⁴² And he commanded unto us to preach unto the people and testify, that it is he that is ordained of God, a judge of quick and dead.

⁴⁴ While Peter yet spake these words, the holy ghost fell on all them which heard the preaching.

³¹ because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world according to righteousness, by that man, whom he hath appointed, and hath offered faith to all men, after that he had raised him from death."

²⁴ But none of those things move me. Neither is my life dear unto myself; that I might fulfill my course with joy, and the ministration which I have received of the Lord Jesus to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

¹³ Then Paul answered, and said, "What do ye weeping, and breaking mine heart? I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

¹⁹ And he fainted not in the faith, nor yet considered his own body, which was now dead, even when he was almost a hundred years old: neither yet that Sara was past childbearing.

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.

³¹ What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us? ³² Which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: How shall he not with him give us all things also? ³³ Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's chosen? It is God that justifieth: ³⁴ who then shall condemn? It is Christ which is dead; Yea rather which is risen again, which is also on the righthand of God and maketh intercession for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of God? Shall tribulation? Or anguish? Or persecution, other hunger? Other nakedness? Other peril? Other sword? ³⁶ As it is written, "For thy sake are we killed all day long, and are counted as sheep appointed to be slain." ³⁷ Nevertheless, in all these things we overcome strongly through his help that loved us. ³⁸ Yea and I am sure that neither death, neither life, neither angels; nor rule, neither power, neither things present, neither things to come, ³⁹ neither height, neither lowth, neither any other creature shall be able to depart us from the love of God, showed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²⁰ But O man what art thou, which disputest with God? Shall the work say to the workman, "Why hast thou made me on this fashion?"

³² And wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith: but as it were, by the works of the law. For they have stumbled at the stumbling stone. ³³ As it is written, "Behold I put in Zion a stumbling stone, and a rock which shall make men fall. And none that believe on him, shall be ashamed."

⁹ For if thou shalt knowledge with thy mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and shalt believe with thine heart that God raised him up from death, thou shalt be safe.

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.

¹¹ Let not that business which ye have in hand be tedious to you. Be fervent in the spirit. Apply yourselves to the time.

¹⁷ Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide aforehand things honest in the sight of all men. ¹⁸ If it be possible, howbeit of your part, have peace with all men.

² Whosoever therefore resisteth power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, shall receive to themselves damnation.

⁹ Whether we live therefore or die, we are the Lord's. For Christ therefore died and rose again, and revived, that he might be Lord both of dead and quick. ¹⁰ But why doest thou then judge thy brother? Other why dost thou despise thy brother? We shall all be brought before the judgment seat of Christ.

¹³ Let us not, therefore, judge one another any more. But judge this, rather: that no man put a stumbling block, or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. ¹⁴ For I know, and am full certified in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing common of itself: but unto him that judgeth it to be common, to him it is common.

¹⁴ For I know, and am full certified in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing common of itself: but unto him that judgeth it to be common, to him it is common. ¹⁵ If thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

¹⁵ If thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

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

²⁰ Destroy not the work of God for a little meat's sake. All things are pure: but it is evil for that man, which eateth with hurt of his conscience. ²¹ It is good neither to eat flesh, neither to drink wine, neither anything, whereby thy brother stumbleth, either falleth, or is made weak. ²² Hast thou faith? Have it with thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. ²³ For he that maketh conscience, is damned if he eat: Because he doth it not of faith. For whatsoever is not of faith, that same is sin.

²³ For he that maketh conscience, is damned if he eat: Because he doth it not of faith. For whatsoever is not of faith, that same is sin.

¹ We which are strong ought to bear the frailness of them which are weak, and not to stand in our own conceits.

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

⁹ And let the gentiles praise God for his mercy. As it is written, "For this cause I will praise thee among the gentiles, and sing in thy name."

¹³ The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may be rich in hope through the power of the holy ghost.

¹⁷ I beseech you, brethren: mark them which cause division, and give occasions of evil contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. ¹⁸ For they that are such serve not the Lord Jesus Christ: but their own bellies. And with sweet preachings and flattering words deceive the hearts of the innocents:

²⁵ To him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel and preaching of Jesus Christ, in uttering of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began,

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

¹ And I could not speak unto you brethren as unto spiritual: but as unto carnal, even as it were unto babes in Christ. ² I gave you milk to drink and not meat. For ye then were not strong — no, neither yet are strong.

²² whether it be Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas: whether it be the world, or life, either death, whether they be present things or things to come: all are yours, ²³ and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

⁴ I know nought by myself: yet am I not thereby justified. It is the Lord that judgeth me. ⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God.

⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God.

²⁰ For the Kingdom of God is not in words, but in power.

⁹ Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. For neither fornicators, neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind,

¹² All things are lawful unto me: but all things are not profitable. I may do all things: but I will be brought under no man's power. ¹³ Meats are ordained for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Let not the body be applied unto fornication, but unto the Lord, and the Lord unto the body.

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.

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

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

¹ To speak of things dedicated unto idols, we are sure that we all have knowledge. Knowledge maketh a man swell: but love edifieth.

⁷ But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that there is an idol, until this hour, and eat as of a thing offered unto the idol, and so their consciences being yet weak are defiled.

⁷ But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that there is an idol, until this hour, and eat as of a thing offered unto the idol, and so their consciences being yet weak are defiled. ⁸ Meat maketh us not acceptable to God: Neither if we eat are we the better: Neither if we eat not are we the worse.

⁸ Meat maketh us not acceptable to God: Neither if we eat are we the better: Neither if we eat not are we the worse. ⁹ But take heed that your liberty cause not the weak to fall. ¹⁰ For if some man see thee, which hast knowledge, sit at meat in the idol's temple shall not the conscience of him which is weak be boldened to eat those things which are offered unto the idol?

¹⁰ For if some man see thee, which hast knowledge, sit at meat in the idol's temple shall not the conscience of him which is weak be boldened to eat those things which are offered unto the idol? ¹¹ And so through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish for whom Christ died.

¹¹ And so through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish for whom Christ died.

¹¹ And so through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish for whom Christ died. ¹² When ye sin so against the brethren and wound their weak consciences, ye sin against Christ.

¹² When ye sin so against the brethren and wound their weak consciences, ye sin against Christ. ¹³ Wherefore if meat hurt my brother, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, because I will not hurt my brother.

¹³ Wherefore if meat hurt my brother, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, because I will not hurt my brother.

²² To the weak became I as weak, to win the weak. In all thing I fashioned myself to all men, to save, at the leastway, some.

²⁵ Whatsoever is sold in the market, that eat, and ask no questions for conscience sake.

²⁹ Conscience I say, not thine: but the conscience of that other. For why should my liberty be judged of another man's conscience? ³⁰ For if I take my part with thanks: why am I evil spoken of for that thing wherefore I give thanks?

³⁰ For if I take my part with thanks: why am I evil spoken of for that thing wherefore I give thanks? ³¹ Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the praise of God.

³¹ Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the praise of God. ³² See that ye give none occasion of evil: neither to the Jews, nor yet to the gentiles, neither to the congregation of God.

³² See that ye give none occasion of evil: neither to the Jews, nor yet to the gentiles, neither to the congregation of God. ³³ Even as I please all men in all things not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they might be saved.

³³ Even as I please all men in all things not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they might be saved.

¹³ Judge in yourselves whether it be comely that a woman pray unto God bareheaded.

²⁹ For he that eateth or drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh his own damnation, because he maketh no difference of the Lord's body. ³⁰ For this cause many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. ³¹ If we had truly judged ourselves, we should not have been judged.

¹ Though I spake with the tongues of men and angels, and yet had no love, I were even as sounding brass: or as a tinkling cymbal.

⁴ Love suffereth long, and is courteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not forwardly, swelleth not, ⁵ dealeth not dishonestly, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh not evil,

¹² Even so ye — forasmuch as ye covet spiritual gifts — seek that ye may have plenty unto the edifying of the congregation. ¹³ Wherefore, let him that speaketh with tongues, pray: that he may interpret also. ¹⁴ If I pray with tongues, my spirit prayeth: but my mind is without fruit. ¹⁵ What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and will pray with the mind also. I will sing with the spirit, and will sing with the mind also. ¹⁶ For else when thou blessest with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say "amen" at thy giving of thanks? Seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? ¹⁷ Thou verily givest thanks well: but the other is not edified.

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

²³ and every man in his own order: The first is Christ, then they that are Christ's at his coming.

¹² Our rejoicing is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in singleness of heart and with godly pureness — and not in fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God — we have had our conversation in the world, and most of all to you-wards.

² but have cast from us the cloaks of unhonesty, and walk not in craftiness, neither corrupt we the word of God: but walk in open truth, and report ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every man may receive the works of his body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. ¹¹ Seeing, then, that we know how the Lord is to be feared, we fare fair with men. For we are known well enough unto God. I trust also that we are known in your consciences.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, if one be dead for all, that then are all dead: ¹⁵ and that he died for all, because that they which live, should not henceforth live unto themselves: but unto him which died for them and rose again.

²¹ for he hath made him to be sin for us, which knew no sin, that we by his means should be that righteousness which before God is allowed.

³ Let us give no man occasion of evil, that in our office be found no fault: ⁴ but in all things let us behave ourselves as the ministers of God. In much patience, in afflictions, in necessity, in anguish,

²⁰ For this we eschew, that any man should rebuke us in this plenteous distribution that is ministered by us, ²¹ and therefore make provision for honest things, not in the sight of God only, but also in the sight of men.

²¹ and therefore make provision for honest things, not in the sight of God only, but also in the sight of men.

¹⁹ Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves? We speak in Christ in the sight of God. But we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

¹¹ Finally, brethren, fare ye well: be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace, shall be with you.

¹² For yer that certain came from James, he ate with the gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision,

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

⁹ But now, seeing ye know God — yea rather are known of God — how is it that ye turn again unto the weak and beggarly ceremonies, whereunto again ye desire afresh to be in bondage? ¹⁰ Ye observe the days, and months, and times, and years.

¹⁰ Ye observe the days, and months, and times, and years.

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

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

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.

⁵ For every man shall bear his own burden.

¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus nether circumcision availeth any thing at all nor uncircumcision: but a new creature. ¹⁶ And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon Israel that pertaineth to God.

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him on his righthand in heavenly things, ²¹ above all rule, power, and might, and domination, and above all names that are named, not in this world only, but also in the world to come. ²² And hath put all things under his feet, and hath made him above all things, the head of the congregation: ²³ which is his body, and fullness of him, that filleth all in all things.

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

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.

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

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.

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,

¹⁰ that ye might accept things most excellent, that ye might be pure and such as should hurt no man's conscience, until the day of Christ;

²⁰ as I heartily look for and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed: but that with all confidence, as always in times past, even so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be through life, or else death.

²⁰ as I heartily look for and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed: but that with all confidence, as always in times past, even so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be through life, or else death. 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: ²⁴ Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

¹ If there be among you any consolation in Christ, if there be any comfortable love, if there be any fellowship of the spirit, if there be any compassion of mercy:

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

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.

¹⁷ Yea, and though I be offered up upon the offering and sacrifice of your faith: I rejoice and rejoice with you all.

²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and make much of such: ³⁰ because that for the work of Christ he went so far, that he was nigh unto death, and regarded not his life, to fulfill that service which was lacking on your part toward me.

³ For we are circumcision which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

⁹ and might be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law: But that which springeth of the faith which is in Christ. I mean, the righteousness which cometh of God through faith

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.

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

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

¹¹ strengthened with all might, through his glorious power, unto all patience, and long suffering, with joyfulness,

¹⁶ Let no man therefore trouble your consciences about meat and drink: or for a piece of a holy day, as the holy day of the new moon, or of the Sabbath day: ¹⁷ which are nothing but shadows of things to come. But the body is in Christ.

¹² Now therefore as elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering, ¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel to another; even as Christ forgave you, even so do ye. ¹⁴ Above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness, ¹⁵ and the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which peace ye are called in one body: and see that ye be thankful.

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

³ without ceasing, and call to remembrance your work in the faith, and labour in love and perseverance in the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God our father: ⁴ because we know brethren beloved of God, how that ye are elect.

⁶ And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord: and received the word in much affliction, with joy of the holy ghost:

¹² that ye would walk worthy of God, which hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again: even so them also which sleep by Jesus, will God bring again with him. ¹⁵ And this say we unto you in the word of the Lord, that we which live and are remaining in the coming of the Lord, shall not come before they which sleep. 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: ¹⁷ then shall we which live and remain, be caught up with them also in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Where-fore comfort yourselves one another with these words.

¹⁰ which died for us: that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. ¹¹ Wherefore, comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as ye do. ¹² We beseech you brethren, that ye know them which labour among you, and have the oversight of you in the Lord,

²² Abstain from all suspicious things.

⁴ neither give heed to fables and genealogies, which are endless, and breed doubts, more than Godly edifying which is by faith:

³ For that is good and accepted in the sight of god our saviour,

³ forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with giving thanks, of them which believe, and know the truth. ⁴ For all the creatures of God are good: and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

⁴ For all the creatures of God are good: and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: ⁵ For it is sanctified by the word of God, and prayer.

⁴ If any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to rule their own houses godly, and to recompense their elders. For that is good and acceptable before God.

¹⁴ I will therefore that the younger women marry and bear children, and guide the house, and give none occasion to the adversary to speak evil.

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

¹ I testify therefore before God, and before the Lord Jesus Christ, which shall judge quick and dead at his appearing in his kingdom:

¹⁵ Unto the pure, are all things pure: but unto them that are defiled, and unbelieving, is nothing pure: but even the very minds and consciences of them are defiled.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

⁹ Be not carried about with divers and strange learning. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace, and not with meats, which have not profited them that have had their pastime in them.

⁴ are ye not even partial in your selves, and have judged after evil thoughts?

¹⁸ Yea, and a man might say, "Thou hast faith, and I have deeds: Show me thy faith by thy deeds: and I will show thee my faith by my deeds." ¹⁹ Believest thou that there is one God? Thou doest well. The devils also believe and tremble. ²⁰ Wilt thou understand, o thou vain man, that faith without deeds is dead? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified through works when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Thou seest how that faith wrought within his deeds, and through the deeds was the faith made perfect. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was reputed unto him for righteousness," and he was called the friend of God. ²⁴ Ye see, then, how that of deeds a man is justified, and not of faith only. ²⁵ Likewise also, was not Rahab the harlot justified through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, even so faith without deeds is dead.

¹³ If any man be wise and endued with learning among you, let him show the works of his good conversation in meekness that is coupled with wisdom.

¹³ If any man be wise and endued with learning among you, let him show the works of his good conversation in meekness that is coupled with wisdom. ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, rejoice not: neither be liars against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom descendeth not from above: but is earthy, and natural, and devilish. ¹⁶ For where envying and strife is, there is unstableness, and all manner of evil works: ¹⁷ but the wisdom that is from above, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, and without simulation. ¹⁸ Yea, and the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace, of them that maintain peace.

¹¹ Backbite not one another, brethren. He that backbiteth his brother, and he that judgeth his brother, backbiteth the law, and judgeth the law: but and if thou judge the law, thou art not an observer of the law: but a judge.

¹¹ Backbite not one another, brethren. He that backbiteth his brother, and he that judgeth his brother, backbiteth the law, and judgeth the law: but and if thou judge the law, thou art not an observer of the law: but a judge. ¹² There is one law giver, which is able to save and to destroy. What art thou that judgest another man?

⁵ which are kept by the power of God through salvation, which salvation is prepared already to be showed in the last time,

⁸ whom ye have not seen and yet love him, in whom even now, though ye see him not, yet ye believe, and rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorious:

²¹ Which, by his means, have believed on God that raised him from death, and glorified him, that your faith and hope might be in God.

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.

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.

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

¹⁶ having a good conscience, that when they backbite you as evil doers, they may be ashamed, forasmuch as they have falsely accused your good conversation in Christ.

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.

⁵ which shall give accounts to him that is ready to judge quick and dead.

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

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 he it is that obtaineth grace for our sins; and not for our sins only, but also for the sins of all the world.

¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of offending in him.

¹⁹ for thereby we know that we be of the truth, and so shall we certify our hearts in his sight. ²⁰ But if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and knoweth all things. ²¹ Dearly beloved, if our hearts condemn us not, then have we trust to God ward;

²¹ Dearly beloved, if our hearts condemn us not, then have we trust to God ward;

¹⁵ Whosoever confesseth that Jesus is the son of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God.

⁷ For many deceivers are entered into the world, which confess not Jesus Christ as coming, or returning in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

¹⁰ If there come any unto you and bring not this learning, him receive not to house: neither bid him Godspeed.

⁸ We therefore ought to receive such, that we also might be helpers to the truth. ⁹ I wrote unto the congregation: but Diotrephes which loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not, ¹⁰ wherefore if I come I will declare his deeds which he doeth, jesting on us with malicious words, neither is therewith content. Not only he himself receiveth not the brethren: but also he forbiddeth them that would, and thrusteth them out of the congregation.

¹⁴ Enoch the seventh from Adam prophesied before of such saying, "Behold, the Lord shall come with thousands of saints, ¹⁵ to give judgment against all men, and to rebuke all that are ungodly among them, of all their ungodly deeds, which they have ungodly committed, and of all their cruel speakings, which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

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

¹⁸ and am alive, and was dead. And behold I am alive for evermore, and have the keys of hell and of death.

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:

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast, there, they that maintain the doctrine of Balaam, which taught in Balak to put occasion of sin before the children of Israel, that they should eat of meat dedicated unto idols, and to commit fornication.

¹⁴ And the four beasts said, "Amen." And the twenty four elders fell upon their faces, and worshipped him that liveth for evermore.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, "Write, 'Blessed are the dead, which hereafter die in the Lord: Even so, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; but their works shall follow them.'"

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