Salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruit gathered from Asia for Christ. ⁶ Salute Mary, who labored much for us. ⁷ Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. ⁸ Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. ⁹ Salute Urbanus, our fellowlaborer in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved. ¹⁰ Salute Apelles, the approved in Christ. Salute those who belong to the family of Aristobulus. ¹¹ Salute Herodion, my kinsman. Salute those of the family of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. ¹² Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord.

All the churches of Christ salute you. 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. ¹⁸ For such men are not servants of our Lord Christ, but of their own appetites; and by good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple.

²⁰ And the God of peace will soon beat down Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ²¹ Timothy, my fellowlaborer, salutes you, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater my kinsmen. ²² I Tertius, who wrote this letter, salute you in the Lord. ²³ Gaius my host, and the host of the whole church, saluteth you.

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.

²⁷ to God, the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever! Amen.

¹ Let a man so account us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. ² Here moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

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. ¹¹ Even to this very hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace, ¹² and labor, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it; ¹³ being slandered, we exhort; we have become as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

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

⁷ Cleanse out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened; for our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ. ⁸ So then let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

¹¹ But this is what I wrote you, not to keep company with any one called a brother, if he be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not even to eat.

¹³ But those who are without, God will judge. Do ye put away that bad man from among yourselves.

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.

¹³ Meats are for the stomach, and the stomach for meats; but God will make an end of both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body; ¹⁴ and God both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his power.

² but on account of the commonness of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and every woman her own husband. ³ Let the husband render to his wife her due; and so also the wife to her husband. ⁴ The wife hath not the disposal of her own body, but her husband; and so also the husband hath not the disposal of his own body, but his wife. ⁵ Defraud not one another, except by agreement for a time, that ye may have a season for prayer; and be together again, that Satan may not tempt you through your incontinence. ⁶ But I say this by way of permission, not command. ⁷ I would that all men were as I myself; but every one hath his own gift from God, one man this, and another that. ⁸ I say also to the unmarried and the widows, it is good for them to remain as I am; ⁹ but if they cannot control themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn. ¹⁰ But to those who are married it is my command, yet not mine, but the Lords: Let not the wife separate herself from her husband, ¹¹ and if she have separated herself let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband; and let not the husband put away his wife. ¹² But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she be satisfied to dwell with him, let him not put her away; ¹³ and if a wife hath an unbelieving husband, and he be satisfied to dwell with her, let her not put her husband away. ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband hath been made holy by his wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been made holy by the brother; otherwise were your children unclean, but, as it is, they are holy. ¹⁵ But if the unbelieving separateth himself, let him separate himself; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God hath called you to be in peace. ¹⁶ For how dost thou know, O wife, but that thou mayst save thy husband? or how dost thou know, O husband, but that thou mayst save thy wife?

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;

³⁸ So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; and he that doth not give her in marriage doeth better.

⁸ But food will not recommend us to God; if we do not eat, we are not the worse; nor if we do eat, are we the better.

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?

¹³ Do ye not know, that they who minister in the offerings of the temple live from the temple? that they who serve at the altar share with the altar?

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.

¹⁷ For we, the many, are one loaf, one body; for we all share in that one loaf. ¹⁸ Look at Israel by natural descent. Have not those who eat of the sacrifices, communion with the altar?

²⁰ Nay, but that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I would not that ye should have communion with demons.

¹ Follow my example, as I do that of Christ.

²⁶ And so if one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

³³ for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

¹⁵ And we are also found false witnesses concerning God; because we testified concerning God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise up, if so be that the dead rise not.

¹⁶ that ye submit yourselves to such as they are, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboreth.

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:

¹² For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and the sincerity which is of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

¹⁹ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us, by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not found yea and nay, but in him hath been found yea.

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

¹⁴ knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise up us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh out for us, in a higher and still higher degree, an everlasting weight of glory;

¹⁰ For we must all be made manifest before the judgmentseat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he did, whether good or bad.

¹⁰ For we must all be made manifest before the judgmentseat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he did, whether good or bad. ¹¹ Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but to God we have been made manifest, and I hope have been made manifest in your consciences also.

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.

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

⁸ And God is able to make every blessing abound toward you, that ye, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work;

¹² for the ministration of this service not only supplieth the wants of the saints, but also overfloweth through many thanksgivings to God; ¹³ while by the proof afforded by this ministration they glorify God for your obedience to your profession in regard to the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution in regard to them and in regard to all;

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;

¹¹ Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth! ¹² But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off occasion from those who wish for an occasion, in order that in the matter of which they boast they may be found even as we. ¹³ For such are false apostles, deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder; for even Satan transformeth himself into an angel of light. ¹⁵ It is no great thing, then, if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

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.

¹³ All the saints salute 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,

⁵ to whom be the glory for ever and ever! Amen. ⁶ I marvel that ye are so soon turning from him that called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel; ⁷ which is not another; only there are certain persons who are troubling you, and seeking to change entirely the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel to you contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed! ⁹ As we have said before, so I now say again, If any one preach a gospel to you contrary to that which ye received, let him be accursed!

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.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest; such as fornication, uncleanness, wantonness,

²¹ envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also told you in time past, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

¹ Brethren, even if a man be detected in a fault, do ye who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

¹ Brethren, even if a man be detected in a fault, do ye who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. ² Bear ye one anothers burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ.

⁶ Let him that is taught in the word share with the teacher in all good things.

¹⁰ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. ¹¹ See in what large letters I have written to you with my own hand.

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,

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

¹⁸ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹ So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but are fellowcitizens with the saints, and members of the household of God,

¹² in whom we have our boldness and our access in confidence, through faith in him.

¹⁶ that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; ¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, ye having been rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ that ye may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God.

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

³ endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

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;

²⁸ Let him that stealeth steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands at that which is good, that he may have to give to him that is in need.

² and walk in love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you an offering and a sacrifice to God, of a sweet odor. ³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints,

⁵ For of this ye are sure, since ye know that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words; for because of these things the wrath of God cometh upon the sons of disobedience.

¹⁹ speaking to one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; ²⁰ giving thanks always for all things to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.

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

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, ²⁰ in behalf of which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may proclaim it boldly, as I ought to speak.

²⁴ Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an incorruptible love.

¹ Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, together with the bishops and deacons:

⁴ always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy

¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

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;

¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father. 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; ¹³ for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

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.

²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such in honor;

¹⁷ Brethren, be ye followers together of me, and mark those who walk as ye have us for an example. ¹⁸ For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ;

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

¹ Therefore, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

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 The things which ye learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me, these do; and the God of peace will be with you.

¹¹ Not that I speak on account of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content. ¹² I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound; in every thing and in all things I have been well taught, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want; ¹³ I can do all things in him who strengtheneth me. ¹⁴ Notwithstanding, ye did well in sharing with me in my distress.

¹⁴ Notwithstanding, ye did well in sharing with me in my distress. ¹⁵ And ye yourselves also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I went forth from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in an account of giving and receiving, but ye only; ¹⁶ for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again to my necessity. ¹⁷ Not that I seek for such a gift, but I do seek for fruit that may abound to your account. ¹⁸ But I have all, and abound; I am full, having received from Epaphroditus what was sent from you, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

¹⁸ But I have all, and abound; I am full, having received from Epaphroditus what was sent from you, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. ¹⁹ But my God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory, in Christ Jesus.

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

² to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colossae: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father.

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; ¹¹ endued with all power according to the might of his glory unto all patience and longsuffering with joy; ¹² giving thanks to the Father, who enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light;

¹² giving thanks to the Father, who enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light;

⁴ And this I say, that no one may impose on you by specious discourses.

⁷ rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. ⁸ Beware lest there be some one who shall make a prey of you through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ.

¹² having been buried with him in your baptism; in which also ye were raised to life with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead;

¹⁶ Let no one then call you to account about food or drink, or a feastday, or a new moon, or sabbaths; ¹⁷ which are a shadow of the things to come, but the body is Christs. ¹⁸ Let no one defraud you of the prize, desiring to do it in humiliation and worshipping of the angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, puffed up without reason by the mind of his own flesh, ¹⁹ and not holding fast the Head, from which the whole body, supported and compacted by means of the joints and ligaments, groweth with an increase wrought by God. ²⁰ If ye died with Christ to the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances, such as,

¹ If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting on the right hand of God. ² Set your mind on the things above, not on things on the earth. ³ For ye died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God;

⁵ Make dead therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

⁵ Make dead therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; ⁶ on account of which things cometh the wrath of God.

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.

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.

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things; for this is wellpleasing in the Lord.

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;

¹² Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

¹⁸ The salutation by the hand of me, Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.

⁶ And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy from the Holy Spirit;

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

¹³ And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received the word of God which ye heard from us, ye received it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also is powerfully working in you that believe.

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? ²⁰ For ye are our glory and joy.

² and sent Timothy, our brother and a fellowlaborer with God in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to encourage you in your faith,

⁹ For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice for your sakes before our God; ¹⁰ night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may supply that which is lacking in your faith?

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.

³ For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication;

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;

¹² that ye may walk becomingly toward those without, and may have need of nothing.

¹² And we beseech you, brethren, to know those who labor among you, and preside over you in the Lord, and admonish you, ¹³ and to esteem them very highly in love for their works sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

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.

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.

²⁵ Brethren, pray for us.

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;

² that ye be not easily shaken in mind, nor troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as if the day of the Lord were close at hand.

¹⁷ encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.

¹ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, as with you,

⁷ For ye yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us; for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you,

⁹ Not because we have not authority, but to make ourselves an example to you, that ye should imitate us.

¹³ But ye, brethren, be not weary in welldoing. ¹⁴ And if any one obey not our word by this epistle, mark that man; and keep no company with him, that he may be shamed;

¹⁶ Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in every way; the Lord be with you all.

⁵ Now the end of the commandment is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned;

¹⁷ Now to the King eternal, the imperishable, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

² A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, discreet, orderly, hospitable, apt in teaching; ³ not given to wine, not a striker, but forbearing, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money; ⁴ presiding well over his own house, having his children in subjection with all propriety; ⁵ for if a man knoweth not how to preside over his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God

¹² Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

¹ Now the Spirit saith expressly, that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons, ² through the hypocrisy of speakers of lies, who bear a brand on their own conscience, ³ forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from food which God created to be received with thanksgiving, for those who believe and know the truth.

³ forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from food which God created to be received with thanksgiving, for those who believe and know the truth. ⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving; ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

¹⁰ well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

¹⁴ I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, guide the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

¹⁷ Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor; especially they who labor in the word and in teaching.

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, 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, ⁵ incessant disputings of men corrupted in their minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that godliness is gain. ⁶ But godliness with contentment is great gain. ⁷ For we brought nothing into the world; and it is certain we can carry nothing out. ⁸ If we have, then, food and raiment, we will be therewith content. ⁹ But they who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evils; which some coveting have strayed away from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many pangs.

¹² Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on everlasting life, to which thou wast called, and didst profess the good profession before many witnesses.

¹⁶ who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man hath seen, or can see; to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

¹⁸ that they be rich in good works, liberal in imparting, willing to communicate,

²⁰ O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane babblings, and oppositions of the falselycalled knowledge;

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,

¹⁶ The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but on the contrary, ¹⁷ when he arrived at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. ¹⁸ The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and what services he rendered me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

¹ Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus; 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.

¹⁸ The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed, and preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²² The Lord be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.

⁶ if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, or unruly.

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. ¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and conscience are defiled.

¹⁵ All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.

¹ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved friend and fellowlaborer,

⁵ hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints; ⁶ that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us, for Christ Jesus.

⁸ Wherefore, though I have much boldness in Christ to enjoin upon thee that which is befitting, 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,

²² And at the same time make ready a lodging for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

¹² and thou wilt fold them up as a vesture, and they will be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years will not fail."

¹ Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest haply we let them slip.

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;

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

¹² Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. ¹³ But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

¹ Let us then fear, since a promise is still left us of entering into his rest, lest any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining it.

⁹ There remaineth therefore a sabbathrest to the people of God.

¹¹ Let us then strive to enter into that rest, that no one may fall, as a like example of disobedience.

¹⁶ Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

¹⁰ For God is not unjust so as to forget your work, and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered and are still ministering to the saints.

¹⁰ For God is not unjust so as to forget your work, and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered and are still ministering to the saints. 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;

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.

¹² that ye may not become slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and endurance inherit the promises.

²⁵ wherefore he is able also to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

⁹ which is a figure for the present time, in accordance with which are offered both gifts and sacrifices, which have no power as to the conscience to perfect the worshipper, ¹⁰ being only ordinances pertaining to the flesh, which in addition to meats and drinks and divers washings are imposed until the time of reformation.

¹² not with the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, and obtained for us everlasting redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the purifying of the flesh, 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!

¹⁶ For where there is a testament there must of necessity be implied the death of the testator; ¹⁷ for a testament is of force after men are dead, since it is of no force while the testator is living. ¹⁸ Hence neither was the first covenant ratified without blood. ¹⁹ For when Moses had spoken every precept according to the Law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, ²⁰ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God enjoined in respect to you."

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ a new and living way, which he consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, his flesh, ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience; and having had our bodies washed with pure water,

²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience; and having had our bodies washed with pure water, ²³ let us hold fast the profession of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful who promised; ²⁴ and let us consider one another, to excite to love and to good works,

²⁴ and let us consider one another, to excite to love and to good works, ²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. ²⁶ For if we sin willingly after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remaineth a sacrifice for sins; ²⁷ but a certain fearful looking for judgment, and an indignation by fire, which will devour the adversaries. ²⁸ He that hath set at nought the law of Moses dieth without mercy under two or three witnesses; ²⁹ of how much heavier punishment, think ye, will he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of grace?

²⁹ of how much heavier punishment, think ye, will he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongeth to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord;" and again, "The Lord will judge his people." ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. ³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great struggle with sufferings; ³³ partly, while ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while ye became partakers with those that were so used. ³⁴ For ye sympathized with those in bonds, and ye took joyfully the plundering of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better and an enduring substance.

³⁴ For ye sympathized with those in bonds, and ye took joyfully the plundering of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better and an enduring substance. ³⁵ Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. ³⁶ For ye have need of endurance; that, after ye have done the will of God, ye may receive what is 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. ³⁸ Now my righteous man shall live by faith; but if he draw back, my soul hath no pleasure in him." ³⁹ But we are not of those who draw back, unto perdition; but of those who believe, to the saving of the soul.

⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of the promise, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he was looking for the city which hath foundations, whose maker and builder is God.

¹² Wherefore there sprang even from one, and him become as dead, a race like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand by the seashore which cannot be numbered. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promised blessings, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and having professed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For they who say such things show plainly that they are seeking a country. ¹⁵ And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came out, they would have had opportunity to return; ¹⁶ but now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he prepared for them a city.

²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the recompense of reward.

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; ² looking to the author and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ For consider him that endured such contradiction by sinners against him, lest ye faint in your souls, and become weary.

¹² Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, that the lame may not be turned out of the way, but may rather be healed. ¹⁴ Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord; 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; ¹⁶ lest there be any fornicator, or profane person as Esau, who for one meal sold even his birthright.

¹⁶ lest there be any fornicator, or profane person as Esau, who for one meal sold even his birthright.

²² but ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads, the general assembly of angels; ²³ and to the church of the firstborn, who are enrolled in heaven; and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect;

²⁵ See that ye refuse not him who speaketh. For if they did not escape, who refused him who spoke his will on earth, much more shall not we, if we turn away from him who speaketh from heaven; ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now he hath promised, saying, "Yet once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also the heaven." ²⁷ And this expression, "Yet once more," signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, in order that those things which are not shaken may abide. ²⁸ Wherefore receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear.

¹ Let brotherly love continue.

² Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. ³ Remember those in bonds, as bound with them; those in distress, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁷ Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God; and considering well the end of their manner of life, imitate their faith.

¹² Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Let us then go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach; ¹⁴ for here we have no abiding city, but are seeking that which is to come. ¹⁵ Through him therefore let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips giving thanks to his name. ¹⁶ But works of kindness and liberality forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹⁶ But works of kindness and liberality forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. ¹⁷ Obey your leaders, and submit yourselves to them; for they keep watch in behalf of your souls, as those who must give an account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief; for this is not for your advantage.

²⁴ Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. Those from Italy salute you.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no change, nor shadow from turning.

⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God; resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.

²¹ who through him have faith in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. ²² Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart, fervently;

⁵ be ye yourselves also, as living stones, built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

¹² having your manner of life among the gentiles honorable; that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

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

²⁵ For ye were going astray like sheep; but ye have now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

⁸ Finally, be, all of one mind, have fellow feeling, love as brethren, be compassionate, be humble;

¹⁶ having a good conscience, that, wherein ye are evil spoken of, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conduct in Christ.

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.

⁴ at which they are astonished that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you;

⁷ But the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. ⁸ And above all things have fervent love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins. ⁹ Be hospitable to one another without grudging.

¹¹ If any one speak, let him speak as uttering the oracles of God; if any minister, let him do it as from the ability which God giveth; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁴ If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you. ¹⁵ For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a busybody in other mens matters; ¹⁶ but if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.

² tend the flock of God which is among you, overseeing it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for base gain, but with ready mind; ³ not as lording it over your allotted charge, but being examples to the flock; ⁴ and when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye will receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away. ⁵ In like manner, ye younger men, submit yourselves to the elder; and all of you be clothed with humility toward each other; for "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble."

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. ¹¹ To him be the dominion for ever. Amen. 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.

⁷ and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

³ and in covetousness will they with feigned words make merchandise of you; for whom the judgment long ago ordained lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.

¹⁴ having eyes full of an adulteress, and that cannot cease from sin, alluring unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousness, children of a curse,

¹³ But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 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.

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;

¹⁷ And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

¹⁰ In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the Devil. Whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, and he that loveth not his brother. ¹¹ For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; ¹² not as Cain was of the Evil One, and slew his brother. And wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brothers righteous. ¹³ Wonder not, brethren, if the world hateth you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren; he that loveth not abideth in death. ¹⁵ Whoever hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer hath everlasting life abiding in him. 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. ¹⁷ But whoever hath this worlds goods, and seeth his brother having need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

²² and whatever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and should love one another, as he gave commandment.

¹ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is from God, and every one that loveth hath been born of God, and knoweth God; ⁸ he that loveth not hath not known God; for God is love. ⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in regard to us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through him. ¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

²⁰ If any one saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?

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. ⁷ For there are three that bear witness, ⁸ the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one.

⁵ And now I beseech thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.

¹¹ Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God; he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

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.

¹¹ Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and rushed on in the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah. ¹² These are the rocks in your feasts of love, feasting together without fear, feeding only themselves; clouds without water, carried away by winds; trees in late autumn, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

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.

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;

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. 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.

¹¹ saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardes, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand on me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ and he that liveth; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore; and I have the keys of death and the underworld.

⁴ But I have this against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.

⁶ and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass like to crystal; and in the middle before the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

⁸ And the four living creatures, having each of them six wings, around and within are full of eyes; and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come. ⁹ And when the living creatures give glory, and honor, and thanksgiving to him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, ¹⁰ the twentyfour elders fall down before him that sitteth on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ¹¹ Worthy art thou, O Lord, and our God, to receive the glory, and the honor, and the power; for thou didst create all things, and on account of thy will they were, and were created.

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 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, ¹⁰ and hast made them a kingdom and priests, and they reign on the earth. ¹¹ And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; ¹² saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and those which are on the earth and under the earth, and on the sea, and the things in them, I heard them all saying, To him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever.

¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and those which are on the earth and under the earth, and on the sea, and the things in them, I heard them all saying, To him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four living creatures said Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped.

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;

⁹ After these things I saw, and lo! a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands. ¹⁰ And they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb. ¹¹ And all the angels were standing around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² saying, Amen; the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honor, and the power, and the might, be to our God, for ever and ever.

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹ After these things I heard as it were a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah I The salvation, and the glory, and the power, belong to our God; ² for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. ³ And a second time they said, Hallelujah! and her smoke goeth up for ever and ever. ⁴ And the twentyfour elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen, hallelujah! ⁵ And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, the small and the great. ⁶ And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah! for the Lord our God the Almighty reigneth.

⁴ And I saw thrones; and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them; and I saw the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony to Jesus, and on account of the word of God, and of all who had not worshipped the beast, nor his image, and had not received his mark upon their forehead, or upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

¹⁵ Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loveth and practiseth falsehood.

²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
