Hebrews 12 Cross References - MSTC

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. ³ Consider therefore how that he endured such speaking against him of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your minds. ⁴ For ye have not yet resisted unto blood shedding, striving against sin. 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. ¹⁷ Ye know how that afterward when that he would have inherited the blessing, he was put by, and he found no means to come thereby again: no, though he desired it with tears. ¹⁸ For ye are not come unto the mount that can be touched, and unto burning fire, nor yet to mist and darkness and tempest of weather, ¹⁹ neither unto the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words: which voice they that heard it, wished away, that the communication should not be spoken to them. ²⁰ For they were not able to abide that which was spoken. If a beast had touched the mountain, it must have been stoned, or thrust through with a dart: ²¹ even so terrible was the sight which appeared. Moses said, "I fear and quake." 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. ²⁵ See that ye despise not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not which refused him that spake on earth; Much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth, and now declareth, saying "Yet once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also heaven." ²⁷ No doubt the same that he sayeth, "yet once more," signifieth the removing away of those things which are shaken, as of things which have ended their course: that the things which are not shaken may remain. ²⁸ Wherefore if we receive a kingdom which is not moved, we have grace, whereby we may serve God and please him with reverence and godly fear. ²⁹ For our God is a consuming fire.

Moreover, the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled at that time in the land. ⁸ Then said Abram unto Lot, "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between thee and me, and between my herdsmen and thine, for we be brethren. ⁹ Is not all the whole land before thee? Depart, I pray thee, from me. If thou wilt take the lefthand, I will take the right: or if thou take the righthand I will take the left."

²⁵ That be far from thee, that thou shouldest do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous should be as the wicked: that be far from thee. Should not the Judge of all the world do according to right?"

³¹ And Jacob said, "Sell me this day thy birthright." ³² And Esau answered, "Lo, I am at the point to die, and what profit shall this birthright do me?" ³³ And Jacob said, "Swear to me then this day."

He answered, "I am thy eldest son Esau." ³³ And Isaac was greatly astonished out of measure, and said, "Where is he then that hath hunted venison and brought it me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him, and he shall be blessed still." ³⁴ When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out greatly and bitterly above measure, and said unto his father, "Bless me also, my father!" ³⁵ And he said, "Thy brother came with subtlety, and hath taken away thy blessing." ³⁶ Then said he, "He may well be called Jacob, for he hath undermined me now two times — first he took away my birthright; and see, now hath he taken away my blessing also." And he said, "Hast thou kept never a blessing for me?"

³⁶ Then said he, "He may well be called Jacob, for he hath undermined me now two times — first he took away my birthright; and see, now hath he taken away my blessing also." And he said, "Hast thou kept never a blessing for me?" ³⁷ Isaac answered and said unto Esau, "Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his mother's children have I made his servants. Moreover, with corn and wine have I established him. What can I do unto thee now my son?" ³⁸ And Esau said unto his father, "Hast thou but that one blessing my father? Bless me also, my father!" So lifted up Esau his voice and wept. ³⁹ Then Isaac his father answered and said unto him, "Behold, thy dwelling place shall have of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above. ⁴⁰ And with thy sword shalt thou live and shalt be thy brother's servant; But the time will come, when thou shalt get the mastery, and loose his yoke from off thy neck." ⁴¹ And Esau hated Jacob, because of the blessing that his father blessed him withal, and said in his heart, "The days of my father's sorrow are at hand, for I will slay my brother Jacob."

²⁵ And Joshua said, "Inasmuch as thou hast troubled us: the LORD shall trouble thee this day." And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burnt them with fire, and overwhelmed them with stones. ²⁶ And they cast upon him a great heap of stones that remaineth unto this day.

¹² and said unto them, "Ye are the principal heads of the Levites — sanctify therefore yourselves and your brethren and bring the Ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it. ¹³ For because ye were not there at the first time, the LORD our God made a rent among us, for that we sought him not as the fashion ought to be."

² The hill of Zion is like a fair plant, whereof all the land rejoiceth: upon the north side lieth the city of the great King.

³ Our God shall come, and not keep silence: there shall go before him a consuming fire, and a mighty tempest shall be stirred up round about him.

⁵ "Gather my saints together unto me, those that set more by the covenant than by any offering." ⁶ And the heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God is judge himself. Selah.

¹⁷ The chariots of God are many thousand times a thousand, the LORD is among them, as in the holy place of Sinai.

¹⁹ Thou knowest my reproof, and my shame and my dishonor: mine adversaries are all in thy sight. ²⁰ Thy rebuke breaketh my heart, and maketh me heavy. I look for some to have pity upon me, but there is no man; and for some to comfort me, but I find none.

²⁸ Let them be wiped out of the book of the living, and not be written among the righteous.

¹ {A Psalm of Asaph} Truly God is loving unto Israel, even unto such as are of a clean heart.

¹⁴ Wherefore should I be then punished daily, and be chastened every morning?" ¹⁵ Yea, I had almost also said even as they do; but lo, then should I have condemned the generation of thy children.

² My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.

³ Very excellent things are spoken of thee, thou city of God. Selah.

⁷ God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

²⁷ And I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

³⁰ But if his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments, ³¹ if they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments, ³² I will visit their offenses with the rod, and their sins with scourges.

³² I will visit their offenses with the rod, and their sins with scourges. ³³ Nevertheless, my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my truth to fail. ³⁴ My covenant will I not break, nor disannull the thing that is gone out of my lips.

² Arise, thou judge of the world, and reward the proud after their deserving.

¹² Blessed is the man, whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him in thy law,

¹⁵ And why? Judgment shall be turned again unto righteousness, and all such as are true in heart shall follow it.

¹³ for he cometh to judge the earth: yea with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with his truth. {TYNDALE: For he cometh to judge the earth. Thank the LORD for he is good, and his mercy lasteth ever.}

³ There goeth a fire before him, to burn up his enemies on every side.

⁹ before the LORD; for he is come to judge the earth. With righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

²⁶ They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; they all shall wax old as doth a garment, and as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed. ²⁷ But thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD said unto my LORD, "Sit thou on my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

¹ {Praise the Everlasting} I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart: secretly among the faithful, and in the congregation.

⁶ Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? And ye little hills, like young sheep? ⁷ Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

¹⁸ The LORD hath chastened and corrected me; but he hath not given me over unto death.

¹⁶ My delight shall be in thy statutes, and I will not forget thy words.

⁷¹ It is good for me that I have been in trouble, that I may learn thy statutes.

⁷⁵ I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.

⁸³ For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do not I forget thy statutes.

¹⁰⁹ My soul is always in my hand, yet do I not forget thy law.

¹²⁰ My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

¹⁶⁵ Great is the peace that they have which love thy law, and they are not offended at it.

⁶ My soul hath long dwelt among them that be enemies unto peace.

¹³ For the LORD hath chosen Zion, to be a habitation for himself; he hath longed for her. ¹⁴ "This shall be my rest; here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein.

¹ {A song of the stairs} Behold, how good and joyful a thing it is, brethren, to dwell together in unity!

⁸ The LORD shall make good his loving-kindness toward me. Yea, thy mercy, O LORD, endureth forever; despise not then the works of thine own hands.

²⁴ Seeing then that I have called, and ye refused it: I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded it,

²⁴ Seeing then that I have called, and ye refused it: I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded it, ²⁵ but all my counsels have ye despised and set my corrections to naught. ²⁶ Therefore shall I also laugh in your destruction, and mock you, when the thing that ye fear cometh upon you: ²⁷ even when the thing that ye be afraid of, falleth in suddenly like a storm, and your misery like a tempest: yea, when trouble and heaviness cometh upon you. ²⁸ Then shall they call upon me, but I will not hear: they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me. ²⁹ And that because they hated knowledge, and received not the fear of the LORD, ³⁰ but abhorred my counsel, and despised my correction. ³¹ Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and be filled with their own counsels: ³² for the turning away of the unwise shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall be their own destruction.

¹ My son, forget not my law, but see that thine heart keep my commandments.

¹¹ My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD, neither faint when thou are rebuked of him. ¹² For whom the LORD loveth, him he chasteneth: and yet delighteth in him even as a father in his own son.

¹² For whom the LORD loveth, him he chasteneth: and yet delighteth in him even as a father in his own son.

⁵ Get thee wisdom, get thee understanding, forget not the words of my mouth, and shrink not from them.

²³ Keep thine heart with all diligence, for thereupon hangeth life.

²⁶ Ponder the path of thy feet: so shall all thy ways be sure. ²⁷ Turn not aside, neither to the righthand nor to the left; but withhold thy foot from evil.

³³ O give ear unto nurture, be wise, and refuse it not.

¹⁸ He that thinketh scorn to be reformed, cometh to poverty and shame; but whoso receiveth correction, shall come to honour.

²⁴ He that spareth the rod, hateth his son; but whoso loveth him, chastiseth him betimes.

¹ A soft answer putteth down displeasure, but froward words provoke anger.

¹⁰ He that forsaketh the right street, shall be sore punished; and whoso hateth correction, falleth into death.

³² He that refuseth to be reformed, despiseth his own soul; but he that submitteth himself to correction, is wise.

⁷ When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh his very enemies to be his friends.

¹⁴ He that soweth discord and strife, is like one that diggeth up a water brook; but an open enemy is like the water that breaketh out and runneth abroad.

¹⁸ Chasten thy son while there is hope; but let not thy soul be moved to slay him.

¹⁵ Foolishness sticketh in the heart of the lad; but the rod of correction driveth it away.

¹³ Withhold not correction from the child; for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die thereof. ¹⁴ Thou smitest him with the rod; but thou deliverest his soul from hell.

¹⁰ If thou be overseen and negligent in time of need, then is thy strength but small.

²⁴ Who so robbeth his father and mother, and sayeth it is no sin; the same is like unto a murderer.

¹⁵ The rod and correction minister wisdom; but if a child be not looked unto, he bringeth his mother to shame.

¹⁷ Nurture thy son with correction, and he shall comfort thee; yea, he shall do the good at thine heart.

¹⁷ Whoso laugheth his father to scorn, and setteth his mother's commandment at naught; the ravens pick out his eyes in the valley, and devoured be he of the young Eagles.

⁷ Or dust be turned again unto earth from whence it came, and or the spirit return unto God, which gave it.

¹⁹ Men shall creep into holes of stone, and into caves of the earth, for the fear of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty: what time as he shall arise to shake the earth.

⁴ What more could have been done for it, that I have not done? Wherefore than hath it given thorns, where I looked to have had grapes of it?

⁷ As for the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts, it is the house of Israel, and whole Judah his fair planting. Of these he looked for equity, but see there is wrong; for righteousness, lo, it is but misery.

³ They cried also each one to other on this manner: "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Hosts! The whole world is full of his glory!" ⁴ Yea, the joists and doorchecks moved at their crying, and the house was full of smoke. ⁵ Then I said, "O woe is me! For I am lost: inasmuch as I am a man of unclean lips, and dwell among people that hath unclean lips also. For mine eyes have seen the King and LORD of Hosts."

¹⁷ Thus I wait upon the LORD that hath turned his face from the house of Jacob, and I look unto him.

⁷ He shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same: to establish it with equity and righteousness, from thenceforth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.

⁶ Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb, and the Leopard shall lie down by the goat. Bullocks, Lions and cattle shall keep company together, so that a little child shall rule them. ⁷ The cow and the Bear shall feed together, and their young ones shall lie together. The Lion shall eat straw like the ox, or the cow. ⁸ The child while he sucketh, shall have a desire to the serpents nest, and when he is weaned, he shall put his hand in to the Cockatrice den. ⁹ No man shall do evil to another, no man shall destroy another, in all the hill of my Sanctuary. For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, even as though the water of the sea flowed over the earth.

⁶ Cry and shout thou inhabiter of Zion, for great among you is the holy of Israel.

¹³ Moreover, I will so shake the heaven, that the earth shall remove out of her place. Thus shall it go with Babylon in the wrath of the LORD of Hosts in the day of his fearful indignation.

³² Who shall then maintain the messages of the Gentiles? But the LORD establisheth Zion, and the poor of my people shall put their trust in him.

⁹ And therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be thus reconciled. And so shall he take away all the fruit of his sins. As for altar stones, he shall make them all as stones beaten to powder: the groves and Idols shall not stand.

¹⁶ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: "Behold, I will lay a stone in Zion, a great stone, a costly corner stone, for a sure foundation: that whoso putteth his trust in him, shall not be confounded.

¹ Woe be unto them that go down into Egypt for help, and trust in horses, and comfort themselves in chariots, because they be many, and in horsemen because they be lusty and strong. But they regard not the holy one of Israel, and they ask no question at the LORD.

¹⁷ And the reward of righteousness shall be peace; and her fruit, rest and quietness forever.

³ And therefore strengthen the weak hands, and comfort the feeble knees.

⁶ Then shall the lame man leap as a hart and the dumb man's tongue shall give thanks. In the wilderness also, there shall wells spring, and floods of water in the desert.

⁸ There shall be foot paths and common streets: this shall be called the holy way. No unclean person shall go through it, for the LORD himself shall go with them that way, and the ignorant shall not err. ⁹ There shall be no lion, and no ravishing beast shall come therein, nor be there, but men shall go there free and safe. ¹⁰ And the redeemed of the LORD shall convert, and come to Zion with thanksgiving. Everlasting joy shall they have, pleasure and gladness shall be among them. And as for all sorrow and heaviness, it shall vanish away.

¹⁶ O LORD, men may live beyond their years, and I will declare to all men that even in those years, it was thou that causedest me to sleep, and again thou hast given me life.

³ A voice crieth in the wilderness, "Prepare the way for the LORD, make straight the path for our God in the desert. ⁴ Let all valleys be exalted, and every mountain and hill be laid low. Whatso is crooked, let it be made straight, and let the rough places be made plain fields.

³⁰ Children are weary and faint, and the strongest men fall: ³¹ But unto them that have the LORD before their eyes, shall strength be increased, Eagles wings shall grow upon them; When they run, they shall not fall; and when they go, they shall not be weary."

⁵ For thus sayeth God the LORD unto him, even he that made the heavens, and spread them abroad, and set forth the earth with her increase: which giveth breath unto the people that is in it, and to them that dwell therein,

¹⁶ I will bring the blind into the street, that they know not: and lead them in to a foot path, that they are ignorant in. I shall make darkness light before them, and the thing that is crooked to be straight. These things will I do, and not forget them.

²² And therefore turn you unto me, all ye ends of the earth; so shall ye be saved, for I am God, and there is else none.

⁶ Hear and consider all these things, whether it was ye that prophesied them: But as for me, I told thee before at the beginning, new and secret things that thou knewest not of.

⁶ "Behold, I have made thee a light, that thou shouldest be salvation, even unto the end of the world. Kings shall see, and rulers shall stand up and shall worship, because of the LORD, which is faithful; and the holy of Israel hath chosen thee. ⁷ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD the avenger and holy one of Israel, because of the abhorring and despising among the Gentiles, concerning the servant of all them that bear rule: Kings and Princes shall see, and arise and worship, because of the LORD that he is faithful: and because of the holy one of Israel, which hath chosen thee.

⁴ The LORD God hath given me a well learned tongue, so that I can comfort them which are troubled; yea, and that in due season. He waked mine ear up betimes in the morning, as schoolmasters do; that I might hark.

⁶ But I offer my back unto the smiters, and my cheeks to the nippers. I turn not my face from shame and spitting, ⁷ for the LORD God helpeth me. Therefore shall I not be confounded. I have hardened my face like a flint stone, for I am sure, that I shall not come to confusion.

¹ Hearken unto me, ye that follow righteousness and seek the LORD. Look unto the rock ye were cut out, and to the cave and pit ye were digged out.

¹¹ That the redeemed of the LORD, which turned again, might come with joy unto Zion, there to endure forever? That mirth and gladness might be with them? That sorrow and woe might flee from them?

¹⁶ I shall put my word also in thy mouth, and defend thee with the turning of my hand: that thou mayest plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, "Thou art my people."

³ He was despised and cast out of men's company; and one that had suffered sorrow, and had experience of infirmity. And we were as one that had hid his face from him.

¹⁰ And yet the LORD determined to bruise him with infirmities. His soul giving herself for trangression, he shall see seed of long continuance; and the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. ¹¹ Because of the labour of his soul, he shall see and be satisfied. With his knowledge, he, being just, shall justify my servants: and that a great number. And he shall bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will give him his part in many, and the spoil of the rich he shall divide: because he gave his soul to death, and was numbered with the trespassers, and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for transgressors.

³ Incline your ears, and come unto me, take heed, and your soul shall live. For I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

⁷ Them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar. For my house shall be a house of prayer for all people.

¹⁶ For I chide not ever, and am not wroth without end. But the blasting goeth from me, though I make the breath.

¹² Then the places that have ever been waste, shall be builded of thee: there shalt thou lay a foundation for many kindreds. Thou shalt be called the maker-up of hedges, and the builder-again of the way of the Sabbath.

²⁰ But unto Zion there shall come a redeemer, and unto them in Jacob that turn from wickedness, sayeth the LORD.

⁸ But what are these that flee here like clouds, and as the doves flying to their windows?

¹⁴ Moreover, those shall come kneeling unto thee that have vexed thee: and all they that despised thee, shall fall down at thy foot. Thou shalt be called the city of the LORD, the holy Zion of Israel.

⁹ Be not too sore displeased, O LORD, and keep not our offenses too long in thy remembrance: but consider that we all are thy people.

¹⁵ For behold, the LORD shall come with fire, and his chariot shall be like a whirlwind, that he may recompense his vengeance in his wrath, and his indignation with the flame of fire.

²¹ and among all green trees. Whereas I planted thee out of noble grapes and good roots. How art thou turned then into a bitter, unfruitful, and strange grape?

³⁰ Therefore shall they be called reprobate silver, because the LORD hath cast them out."

¹⁰ But the LORD is a true God, a living God, and an everlasting king. If he be wroth, the earth shaketh: all the Gentiles may not abide his indignation.

²⁴ Therefore chasten thou us, O LORD; but with favour, and not in thy wrath. Bring us not utterly to naught.

¹⁰ They have turned themselves to the blasphemies of their forefathers, which had no lust to hear my word. Even likewise have these also followed strange gods, and worshiped them. The houses of Israel and Judah have broken my covenant, which I made with their fathers.

¹⁵ But my people hath so forgotten me, that they have made sacrifice unto vain gods. And while they followed their own ways they are come out of the high street, and gone into a foot way not used to be trodden.

⁸ Behold, I will bring them again from out of the north land, and gather them from the ends of the world, with the blind and lame that are among them, with the women that be great with child, and such as be also delivered: and the company of them that come again, shall be great. ⁹ They departed from hence in heaviness, but with joy will I bring them hither again. I will lead them by the rivers of water in a straight way, where they shall not stumble: For I will be Israel's father, and Ephraim shall be my firstborn.

⁹ They departed from hence in heaviness, but with joy will I bring them hither again. I will lead them by the rivers of water in a straight way, where they shall not stumble: For I will be Israel's father, and Ephraim shall be my firstborn.

¹⁸ Moreover, I heard Ephraim, that was led away captive, complain on this manner, 'O LORD, thou hast corrected me, and thy chastening have I received, as an untamed calf. Convert thou me, and I shall be converted, for thou art my LORD God.

³¹ Behold, the days come, sayeth the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: ³² not after the covenant that I made with their fathers, when I took them by the hand, and led them out of the land of Egypt: which covenant they brake, wherefore I punished them sore, sayeth the LORD: ³³ But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, sayeth the LORD: I will plant my law in the inward parts of them, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

⁶ but she hath despised my judgments more than the Gentiles themselves, and broken my commandments more than the nations that lie round about her. For they have cast out mine ordinances, and not walked in my laws.

¹⁷ All hands shall be let down, and all knees shall be weak as the water;

⁷ And if they say, 'Wherefore mournest thou?' Then tell them, 'For the tidings that cometh, at the which all hearts shall melt, all hands shall be letten down, all stomachs shall faint, and all knees shall wax feeble.' Behold, it cometh, and shall be fulfilled, sayeth the LORD God.'"

²⁷ Punish, punish, yea, punish them will I, and destroy them. And that shall not be fulfilled till he come, to whom the judgment belongeth, and to whom I have given it.

⁷ In thee have they despised father and mother, in thee have they oppressed the stranger, in thee have they vexed the widow and the fatherless.

²⁵ And I will pour pure water upon you, and ye shall be cleansed from all uncleanness, and from all your idols. I will cleanse you. ²⁶ And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you. And will take away that stony heart out of your flesh, and give you a fleshly heart. ²⁷ And I will put my spirit in you, and will make that ye shall walk in mine ordinances and keep my laws and do them.

⁹ Thou shalt come up like a stormy weather to cover the land, and as it were a dark cloud: thou with all thine hosts, and a great multitude of people with thee.

¹⁶ Yea, thou shalt come upon my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. This shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring thee up into my land, that the Heathen may know me, when I get me honour upon thee; O Gog, before their eyes.

⁴⁴ In the days of these kings, shall the God of heaven set up an everlasting kingdom, which shall not perish, and his kingdom shall not be given over to another people. Yea, the same shall break and destroy all these kingdoms, but it shall endure forever.

⁶ Then changed the king his countenance, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his body shook, and his knees smote one against another.

²⁶ My commandment is, in all my dominion and kingdom, that men fear and stand in awe of Daniel's God. For he is the living God, which abideth ever: his kingdom shall not fail and his power is everlasting.

⁹ "I looked till the seats were prepared, and till the Ancient of Days sat him down. His clothing was white as snow, and the hairs of his head like the pure wool. His throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as the burning fire. ¹⁰ There drew forth a fiery stream, and went out from him. A thousand times a thousand served him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set, and the books opened.

¹⁴ Then gave he him power and dignity regal, that all people, tribes and tongues should serve him. His power is an everlasting power, which shall never be put down: and his kingdom endureth uncorrupt.

²⁷ As for the kingdom, power, and all might that is under the heaven: it shall be given to the holy people of the most highest, whose kingdom is everlasting. Yea, all powers shall serve and obey him.'

⁸ I was left there myself alone, and saw this great vision, so long till there remained no more strength within me: Yea I lost my colour clean, I wasted away, and my strength was gone.

¹⁷ How may my lord's servant then talk with my lord? Seeing there is no strength in me, so that I cannot take my breath?"

¹⁰ And though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, which can neither be measured nor told: yet in the place where it is said unto them, 'Ye be not my people': even there shall it be thus reported of them, 'They be the children of the living God.'

³² And the time shall come: that whosoever calleth upon the name of the LORD, shall be saved. For upon the mount Zion and at Jerusalem, there shall be a salvation, like as the LORD hath promised. Yea, and among the other remnant, whom the LORD shall call.

¹⁶ The LORD shall roar out of Zion, a cry out of Jerusalem; that the heavens and the earth shall quake withal. But the LORD shall be a defense to his own people, and a refuge for the children of Israel.

⁷ Nevertheless, I will look up unto the LORD; I will patiently abide God my saviour: my God shall hear me.

¹⁰ Thus must she be spoiled, emptied and clean stripped out: that their hearts may be melted away, their knees tremble, all their loins be weak, and their faces black as a pot.

¹⁰ The mountains saw thee, and they tembled, the water stream went away: the deep made a noise at the lifting up of thine hand.

⁶ For thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: yet once more will I shake heaven and earth, the sea, and the dry land: ⁷ Yea, I will move all Heathen, and the comfort of all Heathen shall come, and so will I fill this house with honour, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

²² and overthrow the seat of the kingdoms, yea and destroy the mighty kingdom of the Heathen. I will overthrow the chariots, and those that sit upon then, so that both horse and man shall fall down, every man through his neighbour's sword.

¹¹ Nevertheless, they would not take heed, but turned their backs and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

¹ The heavy burden which the LORD hath devised for Israel. Thus sayeth the LORD, which spread the heavens abroad, laid the foundation of the earth, and giveth man the breath of life,

¹⁰ Moreover, upon the house of David and upon the citizens of Jerusalem, will I pour out the spirit of grace and prayer, so that they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall beweep him, as men mourn for their only begotten son: Yea, and be sorry for him, as men are sorry for their first child

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?'

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. ⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

³⁵ nor yet by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of that great King:

¹⁶ Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns? Or figs of thistles? ¹⁷ Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit: nor yet a bad tree can bring forth good fruit.

²³ And then will I knowledge unto them, that I never knew them: 'Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.'

⁴ And Jesus said unto him, "See thou tell no man; but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, to be offered in witness to them."

²² and ye shall be hated of all men, for my name: but he that shall endureth unto the end, shall be saved.

²⁴ The disciple is not above his Master, nor yet the servant above his Lord. ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple to be as his Master is, and that the servant be as his Lord is. If they have called the Lord of the house Beelzebub: how much more shall they call them of his household so?

³⁷ He that loveth his father or mother more than me, is not meet for me: and he that loveth his son or daughter more than me, is not meet for me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross and followeth me, is not meet for me.

¹⁹ The son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a glutton, and drinker of wine, and a friend unto publicans, and sinners. And neverthelater, wisdom is justified of her children."

²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard that, they said, "This fellow driveth the devils no other wise out, but by the help of Beelzebub the chief of the devils."

² "Why do thy disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? For they wash not their hands, when they eat bread."

⁹ Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember those five loaves, when there were five thousand men, and how many baskets took ye up? ¹⁰ Neither the seven loaves, when there were four thousand, and how many baskets took ye up?

¹⁶ Simon Peter answered, and said, "Thou art Christ, the son of the living God."

²¹ From that time forth, Jesus began to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the high priests, and of the scribes; and must be killed, and rise again the third day.

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."

¹⁸ "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, ¹⁹ and shall deliver him to the gentiles, to be mocked, to be scourged, and to be crucified: and the third day he shall rise again." ²⁰ Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of 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."

¹⁵ When the chief priests and scribes saw the marvels that he did; and the children crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David"; they disdained, ¹⁶ and said unto him, "Hearest thou what these say?" Jesus said unto them, "Yea, have ye never read, 'Of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast ordained praise?'"

²³ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this power?"

⁴⁶ And they went about to lay hands on him, but they feared the people, because they took him as a prophet.

¹⁵ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel, how they might tangle him in his words.

³⁵ that upon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed upon the earth: from the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah the son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar:

⁹ Then shall they put you to trouble, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake:

¹³ But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be safe.

³⁵ Heaven and earth shall perish: but my words shall abide.

¹¹ Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, 'Master, master open to us.' ¹² But he answered, and said, 'Verily I say unto you: I know you not.'

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. 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.

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

⁶⁷ Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him with their fists. And others smote him with the palm of their hands on the face, ⁶⁸ saying, "Tell us, thou Christ, who is he that smote thee?"

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the deputy took Jesus unto the common hall, and gathered unto him all the company. ²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a purple robe, ²⁹ and plaited a crown of thorns and put upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews," ³⁰ and spitted upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head. ³¹ And when they had mocked him, they took the robe off him again, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. ³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they compelled to bear his cross. ³³ And when they came unto the place, which is called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of dead men's skulls, ³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall. And when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. ³⁵ When they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lots. To fulfill that was spoken by the prophet, "They divided my garments among them: and upon my vesture did cast lots." ³⁶ And they sat and watched him there. ³⁷ And they set up over his head the cause of his death written, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews." ³⁸ And there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left hand. ³⁹ They that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, "Thou that destroyest the temple of God, and buildest it in three days: save thyself. If thou be the son of God, come down from the cross." ⁴¹ Likewise also the high priests, mocking him with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² "He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel: let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God: let God deliver him now if he will have him, for he said, 'I am the son of God.'" ⁴⁴ That same, also the thieves which were crucified with him cast in his teeth. ⁴⁵ From the sixth hour, was there darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. ⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli Eli lama sabacthani?" That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ⁴⁷ Some of them that stood there, when they heard that said, "This man calleth for Elijah." ⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. ⁴⁹ Others said, "Let be: let us see whether Elijah will come and deliver him." ⁵⁰ Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up the ghost.

²¹ For from within even out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts: adultery, fornication, murder,

¹² He answered and said unto them, "Elijah verily shall first come and restore all things. Also the son of man, as it is written, shall suffer many things, and shall be set at nought.

²⁴ And straightway the father of the child cried with tears, saying, "Lord I believe, help mine unbelief."

⁵⁰ Salt is good. But if the salt be unsavoury: what shall ye salt therewith? See that ye have salt in yourselves. And have peace among yourselves, one with another."

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

³⁶ And he said, "Abba father, all things are possible unto thee, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not that I will, but that thou wilt be done."

³³ And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom shall be none end."

⁷⁵ all the days of our life, in such holiness and righteousness that are accept before him.

³⁴ And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, "Behold, this child shall be the fall, and resurrection, of many in Israel: And a sign which shall be spoken against.

⁵ Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: And crooked things shall be made straight: and the rough ways shall be made smooth.

²⁸ And as many as were in the synagogue when they heard that, were filled with wrath ²⁹ and rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him even unto the edge of the hill, whereon their city was built, to cast him down headlong.

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?"

¹⁴ And that which fell among thorns, are they which hear, and go forth, and are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous living, and bring forth no fruit. ¹⁵ That in the good ground, are they which with a good and pure heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

⁵⁹ And he said unto another, "Follow me." And the same said, "Lord suffer me first to go and bury my father." ⁶⁰ Jesus said unto him, "Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God." ⁶¹ And another said, "I will follow thee Lord: But let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house." ⁶² Jesus said unto him, "No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh back, is apt to the kingdom of God."

²⁰ Nevertheless, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are under your power: But rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

¹⁵ But some of them said, "He casteth out devils by the power of Beelzebub, the chief of the devils." ¹⁶ And others tempted him seeking of him a sign from heaven.

⁵¹ from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple. Verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this nation.

⁵³ When he thus spake unto them, the lawyers and the Pharisees began to wax busy about him, and to stop his mouth with many questions; ⁵⁴ Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.

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."

¹³ And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. ¹⁴ And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto the people, "There are six days in the week, in which men ought to work, in them come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

²⁴ "Strive with yourselves to enter in at the strait gate: For many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. ²⁵ When the good man of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, ye shall begin to stand without, and to knock at the door saying, 'Lord, Lord, open unto us.' And he shall answer and say unto you, 'I know you not whence ye are.' ²⁶ Then shall ye begin to say, 'We have eaten, and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.' ²⁷ And he shall say, 'I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me all ye workers of iniquity.'

¹ And it chanced that he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread, on a Sabbath day: and they watched him.

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. ²⁷ And whosoever bear not his cross, and come after me cannot be my disciple. ²⁸ Which of you is he that is disposed to build a tower, and sitteth not down before and counteth the cost: Whether he have sufficient to perform it? ²⁹ Lest after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to perform it, all that behold it, begin to mock him, ³⁰ saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to make an end.' ³¹ Or what king goeth to make battle against another king, and sitteth not down first, and casteth in his mind, whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand, ³² or else while the other is yet a great way off, he will send ambassadors, and desire peace. ³³ So likewise, none of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, can be my disciple.

² And the Pharisees, and scribes murmured, saying, "He received to his company sinners, and eateth with them."

¹⁴ All these things heard the Pharisees also which were covetous. And they mocked him,

²⁸ For I have five brethren: for to warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'

⁵ And the apostles said unto the Lord, "Increase our faith."

²⁰ When he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, "The kingdom of God cometh not with waiting for. ²¹ Neither shall men say, 'Lo here, lo there.' For behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

²² When Jesus heard that, he said unto him, "Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that thou hast, and distribute it unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, and follow me." ²³ When he heard that, he was heavy, for he was very rich. ²⁴ When Jesus saw him mourn, he said, "With what difficulty shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God: ²⁵ Easier it is for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

³⁹ And some of the Pharisees of the company, said unto him, "Master, rebuke thy disciples." ⁴⁰ He answered, and said unto them, "I tell you, if these should hold their peace, the stones would cry."

³⁴ Take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be overcome with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this world: and that, that day come on you unawares.

²⁰ Likewise also, when they had supped, he took the cup saying, "This cup is the new testament, in my blood, which shall for you be shed.

³² But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not. And when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."

¹¹ And Herod, with his men of war, despised him, and mocked him; And arrayed him in white, and sent him again to Pilate.

³⁵ And the people stood and beheld. And the rulers mocked him with them, saying, "He helped other men, let him help himself if he be Christ, the chosen of God." ³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, and came and gave him vinegar, ³⁷ and said, "If thou be that King of the Jews, save thyself." ³⁸ And his superscription was written over him, in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew letters: "This is the King of the Jews." ³⁹ And one of the evildoers which hanged, railed on him, saying, "If thou be Christ, save thyself and us."

⁶ He is not here: but is risen. Remember how he spake unto you, when he was yet with you in Galilee,

⁸ And they remembered his words,

²⁶ Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?"

²⁹ The next day, John saw Jesus coming unto him, and said, "Behold, the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

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

³² And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiveth his testimony.

³⁹ Many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, for the woman's saying: which testified, "He told me all things that ever I did."

⁴⁴ And Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath none honour in his own country.

¹⁶ And therefore the Jews did persecute Jesus, and sought the means to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.

²⁷ And hath given him power also to judge in that he is the son of man.

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."

¹² And much murmuring was there of him among the people. Some said, "He is good." Others said, "Nay, but he deceiveth the people."

¹³ The Pharisees said unto him, "Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true."

⁴⁸ Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, "Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast the devil?" ⁴⁹ Jesus answered, "I have not the devil: but I honour my father, and ye have dishonored me.

⁵² Then said the Jews to him, "Now know we that thou hast the devil. Abraham is dead, and also the prophets, and yet thou sayest, 'If a man keep my saying he shall never taste of death.'

⁵⁶ Your father Abraham was glad to see my day, and he saw it and rejoiced."

⁵⁹ Then took they up stones, to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees which were with him, heard these words and said unto him, "Are we then blind?"

²⁰ and many of them said, "He hath the devil, and is mad: why hear ye him?"

³¹ Then the Jews again took up stones, to stone him withal. ³² Jesus answered them, "Many good works have I showed you from my father: for which of them will ye stone me?" ³³ The Jews answered him saying, "For thy good works' sake we stone thee not: but for thy blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God." ³⁴ Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I have say ye are gods?' ³⁵ If he called them gods unto whom the word of God was spoken — and the scripture cannot be broken - ³⁶ say ye then to him, whom the father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, 'Thou blasphemest, because I said I am the son of God?' ³⁷ If I do not the works of my father, believe me not. ³⁸ But if I do: though ye believe not me, yet believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the father is in me, and I in him." ³⁹ Again they went about to take him, but he escaped out of their hands,

⁹ Much people of the Jews had knowledge that he was there. And they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also whom he raised from death. ¹⁰ The high priests therefore held a council that they might put Lazarus to death also,

²⁴ Verily, verily I say unto you, except the wheat corn fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone. If it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

²⁷ "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say, 'Father deliver me from this hour?' But therefore came I unto this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name." Then came there a voice from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."

³² And I, if I were lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."

³ Jesus, knowing that the father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

³¹ When he was gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the son of man glorified. And God is glorified by him. ³² If God be glorified by him, God shall also glorify him in himself: and shall straightway glorify him.

¹⁸ "If the world hate you, ye know that he hated me before he hated you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love his own. Howbeit, because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore hateth you the world. ²⁰ Remember the saying, that I said unto you, 'The servant is not greater than the Lord.' If they have persecuted me, so will they persecute you. If they have kept my saying, so will they keep yours. ²¹ But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they have not known him that sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken unto them, they should not have had sin: but now have they nothing to cloak their sin withal. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth my father. ²⁴ If I had not done works among them which none other man did, they had not had sin. But now have they seen, and yet have hated both me and my father:

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. ⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

²² When he had thus spoken, one of the ministers which stood by, smote Jesus on the face saying, "Answerest thou the high priest so?"

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

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 -

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."

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.

⁴¹ And they departed from the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his name.

³⁵ This Moses whom they forsook, saying, 'Who made thee a ruler and a judge?' — the same God sent, both a ruler and a deliverer, by the hands of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

²² and strengthened the disciples souls: exhorting them to continue in the faith, affirming that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁰ but that we write unto them, that they abstain themselves from filthiness of images, from fornication, from strangled, and from blood.

²⁹ that is to say: that ye abstain from things offered to images, from blood, from strangled and fornication. From which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. So fare ye well."

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.

³⁰ Moreover, of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things, to draw disciples after them. ³¹ Therefore awake and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one of you, both night and day with tears.

³ that make mention of his son, the which was begotten unto him of the seed of David, as pertaining to the flesh:

⁷ that is to say: praise, honour, and immortality, to them which continue in good doing, and seek eternal life.

¹⁹ Yea and we know that whatsoever the law saith, he saith it to them which are under the law: That all mouths may be stopped, and all the world be subdued to God, ²⁰ because that by the deeds of the law, shall no flesh be justified in the sight of God. For by the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

³ Neither do we so, only: but also we rejoice in tribulation: For we know that tribulation bringeth patience, 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.

¹⁴ Let not sin have power over you. For ye are not under the law, but under grace.

²² But now are ye delivered from sin, and made the servants of God, and have your fruit that ye should be sanctified; and the end: everlasting life.

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."

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.

³ For I have wished myself to be cursed from Christ, for my brethren and my kinsmen as pertaining to the flesh:

⁵ whose also are the fathers, and they of whom; as concerning the flesh; Christ came: which is God over all things, blessed forever. Amen.

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."

²⁰ Thou sayest well: because of unbelief they are broken off, and thou standest steadfast in faith. Be not high minded, but fear:

²⁶ And so all Israel shall be saved. As it is written, "There shall come out of Zion he that doth deliver, and shall turn away the ungodliness of Jacob.

¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercifulness of God, that ye make your bodies a living sacrifice: holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable serving of God. 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.

¹² Rejoice in hope. Be patient in tribulation, continue in prayer.

¹⁸ If it be possible, howbeit of your part, have peace with all men.

¹¹ This also we know, I mean the season: how that it is time that we should now awake out of sleep. For now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 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.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace and joy, in the holy ghost.

¹⁹ Let us follow those things which make for peace: and things wherewith one may edify another.

⁷ so that ye are behind in no gift, and wait for the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ ⁸ which shall strengthen you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ I beseech you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all speak one thing and that there be no dissension among you: but be ye perfect in one mind, and one meaning.

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. ² And ye swell and have not rather sorrowed, that he which hath done this deed might be put from among you. ³ For I, verily, as absent in body, even so present in spirit, have determined already — as though I were present — of him that hath done this deed; ⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵ to deliver him unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ Your rejoicing is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven soureth the whole lump of dough?

⁶ Your rejoicing is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven soureth the whole lump of dough?

⁹ I wrote unto you in an epistle that ye should not company with fornicators. 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.

¹⁵ Either, remember ye not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I now take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid. ¹⁶ Do ye not understand that he which coupleth himself with a harlot, is become one body? "For two," saith he, "shall be one flesh." ¹⁷ but he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. ¹⁸ Flee fornication. All sins that a man doth, are without the body. But he that is a fornicator, sinneth against his own body. ¹⁹ Either, know ye not how that your bodies are the temple of the holy ghost, which is in you, whom he have of God, and how that ye are not your own? ²⁰ For ye are dearly bought. Therefore glorify ye God in your bodies and in your spirits, for they are God's.

³¹ And they that use this world, be as though they used it not: For the fashion of this world goeth away.

²⁴ Perceive ye not how that they which run in a course, run all, yet but one receiveth the reward? So run that ye may obtain. ²⁵ Every man that proveth masteries abstaineth from all things. And they do it to obtain a corruptible crown: but we to obtain an uncorruptible crown. ²⁶ I therefore so run, not as at an uncertain thing. So fight I, not as one that beateth the air: ²⁷ but I tame my body and bring it into subjection, lest after that I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

⁸ Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed fornication, and were destroyed — in one day, twenty three thousand.

¹² Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall. ¹³ There hath none other temptation taken you, such as followeth the nature of man. God is faithful, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above your strength: but shall in the midst of the temptation make a way to escape out.

³² But when we are judged of the Lord we are chastened, because we should not be damned with the world.

⁸ Though that prophesying fail, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge vanish away: yet love falleth never away.

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.

³³ Be not deceived: malicious speakings corrupt good manners.

⁴⁹ And as we have born the image of the earthy, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly.

⁵² and that in a moment, and in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shall rise incorruptible: And we shall be changed.

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."

⁵⁸ Therefore, my dear brethren, be ye steadfast and unmovable, always rich in the works of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know how that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

⁹ For if the ministering of condemnation be glorious: much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

¹ Therefore seeing that we have such an office, even as mercy is come on us, we faint not:

⁸ We are troubled on every side, yet are we not without shift. We are in poverty: but not utterly without somewhat. ⁹ We are persecuted: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: nevertheless we perish not.

¹⁶ Wherefore, we are not wearied: but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our exceeding tribulation, which is momentary and light, prepareth an exceeding and eternal weight of glory unto us,

⁸ Nevertheless we are of good comfort, and had rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

¹ We as helpers therefore exhort you, that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

¹⁷ Wherefore, "Come out from among them, and separate yourselves," saith the Lord, "and touch none unclean thing: so will I receive you,

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.

⁹ and he said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee. For my strength is made perfect through weakness." Very gladly therefore will I rejoice of my weakness, that the strength of Christ may dwell in me. ¹⁰ Therefore have I delectation in infirmities, in rebukes, in need, in persecutions, in anguish, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

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.

⁵ Prove yourselves whether ye are in the faith or not. Examine your own selves: know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be castaways?

¹³ and the other Jews dissembled likewise; Insomuch that Barnabas was brought into their simulation also.

¹⁹ But I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

¹⁰ For as many as are under the deeds of the law, are under malediction. For it is written, "Cursed is every man that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to fulfil them."

²¹ Is the law, then, against the promise of God? God forbid. Howbeit, if there had been a law given which could have given life: then no doubt righteousness should have come by the law.

²⁶ But Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is the mother of us all.

⁴ Ye are gone quite from Christ as many as are justified by the law, and are fallen from grace.

⁷ Ye did run well. Who was a let unto you, that ye should not obey the truth?

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, 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.

¹ Brethren, if any man be fallen by chance into any fault, ye which are spiritual, help to amend him, in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

⁹ Let us not be weary of well doing. For when the time is come we shall reap without weariness.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

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

¹⁶ And to reconcile both unto God in one body through his cross, and slew hatred thereby:

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, 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. ⁵ Let there be but one Lord, one faith, one baptism: ⁶ one God and father of all, which is above all, through all, and in you all. ⁷ Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. ⁸ Wherefore he saith, "He is gone up on high, and hath led captivity captive, and hath given gifts unto men."

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.

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:

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.

¹⁰ Accept that which is pleasing to 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, 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.

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.

⁶ and am surely certified of this, that he which began a good work in you shall go forth with it until the day of Jesus Christ,

²¹ For Christ is to me life, and death is to me advantage. ²² If it chance me to live in the flesh, that is to me fruitful for to work, and what to choose I know not. ²³ I am constrained of two things. I desire to be loosed, and to be with Christ, which thing is best of all:

⁸ He humbled himself and became obedient unto the death, even the death of the cross. 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; ¹¹ and that all tongues should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord unto the praise of God the father.

¹⁶ holding fast the word of life, unto my rejoicing in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither have laboured in vain.

¹⁰ in knowing him, and the virtue of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his passions, that I might be conformable unto his death, ¹¹ if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. ¹² Not as though I had already attained to it, either were already perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that, wherein I am comprehended of Christ Jesus.

¹² Not as though I had already attained to it, either were already perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that, wherein I am comprehended of Christ Jesus.

¹² Not as though I had already attained to it, either were already perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that, wherein I am comprehended of Christ Jesus. ¹³ Brethren, I count not myself that I have gotten it: but one thing I say: I forget that which is behind me, and stretch myself unto that which is before me;

¹³ Brethren, I count not myself that I have gotten it: but one thing I say: I forget that which is behind me, and stretch myself unto that which is before me; ¹⁴ and press unto that mark appointed, to obtain the reward of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ and press unto that mark appointed, to obtain the reward of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus wise minded: and if ye be otherwise minded, I pray God open even this unto you. ¹⁶ Nevertheless in that whereunto we are come, let us proceed by one rule, that we may be of one accord. ¹⁷ Brethren, be followers of me, and look on them which walk even so, as ye have us for an example. ¹⁸ For many walk - of whom I have told you often, and now tell you weeping - that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ, 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.

³ Yea, and I beseech thee faithful yokefellow, help the women which laboured with me in the gospel, and with Clement also, and with others, my labour fellows, whose names are in the book of life.

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.

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

²² in the body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, unblameable, and without fault in his own sight,

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 -

⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth; fornication, uncleanness, unnatural lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness which is worshipping of idols:

⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth; fornication, uncleanness, unnatural lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness which is worshipping of idols: ⁶ for which thing's sakes the wrath of God cometh on the children of unbelief. ⁷ In which things ye walked once, when ye lived in them. ⁸ But now put ye also away from you all things; wrath, fierceness, maliciousness, cursed speaking, filthy speaking out of your mouths.

⁹ for they themselves show of you what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from images for to serve the living and true God,

¹³ to make your hearts that they might be stable and unblamable in holiness before God our father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints.

³ For this is the will of God, even that ye should be holy, and that ye should abstain from fornication, ⁴ that every one of you should know how to keep his vessel in holiness and honour, 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. ⁷ For God hath not called us unto uncleanness: but unto holiness.

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

¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, and the voice of the archangel, and trump of God. And the dead in Christ shall arise first:

¹⁴ We desire you brethren warn them that are unruly, comfort the feeble minded, forbear the weak, have continual patience toward all men. 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.

⁵ which is a token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye are counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer. ⁶ It is verily a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you, ⁷ and to you which are troubled, rest with us; when the Lord Jesus shall show himself from heaven, with his mighty angels, 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,

¹³ Brethren, be not weary in well doing.

⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, which is the man Christ Jesus,

⁵ For if a man cannot rule his own house, how shall he care for the congregation of God?

⁷ But cast away unghostly and old wives' fables. Exercise thyself unto godliness. ⁸ For bodily exercise profiteth little: But godliness is good unto all things, as a thing which hath promises of the life that is now, and of the life to come.

⁹ They that will be rich, fall into temptation and snares, and into many foolish and noisome lusts, which drown men in perdition and destruction. ¹⁰ For covetousness is the root of all evil, which while some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled themselves with many sorrows. ¹¹ But thou, which art the man of God, flee such things. Follow righteousness, godliness, love, patience, and meekness.

⁷ For God hath not given to us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of soberness of mind.

⁴ No man that warreth entangleth himself with worldly business; and that, because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier.

⁷ Consider what I say. The Lord give thee understanding in all things. ⁸ Remember that Jesus Christ, being of the seed of David, rose again from death according to my gospel,

¹⁶ Unghostly and vain voices, pass over. For they shall increase unto greater ungodliness, ¹⁷ and their words shall fret even as doth a canker: of whose number is Hymenaeus and Philetus,

²² Lusts of youth avoid, and follow righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart.

⁴ and shall turn their ears from the truth, and shall be given unto fables:

⁶ For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departing is at hand. ⁷ I have fought a good fight, and have fulfilled my course, and have kept the faith.

⁷ I have fought a good fight, and have fulfilled my course, and have kept the faith. 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.

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.

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.

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,

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

¹ Wherefore we ought to give the more heed to the things which we have heard, lest we perish.

¹ Wherefore we ought to give the more heed to the things which we have heard, lest we perish. ² For if the word which was spoken by angels was steadfast — so that every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense to reward -

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

⁷ After thou hadst for a season made him lower than the angels: thou crownedst him with honour and glory, and hast set him above the works of thy hands. 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.

¹ Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the celestial callings, consider the Ambassador and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

⁶ But Christ, as a son, hath rule over the house, whose house we are, so that we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope, unto the end.

¹² Take heed, brethren, that there be in none of you an evil heart, in unbelief, that he should depart from the living God:

¹⁷ But with whom was he displeased forty years? Was he not displeased with them that sinned: whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?

¹ Let us fear, therefore, lest any of us forsaking the promise of entering into his rest, should seem to come behind.

¹¹ Let us study therefore to enter into that rest; lest any man fall, after the same example, into unbelief:

¹⁶ Let us therefore go boldly unto the seat of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

⁷ Which in the days of his flesh, did offer up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death: and was also heard, because of his godliness.

⁹ and was made perfect, and the cause of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him:

¹⁴ But strong meat belongeth to them that are perfect, which through custom have their wits exercised, to judge both good and evil also.

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, ⁵ and have tasted of the good word of God, and of the power of the world to come; 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.

⁸ but that ground, which beareth thorns and briars, is reproved, and is nigh unto cursing: whose end is to be burned.

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. ¹¹ Yea, and we desire that every one of you show the same diligence, to the establishing of hope, even unto the end:

¹¹ Yea, and we desire that every one of you show the same diligence, to the establishing of hope, even unto the end: ¹² that ye faint not, but follow them which through faith and patience inherit the promises.

¹⁵ And so after that he had tarried a long time, he enjoyed the promises.

¹⁹ For the law made no thing perfect: but was an introduction of a better hope, by which hope, we draw nigh unto God.

²² And for that cause was Jesus an establisher of a better testament.

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;

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." ⁶ Now hath he obtained a more excellent office, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better testament, which was made for better promises.

⁸ For in rebuking them he saith, "Behold the days will come, saith the Lord, and I will finish upon the house of Israel, and upon the house of Judah, a new testament;

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.

²¹ Moreover, he sprinkled the tabernacle with blood also, and all the ministering vessels.

²⁷ And as it is appointed unto men that they shall once die, and then cometh the judgment, 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.

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,

¹⁴ For with one offering hath he made perfect forever them that are sanctified.

¹⁹ Seeing, brethren, that by the means of the blood of Jesus, we may be bold to enter into that holy place,

²² let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full faith sprinkled in our hearts, from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water,

²² let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full faith sprinkled in our hearts, from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water, ²³ and let us keep the profession of our hope, without wavering — for he is faithful that promised -

²³ and let us keep the profession of our hope, without wavering — for he is faithful that promised - ²⁴ and let us consider one another to provoke unto love, and to good works: ²⁵ and let us not forsake the fellowship that we have among ourselves, as the manner of some is: but let us exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth nigh. ²⁶ For if we sin willingly after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins:

²⁶ For if we sin willingly after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins: ²⁷ but a fearful looking for judgment, and violent fire, which shall devour the adversaries.

²⁷ but a fearful looking for judgment, and violent fire, which shall devour the adversaries.

²⁷ but a fearful looking for judgment, and violent fire, which shall devour the adversaries. ²⁸ He that despiseth Moses' law, dieth without mercy under two or three witnesses.

²⁸ He that despiseth Moses' law, dieth without mercy under two or three witnesses. ²⁹ Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be counted worthy, which treadeth underfoot the son of God: and counteth the blood of the testament as an unholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doth dishonour to the spirit of grace.

²⁹ Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be counted worthy, which treadeth underfoot the son of God: and counteth the blood of the testament as an unholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doth dishonour to the spirit of grace. ³⁰ For we know him that hath said, "Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord." And again, "the Lord shall judge his people." ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. ³² Call to remembrance the days that are passed in the which, after ye had received light, ye endured a great fight in adversities,

³² Call to remembrance the days that are passed in the which, after ye had received light, ye endured a great fight in adversities, ³³ partly while all men wondered and gazed at you for the shame and tribulation that was done unto you, and partly while ye became companions of them which so passed their time.

³³ partly while all men wondered and gazed at you for the shame and tribulation that was done unto you, and partly while ye became companions of them which so passed their time.

³³ partly while all men wondered and gazed at you for the shame and tribulation that was done unto you, and partly while ye became companions of them which so passed their time. ³⁴ For ye suffered also with my bonds, and took in worth the spoiling of your goods, and that with gladness, knowing in yourselves how that ye had in heaven a better, and an enduring substance.

³⁴ For ye suffered also with my bonds, and took in worth the spoiling of your goods, and that with gladness, knowing in yourselves how that ye had in heaven a better, and an enduring substance. ³⁵ Cast not away, therefore, your confidence; which hath great reward to recompense.

³⁵ Cast not away, therefore, your confidence; which hath great reward to recompense. ³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. ³⁷ For yet a very little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry: ³⁸ But the just shall live by faith. And if he withdraw himself, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. ³⁹ We are not which withdraw ourselves unto damnation, but pertain to faith, to the winning of the soul.

² By it the elders were well reported of. ³ Through faith we understand that the world was ordained, by the word of God: and that things which are seen, were made of things which are not seen. ⁴ By faith, Abel offered unto God a more plenteous sacrifice than Cain: by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by which also he being dead, yet speaketh.

⁴ By faith, Abel offered unto God a more plenteous sacrifice than Cain: by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by which also he being dead, yet speaketh. ⁵ By faith was Enoch translated that he should not see death; neither was he found, for God had taken him away. Before he was taken away, he was reported of that he had pleased God. 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. ⁷ By faith Noah honoured God, after that he was warned of things which were not seen, and prepared the ark to the saving of his household, through the which ark he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which cometh by faith.

⁷ By faith Noah honoured God, after that he was warned of things which were not seen, and prepared the ark to the saving of his household, through the which ark he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which cometh by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out into a place which he should afterward receive to inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he should go. ⁹ By faith he removed into the land that was promised him, as into a strange country, and dwelt in tabernacles: and so did Isaac, and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he looked for a city having a foundation, whose builder and maker is God.

¹⁰ For he looked for a city having a foundation, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ Through faith Sarah also received strength to be with child, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful which had promised. ¹² And therefore sprang thereof one — and of one which was as good as dead — so many in multitude, as the stars of the sky, and as the sand of the sea shore which is innumerable. 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. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham offered up Isaac, when he was tempted, and he offered him being his only begotten son, which had received the promises: ¹⁸ Of whom it was said, "In Isaac shall thy seed be called." ¹⁹ For he considered that God was able to raise up again from death. Wherefore received he him, for an example of the resurrection. ²⁰ In faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, as concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and bowed himself toward the top of his scepter. ²² By faith Joseph, when he died, remembered the departing of the children of Israel, and gave commandment of his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his father and mother, because they saw he was a proper child: neither feared they the king's commandment. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was of a great age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ and chose rather to suffer adversity with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, ²⁶ and esteemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches, than the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect unto the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, and feared not the fierceness of the king. For he endured, even as he had seen him which is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he ordained the Easter lamb, and the effusion of blood, lest he that destroyed the first born should touch them.

²⁸ Through faith he ordained the Easter lamb, and the effusion of blood, lest he that destroyed the first born should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the reed sea as by dry land, which when the Egyptians had assayed to do, they were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about, seven days. ³¹ By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with unbelievers, when she had received the spies to lodging peaceably. ³² And what shall I more say? The time would be too short for me to tell of Gideon, of Barach, and of Samson, and of Jephthah. Also of David and Samuel, and of the prophets, ³³ which through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained the promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, of weak were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. ³⁵ And the women received their dead raised to life again. Others were racked, and would not be delivered, that they might receive a better resurrection. ³⁶ Others tasted of mockings, and scourgings, moreover of bonds and prisonment:

³⁶ Others tasted of mockings, and scourgings, moreover of bonds and prisonment: ³⁷ were stoned, were hewn asunder, were tempted, were slain with swords, walked up and down in sheep skins, in goat skins, in need, tribulation, and vexation, ³⁸ which the world was not worthy of: They wandered in wilderness, in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

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

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. ³ Consider therefore how that he endured such speaking against him of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your minds.

³ Consider therefore how that he endured such speaking against him of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your minds. ⁴ For ye have not yet resisted unto blood shedding, striving against sin. 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:

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."

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?

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.

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.

²⁷ No doubt the same that he sayeth, "yet once more," signifieth the removing away of those things which are shaken, as of things which have ended their course: that the things which are not shaken may remain.

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

¹³ Let us go forth therefore out of the tents, and suffer rebuke with him. ¹⁴ For here have we no continuing city: but we seek a one to come. 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.

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,

³ forasmuch as ye know how that the trying of your faith bringeth patience:

¹² Happy is the man that endureth in temptation, for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

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

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.

⁷ Submit yourselves to God, and resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

¹⁰ Cast down yourselves before the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

⁷ Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience there upon, until he receive the early and the latter rain. ⁸ Be ye also patient therefore, and settle your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. ⁹ Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be damned. Behold, the judge standeth before the door. ¹⁰ Take, my brethren, the prophets: for an example of suffering adversity, and of long patience, which spake in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have known what end the Lord made. For the Lord is very pitiful, and merciful.

¹¹ Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have known what end the Lord made. For the Lord is very pitiful, and merciful.

¹⁶ Knowledge your faults one to another: and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man availeth much, if it be fervent.

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.

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, ⁶ in the which time ye shall rejoice, though now for a season — if need require — ye are in heaviness, through manifold temptations,

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.

¹⁵ But as he which called you is holy, even so be ye holy in all manner of conversation, ¹⁶ because it is written, "Be ye holy, for I am holy." 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,

²⁰ For what praise is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently? But and if when ye do well, ye suffer wrong and take it patiently, then is there thanks with God.

²³ which when he was reviled, reviled not again: when he suffered, he threatened not: but committed the cause to him that judgeth righteously,

²³ which when he was reviled, reviled not again: when he suffered, he threatened not: but committed the cause to him that judgeth righteously, 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.

¹¹ Let him eschew evil and do good: let him seek peace, and ensue it.

¹³ Moreover, who is it that will harm you if ye follow that which is good?

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.

² that he henceforward should live as much time as remaineth in the flesh, not after the lusts of men: but after the will of God.

¹⁴ If ye be railed upon for the name of Christ; happy are ye. For the spirit of glory and the spirit of God resteth upon you. On their part he is evil spoken of: but on your part he is glorified. ¹⁵ See that none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or an evil doer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. ¹⁶ If any man suffer as a Christian man, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God on his behalf.

⁶ Submit yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you, when the time is come.

⁹ whom resist, steadfast in the faith, remembering that ye do but fulfill the same afflictions which are appointed to your brethren that are in the world. 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.

¹² By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, have I written briefly, exhorting and testifying how that this is the true grace of God, wherein ye stand.

⁴ by the means whereof are given unto us excellent and most great promises; that by the help of them ye should be partakers of the godly nature, in that ye flee the corruption of worldly lust.

⁶ and in knowledge, temperance; and in temperance, patience; in patience, godliness;

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.

¹ There were false prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you: which privily shall bring in damnable sects, even denying the Lord that hath bought them, and bring upon themselves swift damnation. ² And many shall follow their damnable ways, by which the way of truth shall be evil spoken of;

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.

¹⁰ Nevertheless, the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which day, the heavens shall perish with terrible noise, and the elements shall melt with heat, and the earth, with the works that are therein, shall burn. ¹¹ If all these things shall perish, what manner persons ought ye to be in holy conversation, and godliness:

¹¹ If all these things shall perish, what manner persons ought ye to be in holy conversation, and godliness:

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}

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 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye may have fellowship with us, and that our fellowship may be with the father, and his son Jesus Christ.

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.

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.

⁸ Look on yourselves, that we lose not that we have wrought: but that we may have a full reward.

¹¹ Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good: He that doeth well is of God: but he that doeth evil seeth not God.

¹⁴ Enoch the seventh from Adam prophesied before of such saying, "Behold, the Lord shall come with thousands of saints,

²⁰ But ye, dearly beloved, edify yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the holy ghost, ²¹ and keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life.

²¹ and keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life. ²² And have compassion on some, separating them: ²³ and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, and hate the filthy vesture of the flesh.

⁶ and made us kings and priests unto God his father, be glory, and dominion for evermore amen.

⁸ "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending," saith the Lord almighty, which is and which was and which is to come. ⁹ John, your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience which is in Jesus Christ, was in the isle of Patmos for the word of God, and for the witnessing of Jesus Christ.

¹¹ saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. That thou seest, write in a book and send it unto the congregations which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea."

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,

³ And didst wash thyself, and hast patience: and for my name's sake hast laboured and hast not fainted.

⁸ "And unto the angel of the congregation of Smyrna write, 'These things saith he that is first, and the last, which was dead and is alive:

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.

²⁰ Notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee, that thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which called herself a prophetess to teach and to deceive my servants, to make them commit fornication, and to eat meats offered up unto idols. ²¹ And I gave her space to repent of her fornication and she repented not. ²² Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit fornication with her into great adversity, except they turn from their deeds. ²³ And I will kill her children with death. And all the congregations shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts. And I will give unto everyone of you according to your works.

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the words of my patience, therefore I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which will come upon all the world, to tempt them that dwell upon the earth.

¹² Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out. And I will write upon him, the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God and I will write upon him my new name.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be fervent therefore and repent.

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."

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar, the souls of them that were killed for the word of God, and for the testimony which they had, ¹⁰ and they cried with a loud voice saying, "How long tarriest thou Lord holy and true, to judge and to avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?" ¹¹ And long white garments were given unto every one of them. And it was said unto them that they should rest for a little season until the number of their fellows, and brethren, and of them that should be killed as they were, were fulfilled.

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,

¹⁴ And I said unto him, "Lord, thou knowest." And he said unto me, "These are they which came out of great tribulation and made their garments large, and made them white in the blood of the lamb: ¹⁵ therefore are they in the presence of the seat of God and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sitteth in the seat will dwell among them. ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more neither thirst, neither shall the sun light on them, neither any heat. ¹⁷ For the lamb which is in the midst of the seat, shall feed them, and shall lead them unto fountains of living water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

¹⁵ And the seventh angel blew, and there were made great voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world are our Lord's and his Christ's, and he shall reign for evermore."

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death.

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.

¹⁰ He that leadeth into captivity, shall go into captivity: he that killeth with a sword, must be killed with a sword. Here is the patience, and the faith of the saints.

¹ And I looked, and, lo, a lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty four thousand having his father's name written in their foreheads.

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,

⁴ Who shall not fear, o Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy, and all gentiles shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest."

⁶ And I saw the wife drunken with the blood of saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great marvel.

²⁴ and in her was found the blood of the prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

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."

¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.

¹ And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth were vanished away, and there was no more sea. ² And I, John, saw that holy city, new Jerusalem, come down from God out of heaven prepared as a bride garnished for her husband.

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."

¹⁰ And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and a high mountain, and he showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

²⁴ And the people which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory unto it. ²⁵ And the gates of it are not shut by day. For there shall be no night there. ²⁶ And in to it shall they bring the glory and honour of the nations. 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.

³ And there shall be no more curse, but the seat of God and the lamb shall be in it: and his servants shall serve him. ⁴ And they shall see his face, and his name shall be in their foreheads.

⁹ And he said unto me, "See thou do it not, for I am thy fellow servant and the fellow servant of thy brethren the prophets and of them which keep the sayings of this book. But worship God."

¹¹ He that doth evil, let him do evil still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be more righteous: and he that is holy, let him be more holy." ¹² "And behold, I come shortly, and my reward with me, to give every man according as his deeds shall be. ¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." 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.

¹⁵ For without shall be dogs and enchanters, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth or maketh lies. ¹⁶ "I, Jesus, sent mine angel, to testify unto you these things in the congregations. I am the root and the generation of David, and the bright morning star."

¹⁹ And if any man shall minish of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from those things which are written in this book.
