⁵ While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud shadowed them. And behold, there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is my dear son, in whom I delight; hear him."

²⁸ Even as the son of man came, not to be ministered unto, but to minister: and to give his life for the redemption of many."

⁴³ He said unto them, "How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, ⁴⁴ 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand: till I make thine enemies thy footstool.' ⁴⁵ If David call him Lord: How is he then his son?"

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.

³¹ "When the son of man shall cometh in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his glory ³² and before him shall be gathered all nations. And he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats.

³² and before him shall be gathered all nations. And he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats. ³³ And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left hand. ³⁴ Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, 'Come, ye blessed children of my father, inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.

³⁴ Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, 'Come, ye blessed children of my father, inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. ³⁵ For I was a hungered, and ye gave me meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me drink. I was harborless, and ye lodged me. I was naked and ye clothed me. ³⁶ I was sick and ye visited me. I was in prison and ye came unto me.'

²⁸ This is my blood of the new testament, that shall be shed for many, for the forgiveness of sins.

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."

¹⁸ And Jesus came, and spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven, and in earth.

¹⁸ And Jesus came, and spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven, and in earth. ¹⁹ Go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy ghost;

¹⁵ and saying, "The time is full come, and the kingdom of God is even at hand. Repent, and believe the gospel."

²⁴ And he said unto them, "This is my blood, of the New Testament, which is shed for many.

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."

¹⁵ And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all creatures: ¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptised, shall be saved: But he that believeth not, shall be damned.

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

⁷⁴ That we, delivered out of the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear: ⁷⁵ all the days of our life, in such holiness and righteousness that are accept before him.

⁷⁷ And to give knowledge of salvation unto his people, for the remission of sins:

¹⁴ "Glory to God on high: and peace on the earth, and unto men, rejoicing."

²⁸ then took he him up in his arms and said,

⁴⁰ And Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee." And he said, "Master say on." ⁴¹ "There was a certain lender, which had two debtors, the one ought five hundred pence, and the other fifty. ⁴² When they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them tell me, will love him most?"

⁴⁷ Wherefore I say unto thee, Many sins are forgiven her, for she loved much. To whom less is forgiven, the same doeth less love." 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."

²¹ That same time rejoiced Jesus in the holy ghost, and said, "I confess unto thee father Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast opened them to the babes. Even so, father, for so pleased it thee.

¹³ If ye then which are evil, can give good gifts unto your children: How much more shall the father of heaven give a holy spirit to them, that desire it of him?"

³² The men of Nineveh shall rise at the judgment, with this generation, and shall condemn them: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah: And behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

¹² For the holy ghost shall teach you in the same hour, what ye ought to say."

¹⁰ He that is faithful in that which is least: the same is faithful in much.

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, where against all your adversaries shall not be able to speak nor resist.

²⁸ When these things begin to come to pass: then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh."

⁴⁵ Then opened he their wits, that they might understand the scriptures,

⁴⁷ And that repentance, and remission of sins, should be preached in his name among all nations. And must begin at Jerusalem.

⁴⁹ And behold, I will send the promise of my father upon you. But tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."

¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he power to be the sons of God: in that they believed on his name:

¹⁶ And of his fullness have all we received, even grace for grace. ¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh. And that which is born of the spirit, is spirit.

³⁵ The father loveth the son, and hath given all things into his hand.

²⁵ Verily, verily I say unto you, the time shall come, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God. And they that hear, shall live. ²⁶ For as the father hath life in himself, so likewise hath he given to the son to have life in himself. ²⁷ And hath given him power also to judge in that he is the son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this: that the hour shall come, in which all that are in the graves, shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and shall come forth: They that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; And they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

²⁷ Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat that endureth unto everlasting life, which meat the son of man shall give unto you. For him hath God the father sealed."

⁵⁴ Jesus answered, "If I honour myself, mine honour is nothing worth. It is my father that honoureth me, which ye say is your God. ⁵⁵ And ye have not known him. And if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like unto you; But I know him, and keep his saying.

¹⁶ and other sheep I have, which are not of this fold. Them also must I bring, that they may hear my voice. And that there may be one flock, and one shepherd. ¹⁷ Therefore doth my father love me: because I put my life from me, that I might take it again. ¹⁸ No man taketh it from me: but I put it away of myself. I have power to put it from me, and power I have to take it again. This commandment have I received of my father."

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."

³⁰ And I and my father are one."

⁵² and not for the people only: but that he should gather together in one the children of God which were scattered abroad.

¹ And he said unto his disciples, "Let not your hearts be troubled: believe in God, and believe in me.

¹⁶ and I will pray the father: and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you ever, ¹⁷ which is the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive; because the world seeth him not, neither knoweth him. But ye know him. For he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

¹⁷ which is the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive; because the world seeth him not, neither knoweth him. But ye know him. For he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

²⁰ That day shall ye know that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you.

²⁶ But that comforter, which is the holy ghost — whom my father will send in my name — he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have told you.

² Every branch that beareth not fruit in me, he will take away. And every branch that beareth fruit will he purge, that it may bring more fruit. ³ Now are ye clean, through the words which I have spoken unto you. ⁴ Abide in me, and let me abide in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine: no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 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.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that ye go, and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the father in my name he should give it you.

²⁶ "But when the comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the father, which is the spirit of truth which proceedeth of the father, he shall testify of me.

³ And such things will they do unto you, because they have not known the father, neither yet me.

⁷ "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is expedient for you that I go away. For if I go not away, that comforter will not come unto you. But if I depart, I will send him unto you. ⁸ And when he is come, he will rebuke the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. ⁹ Of sin, because they believe not on me: ¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to my father, and ye shall see me no more: ¹¹ And of judgment, because the chief ruler of this world is judged already. ¹² I have yet many things to say unto you, But ye cannot bear them away now. ¹³ Howbeit, when he is once come — I mean the spirit of truth — he will lead you into all truth. He shall not speak of himself: but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will show you things to come. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine, and shall show unto you. ¹⁵ All things that the father hath are mine. Therefore said I unto you that he shall take of mine and show unto you.

¹ These words spake Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour is come glorify thy son that thy son may glorify thee: ² As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. ³ This is life eternal: that they might know thee, that only very God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.

³ This is life eternal: that they might know thee, that only very God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. ⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. ⁵ And now glorify me, thou father, with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee yer the world was.

²¹ that they all may be one, as thou father art in me, and I in thee; that they may be also one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent 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. ²⁵ O righteous father, the very world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it, that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, be in them, and that I be in them."

¹⁷ Jesus said unto her, "Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my father. But go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my father, and your father: to my God and your God."

²³ Whosoever's sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them: And whosoever's sins ye retain, they are retained."

⁴ and gathered them together, and commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but to "Wait for the promise of the father, whereof ye have heard of me.

¹⁶ but this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel, ¹⁷ 'It shall be in the last days, saith God, of my spirit I will pour out upon all flesh. And your sons, and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions. And your old men shall dream dreams. ¹⁸ And on my servants, and on my handmaidens I will pour out of my spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. ¹⁹ And I will show wonders in heaven above, and tokens in the earth beneath, blood and fire, and the vapour of smoke. ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great, and notable day of the Lord come.' ²¹ And it shall be that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. ²² "Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you with miracles and wonders, and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know: ²³ him have ye taken by the hands of unrighteous persons, after he was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, and have crucified and slain him whom God hath raised up: ²⁴ and loosed the sorrows of death, because it was impossible that he should be holden of it. ²⁵ For David speaketh of him, 'Aforehand, saw I God always before me: For he is on my righthand, that I should not be moved. ²⁶ Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad. Moreover also, my flesh shall rest in hope ²⁷ because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt suffer thine holy to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou hast showed me the ways of life; and shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.' ²⁹ "Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David: For he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with us unto his day. ³⁰ Therefore seeing he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him, that the fruit of his loins should sit on his seat — in that Christ should rise again in the flesh - ³¹ He saw before, and spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul should not be left in hell: neither his flesh should see corruption. ³² This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. ³³ Since now that he by the righthand of God exalted is, and hath received of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth that which ye now see and hear.

³³ Since now that he by the righthand of God exalted is, and hath received of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth that which ye now see and hear. ³⁴ For David is not ascended into heaven, but he said, ³⁵ 'The Lord said to my Lord sit on my right hand, until I make thy foes, thy footstool.' ³⁶ So therefore let all the house of Israel know for a surety, that God hath made the same Jesus whom ye have crucified, Lord and Christ."

³⁸ Peter said unto them, "Repent, and be baptised every one of of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy ghost.

¹⁹ Repent ye, therefore, and turn: that your sins may be done away when the time of refreshing cometh, which we shall have of the presence of the Lord,

¹⁰ be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, and whom God raised from death again, even by him doth this man stand here present before you whole.

¹² Neither is there salvation in any other. Nor yet also is there any other name given to men wherein we must be saved."

²⁸ for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

³¹ Him hath God lift up with his right hand, to be a ruler and a saviour: for to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

¹⁰ And they could not resist the wisdom, and the spirit, with which he spake.

² And he said, "Ye men, brethren, and fathers, hearken to. The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham while he was yet in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,

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, ⁵⁶ and said, "Behold, I see the heavens open, and the son of man standing on the righthand of God."

⁴⁰ Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly,

⁴³ To him giveth all the prophets witness, that through his name all that believe in him shall receive remission of sins."

²⁶ Ye men and brethren, children of the generation off Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is this word of salvation sent.

³⁸ Be it known unto you therefore, ye men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins; ³⁹ And that by him are all that believe justified from all things, from the which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

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.

¹⁸ Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

¹⁴ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, gave us audience: whose heart the Lord opened that she attended unto the things which Paul spake. ¹⁵ When she was baptised, and her household, she besought us saying, "If ye think that I believe on the Lord come into my house, and abide there." And she constrained us.

¹⁰ for I am with thee, and no man shall invade thee that shall hurt thee. For I have much people in this city."

¹ It fortuned, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul passed through the upper coasts, and came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples ² and said unto them, "Have ye received the holy ghost since ye believed?" And they said unto him, "No. We have not heard whether there be any holy ghost or no." ³ And he said unto them, "Wherewith were ye then baptised?" And they said, "With John's baptism." ⁴ Then said Paul, "John verily baptised with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him, which should come after him. That is on Christ Jesus." ⁵ When they heard that, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And Paul laid his hands upon them: and the holy ghost came on them, and they spake with tongues and prophesied; ⁷ and all the men were about twelve. ⁸ And he went into the synagogue, and behaved himself boldly for the space of three months: disputing, and giving them exhortations of the kingdom of God. ⁹ When divers waxed hard hearted, and believed not, but spake evil of the way of the Lord, and that before the multitude: he departed from them; And separated the disciples away; And disputed daily in the school of one called Tyrannus. ¹⁰ And this continued by the space of two years: So that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. ¹¹ And God wrought not small miracles by the hands of Paul. ¹² So that from his body were brought unto the sick, napkins or partlets, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. ¹³ Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus saying, "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth." ¹⁴ And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew and chief of the priests, which did so: ¹⁵ and the evil spirit answered and said, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know: but who are ye?" ¹⁶ And the man in whom the evil spirit was, ran on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 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. ¹⁸ And many that believed came, and confessed and showed their works. ¹⁹ Many of them which used curious crafts, brought their books and burned them before all men, and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand silverlings. ²⁰ So mightily grew the word of God, and prevailed.

²⁷ For I have kept nothing back: but have showed you all the counsel of God. ²⁸ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, whereof the holy ghost hath made you overseers: to rule the congregation of God, which he hath purchased with his blood.

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.

⁸ Why should it be thought a thing incredible unto you, that God should raise again the dead?

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.'

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

⁴ and declared to be the son of God with power of the holy ghost, that sanctifieth, since the time that Jesus Christ our Lord rose again from death:

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. ⁹ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit, in the Gospel of his son that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God unto salvation to all that believe; namely to the Jew, and also to the gentile.

²⁸ And as it seemed not good unto them to be a known of God, even so God delivered them up unto a lewd mind, that they should do those things which were not comely,

⁴ Either despisest thou the riches of his goodness and patience, and long sufferance? And rememberest not how that the kindness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

²² The righteousness, no doubt, which is good before God cometh by the faith of Jesus Christ: unto all, and upon all them that believe. ²³ There is no difference: For all have sinned, and lack the praise that is of valour before God: ²⁴ but are justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

²⁴ but are justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus ²⁵ — whom God hath set forth for a mercy seat through faith in his blood, to show the righteousness which before him is of valour, in that he forgiveth the sins that are passed, ²⁶ which God did suffer to show at this time: the righteousness that is allowed of him, that he might be counted just, and a justifier of him which believeth on Jesus.

⁶ Even as David describeth the blessedfulness of the man, unto whom God ascribeth righteousness without deeds, ⁷ "Blessed are they, whose unrighteousnesses are forgiven and whose sins are covered. ⁸ Blessed is that man to whom the Lord imputeth not sin." ⁹ Came this blessedness then upon the circumcised or upon the uncircumcised? We say verily how that faith was reckoned to Abraham, for righteousness.

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;

⁴ patience bringeth experience, experience bringeth hope, ⁵ and hope maketh not ashamed: for the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the holy ghost, which is given unto us.

¹⁵ But the gift is not like as the sin. For if, through the sin of one, many be dead: much more plenteous, upon many, was the grace of God and gift by grace: which grace was given by one man, Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ But the gift is not like as the sin. For if, through the sin of one, many be dead: much more plenteous, upon many, was the grace of God and gift by grace: which grace was given by one man, Jesus Christ. ¹⁶ And the gift is not over one sin, as death came through one sin of one that sinned. For damnation came of one sin unto condemnation: But the gift came to justify from many sins. ¹⁷ For if by the sin of one, death reigned by the means of one, much more shall they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life by the means of one; that is to say, Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ Likewise, then, as by the sin of one, condemnation came on all men: even so, by the justifying of one cometh the righteousness that bringeth life, upon all men. ¹⁹ For as by one man's disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. ²⁰ But the law, in the meantime, entered in that sin should increase. Neverthelater, where abundance of sin was, there was more plenteousness of grace. ²¹ That as sin had reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, by the help of Jesus Christ.

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. ⁷ For he that is dead, is justified from sin. ⁸ Wherefore if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live with him: 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.

¹⁷ God be thanked, that though ye were once the servants of sin, ye have yet obeyed with your heart unto the form of doctrine where unto ye were delivered.

¹ There is, then, no damnation to them which are in Christ Jesus: which walk not after the flesh but after the spirit:

¹⁴ for as many as are led by the spirit of God: they are the sons of God. ¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage to fear anymore, but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, "Abba father." ¹⁶ The same spirit certifieth our spirit that we are the sons of God. ¹⁷ If we be sons, we are also heirs: the heirs, I mean, of God: and heirs annexed with Christ. If so be that we suffer together, that we may be glorified together.

¹⁷ If we be sons, we are also heirs: the heirs, I mean, of God: and heirs annexed with Christ. If so be that we suffer together, that we may be glorified together.

²³ Not they only, but even we also: which have the first fruits of the spirit mourn in ourselves and wait for the adoption and look for the deliverance of our bodies. ²⁴ For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is no hope. For how can a man hope for that which he seeth? ²⁵ But and if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience abide for it.

²⁸ For we know well that all things work for the best unto them that love God, which also are called of purpose.

²⁸ For we know well that all things work for the best unto them that love God, which also are called of purpose. 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.

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.

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, ¹² "The elder shall serve the younger." ¹³ As it is written, "Jacob he loved, but Esau he hated." ¹⁴ What shall we say then? Is there any unrighteousness with God? God forbid. ¹⁵ For he saith to Moses, "I will show mercy to whom I show mercy: And will have compassion on whom I have compassion." ¹⁶ So lieth it not then in a man's will, or cunning, but in the mercy of God.

²³ that he might declare the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared unto glory:

²³ that he might declare the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared unto glory: ²⁴ that is to say, us which he called, not of the Jews only, but also of the gentiles.

¹⁴ But how shall they call on him, on whom they believed not? How shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without a preacher? ¹⁵ And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them which bring glad tidings of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things." ¹⁶ But they have not all obeyed to the gospel. For Isaiah saith, "Lord, who shall believe our sayings?" 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.

³³ O the deepness of the abundant wisdom and knowledge of God: how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out. ³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who was his counselor?

⁵ So we, being many, are one body in Christ — and every man, among ourselves, one another's members.

⁵ Wherefore ye must needs obey, not for fear of vengeance only: but also because of conscience.

⁶ that ye, all agreeing together, may with one mouth praise God the father of our Lord Jesus.

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.

²⁵ To him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel and preaching of Jesus Christ, in uttering of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began, ²⁶ but now is opened at this time and declared opened by the scriptures of prophecy, at the commandment of the everlasting God, to stir up obedience to the faith published among all nations: ²⁷ To the same God, which alone is wise, be praise through Jesus Christ for ever Amen. {To the Romans. Sent from Corinth by Phoebe, she that was the minister unto the congregation at Cenchreae}

¹ Paul, by vocation an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes.

¹ Paul, by vocation an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes. ² Unto the congregation of God which is at Corinth. To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ, saints by calling, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both of theirs and of ours.

⁸ which shall strengthen you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent." ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness? ²¹ For when the world, through wisdom, knew not God in the wisdom of God: it pleased God through foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

²¹ For when the world, through wisdom, knew not God in the wisdom of God: it pleased God through foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. ²² For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom. ²³ But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews, an occasion of falling; and unto the Greeks, foolishness. ²⁴ But unto them which are called, both of Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

³⁰ And unto him pertain ye, in Christ Jesus, which of God is made unto us wisdom, and also righteousness, and sanctifying, and redemption.

⁷ but we speak the wisdom of God, which is in secret and lieth hid, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: ⁸ which wisdom none of the rulers of the world knew. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

¹⁰ But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, yea the bottom of God's secrets.

¹⁰ But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, yea the bottom of God's secrets. ¹¹ For what man knoweth the things of a man: save the spirit of a man which is within him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God. ¹² And we have not received the spirit of the world: but the spirit which cometh of God, for to know the things that are given to us of God,

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.

¹² and labour working with our own hands. We are reviled, and yet we bless. We are persecuted, and suffer it.

¹⁷ For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, which is my dear son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my ways which I have in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in all congregations.

¹¹ All these things happened upon them for examples, and were written to put us in remembrance, whom the ends of the world are come upon.

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.

⁶ And there are divers manners of operations, and yet but one God, which worketh all things that are wrought in all creatures.

⁸ To one is given, through the spirit, the utterance of wisdom; to another is given the utterance of knowledge by the same spirit;

¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of one body though they be many, yet are but one body: even so is Christ.

¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of one body though they be many, yet are but one body: even so is Christ. 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. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot say, "I am not the hand, therefore I am not of the body," is he therefore not of the body? ¹⁶ And if the ear say, "I am not the eye, therefore I am not of the body," is he therefore not of the body? ¹⁷ If all the body were an eye: where were then the ear? If all were hearing: where were the smelling? ¹⁸ But now hath God disposed the members, every one of them in the body, at his own pleasure. ¹⁹ If they were all one member: where were the body? ²⁰ Now are there many members, yet but one body. ²¹ And the eye cannot say unto the hand, "I have no need of thee," nor the head also to the feet, "I have no need of you." ²² Yea, rather a great deal those members of the body which seem to be most feeble, are most necessary. ²³ And upon those members of that body which we think least honest, put we most honesty on. And our ungoodly parts have most beauty on. ²⁴ For our honest members need it not: but God hath so disposed the body, and hath given most honour to that part which lacked, ²⁵ lest there should be any strife in the body: but that the members should indifferently care for one another. ²⁶ And if one member suffer, all suffer with him: if one member be had in honour, all members be glad also. ²⁷ Ye are the body of Christ, and members one of another.

⁶ Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues: what shall I profit you? Except I speak to you, either by revelation, or knowledge, or prophesying, or doctrine.

²⁵ For he must reign till he have put all his enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. ²⁷ "For he hath put all things under his feet." But when he saith, "All things are put under him," it is manifest, that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. ²⁸ When all things are subdued unto him: then shall the son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all things.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy. Unto the congregation of God, which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: ² Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ³ Blessed be God the father of our Lord Jesus the Christ, father of mercy, and the God of all comfort,

²² which hath also sealed us, and hath given the earnest of the spirit into our hearts.

⁴ in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest should shine unto them the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, which is the image of God.

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. ⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellent power of it might appear to be of God, and not of us.

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.

⁵ He that hath ordained us for this thing, is God: which very same hath given unto us the earnest of the spirit.

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

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.

⁷ in the words of truth, in the power of God, by the armour of righteousness of the right hand and on the left hand,

¹⁸ and will be a father unto you, and ye shall be unto me sons and daughters," saith the Lord almighty.

⁹ Ye know the liberality of our Lord Jesus Christ, which though he were rich, yet for your sakes became poor: that ye through his poverty might be made rich.

³¹ The God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

¹ It is not expedient for me, no doubt, to rejoice; Nevertheless I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

¹ Paul an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and by God the father which raised him from death,

³ Grace be with you and peace from God the father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹² neither received I it of man, neither was I taught it: but received it by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ for to declare his son by me, that I should preach him among the heathen: Immediately I commended not of the matter with flesh and blood,

⁹ So then, they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

¹⁴ that the blessing of Abraham might come on the gentiles through Jesus Christ, and that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith.

¹⁸ For if the inheritance come of the law, it cometh not of promise: but God gave it unto Abraham by promise.

²⁶ For ye are all the sons of God, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

⁴ But when the time was full come, God sent his son — born of a woman, and made bond unto the law - ⁵ to redeem them which were under the law: that we through election might receive the inheritance that belongeth unto the natural sons. ⁶ Because ye are sons, God hath sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, which crieth "Abba, father."

⁶ Because ye are sons, God hath sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, which crieth "Abba, father."

⁵ We look for, and hope in the spirit, to be justified through faith. ⁶ For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.

¹³ Brethren, ye were called into liberty, only let not your liberty be an occasion unto the flesh but in love serve one another.

²² But the fruit of the spirit is: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance.

³ Blessed be God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which hath blessed us with all manner of spiritual blessings in heavenly things by Christ,

⁵ And ordained us before unto himself that we should be chosen before, through Jesus Christ, to be heirs unto himself according to the pleasure of his will, ⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made us accepted in the beloved. ⁷ By whom we have redemption through his blood, that is to say, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace,

⁷ By whom we have redemption through his blood, that is to say, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace,

⁷ By whom we have redemption through his blood, that is to say, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, ⁸ which grace he shed on us abundantly in all wisdom, and prudence.

⁸ which grace he shed on us abundantly in all wisdom, and prudence. ⁹ And hath opened unto us the mystery of his will according to his pleasure, and purposed ¹⁰ the same in himself to have it declared when the time were full come: that all things, both the things which are in heaven, and also the things which are in earth, should be gathered together, even in Christ. That is to say, in him ¹¹ in whom we are made heirs, and were thereto predestinate according to the purpose of him which worketh all things after the purpose of his own will: ¹² that we should be unto the praise of his glory, which before believed in Christ. ¹³ In whom also ye — after that ye heard the word of truth, I mean the gospel of your salvation wherein ye believed — were sealed with the holy spirit of promise, ¹⁴ which is the earnest of our inheritance, to redeem the possession purchased, and that unto the laud of his glory.

¹⁴ which is the earnest of our inheritance, to redeem the possession purchased, and that unto the laud of his glory.

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,

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, ¹⁸ and lighten the eyes of your minds, that ye might know what thing that hope is, whereunto he hath called you, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is upon the saints,

¹⁸ and lighten the eyes of your minds, that ye might know what thing that hope is, whereunto he hath called you, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is upon the saints,

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him on his righthand in heavenly things,

²² And hath put all things under his feet, and hath made him above all things, the head of the congregation:

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 - ⁶ and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly things through Christ Jesus.

⁶ and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly things through Christ Jesus. ⁷ For to show, in times to come, the exceeding riches of his grace, in kindness to us ward, in 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. ¹¹ Wherefore, remember that ye, being in time past gentiles in the flesh, and were called "uncircumcision" to them which are called "circumcision" in the flesh — which circumcision is made by hands - 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.

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.

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:

³ For by revelation showed he this mystery unto me, as I wrote above in few words, ⁴ whereby, when ye read ye may know mine understanding in the mystery of Christ, ⁵ which mystery in times past was not opened unto the sons of men as it is now declared unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit:

⁵ which mystery in times past was not opened unto the sons of men as it is now declared unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit: 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, ⁷ whereof I am made a minister, by the gift of the grace of God given unto me, through the working of his power.

⁷ whereof I am made a minister, by the gift of the grace of God given unto me, through the working of his power. ⁸ Unto me, the least of all saints, is this grace given; that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

⁸ Unto me, the least of all saints, is this grace given; that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, ⁹ and to make all men see what the fellowship of the mystery is, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, which made all things through Jesus Christ, ¹⁰ to the intent that now, unto the rulers and powers in heaven, might be known by the congregation the manifold wisdom of God,

¹⁰ to the intent that now, unto the rulers and powers in heaven, might be known by the congregation the manifold wisdom of God, ¹¹ according to that eternal purpose, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

¹¹ according to that eternal purpose, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

¹⁵ which is father over all that is called father in heaven and in earth, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, ¹⁶ that ye may be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man, ¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ might be able to comprehend with all saints, what is that breadth and length, depth and height: ¹⁹ and to know what is the love of Christ, which love passeth knowledge: that ye might be fulfilled with all manner of fullness which cometh of God.

¹⁹ and to know what is the love of Christ, which love passeth knowledge: that ye might be fulfilled with all manner of fullness which cometh of God. ²⁰ Unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, ²¹ be praise in the congregation by Jesus Christ, throughout all generations from time to time. Amen.

¹ I therefore which am in bonds for the Lord's sake, exhort you, that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, ² in all humbleness of mind, and meekness, and long suffering, forbearing one another through love,

⁴ being one body, and one spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.

⁸ Wherefore he saith, "He is gone up on high, and hath led captivity captive, and hath given gifts unto men." ⁹ That he ascended: what meaneth it, but that he also descended first into the lowest parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He that descended, is even the same also that ascended up, even above all heavens, to fulfill all things.

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

¹² that the saints might have all things necessary to work and minister withal, to the edifying of the body of Christ,

¹⁵ But let us follow the truth in love, and in all things grow in him which is the head, that is to say Christ, 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.

²¹ If so be ye have heard of him, and are taught in him, even as the truth is in Jesus:

³⁰ And grieve not the holy spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

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.

⁸ Ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

²³ For the husband is the wife's head, even as Christ is the head of the congregation, and the same is the saviour of the body.

²³ For the husband is the wife's head, even as Christ is the head of the congregation, and the same is the saviour of the body. 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, ²⁶ to sanctify it, and cleansed it in the fountain of water through the word, ²⁷ to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame.

²⁷ to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame. 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. ³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall continue with his wife, and two shall be made one flesh." ³² This is a great secret, but I speak between Christ and the congregation.

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness for heavenly things.

²¹ But that ye may also know that condition I am in, and what I do, Tychicus my dear brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall show you of all things,

³ I thank my God with all remembrance of you, ⁴ always in all my prayers for you all, and pray with gladness,

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

⁹ Wherefore God hath exalted him, and given him a name above all names:

⁹ Wherefore God hath exalted him, and given him a name above all names: ¹⁰ That in the name of Jesus should every knee bow, both of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under earth;

¹⁰ That in the name of Jesus should every knee bow, both of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under earth; ¹¹ and that all tongues should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord unto the praise of God the father.

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

¹³ For it is God which worketh in you both the will and also the deed, even of good will.

¹⁵ that ye may be faultless, and pure, and the sons of God; without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and a perverse nation, among which see that ye shine as lights in the world,

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 ¹⁰ in knowing him, and the virtue of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his passions, that I might be conformable unto his death,

¹⁴ and press unto that mark appointed, to obtain the reward of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁹ My God fulfill all your needs through his glorious riches in Jesus Christ.

² To the saints which are at Colossae, and brethren that believe in Christ. Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ³ We give thanks to God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you in our prayers,

³ We give thanks to God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you in our prayers, ⁴ since we heard of your faith which ye have in Christ Jesus: and of the love which ye bear to all saints

⁴ since we heard of your faith which ye have in Christ Jesus: and of the love which ye bear to all saints 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,

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, ⁶ which is come unto you, even as it is into all the world, and is fruitful as it is among you, from the first day in the which ye heard of it, and had experience in the grace of God in the truth,

⁸ which also declared unto us your love, which ye have in the spirit. 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,

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. ¹³ Which hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear son, ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption through his blood, that is to say, forgiveness of sins, ¹⁵ which is the image of the invisible God, first begotten of all creatures: ¹⁶ for by him were all things created, things that are in heaven, and things that are in earth: things visible, and things invisible: whether they be majesty or lordship, either rule or power.

¹⁶ for by him were all things created, things that are in heaven, and things that are in earth: things visible, and things invisible: whether they be majesty or lordship, either rule or power.

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, that is, to wit, of the congregation: he is the beginning and first begotten of the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, that is, to wit, of the congregation: he is the beginning and first begotten of the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence. ¹⁹ For it pleased the father that in him should all fullness dwell, ²⁰ and by him to reconcile all things unto himself, and to set at peace by him through the blood of his cross both things in heaven and things in earth. ²¹ And you — which were in times past strangers and enemies, because your minds were set in evil works — hath he now reconciled ²² in the body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, unblameable, and without fault in his own sight,

²² in the body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, unblameable, and without fault in his own sight, ²³ if ye continue grounded and established in the faith, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, whereof ye have heard, how that it is preached among all creatures, which are under heaven, whereof I, Paul, am made a minister.

²³ if ye continue grounded and established in the faith, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, whereof ye have heard, how that it is preached among all creatures, which are under heaven, whereof I, Paul, am made a minister. ²⁴ Now joy I in my sufferings which I suffer, for you; and fulfill that which is behind of the passions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the congregation -

²⁶ that mystery, hid since the world began, and since the beginning of generations: But now is opened to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God would make known the glorious riches of this mystery among the gentiles, which riches is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

²⁷ to whom God would make known the glorious riches of this mystery among the gentiles, which riches is Christ in you, the hope of glory, ²⁸ whom we preach warning all men, and teaching all men in all wisdom, to make all men perfect in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ Wherein I also labour and strive, even as far forth as his working worketh in me mightily.

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:

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.

³ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

⁹ For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, ¹⁰ and ye are complete in him, which is the head of all rule and power.

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

¹⁵ and hath spoiled rule and power, and hath made a show of them openly, and hath triumphed over them in his own person.

¹⁹ and holdeth not the head: whereof all the body by joints and couples receiveth nourishment, and is knit together, and increaseth with the increasing that cometh of God.

¹ If ye be then risen again with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the righthand of God.

¹¹ Where is neither gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarous or Scythian, bond or free: But Christ is all in all things. ¹² Now therefore as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering,

¹⁵ and the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which peace ye are called in one body: and see that ye be thankful.

²⁴ forasmuch as ye know that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ.

² We give God thanks always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers 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:

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.

¹² that ye would walk worthy of God, which hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. ¹³ For this cause thank we God without ceasing, because that when ye received of us the word, wherewith God was preached, ye received it not as the word of man: but even as it was, indeed, the word of God; which worketh in you that believe.

¹² and the Lord increase you, and make you flow over in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you,

⁷ For God hath not called us unto uncleanness: but unto holiness.

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

⁸ But let us which are of the day be sober, armed with the breast plate of faith and love, and with hope of salvation as a helmet.

¹⁷ Pray continually.

³ We are bound to thank God always for you brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and every one of you swimmeth in love toward another between yourselves,

⁸ in flaming fire, rendering vengeance unto them that know not God, and to them that obey not unto the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁹ which shall be punished with everlasting damnation, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power, 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:

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:

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.

¹⁶ Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace,

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

¹⁴ Neverthelater, the grace of our Lord was more abundant, with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ Neverthelater, the grace of our Lord was more abundant, with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ This is a true saying, and by all means worthy to be received, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief: ¹⁶ for this cause was mercy given unto me, that Jesus Christ should first show on me all long patience, unto the example of them which shall, in time to come, believe on him unto eternal life.

⁶ which gave himself a ransom for all men, that it should be testified at his time;

¹⁵ But and if I tarry long, that then thou mayst yet have knowledge how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the congregation of the living God, the pillar and ground of truth. ¹⁶ And without nay, great is that mystery of godliness. God was showed in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, was seen of angels, was preached unto the gentiles, was believed on in earth and received up in glory.

¹² Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hand on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

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,

¹² for the which cause I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and am sure that he is able keep that which I have committed to his keeping against that day.

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.

¹⁵ Study to show thyself laudable unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, dividing the word of truth justly.

¹⁹ But the sure ground of God remaineth, and hath this seal: the Lord knoweth them that are his, and let every man that calleth on the name of Christ, depart from iniquity.

²⁵ and one that can suffer the evil in meekness, and can inform them that resist — if that God at any time will give them repentance for to know the truth -

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.

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,

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, ² which is after godliness upon the hope of eternal life; which life God, that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began:

⁴ To Titus, his natural son in the common faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ our saviour.

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation unto all men, hath appeared

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation unto all men, hath appeared ¹² and teacheth us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and that we should live sober minded, righteously, and godly in this present world, ¹³ looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the mighty God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ: ¹⁴ which gave himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness, and to purge us a peculiar people unto himself, fervently given unto good works.

⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our saviour; ⁷ that we, once justified by his grace, should be heirs of eternal life, through hope.

⁵ when I hear of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints:

² but in these last days he hath spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath made heir of all things: by whom also he made the world. 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, ⁴ and is more excellent than the angels, inasmuch as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than have they. ¶

³ how shall we escape if we despise so great salvation? Which at the first began to be preached of the Lord himself, and afterward was confirmed unto us ward, by them that heard it;

⁵ He hath not unto the angels put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak:

⁸ Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet." In that he put all things under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. ⁹ Nevertheless, we yet see not all things subdued unto him. But him that was made less than the angels, we see that it was Iesus: which is crowned with glory and honour for the suffering of death; that he, by the grace of God, should taste of death for all men. ¹⁰ For it became him — for whom are all things, and by whom are all things — after that he had brought many sons unto glory, that he should make the Lord of their salvation perfect through suffering. ¹¹ Forasmuch as he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause's sake he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, and in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee." ¹³ And again, "I will put my trust in him." And again, "Behold here am I and the children which God hath given me." ¹⁴ Forasmuch, then, as the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, for to put down through death him that had lordship over death: that is to say, the devil. ¹⁵ And that he might deliver them which, through fear of death, all their life time were in danger of bondage.

¹⁴ Seeing, then, that we have a great high priest which is entered into heaven — I mean Jesus the son of God — let us hold our profession.

⁴ For it is not possible that they which were once lighted, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were become partakers of the holy ghost,

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous that he should forget your work and labour that proceedeth of love, which love showed in his name, which have ministered unto the saints, and yet minister.

¹⁷ So God, willing very abundantly to show, unto the heirs of promise, the stableness of his counsel; he added an oath,

⁵ which priests serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things: even as the answer of God was given unto Moses when he was about to finish the tabernacle: "For take heed," said he, "that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount."

¹⁰ with meats only and drinks, and divers washings, and justifyings of the flesh, which were ordained until the time of reformation.

¹² neither by the blood of goats, and calves: but by his own blood, we entered once for all into the holy place, and found eternal redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of oxen, and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer, when it was sprinkled, purified the unclean, as touching the purifying of the flesh: ¹⁴ How much more shall the blood of Christ — which through the eternal spirit, offered himself without spot to God — purge your consciences from dead works, for to serve the living God? 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.

²² And almost all things are, by the law, purged with blood, and without shedding of blood, is no remission. ²³ It is then need that the similitudes of heavenly things, be purified with such things: but the heavenly things themselves are purified with better sacrifices than are those.

⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of oxen, and of goats should take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not have: but a body hast thou ordained me. ⁶ In sacrifices and sin offerings thou hast no lust. ⁷ Then I said, 'Lo I come.' In the chiefest of the book it is written of me, that I should do thy will, o God." ⁸ Above when he had said, "sacrifice, and offering, and burnt sacrifices, and sin offerings thou wouldest not have, neither hast allowed" — which yet are offered by the law - ⁹ And then he said, "Lo I am come to do thy will o God." He taketh away the first to establish the latter. ¹⁰ By the which will we are sanctified, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¹¹ And every priest is ready daily ministering, and often times offereth one manner of offering, which can never take away sins: ¹² but this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat him down for ever on the righthand of God,

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

¹⁷ and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." ¹⁸ And where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sin.

³² Call to remembrance the days that are passed in the which, after ye had received light, ye endured a great fight in adversities,

⁴⁰ God providing a better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

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?

²² But ye are come unto the mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the celestial Jerusalem: and to an innumerable sight of angels, ²³ and unto the congregation of the first born sons, which are written in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of just and perfect men: ²⁴ and to Jesus, the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood that speaketh better than the blood of Abel.

²⁰ The God of peace that brought again from death our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting testament,

¹⁸ Of his own will begat he us with the word of life, that we should be the first fruits of his creatures.

¹ Brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory in respect of persons.

⁵ Hearken, my dear beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world, which are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to them that love him?

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.

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

¹⁸ Forasmuch as ye know how that ye were not redeemed with corruptible gold and silver from your vain conversation, which ye received by the traditions of the fathers, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb undefiled, and without spot, ²⁰ which was ordained before the world was made: but was declared in the last times for your sakes. ²¹ Which, by his means, have believed on God that raised him from death, and glorified him, that your faith and hope might be in God. 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:

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, ¹⁰ which in time past were not a people, yet are now the people of God, which were not under mercy: but now have obtained mercy.

²⁴ which his own self bare our sins in his body on the tree, that we should be delivered from sin and should live in righteousness. By whose stripes ye were healed.

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.

¹⁸ Forasmuch as Christ hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, for to bring us to God, and was killed, as pertaining to the flesh: but was quickened in the spirit.

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

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.

¹⁰ The God of all grace — which called you unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus — shall his own self, after ye have suffered a little affliction, make you perfect: shall settle, strengthen, and establish you.

³ According as his godly power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him that hath called us by virtue and glory:

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. 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. ⁹ But he that lacketh these things is blind and gropeth for the way with his hand, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 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.

¹⁴ Wherefore, dearly beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and undefiled:

¹⁸ but grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord, and saviour Jesus Christ. To whom be glory both now and forever. Amen. {Here ends the Second General Epistle of Peter}

⁷ but and if we walk in light even as he is in light, then have we fellowship together, and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and truth is not in us. ⁹ If we knowledge our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

² And he it is that obtaineth grace for our sins; and not for our sins only, but also for the sins of all the world. ³ And hereby we are sure that we know him: if we keep his commandments. ⁴ He that saith, "I know him," and yet keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the verity is not in him.

¹² Babes, I write unto you how that your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

¹ Behold what love the father hath showed on us, that we should be called the sons of God. For this cause the world knoweth you not; because it knoweth not him.

¹ Behold what love the father hath showed on us, that we should be called the sons of God. For this cause the world knoweth you not; because it knoweth not him. 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. ³ And every man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himself, even as he is pure.

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?

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.

¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God in him.

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

²⁵ that is to say, to God our saviour which only is wise; be glory, majesty, dominion, and power, now and forever. Amen. {Here ends the General Epistle of Jude}

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet, even as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, "Fear not. I am the first and the last,

¹⁰ Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil shall cast of you into prison, to tempt you, and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

¹³ I know thy works and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is, and thou keepest my name and hast not denied my faith. And in my days Antipas was a faithful witness of mine, which was slain among you where Satan dwelleth.

⁹ And when those beasts gave glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the seat, which liveth forever and ever, ¹⁰ the twenty four elders fell down before him that sat on the throne, and worshipped him that liveth forever, and cast their crowns before the throne saying, ¹¹ "Thou art worthy, Lord, to receive glory, and honour, and power, for thou hast created all things, and for thy will's sake they are, and were created."

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,

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, ¹⁰ and hast made us unto our God, kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth." ¹¹ And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels about the throne, and about the beasts and the elders, and I heard thousand thousands, ¹² saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the lamb that was killed to receive power, and riches and wisdom, and strength, and honour and glory, and blessing."

¹² saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the lamb that was killed to receive power, and riches and wisdom, and strength, and honour and glory, and blessing." ¹³ And all creatures, which are in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that are in them heard I, saying, "Blessing, honour, glory, and power be unto him that sitteth upon the seat, and unto the lamb for evermore." ¹⁴ And the four beasts said, "Amen." And the twenty four elders fell upon their faces, and worshipped him that liveth for evermore.

² And I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, which had the seal of the living God, and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom power was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

⁴ And I heard the number of them which were sealed, and there were sealed a hundred and forty four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. ⁵ Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Ruben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. ⁶ Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. ⁷ Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. ⁸ Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. ⁹ After this I beheld, and lo a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and people, and tongues, stood before the seat, and before the lamb, clothed with long white garments, and palms in their hands, ¹⁰ and cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be ascribed to him that sitteth upon the seat of our God, and unto the lamb." ¹¹ And all the angels stood in the compass of the seat, and of the elders and of the four beasts, and fell before the seat on their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² saying, amen, "Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanks, and honour, and power and might, be unto our God, for evermore, amen."

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

⁸ and all that dwell upon the earth worshipped him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb, which was killed from the beginning of the world.

⁴ These are they, which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from men being the first fruits unto God and to the lamb,

⁸ The beast that thou seest, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and shall go into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder — whose names are not written in the book of life from he beginning of the world — when they behold the beast that was, and is not.

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."

⁴ And the twenty four elders and the four beasts fell down, and worshipped God that sat on the seat saying, "Amen, Hallelujah!" ⁵ And a voice came out of the seat, saying, "Praise our Lord God all ye that are his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great." ⁶ And I heard the voice of much people, even as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of strong thunderings, saying, "Hallelujah, for God omnipotent reigneth.

¹² His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew but himself. ¹³ And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the word of God.

¹⁰ and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more. ¹¹ And I saw a great white seat and him that sat on it, from whose face fled away both the earth and heaven, and their place was no more found. ¹² And I saw the dead, both great and small, stand before God: And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged of those things which were written in the books according to their deeds. ¹³ And the sea gave up her dead, which were in her, and death and hell delivered up the dead, which were in them: and they were judged every man according to his deeds. ¹⁴ And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is that second death. ¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.

⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
