¹ There were at Antioch, in the congregation, certain prophets and teachers: as Barnabas and Symeon called Niger; And Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch's nurse-fellow, and Saul.

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

¹ Then came certain from Jewry and taught the brethren, "Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses ye cannot be saved." ² And when there was risen dissension and disputing not a little unto Paul and Barnabas, against them: they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should ascend to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. ³ And after they were brought on their way by the congregation, they passed over Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles, and they brought great joy unto all the brethren. ⁴ And when they were come to Jerusalem they were received of the congregation and of the apostles and elders. And they declared what things God had done by them. ⁵ Then arose there up certain of the sect of the Pharisees, which did believe: saying that it was needful to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

²⁴ Forasmuch as we have heard that certain which departed from us, have troubled you with words, and cumbered your minds saying ye must be circumcised and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment.

⁴¹ And he went through all Syria and Cilicia, establishing the congregations.

¹ Then came he to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there named Timothy, a woman's son which was a Jewess and believed: but his father was a Greek. ² Of whom reported well, the brethren of Lystra and of Iconium. ³ The same, Paul would that he should go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters, for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

⁵ And so were the congregations established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

⁵ But the Jews which believed not, having indignation, took unto them evil men which were vagabonds, and gathered a company, and set all the city on a roar, and made assault unto the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

¹⁴ and then, by and by, the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea. But Silas and Timothy abode there still.

² and found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy with his wife Priscilla: because that the Emperor Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome. And he drew unto them. ³ And because he was of the same craft he abode with them and wrought: their craft was to make tents. ⁴ And he preached in the synagogue every Sabbath day; And exhorted the Jews and the gentiles. ⁵ When Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the spirit, to testify to the Jews that Jesus was very Christ.

⁵ When Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the spirit, to testify to the Jews that Jesus was very Christ. ⁶ And when they said contrary, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment and said unto them, "Your blood upon your own heads. And from henceforth I go blameless unto the gentiles." ⁷ And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house named Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. ⁸ Howbeit, one Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians gave audience and believed, and were baptised. ⁹ Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, "Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: ¹⁰ for I am with thee, and no man shall invade thee that shall hurt thee. For I have much people in this city." ¹¹ And he continued there a year and six months, and taught them the word of God. ¹² When Gallio was ruler of the country of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

¹² When Gallio was ruler of the country of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat, ¹³ saying, "This fellow counceleth men to worship God contrary to the law." ¹⁴ And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrong, or an evil deed to ye, reason would that I should hear you: ¹⁵ but if it be a question of words, or of names, or of your law, look ye to it yourselves. For I will be no judge in such matters." ¹⁶ And he drave them from the seat. ¹⁷ Then took all the Greeks Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the Synagogue, and smote him before the judge's seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things. ¹⁸ Paul, after this, tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, Priscilla and Aquila accompanying him. And he shore his head in Cenchreae. For he had a vow.

²⁶ And the same began to speak boldly in the Synagogue. And when Priscilla and Aquila had heard him: they took him unto them; And expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. ²⁷ And when he was disposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him. After he was come thither he helped them much, which had believed through grace.

²² So sent he into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him: Timothy and Erastus: but he himself remained in Asia for a season.

²⁹ And all the city was on a roar, and they rushed into the common hall with one assent, and caught Gaius, and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions.

⁴ There accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Beroea: And of Thessalonica, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy: And out of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

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

³⁷ And they wept all abundantly, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him:

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

²² Nevertheless, I obtained help of God, and continue unto this day witnessing both to small and to great; saying none other things, than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: ²³ That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from death, and should show light unto the people, and to the gentiles."

² which he promised afore by his prophets, in the holy scriptures

⁵ by whom we have received grace and apostleship, to bring all manner heathen people unto obedience of the faith, that is in his name:

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

²⁰ So that his invisible things, that is to say, his eternal power and godhead, are understood and seen by the works from the creation of the world. So that they are without excuse,

¹⁶ at the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, by Jesus Christ according to my Gospel.

²¹ Now, verily, is the righteousness that cometh of God declared without the fulfilling of the law: having witness yet of the law, and of the prophets.

⁷ Yet scarce will any man die for a righteous man. Peradventure for a good man durst a man die.

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

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

³⁷ Nevertheless, in all these things we overcome strongly through his help that loved us.

¹⁶ For if one piece be holy, the whole heap is holy. And if the root be holy, the branches are holy also.

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

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and for him are all things. To him be glory forever Amen.

⁴ What art thou that judgest another man's servant? Whether he stand or fall, that pertaineth unto his master. Yea, he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand.

¹⁸ For whosoever in these things serveth Christ, pleaseth well God: and is commended of men.

⁴ Whatsoever things are written aforetime, are written for our learning: that we, through patience and comfort of the scripture, might have hope.

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

¹⁸ For I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the gentiles obedient, with word and deed,

²⁶ For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia, to make a certain distribution upon the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

³³ The God of peace be with all you Amen.

² that ye receive her in the Lord as it becometh saints, and that ye assist her, in whatsoever business she needeth of your aid. For she hath succored many, and mine own self also.

² that ye receive her in the Lord as it becometh saints, and that ye assist her, in whatsoever business she needeth of your aid. For she hath succored many, and mine own self also. ³ Greet Prisca and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus,

³ Greet Prisca and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus, ⁴ which have for my life laid down their own necks. Unto which not I only give thanks: but also the congregations of the gentiles. ⁵ Likewise, greet all the congregation that is in their house. Salute my well beloved Epaenetes, which is the firstfruit among them of Achaia. ⁶ Greet Mary, which bestowed much labour on us. ⁷ Salute Andronicus, and Junia, my cousins, which were prisoners with me also, which are well taken among the apostles, and were in Christ before me. ⁸ Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. ⁹ Salute Urbane our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

¹¹ Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus which are in the Lord. ¹² Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, which women did labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.

¹⁴ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Mercurius, and the brethren which are with them.

¹⁹ for your obedience extendeth to all men. I am glad no doubt of you. But yet I would have you wise unto that which is good. And to be innocent as concerning evil. ²⁰ The God of peace tread Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ²¹ Timothy my work fellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen salute you.

²³ Gaius mine host and the host of all the congregations, saluteth you. Erastus, the chamberlain of the city, saluteth you. And Quartus, a brother, saluteth you.

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. ¹¹ It is showed unto me, my brethren, of you by them that are of the house of Chloe; that there is strife among you. ¹² And this is it that I mean: how that commonly among you, one sayeth, "I hold of Paul"; Another, "I hold of Apollos"; the third, "I hold of Cephas"; and the fourth that, "I hold of Christ." ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Either were ye baptised in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptised none of you, but Crispus and Gaius,

²³ But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews, an occasion of falling; and unto the Greeks, foolishness.

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, brethren, when I came to you, came not in gloriousness of words or of wisdom, showing unto you the testimony of God. ² Neither showed I myself that I knew anything among you save Jesus Christ, even the same that was crucified.

⁷ but we speak the wisdom of God, which is in secret and lieth hid, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

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

¹ Let men this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God.

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.

¹⁷ But even as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every person, so let him walk: and so ordain I in all congregations.

¹⁸ First of all, when ye come together in the congregation, I hear that there is dissension among you: And I partly believe it. ¹⁹ For there must be sects among you, that they which among you are perfect might be known.

²⁰ Brethren, be not children in wit. Howbeit, as concerning maliciousness be children: but in wit be perfect.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace which is in me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

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.

¹ Of the gathering for the saints, as I have ordained in the congregations of Galatia, even so do ye. ² Upon some Sunday, let every one of you put aside at home, and lay up whatsoever he thinketh meet, that there be no gatherings when I come. ³ When I am come, whosoever ye shall allow by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. ⁴ And if it be meet that I go, they shall go with me.

¹⁵ Brethren, ye know the house of Stephanas, how that they are the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have appointed themselves to minister unto the saints: ¹⁶ I beseech you that ye be obedient unto such, and to all that help and labour.

¹⁹ The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, and so doeth the congregation that is in their house. ²⁰ All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with a holy kiss. ²¹ The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand:

²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy. Unto the congregation of God, which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

¹⁹ For God's son Jesus Christ which was preached among you by us — that is to say, by me and Silvanus and Timothy — was not "yea" and "nay": but in him it was "Yea."

⁹ For this cause verily did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye should be obedient in all things.

¹⁷ For we are not as many are, which chop and change with the word of God: but even out of pureness, and by the power of God and in the sight of God, so speak we in Christ.

¹ We begin to praise ourselves again. Need we, as some others, of epistles of recommendation unto you? Or letters of recommendation from you?

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. ³ If our Gospel be yet hid, it is hid among them that are lost,

⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus to be the Lord, and preach ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

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

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

²² We have sent with them a brother of ours, whom we have oft times proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent. The great confidence which I have in you

² for I know your readiness of mind, whereof I boast myself unto them of Macedonia, and say that Achaia was prepared a year ago, and your ferventness hath provoked many.

³ But I fear, lest as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, even so your wits should be corrupt from the singleness that is in Christ.

¹³ For these false apostles are deceitful workers, and fashion themselves like unto the apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no marvel, for Satan himself is changed into the fashion of an angel of light. ¹⁵ Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers fashion themselves as though they were the ministers of righteousness: whose end shall be according to their deeds.

²³ They are the ministers of Christ — I speak as a fool — I am more: In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prison more plenteously,

¹² Greet one another in a holy kiss.

¹⁴ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the holy ghost, be with you all. Amen. {The end of the Second Epistle unto the Corinthians, Sent from Philippi, a city in Macedonia, by Titus and Luke}

⁴ which gave himself for our sins, to deliver us from this present evil world, through the will of God our father, ⁵ to whom be praise for ever and ever Amen.

⁷ which is nothing else, but that there be some which trouble you, and intend to pervert the gospel of Christ. ⁸ Nevertheless, though we ourselves, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, hold him as accursed. ⁹ As I said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other thing unto you, than that ye have received, hold him accursed. ¹⁰ Preach I man's doctrine or God's? Other go I about to please men? If I studied to please men, I were not the servant of Christ.

²² and was unknown, as touching my person, unto the congregations of Jewry, which were in Christ.

² Yea, and I went up by revelation, and commended with them of the gospel, which I preach among the gentiles — but between ourselves with them which were counted chief, lest it should have been thought that I should run, or had run in vain.

⁴ and that because of incomers, being false brethren, which came in among others to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.

⁶ Of them which seemed to be great — what they were in time passed it maketh no matter to me: God looketh on no man's person — nevertheless they seemed great, added nothing to me:

⁸ For the scripture saw aforehand, that God would justify the heathen through faith, and therefore showed beforehand glad tidings unto Abraham: "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

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

¹¹ Behold how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

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

¹⁸ Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. {Unto the Galatians, Written from Rome}

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God. To the saints which are at Ephesus, and to them which believe on Jesus Christ.

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

⁷ By whom we have redemption through his blood, that is to say, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, ⁸ which grace he shed on us abundantly in all wisdom, and prudence. ⁹ And hath opened unto us the mystery of his will according to his pleasure, and purposed

¹⁵ Wherefore even I — after that I heard of the faith which ye have in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints - ¹⁶ cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, ¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the father of glory, might give unto you the spirit of wisdom, and open to you the knowledge of himself, ¹⁸ and lighten the eyes of your minds, that ye might know what thing that hope is, whereunto he hath called you, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is upon the saints,

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.

²⁰ and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets — Jesus Christ being the head cornerstone -

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

⁹ and to make all men see what the fellowship of the mystery is, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, which made all things through Jesus Christ, ¹⁰ to the intent that now, unto the rulers and powers in heaven, might be known by the congregation the manifold wisdom of God, ¹¹ according to that eternal purpose, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

²⁰ Unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, ²¹ be praise in the congregation by Jesus Christ, throughout all generations from time to time. Amen.

³ So that fornication, and all uncleanness or covetousness, be not once named among you, as it becometh saints:

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

¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to utter the secrets of the gospel,

¹ Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ. To all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may increase more and more in knowledge, and in all feeling,

²⁷ Only let your conversation be, as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may yet hear of you, that ye continue in one spirit, and in one soul laboring as we do to maintain the faith of the gospel,

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

¹⁹ I trust in the Lord Jesus for to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know what case ye stand in. ²⁰ For I have no man that is so like minded to me, which with so pure affection careth for your matters. ²¹ For all others seek their own, and not that which is Jesus Christ's.

²¹ For all others seek their own, and not that which is Jesus Christ's. ²² Ye know the proof of him, how that as a son with the father, so with me bestowed he his labour upon the gospel.

²² Ye know the proof of him, how that as a son with the father, so with me bestowed he his labour upon the gospel. ²³ Him I hope to send as soon as I know how it will go with me.

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.

² Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers. Beware of dissension: ³ For we are circumcision which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

¹⁷ Brethren, be followers of me, and look on them which walk even so, as ye have us for an example.

¹⁹ whose end is damnation, whose God is their belly and whose glory is to their shame, which are worldly minded.

¹ Therefore my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so continue in the Lord, ye beloved.

¹⁴ Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye bare part with me in my tribulation. ¹⁵ Ye of Philippi know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no congregation bare part with me as concerning giving and receiving but ye only. ¹⁶ For when I was in Thessalonica, ye sent once, and afterward again, unto my needs: ¹⁷ not that I desire gifts: but I desire abundant fruit on your part. 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. ¹⁹ My God fulfill all your needs through his glorious riches in Jesus Christ. ²⁰ Unto God and our father be praise forever more. Amen.

²³ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. {Sent from Rome by Epaphroditus.}

¹ Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy. ² To the saints which are at Colossae, and brethren that believe in Christ. Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ³ We give thanks to God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you in our prayers, ⁴ since we heard of your faith which ye have in Christ Jesus: and of the love which ye bear to all saints ⁵ for the hope's sake which is laid up in store for you in heaven, of which hope ye have heard before by the true word of the gospel, ⁶ which is come unto you, even as it is into all the world, and is fruitful as it is among you, from the first day in the which ye heard of it, and had experience in the grace of God in the truth, ⁷ as ye learned of Epaphras our dear fellow servant, which is for you a faithful minister of Christ, ⁸ which also declared unto us your love, which ye have in the spirit. ⁹ For this cause we also, since the day we heard of it have not ceased praying for you, and desiring that ye might be fulfilled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

²⁶ that mystery, hid since the world began, and since the beginning of generations: But now is opened to his saints,

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

²⁹ Wherein I also labour and strive, even as far forth as his working worketh in me mightily.

² that their hearts might be comforted and knit together in love, and in all riches of full understanding, for to know the mystery of God the father and of Christ: ³ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. ⁴ This I say lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

⁸ Beware lest any man come and spoil you through philosophy and deceitful vanity, through the traditions of men, and ordinances after the world, and not after Christ.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdom. Teach and exhort your own selves, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs which have favour with them, singing in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And all things, whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father by him.

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

¹⁰ Aristarchus my prison fellow saluteth you; And Mark, Barnabas' sister's son: touching whom, ye received commandments. If he come unto you receive him:

¹² Epaphras the servant of Christ, which is one of you, saluteth you, and always laboureth fervently for you in prayers that ye may stand perfect, and full in all that is the will of God.

¹⁵ Salute the brethren which are of Laodicea, and salute Nymphas, and the congregation which is in his house.

¹ Paul, Silvanus and Timothy. Unto the congregation of the Thessalonians, in God the father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with you, and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ² We give God thanks always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers ³ without ceasing, and call to remembrance your work in the faith, and labour in love and perseverance in the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God our father:

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:

⁸ For from you sounded out the word of the Lord, not in Macedonia and in Achaia only: but your faith also which ye have unto God, spread herself abroad in all quarters, so greatly that it needeth not us to speak anything at all: 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,

¹⁴ For ye brethren became followers of the congregations of God which in Jewry are in Christ Jesus: for ye have suffered like things of your kinsmen, as we ourselves have suffered of the Jews,

² and sent Timothy our brother and minister of God, and our labour fellow in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you over your faith,

⁶ But now lately when Timothy came from you unto us and declared to us your faith, and your love, and how that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, as we desire to see you.

⁶ But now lately when Timothy came from you unto us and declared to us your faith, and your love, and how that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, as we desire to see you. ⁷ Therefore, brethren, had we consolation in you, in all our adversity, and necessity through your faith. ⁸ For now are we alive if ye stand steadfast in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanks can we recompense to God again for you, over all the joy that we joy for your sakes before our God, ¹⁰ while we night and day pray exceedingly, that we might see you presently, and might fulfill that which is lacking in your faith.

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.

¹² We beseech you brethren, that ye know them which labour among you, and have the oversight of you in the Lord, ¹³ and give you exhortation, that ye have them the more in love: For their work's sake, and be at peace with them.

²⁶ Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

²⁸ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. {The end of the First Epistle unto the Thessalonians, Sent from Athens.}

¹ Paul, Silvanus and Timothy. Unto the congregation of the Thessalonians, which are in God our father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ and in all deceivableness of unrighteousness, among them that perish: because they received not the love of the truth, that they might have been saved.

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

¹⁶ Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace, ¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in all doctrine and good doing.

³ but the Lord is faithful, which shall establish you, and keep you from evil.

⁶ We require you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh inordinately, and not after the institution which ye received of us.

¹⁴ If any man obey not our sayings, send us word of him by a letter: and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed: ¹⁵ And count him not as an enemy: but warn him as a brother.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you all. Amen. {The end of the Second Epistle unto the Thessalonians, Sent from Athens.}

² Unto Timothy, his natural son in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God our father, and from Lord Jesus Christ, our Lord. ³ As I besought thee to abide still in Ephesus when I departed into Macedonia; even so, do: that thou command some that they teach no other wise,

¹⁷ So then unto God, King everlasting, immortal, invisible, and wise only, be honour and praise for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁰ but with such as becometh women that profess the worshipping of God through good works.

¹⁰ And let them first be proved, and then let them minister, if they be found faultless.

¹⁰ For therefore we labour and suffer rebuke, because we believe in the living God, which is the saviour of all men: but specially of those that believe.

² the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all pureness.

⁹ Let no widow be chosen under sixty years old, and such a one as was the wife of one man, ¹⁰ and well reported of in good works: if she have nourished children, if she have been liberal to strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have ministered unto them which were in adversity, if she were continually given unto all manner good works.

¹⁰ and well reported of in good works: if she have nourished children, if she have been liberal to strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have ministered unto them which were in adversity, if she were continually given unto all manner good works.

¹⁷ The elders that rule well are worthy of double honour, most specially they which labour in the word and in teaching. ¹⁸ For the scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn." And, "the laborer is worthy of his reward."

³ If any man teach otherwise, and is not content with the wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine of godliness, ⁴ he is puffed up and knoweth nothing: but wasteth his brains about questions, and strife of words, whereof spring envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings ⁵ and vain disputations of men with corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, which think that lucre is godliness. From such, separate thyself.

⁵ and vain disputations of men with corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, which think that lucre is godliness. From such, separate thyself.

¹¹ But thou, which art the man of God, flee such things. Follow righteousness, godliness, love, patience, and meekness.

²⁰ O Timothy, save that which is given thee to keep, and avoid unghostly vanities of voices, and oppositions of science falsely so called,

² To Timothy, his beloved son. Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the father, and from Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁹ which saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our deeds, but according to his own purpose and grace, which grace was given us through Christ Jesus before the world was, ¹⁰ but is now declared openly by the appearing of our saviour Jesus Christ, which hath put away death, and hath brought life and immortality unto light through the gospel,

¹⁸ The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy with the Lord at that day. And in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus thou knowest very well.

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, ¹⁸ which as concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and do destroy the faith of divers persons.

² For the men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to father and mother, unthankful, unholy, ³ unkind, trucebreakers, stubborn, false accusers, rioters, fierce, despisers of them which are good, ⁴ traitors, heady, high minded, greedy upon voluptuousness more than the lovers of God, ⁵ having a similitude of godly living, but have denied the power thereof. Such abhor.

⁵ having a similitude of godly living, but have denied the power thereof. Such abhor. ⁶ For of this sort are they which enter into houses, and bring into bondage women laden with sin, which women are led of divers lusts,

¹⁵ And forasmuch also as thou hast known holy scripture of a child, which is able to make thee wise unto salvation through the faith, which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ For all scripture given by inspiration of God, is profitable to teach, to improve, to amend, and to instruct in righteousness, ¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect, and prepared unto all good works.

¹⁸ And the Lord shall deliver me from all evil doing, and shall keep me unto his heavenly kingdom. To whom be praise for ever and ever. Amen. ¹⁹ Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. ²⁰ Erastus abode at Corinth. Trophimus I left at Miletus sick.

² which is after godliness upon the hope of eternal life; which life God, that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began: ³ but hath opened his word at the time appointed, through preaching; which preaching is committed unto me, by the commandment of God our saviour.

¹⁷ If thou count me a fellow, receive him as myself.

²³ There salute thee, Epaphras my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;

²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits, Amen. {Here ends the Epistle of Saint Paul the Apostle unto Philemon, Sent from Rome by Onesimus, a servant.}

¹⁴ Forasmuch, then, as the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, for to put down through death him that had lordship over death: that is to say, the devil. ¹⁵ And that he might deliver them which, through fear of death, all their life time were in danger of bondage.

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

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:

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.

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?

⁸ Jesus Christ yesterday, and today, and the same, continueth forever.

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

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

²³ Know the brother Timothy, whom we have sent from us, with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

¹ James, the servant of God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sendeth greeting to the twelve tribes which are scattered here and there.

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

¹⁵ If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of daily food,

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.

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.

⁷ that your faith, once tried, being much more precious than gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto laud, glory, and honour, at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

¹⁰ Of which salvation have the prophets enquired, and searched, which prophesied of the grace that should come unto you; ¹¹ searching when, or at what time, the spirit of Christ which was in them should signify — which spirit testified before — the passions that should come unto Christ, and the glory that should follow after. ¹² Unto which prophets it was declared, that not unto themselves, but unto us, they should minister the things which are now showed unto you, of them which, by the holy ghost sent down from heaven, have preached unto you the things which the angels desire to behold.

²⁰ which was ordained before the world was made: but was declared in the last times for your sakes.

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: ²³ for ye are born anew, not of mortal seed, but of immortal seed, by the word of God which liveth, and lasteth forever.

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.

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.

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. ¹¹ To him be glory and dominion for ever, and while the world endureth. Amen.

¹⁴ Greet ye one another with the kiss of love. Peace be with you all which are in Christ Jesus. Amen. {Here ends the First General Epistle of Peter}

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; ³ and through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you, whose judgment is not far off, and their damnation sleepeth not.

¹⁰ namely, them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise the rulers. Presumptuous are they, and stubborn, and fear not to speak evil of them that are in authority; ¹¹ when the angels, which are greater both in power and might, receive not of the Lord railing judgment against them. ¹² But these, as brute beasts, naturally made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of that they know not, and shall perish through their own destruction, ¹³ and receive the reward of unrighteousness. They count it pleasure to live deliciously for a season. Spots they are, and filthiness, living at pleasure, and in deceitful ways feasting with you: 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, ¹⁵ and have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, which loved the reward of unrighteousness:

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. ¹⁹ They promise them liberty, and are themselves the bondservants of corruption. For of whomsoever a man is overcome, unto the same is he in bondage. ²⁰ For if they, after they have escaped from the filthiness of the world through the knowledge of the Lord, and of the saviour Jesus Christ, they are yet tangled again therein and overcome: then is the latter end worse with them than the beginning.

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}

¹⁹ They went out of us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us. But that fortuned, that it might appear that they were not of us.

⁸ He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth since the beginning. But for this cause appeared the son of God, even to destroy the works of the devil.

¹⁴ We know that we are translated from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death.

¹⁶ Hereby are we assured of love: because he left his life for us: And therefore we ought also to give our lives for our brethren.

¹ Ye beloved, believe not every spirit: but prove the spirits whether they be of God, or not: for many false prophets are gone out in to the world. ² Hereby shall ye know the spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God. ³ And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God. And the same is that spirit of antichrist, of whom ye have heard, how that he should come: and even now already is he in the world.

¹³ Hereby know we, that we abide in him, and he in us: For he hath given us of his spirit.

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

¹ The elder, to the elect lady and her children which I love in the truth: And not I only, but also all that have known the truth,

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. ⁸ Look on yourselves, that we lose not that we have wrought: but that we may have a full reward. ⁹ Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that endureth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the father, and the son. ¹⁰ If there come any unto you and bring not this learning, him receive not to house: neither bid him Godspeed.

¹⁰ If there come any unto you and bring not this learning, him receive not to house: neither bid him Godspeed. ¹¹ For he that biddeth him Godspeed, is partaker of his evil deeds.

¹ The elder unto the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

¹ The elder unto the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. ² Wellbeloved, I wish in all things that thou prosperedest and faredest well, even as thy soul prospereth. ³ I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, how thou in truth walkest. ⁴ I have no greater joy than for to hear how that my sons walk in verity. ⁵ Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers,

⁵ Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers, ⁶ which bare witness of thy love before all the congregation. Which brethren, when thou bringest forwards on their journey — as it beseemeth God — thou shalt do well:

⁶ which bare witness of thy love before all the congregation. Which brethren, when thou bringest forwards on their journey — as it beseemeth God — thou shalt do well: ⁷ because that for his name's sake they went forth, and took nothing of the gentiles. 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.

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

¹² These are spots which of your kindness feast together, without fear, feeding themselves. Clouds they are without water, carried about of winds: and trees without fruit at gathering time, twice dead, and plucked up by the roots.

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

¹⁹ These are makers of sects, fleshly, having no spirit.

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

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

¹ The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, for to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. And he sent and showed by his angel unto his servant John,

⁴ John, to the seven congregations in Asia. Grace be with you and peace, from him which is and which was, and which is to come: and from the seven spirits which are present before his throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ which is a faithful witness, and first begotten of the dead: and Lord over the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 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.

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. ¹⁰ I was in the spirit on a Sunday, and heard behind me a great voice, as it had been of a trumpet, 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,

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

⁹ and they sung a new song saying, "Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast killed, and hast redeemed us by thy blood, out of all kindreds, and tongues, and people, and nations, 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." ¹³ And all creatures, which are in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that are in them heard I, saying, "Blessing, honour, glory, and power be unto him that sitteth upon the seat, and unto the lamb for evermore." ¹⁴ And the four beasts said, "Amen." And the twenty four elders fell upon their faces, and worshipped him that liveth for evermore.

¹⁰ and cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be ascribed to him that sitteth upon the seat of our God, and unto the lamb." ¹¹ And all the angels stood in the compass of the seat, and of the elders and of the four beasts, and fell before the seat on their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² saying, amen, "Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanks, and honour, and power and might, be unto our God, for evermore, amen."

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying, "In heaven is now made salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: For he is cast down which accused them before God day and night:

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,

¹ And after that, I heard the voice of much people in heaven saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and honour, and power be ascribed to the Lord our God, ² for true and righteous are his judgments, for he hath judged the great whore which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants of her hand." ³ And again they said, "Hallelujah! And smoke rose up for evermore." ⁴ And the twenty four elders and the four beasts fell down, and worshipped God that sat on the seat saying, "Amen, Hallelujah!" ⁵ And a voice came out of the seat, saying, "Praise our Lord God all ye that are his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great." ⁶ And I heard the voice of much people, even as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of strong thunderings, saying, "Hallelujah, for God omnipotent reigneth.

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."

¹ And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand. ² And he took the dragon, that old serpent which is the devil and Satan, and he bound him a thousand years: ³ and cast him into the bottomless pit, and he bound him, and set a seal on him, that he should deceive the people no more, till the thousand years were fulfilled. And after that he must be loosed for a little season.

²¹ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
