¹⁶ Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.

²⁵ So, disagreeing with one another, they took their departure, after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers,

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;

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.

¹² that is, that I may be edified among you, and you also, through each others faith, both yours and mine.

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."

⁷ everlasting life to those who by patient continuance in welldoing seek for glory, and honor, and incorruption;

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. 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, ²⁵ whom, in his blood, through faith, God hath set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, in order to manifest his righteousness, on account of his passing by, in his forbearance, the sins committed in former times; ²⁶ in order to manifest his righteousness at the present time, so that he may be righteous, and accept as righteous him who hath faith.

³ And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also, knowing that affliction produceth endurance, ⁴ and endurance proof [of faith], and proof [of faith giveth] hope;

¹ What shall we say then? Let us continue in sin, that grace may abound still more? ² God forbid! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer in it? ³ Are ye ignorant, that all of us who were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? ⁴ We then by this baptism into his death were buried with him; that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin;

¹¹ Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.

²⁵ But if we hope for that which we do not see, then do we with patience wait for it.

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.

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. ³¹ What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² He who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?

⁴ who are Israelites; whom God adopted as sons, whose was the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of the sanctuary, and the promises;

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

⁶ Having then gifts which dither according to the grace which hath been bestowed upon us, if we have prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

¹⁰ In brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in honor, give each other the preference. ¹¹ Be not backward in zeal; be fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.

¹¹ And this, since we know the time, that it is already high time for us to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we became believers.

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.

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. ¹⁵ But I have written to you, brethren, in a manner somewhat bold on some subjects, as putting you in mind, on account of the grace given me by God

⁷ so that ye come behind in no gift, while waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

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

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.

²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumblingblock, and to gentiles foolishness,

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;

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.

⁴ and my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power;

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.

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus, when you and my spirit with you are assembled together, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

¹ Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not ye my work in the Lord?

²⁵ And every one who contendeth in the games is temperate in all things; they, however, to obtain a perishable crown, but we, an imperishable.

¹ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 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. ³ And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing. ⁴ Love suffereth long, is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not herself, is not puffed up, ⁵ doth not behave herself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, maketh no account of an injury, ⁶ rejoiceth not at iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth, ⁷ beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 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.

²⁰ Brethren, do not become children in understanding; yet in malice be children, but in understanding be men.

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

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

²⁰ For as to all the promises of God, in him is yea, and in him amen, to the glory of God through us.

¹⁷ For we are not as the many, who adulterate the word of God; but as from sincerity, but as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

¹⁸ But we all with unveiled face beholding in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.

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, ⁴ in whom the God of this world blinded the understandings of the unbelieving, so that they cannot behold the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

⁴ in whom the God of this world blinded the understandings of the unbelieving, so that they cannot behold the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 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.

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.

¹³ But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke," we also believe, and therefore speak;

¹ For we know that, if our earthly tenthabitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens.

¹ For we know that, if our earthly tenthabitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. ² For while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven; ³ since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, we shall not be found naked. ⁴ For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened; inasmuch as we do not desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

⁸ and are well pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

¹³ For whether we were beside ourselves, it was for God; or whether we are in our sound mind, it is for you. 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. ¹⁶ So that we henceforth know no one according to the flesh; and if we have even known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer know him. 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.

²¹ Him, who knew not sin, he made sin for us, that we might become Gods righteousness in him.

⁴ but as Gods ministers recommending ourselves in all things, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

¹⁷ "Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not anything unclean;" "and I will receive you,

² that under a great trial of distress the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty increased the riches of their liberality;

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.

¹⁴ while with supplication for you they long after you on account of the exceeding grace of God to you.

³¹ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I am not lying.

⁹ and he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may abide upon me.

¹⁶ But be it so; I at least was not a charge to you; but yet, being crafty, I caught you with guile. ¹⁷ Did I make gain of you by any of those whom I have sent to you?

⁵ Try yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless ye are unapproved?

⁸ (for he who wrought for Peter in behalf of the apostleship to the circumcised, wrought also for me in behalf of the gentiles,)

¹⁶ But the promises were made to Abraham and "to his offspring." He doth not say, "and to offsprings," as speaking of many, but, as speaking of one, "and to thy offspring," which is Christ.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working by love.

¹³ For ye, brethren, were called to liberty; only use not your liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by your love serve one another.

²³ meekness, temperance; against such things as these there is no law.

⁸ for he that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

¹⁰ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

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, ¹⁹ and what the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, ²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead; and seated him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions, ²¹ far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come;

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

²⁰ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

¹ I exhort you, therefore, I the prisoner in the Lord, to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,

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,

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

¹⁴ that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and borne about by every wind of teaching, through the dishonest tricks of men, and their cunning in the wily arts of error;

²³ and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴ and that ye put on the new man, who was created according to God in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

⁷ Be not therefore partakers with them. ⁸ For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

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

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of the water in the word;

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment;

²⁹ for to you it was given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but in his behalf to suffer also;

⁵ Yea, let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

¹² So then, my beloved, as ye always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

¹ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; to write the same things to you, to me is not burdensome, and for you it is safe.

⁸ Nay more, I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, that I may gain Christ, 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;

²¹ who will transform the body of our humiliation so that it shall be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of the power with which he is able to subdue all things to himself.

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

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;

¹¹ endued with all power according to the might of his glory unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;

¹⁶ for in him were created all things, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things have been created through him and for him;

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

⁷ rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

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

¹⁴ and over all these things put on the robe of love, which is the bond of perfectness;

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;

³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and perseverance in the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before God our Father;

³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and perseverance in the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before God our Father; ⁴ since we know, brethren beloved of God, that he hath chosen you;

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

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Is it not even ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?

¹² and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all, even as we do in love toward you;

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;

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

⁹ But concerning brotherly love there is no need of writing to you; for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another; ¹⁰ for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, to abound in love still more;

¹⁵ See that none render evil for evil to any one; but ever follow that which is good, both toward one another and toward all.

³ We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as is fit, because your faith increaseth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each ether aboundeth; ⁴ so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God, for your constancy and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions which ye endure;

⁹ [he,] whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood,

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, that God chose you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth; ¹⁴ whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

⁵ And the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to perseverance in the cause of Christ.

⁴ nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than promote Gods dispensation which is in faith, [so I do now.]

⁹ knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

² for kings, and all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all godliness and propriety.

¹⁰ but, as becometh women professing godliness, with good works.

¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of godliness, in him who was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory.

⁶ If thou lay these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, with which thou art well acquainted. ⁷ But avoid the profane and old wives fables; and exercise thyself unto godliness.

⁷ But avoid the profane and old wives fables; and exercise thyself unto godliness. ⁸ For bodily exercise is profitable for little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

⁸ For bodily exercise is profitable for little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

¹³ and withal they learn to be idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

³ If any one teacheth other doctrine, and assenteth not to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

⁶ But godliness with contentment is great gain.

¹¹ But do thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

⁵ when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it dwelleth in thee also. ⁶ For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands;

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,

² and the things which thou didst hear from me before many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, such as will be able to teach others also.

¹⁹ Nevertheless Gods firm foundation standeth, having this seal, "The Lord knoweth them that are his;" and, "Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from iniquity."

⁵ having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. And from these turn away.

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.

⁶ For I am already about to be offered as a sacrifice, and the time of my departure is at hand.

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.

¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Christ Jesus, for the faith of Gods elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

⁴ to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

⁸ but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,

¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

² that aged men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

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.

¹⁴ And let those also who belong to us learn to practise good works for the necessary wants that arise, that they may not be unfruitful.

⁶ that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us, for Christ Jesus.

³ who being a brightness from his glory and an image of his being, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself accomplished a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

⁷ Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith: "Today, if ye hear his voice,

¹¹ But we earnestly desire that every one of you may show the same diligence with regard to the full assurance of your hope even to the end; ¹² that ye may not become slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and endurance inherit the promises.

¹⁵ And so, having endured with patience, he obtained the promised blessing.

¹⁷ Wherefore God, wishing more abundantly to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, confirmed it by an oath,

¹⁹ which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, and which entereth within the veil;

⁶ But now he hath obtained a more excellent ministry, in proportion as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been established upon better promises. ⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then a place would not have been sought for a second. ⁸ For finding fault with them, he saith: "Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant; ⁹ not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. ¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their mind, and on their hearts will I write them; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach every one his fellowcitizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. ¹² For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."

⁸ the Holy Spirit clearly showing this, that the way into the sanctuary hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing:

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who by his everlasting spirit offered himself without spot to God, purify your conscience from dead works, for the worship of the living God! ¹⁵ And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that, death having taken place for redemption from the transgressions under the first covenant, they who have been called may receive the everlasting inheritance which was promised.

¹⁵ Moreover the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us of this. For after he had said,

³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great struggle with sufferings;

³⁶ For ye have need of endurance; that, after ye have done the will of God, ye may receive what is promised.

⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it though dead he yet speaketh.

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

¹ Therefore let us also, being surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth easily beset us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us;

¹⁰ For they indeed for a few days chastened us, according as it seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

¹⁵ looking diligently, lest any one come short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and the many be thereby defiled;

¹ Let brotherly love continue.

³ Remember those in bonds, as bound with them; those in distress, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁹ Be not carried aside with various and strange teachings; for it is good that the heart be established with grace, not with meats, in which those who walked were not profited.

³ knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance.

³ knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance. ⁴ But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.

⁸ If indeed ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," ye do well.

¹⁴ What doth it profit, my brethren, if any one say that he hath faith, and have not works? Can his faith save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and one of you say to them, Depart in peace, be warmed and be filled, notwithstanding ye give them not the things needful for the body, what doth it profit? ¹⁷ So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself. ¹⁸ But some one will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. ¹⁹ Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well; the demons also believe, and tremble. ²⁰ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is idle? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father accepted as righteous through works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God. ²⁴ Ye see that by works a man is accounted as righteous, and not by faith only. ²⁵ And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot accounted as righteous through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

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; ³ ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

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. ⁹ Murmur not against each other, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the Judge standeth before the door. ¹⁰ Take, brethren, the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, for an example of affliction, and of patience.

¹ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 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.

⁵ who are guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time;

⁷ that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold which perisheth, but is tried with fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the manifestation of Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets sought earnestly and searched earnestly, who prophesied of the grace that was to come to you; ¹¹ searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when it testified beforehand the sufferings to come upon Christ, and the glories that were to follow;

¹⁵ but as he who called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conduct;

²² Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart, fervently;

⁷ To you therefore who believe, is the honor; but to the disobedient, "the stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the cornerstone,"

⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, that ye may show forth the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light;

¹⁷ Honor all men; love the brotherhood; fear God; honor the king.

²¹ For to this ye were called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps;

⁷ Dwell likewise, O husband, with thy wife according to knowledge, as with the weaker vessel, giving her honor as being heir with thee of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered. 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.

²¹ which in its antitype, baptism, is now saving you,not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the earnest seeking for a good conscience toward God,by the resurrection of Jesus Christ;

² that ye may no longer live the remaining time in the flesh after the lusts of men, but after the will of God. ³ For sufficient is the time past to have wrought the will of the gentiles, when ye walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, carousings, and abominable idolatries;

¹ The elders among you I exhort, who am a fellowelder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a sharer in the glory that is to be revealed;

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.

¹² By Silvanus, the faithful brother as I think, I have written to you in few words, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

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: ² Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.

² Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. ³ Seeing that his Divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness;

³ Seeing that his Divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness; ⁴ through which he hath given us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust;

⁴ through which he hath given us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust; ⁵ even for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge,

⁵ even for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge, ⁶ and to knowledge selfcontrol, and to selfcontrol endurance, and to endurance godliness, ⁷ and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. ⁸ For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye will never fall.

¹² Wherefore I shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you. ¹³ Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you; ¹⁴ knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared to me. ¹⁵ Moreover I shall endeavor that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to call these things to mind.

¹⁸ For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they allure in the lusts of the flesh, by dissolute ways, such as were in some measure escaping from those who live in error; ¹⁹ promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by the same is he also brought into bondage. ²⁰ For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is worse with them than the first.

²⁰ For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is worse with them than the first.

¹ This second letter, beloved, I now write to you, in both which I stir up your pure minds by putting you in remembrance;

³ knowing this first, that there will come in the last days open scoffers following their own lusts,

³ knowing this first, that there will come in the last days open scoffers following their own lusts, ⁴ and saying, Where is his promised coming? for, from the time when the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as then, and as they have continued from the beginning of the creation.

¹¹ Seeing that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in holy conduct and godliness,

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,

¹⁷ Do ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things beforehand, beware lest, being led away with the error of the lawless, ye fall from your own steadfastness. 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.

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we looked upon, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life, ² and the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and announce to you the everlasting life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us, 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.

⁹ He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in the darkness until now. ¹⁰ He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him; ¹¹ but he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him; ¹⁶ because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

²¹ I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

²⁵ And this is the promise which he himself promised us, even the life everlasting.

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.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren; he that loveth not abideth in death.

¹⁶ Herein we know love, in that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹⁹ And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him; ²⁰ because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have confidence toward God;

¹⁴ And we have seen and bear witness, that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

²¹ And this commandment we have from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.

¹⁰ He that believeth in the Son of God hath the witness within him; he that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed in the witness which God hath borne concerning his Son.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and everlasting life. ²¹ My children, keep yourselves from idols.

² for the sake of the truth which abideth in us, and will be with us for ever. ³ Grace, mercy, peace shall be with you from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

⁶ who bore witness of thy love before the church; whom if thou send forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, thou wilt do well.

¹ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, loved in God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ: ² Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you. ³ Beloved, while giving all diligence to write to you, I found it necessary to write to you concerning the common salvation, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.

⁵ But I wish to remind you as once knowing it all, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who believed not;

¹⁴ Yea, and against these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord cometh in the midst of his holy myriads,

¹⁷ But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be to you, and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;

⁷ Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

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.

² I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil men; and thou didst try those who say they are apostles, and are not, and didst find them liars;

²⁸ And I will give him the morning star.

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept my injunction of endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which is about to come upon the whole world, to try those who dwell upon the earth. ¹¹ I come quickly; hold fast that which thou hast, that no one may take thy crown.

¹⁷ Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten wealth, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art the wretched and the pitiable one, and poor, and blind, and naked,

²¹ He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit with me on my throne, even as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

¹⁰ and hast made them a kingdom and priests, and they reign on the earth.

¹⁰ If any one [leadeth] into captivity he shall go into captivity; if any one shall kill with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

¹² Here is the endurance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

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.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.

¹⁶ I Jesus sent my angel to testify these things to you for the churches. I am the shoot and the offspring of David, the bright morningstar.
