¹ And there came down certain men from Judaea, and taught the brethren, Unless ye are circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved. ² But when Paul and Barnabas had had no small dissension and debate with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question. ³ They therefore, having been sent forward by the church, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren. ⁴ And having come to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they related what great things God had wrought with them. ⁵ But there rose up certain believers of the sect of the Pharisees, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

I am clean; from this time I will go to the gentiles. ⁷ And he departed thence, and went to the house of a certain man, named Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was very near the synagogue. ⁸ And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians upon hearing believed, and were baptized. ⁹ And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Be not afraid, but speak on, and be not silent; ¹⁰ for I am with thee, and no one shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city. ¹¹ And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. ¹² And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul, and brought him before the judgmentseat,

²⁶ And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But Aquila and Priscilla having heard him, took him to them, and set forth to him the way [of the Lord] more fully. ²⁷ And when he wished to go over into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to give him welcome; and when he was come, he gave much aid to those who had believed through grace.

³ Salute Prisca and Aquila, my fellowlaborers in Christ Jesus; ⁴ who for my life laid down their own necks; to whom not I alone give thanks, but also all the churches of the gentiles; ⁵ salute also the church that is in their house. 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.

¹⁴ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren that are with them.

¹⁹ For your obedience hath become known to all. Over you, then, I rejoice; but I would have you wise as to that which is good, and simple as to that which is evil. 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.

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.

¹⁰ But I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are dissensions among you. ¹² What I mean is this, that each of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

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

³⁰ But from him it is that ye are in Christ Jesus, who from God was made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption;

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

⁷ but we speak Gods wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God determined on before the world was, for our glory;

³ for ye are yet unspiritual. For while there is among you rivalry and strife, are ye not unspiritual, and walking after the manner of men?

¹ Let a man so account us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

⁹ I wrote to you in that letter, not to keep company with fornicators; ¹⁰ certainly not meaning the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters; for to do this ye must go out of the world. 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.

¹⁷ But let every one continue to walk in the lot which the Lord appointed him, in the condition in which God called him. And this direction I give in all the churches.

¹⁸ For in the first place, when ye come together in assembly of the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it; ¹⁹ for there must be also parties among you, that they who are approved may also become manifest among you.

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

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am; and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

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

¹ Now concerning the collection for the saints, according to the directions which I gave to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. ² Every first day of the week let each of you lay by him something in store, according as he hath prospered; that the collections may not have to be made when I come. ³ And when I am with you, I will send with letters whomever you may approve to carry your bounty to Jerusalem; ⁴ and if it be worth while for me to go also, they shall go with me.

¹⁵ And I exhort you, brethren,ye know the family of Stephanas, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the holy, ¹⁶ that ye submit yourselves to such as they are, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboreth.

¹⁹ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca, with the church that is in their house, send you many salutations in the Lord. ²⁰ All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss. ²¹ The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand.

²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

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:

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.

⁹ For to this end also I wrote, that I might know by putting it to the proof, whether ye are obedient in all things.

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.

¹ Are we beginning again to recommend ourselves? Or do we need, like some others, letters of recommendation to you, or letters of recommendation from you?

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

⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus sake.

¹⁷ Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

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

²² And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often in many things proved to be zealous, but now much more zealous through the great confidence which he hath in you.

² For I know your readiness of mind, of which I boast in behalf of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was prepared a year ago; and your zeal stirred up the greater part of them.

³ but I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from singleheartedness toward Christ.

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.

²³ Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself,) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often;

¹² Salute one another with a holy kiss.

¹⁴ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the partaking of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil world, according to the will of God our Father; ⁵ to whom be the glory for ever and ever! Amen.

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! 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.

²² and I was unknown by face to the churches of Judaea which were in Christ;

² And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the gentiles; but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

⁴ and that because of the false brethren stealthily brought in, who crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring into bondage;

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.

⁸ Moreover the Scripture, foreseeing that God was to accept the gentiles as righteous by faith, proclaimed beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

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

¹¹ See in what large letters I have written to you with my own hand.

¹⁵ For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints who are [in Ephesus], and believers in Christ Jesus:

⁴ according as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him;

⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, ⁸ which he made to abound toward us, in all wisdom and understanding; ⁹ having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself

¹⁵ For this cause I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and of your love to all the saints, ¹⁶ do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; ¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him; ¹⁸ the eyes of your mind being enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope belonging to his call of you, and what the riches of the glory of the inheritance which he hath given among the saints,

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

²⁰ and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

³ that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words, ⁴ whereby, when ye read, ye may perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ; ⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

⁹ to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery, which hath been hidden for ages in God, who created all things; ¹⁰ to the intent that now to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions might be known through the church the manifold wisdom of God, ¹¹ according to his purpose for ages, which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord;

²⁰ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, ²¹ to him be the glory in the church in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints,

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

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,

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:

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

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

¹⁵ that ye may be blameless and pure, children of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom ye shine as luminaries in the world,

¹⁹ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I know your state. ²⁰ For I have no one likeminded, who will have a true concern for your state; ²¹ for all of them are seeking their own things, not those of Christ Jesus.

²¹ for all of them are seeking their own things, not those of Christ Jesus. ²² But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son serves a father, he served with me for the gospel.

²² But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son serves a father, he served with me for the gospel. ²³ Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, as soon as I see how it will go with me;

²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such in honor; ³⁰ because he was near to death on account of the work, hazarding his life to supply what was wanting on your part in the ministration to me.

² Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workmen, beware of the concision. ³ For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

¹⁷ Brethren, be ye followers together of me, and mark those who walk as ye have us for an example.

¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, whose mind is on earthly things.

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

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. ¹⁹ But my God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory, in Christ Jesus. ²⁰ Now to God, our Father, be glory for ever. Amen.

²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy the brother, ² to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colossae: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father. ³ We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, ⁴ since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, ⁵ on account of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, ⁶ which is come to you, as it is in all the world, and is bearing fruit and growing, as it doth also in you, from the day ye heard it, and knew the grace of God in truth; ⁷ even as ye learned from Epaphras our beloved fellowservant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf; ⁸ who also brought to our knowledge your love in the Spirit. 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;

²⁶ the mystery which hath been hidden for ages and generations, but hath been now revealed to his saints;

²⁶ the mystery which hath been hidden for ages and generations, but hath been now revealed to his saints; ²⁷ to whom it was the will of God to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

²⁹ to which end I also am laboring, striving earnestly through his working, which worketh within me mightily.

² that their hearts may be encouraged, they being knit together in love, and that they may attain to all the riches of a full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the mystery of God; ³ in which are stored up all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. ⁴ And this I say, that no one may impose on you by specious discourses.

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.

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.

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the recompense of the inheritance; serve Christ as your Lord.

¹⁰ Aristarchus, my fellowprisoner, saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom ye received directions (if he come to you, receive him),

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.

¹⁵ Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church in his house.

¹ Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace. ² We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, ³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and perseverance in the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before God our Father;

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

⁸ For from you the word of the Lord hath sounded forth not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God hath become known; so that we need not say anything [about you]. ⁹ For they themselves are reporting concerning us what kind of reception we had among you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,

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;

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,

⁶ But when Timothy just now came to us from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you;

⁶ But when Timothy just now came to us from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you; ⁷ for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction by your faith; ⁸ for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 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.

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.

²⁶ Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.

²⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

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

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

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

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

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

⁶ Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.

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; ¹⁵ yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

² to Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. ³ As I besought thee, when I set out for Macedonia, to remain still in Ephesus, that thou mightst charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,

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

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

¹⁰ And let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, if they are without reproach.

¹⁰ For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have placed our hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of believers.

² the elder women, as mothers; the younger, as sisters, with all purity.

⁹ Let a widow be put on the list when not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one husband, 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.

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.

¹⁷ Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor; especially they who labor in the word and in teaching. ¹⁸ For the Scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox while he is treading out the grain"; and, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."

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.

⁵ incessant disputings of men corrupted in their minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that godliness is gain.

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

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.

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

² to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁹ who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and the grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, ¹⁰ but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,

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.

⁸ Bear in mind Jesus Christ of the seed of David, as raised from the dead, according to my gospel;

¹⁶ But shun the profane babblings; for they will go on to a higher degree of ungodliness; ¹⁷ and their word will eat as doth a canker; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus, ¹⁸ who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection hath already taken place, and overthrow the faith of some.

² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without ³ natural affection, implacable, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, without love for what is good, ⁴ betrayers, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; ⁵ having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. And from these turn away.

⁵ having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. And from these turn away. ⁶ For of these are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

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

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. ¹⁹ Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. ²⁰ Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick.

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

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

² in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, ³ but in his own seasons manifested his word through the preaching with which I was intrusted by the commandment of God our Saviour:

¹⁰ For there are many unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision; ¹¹ whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain. ¹² One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: "The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons."

³ that aged women likewise be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good,

¹⁰ A man that stirs up divisions, after a first and second admonition, avoid;

² and to the beloved Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:

¹² whom I have sent back; and do thou [receive] him, that is, my own flesh.

¹⁷ If thou then regardest me as a partner, receive him as myself.

²³ Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus,

²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

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, ¹⁵ and might deliver those who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

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

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;

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.

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!

⁸ Jesus Christ is yesterday and today the same, and for ever.

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.

²¹ make you perfect in every good work, to do his will, doing in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever. Amen.

²³ Know that the brother Timothy hath been set at liberty, with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

¹ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

¹⁸ Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

¹⁵ If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

¹³ Who is wise and endued with knowledge among you P let him show out of a good course of conduct his works in meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter rivalry and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom is not that which descendeth from above, but earthly, sensual, devilish. ¹⁶ For where there is rivalry and strife, there is confusion and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

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

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

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets sought earnestly and searched earnestly, who prophesied of the grace that was to come to you; ¹¹ searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when it testified beforehand the sufferings to come upon Christ, and the glories that were to follow; ¹² to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they were ministering the things, which have now been announced to you by them that have brought the glad tidings to you by the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

²⁰ who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,

²² Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart, fervently; ²³ being born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁴ Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all that are in Christ.

¹ But there arose false prophets also among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who will stealthily bring in destructive factions, even denying the Lord that bought them; bringing upon themselves swift destruction. ² And many will follow their dissolute ways, by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of; 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.

¹⁰ but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise dominion. Presumptuous, selfwilled, they are not afraid to rail at dignities; ¹¹ whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, bring not against them a railing accusation; ¹² but these, as brute beasts, by nature born to be taken and destroyed, railing at things which they understand not, shall even perish in their own corruption, ¹³ receiving the wages of unrighteousness. Counting it pleasure to riot in the daytime, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceits while they feast with you, 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, ¹⁵ they have forsaken the right way, and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,

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

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.

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.

⁸ He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil.

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

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

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. ² Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledgeth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh, is of God. ³ And every spirit that doth not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which ye have heard that it is to come, and even now it is already in the world.

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

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.

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

⁷ For many deceivers went out into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ coming in the flesh; this is the deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸ Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye wrought, but receive a full reward. ⁹ Whoever goeth beyond, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the teaching, he hath both the Son and the Father. ¹⁰ If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed.

¹⁰ If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed. ¹¹ For he that biddeth him good speed taketh part in his evil deeds.

¹ The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.

¹ The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth. ² Beloved, in all things I pray that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth. ³ For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bore witness to thy truth, as thou walkest in truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth. ⁵ Beloved, thou doest a faithful thing whatever thou doest to the brethren, and that to strangers,

⁵ Beloved, thou doest a faithful thing whatever thou doest to the brethren, and that to strangers, ⁶ who bore witness of thy love before the church; whom if thou send forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, thou wilt do well.

⁶ who bore witness of thy love before the church; whom if thou send forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, thou wilt do well. ⁷ For in behalf of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the gentiles. ⁸ We therefore ought to sustain such persons, that we may be fellowworkers for the truth. ⁹ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. ¹⁰ Wherefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words; and not content therewith, he himself doth not receive the brethren, and those that would he forbiddeth, and casteth them out of the church.

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

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;

¹⁶ These are murmurers, complaining of their lot, walking according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words; admiring mens persons, for the sake of profit.

¹⁹ These are they that separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.

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

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.

¹ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants what must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John;

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; ⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loveth us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, ⁶ and made us a kingdom, priests to God his Father, to him be the glory and the dominion for ever. Amen.

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.

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

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, 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.

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.

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night;

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

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.

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.

¹ And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand. ² And he laid hold of the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, ³ and cast him into the abyss, and shut him up and set a seal over him, that he may deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years are ended: after that he must be loosed for a short time.

²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
