1 Corinthians Cross References - Noyes

¹ Paul, a called apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, ² to the church of God which is at Corinth, the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called, holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours; ³ grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I ever thank my God for you, on account of the grace of God bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in him ye were enriched in everything, in all utterance, and all knowledge, ⁶ as the testimony of Christ was established among you; ⁷ so that ye come behind in no gift, while waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁸ who will also make you steadfast to the end, so that ye may be without blame in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ But I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are dissensions among you. ¹² What I mean is this, that each of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ that no one may say that ye were baptized into my name. ¹⁶ And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; I am not aware that I baptized any one besides. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nought the discernment of the discerning." ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe; ²² since even Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek for wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumblingblock, and to gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For consider, brethren, who ye are that have been called; not many wise men after the fashion of the world, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the things which are strong; ²⁸ and the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are; ²⁹ that no flesh might glory before God. ³⁰ But from him it is that ye are in Christ Jesus, who from God was made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption; ³¹ that, according as it is written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

And he left them and went away.

⁴⁶ So he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick, at Capernaum. ⁴⁷ He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him, and asked him to go down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. ⁴⁸ Then Jesus said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. ⁴⁹ The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down before my child die. ⁵⁰ Jesus saith to him, Go; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and went away. ⁵¹ And as he was now going down, the servants met him, and brought word that his child was living. ⁵² Then he inquired of them the hour when he began to mend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. ⁵³ So the father knew that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son is living. And he himself believed, and his whole house.

⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. ⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life; and I will raise him up in the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live by reason of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live by reason of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this bread will live for ever. ⁵⁹ These things he said in a synagogue, while teaching in Capernaum. ⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This teaching is hard; who can listen to it? ⁶¹ Jesus therefore knew within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, and said to them, Doth this offend you? ⁶² What then if ye behold the Son of man ascending where he was before? ⁶³ It is the spirit which maketh alive; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words which I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him. ⁶⁵ And he said, For this cause I have told you, that no one can come to me, unless it hath been given him from the Father. ⁶⁶ From this time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit he cleanseth, that it may bear more fruit. ³ Ye are clean already, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it abide not in the vine, so neither can ye, unless ye abide in me.

⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it abide not in the vine, so neither can ye, unless ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for apart from me ye can do nothing.

⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for apart from me ye can do nothing. ⁶ If any one abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burned.

²¹ that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that thou didst send me. ²² And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one; ²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

³⁸ But Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized to the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁴⁷ praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were in the way of salvation.

¹¹ This is the stone which was set at nought by you the builders, which is become a cornerstone. ¹² And there is salvation in no other; for there is not another name under heaven, that hath been given among men, by which we must be saved. ¹³ And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having been with Jesus. ¹⁴ And seeing the man that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply. ¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, ¹⁶ saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a remarkable sign hath been wrought by them is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. ¹⁷ But that it spread no further among the people, let us strictly forbid them with threats to speak any longer in this name to any one. ¹⁸ And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹ But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye. ²⁰ For we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard. ²¹ So, having further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for that which had been done.

³² saying, "I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob." And Moses trembled and durst not behold. ³³ And the Lord said to him, "Loose the sandals from thy feet; for the place where thou standest is holy ground. ³⁴ I have surely seen the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them; and now, come, I will send thee into Egypt." ³⁵ This Moses, whom they denied, saying, "Who made thee a ruler and a judge?" this very man did God send both as a ruler and a redeemer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

³⁵ This Moses, whom they denied, saying, "Who made thee a ruler and a judge?" this very man did God send both as a ruler and a redeemer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

⁴⁸ And he commanded that they should be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to remain some days.

¹⁷ Since then God gave the like gift to them as to us, on believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?

²³ who, when he came, and saw the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all to cleave to the Lord with purpose of heart;

⁷ who was with the proconsul of the country, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.

¹² Then the proconsul, when he saw what had taken place, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

⁴¹ "Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish! for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will not believe, though one should plainly declare it to you."

⁹ and made no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.

¹⁸ And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, What doth this babbler mean to say? and others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of foreign gods; because he brought the glad tidings of Jesus and the resurrection. ¹⁹ And they took him and brought him to Mars hill, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest? ²⁰ For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean. ²¹ Now all the Athenians, and the strangers residing among them, spent their leisure for nothing else but to tell or to hear something new.

³² And when they heard of a resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but ethers said, We will hear thee again about this matter.

⁸ And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians upon hearing believed, and were baptized. ⁹ And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Be not afraid, but speak on, and be not silent; ¹⁰ for I am with thee, and no one shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city. ¹¹ And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

²¹ testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus.

²⁴ But I count life of no value to me, so that I may finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

²⁰ And they on hearing it glorified God; and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of believers there are among the Jews, and they are all zealots for the Law.

¹⁶ And now why dost thou delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.

¹⁸ and saw him saying to me, Make haste, and go quickly out of Jerusalem; for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

²¹ And he said to me, Depart; for I will send thee far hence to the gentiles.

¹¹ And the night following, the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage; for as thou hast borne witness concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

²⁴ And after some days, Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. ²⁵ And as he discoursed of righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix became alarmed, and answered, Go thy way for the present; and when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

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

¹⁸ to open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among the sanctified, by faith in me.

²³ And when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom he expounded, and earnestly testified, the kingdom of God, endeavoring to persuade them concerning Jesus both from the Law of Moses, and from the Prophets, from morning till evening.

¹ Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, set apart to preach the gospel of God,

⁴ and shown with power to be the Son of God as to his spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord; ⁵ through whom we received grace and the office of an apostle in behalf of his name, in order to produce obedience to the faith among all nations;

⁷ to all the beloved of God at Rome, called, holy: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ In the first place, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for to every believer, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, it is the power of God unto salvation. ¹⁷ For therein is revealed the righteousness which is of God from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

²⁰ For, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be without excuse. ²¹ Because though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful to him; but became perverse in their reasonings, and their senseless minds were darkened; ²² professing to be wise, they became fools,

²² professing to be wise, they became fools,

²⁸ And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do things which are shameful;

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the Law saith, it saith to those who are under the Law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become subject to condemnation before God.

²¹ But now, apart from the Law, the righteousness which is of God, to which the Law and the Prophets bear testimony, ²² even the righteousness which is of God through faith in Jesus Christ, hath been made manifest to all and for all believers. For there is no distinction.

²² even the righteousness which is of God through faith in Jesus Christ, hath been made manifest to all and for all believers. For there is no distinction. ²³ For all have sinned, and fail of obtaining the glory which cometh from God; ²⁴ being accepted as righteous freely, by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

²⁷ Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay; but by the law of faith.

² For if Abraham was accepted as righteous through works, he hath ground of boasting. But he hath no ground of boasting before God.

⁶ as David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man whom God accepteth as righteous without works:

¹⁷ (as it is written, "I have made thee a father of many nations") in the sight of that God whom he believed, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.

²⁵ who was delivered up on account of our trespasses, and raised from the dead that we might be accepted as righteous.

¹⁹ For as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of the one man will the many be made righteous.

²¹ that as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God that, though ye were the bondmen of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching which was delivered to you;

¹ There is then now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

⁹ But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any one hath to not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.

²³ and not only so, but even we ourselves also, though having the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption as sons, for the redemption of our body.

²⁸ We know moreover that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

²⁸ We know moreover that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. ²⁹ For he determined beforehand that those whom he foreknew should be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. ³⁰ And those whom he before appointed, he also called; and those whom he called, he also accepted as righteous; and those whom he accepted as righteous, he also glorified.

³⁰ And those whom he before appointed, he also called; and those whom he called, he also accepted as righteous; and those whom he accepted as righteous, he also glorified.

²⁴ whom he also called, even us, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the gentiles?

³² Why? Because they did not strive for it by faith, but as being by works. For they stumbled against the stone of stumbling; ³³ as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; and he that believeth in him shall not be put to shame."

¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for one and the same is Lord over all, rich to all that call upon him.

¹² But if their offence is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the gentiles, how much more will their fullness be?

¹⁷ And if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou, a wild olive, hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker with them of the root and fatness of the olivetree,

³³ O the depth of the riches, and of the wisdom, and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his purposes, and his ways past finding out!

³³ O the depth of the riches, and of the wisdom, and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his purposes, and his ways past finding out! ³⁴ For "who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been made his counselor?" ³⁵ or "who first gave to him, and shall receive a return?" ³⁶ For from him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

³⁶ For from him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, wellpleasing to God, which is your spiritual worship;

⁵ so we, though many, form one body in Christ, and each of us is a member of it in common with the rest.

¹⁶ Be of one mind among yourselves. Set not your minds on high things, but content yourselves with what is humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

⁴ Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? To his own lord he standeth or falleth; and he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.

⁸ For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Whether then we live or die, we are the Lords. ⁹ For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.

⁹ For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.

⁴ For whatever things were written aforetime, were written for our instruction; that we through the patience and the consolation of the Scriptures might have hope. ⁵ And may the God of patience and consolation grant that ye may be of the same mind one with another, according to Christ Jesus; ⁶ that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ But I myself am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye are even of yourselves full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

¹⁷ I have then ground for glorying in Christ Jesus in regard to the things pertaining m God.

¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and in the country around even to Illyricum, I have fully made known the gospel of Christ;

³⁰ But I beseech you, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love produced by the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in prayers to God for me;

⁷ Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

¹¹ Salute Herodion, my kinsman. Salute those of the family of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

¹⁷ But I exhort your brethren, to mark those who are causing divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned; and avoid them.

²³ Gaius my host, and the host of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the treasurer of the city saluteth you, and Quartus, the brother.

²⁵ Now to him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which for eternal ages was unrevealed,

² to the church of God which is at Corinth, the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called, holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours; ³ grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I ever thank my God for you, on account of the grace of God bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus;

⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁵ that no one may say that ye were baptized into my name.

¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nought the discernment of the discerning." ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe;

²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumblingblock, and to gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

²⁷ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the things which are strong; ²⁸ and the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are;

²⁸ and the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are; ²⁹ that no flesh might glory before God. ³⁰ But from him it is that ye are in Christ Jesus, who from God was made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption; ³¹ that, according as it is written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

¹ And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech, or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

¹ And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech, or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God. ² For I determined not to know anything while with you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

² For I determined not to know anything while with you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. ³ And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling; ⁴ and my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power;

⁴ and my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power; ⁵ that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

⁵ that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. ⁶ But we do speak wisdom among the perfect; not, however, the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought;

⁶ But we do speak wisdom among the perfect; not, however, the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought;

⁸ which none of the rulers of this world comprehended; for had they comprehended it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

¹³ which things we also speak, not in words taught by mans wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, connecting what is spiritual l with what is spiritual. ¹⁴ But the unspiritual man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them; because they are spiritually discerned.

³ for ye are yet unspiritual. For while there is among you rivalry and strife, are ye not unspiritual, and walking after the manner of men? ⁴ For while one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not [like common] men? ⁵ Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but ministers through whom ye believed, and that as the Lord gave to each? ⁶ I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the growth.

⁹ For we are Gods fellowlaborers; ye are Gods field, ye are Gods building.

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself; if any one thinketh himself wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written: "He that taketh the wise in their craftiness;"

¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written: "He that taketh the wise in their craftiness;" ²⁰ and again: "The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain." ²¹ So then let no one glory in men. For all things are yours; ²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come,all are yours; ²³ and ye are Christs, and Christ is Gods.

⁵ So then judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the purposes of mens hearts; and then shall every one have his praise from God. ⁶ And these things, brethren, I have transferred in a figure to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us ye may learn not to go beyond what is written, that no one of you may pride himself in one against another. ⁷ For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou that thou didst not receive? But if thou didst receive it, why dost thou boast, as if thou hadst not received it?

⁷ For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou that thou didst not receive? But if thou didst receive it, why dost thou boast, as if thou hadst not received it? ⁸ Already ye are full; already ye are rich; without us ye have become kings; and I would indeed ye were kings, that we also might reign with you. ⁹ For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles as lowest, as men sentenced to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. ¹⁰ We are fools for Christs sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are in honor, but we are despised.

¹⁶ I exhort you therefore, be ye imitators of me.

⁵ to deliver such a man over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. ⁶ Your glorying is not good. Know ye not, that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

¹ Doth any one of you, who hath a matter against another, dare to go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the holy? ² Or do ye not know, that the holy will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge in causes of the least importance? ³ Know ye not, that we shall pass judgment upon angels? How much more, concerning affairs of this life? ⁴ If then ye have any causes relating to this life, set them to judge who are of no repute in the church. ⁵ I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not one that will be able to judge between his brethren? ⁶ Nay, brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers. ⁷ Now therefore it is altogether an evil among you, that ye have suits against each other. Why do ye not rather submit to wrong? Why do ye not rather allow yourselves to be defrauded?

⁹ Know ye not, that wrongdoers shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were made holy, but ye were accepted as righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were made holy, but ye were accepted as righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹⁶ Know ye not, that he who is connected with a harlot is one body with her? "For the two," saith he, "shall become one flesh;" ¹⁷ but he that is connected with the Lord is one spirit with him.

¹⁹ Know ye not, that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God, and that ye are not your own? ²⁰ For ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

²⁹ But this I say, brethren, the time that remaineth is short; that both they that have wives may be as though they had none;

⁶ yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.

¹¹ For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth,the brother for whom Christ died!

¹ Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not ye my work in the Lord? ² If I am not an apostle to others, yet surely I am to you; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord.

⁵ Have we not a right to carry about with us a sister as a wife, as well as the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

² and were all baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

¹³ No temptation hath come upon you, but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to endure, but will with the temptation furnish also the way to escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? the loaf which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ?

¹⁸ For in the first place, when ye come together in assembly of the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it;

⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

¹⁰ to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another divers kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

¹⁸ But as it is, God set the members every one of them in the body, as it pleased him.

²⁵ that there might be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.

²⁷ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members individually. And

² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

⁸ Love never faileth; but whether there are prophesyings, they will come to an end; whether tongues, they will cease; whether knowledge, it will be done away.

⁵ I would that ye all spoke with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied; for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, unless he interpret, that the church may receive edification. ⁶ But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by teaching?

¹⁸ I thank God, I speak in an [unknown] tongue more than ye all;

²⁶ How is it then, brethren? When ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a lesson of instruction, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation; let all things be done for edification.

² by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the same word which I preached to you, unless ye believed in vain.

⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, one not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

⁵⁰ And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor doth corruption inherit incorruption.

⁵⁴ So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass that which is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." ⁵⁵ "Where, O death, is thy sting? Where, O death, is thy victory?" ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the Law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹² As regards Apollos, the brother, I urged him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come at this time; but he will come when he hath a convenient opportunity.

¹⁵ And I exhort you, brethren,ye know the family of Stephanas, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the holy,

¹⁷ I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part, they supplied;

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the holy who are in all Achaia: ² Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Fathers and the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ as also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your glorying, as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁸ But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yea and nay.

²¹ Now he who maketh us with you steadfast in Christ, and anointed us, is God;

¹⁴ But thanks be to God, who always exhibiteth us in triumph in Christ, and manifesteth through us the odor of the knowledge of him in every place. ¹⁵ For we are to God a sweet odor of Christ among those who are being saved, and those who are perishing; ¹⁶ to the latter we are the odor of death, producing death; and to the former the odor of life, producing life. And who is sufficient for these things?

² but have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every mans conscience in the sight of God. ³ But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to them that perish,

⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus sake. ⁶ For it is God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, that shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. ⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not of us;

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judged, that if one died for all, then all died; ¹⁵ and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for their sakes, and rose again.

¹⁷ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ¹⁸ And all things are from God, who reconciled us to himself by Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ seeing that in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ We then are ambassadors for Christ; as though God were exhorting you by us, in behalf of Christ we entreat you, Be reconciled to God.

²⁰ We then are ambassadors for Christ; as though God were exhorting you by us, in behalf of Christ we entreat you, Be reconciled to God. ²¹ Him, who knew not sin, he made sin for us, that we might become Gods righteousness in him.

¹ As fellowworkers, then, with him, we also exhort you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain;

⁷ But as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this exercise of liberality also.

⁶ But this there is to say: He that soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully.

¹¹ while ye are enriched in everything to all liberality, which worketh out through us thanksgiving to God;

¹ Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I, who present indeed am lowly among you, but am bold toward you when absent;

³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, ⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds,)

⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds,)

⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds,) ⁵ casting down reasonings, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing every purpose into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

¹⁰ For his letters, saith one, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

¹⁷ But "he that boasteth, let him boast in the Lord."

² For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy; for I espoused you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ;

⁴ For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye did not receive, or another gospel, which ye did not accept, well might ye bear with it. ⁵ For I suppose that I am in no respect behind the very foremost apostles. ⁶ And though I am rude in speech, yet I am not in knowledge; but this did we in every respect manifest to you in all things.

² I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago,whether in the body, I know not, or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth,such a one caught up even to the third heaven.

¹¹ I have become a fool; it is ye that compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the very foremost apostles, though I am nothing. ¹² Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you with all endurance, by signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. ¹³ For what is there in which ye were at disadvantage when compared with other churches, except that I myself was not a charge to you? Forgive me this wrong.

²⁰ For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and lest I too shall be found by you such as ye would not; lest there be wranglings, envying, wraths, rivalries, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;

⁴ For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live together with him by the power of God toward you.

¹¹ Finally, brethren, farewell! Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

¹ Paul, an apostle, not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead, ² and all the brethren that are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil world, according to the will of God our Father;

⁷ which is not another; only there are certain persons who are troubling you, and seeking to change entirely the gospel of Christ.

¹⁵ But when it pleased him who set me apart from my very birth, and called me through his grace,

¹⁵ But when it pleased him who set me apart from my very birth, and called me through his grace, ¹⁶ to reveal his Son within me, that I might publish the glad tidings of him among the gentiles, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

⁷ But on the contrary, when they saw that I was intrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, as Peter was with that to the circumcised, ⁸ (for he who wrought for Peter in behalf of the apostleship to the circumcised, wrought also for me in behalf of the gentiles,) ⁹ and when they knew the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcised;

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ, and no longer do I live, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

¹ O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you? before whose eyes Jesus Christ was plainly set forth among you crucified.

⁵ Doth he then who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by the preaching of faith?

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, "Cursed is every one that is hanged on a beam of wood,"

¹⁷ And what I mean is this; that a covenant that was before ratified by God, the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, cannot annul, so as to make void the promise;

¹² Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as ye are; ye injured me in nothing.

¹¹ But as for me, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then hath the cross ceased to be a stumblingblock.

¹⁵ But if ye bite and devour one another, beware lest ye be consumed by one another.

²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, rivalry, outbursts of wrath, cabals, divisions, factions,

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ meekness, temperance; against such things as these there is no law. ²⁴ And they who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts.

²⁶ Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

¹² As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, these are constraining you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. ¹³ For not even do they who become circumcised themselves keep the Law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. ¹⁴ But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

¹⁴ But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints who are [in Ephesus], and believers in Christ Jesus: ² Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly regions in Christ; ⁴ according as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him;

⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

¹⁰ in reference to the dispensation of the fullness of the times, to gather for himself into one all things in Christ, the things which are in the heavens, and the things on the earth; even in him,

¹⁴ which is a pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him;

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him; ¹⁸ the eyes of your mind being enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope belonging to his call of you, and what the riches of the glory of the inheritance which he hath given among the saints,

⁷ that he might show in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

⁹ not of works, lest any one should boast. ¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

²⁰ and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; ²¹ in whom all the building, fitly framed together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² in whom ye also are built together into a dwellingplace of God in the Spirit.

⁶ that the gentiles are fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers with us of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel;

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to make known among the gentiles the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of Christ, ⁹ to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery, which hath been hidden for ages in God, who created all things; ¹⁰ to the intent that now to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions might be known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,

¹⁰ to the intent that now to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions might be known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,

¹ I exhort you, therefore, I the prisoner in the Lord, to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called, ² with all humility and meekness, with longsuffering; bearing with one another in love, ³ endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ⁴ There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye were called in one hope of your calling; ⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. ⁷ But to each one of us was given the grace [which he hath] according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

¹¹ And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

³⁰ and grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye were sealed unto the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evilspeaking, be put away from you, with all malice; ³² and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

²⁰ giving thanks always for all things to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of the water in the word; ²⁷ that he himself might present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.

¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

⁶ being confident of this very thing, that he who began in you a good work, will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus;

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment; ¹⁰ so that ye may approve the things that are most excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence against the day of Christ,

²⁷ Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or remain absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,

¹ If then there is any exhortation in Christ, if any encouragement from love, if any partaking of the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, ² make my joy full, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, with union of soul cherishing one mind; ³ doing nothing in the spirit of faction, or in the spirit of vainglory, but in humility esteeming others as better than yourselves; ⁴ looking each of you not to his own interest, but each to the interest of others also.

⁹ Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.

¹⁴ Do all things without murmurings and doubts; ¹⁵ that ye may be blameless and pure, children of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom ye shine as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ holding forth the word of life, that I may have whereof to boast against the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, or labor in vain.

³ For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

⁹ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God upon faith;

¹⁶ Nevertheless, whereto we have reached, in that let us walk.

²⁰ For the country of which we are citizens is heaven, whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

²² All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesars household.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy the brother,

⁹ On this account we also, from the day we heard of it, cease not to pray for you, and to ask that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ that ye may walk worthily of the Lord so as to please him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

¹⁴ in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins;

²² in the body of his flesh through his death, to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable in his sight;

²⁴ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up instead that which is wanting of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh on behalf of his body, which is the church;

² that their hearts may be encouraged, they being knit together in love, and that they may attain to all the riches of a full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the mystery of God; ³ in which are stored up all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

³ in which are stored up all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

⁴ when Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then will ye also be manifested with him in glory.

¹⁰ and have put on the new man, who is renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him;

¹⁵ and let the peace of Christ, to which ye were called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be ye thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to God; ¹⁷ and whatever ye do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, the Father, through him.

³ praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for the sake of which I am also in bonds; ⁴ that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

¹ Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace.

⁵ because the gospel preached by us came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye well know what sort of persons we became among you for your sake.

¹⁰ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the coming wrath.

¹² that ye should walk in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you to his own kingdom and glory.

¹³ in order that he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.

¹ Furthermore then, brethren, we beseech you, and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye are walking, ye would abound still more; ² for ye know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

⁷ For God did not call us to live in uncleanness, but in purity.

¹³ and to esteem them very highly in love for their works sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

¹⁸ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

²³ And may the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved whole, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ Faithful is he who calleth you, who also will do it.

¹ Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

⁷ and to you the distressed rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be manifested from heaven, with the angels of his might,

¹⁰ when he shall come in that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all who believed; for our testimony to you was believed.

¹ Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being assembled together unto him,

¹⁰ and in all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹⁴ whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, our Father, who loved us, and gave us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, ¹⁷ encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.

³ But faithful is the Lord, who will establish you, and guard you from evil.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the command of God, our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, our hope,

¹² And I thank him who gave me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, that he accounted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, t

¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all; to which the testimony was to be borne in its own due times, ⁷ whereunto I was appointed a herald and an apostle, (I speak the truth, I lie not,) a teacher of the gentiles in faith and truth.

¹⁵ but if I should tarry long, that thou mayst know how thou oughtest to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

²¹ I charge thee before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudging, doing nothing with partiality.

⁴ he is puffed up with pride, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

¹⁴ that thou keep the commandment without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ which in his own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords,

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

⁸ Be not then ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship with me for the gospel through the power of God, ⁹ who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and the grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

²² But flee youthful lusts, and follow righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. ²³ But the foolish and ignorant questionings avoid, knowing that they gender quarrels; ²⁴ and a servant of the Lord must not quarrel, but be gentle to all, apt in teaching, patient of wrong, ²⁵ in meekness admonishing those that oppose themselves; if haply God may give them repentance to attain the full knowledge of the truth,

¹⁵ and that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All Scripture is inspired by God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for discipline in righteousness; ¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto every good work.

¹ I charge thee before God, and Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom;

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me at that day, and not to me only, but to all those who have loved his appearing.

² in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times,

¹³ looking for the blessed hope, and appearing of the glory of the great God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a people to be his own, zealous in good works.

⁴ I thank my God at all times, making mention of thee in my prayers,

⁹ yet for loves sake I beseech thee rather; being such a one as Paul an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus, ¹⁰ I beseech thee for my child, whom I begot in my bonds, Onesimus;

³ how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first was spoken through the Lord, and was confirmed to us through those who heard him, ⁴ God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his will?

¹¹ For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren;

¹⁷ Whence it was right for him to be in all respects made like to his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful highpriest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

¹ Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and highpriest of our profession, Jesus;

¹⁴ For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast our first confidence firm to the end.

¹² For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, both the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart;

¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us;

¹² not with the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, and obtained for us everlasting redemption.

²⁸ so also Christ having been once offered up to bear the sins of many, will appear the second time, without sin, for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.

¹⁰ And in this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

²³ let us hold fast the profession of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful who promised;

³⁶ For ye have need of endurance; that, after ye have done the will of God, ye may receive what is promised. ³⁷ For yet a very little while, and "he that is to come will come, and will not tarry.

¹¹ Through faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised.

¹² Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.

⁵ But if any one of you is wanting in wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him.

⁹ Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted; ¹⁰ but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away. ¹¹ For the sun rose with its burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also will the rich man fade away in his ways.

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

¹³ Who is wise and endued with knowledge among you P let him show out of a good course of conduct his works in meekness of wisdom.

¹³ Who is wise and endued with knowledge among you P let him show out of a good course of conduct his works in meekness of wisdom.

¹³ Who is wise and endued with knowledge among you P let him show out of a good course of conduct his works in meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter rivalry and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth.

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter rivalry and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom is not that which descendeth from above, but earthly, sensual, devilish.

¹⁵ This wisdom is not that which descendeth from above, but earthly, sensual, devilish. ¹⁶ For where there is rivalry and strife, there is confusion and every evil work.

¹⁶ For where there is rivalry and strife, there is confusion and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.

¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

¹ Whence are wars and whence are fightings among you? Are they not hence, from your lusts that war in your members? ² Ye lust, and have not; ye kill, and earnestly covet, and cannot obtain; ye fight and war. Ye have not, because ye ask not;

⁷ Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and is patient about it, until it hath received the early and latter rain. ⁸ Be ye also patient, establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

² chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you.

¹³ Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope undoubtingly for the grace that is to be brought to you at the manifestation of Jesus Christ;

¹⁵ but as he who called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conduct; ¹⁶ because it is written, "Ye shall be holy, for I am holy."

¹⁸ knowing that not with perishable things, silver or gold, were ye redeemed from your vain manner of life received by tradition from your fathers, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;

⁸ and "a stone of stumbling, and a rock to strike against;" even to those who stumble, being disobedient to the word; to which they were also appointed.

¹¹ Beloved, I exhort you, as sojourners and strangers, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

⁸ Finally, be, all of one mind, have fellow feeling, love as brethren, be compassionate, be humble; ⁹ not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, on the contrary, blessing the evildoer; because for this end ye were called, that ye might inherit blessing.

¹³ but, in so far as ye share in Christs sufferings, rejoice; that also at the manifestation of his glory ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.

⁴ and when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye will receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who called you to his everlasting glory in Christ Jesus, will, after ye have suffered a while, himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

¹ Symeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of our God, and the Saviour Jesus Christ:

¹⁶ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been made eyewitnesses of his majesty.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein will be burned up.

¹² looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat!

¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, be diligent that ye may be found without spot and blameless before him in peace,

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, both now and for ever.

³ that which we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁷ but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

² Beloved, now are we children of God, and it hath not yet been manifested what we shall be. We know that, when it shall be manifested, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.

¹³ Hereby we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and the Spirit is that which beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

¹¹ And this is the witness, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life. ¹³ These things have I written to you, that ye may know that ye who believe in the name of the Son of God have everlasting life.

¹ The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all that know the truth,

¹ The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth. ² Beloved, in all things I pray that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth. ³ For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bore witness to thy truth, as thou walkest in truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.

¹ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, loved in God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ:

²¹ keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

²⁴ But to him that is able to keep them from falling, and to present them faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, ²⁵ to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, is glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for ever. Amen.

² who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,of whatever he saw.

⁹ I John, your brother, and companion in the affliction and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus.

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed to God by thy blood men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

⁹ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain on account of the word of God, and on account of the testimony which they had borne;

¹¹ and they conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives, even to death.

¹⁷ And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God, and maintain the testimony to Jesus.

⁴ These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, a firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

¹⁷ for in one hour so great wealth is made desolate. And every pilot, and every one that saileth to any place, and mariners, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him; and he saith to me, See thou do it not; I am a fellowservant of thee, and of thy brethren who maintain the testimony to Jesus; worship God. For the testimony to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. ¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

¹⁶ And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
