¹⁰ And they honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they put on board everything we needed.

⁹ What then? are we better than they? No, by no means: for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; ¹⁰ As it is written, There is no one righteous, no, not one: ¹¹ There is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks after God. ¹² They have all left the way, together they have become unprofitable; there is no one who does good, no, not one. ¹³ Their throats are an open grave; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: ¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: ¹⁵ Their feet are swift to shed blood: ¹⁶ Destruction and misery are in their ways: ¹⁷ And the way of peace have they not known: ¹⁸ There is no fear of God before their eyes. ¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be held accountable to God.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be held accountable to God. ²⁰ Therefore, by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified in his sight: for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

²⁴ Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

²⁸ Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the law.

⁴ Now to the one who works, his reward is not counted as a gift, but as his due. ⁵ But to the one who does not work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.

¹⁶ Therefore it is by faith, that it might be by grace; so that the promise might be certain to all his descendants; not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

¹ Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: ² By whom we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

⁵ And hope does not disappoint; because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

¹⁵ But the free gift is not like the offence. For if through the offence of the one many died, how much more did the grace of God, and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to many. ¹⁶ And the effect of the gift is not like the effect of the one who sinned, judgment following one trespass and resulting in condemnation; but the free gift came following many offences and resulted in justification. ¹⁷ For if by one man's offence death reigned through that one; much more shall those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ Therefore, as the offence of one brought judgment upon all men, resulting in condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one came justification that brings life for all men. ¹⁹ For just as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. ²⁰ The law entered, that offences might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more: ²¹ So that as sin has reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that you who were once the slaves of sin, have obeyed from the heart that standard of teaching which was entrusted to you.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

²³ And not only the creation, but ourselves as well, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. ²⁴ For we are saved by this hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what man hopes for what he sees?

¹¹ (Though they were not yet born, and had done nothing good or evil, in order that the purpose of God according to his choice might stand, not because of works, but because of him who calls;)

³⁰ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, the righteousness which is by faith;

¹ Let every man be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority but from God: and those authorities that exist have been ordained by God. ² Therefore, whoever resists the authorities, resists the ordinance of God: and those who resist shall bring condemnation upon themselves. ³ For rulers are not a terror for those who do good works, but to those who do evil. Do you want to have no fear of the one in authority? do that which is good, and you shall have his praise: ⁴ For he is a minister of God for your good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God to execute wrath upon the one who does evil. ⁵ Therefore you must be subject, not only to avoid wrath, but also for conscience sake. ⁶ For this reason you also pay taxes: for they are God's ministers, attending continually to this very service. ⁷ Therefore, give to all men what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; revenue to whom revenue; respect to whom respect; honour to whom honour.

²⁴ I hope to see you on my way to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.

¹ I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchreae: ² That you receive her in the Lord, in a manner befitting the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you: for she has been a help to many, and to myself as well. ³ Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus: ⁴ Who have for my life risked their own necks: to whom not only do I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. ⁵ Also greet the church that is in their house. Greet my well-beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert in Asia for Christ. ⁶ Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour upon you. ⁷ Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. ⁸ Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord. ⁹ Greet Urban, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved. ¹⁰ Greet Apelles, tested and approved in Christ. Greet those who are of Aristobulus' household. ¹¹ Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. ¹² Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who laboured much in the Lord. ¹³ Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. ¹⁴ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren who are with them. ¹⁵ Greet Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them. ¹⁶ Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you. ¹⁷ Now I urge you, brethren, take note of those who cause divisions and difficulties, contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.

¹⁷ Now I urge you, brethren, take note of those who cause divisions and difficulties, contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them. ¹⁸ For they do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own bellies; and by smooth words and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the simple. ¹⁹ For your obedience is known to all, and therefore I am glad on your behalf: yet I would have you be wise regarding that which is good, and simple concerning evil. ²⁰ And the God of peace shall soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ²¹ Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, greet you. ²² I Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord. ²³ Gaius, host to me and the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, and our brother Quartus, greet you.

⁴ In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are gathered together, with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, ⁵ Deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? ⁷ Clean out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you really are unleavened. For Christ our passover has been sacrificed for us: ⁸ Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. ⁹ I wrote to you in a letter not to keep company with the sexually immoral: ¹⁰ Not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the covetous, or swindlers, or idolaters; for then you would have to go out of the world. ¹¹ But now I write to you not to keep company with any man who is called a brother if he is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an swindler; with such a one do not even eat. ¹² For what have I to do with judging those who are outside? are you not to judge those who are within? ¹³ Those who are outside God judges. Put out from among yourselves the wicked person.

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexual offenders, ¹⁰ Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁰ Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹ Now regarding things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

¹⁹ For though I am free from all men, yet I have made myself the servant to all, that I might win the more.

¹⁹ For there must be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be made evident among you.

² And if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so that I can remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

⁶ And it may be that I will stay with you a while, or even spend the winter, that you may speed me on my journey, wherever I go.

⁸ But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost, ⁹ For a wide door for effectual work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

¹¹ Therefore, let no man despise him: but send him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I am expecting him with the brethren.

²³ The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

¹³ As it is written, I believed, and therefore I have spoken; so we, with the same spirit of faith, also believe, and therefore speak;

¹² For the performance of this service not only supplies the wants of the saints, but also overflows in many thanksgivings to God. ¹³ Because of the proof given by this service, they will glorify God because of your obedience to the gospel of Christ, which you profess, and for your liberal contribution to them, and to all; ¹⁴ And in their prayers, their hearts will go out to you because of the surpassing grace of God in you. ¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift.

¹ Now I, Paul, urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who am meek in your presence, but bold when I am absent from you.

²⁰ For I fear that when I come, I shall not find you as I wish, and you shall not find me to be as you wish; lest perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of wrath, rivalries, slander, gossip, conceit, disorder:

² The second time I was with you I warned those who have sinned in the past; and now, being absent, I warn them again, and all the others, that, if I come again, I will not spare them,

¹⁶ Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

¹⁶ Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He does not say, And to seeds, as to many; but to one, And to your seed, which is Christ. ¹⁷ And this is what I mean, that the law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant which was previously ratified by God, and thus make the promise void. ¹⁸ For if the inheritance is based on the law, then it is no longer based on a promise: but God gave it to Abraham by a promise. ¹⁹ Then what purpose does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise was made. It was ordained by angels through the hand of a mediator. ²⁰ Now a mediator is not for one party only, but God is one. ²¹ Is the law then against the promises of God? Absolutely not: for if there had been a law given which could impart life, then righteousness truly would have been through the law.

²⁹ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

⁷ Therefore, you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

⁶ For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; but faith which works through love.

¹² I wish those who trouble you would even emasculate themselves.

²⁰ Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, jealousy, fits of rage, selfishness, dissensions, factions,

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

¹ Brethren, if a man is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual, restore him in the spirit of gentleness; considering yourselves, lest you also be tempted.

³ For if a man thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

⁹ And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we do not loose heart. ¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

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

⁶ To the praise of his glorious grace, which he freely bestowed upon us in the beloved. ⁷ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

¹ And you were dead in trespasses and sins; ² In which you walked in times past, according to the ways of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience. ³ Among them we all lived in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, like the others. ⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, ⁵ Even when we were dead in transgressions, has made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;) ⁶ And has raised us up with him, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus: ⁷ That in the ages to come he might show the incomparable riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. ⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹ Not because of works, lest any man should boast.

⁹ Not because of works, lest any man should boast. ¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared beforehand for us to do.

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared beforehand for us to do.

⁸ To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, was this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

² With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love;

²³ And be renewed in the spirit of your minds;

²⁸ Let him who stole, steal no more: but rather let him labour, doing with his hands that which is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and quarreling, and slander, be put away from you, along with all types of malice:

²⁶ That he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water through the word,

²³ Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ Grace be to all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.

¹¹ Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are from Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

⁵ Let your forbearing spirit be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

¹⁷ Not because I desire a gift: but I desire the fruit that increases to your credit.

¹⁰ That you might walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all things, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

²¹ And you who were at one time alienated and enemies in your minds because of wicked deeds,

⁷ And in them you also walked at one time, when you lived in them.

¹⁰ And have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of the one who created him.

¹² Therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on hearts of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; ¹³ Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another. If any man has a complaint against another; just as Christ forgave you, so you do the same.

¹⁸ I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

⁷ But we were gentle among you, as a nursing mother cherishes her children:

⁹ For you remember, brethren, our toil and hardship: we laboured night and day, because we did not want to burden any of you as we preached to you the gospel of God.

¹⁴ Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are idle or unruly, encourage the timid, support the weak, be patient toward all. ¹⁵ See that no one repays another with evil for evil; but always seek that which is good, both for yourselves, and for all men.

⁶ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who is idle and does not walk according to the tradition which you received from us.

⁸ Nor did we eat any man's bread without paying; but with labour and toil we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you:

¹⁴ And if any man will not obey our instruction in this letter, note that man, and do not associate with him, that he may be ashamed.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the commandment of God our Saviour, and of Jesus Christ, our hope; ² To Timothy, my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. ³ As I urged you when I went to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus, that you might warn certain men not to teach any other doctrine, ⁴ Nor to give heed to myths and endless genealogies, which promote useless speculation, rather than godly training, which is by faith. ⁵ Now the aim of this commandment is love from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and a sincere faith:

⁵ Now the aim of this commandment is love from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and a sincere faith: ⁶ From which some have swerved, turning aside to vain discussion; ⁷ Desiring to be teachers of the law; but understanding neither what they say, nor the matters about which they make such confident assertions.

¹⁵ This is a trustworthy saying, and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am the foremost.

¹⁹ Holding on to faith and a good conscience; which some have rejected and so shipwrecked their faith: ²⁰ Among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

² For kings, and for all who are in authority; that we may lead quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and reverence. ³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

³ Not given to wine, not combative, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money;

¹¹ In the same way, the women must be serious, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.

⁶ If you point out all these things to the brethren, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of faith and of good doctrine, which you have been following. ⁷ But have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales, but rather train yourself in godliness;

¹⁰ For this reason we both labour and strive, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those who believe.

¹⁰ Having a reputation for good works; if she has brought up her children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has devoted herself to every good work.

⁶ Therefore, I would remind you to stir into flame the gift of God, which is in you by the laying on of my hands.

⁹ Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not by virtue of our works, but because of his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, ¹⁰ But has now been made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

¹⁴ Remind them of these things, solemnly charging them before the Lord not to dispute about words, which is of no profit, but ruins the hearers.

¹⁶ But avoid godless and empty chatter: for it will lead people to more ungodliness,

²¹ Therefore, if a man purifies himself from the ignoble, he shall be a vessel for noble purposes, consecrated and useful to the master, prepared for every good work.

²³ Have nothing to do with foolish and ignorant controversies, knowing that they breed strife. ²⁴ And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome; but kind to all, able to teach, forbearing, ²⁵ In gentleness correcting those who oppose him; that God might grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth;

² For men shall be lovers of their own selves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ Without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, despisers of good,

⁵ Holding to a form of godliness, but denying its power. From such men turn away.

⁹ Make every effort to come to me shortly:

¹² Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

²¹ Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as do Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. ²² The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.

² Which rests in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the beginning of time; ³ And at the proper time he revealed his word through the preaching which was entrusted to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; ⁴ To Titus, my own child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

⁹ Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to refute those who oppose it.

¹¹ Whose mouths must be stopped, for they are subverting whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for sordid gain.

¹⁴ Not giving heed to Jewish myths, and commandments of men who turn from the truth.

¹⁰ Not to pilfer, but showing entire and true fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. ¹¹ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

¹¹ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

¹³ Looking for the blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ Who gave himself up for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works.

¹ Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do every good work,

⁴ But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared,

⁸ This is a faithful saying; and I want you to affirm these things constantly, that those who have believed in God might be careful to engage in good works. These things are good and profitable for men.

¹⁴ And let our people learn to engage in honest employment, so they may meet urgent needs, and that they may not be unfruitful.

⁵ Because I hear of your love and faith, which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;

¹¹ Who in times past was useless to you, but now is useful both to you and to me.

¹⁶ Therefore, let us boldly approach the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

⁶ If they shall fall away, to be brought back again to repentance; for they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and hold him up to public disgrace.

⁶ If they shall fall away, to be brought back again to repentance; for they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and hold him up to public disgrace. ⁷ For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful for those by whom it is farmed, receives a blessing from God: ⁸ But that which bears thorns and thistles is worthless, and is near to being cursed; its end is to be burned. ⁹ But, beloved, though we speak thus, we are persuaded of better things concerning you, things that accompany salvation. ¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget the work and love which you have shown for his name's sake in having ministered to the saints, as you continue to do. ¹¹ And we desire that every one of you show the same diligence in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end: ¹² That you may not grow slothful, but be followers of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

¹⁷ Therefore God, wanting to show more clearly to the heirs of the promise the immutable nature of his purpose, confirmed it by an oath:

²⁶ For then he would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world: but now he has appeared once at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,

⁷ By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not yet seen, reverently prepared an ark for the saving of his household; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise:

²¹ Equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²⁵ Grace be with you all. Amen.

¹⁹ Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger: ²⁰ For the anger of man does not promote the righteousness of God.

²⁶ If any man among you thinks he is religious, but does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his own heart and his religion is in vain.

⁵ Listen, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

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

¹¹ Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law, and judges the law: but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge of it.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who by his abundant mercy has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

¹⁴ Live as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the lusts of your former ignorance:

²¹ Who through him believe in God, who raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

¹ Therefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisy, and envy, and all kinds of slander,

¹⁰ In times past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God: once you had not obtained mercy, but now you have obtained mercy.

¹³ Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme authority; ¹⁴ Or to governors, as to those who are sent by him to punish evildoers, and to praise those who do well. ¹⁵ For this is the will of God, that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men: ¹⁶ Live as free men, not using your liberty as a cloak for evil, but live as the servants of God. ¹⁷ Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

¹⁷ Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. ¹⁸ Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the perverse.

⁷ Likewise, you husbands, live with your wives considerately, giving honour to the woman as the weaker vessel, since you are heirs together of the grace of life. Do this that your prayers may not be hindered. ⁸ Finally, be of one mind, have sympathy for one another, love as brethren, be compassionate, be humble.

¹⁰ For, He who would love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile:

²¹ This water symbolizes baptism, which now saves us (not by the removal of dirt from the body, but by an appeal of a good conscience to God,) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

¹ Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same mind: for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin; ² That he may live the rest of his time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. ³ For the time past was sufficient for doing the things the Gentiles desire to do: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, revelling, carousing, and abominable idolatries. ⁴ They think it strange that you do not run with them into the same excess of dissipation, and they speak evil of you:

⁸ For if these things are in you, and are increasing, they keep you from being either ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹² Therefore, I will always remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the truth you now have.

¹ But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who secretly shall bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

¹⁰ And particularly those who walk after the flesh in its unclean lusts, and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of the glorious ones.

¹ This is now the second letter, beloved, that I have written to you, in which I stir up your sincere minds by way of remembrance: ² That you may recall the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour given through your apostles:

¹⁰ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself: he who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he does not believe the testimony that God has given regarding his Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. ¹³ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life.

¹ The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not only I, but also all those who know the truth, ² For the sake of the truth, which dwells in us, and shall be with us forever:

¹⁰ If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, or give him any encouragement:

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

⁶ For they have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you shall do well: ⁷ Because for his name's sake they went forth, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. ⁸ Therefore we ought to support such men, that we might be fellow workers in the truth.

⁵ Now I wish to remind you, though you already know all this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

⁸ Likewise, these dreamers defile the flesh, despise authority, and speak evil of the glorious ones.

¹⁰ But these men speak evil of things which they do not understand: but what they know by instinct, like brute beasts, by these things they corrupt themselves.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world: he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

¹⁴ And deceives those who live on the earth by the miracles which he had the power to do in the sight of the beast; bidding those who live on the earth to make an image in honour of the beast, who was wounded by the sword, and yet lived.

² And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great. It has become the dwelling place of devils, and the haunt of every foul spirit, and a haunt of every unclean and loathsome bird.
