Galatians 3 Cross References - Murdock

¹ O ye Galatians, deficient in understanding! Who hath fascinated you? For lo, Jesus the Messiah hath been portrayed as in a picture, crucified before your eyes. ² This only would I learn from you, Was it by works of the law, that ye received the Spirit? or by the hearing of faith? ³ Are ye so foolish, that having begun in the Spirit, ye now would consummate in the flesh? ⁴ And have ye borne all these things in vain? And I would, it were in vain! ⁵ He therefore who giveth the Spirit in you, and who worketh miracles among you, doth he these things by the deeds of the law? or by the hearing of faith? ⁶ In like manner Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. ⁷ Know ye, therefore, that those who are of faith, they are the children of Abraham. ⁸ For, because God knew beforehand that the Gentiles would be made just by faith, he preannounced it to Abraham; as saith the holy scripture, In thee shall all nations be blessed. ⁹ Believers, therefore, it is, who are blessed with believing Abraham. ¹⁰ For they who are of the deeds of the law, are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who shall not do every thing written in this law. ¹¹ And that no one becometh just before God, by the law, is manifest: because it is written, The just by faith, shall live. ¹² Now the law is not of faith; but, whoever shall do the things written in it, shall live by them. ¹³ But the Messiah hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, and hath been a curse for us; (for it is written, Cursed is everyone that is hanged on a tree;) ¹⁴ that the blessing of Abraham might be on the Gentiles, through Jesus the Messiah; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by faith. ¹⁵ My brethren, I speak as among men; a man's covenant which is confirmed, no one setteth aside, or changeth any thing in it. ¹⁶ Now to Abraham was the promise made, and to his seed. And it said to him, not, to thy seeds, as being many; but to thy seed, as being one, which is the Messiah. ¹⁷ And this I say: That the covenant which was previously confirmed by God in the Messiah, the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot set it aside, and nullify the promise. ¹⁸ And if the inheritance were by the law, it would not be by promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. ¹⁹ What then is the law? It was added on account of transgression, until that seed should come, to whom belonged the promise: and the law was given by angels through a mediator. ²⁰ Now a mediator is not of one; but God is one. ²¹ Is the law then opposed to the promise of God? Far be it. For if a law had been given, which could make alive, certainly, righteousness would have been by the law. ²² But the scripture hath inclosed all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus the Messiah might be given to them that believe. ²³ But before the faith came, the law kept us shut up unto the faith that was to be revealed. ²⁴ The law, therefore, was a monitor for us unto the Messiah, that we might become just by faith. ²⁵ But the faith having come, we are not under the monitor. ²⁶ For ye are all the children of God, by faith in Jesus the Messiah. ²⁷ For they who have been baptized into the Messiah, have put on the Messiah. ²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free-born, neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Jesus the Messiah. ²⁹ And if ye are the Messiah's, then are ye the seed of Abraham, and heirs by the promise.

¹⁷ Do not suppose that I have come to subvert the law or the prophets: I have come not to subvert, but to fulfill.

¹⁷ Do not suppose that I have come to subvert the law or the prophets: I have come not to subvert, but to fulfill. ¹⁸ For verily I say to you, that until heaven and earth shall pass away, one iota or one letter shall not pass from the law, until all shall be fulfilled.

¹⁸ For verily I say to you, that until heaven and earth shall pass away, one iota or one letter shall not pass from the law, until all shall be fulfilled. ¹⁹ Therefore whoever shall break one of these small commands and shall so inculcate on the children of men, shall be called little in the kingdom of heaven: but every one that shall do and teach them, shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say to you, that unless your righteousness shall abound more than that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁵ that every one who believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life eternal. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, should not perish, but should have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world might live by means of him. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not, is already condemned; because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

⁴⁰ For this is the pleasure of my Father, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.

¹⁵ And they went down, and prayed over them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For he was not yet on any one of them; and they had only been baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus.

³⁶ And as they proceeded on the way, they came to a certain place in which there was water. And the eunuch said: Lo, here is water; what doth forbid, that I should be baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, it is allowable. And he answered, and said: I believe that Jesus Messiah is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stop; and they both went down to the water, and Philip baptized the eunuch.

¹⁸ And immediately there fell from his eyes something like a scab; and his eyes were opened. And he arose and was baptized.

⁴⁴ And while Simon was uttering these things, the Holy Spirit overshadowed all them that were hearing the word. ⁴⁵ And the circumcised brethren who came with him, were amazed and astonished, that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also. ⁴⁶ For they heard them speak with diverse tongues, and magnify God. ⁴⁷ And Simon said: Can any one forbid water, that those should not be baptized, they who have received, lo, the Holy Spirit, as well as we?

¹⁵ And when I there commenced speaking, the Holy Spirit overshadowed them, as it did us from the beginning.

¹⁵ And when I there commenced speaking, the Holy Spirit overshadowed them, as it did us from the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of our Lord, when he said: John baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ And I remembered the word of our Lord, when he said: John baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ If then God equally gave the gift to the Gentiles that believed in our Lord Jesus Messiah, as he did to us: who was I, that I could forbid God? ¹⁸ And when they heard these words, they desisted; and they glorified God and said: Now to the Gentiles also doth God give repentance unto life.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto life, to all who believe in it; whether first they are of the Jews, or whether they are of the Gentiles. ¹⁷ For in it is revealed the righteousness of God, from faith to faith; as it is written, The righteous by faith, shall live.

⁸ but to them who are obstinate and obey not the truth, but obey iniquity, to them he will retribute wrath and ire. ⁹ And tribulation and anguish will be to every man that doeth evil; to the Jews first, and also to the Gentiles: ¹⁰ but glory and honor and peace to every one that doeth good; to the Jews first, and also to the Gentiles.

¹³ (for not the hearers of the law, are righteous before God; but the doers of the law are justified;

¹ What then is the superiority of the Jew? Or what is the advantage of circumcision? ² Much, every way. And first, because to them were intrusted the oracles of God. ³ For if some of them have not believed, have they, by their not believing, made the faith of God inefficient? ⁴ Far be it: for God is veracious, and every man false: as it is written: That thou mightest be upright, in thy declarations; and be found pure, when they judge thee. ⁵ But if our iniquity establish the rectitude of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous, when he inflicteth wrath? (I speak as a man.) ⁶ Far from it. Otherwise how will God judge the world?

⁹ What then, have WE the superiority, when we have before decided as to both Jews and Gentiles, that all of them are under sin? ¹⁰ As it is written: There is none righteous; no, no one: ¹¹ and none that understandeth; nor that seeketh after God. ¹² They have all turned aside, together; and become reprobates. There is none that doeth good; no, not one. ¹³ Their throats are open sepulchres, and their tongues treacherous; and the venom of the asp is under their lips. ¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; ¹⁵ and their feet are swift to shed blood. ¹⁶ Destruction and anguish are in their paths: ¹⁷ and the path of peacefulness they have not known: ¹⁸ and the fear of God is not before their eyes. ¹⁹ Now we know, that whatever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be guilty before God.

¹⁹ Now we know, that whatever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be guilty before God. ²⁰ Wherefore, by the deeds of the law, no flesh is justified before him: for, by the law, sin is known.

²⁰ Wherefore, by the deeds of the law, no flesh is justified before him: for, by the law, sin is known. ²¹ But now, the righteousness of God without the law, is manifested; and the law and the prophets testify of it: ²² even the righteousness of God, which is by faith in Jesus Messiah, for every one, and on every one, that believeth in him: for there is no distinction;

²² even the righteousness of God, which is by faith in Jesus Messiah, for every one, and on every one, that believeth in him: for there is no distinction; ²³ for they have all sinned, and failed of the glory of God. ²⁴ And they are justified gratuitously, by grace, and by the redemption which is in Jesus Messiah; ²⁵ whom God hath preconstituted a propitiation, by faith in his blood, because of our sins, which we before committed,

²⁵ whom God hath preconstituted a propitiation, by faith in his blood, because of our sins, which we before committed, ²⁶ in the space which God in his long suffering gave to us, for the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time; that he might be righteous, and might with righteousness justify him who is in the faith of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

²⁸ We therefore conclude, that it is by faith a man is justified, and not by the works of the law. ²⁹ For, is he the God of the Jews only, and not of the Gentiles? Nay: of the Gentiles also. ³⁰ Because there is, one God, who justifieth the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision by the same faith. ³¹ Do, we then nullify the law by faith? Far be it. On the contrary, we establish the law.

³ For what saith the scripture? That Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

³ For what saith the scripture? That Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. ⁴ But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as a debt to him.

⁴ But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as a debt to him.

⁴ But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as a debt to him. ⁵ Whereas, to him that worketh not, but only believeth in him that justifieth sinners, his faith is accounted to him for righteousness.

⁵ Whereas, to him that worketh not, but only believeth in him that justifieth sinners, his faith is accounted to him for righteousness.

⁵ Whereas, to him that worketh not, but only believeth in him that justifieth sinners, his faith is accounted to him for righteousness. ⁶ As David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man, to whom God reckoneth righteousness without works,

⁶ As David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man, to whom God reckoneth righteousness without works, ⁷ saying: Blessed are they, whose iniquity is forgiven, and whose sins are covered up: ⁸ and, Blessed is the man, to whom God will not reckon his sin. ⁹ This blessedness, therefore, is it on the circumcision? or on the uncircumcision? For we say, that Abraham's faith was reckoned to him for righteousness.

⁹ This blessedness, therefore, is it on the circumcision? or on the uncircumcision? For we say, that Abraham's faith was reckoned to him for righteousness. ¹⁰ How then was it reckoned to him? In circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

¹⁰ How then was it reckoned to him? In circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. ¹¹ For he received circumcision, as the sign and the seal of the righteousness of his faith while in uncircumcision: that he might become the father of all them of the uncircumcision who believe; and that it might be reckoned to them also for righteousness:

¹¹ For he received circumcision, as the sign and the seal of the righteousness of his faith while in uncircumcision: that he might become the father of all them of the uncircumcision who believe; and that it might be reckoned to them also for righteousness:

¹¹ For he received circumcision, as the sign and the seal of the righteousness of his faith while in uncircumcision: that he might become the father of all them of the uncircumcision who believe; and that it might be reckoned to them also for righteousness:

¹¹ For he received circumcision, as the sign and the seal of the righteousness of his faith while in uncircumcision: that he might become the father of all them of the uncircumcision who believe; and that it might be reckoned to them also for righteousness:

¹¹ For he received circumcision, as the sign and the seal of the righteousness of his faith while in uncircumcision: that he might become the father of all them of the uncircumcision who believe; and that it might be reckoned to them also for righteousness: ¹² and the father of the circumcision; not to them only who are of the circumcision, but to them also who fulfill the steps of the faith of our father Abraham in his uncircumcision.

¹² and the father of the circumcision; not to them only who are of the circumcision, but to them also who fulfill the steps of the faith of our father Abraham in his uncircumcision.

¹² and the father of the circumcision; not to them only who are of the circumcision, but to them also who fulfill the steps of the faith of our father Abraham in his uncircumcision.

¹² and the father of the circumcision; not to them only who are of the circumcision, but to them also who fulfill the steps of the faith of our father Abraham in his uncircumcision. ¹³ For the promise to Abraham and to his seed, that he should become the heir of the world, was not by the law, but by the righteousness of his faith.

¹³ For the promise to Abraham and to his seed, that he should become the heir of the world, was not by the law, but by the righteousness of his faith.

¹³ For the promise to Abraham and to his seed, that he should become the heir of the world, was not by the law, but by the righteousness of his faith.

¹³ For the promise to Abraham and to his seed, that he should become the heir of the world, was not by the law, but by the righteousness of his faith. ¹⁴ For if they who are of the law were heirs, faith would be made void, and the promise of no force.

¹⁴ For if they who are of the law were heirs, faith would be made void, and the promise of no force.

¹⁴ For if they who are of the law were heirs, faith would be made void, and the promise of no force.

¹⁴ For if they who are of the law were heirs, faith would be made void, and the promise of no force. ¹⁵ For the law is a worker of wrath; because where no law is, there is no transgression of law.

¹⁵ For the law is a worker of wrath; because where no law is, there is no transgression of law.

¹⁵ For the law is a worker of wrath; because where no law is, there is no transgression of law. ¹⁶ Wherefore, it is by the faith which is by grace, that we are justified: so that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all:

¹⁶ Wherefore, it is by the faith which is by grace, that we are justified: so that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all:

¹⁶ Wherefore, it is by the faith which is by grace, that we are justified: so that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all:

¹⁶ Wherefore, it is by the faith which is by grace, that we are justified: so that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all: ¹⁷ as it is written: " I have constituted thee a father to a multitude of nations;" namely before God, in whom thou hast believed; who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which are not, as if they were.

¹⁷ as it is written: " I have constituted thee a father to a multitude of nations;" namely before God, in whom thou hast believed; who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which are not, as if they were. ¹⁸ And without hope, he confided in the hope of becoming the father of a multitude of nations; (as it is written: So will thy seed be.) ¹⁹ And he was not sickly in his faith, while contemplating his inert body, (for he was a hundred years old,) and the inert womb of Sarah. ²⁰ And he did not hesitate at the promise of God, as one lacking faith; but he was strong in faith, and gave glory to God; ²¹ and felt assured, that what God had promised to him, he was able to fulfill.

²¹ and felt assured, that what God had promised to him, he was able to fulfill. ²² And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.

²⁴ but for our sakes also; because it is to be accounted so to us, who believe in him that raised our Lord Jesus Messiah from the dead; ²⁵ who was delivered up, on account of our sins; and arose, that he might justify us.

¹² As by means of one man, sin entered into the world, and, by means of sin, death; and so death passed upon all the sons of men, inasmuch as they all have sinned:

²⁰ And the entrance given to the law, was that sin might increase: and where sin increased, there grace abounded. ²¹ So that, as sin had reigned in death, so grace might reign in righteousness unto life eternal, by means of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

³ Or do ye not know, that we who are baptized into Jesus Messiah, are baptized into his death? ⁴ For we are buried with him in baptism unto death; that as Jesus Messiah arose from the dead into the glory of his Father, so also we, to walk in a new life.

¹⁴ And sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

¹⁴ And sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace. ¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Far be it.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that ye were once the servants of sin but have now from the heart obeyed that form of doctrine to which ye are devoted.

¹⁹ -(I speak as among men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.)-As ye once gave up your members to the servitude of pollution and iniquity, so also now give ye up your members to the servitude of righteousness and sanctity.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is life eternal, through our Lord Jesus Messiah.

⁴ And now, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law, by the body of Messiah; that ye might be joined to another, even to him who arose from the dead; and might yield fruits unto God.

⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin?, Far be it. For I had not learned sin, except by means of the law: for I had not known concupiscence, had not the law said, Thou shalt not covet:

⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin?, Far be it. For I had not learned sin, except by means of the law: for I had not known concupiscence, had not the law said, Thou shalt not covet: ⁸ and by this commandment, sin found occasion, and perfected in me all concupiscence: for without the law, sin was dead.

⁸ and by this commandment, sin found occasion, and perfected in me all concupiscence: for without the law, sin was dead. ⁹ And I, without the law, was alive formerly; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died;

⁹ And I, without the law, was alive formerly; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died; ¹⁰ and the commandment of life was found by me to be unto death. ¹¹ For sin, by the occasion which it found by means of the commandment, seduced me; and thereby slew me. ¹² Wherefore, the law is holy; and the commandment is holy, and righteous, and good. ¹³ Did that which is good, therefore, become death to me? Far be it. But sin, that it might be seen to be sin, perfected death in me by means of that good law; that sin might the more be condemned, by means of the commandment.

²⁴ O, a miserable man, am I! Who will rescue me from this body of death? ²⁵ I thank God; by means of our Lord Jesus Messiah I shall be rescued. [ (Romans 7:26) Now, therefore, in my conscience, I am a servant of the law of God; but in my flesh, I am a servant of the law of sin. ]

³ Inasmuch as the law was impotent, by means of the weakness of the flesh, God sent his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin; that He might, in his flesh, condemn sin; ⁴ so that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us; since it is not in the flesh that we walk, but in the Spirit.

⁷ Because minding the things of the flesh, is enmity towards God: for it doth not subject itself to the law of God, because it is not possible.

⁹ Ye, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit; if the Spirit of God truly dwelleth in you. And if in any one there is not the Spirit of Messiah he is none of his. ¹⁰ But if Messiah is in you, the body is dead, in regard to sin; and the Spirit is alive in regard to righteousness. ¹¹ And if the Spirit of him, who raised our Lord Jesus Messiah from the dead, dwelleth in you; he who raised our Lord Jesus Messiah from the dead, will also vivify your dead bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you. ¹² Now we are debtors, my Brethren, not to the flesh, that we should walk according to the flesh: ¹³ - (For if ye live according to the flesh, ye are to die. But if, by the Spirit, ye mortify the practices of the body, ye will live. ¹⁴ For they who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God :)

¹⁴ For they who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God :) ¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage, again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Father, our Father.

¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage, again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Father, our Father. ¹⁶ And this Spirit testifieth to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.

¹⁶ And this Spirit testifieth to our spirit, that we are the sons of God. ¹⁷ And if sons, then heirs; heirs of God, and participators of the inheritance of Jesus Messiah: so that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.

¹⁷ And if sons, then heirs; heirs of God, and participators of the inheritance of Jesus Messiah: so that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.

²⁶ So also the Spirit aideth our weakness. For we know not what to pray for, in a proper manner; but the Spirit prayeth for us, with groans not expressible: ²⁷ and the explorer of hearts, he knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit; because he prayeth for the saints, agreeably to the good pleasure of God.

³ For I have prayed, that I myself might be accursed from Messiah, for my brethren and my kinsmen in the flesh:

⁷ Neither are they all sons, because they are of the seed of Abraham: for it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. ⁸ That is, it is not the children of the flesh, who are the children of God; but the children of the promise, are accounted for the seed.

¹⁷ For in the scripture, he said to Pharaoh: For this very thing, have I raised thee up; that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.

²⁴ namely, upon us who are called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles:

³⁰ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who ran not after righteousness, have found righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith:

³⁰ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who ran not after righteousness, have found righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith: ³¹ But Israel, who ran after the law of righteousness, hath not found the law of righteousness.

³¹ But Israel, who ran after the law of righteousness, hath not found the law of righteousness. ³² And why? Because they sought it, not by faith, but by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone:

³² And why? Because they sought it, not by faith, but by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone: ³³ As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling-stone, and a stone of offence: and he who believeth in him, shall not be ashamed.

³ For they know not the righteousness of God, but seek to establish their own righteousness: and therefore they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God. ⁴ For Messiah is the aim of the law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth in him.

⁴ For Messiah is the aim of the law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth in him. ⁵ For Moses describeth the righteousness, which is by the law, thus: Whoever shall do these things, shall live by them. ⁶ But the righteousness which is by faith, saith thus: Thou shalt not say in thy heart, Who ascendeth to heaven, and bringeth Messiah down?

⁹ And if thou shalt confess with thy mouth our Lord Jesus, and shalt believe with thy heart, that God hath raised him from the dead; thou shalt live.

⁹ And if thou shalt confess with thy mouth our Lord Jesus, and shalt believe with thy heart, that God hath raised him from the dead; thou shalt live. ¹⁰ For the heart that believeth in him, is justified; and the mouth that confesseth him, is restored to life. ¹¹ For the scripture saith: Every one that believeth in him, shall not be ashamed. ¹² And in this, it discriminateth neither Jews nor Gentiles. For there is one Lord over them all, who is rich, towards every one that calleth on him. ¹³ For every one that shall call on the name of the Lord, will have life. ¹⁴ How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or, how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? Or, how shall they hear, without a preacher? ¹⁵ Or, how shall they preach, if they are not sent forth? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of the heralds of peace, and of the heralds of good things? ¹⁶ But all of them have not obeyed the proclamation of the gospel. (For, Isaiah said: My Lord, who hath believed our proclamation?)

¹⁶ But all of them have not obeyed the proclamation of the gospel. (For, Isaiah said: My Lord, who hath believed our proclamation?) ¹⁷ Therefore, faith is from the hearing of the ear; and the hearing of the ear, is from the word of God.

⁶ But if by grace, it is not by works: otherwise, grace is not grace. And if by works, it is not by grace: Otherwise, work is not work.

³² For God hath shut up all men in disobedience, that upon all men he might have mercy.

⁵ so also we, who are collectively many persons, are one body in Messiah, and are naturally members of each other.

¹⁴ But clothe yourselves with our Lord Jesus Messiah: and be not thoughtful about your flesh, for the indulgence of appetites.

¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem I have made a circuit quite to Illyricum, and have fulfilled the announcement of the Messiah;

⁴ I thank my God at all times on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given to you in Jesus Messiah; ⁵ that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all discourse, and in all knowledge;

¹² And this I state: That one of you saith, I am of Paul; and another saith, I am of Apollos; and another saith, I am of Cephas; and another saith, I am of Messiah.

¹⁷ For Messiah did not send me to baptize, but to preach; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Messiah should be inefficient.

²³ But we preach Messiah as crucified; which is a stumbling-block to the Jews, and foolishness to the Gentiles; ²⁴ but to them who are called, both Jews and Gentiles, Messiah is the energy of God, and the wisdom of God.

² And I did not govern myself among you, as if I knew any thing, except only Jesus Messiah; and him also as crucified.

²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are yours: ²³ and ye are Messiah's, and Messiah is God's.

¹⁵ For though ye have a myriad of teachers in Messiah, yet not many fathers; for in Jesus Messiah, I have begotten you by preaching.

¹⁴ For the husband who believeth not, is sanctified by the wife that believeth; and the wife who believeth not, is sanctified by the husband that believeth: otherwise their children would be impure; but now are they pure.

¹⁹ For circumcision is nothing, neither is uncircumcision; but the keeping of God's commands.

²⁹ And this I say, my Brethren, that the time to come is short; so that they who have wives, should be as if they had none;

²⁰ and with the Jews, I was as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; and with those under the law, I was as under the law, that I might gain them who are under the law; ²¹ and to those who have not the law, I was as without the law, (although I am not without law to God, but under the law of the Messiah,) that I might gain them that are without the law.

² and they were all baptized by Moses, in the cloud and in the sea;

¹⁹ What then do I say? That an idol is any thing? Or, that an idol's sacrifice is any thing? No.

²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye commemorate the death of our Lord, until his advent.

⁷ And to each man, there is given a manifestation of the Spirit, that it may aid him. ⁸ To one, by the Spirit, there is given a word of wisdom; and to another, by the same Spirit, there is given a word of knowledge: ⁹ to another, by the same Spirit, faith: to another, by the same Spirit, gifts of healing: ¹⁰ and to another, miracles: and to another, prophecy: and to another, the discerning of spirits: and to another, divers kinds of tongues: and to another, the interpretation of tongues.

¹⁰ and to another, miracles: and to another, prophecy: and to another, the discerning of spirits: and to another, divers kinds of tongues: and to another, the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But all these, worketh that one Spirit; and he distributeth to every one as he pleaseth. ¹² For as the body is one, and in it are many members; and all those members of the body, though many, are one body; so also is the Messiah.

¹² For as the body is one, and in it are many members; and all those members of the body, though many, are one body; so also is the Messiah. ¹³ For all of us, likewise, by one Spirit, have been baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free; and all of us have drinked in one Spirit.

¹³ For all of us, likewise, by one Spirit, have been baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free; and all of us have drinked in one Spirit.

²⁷ Now ye are the body of Messiah, and members in your place.

² and by which ye have life. In what terms I preached to you, ye remember; unless ye have believed in vain.

²³ every one in his order; the Messiah was the first-fruits; afterwards, they that are the Messiah's, at his coming.

³² If, as amongst men, I was cast to wild beasts at Ephesus, what did it profit me, if the dead rise not? " Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die."

²⁰ For all the promises of God in him, the Messiah, are Yes; for which cause, we through him give our Amen, to the glory of God.

²² and hath sealed us, and hath given the earnest of his Spirit in our hearts.

⁸ how then shall not the ministration of the Spirit be still more glorious?

¹⁹ For God was in the Messiah, who hath reconciled the world with his majesty, and did not reckon to them their sins; and who hath placed in us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ We are therefore ambassadors for the Messiah, and it is as if God was beseeching you by us. In behalf of the Messiah, therefore, we beseech you, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ For, on your account, he hath made him who knew no sin to be sin, that we might by him become the righteousness of God.

²¹ For, on your account, he hath made him who knew no sin to be sin, that we might by him become the righteousness of God.

¹⁸ and will be to you a Father, and ye shall be sons and daughters to me, saith the Lord Almighty.

⁶ And this I say: He that soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully, shall also reap bountifully.

⁴ For the arms of our warfare are not those of the flesh, but those of the power of God; by which we subdue rebellious castles. ⁵ And we demolish imaginations, and every lofty thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and subjugate all reasonings to obedience to the Messiah.

⁷ Do ye look on outward appearances? If any one is confident in himself that he is of the Messiah, let him know, from himself, that as he is of the Messiah, so also are we.

³ But I fear, lest, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his craftiness, so your minds should be corrupted from simplicity towards the Messiah. ⁴ For if he that cometh to you, had proclaimed to you another Jesus, whom we have not proclaimed; or if ye had received another Spirit, which ye have not received; or another gospel, which ye have not accepted; ye might well have given assent.

¹³ For they are false legates, crafty workers, and feign themselves to be legates of the Messiah. ¹⁴ And in this there is nothing strange. For if Satan feigneth himself an angel of light, ¹⁵ it is no great thing if his ministers feign themselves ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

¹² I wrought among you the signs of the legates, with all patience; and in prodigies, and in wonders, and in mighty deeds.

³ because ye demand proof, that it is the Messiah that speaketh by me, who hath not been powerless among you, but powerful among you.

⁶ I admire, how soon ye have turned from the Messiah, who called you by his grace, unto another gospel;

¹⁴ And when I saw, that they did not walk correctly, in the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas, before them all: If thou art a Jew, and livest in the Gentile way, and not in the Jewish, why dost thou compel the Gentiles to live in the Jewish way?

¹⁶ because we know that a man is not made just by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus the Messiah; even we have believed in Jesus the Messiah, in order to be made just by faith in the Messiah, and not by the works of the law: for, by the deeds of the law, no flesh is made just. ¹⁷ And if, while we seek to become just by the Messiah, we are found to be ourselves sinners, is Jesus the Messiah therefore the minister of sin? Far be it!

¹⁹ For I, by the law, have become dead to the law, that I might live to God; and I am crucified with the Messiah.

²¹ I do not spurn the grace of God. For if righteousness is by means of the law, the Messiah died in vain.

² This only would I learn from you, Was it by works of the law, that ye received the Spirit? or by the hearing of faith? ³ Are ye so foolish, that having begun in the Spirit, ye now would consummate in the flesh?

⁵ He therefore who giveth the Spirit in you, and who worketh miracles among you, doth he these things by the deeds of the law? or by the hearing of faith?

⁵ He therefore who giveth the Spirit in you, and who worketh miracles among you, doth he these things by the deeds of the law? or by the hearing of faith? ⁶ In like manner Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. ⁷ Know ye, therefore, that those who are of faith, they are the children of Abraham.

⁷ Know ye, therefore, that those who are of faith, they are the children of Abraham.

⁷ Know ye, therefore, that those who are of faith, they are the children of Abraham. ⁸ For, because God knew beforehand that the Gentiles would be made just by faith, he preannounced it to Abraham; as saith the holy scripture, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

⁸ For, because God knew beforehand that the Gentiles would be made just by faith, he preannounced it to Abraham; as saith the holy scripture, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

⁸ For, because God knew beforehand that the Gentiles would be made just by faith, he preannounced it to Abraham; as saith the holy scripture, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

⁸ For, because God knew beforehand that the Gentiles would be made just by faith, he preannounced it to Abraham; as saith the holy scripture, In thee shall all nations be blessed. ⁹ Believers, therefore, it is, who are blessed with believing Abraham.

⁹ Believers, therefore, it is, who are blessed with believing Abraham.

⁹ Believers, therefore, it is, who are blessed with believing Abraham. ¹⁰ For they who are of the deeds of the law, are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who shall not do every thing written in this law.

¹⁰ For they who are of the deeds of the law, are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who shall not do every thing written in this law.

¹² Now the law is not of faith; but, whoever shall do the things written in it, shall live by them.

¹⁴ that the blessing of Abraham might be on the Gentiles, through Jesus the Messiah; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by faith. ¹⁵ My brethren, I speak as among men; a man's covenant which is confirmed, no one setteth aside, or changeth any thing in it. ¹⁶ Now to Abraham was the promise made, and to his seed. And it said to him, not, to thy seeds, as being many; but to thy seed, as being one, which is the Messiah. ¹⁷ And this I say: That the covenant which was previously confirmed by God in the Messiah, the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot set it aside, and nullify the promise.

¹⁹ What then is the law? It was added on account of transgression, until that seed should come, to whom belonged the promise: and the law was given by angels through a mediator.

²¹ Is the law then opposed to the promise of God? Far be it. For if a law had been given, which could make alive, certainly, righteousness would have been by the law.

²¹ Is the law then opposed to the promise of God? Far be it. For if a law had been given, which could make alive, certainly, righteousness would have been by the law. ²² But the scripture hath inclosed all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus the Messiah might be given to them that believe.

²² But the scripture hath inclosed all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus the Messiah might be given to them that believe. ²³ But before the faith came, the law kept us shut up unto the faith that was to be revealed.

²³ But before the faith came, the law kept us shut up unto the faith that was to be revealed. ²⁴ The law, therefore, was a monitor for us unto the Messiah, that we might become just by faith. ²⁵ But the faith having come, we are not under the monitor.

²⁵ But the faith having come, we are not under the monitor. ²⁶ For ye are all the children of God, by faith in Jesus the Messiah.

²⁶ For ye are all the children of God, by faith in Jesus the Messiah. ²⁷ For they who have been baptized into the Messiah, have put on the Messiah. ²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free-born, neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Jesus the Messiah.

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free-born, neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Jesus the Messiah. ²⁹ And if ye are the Messiah's, then are ye the seed of Abraham, and heirs by the promise.

²⁹ And if ye are the Messiah's, then are ye the seed of Abraham, and heirs by the promise.

¹ But I say, that the heir, so long as he is a child, differeth not from a servant, although he is lord of all;

¹ But I say, that the heir, so long as he is a child, differeth not from a servant, although he is lord of all;

² but he is under supervisors and stewards, until the time established by his father.

³ So also we, while we were children, were in subordination under the elements of the world.

³ So also we, while we were children, were in subordination under the elements of the world.

⁴ But when the consummation of the time arrived, God sent forth his Son; and he was from a woman, and was under the law;

⁴ But when the consummation of the time arrived, God sent forth his Son; and he was from a woman, and was under the law; ⁵ that he might redeem them that were under the law; and that we might receive the adoption of sons.

⁵ that he might redeem them that were under the law; and that we might receive the adoption of sons.

⁵ that he might redeem them that were under the law; and that we might receive the adoption of sons. ⁶ And, because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, who crieth, Father, our Father.

⁶ And, because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, who crieth, Father, our Father. ⁷ Wherefore, ye are no longer servants, but sons; and if sons, then heirs of God; through Jesus the Messiah.

⁷ Wherefore, ye are no longer servants, but sons; and if sons, then heirs of God; through Jesus the Messiah. ⁸ For then, when ye knew not God, ye served them who in their nature are not gods. ⁹ But now, since ye have known God, or rather, have been known by God, ye turn yourselves again to the weak and beggarly elements, and wish again to be under them!

⁹ But now, since ye have known God, or rather, have been known by God, ye turn yourselves again to the weak and beggarly elements, and wish again to be under them! ¹⁰ Ye observe days and moons, and set times, and years!

²¹ Tell me, ye who desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? ²² For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondmaid, and one by the free woman. ²³ But he that was by the bond maid, was born after the flesh; and he that was by the free woman, was by the promise. ²⁴ And these are allegorical of the two covenants; the one from mount Sinai, which bringeth forth for bondage, is Hagar. ²⁵ For Hagar is the mount Sinai in Arabia, and correspondeth with the present Jerusalem, and is serving in bondage, she and her children. ²⁶ But the Jerusalem above, is the free woman, who is the mother of us. ²⁷ For it is written, Be joyful, thou barren, who bearest not: exult and shout, thou who hast not travailed: for more numerous are the children of the desolate than the children of the married woman. ²⁸ Now we, my brethren, like Isaac, are the children of the promise.

²⁸ Now we, my brethren, like Isaac, are the children of the promise. ²⁹ And as then, he that was born after the flesh, persecuted him who was born of the Spirit; so also is it now. ³⁰ But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondmaid, and her son; because the son of the bondmaid shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.

³⁰ But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondmaid, and her son; because the son of the bondmaid shall not inherit with the son of the free woman. ³¹ So then, my brethren, we are not sons of the bond-woman, but sons of the free woman.

⁴ Ye have renounced the Messiah, ye who seek justification by the law: and ye have apostatized from grace.

⁴ Ye have renounced the Messiah, ye who seek justification by the law: and ye have apostatized from grace. ⁵ For we, through the Spirit, which is from faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For, in the Messiah Jesus, circumcision is nothing, neither is uncircumcision, but the faith that is perfected by love.

⁶ For, in the Messiah Jesus, circumcision is nothing, neither is uncircumcision, but the faith that is perfected by love. ⁷ Ye did run well: who hath interrupted you, that ye acquiesce not in the truth? ⁸ The bias of your mind is not from him who called you.

¹⁶ And I say: Walk ye in the Spirit; and never follow the cravings of the flesh.

¹⁸ But if ye are guided by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

²⁴ And they who are of the Messiah, have crucified their flesh, with all its passions and its cravings.

¹² They who are disposed to glory in the flesh, they urge you to become circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted on account of the cross of the Messiah. ¹³ For not even they themselves, who are circumcised, keep the law: but they wish you to become circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. ¹⁴ But as for me, let me not glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.

⁵ and adopted us for sons, in Jesus the Messiah, as was agreeable to his pleasure:

¹³ In whom, ye also have heard the word of truth, which is the gospel of your life, and have believed in him; and have been sealed with the Holy Spirit, who was promised, ¹⁴ who is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of them that are alive, and for the praise of his glory.

¹³ But now, by Jesus the Messiah, ye who before were afar off, have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah. ¹⁴ For he is himself our peace, who hath made the two become one, and hath demolished the wall which stood in the midst, and the enmity, by his flesh; ¹⁵ and by his prescriptions he hath abolished the law of ordinances; that, in himself, he might make the two to be one new man; and he hath made peace, ¹⁶ and hath reconciled both with God, in one body, and hath slain the enmity by his cross. ¹⁷ And he came, and proclaimed peace to you afar off, and to those near: ¹⁸ because, by him there is access for us both, by one Spirit, unto the Father.

¹⁸ because, by him there is access for us both, by one Spirit, unto the Father. ¹⁹ Wherefore, ye are not strangers, nor sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God. ²⁰ And ye are built upon the foundations of the legates and the prophets; and Jesus the Messiah hath become the head of the corner in the edifice. ²¹ And in him all the edifice is framed together, and groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² while ye also are builded in him, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

²² while ye also are builded in him, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy legates and to his prophets, by the Spirit; ⁶ that the Gentiles should be sharers. of his inheritance, and partakers of his body, and of the promise which is given in him by the gospel;

⁶ that the Gentiles should be sharers. of his inheritance, and partakers of his body, and of the promise which is given in him by the gospel; ⁷ of which I have been a minister, according to the gift of the goodness of God, which was imparted to me by the operation of his power: ⁸ to me, who am the least of all the saints, hath this grace been given, that I should announce among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Messiah,

⁸ to me, who am the least of all the saints, hath this grace been given, that I should announce among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Messiah, ⁹ and should show to all men what is the dispensation of the mystery, which for ages was hid up in God the Creator of all things: ¹⁰ so that, by means of the church, the manifold wisdom of God might become known to the principalities and powers that are in heaven:

¹⁶ that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit; that in your inner man

⁴ so that ye may become one body, and one Spirit; even as ye are called unto one hope of your calling.

¹⁴ and that we might not be children, agitated and turned about by every wind of the crafty doctrines of men who plot to seduce by their subtilty: ¹⁵ but that we might be established in our love; and that every thing in us might progress in the Messiah, who is the head: ¹⁶ and from him it is, the whole body is framed together and compacted by all the junctures, according to the gift that is imparted by measure to each member, for the growth of the body; that his edifice may be perfected in love. ¹⁷ And this I say, and testify in the Lord, that henceforth ye walk not as the other Gentiles, who walk in the vanity of their mind:

²⁴ and should put on the new man, that is created by God in righteousness and in the holiness of truth.

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed for the day of redemption.

¹ Be ye therefore imitators of God, as dear children: ² and walk in love; as the Messiah also hath loved us, and hath given up himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweet odor.

¹⁵ See therefore, that ye walk circumspectly; not like the simple,

²⁹ For no one ever hated his own body; but nourisheth it, and provideth for it, even as the Messiah the church. ³⁰ For we are members of his body and of his flesh, and of his bones.

³² This is a great mystery; but I am speaking of the Messiah, and of his church.

¹⁵ that ye may be perfect and without blemish, as the sincere children of God, who are resident in a perverse and crooked generation; and that ye may appear among them as luminaries in the world;

⁶ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; and as to the righteousness of the law, I was without fault. ⁷ But these things, which had been my excellence, I have accounted a detriment, because of the Messiah. ⁸ And now also I account them all a detriment, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus the Messiah my Lord; for the sake of whom, I have parted with all things, and have accounted them as dung, that I might gain the Messiah, ⁹ and be found in him; since my righteousness is not now that from the law, but that which is from faith in the Messiah, that is, the righteousness which is from God;

⁴ And this I say, lest any one should mislead you by the persuasiveness of words.

¹⁰ And in him ye are also complete, because he is the head of all principalities and authorities. ¹¹ And in him ye have been circumcised with a circumcision without hands, by casting off the flesh of sins, by a circumcision of the Messiah. ¹² And ye have been buried with him, by baptism; and by it ye have risen with him; while ye believed in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

¹⁷ which were shadows of the things then future; but the body is the Messiah.

¹⁹ and holdeth not the head, from which the whole body is framed and constructed, with joints and members, and groweth with the growth given of God.

¹⁰ and put ye on the new man, that is renewed in knowledge, after the likeness of his Creator; ¹¹ where there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision, neither Greek nor barbarian, neither bond nor free; but the Messiah is all, and in all.

⁸ when he will execute vengeance, with the burning of fire, on them that know not God, and on them that acknowledge not the gospel of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

⁹ For the coming of that evil One, is the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and with all the deceptiveness of iniquity, in them that perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth, by which they might have life. ¹¹ Therefore God will send upon them the operation of deception, that they may believe a lie; ¹² and that they all may be condemned, who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in iniquity.

⁸ Now, we know, that the law is a good thing, if a man conduct himself in it, according to the law, ⁹ he knowing that the law was not established for the righteous, but for the evil, and the rebellious, and the ungodly, and the sinful, and the perverse and for the impure, and for smiters of their fathers and smiters of their mothers, and for murderers,

⁴ who would have all men live, and be converted to the knowledge of the truth. ⁵ For God is one; and the mediator between God and men is one, namely the man Jesus the Messiah;

⁵ For God is one; and the mediator between God and men is one, namely the man Jesus the Messiah; ⁶ who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony that arrived in due time,

⁴ he is one that exalteth himself, while he knoweth nothing; and he languisheth in the search and inquiry about words, from which come envy, and contention, and railing, and evil surmising,

¹ PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah by the pleasure of God, according to the promise of life which is in Jesus the Messiah;

¹⁵ because from thy childhood, thou wast taught the holy books, which can make thee wise unto life, by faith in Jesus the Messiah. ¹⁶ All scripture that was written by the Spirit, is profitable for instruction, and for confutation, and for correction, and for erudition in righteousness; ¹⁷ that the man of God may become perfect, and complete for every good work.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might recover us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a new people, who are zealous in good works.

⁷ that we might be justified by his grace, and become heirs in the hope of eternal life.

¹⁴ Are they not all spirits of ministration, who are sent to minister on account of them that are to inherit life?

² For if the word uttered by the medium of angels was confirmed, and every one who heard it, and transgressed it, received a just retribution;

⁴ while God gave testimony concerning them, by signs and wonders, and by various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit, which were given according to his pleasure? ⁵ For to the angels he hath not subjected the world to come, of which we speak.

¹⁰ For it became him, by whom are all things, and on account of whom are all things, and who bringeth many sons unto his glory, to perfect the prince of their life by suffering. ¹¹ For he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one nature. Therefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren; ¹² as he saith, I will announce thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the assembly, I will praise thee. ¹³ And again, I will confide in him. And again, Behold me, and the children whom thou, God, hast given to me. ¹⁴ For because the children participated in flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, took part in the same; that, by his death, he might bring to naught him who held the dominion of death, namely Satan; ¹⁵ and might release them, who, through fear of death, are all their lives subject to bondage.

² For to us also is the announcement, as well as to them: but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not mingled with the faith of those who heard it.

⁹ And thus he was perfected and became the cause of eternal life to all them who obey him.

⁴ But they who have once descended to baptism, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit,

⁴ But they who have once descended to baptism, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God, and the power of the world to come, ⁶ cannot again sin, and a second time be renewed to repentance; or a second time crucify and insult the Son of God.

¹² and that ye faint not; but that ye be emulators of them who by faith and patience have become heirs of the promise. ¹³ For when God made the promise to Abraham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself;

¹³ For when God made the promise to Abraham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself;

¹³ For when God made the promise to Abraham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself; ¹⁴ and said: Blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

¹⁴ and said: Blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

¹⁴ and said: Blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. ¹⁵ And so he was patient, and obtained the promise.

¹⁵ And so he was patient, and obtained the promise.

¹⁵ And so he was patient, and obtained the promise. ¹⁶ For men swear by one greater than themselves: and in every controversy that occurs among them, the sure termination of it is by an oath.

¹⁶ For men swear by one greater than themselves: and in every controversy that occurs among them, the sure termination of it is by an oath. ¹⁷ Therefore, God, being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise, that his promising was irreversible, bound it up in an oath;

¹⁷ Therefore, God, being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise, that his promising was irreversible, bound it up in an oath;

¹⁷ Therefore, God, being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise, that his promising was irreversible, bound it up in an oath; ¹⁸ so that, by two things which change not, and in which God cannot lie, we, who have sought refuge in him, might have great consolation, and might hold fast the hope promised to us;

¹¹ If, therefore, perfection had been by means of the priesthood of the Levites, in which the law was enjoined on the people; why was another priest required, who should stand up after the likeness of Melchisedec? For it should have said, He shall be after the likeness of Aaron. ¹² But as there is a change in the priesthood, so also is there a change in the law. ¹³ For he of whom these things were spoken, was born of another tribe, of which no one ever ministered at the altar. ¹⁴ For it is manifest that our Lord arose from Judah, from a tribe of which Moses said nothing concerning a priesthood. ¹⁵ And moreover this is further manifest, from his saying that another priest will stand up, after the likeness of Melchisedec, ¹⁶ who was not according to the law of corporeal injunctions, but according to the energy of an indissoluble life. ¹⁷ For he testified of him: Thou art a priest for ever, after the likeness of Melchisedec. ¹⁸ And the change which was made in the first statute, was on account of its impotency, and because their was no utility in it.

¹⁸ And the change which was made in the first statute, was on account of its impotency, and because their was no utility in it. ¹⁹ For the law perfected nothing; but in the place of it there came in a hope, which is better than it, and by which we draw near to God.

²⁶ For, a priest like to him, was also suitable for us; one pure, and without evil and without stain; one separated from sins, and exalted higher than heaven; ²⁷ and who is not obliged, every day, like the Aaronic high priest, to first offer sacrifices for his own sins, and then for the people; for this he did once, by offering up himself.

³ For every high priest is established, to offer oblations and sacrifices; and therefore, it was proper that this one should also have something to offer. ⁴ And if he were on earth, he would not be a priest; because there are priests there, who offer oblations agreeably to the law: ⁵ namely they, who minister in the emblem and shadow of the things in heaven: as it was said to Moses, when he was about to build the tabernacle, See, and make every thing according to the pattern which was showed thee in the mount. ⁶ But now, Jesus the Messiah hath received a ministry which is better than that: as also the covenant, of which he is made the Mediator, is better, and is given with better promises than the former.

⁶ But now, Jesus the Messiah hath received a ministry which is better than that: as also the covenant, of which he is made the Mediator, is better, and is given with better promises than the former. ⁷ For, if the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place for this second one. ⁸ For he chideth them and saith: Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will complete with the family of the house of Israel, and with the family of the house of Judah, a new covenant; ⁹ not like the covenant which I gave to their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, and brought them out of the land of Egypt; and because they continued not in my covenant, I also rejected them, saith the Lord. ¹⁰ But this is the covenant which I will give to the family of the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my law in their minds, and inscribe it on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹¹ And one shall not teach his fellow-citizen, nor his brother, nor say: Know thou the Lord: because they shall all know me, from the youngest of them to the oldest. ¹² And I will forgive them their iniquity; and their sins will I remember no more. ¹³ In that he said a New Covenant, he made the first old; and that which is old and decaying, is near to dissolution.

² For in the first tabernacle which was erected, there was the candlestick, and the table and the bread of the presence; and this was called the Sanctuary.

⁸ And by this the Holy Spirit indicated, that the way to the holy places was not yet manifested, so long as the first tabernacle was standing: ⁹ and it was a symbol, for that time, during which oblation and sacrifices were offered that could not make perfect the conscience of him who offered them:

⁹ and it was a symbol, for that time, during which oblation and sacrifices were offered that could not make perfect the conscience of him who offered them: ¹⁰ but they consisted only in food and drink, and in the ablutions of divers things; which were carnal ordinances, and were set up until the time of a reformation.

¹⁰ but they consisted only in food and drink, and in the ablutions of divers things; which were carnal ordinances, and were set up until the time of a reformation. ¹¹ But the Messiah who came, was a High Priest of the good things which he wrought: and he entered into the great and perfect tabernacle, which was not made with hands and was not of these created things. ¹² And he did not enter with the blood of goats and calves; but with the blood of himself, he entered once into the sanctuary, and obtained eternal redemption.

¹² And he did not enter with the blood of goats and calves; but with the blood of himself, he entered once into the sanctuary, and obtained eternal redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of goats and calves, with the ashes of a heifer, was sprinkled upon them that were defiled, and sanctified them as to the purification of their flesh; ¹⁴ then how much more will the blood of the Messiah, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purge our conscience from dead works, so that we may serve the living God? ¹⁵ And for this reason he became the Mediator of the new covenant, that he might by his death be redemption, to them who had transgressed the first covenant; so that they, who are called to the eternal inheritance, might receive the promise.

¹⁵ And for this reason he became the Mediator of the new covenant, that he might by his death be redemption, to them who had transgressed the first covenant; so that they, who are called to the eternal inheritance, might receive the promise. ¹⁶ For where there is a testament, it indicateth the death of him who made it. ¹⁷ For it is valid, only of a deceased person; because it hath no use, so long as the maker of it liveth.

²⁶ otherwise, he must have suffered many times, since the commencement of the world; but now in the end of the world, he hath once offered himself in a self-sacrifice, to abolish sin.

²⁸ so also the Messiah was once offered; and, by himself, he immolated the sins of many: and a second time, without sins, will he appear for the life of them who expect him.

¹ For in the law there was a shadow of the good things to come; not the substance of the things themselves. Therefore, although the same sacrifices were every year offered, they could never perfect those who offered them. ² For, if they had perfected them, they would long ago have desisted from their offerings; because their conscience could no more disquiet them, who were once purified, on account of their sins. ³ But in those sacrifices, they every year recognized their sins. ⁴ For the blood of bulls and of goats cannot purge away sins.

⁴ For the blood of bulls and of goats cannot purge away sins. ⁵ Therefore, when entering the world, he said: In sacrifices and oblations, thou hast not had pleasure; but thou hast clothed me with a body.

⁵ Therefore, when entering the world, he said: In sacrifices and oblations, thou hast not had pleasure; but thou hast clothed me with a body. ⁶ And holocausts on account of sins, thou hast not asked.

⁶ And holocausts on account of sins, thou hast not asked. ⁷ Then I said: Behold I come, as it is written of me in the beginning of the books, to do thy pleasure, O God.

⁷ Then I said: Behold I come, as it is written of me in the beginning of the books, to do thy pleasure, O God. ⁸ He first said: Sacrifices and oblations and holocausts for sins, which were offered according to the law, thou desiredst not;

⁸ He first said: Sacrifices and oblations and holocausts for sins, which were offered according to the law, thou desiredst not; ⁹ and afterwards he said: Behold I come to do thy pleasure, O God: hereby, he abolished the former, that he might establish the latter.

⁹ and afterwards he said: Behold I come to do thy pleasure, O God: hereby, he abolished the former, that he might establish the latter. ¹⁰ For by this his pleasure, we are sanctified; through the offering of the body of Jesus the Messiah a single time.

¹⁰ For by this his pleasure, we are sanctified; through the offering of the body of Jesus the Messiah a single time. ¹¹ For every high priest who stood and ministered daily, offered again and again the same sacrifices, which never were sufficient to purge away sins. ¹² But this Priest offered one sacrifice for sins, and for ever sat down at the right hand of God; ¹³ and thenceforth waited, until his foes should be placed as a footstool under his feet. ¹⁴ For by one offering, he hath perfected for ever, them who are sanctified by him. ¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also testifieth to us, by saying: ¹⁶ This is the covenant which I will give them after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my law into their minds, and inscribe it on their hearts; ¹⁷ and their iniquity and their sins, I will not remember against them. ¹⁸ Now, where there is a remission of sins, there is no offering for sin demanded.

³² Therefore, recollect ye the former days, those in which ye received baptism, and endured a great conflict of sufferings, with reproach and affliction; ³³ and ye were a gazing stock, and also were the associates of persons who endured these things: ³⁴ and ye were grieved for those who were imprisoned; and ye cheerfully endured the plundering of your goods, because ye knew that ye had a possession in heaven, superior and not transitory. ³⁵ Therefore cast not away your assurance which is to have a great reward. ³⁶ For ye have need of patience; that ye may do the pleasure of God, and may receive the promise. ³⁷ Because, yet a little,and it is a very little time,when he that cometh, will come, and will not delay. ³⁸ Now the just by my faith, will live: but if he draw back, my soul will not have pleasure in him.

³⁸ Now the just by my faith, will live: but if he draw back, my soul will not have pleasure in him. ³⁹ But we are not of that drawing-back, which leadeth to perdition; but of that faith, which maketh us possess our soul.

⁷ By faith Noah, when he was told of things not seen, feared; and he made himself an ark, for the life of his household; whereby he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed, and departed to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance: and he departed, while he knew not whither he was going.

¹³ All these died in faith, and received not their promise; but they saw it afar off, and rejoiced in it; and they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

¹⁷ By faith Abraham, in his trial, offered up Isaac; and he laid on the altar his only son, whom he had received by promise. ¹⁸ For it had been said to him, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

¹⁸ For it had been said to him, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. ¹⁹ And he reasoned with himself, that God was able even to raise him from the dead: and therefore, in the similitude of a resurrection, he was restored to him.

³⁹ And all these, of whose faith there is testimony, received not the promise: ⁴⁰ because God had provided the aid for us; so that without us they should not be perfected.

² And let us look on Jesus, who hath become the commencement and the completion of our faith; who, on account of the joy there was for him, endured the cross, and surrendered himself to opprobrium; and is seated on the right hand of the throne of God.

²⁴ and to Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant; and to the sprinkling, of his blood, which speaketh better than that of Abel.

²³ And know ye, that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: and if he come soon, I, with him, shall see you.

⁵ Hear, my beloved brethren; hath not God chosen the poor of the world, but the rich in faith, to be heirs in the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?

⁹ but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin; and ye are convicted by the law, as transgressors of the law. ¹⁰ For he that shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one precept, is obnoxious to the whole law. ¹¹ For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. If then thou commit no adultery, but thou killest, thou hast become a transgressor of the law.

²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: Abraham believed in God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness, and he was called the Friend of God.

² For we all offend in many things. Whoever offendeth not in discourse, is a perfect man, who can also keep his whole body in subjection.

¹¹ And they searched for the time which the Spirit of the Messiah dwelling in them did show and testify, when the sufferings of the Messiah were to occur, and his subsequent glory. ¹² And it was revealed to them, in regard to all they were searching, that, not for themselves were they inquiring, but for us they were prophesying of those things, which are now manifested to you by means of the things we have announced to you, by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also desire to look into.

¹² And it was revealed to them, in regard to all they were searching, that, not for themselves were they inquiring, but for us they were prophesying of those things, which are now manifested to you by means of the things we have announced to you, by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also desire to look into.

¹⁸ since ye know, that neither with perishable silver, nor with gold, ye were redeemed from your vain doings, which ye had by tradition from your fathers; ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of that Lamb in which is no spot nor blemish, namely, the Messiah: ²⁰ who was predestined to this, before the foundation of the world; and was manifested at the termination of the times, for your sakes;

²⁰ who was predestined to this, before the foundation of the world; and was manifested at the termination of the times, for your sakes; ²¹ who, by means of him, have believed in God, who raised him from the dead and conferred glory on him; that your faith and hope might be in God, ²² while your minds became sanctified, by obedience to the truth; and ye be full of love, without respect of persons, so that ye love one another out of a pure and perfect heart;

²⁴ And he took away all our sins, and, in his body, lifted them to the cross; that we, when dead to sin, might live by his righteousness: for by his wounds, ye are healed.

¹⁸ For the Messiah also once died for our sins, the righteous for sinners; that he might bring you to God. And he died in body, but lived in spirit.

²¹ And ye also, by a like figure, are made alive by baptism, (not when ye wash your bodies from filth, but when ye confess God with a pure conscience,) and by the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah;

¹⁷ For it is the time when judgment will commence with the house of God: and if it commence with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?

⁴ wherein he hath given you very great and precious promises; that by them ye might become partakers of the nature of God, while ye flee from the corruptions of the lusts that are in the world.

¹⁸ For, while they utter astonishing vanity, they seduce, with obscene lusts of the flesh, them who have almost abandoned these that walk in error.

²⁰ For if, when they have escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah, they become again involved in the same, and are vanquished, their latter state is worse than the former. ²¹ For it would have been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, than after having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was delivered to them. ²² But the true proverb hath happened to them: the dog returneth to his vomit and the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

¹³ But we, according to his promise, expect new heavens, and a new earth, in which righteousness dwelleth.

⁸ And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all our iniquity. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not with us.

¹ My children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, the righteous. ² For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the world.

²⁵ And this is the promise, which he hath promised us, even life eternal.

¹ And ye see, how great is the love of the Father towards us, who hath called us sons, and made us such. Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it likewise knoweth him not. ² My beloved, now are we the sons of God; and hitherto, it hath not appeared what we are to be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be in his likeness, and we shall see him as he is.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus the Messiah, and that we love one another as he hath commanded us. ²⁴ And he that keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we understand that he abideth in us, from his Spirit which he hath given to us.

¹⁰ In this is love; it was not that we loved God, but that God loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us life eternal, and this life is in his Son. ¹² Every one that taketh hold of the Son, taketh hold of life; and every one that taketh not hold of the Son, hath not life. ¹³ These things have I written to you, that ye may know that ye have life eternal, ye who believe in the name of the Son of God.

⁸ Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not what ye have wrought; but that ye may be recompensed with a full reward.

¹⁹ These are they that separate themselves, sensual persons, not having the Spirit. ²⁰ But, my beloved, be ye built up anew, in your holy faith, through the Holy Spirit, while ye pray.

⁵ and from Jesus the Messiah, the Witness, the Faithful, the First-born of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth; who hath loved us, and released us from our sins by his blood;

²⁰ But I have a charge against thee, because thou sufferest thy woman Jezabel, who saith she is a prophetess, and teacheth, and seduceth my servants to whoredom, and to eating of the sacrifices of idols.

⁹ And they sung a new anthem, saying: Competent art thou, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

¹⁴ And I said to him: My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who came from great affliction; and they have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night, in his temple; and he who sitteth on the throne, will protect them:

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there were voices and thunders, which said: The kingdom of the world hath become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah; and he will reign for ever and ever.

⁸ And all that dwell on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, will worship him.

¹³ And he wrought great signs, even so as to make fire come down from heaven upon the earth, before men. ¹⁴ And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, to erect an image to the beast of prey who had the wound from a sword and recovered.

³ For all the nations have drunken of the wine of her wrath; and the kings of the earth have practised whoredom with her; and the merchants of the earth have been enriched by the abundance of her luxuries.

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