have the oversight of you in the Lord,

¹⁵ See that none recompense evil for evil unto any man: but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

¹⁸ In all things give thanks. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be made marvelous in all them that believe: because our testimony that we had unto you, was believed even the same day that we preached it. ¹¹ Wherefore, we pray always for you that our God make you worthy of the calling, and fulfill all delectation of goodness, and the work of faith, with power: ¹² that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, through the grace of our God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, for because that God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctifying of the spirit; And through believing the truth: ¹⁴ whereunto he called you by our gospel, to obtain the glory that cometh of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in all doctrine and good doing.

¹⁵ And count him not as an enemy: but warn him as a brother.

⁵ For the end of the commandment is love that cometh of a pure heart and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

¹⁰ and whoremongers; to them that defile themselves with mankind; to menstealers; to liars and to perjured, and so forth if there be any other thing that is contrary to wholesome doctrine

¹³ when before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a tyrant. But I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly, through unbelief:

²⁰ Of whose number is Hymenaeus, and Alexander, which I have delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

¹ I exhort therefore that above all things, prayers, supplications, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be had for all men:

¹² I suffer not a woman to teach, neither to have authority over the man: but for to be in silence.

¹ Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God, and his doctrine be not evil spoken of. ² See that they which have believing masters despise them not because they are brethren: but so much the rather do service, forasmuch as they are believing and beloved and partakers of the benefits. These things teach and exhort.

¹⁴ that thou keep the commandment, and be without spot and unrebukable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁷ Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not exceeding wise, and that they trust not in the uncertain riches, but in the living God, which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy them,

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to preach the promise of life, which life is in Christ Jesus.

⁹ which saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our deeds, but according to his own purpose and grace, which grace was given us through Christ Jesus before the world was,

¹⁰ Herefore I suffer all things, for the elects' sakes, that they might also obtain that salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

²³ Foolish and unlearned questions put from thee, remembering that they do but gender strife. ²⁴ But the servant of the Lord must not strive: but must be peaceable unto all men, and apt to teach,

¹⁵ And forasmuch also as thou hast known holy scripture of a child, which is able to make thee wise unto salvation through the faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

⁸ From henceforth is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord that is a righteous judge shall give me at that day: not to me only: but unto all them that love his coming.

¹ Paul, the servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to preach the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of that truth,

¹² One being of themselves, which was a poet of their own said, "The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and slow bellies." ¹³ This witness is true, wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

⁴ to make the young women soberminded, to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ to be of discreet, chaste, housewifely, good, and obedient unto their own husbands, that the word of God be not evil spoken of.

⁹ The servants exhort to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please in all things, not answering again,

⁹ The servants exhort to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please in all things, not answering again, ¹⁰ neither be pickers, but that they show all good faithfulness, that they may do worship to the doctrine of God our saviour in all things.

¹³ looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the mighty God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ:

³ For we ourselves also were in times past, unwise, disobedient, deceived, in danger to lusts, and to divers manners of voluptuousness, living in maliciousness and envy, full of hate, hating one another. ⁴ But after that the kindness and love of our saviour God to man ward appeared, ⁵ not of the deeds of righteousness which we wrought, but of his mercy, he saved us, by the fountain of the new birth, and with the renewing of the holy ghost, ⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our saviour;

⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our saviour;

¹⁶ not now as a servant: but above a servant, I mean a brother beloved, specially to me: but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and also in the Lord?

¹⁸ If he have hurt thee or oweth thee ought, that lay to my charge.

³ Which son, being the brightness of his glory, and very image of his substance, bearing up all things with the word of his power, hath in his own person purged our sins, and is sitten on the righthand of the majesty on high,

⁵ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, "Thou art my son, this day begat I thee?" And again, "I will be his father, and he shall be my son."

¹³ Unto which of the angels said he at any time, "Sit on my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool?"

² For if the word which was spoken by angels was steadfast — so that every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense to reward -

¹² for the word of God is quick, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword: and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit and of the joints, and the marrow: and judgeth the thoughts and the intents of the heart. ¹³ Neither is there any creature invisible in the sight of it. For all things are naked and bare unto the eyes of him, of whom we speak.

¹ Wherefore, let us leave the doctrine pertaining to the beginning of a Christian man, and let us go unto perfection, and now no more lay the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

⁶ if they fall away, should be renewed again unto repentance: Forasmuch as they have, as concerning themselves, crucified the son of God afresh, making a mock of him.

²⁵ Wherefore he is able also ever to save them that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth, to make intercession for us.

¹ Of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: that we have such a high priest, that is sitten on the righthand of the seat of majesty in heaven;

¹⁵ And for this cause is he the mediator of the new testament, that through death which chanced for the redemption of those transgressions that were in the first testament, they which were called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

²⁸ even so Christ was once offered to take away the sins of many, and unto them that look for him, shall he appear again, without sin, unto their salvation.

¹² but this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat him down for ever on the righthand of God,

³⁵ Cast not away, therefore, your confidence; which hath great reward to recompense.

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: For he that cometh to God, must believe that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek him.

¹³ And they all died in faith, and received not the promises: but saw them afar off, and believed them, and saluted them: and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ They that say such things, declare that they seek a country. ¹⁵ Also, if they had been mindful of that country, from whence they came out, they had leisure to have returned again. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is to say a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them, even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

¹ Wherefore let us also — seeing that we are compassed with so great a multitude of witnesses — lay away all that presseth down, and the sin that hangeth on us, and let us run with patience, unto the battle that is set before us, ² looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, which for the joy that was set before him, abode the cross, and despised the shame, and is set down on the righthand of the throne of God.

⁵ And ye have forgotten the consolation which speaketh unto you, as unto children, "My son despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither faint when thou art rebuked of him: ⁶ For whom the Lord loveth, him he chasteneth: yea, and he scourgeth every son that he receiveth." ⁷ If ye shall endure chastening, God offereth himself unto you, as unto sons. What son is that whom the father chasteneth not? ⁸ If ye be not under correction — whereof all are partakers — then are ye bastards and not sons. ⁹ Moreover, seeing we had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: should we not much rather be in subjection unto the father of spiritual gifts that we might live? ¹⁰ And they verily for a few days nurtured us after their own pleasure; but he learneth us unto that which is profitable, that we might receive of his holiness. ¹¹ No manner chastising for the present time seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it bringeth the quiet fruit of righteousness unto them which are therein exercised. ¹² Stretch forth therefore again the hands which were let down, and the weak knees, ¹³ and see that ye have straight steps unto your feet, lest any halting turn out of the way: yea, let it rather be healed. ¹⁴ Embrace peace with all men, and holiness; without the which, no man shall see the Lord. ¹⁵ And look to, that no man be destitute of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness spring up and trouble; and thereby many be defiled: ¹⁶ and that there be no fornicator, or unclean person, as Esau, which for one breakfast sold his birthright.

⁴ Let wedlock be had in price in all points, and let the chamber be undefiled: for whore keepers and adulterers God will judge.

¹⁵ For by him offer we the sacrifice of praise always to God: that is to say, the fruit of those lips, which confess his name.

²¹ make you perfect in all good works, to do his will, working in you that which is pleasant in his sight through Iesus Christ: To whom be praise for ever while the world endureth. Amen.

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, which giveth to all men indifferently and casteth no man in the teeth; and it shall be given him.

²⁰ For the wrath of man worketh not that which is righteous before God. ²¹ Wherefore lay apart all filthiness, all superfluity of maliciousness, and receive with meekness the word that is grafted in you, which is able to save your souls:

⁷ Do not they speak evil of that good name after which ye be named?

¹³ For there shall be judgment, merciless, to him that showeth no mercy, and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

⁴ Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the violence of the governor will: ⁵ even so the tongue is little member and boasteth great things. Behold how great a thing a little fire kindleth, ⁶ and the tongue is fire, and a world of wickedness. So is the tongue set among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth afire all that we have of nature, and is itself set afire, even of hell.

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, rejoice not: neither be liars against the truth.

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, rejoice not: neither be liars against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom descendeth not from above: but is earthy, and natural, and devilish. ¹⁶ For where envying and strife is, there is unstableness, and all manner of evil works: ¹⁷ but the wisdom that is from above, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, and without simulation.

¹⁷ but the wisdom that is from above, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, and without simulation. ¹⁸ Yea, and the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace, of them that maintain peace.

¹ From whence cometh war, and fighting among you? Come they not here hence, even of your voluptuousness that raineth in your members?

¹³ If any of you be evil vexed, let him pray. If any of you be merry, let him sing Psalms.

² Elect by the foreknowledge of God the father, through the sanctifying of the spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace be with you, and peace be multiplied. ³ Blessed be God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which through his abundant mercy begat us again unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from death, ⁴ to enjoy an inheritance immortal, and undefiled, and that perisheth not; reserved in heaven for you ⁵ which are kept by the power of God through salvation, which salvation is prepared already to be showed in the last time,

¹¹ searching when, or at what time, the spirit of Christ which was in them should signify — which spirit testified before — the passions that should come unto Christ, and the glory that should follow after. ¹² Unto which prophets it was declared, that not unto themselves, but unto us, they should minister the things which are now showed unto you, of them which, by the holy ghost sent down from heaven, have preached unto you the things which the angels desire to behold. ¹³ Wherefore, gird up the loins of your minds, be sober, and trust perfectly on the grace that is brought unto you by the declaring of Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves unto your old lusts of ignorance:

¹⁴ as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves unto your old lusts of ignorance: ¹⁵ But as he which called you is holy, even so be ye holy in all manner of conversation,

¹⁷ And if so be that ye call on the father, which without respect of person judgeth according to every man's works, see that ye pass the time of your pilgrimage in fear:

²² And forasmuch as ye have purified your souls through the spirit, in obeying the truth for to love brotherly without feigning, see that ye love one another with a pure heart, fervently:

¹ Wherefore, lay aside all maliciousness, and all guile, and dissimulation, and envy, and all backbiting:

⁵ and ye, as living stones, are made a spiritual house, and a holy priesthood, for to offer up spiritual sacrifice, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people, that ye should show the virtues of him that called you out of darkness into his marvelous light,

¹¹ Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers, and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which fight against the soul,

¹³ Submit yourselves unto all manner ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether it be unto the King as unto the chief head;

¹⁵ For so is the will of God, that ye put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men:

¹⁸ Servants obey your masters with all fear, not only if they be good and courteous: but also though they be froward. ¹⁹ For it is thankworthy if a man, for conscience toward God, endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

²¹ For hereunto verily were ye called, for Christ also suffered for us: leaving us an example that ye should follow his steps,

¹ Likewise, let the wives be in subjection to their husbands, that even they which believe not the word, may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives: ² while they behold your pure conversation coupled with fear. ³ Whose apparel shall not be outward with broided hair, and hanging on of gold, other in putting on of gorgeous apparel: ⁴ but let the hid man of the heart be uncorrupt, with a meek and a quiet spirit, which spirit is, before God, a thing much set by.

⁴ but let the hid man of the heart be uncorrupt, with a meek and a quiet spirit, which spirit is, before God, a thing much set by. ⁵ For after this manner in the old time did the holy women which trusted in God tire themselves, and were obedient to their husbands, ⁶ even as Sara obeyed Abraham and called him "Lord" — whose daughters ye are as long as ye do well, not being afraid of every shadow. ⁷ Likewise, ye men, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as unto them that are heirs also of the grace of life, that your prayers be not let. ⁸ In conclusion, be ye all of one mind, one suffer with another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous, ⁹ not rendering evil for evil, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrariwise, bless: remembering that ye are thereunto called, even that ye should be heirs of blessing. ¹⁰ If any man long after life, and loveth to see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips, that they speak not guile: ¹¹ Let him eschew evil and do good: let him seek peace, and ensue it.

²² which is our righthand of God, and is gone into heaven: angels, power, and might subdued unto him.

³ For it is sufficient for us that we have spent the time that is past of the life, after the will of the gentiles; walking in wantonness, lusts, drunkenness, in eating, drinking, and in abominable idolatry. ⁴ And it seemeth to them a strange thing that ye run not also with them unto the same excess of riot, and therefore speak they evil of you,

⁸ But above all things, have fervent love among you. For love covereth the multitude of sins.

¹¹ If any man speak, let him talk as though he spake the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God ministereth unto him. That God, in all things, may be glorified through Jesus Christ: to whom be praise and dominion forever and while the world standeth. Amen.

⁴ And when the chief shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive an incorruptible crown of glory.

¹ Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them which have obtained like precious faith with us in the righteousness that cometh of our God and saviour Jesus Christ.

⁵ And hereunto, give all diligence: In your faith, minister virtue; and in virtue, knowledge; ⁶ and in knowledge, temperance; and in temperance, patience; in patience, godliness; ⁷ in godliness, brotherly kindness; in brotherly kindness, love.

⁷ in godliness, brotherly kindness; in brotherly kindness, love. ⁸ For if these things be among you, and are plenteous, they will make you that ye neither shall be idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of the our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence for to make your calling and election sure. For if ye do such things, ye shall never err.

⁷ And just Lot, vexed with the uncleanly conversation of the wicked, delivered he -

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease to sin, beguiling unstable souls. Hearts they have exercised with covetousness. They are cursed children,

¹⁸ For when they have spoken the swelling words of vanity, they beguile with wantonness through the lusts of the flesh them that were clean escaped: but now are wrapped in errors.

¹ That which was from the beginning, declare we unto you; which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life. ² For the life appeared: and we have seen, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the father, and appeared unto us.

³ And hereby we are sure that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

⁵ He that keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfect, indeed. And hereby know we that we are in him.

¹⁴ I write unto you fathers, how that ye have known him that was from the beginning. I write unto you young men, how that ye be strong; and the word of God dwelleth in you, that ye have overcome the wicked. ¹⁵ See that ye love not the world, nor the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world — as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of goods — are not of the father: but of the world. ¹⁷ And the world vanisheth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God, abideth ever.

²³ Whosoever denieth the son, the same hath not the father. ²⁴ Let therefore abide in you that same which ye heard at the beginning. If that which ye heard at the beginning shall remain in you, then ye also shall continue in the son, and in the father.

²⁷ And the anointing which ye have received of him dwelleth in you. And ye need not that any man teach you: but as the anointing teacheth you all things, and is true, and is no lie: and as it taught you, even so bide therein. ²⁸ And now babes, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence and not be made ashamed of him at his coming.

² Dearly beloved, now are we the sons of God, and yet it doth not appear what we shall be. But we know that when it shall appear, we shall be like him. For we shall see him as he is.

¹⁴ We know that we are translated from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death. ¹⁵ Whosoever hateth his brother, is a man slayer. And ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. ¹⁶ Hereby are we assured of love: because he left his life for us: And therefore we ought also to give our lives for our brethren. ¹⁷ He, then, that hath the substance of the world, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, nor with the tongue: but with the deed, and of a truth:

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, nor with the tongue: but with the deed, and of a truth: ¹⁹ for thereby we know that we be of the truth, and so shall we certify our hearts in his sight. ²⁰ But if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and knoweth all things.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave commandment.

⁷ Dearly beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God. And all that love are born of God, and knoweth God. ⁸ And he that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is love. ⁹ Herein appeared the love of God to us ward, because that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we should live through him. ¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his son to make a satisfaction for our sins. ¹¹ Dearly beloved, if God so loved us, then we ought also to love one another. ¹² No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfect in us.

¹⁹ We love him, because he loved us first.

²¹ And this commandment have we of him: that he which loveth God, should love his brother also.

¹¹ And this is the witness: how that God hath given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his son. ¹² He that hath the son, hath life: and he that hath not the son of God, hath not life.

¹² He that hath the son, hath life: and he that hath not the son of God, hath not life.

²⁰ We know that the son of God is come, and hath given us understanding, to know him that is true: and we be in the truth through his son Jesus Christ. He is very God, and eternal life.

² for the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be in us for ever.

⁹ Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that endureth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the father, and the son.

¹³ The sons of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. {Here ends the Second General Epistle of John}

¹ Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, the brother of James. To them which are called and sanctified in God the father, and preserved in Christ Jesus.

⁸ Likewise these dreamers defile the flesh, despise rulers, and speak evil of them that are in authority.

¹³ They are raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame. They are wandering stars, to whom is reserved the mist of darkness forever.

¹⁶ These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts, whose mouths speak proud things. They have men in great reverence because of advantage.

²⁴ Unto him that is able to keep you, that ye fall not, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with joy,

⁷ Let him that hath ears hear, what the spirit saith unto the congregations. To him that overcometh, will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.'

¹⁷ Let him that hath ears hear what the spirit sayth unto the congregations: To him that overcometh will I give to eat Manna that is hid, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth, saving he that receiveth it.'

⁹ and they sung a new song saying, "Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast killed, and hast redeemed us by thy blood, out of all kindreds, and tongues, and people, and nations,

¹² saying, amen, "Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanks, and honour, and power and might, be unto our God, for evermore, amen."

³ And they sang as it were a new song, before the seat, and before the four beasts, and the elders and no man could learn that song, but the hundred and forty four thousand which were redeemed from the earth.

³ and they sang the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the lamb, saying,

⁹ And the men raged in great heat, and spake evil of the name of God which hath power over those plagues, and they repented not, to give him glory.

¹⁴ These shall fight with the lamb, and the lamb shall overcome them: For he is Lord of Lords, and King of Kings: and they that are on his side, are called, and chosen, and faithful."

¹⁰ And I fell at his feet, to worship him. And he said unto me, "See thou do it not. For I am thy fellow servant, and one of thy brethren, and of them that have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

⁵ And he that sat upon the seat said, "Behold I make all things new." And he said unto me, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."

⁸ But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

²⁷ And there shall enter into it none unclean thing; neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh lies, but they only which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the seat of God and of the lamb.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commandments, that their power may be in the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. ¹⁵ For without shall be dogs and enchanters, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth or maketh lies.
