Titus Cross References - Murdock

¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and a legate of Jesus the Messiah; according to the faith of the elect of God, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of God, ² concerning the hope of eternal life, which the veracious God promised before the times of the world; ³ and in due time he hath manifested his word, by means of our announcement, which was confided to me by the command of God our Life-giver; ⁴ to Titus, a real son after the common faith: Grace and peace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah, our Life-giver. ⁵ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou mightest regulate the things deficient, and establish elders in every city, as I directed thee: ⁶ him who is blameless, who is the husband of one wife, and hath believing children, who are no revellers, nor ungovernable in sensuality. ⁷ For an elder ought to be blameless, as the steward of God; and not be self-willed, nor irascible, nor excessive in wine, nor with hands swift to strike, nor a lover of base gains. ⁸ But he should be a lover of strangers, and a lover of good deeds, and be sober, upright, kind-hearted, and restraining himself from evil passions; ⁹ and studious of the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able by his wholesome teaching both to console, and to rebuke them that are contentious. ¹⁰ For many are unsubmissive, and their discourses vain; and they mislead the minds of people, especially such as are of the circumcision. ¹¹ The mouth of these ought to be stopped: they corrupt many families; and they teach what they ought not, for the sake of base gains. ¹² One of them, a prophet of their own, said, The Cretans are always mendacious, evil beasts, idle bellies. ¹³ And this testimony is true. Therefore chide them sharply; that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ and may not throw themselves into Jewish fables, and into the precepts of men who hate the truth. ¹⁵ For to the pure, every thing is pure; but to them who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their understanding is defiled, and their conscience. ¹⁶ And they profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him; and they are odious, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobates.

¹⁸ that thou knowest his good pleasure, and discernest obligations, because thou art instructed in the law; ¹⁹ and hast confidence in thyself, that thou art a guide to the blind, and a light to them who are in darkness, ²⁰ and an instructor of those lacking knowledge, and a preceptor to the young; and thou hast the appearance of knowledge and of verity in the law : ²¹ Thou therefore, who teachest others, teachest thou not thyself? And thou who teachest that men must not steal, dost thou steal? ²² And thou who sayest, Men must not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? And thou who contemnest idols, dost thou plunder the sanctuary? ²³ And thou who gloriest in the law, dost thou, by acting contrary to the law, insult God himself? ²⁴ For, the name of God, as it is written, is reviled among the Gentiles on your account.

¹⁸ For they who are such, do not serve our Lord Jesus Messiah, but their own belly: and by bland speeches and good wishes, they beguile the hearts of the simple.

²⁵ Now unto God, who is able to establish you,- (according to my gospel, which is proclaimed concerning Jesus Messiah; and according to the revelation of the mystery, which was hidden from the times that are past, ²⁶ but is at this time revealed, by means of the scriptures of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God, is made known to all the Gentiles, for the obedience of faith;)

¹ Let us be so accounted of by you, as the servants of Messiah, and the stewards of the mysteries of God. ² Now it is required of stewards, that each be found faithful.

¹² Every thing is in my power but every thing is not profitable to me. Every thing is in my power; but none of them shall have dominion over me. ¹³ Food is for the belly; and the belly is for food; but God will bring them both to naught. But the body is not for whoredom, but for our Lord; and our Lord for the body.

⁷ But there is not this knowledge in every man; for there are some, who, to the present time, in their conscience, eat it as an offering to idols; and because their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

³⁴ And let him who is hungry, eat at home; that ye may assemble, not for condemnation. And as to other things, I will give you directions when I come.

²⁴ But if ye should be all prophesying, and one unlearned or an unbeliever should come among you, he is explored by you all, and rebuked by you all;

⁴⁰ But let every thing be done with decency and regularity.

¹ PAUL a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the good pleasure of God; and Timothy a brother; to the church of God that is at Corinth, and to all the saints that are in all Achaia.

¹³ there was no quietude in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: and I took leave of them, and went into Macedonia.

¹³ Having therefore the same spirit of faith, (as it is written, I believed, therefore also have I spoken,) we also believe, and therefore speak;

⁴ But we, in all things, would show ourselves to be the ministers of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessity, in distresses, ⁵ in scourgings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in toil, in watching, in fasting; ⁶ by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by benignity, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned, ⁷ by the speaking of truth, by the energy of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left; ⁸ amid honor and dishonor, amid praise and contumely; as deceivers, and yet true;

⁶ But God who comforteth the depressed, comforted us by the arrival of Titus.

⁸ And although I made you sad by the epistle, I do not regret it, though I did regret it; for I see that that epistle, though for a time it made you sad, ⁹ yet it procured me joy, not because ye had sorrow, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance; for ye sorrowed in godly sorrow; so that ye received no detriment from us. ¹⁰ For, sorrowing on account of God, worketh a conversion of the soul which is not reversed, and a turning unto life: but the sorrowing of the world worketh death. ¹¹ For behold this same thing, that ye were distressed on account of God, what solicitude it wrought in you, and apologizing and indignation, and fear, and love, and zeal, and revenge? And in all things ye have shown, that ye are now pure in that matter. ¹² And it will be seen that I wrote to you, not for the sake of him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of him who received the wrong, only, but that your solicitude in respect to us might be known before God. ¹³ Wherefore we were comforted; and with our consolation, we were the more joyful for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all: ¹⁴ so that I was not ashamed of that in which I had gloried to him, respecting you; but as in every thing we spoke the truth to you, so also our glorying before Titus, is found to be in truth:

⁶ So that we requested Titus, that as he had begun, so he would perfect in you also the same beneficence.

¹⁶ But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus this solicitude for you.

²³ And therefore, if Titus be inquired about, he is my associate and assistant among you: or if our other brethren, they are the legates of the churches of the Messiah's glory.

¹⁰ As the truth of the Messiah is in me, this glorying shall not be made vain as to me in the regions of Achaia.

¹² But what I do, that also I will do; that I may cut off occasion, from them who seek occasion: so that in the thing wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 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.

¹⁸ I requested Titus, and with him I sent the brethren: did Titus pilfer any thing from you? Did we not walk in one spirit, and in the same steps?

¹⁰ Therefore, while absent, I write these things; lest when I come, I should act with rigor, according to the authority which my Lord hath given me for your edification, and not for your destruction.

⁶ I admire, how soon ye have turned from the Messiah, who called you by his grace, unto another gospel; ⁷ which doth not exist, except as there are some who would disquiet you, and are disposed to pervert the gospel of the Messiah. ⁸ But if we, or an angel from heaven, should announce to you differently from what we have announced to you, let him be accursed.

³ Also Titus, who was with me, and was a Gentile, was not compelled to be circumcised. ⁴ And in regard to the false brethren, who had crept in to spy out the liberty we have in Jesus the Messiah, in order to bring me under subjection;

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.

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;

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!

¹⁷ They are zealous towards you, yet not for good; but they wish to shut you up, that ye may be zealous towards them. ¹⁸ And it is a good thing to be zealous at all times in good things; and not merely when I am present with you. ¹⁹ Ye are my children, of whom I travail in birth again, till the Messiah be formed in you. ²⁰ And I could wish to be now with you, and to change the tone of my voice; because I am astonished at you. ²¹ Tell me, ye who desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

¹ Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty with which the Messiah hath made us free; and be not subjected again to the yoke of bondage. ² Behold, I Paul say to you, That if ye become circumcised, the Messiah is of no advantage to you. ³ And again, I testify to every one who becometh circumcised, that he is bound to fulfill the whole law. ⁴ Ye have renounced the Messiah, ye who seek justification by the law: and ye have apostatized from grace.

² Peace be with you, and grace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁰ in the dispensation of the fullness of times; that all things might again be made new in the Messiah, things in heaven and things on earth.

⁸ For it is by his grace we are rescued, through faith; and this is not of yourselves, but it is the gift of God:

¹⁷ And he came, and proclaimed peace to you afar off, and to those near:

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; 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,

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:

⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words; for it is on account of these things that the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness; but be ye filled with the spirit.

¹ PAUL and Timothy, servants of Jesus the Messiah, to all the saints that are in Jesus the Messiah at Philippi, with the elders and deacons.

¹³ so that my bonds, on account of the Messiah, are matter of notoriety in all the court, and to all others.

² Beware of dogs; beware of evil doers; beware of the clipped in flesh. ³ For we are the real circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Jesus the Messiah, and place no reliance on the flesh.

² to them who are at Colosse, the brethren, holy and believing in Jesus the Messiah: peace be with you, and grace from God our Father.

⁶ which is announced to you, as also to all the world; and which groweth and yieldeth fruits, as it doth also among you from the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in reality:

²³ provided ye continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and ye be not removed from the hope of the gospel; of which ye have heard, that it is proclaimed in all the creation beneath heaven; of which gospel I Paul am a minister.

²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which mystery is the Messiah; who in you is the hope of our glory;

² that their hearts may be comforted, and that they, by love, may come to all the riches of assurance, and to the understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father, and of the Messiah,

⁵ For though I am separated from you in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit; and I rejoice at beholding your good order, and the stability of your faith in the Messiah.

²² for these things perish in the using; and they are the commandments and doctrines of men.

⁴ but as we had been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who searcheth our hearts.

¹⁰ Ye are witnesses, and God also, how we preached to you the gospel of God, purely, and uprightly, and were blameless towards all them that believe:

¹⁵ the persons who slew our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and persecuted their own prophets and us; and they please not God, and are made hostile to all men;

⁸ But let us who are children of the day, be wakeful in mind, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and take the helmet of the hope of life.

¹⁴ And we entreat you, my brethren, that ye admonish the faulty, and encourage the faint-hearted, and bear the burdens of the weak, and be long suffering towards all men.

²¹ Explore every thing, and hold fast the good:

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. ¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always, on your account, my brethren beloved of our Lord, that God hath from the beginning chosen you unto life, through sanctification of the Spirit, and through faith in the truth. ¹⁴ For unto these it was, that God called you by our preaching; that ye might be the glory to our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ¹⁵ Therefore, my brethren, be established, and persevere in the precepts which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our epistle.

¹ PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the command of God our life-giver, and of the Messiah, Jesus our hope;

¹ PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the command of God our life-giver, and of the Messiah, Jesus our hope; ² to Timothy, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace, from God our Father, and the Messiah, Jesus our Lord. ³ When I was going into Macedonia, I requested thee to remain at Ephesus, and to charge certain persons not to teach different doctrines; ⁴ and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God.

⁴ and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God.

⁴ and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God. ⁵ Now the end of the command is love, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from true faith.

⁵ Now the end of the command is love, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from true faith. ⁶ But from these some have strayed, and have turned aside to vain words;

⁶ But from these some have strayed, and have turned aside to vain words; ⁷ because they wished to be teachers of the law, while they understood not what they speak, nor the thing about which they contend.

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, ¹⁰ and for whoremongers, and for copulators with males, and for the stealers of free people, and for liars, and for violators of oaths, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine, ¹¹ namely that of the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.

¹⁵ Faithful is the declaration, and worthy to be received, that Jesus the Messiah came into the world to give life to sinners, of whom I was the primary.

¹⁹ in faith and a good conscience; for they who have repudiated this, have become destitute of faith;

³ For this is good and acceptable before God our life-giver; 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; ⁶ who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony that arrived in due time, ⁷ of which I am constituted a herald and legate. I speak the truth, and do not lie, for I am the teacher of the Gentiles in the belief of the truth.

¹ It is a faithful saying, that if a man desireth the eldership, he desireth a good work. ² And an elder ought to be such, that no blame can be found in him; and he should be the husband of one wife, with a vigilant mind, and sober and regular in his habits, and affectionate to strangers, and instructive;

² And an elder ought to be such, that no blame can be found in him; and he should be the husband of one wife, with a vigilant mind, and sober and regular in his habits, and affectionate to strangers, and instructive;

² And an elder ought to be such, that no blame can be found in him; and he should be the husband of one wife, with a vigilant mind, and sober and regular in his habits, and affectionate to strangers, and instructive; ³ and not a transgressor in regard to wine, and whose hand is not swift to strike; but he should be humble, and not contentious, nor a lover of money;

³ and not a transgressor in regard to wine, and whose hand is not swift to strike; but he should be humble, and not contentious, nor a lover of money; ⁴ and one that guideth well his own house, and holdeth his children in subjection with all purity.

⁴ and one that guideth well his own house, and holdeth his children in subjection with all purity. ⁵ For if he knoweth not how to guide his own house well, how can he guide the church of God.

⁵ For if he knoweth not how to guide his own house well, how can he guide the church of God. ⁶ Neither let him be of recent discipleship; lest he be uplifted, and fall into the condemnation of Satan.

⁶ Neither let him be of recent discipleship; lest he be uplifted, and fall into the condemnation of Satan. ⁷ And there ought to be good testimony of him from those without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of Satan.

⁷ And there ought to be good testimony of him from those without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of Satan. ⁸ And so also the deacons should be pure, and not speak double, nor incline to much wine, nor love base gains; ⁹ but should hold the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. ¹⁰ And let them be first tried, and then let them serve, if they are without blame. ¹¹ So also should the wives be chaste and of vigilant minds; and they should be faithful in all things; and they should not be slanderers. ¹² Let the deacons be such as have each one wife and guide well their children and households.

¹² Let the deacons be such as have each one wife and guide well their children and households. ¹³ For they who serve well as deacons, procure for themselves a good degree, and much boldness in the faith of Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁶ and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in the flesh, and justified in the spirit, and seen by angels, and proclaimed among the Gentiles, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

² These will seduce, by a false appearance; and will utter a lie, and will be seared in their conscience; ³ and will forbid to marry; and will require abstinence from meats, which God hath created for use and for thankfulness, by them who believe and know the truth. ⁴ Because whatever is created by God is good; and there is nothing which should be rejected if it be received with thankfulness;

⁶ If thou shalt inculcate these things on thy brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus the Messiah, being educated in the language of the faith, and in the good doctrine which thou hast been taught.

⁹ This is a faithful saying, and worthy of reception. ¹⁰ For on this account, we toil and suffer reproach; because we trust in the living God, who is the life-giver of all men, especially of the believers.

¹² And let no one despise thy youth; but be thou a pattern for the believers, in speech, and in behavior, and in love, and in faith, and in purity.

⁸ But if any one careth not for them who are his own, and especially for them who are of the household of faith, he hath rejected the faith, and is worse than the unbelievers.

²⁰ Those who sin before all rebuke; that the rest of the people may fear.

³ But if there be any one, who teacheth a different doctrine, and doth not accede to the salutary words of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and to the doctrine of the fear of God,

³ But if there be any one, who teacheth a different doctrine, and doth not accede to the salutary words of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and to the doctrine of the fear of God, 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, ⁵ and the disputation of men, whose minds are corrupt and destitute of the truth, and who suppose that gain is godliness. But from these stand thou aloof.

⁵ and the disputation of men, whose minds are corrupt and destitute of the truth, and who suppose that gain is godliness. But from these stand thou aloof.

¹¹ But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, and rectitude, and faith, and love, and patience, and humility. ¹² And contend in the good contest of faith; and lay hold of life eternal, to which thou art called, and of which thou hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.

¹⁹ and that they lay up for themselves a good foundation for that which is future; that they may take hold of real life.

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; ² to Timothy a beloved son; grace, and mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

⁹ who hath vivified us, and called us with a holy calling; not according to our works, but according to his good pleasure, and his grace that was given us in Jesus the Messiah from time before the ages, ¹⁰ and is now made known by the appearing of our Vivifier, Jesus the Messiah; who hath abolished death, and hath made manifest life and immortality, by the gospel: ¹¹ of which I am constituted a herald and a legate, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

¹³ Let the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, abide with thee; with faith and love, in Jesus the Messiah.

² And the things thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these commit thou to faithful men, who are competent to teach others also.

¹⁰ Therefore I endure every thing, for the elect's sake; that they also may obtain life, in Jesus the Messiah, with eternal glory.

¹³ And if we shall have not believed in him, he abideth in his fidelity; for he cannot reject himself.

¹⁵ And study to present thyself before God, perfectly, a laborer who is not ashamed, one who correctly announceth the word of truth.

²² Fly from all the lusts of youth; and follow after righteousness, and faith, and love, and peace, with them that invoke our Lord with a pure heart. ²³ Avoid those foolish discussions which afford no instruction; for thou knowest, that they generate contests. ²⁴ And a servant of our Lord ought not to contend, but to be mild towards every one, and instructive, and patient; ²⁵ that with mildness he may enlighten those who dispute against him, if perhaps God may give them repentance, and they may acknowledge the truth,

²⁵ that with mildness he may enlighten those who dispute against him, if perhaps God may give them repentance, and they may acknowledge the truth,

³ calumniators, addicted to concupiscence, ferocious, haters of the good,

⁵ having a form of respect for God, but wide from the power of God. Them who are such, repel from thee. ⁶ For of them are they who creep into this and that house, and captivate the women who are plunged in sins and led away by divers lusts,

⁶ For of them are they who creep into this and that house, and captivate the women who are plunged in sins and led away by divers lusts, ⁷ who are always learning, and can never come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁸ Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these withstand the truth: men whose mind is corrupted, and they reprobates from the faith.

¹³ But evil and seducing men will add to their wickedness, while they deceive and are deceived.

² Proclaim the word; and persist in it with diligence, in time and out of time; admonish, and rebuke, with all patience and instructiveness. ³ For the time will come, when they will not give ear to sound teaching; but, according to their lusts, will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing; ⁴ and will turn away their ears from the truth, and incline after fables.

³ and in due time he hath manifested his word, by means of our announcement, which was confided to me by the command of God our Life-giver;

⁵ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou mightest regulate the things deficient, and establish elders in every city, as I directed thee: ⁶ him who is blameless, who is the husband of one wife, and hath believing children, who are no revellers, nor ungovernable in sensuality. ⁷ For an elder ought to be blameless, as the steward of God; and not be self-willed, nor irascible, nor excessive in wine, nor with hands swift to strike, nor a lover of base gains.

⁷ For an elder ought to be blameless, as the steward of God; and not be self-willed, nor irascible, nor excessive in wine, nor with hands swift to strike, nor a lover of base gains. ⁸ But he should be a lover of strangers, and a lover of good deeds, and be sober, upright, kind-hearted, and restraining himself from evil passions; ⁹ and studious of the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able by his wholesome teaching both to console, and to rebuke them that are contentious. ¹⁰ For many are unsubmissive, and their discourses vain; and they mislead the minds of people, especially such as are of the circumcision. ¹¹ The mouth of these ought to be stopped: they corrupt many families; and they teach what they ought not, for the sake of base gains.

¹ But speak thou the things that belong to wholesome doctrine. ² And teach the older men to be watchful in their minds, and to be sober, and to be pure, and to be sound in the faith, and in love and in patience. ³ And so also the elder women, that they be in behavior as becometh the fear of God; and not to be slanderers; and not to be addicted to much wine; and to be inculcators of good things,

⁷ And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful,

⁷ And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful, ⁸ such as is sober and uncorrupt; and let no one despise it: so that he who riseth up against us, may be ashamed, seeing he can say nothing odious against us.

¹⁰ but let them manifest that their fidelity, in all respects, is good: so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Life-giver, in all things. ¹¹ For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed to all men; ¹² and it teacheth us, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world in sobriety, and in uprightness, and in the fear of God, ¹³ looking for the blessed hope, and the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the Messiah;

¹⁵ These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.

⁴ But when the kindness and compassion of God our Life-giver was revealed, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy, he vivified us, by the washing of the new birth, and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, by Jesus the Messiah our Life-giver: ⁷ that we might be justified by his grace, and become heirs in the hope of eternal life.

¹⁰ An heretical man, after thou hast instructed him once and again, avoid:

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;

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?

²² Let us, therefore draw near, with a true heart, and with the confidence of faith, being sprinkled as to our hearts, and pure from an evil conscience, and our body being washed with pure water.

²⁵ Beware, therefore, lest ye refuse to hear him who speaketh with you. For if they escaped not, who refused to hear him who spake with them on the earth, how much more shall we not, if we refuse to hear him who speaketh with us from heaven?

¹⁹ And be ye, my beloved brethren, every one of you, swift to hear, and slow to speak; and slow to wrath: ²⁰ for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

²⁶ And if any one thinketh that he worshippeth God, and doth not restrain his tongue, but his heart deceiveth him; his worship is vain.

³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life, ⁴ and to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is prepared for you in heaven;

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; ²³ like persons born again, not of seed that perisheth, but of that which doth not perish, by the living word of God, who abideth for ever.

¹⁰ And let each of you minister to his associates the gift which he hath received from God; as being good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

² Feed ye the flock of God which is committed to you: have care for it, spiritually; not from compulsion, but voluntarily; not for base gain, but with all your heart;

¹ SIMON PETER, a servant and legate of Jesus the Messiah, to those who have obtained equally precious faith with us, through the righteousness of Our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus the Messiah;

³ as the giver to us of all things that be of the power of God, unto life and the fear of God, through the recognition of him who hath called us unto his own glory and moral excellence:

¹¹ For thus will entrance be given you abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah.

¹ But in the world, there have been also false prophets, as there will likewise be false teachers among you, who will bring in destructive heresies, denying the Lord that bought them; thus bringing on themselves swift destruction.

¹ But in the world, there have been also false prophets, as there will likewise be false teachers among you, who will bring in destructive heresies, denying the Lord that bought them; thus bringing on themselves swift destruction. ² And many will go after their profaneness; on account of whom, the way of truth will be reproached.

² And many will go after their profaneness; on account of whom, the way of truth will be reproached. ³ And, in the cupidity of raving words, they will make merchandise of you: whose judgment, of a long time, is not idle; and their destruction slumbereth not.

¹⁰ and especially them who go after the flesh in the lusts of pollution, and despise government. Daring and arrogant, they shudder not with awe while they blaspheme;

¹² But these, like the dumb beasts that by nature are for slaughter and corruption, while reviling the things they know not, will perish in their own corruption;

¹⁵ and, having left the way of rectitude, they have wandered and gone in the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of iniquity,

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.

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.

² that ye may be mindful of the words which were formerly spoken by the holy prophets, and of the injunction of our Lord and Redeemer by the hand of the legates:

¹¹ As therefore all these things are to be dissolved, what persons ought ye to be, in holy conduct, and in the fear of God,

¹⁸ But be ye growing in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah, and of God the Father: whose is the glory, now, and always, and to the days of eternity. Amen.

⁴ For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

¹⁸ My children, it is the latter time; and as ye have heard that a false Messiah was to arise, so there are now many false Messiahs; and from this we know that it is the latter time.

²³ And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth also the Father.

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

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. ³ And every one that hath this hope from him, purifieth himself, as he is pure.

¹⁴ We know that we have turned from death unto life, by this, that we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, remaineth in death.

¹ My beloved, believe not all spirits; but discriminate among spirits, whether they are of God: for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

¹ Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God. And whoever loveth the begetter, loveth him also that is begotten of him.

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. ¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have towards him, that whatever we ask of him, agreeably to his will, he heareth us.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us knowledge that we might know the True One; and that we might be in the True One, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. He is the true God, and the life eternal.

³ My beloved, while I take all pains to write to you of our common life, it is needful for me to write to you, exhorting you to maintain a conflict for the faith which was once delivered to the saints. ⁴ For some have obtained entrance, who from the beginning were registered beforehand under this condemnation: wicked men, who pervert the grace of God to impurity, and deny him who is the only Lord God and our Lord, Jesus the Messiah.

⁸ In the same manner, too, these sensual dreamers defile the flesh and despise authority, and revile excellency. ⁹ But Michael the archangel, who, in debate with the Accuser, contended about the body of Moses, did not venture to bring against him a reviling declaration; but said, The Lord will rebuke thee. ¹⁰ But these men revile things which they do not understand; and in the things of which they have a natural persuasion as animal beings, in these they corrupt themselves. ¹¹ Woe to them; for they have gone in the way of Cain; and, after the error of Balaam, they have lusted for gain; and, in the rebellion of Korah, they have perished. ¹² These are they who, in their feastings, riot while polluting themselves, feeding themselves without fear; clouds without rain, moved about by the winds; trees whose fruit hath failed, and they are without fruit, twice dead, and uplifted from their root; ¹³ raging waves of the sea, which, by their foam, manifest their confusion; shootingstars, for which is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

²¹ And let us keep ourselves in the love of God, while we wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus the Messiah unto our eternal life.

⁶ But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

¹⁴ Yet I have a small charge against thee. Thou hast there them who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, that they might eat the sacrifices of idols, and might commit whoredom.

²⁵ but, what ye have, hold fast until I come.

³ Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard; and observe those precepts, and repent. If then thou wilt not wake up, I will come upon thee as a thief; and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come upon thee.

¹¹ I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, so that no one take thy crown.

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.

¹⁶ And he thrust his sickle over the earth; and the earth was reaped.

⁸ The beast of prey which thou sawest, was, and is not; and he will ascend from the abyss and go into perdition: and the dwellers on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast of prey, which was, and is not, and approacheth.

⁸ But to the timid, and the unbelieving, and to the sinful, and polluted, and to manslayers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and to all false persons, their portion shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.

²⁷ And there shall not enter it, any thing polluted, or that practiseth impurity and falsehood; but they who are registered in the Lamb's book of life.
