And he was struck dumb. ¹³ Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ¹⁴ For many are called, but few are chosen. ¹⁵ Then the Pharisees went and consulted together how l they might ensnare him in speech. ¹⁶ And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and thou carest for no one; for thou regardest not the person of men. ¹⁷ Tell us, therefore, What thinkest thou?

And they went. ⁵ Again going out about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did likewise. ⁶ And going out about the eleventh hour, he found others standing, and saith to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? ⁷ They say to him, Because no one hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard. ⁸ And when evening came, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their pay, beginning with the last, and going on to the first. ⁹ And they who were hired about the eleventh hour came, and received each a denary. ¹⁰ But when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more; and they too received each a denary. ¹¹ And when they had received it, they murmured against the householder, ¹² saying, These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day. ¹³ But he answering said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a denary?

³⁶ Teacher, which commandment is great in the Law? ³⁷ And he said to him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."

⁴⁶ And no one was able to answer him a word; nor durst any one from that day question him any more.

²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the dill, and the cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the Law, justice, and mercy, and faith; these ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone. ²⁴ Blind guides! who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.

³⁴ Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city; ³⁵ that on you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye slew, between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Truly do I say to you, All these things will come upon this generation. ³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth those who are sent to her!

³⁰ And cast out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ³¹ And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he sit on the throne of his glory, ³² and before him will be gathered all the nations; and he will separate men one from another, as a shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;

¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods. And they marveled at him exceedingly. ¹⁸ Then come to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, ¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, "If a mans brother die, and leave a wife and no child, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother."

¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, "If a mans brother die, and leave a wife and no child, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother."

¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, "If a mans brother die, and leave a wife and no child, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother." ²⁰ There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

²⁰ There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. ²¹ And the second took her and died, leaving no seed; and the third likewise.

²¹ And the second took her and died, leaving no seed; and the third likewise. ²² And the seven left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died.

²² And the seven left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died. ²³ In the resurrection, when they have risen, of which of them will she be wife? for the seven had her for a wife.

²³ In the resurrection, when they have risen, of which of them will she be wife? for the seven had her for a wife. ²⁴ Jesus said to them, Do ye not err on this account, that ye know not the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

²⁴ Jesus said to them, Do ye not err on this account, that ye know not the Scriptures, nor the power of God? ²⁵ For when they have risen from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven.

²⁵ For when they have risen from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven. ²⁶ And concerning the dead, that they are raised, have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"? ²⁷ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye err greatly. ²⁸ And one of the scribes came up, having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which commandment is first of all?

²⁸ And one of the scribes came up, having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which commandment is first of all? ²⁹ Jesus answered, The first is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;

²⁹ Jesus answered, The first is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;

²⁹ Jesus answered, The first is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; ³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength."

³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength."

³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." ³¹ The second is this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." There is no other commandment greater than these.

³¹ The second is this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." There is no other commandment greater than these.

³¹ The second is this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." There is no other commandment greater than these. ³² And the scribe said to him, In truth, Teacher, thou hast well said, that He is one, and that there is no other but he; ³³ and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love ones neighbor as ones self, is more than all the whole burntofferings and the sacrifices.

³³ and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love ones neighbor as ones self, is more than all the whole burntofferings and the sacrifices. ³⁴ And Jesus, perceiving that he answered wisely, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And after this no one dared to question him. ³⁵ And Jesus answered and said, while he was teaching in the temple, How is it that the scribes say, that the Christ is Davids son? ³⁶ David himself said in the Holy Spirit, "The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."

³⁶ David himself said in the Holy Spirit, "The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool." ³⁷ David himself calleth him lord; and how can he be his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to the whole creation. ¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptized will be saved; but he that doth not believe will be condemned.

³⁷ For nothing will be impossible with God.

⁶⁹ and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, ⁷⁰ as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets of old,

¹ And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be registered.

²⁶ and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. ²⁷ And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,

⁴⁷ And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

²² And they all spoke in his praise, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded from his mouth; and they said, Is not this Josephs son?

²² But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered and said to them, What are ye thinking in your hearts?

⁴⁶ But why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

³⁰ But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.

⁴⁰ And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.

¹⁰ And he said, To you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others [these things are spoken] in parables; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.

¹ And he called together the twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. ² And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal. ³ And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats apiece. ⁴ And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and from it take your departure. ⁵ And whoever shall not receive you, shake off, when ye leave that city, even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them. ⁶ And they departed, and went through the towns publishing the glad tidings, and performing cures everywhere.

⁴⁷ And Jesus knowing the reasoning of their heart, took a child and set him by his side,

¹ After these things, the Lord appointed also seventy others, and sent them two and two before him into every city and place where he himself was about to come. ² And he said to them, The harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers for his harvest. ³ Go forth; lo! I send you as lambs into the midst of wolves. ⁴ Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; salute no one by the way. ⁵ And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. ⁶ And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall return to you. ⁷ And abide in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. ⁸ And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you, ⁹ and heal the sick that are therein, and say to them, The kingdom of God hath come near to you. ¹⁰ But into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into its streets and say, ¹¹ Even the dust of your city that cleaveth to our feet we wipe off to you; but know this, that the kingdom of God hath come near. ¹² And I tell you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. ¹³ Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴ But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you. ¹⁵ And thou, Capernaum! shalt thou be exalted to heaven? thou shalt be brought down to the underworld. ¹⁶ He that hearkeneth to you, hearkeneth to me; and he that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; but he that rejecteth me, rejecteth him that sent me.

²⁵ And lo! a certain lawyer stood up to try him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life?

²⁵ And lo! a certain lawyer stood up to try him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? ²⁶ And he said to him, What is written in the Law? How readest thou? ²⁷ And he answering said "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself."

²⁷ And he answering said "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself." ²⁸ And he said to him, Thou hast answered rightly; do this, and thou shalt live. ²⁹ But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? ³⁰ Jesus answering said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers; who after stripping him of his raiment, and wounding him, departed, leaving him half dead. ³¹ And by chance a certain priest was going down on that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. ³² And in like manner also a Levite, having arrived at the place, came and saw, and passed by on the other side. ³³ But a certain Samaritan, as he was journeying, came where he was, and when he saw him, had compassion, ³⁴ and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and setting him on his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵ And the next day, he took out two denaries and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatever thou spendest more, I, when I come back, will repay thee. ³⁶ Which of these three, dost thou think, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers? ³⁷ And he said, He that took pity on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the rue, and every herb; and pass by justice and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone.

⁴⁵ And one of the lawyers answering saith to him, Teacher, in saying these things, thou revilest us also. ⁴⁶ And he said, To you lawyers also, woe! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁵² Woe to you lawyers! because ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye have not entered yourselves, and those who were entering ye have hindered. ⁵³ And as he came out thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very spiteful, and to press him to speak off hand about many things, ⁵⁴ lying in wait to catch something out of his mouth.

¹⁷ And on his speaking thus, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

²³ And one said to him, Lord, are there few that are to be saved? And he said to them, ²⁴ Strive to enter in through the narrow door; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

²⁸ There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth there, when ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.

³⁴ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that killeth the prophets, and stoneth those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

³ And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath, or not?

⁶ And they could make no answer to this.

¹⁵ And one of those who were at table with him, hearing this, said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. ¹⁶ And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.

¹⁶ And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.

¹⁶ And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many. ¹⁷ And at the hour of supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for things are now ready.

¹⁷ And at the hour of supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for things are now ready.

¹⁷ And at the hour of supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for things are now ready. ¹⁸ And all with one accord began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and must needs go out and see it; I pray that I may be excused.

¹⁸ And all with one accord began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and must needs go out and see it; I pray that I may be excused. ¹⁹ And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am going out to try them; I pray that I may be excused.

¹⁹ And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am going out to try them; I pray that I may be excused. ²⁰ And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

²⁰ And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. ²¹ And the servant came, and reported these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, the blind, and the lame. ²² And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command hath been done, and yet there is room. ²³ And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain them to come in, that my house may be filled. ²⁴ For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

²⁸ But he was angry, and would not go in; and his father came out, and entreated him.

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be also in the days of the Son of man. ²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. ²⁸ In like manner, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; ²⁹ but on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. ³⁰ Thus will it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. ³¹ In that day, let not him who is upon the housetop, and whose furniture is in the house, come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not turn back. ³² Remember Lots wife.

²⁷ But as for those enemies of mine, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them here, and slay them before me.

⁴² saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, and that in this thy day, the things that concern thy peace! but now they are hidden from thine eyes. ⁴³ For the days will come upon thee, when thine enemies will cast up a mound about thee, and compass thee round, and shut thee in on every side, ⁴⁴ and will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they will not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

²⁰ And they kept watch on him, and sent forth spies feigning themselves to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the civil power and to the authority of the governor. ²¹ And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and hast no regard to the person of men, but teachest the way of God truly.

²¹ And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and hast no regard to the person of men, but teachest the way of God truly. ²² Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not? ²³ But perceiving their craftiness, he said to them,

²³ But perceiving their craftiness, he said to them, ²⁴ Show me a denary. Whose image and inscription hath it? And they answered and said, Caesars.

²⁴ Show me a denary. Whose image and inscription hath it? And they answered and said, Caesars. ²⁵ And he said to them, Render then to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods. ²⁶ And they could not take hold of his words before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace. ²⁷ Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to him, and asked him, ²⁸ saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, "If a mans brother die, having a wife, and the same die without children, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother."

²⁸ saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, "If a mans brother die, having a wife, and the same die without children, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother." ²⁹ Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless.

²⁹ Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless. ³⁰ And the second

³⁰ And the second ³¹ and the third took her; and in like manner also the seven left no children, and died.

³¹ and the third took her; and in like manner also the seven left no children, and died. ³² At last the woman also died.

³² At last the woman also died. ³³ In the resurrection then, of which of them is the woman the wife? for the seven had her for a wife.

³³ In the resurrection then, of which of them is the woman the wife? for the seven had her for a wife. ³⁴ And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage;

³⁴ And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage; ³⁵ but they who have been accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage;

³⁵ but they who have been accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage;

³⁵ but they who have been accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; ³⁶ for they cannot die any more; for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

³⁶ for they cannot die any more; for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. ³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses hath shown at the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses hath shown at the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. ³⁸ Now he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.

³⁸ Now he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him. ³⁹ Then some of the scribes answering, said, Teacher, thou hast well said. ⁴⁰ For they dared no longer to ask him any question.

⁴⁰ For they dared no longer to ask him any question. ⁴¹ And he said to them, How is it that men say that the Christ is Davids son? ⁴² For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, "The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand, ⁴³ till I make thine enemies thy footstool." ⁴⁴ David then calleth him lord; and how is he his son?

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or gainsay.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let those who are within the city go out of it, and let not those in the open country enter it.

²⁴ and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the gentiles, until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled.

³⁶ But watch at all times, and pray that ye may be able to escape all the things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Christ, the king.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures. ⁴⁶ And he said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and should rise from the dead on the third day, ⁴⁷ and that repentance for the remission of sins should be preached in his name among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁷ and that repentance for the remission of sins should be preached in his name among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

¹⁷ For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.

²⁵ and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegrooms voice. This my joy then hath become full. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.

²⁸ Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, ²⁹ and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.

⁴⁰ and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which is coming down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eat of my bread, he will live for ever. Yea, and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. ⁵² The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. ⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life; and I will raise him up in the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live by reason of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live by reason of me.

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast words of everlasting life; ⁶⁹ and we have believed and known, that thou art the Holy One of God.

¹⁸ He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and in him is no unrighteousness.

⁴¹ Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee? ⁴² Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.

⁶ But this they said to try him, that they might be able to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. ⁷ But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up, and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast a stone at her. ⁸ And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. ⁹ And when they heard this, they went out one by one, beginning with the oldest; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman who was in the midst.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, From before Abraham was, I have been.

⁴⁷ Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we to do, seeing that this man worketh many signs? ⁴⁸ If we thus let him alone, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation. ⁴⁹ And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being highpriest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all; ⁵⁰ nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one cometh to the Father but through me.

¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember what I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my words, they will keep yours also.

² They will put you out of the synagogues; yea, the hour is coming when every one that killeth you will think that he is offering sacrifice to God. ³ And these things will they do, because they neither know the Father nor me.

³⁷ Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to my voice.

¹² From this time Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not a friend of Caesar. Every one that maketh himself a king, setteth himself against Caesar. ¹³ When therefore Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgmentseat, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ Now it was the preparation of the passover. It was about the sixth hour. And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king! ¹⁵ Upon this they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

⁹ For not even yet did they know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God!

¹⁸ Truly, truly do I say to thee, when thou wast young, thou didst gird thyself, and walk whither thou wouldst; but when thou hast grown old, thou wilt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldst not.

⁸ But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

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.

¹³ Others making sport of it, said, They are full of new wine.

³⁰ Being then a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath that he would set one sprung from his loins upon his throne, ³¹ he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that neither was he abandoned to the underworld, nor did his flesh see corruption.

³⁴ For David did not ascend into the heavens; but he himself saith, The Lord said to my lord, "Sit thou on my right hand, ³⁵ until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

¹ And while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

¹ And while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, ² being indignant that they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. ³ And they laid hands upon them, and put them in prison until the next day; for it was now evening.

¹⁴ And seeing the man that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.

² and kept back part of the price, his wife also having knowledge of it; and brought a certain part, and laid it at the feet of the apostles. ³ But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land? ⁴ While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, but to God. ⁵ And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard of it. ⁶ And the young men arose, and wrapt him up, and carried him out, and buried him. ⁷ And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. ⁸ Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much. ⁹ And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of those who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.

⁹ And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of those who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out. ¹⁰ And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men, when they came in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband. ¹¹ And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that heard of these things.

¹⁷ But the highpriest and all that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with indignation,

²⁴ And when the priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this would come. ²⁵ But one came and brought them word, Lo! the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people. ²⁶ Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, that they might not be stoned; for they feared the people. ²⁷ And having brought them, they set them before the council. And the highpriest questioned them, ²⁸ saying, We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and mean to bring this mans blood upon us. ²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

³⁷ After this man arose Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the registering, and drew people away after him; he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

⁴⁰ And they were persuaded by him; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them. ⁴¹ They therefore went away from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame in behalf of that name;

¹⁰ and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.

³² saying, "I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob." And Moses trembled and durst not behold.

⁵¹ Stiffnecked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears! ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do ye. ⁵² Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they slew those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, of whom ye have now become the betrayers and murderers; ⁵³ ye who received the Law as ordained through angels, and did not keep it. ⁵⁴ But when they heard these things, their hearts were filled with rage, and they gnashed their teeth at him.

⁵⁴ But when they heard these things, their hearts were filled with rage, and they gnashed their teeth at him. ⁵⁵ But, being full of the Holy Spirit, he looked up earnestly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, ⁵⁶ and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. ⁵⁷ And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;

¹ And Saul was consenting to his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all were scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

²⁰ But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee! because thou didst think to obtain the gift of God with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if haply the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

¹⁹ Now they who were scattered abroad by the persecution that arose on account of Stephen traveled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews. ²⁰ But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, publishing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.

²² and having removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king, to whom he gave testimony, saying, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will do all my will." ²³ From the seed of this man hath God, according to his promise, brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with indignation, and spoke against what was spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling. ⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly and plainly, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of the everlasting life, lo! we turn to the gentiles. ⁴⁷ For thus hath the Lord commanded us: "I have set thee to be a light of the gentiles, that thou mayst bring salvation even to the end of the earth."

⁷ whom Jason hath entertained; and they are all acting in opposition to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.

²³ And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith. ²⁴ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen. ²⁵ And having called them together, with the workmen of like occupation, he said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth; ²⁶ and ye see and hear, that this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, not only of Ephesus, but of almost all Asia, saying, that those are not gods, which are made with hands. ²⁷ And there is not only danger that this branch of our business will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship. ²⁸ And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!

¹¹ and coming to us, he took off Pauls girdle, and bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit: So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and will deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.

²⁸ crying out, Men of Israel, help! This is the man that teacheth every one everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place; and besides he even brought Greeks into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. ²⁹ For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus, the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple. ³⁰ And the whole city was in motion, and the people ran together; and they laid hold of Paul and dragged him out of the temple; and forthwith the doors were shut.

⁶ But Paul, perceiving one part to be Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried aloud in the council, Brethren! I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees; for the hope of the resurrection of the dead I am now tried. ⁷ And when he had said this, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided. ⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees affirm both.

²⁵ And as he discoursed of righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix became alarmed, and answered, Go thy way for the present; and when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

⁸ while Paul said in his defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I committed any offence.

⁸ Why is it judged incredible with you if God raiseth the dead?

¹⁷ And it came to pass that after three days he called together the chief men of the Jews, and when they had met he said to them, Brethren, I, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, was delivered up a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans; ¹⁸ who, when they had examined me, wished to release me, because I had done nothing deserving death. ¹⁹ But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar; not that I had any charge to bring against my nation. ²⁰ For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak to you; for it is on account of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain. ²¹ And they said to him, We neither received letters from Judea concerning thee, nor did any one of the brethren that came report or speak any evil of thee. ²² But we think it proper to hear from thee what thou thinkest; for with regard to this sect, we know that it is everywhere spoken against.

²² But we think it proper to hear from thee what thou thinkest; for with regard to this sect, we know that it is everywhere spoken against. ²³ And when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom he expounded, and earnestly testified, the kingdom of God, endeavoring to persuade them concerning Jesus both from the Law of Moses, and from the Prophets, from morning till evening. ²⁴ And some believed the things spoken, and some believed not. 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, ²⁶ saying, "Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see and not perceive. ²⁷ For the heart of this people hath become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn from their ways, and I should heal them." ²⁸ Be it therefore known to you, that to the gentiles this salvation of God hath been sent; they, moreover, will hear. ²⁹ (...)³⁰ And he abode two whole years in his own hired house and gladly received all that came in to him, ³¹ proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, without hindrance from any one.

³ the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh, 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;

⁴ Or dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God is leading thee to repentance?

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

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the Law saith, it saith to those who are under the Law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become subject to condemnation before God. ²⁰ Because by works of the Law no flesh shall be accepted as righteous: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin. 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.

⁶ For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace. ⁷ Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it doth not submit itself to the Law of God, neither indeed can it.

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?

⁵ whose are the fathers, and from whom, as to the flesh, was the Christ. He who is over all, God, be blessed for ever! Amen.

²¹ But concerning Israel he saith, "All the day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people."

⁶ For the same reason pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God, attending continually to this very business. ⁷ Render to all what is due to them; tribute, to whom tribute is due; custom, to whom custom; fear, to whom fear; honor, to whom honor.

⁷ Render to all what is due to them; tribute, to whom tribute is due; custom, to whom custom; fear, to whom fear; honor, to whom honor.

⁹ For these, "Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet," and every other commandment, are summed up in this precept, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

⁹ For these, "Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet," and every other commandment, are summed up in this precept, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." ¹⁰ Love worketh no ill to ones neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

¹⁴ but clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and think not about satisfying the lusts of the flesh.

² Let each one of us please his neighbor, to promote what is good, for edification.

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.

² to the church of God which is at Corinth, the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called, holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours;

⁵ So then judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the purposes of mens hearts; and then shall every one have his praise from God.

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.

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.

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; ³⁰ and they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; ³¹ and they that use this world as not abusing it; for the outward condition of this world is passing away;

¹² But if Christ be preached that he hath risen from the dead, how is it that some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ hath not risen; ¹⁴ and if Christ hath not risen, then is our preaching vain, and vain also is your faith.

²⁵ For he must reign, "till he hath put all enemies under his feet."

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.

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 since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, we shall not be found naked.

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.

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

²¹ and lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many of those who have sinned already, and did not repent of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, which they committed.

¹⁰ For do I now seek the favor of men, or of God? Or am I endeavoring to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

⁶ But from those who were reputed to be somewhatwhatever they were, it matters not to me, (God accepteth no mans person,) for to me those in reputation communicated nothing new.

²⁷ for as many of you as were baptized into Christ, did put on Christ.

¹⁴ For the whole Law is fulfilled in one commandment, even in this "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

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

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to make known among the gentiles the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of Christ,

²⁴ and that ye put on the new man, who was created according to God in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

²⁴ But as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of the water in the word; ²⁷ that he himself might present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ In like manner husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself; ²⁹ for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ doth the church; ³⁰ for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh." ³² This mystery is a great one; but I am speaking of Christ and of the church.

⁶ who, being in the form of God, did not regard it as a thing to be grasped at to be on an equality with God, ⁷ but made himself of no consideration, taking the form of a servant, and becoming like men; ⁸ and in what appertained to him appearing as a man, he humbled himself, and was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. ⁹ Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.

⁷ But whatever things were gain to me, those for the sake of Christ I have counted but loss. 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,

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; ¹⁰ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, while becoming like him in his death,

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.

¹⁰ and have put on the new man, who is renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him; ¹¹ where there is no Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

¹¹ where there is no Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

⁶ Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every one.

⁴ but as we have been regarded by God as worthy to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts.

¹⁴ For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for ye also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, as they have from the Jews; ¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and drove us out, and please not God, and set themselves against all men, ¹⁶ hindering us from speaking to the gentiles that they may be saved,to fill up their sins always! But the wrath is come upon them to the end.

⁵ an indication of the righteous judgment of God, by which ye will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye are also suffering;

⁹ who will be punished with everlasting destruction proceeding from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,

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

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.

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.

¹⁸ who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection hath already taken place, and overthrow the faith of some.

⁴ betrayers, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

¹¹ knowing that he that is such is utterly perverted, and sinneth, being selfcondemned.

¹³ Zenas the lawyer and Apollos forward on their journey diligently, that nothing may be wanting to them.

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;

¹³ But to which of the angels hath he ever said: "Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?"

³ how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first was spoken through the Lord, and was confirmed to us through those who heard him,

¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner shared in the same, that through death he might bring to nought him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil,

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

¹² For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, both the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart; ¹³ and there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and laid open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

²⁷ And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment;

¹² but he, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down for ever on the right hand of God, ¹³ thenceforth waiting until his enemies be made his footstool.

¹⁶ "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," the Lord saith, "I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them, ¹⁷ and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."

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.

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.

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;

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

¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.

⁴ To whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but in the sight of God chosen, honored, 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. ⁶ Because it is contained in the Scripture: "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, honored; and he that believeth in him shall not be put to shame." 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,"

¹³ Submit yourselves therefore to every human institution for the Lords sake; whether to the king, as supreme; ¹⁴ or to governors, as being sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and the praise of those who do well. ¹⁵ For so is the will of God, that with welldoing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men; ¹⁶ as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as servants of God. ¹⁷ Honor all men; love the brotherhood; fear God; honor the king.

¹⁷ For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God; but if it first begin with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God? ¹⁸ and "if the righteous scarcely is saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"

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

²¹ For prophecy never came by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke from God.

⁴ For if God spared not angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them over to chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

¹⁷ These are wells without water, and mists driven by a tempest; for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved.

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.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us.

¹ Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God l For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 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.

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.

¹⁹ We love, because he first loved us. 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? ²¹ And this commandment we have from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.

² By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments. ³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not burdensome, ⁴ because whatever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

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.

⁶ and the angels which kept not their principality, but left their own dwellingplace, he hath kept in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day;

¹³ raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lords day; and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee; thou hast there them that hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumblingblock in the way of the sons of Israel, and to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication. ¹⁵ So thou also hast men holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans, in like manner.

²⁰ But I have this against thee, that thou sufferest thy wife Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess, and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. ²¹ And I gave her time to repent, and she will not repent of her fornication. ²² Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those who together with her commit adultery into great distress, unless they repent of her deeds. ²³ And her children I will slay with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts; and I will give to every one of you according to your works.

²³ And her children I will slay with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts; and I will give to every one of you according to your works.

⁴ But thou hast a few names in Sardes which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

⁴ But thou hast a few names in Sardes which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. ⁵ He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white garments; and I will not blot out his name from the book of life, and I will acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his angels.

¹⁸ I advise thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayst be rich; and white garments, that thou mayst be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayst see.

² Immediately I was in the Spirit; and lo! a throne was set ha heaven, and one sat on the throne.

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. ¹⁴ And the four living creatures said Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped.

⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, A quart of wheat for a denary, and three quarts of barley for a denary; and, Hurt not the oil and the wine.

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.

¹⁵ Behold, I come as a thief; blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, that he may not walk naked, and his shame be seen.

¹⁴ These will make war with the Lamb; and the Lamb will overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

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. ⁷ Let us rejoice and exult, and we will give to him the glory; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready; ⁸ and it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, shining and pure. For the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.

⁸ and it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, shining and pure. For the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints. ⁹ And he saith to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the marriagesupper of the Lamb. And he saith to me, These are the true words of God. 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.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and the underworld gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged each one according to his works. ¹⁴ And death and the underworld were cast into the lake of fire; this is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

²⁷ And there shall not enter into it anything unclean, or that worketh abomination and falsehood; but only they that are written in the Lambs book of life.

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. ¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him that heareth say, Come! And let him that thirsteth come! Whoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
