²² I delight in the Law in my inner man,

¹⁵ For you did not receive a spirit of bondage leading again to fear, but you received a spirit of sonship, in which we cry, Abba, Father. ¹⁶ The Spirit itself witnesses with our spirits that we are children of God.

¹⁶ The Spirit itself witnesses with our spirits that we are children of God. ¹⁷ And if children, we are also heirs — heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ, since we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him.

³⁵ Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall trial or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ³⁶ (As it is written, "For thy sake we are killed all the day.

²² and sealed us and has given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

⁴ in whom the god of this world has blinded the thinking of the unbelieving so that the light of the glorious good news of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine in.

⁶ Because it is the God who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts bringing the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the face of Christ.

¹ FOR we know that if this tent, our earthly home, is thrown down, we have a building of God, a home not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

¹⁷ So if any one is in Christ he is a new creature. The old things have passed away, they have become new.

¹⁶ What agreement has the Temple of God with idols? For we are the Temple of the living God, as God said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people. ¹⁷ Therefore come out from the midst of them and be separate, says the Lord, and do not touch an unclean thing, and I will receive you

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

⁴ who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present wicked world according to the will of our God and Father!

¹² in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in him.

¹⁸ may be able with all the holy to comprehend what is the breadth and length and height and depth —

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, ²⁶ that he might make it holy, cleansing it by the washing with water according to his word, ²⁷ that he might present to himself the church glorious, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and faultless.

⁹ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness that was from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God and rests on faith,

⁴ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have to all the holy

⁴ For it is impossible for those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit

⁴ For it is impossible for those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit ⁵ and have tasted God's word and the powers of the coming world, ⁶ and then have fallen away, to have again a change of heart, since they are crucifying for themselves afresh the Son of God and putting him to open shame.

¹⁸ that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to be false, we might have strong encouragement, we who have fled to lay hold on the hope that lies before us.

¹⁰ This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts and I will be their God and they will be my people.

⁷ but into the second part the High Priest alone goes once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins ignorantly committed by the people.

¹⁴ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through an eternal Spirit offered himself an unblemished sacrifice to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works for the service of the living God.

²⁶ For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there remains no longer any sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ but a dreadful expectation of doom and a fury of fire that will devour the opposers. ²⁸ Any one who sets aside a law of Moses dies without pity on the testimony of two or three witnesses. ²⁹ Of how much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, who has thought the blood of the covenant, by which it was made holy, an unholy thing, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

²⁹ Of how much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, who has thought the blood of the covenant, by which it was made holy, an unholy thing, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." ³¹ It is dreadful to fall into the hands of the living God.

³⁵ Do not, then, cast away your confidence, for it will have a great reward.

²⁴ and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant and to the sprinkled blood which tells something better than the blood of Abel.

¹² For this reason Jesus also, to make the people holy by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.

²⁰ May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of an eternal covenant,

⁵ If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask it from God, who gives to all freely without reproaching, and it will be given to him. ⁶ But he must ask in faith with never a doubt. For he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

¹⁵ Then when passion has conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full grown, gives birth to death.

¹⁸ Of his own will he made us his children through the message of truth, so that we might be a sort of first fruits of his creatures.

²⁷ Pure and stainless religion in the sight of God the Father is to visit orphans and widows in their trouble and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

³ You ask and do not receive, because you ask wickedly to waste it on your pleasures. ⁴ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever chooses to be a friend to the world stands as an enemy of God.

⁷ Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Make your hands clean, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. ⁹ Be sorrowful and mourn and lament. Let your laughter be turned into grief and your gladness into gloom. ¹⁰ Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

¹⁴ Is any one of you sick? Let him call in the elders of the church and let them pray over him and anoint him with olive oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ The prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins they will be forgiven him. ¹⁶ Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another in order to be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man has great power.

² chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and made holy by the Spirit to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace be to you and peace be multiplied. ³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead —

²² Now that you have made your souls holy by obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, you must love one another steadily from your hearts, ²³ for you have been reborn, not from mortal seed but from immortal by the living and enduring word of God.

²³ for you have been reborn, not from mortal seed but from immortal by the living and enduring word of God.

²¹ This is a type of baptism, which now saves us — not the putting off of soil from the flesh, but the endeavor for a good conscience toward God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

¹² By Silvanus, your faithful brother, as I esteem him, I am writing to you briefly, to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Take your stand in it.

¹⁰ Therefore endeavor more earnestly, brethren, to make sure that you have been called and chosen. For while doing these things you will never stumble. ¹¹ For so entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you.

¹⁹ Thus have we the words of the prophets confirmed, and you will do well to give attention to them as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

²⁰ For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they have been again entangled and overcome, their last state has become worse than the first. ²¹ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment that has been committed to them. ²² That has happened to them which the true proverb says, "The dog returns to his own vomit and the sow after bathing returns to wallowing in the mire."

¹ WHAT was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and our hands touched — it is about the Word of Life

¹ WHAT was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and our hands touched — it is about the Word of Life

¹ WHAT was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and our hands touched — it is about the Word of Life ² (the Life appeared and we saw and testify to it and tell you of the Life eternal which was with the Father and appeared to us) —

² (the Life appeared and we saw and testify to it and tell you of the Life eternal which was with the Father and appeared to us) — ³ what wo have seen and heard we are telling you also, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. ⁴ We are writing this that our joy may be complete.

⁷ If we live in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

¹⁰ If we say, "We have not sinned," we make him a liar and his message is not in us.

¹ MY children, I am writing this to you in order that you may not sin. Even if any one sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is righteous.

³ By this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commands.

⁵ But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the love of God has been made perfect. By this we know that we are in him. ⁶ He who says that he is abiding in him ought himself to live as he lived.

¹⁰ He who loves his brother remains in the light and there is no stumbling block in him.

¹³ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have come to know the Father.

¹³ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have come to know the Father. ¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One.

¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One. ¹⁵ Do not love the world nor the things that are in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; ¹⁶ for all that is in the world, the passions of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the show and pride of life, is not from the Father, but from the world. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away with its passions. But he who does the will of God endures forever.

²¹ I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it and know that no lie is from the truth. ²² Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. ²³ No one who denies the Son has the Father either. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

²³ No one who denies the Son has the Father either. He who confesses the Son has the Father also. ²⁴ Let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

²⁴ Let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is the promise that he has promised us — the life eternal. ²⁶ I am writing this to you in regard to those who are misleading you.

²⁸ And now, little children, remain in him so that if he appears we may have confidence and not shrink in shame from him at his coming. ²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does righteousness has been born of him.

³ And every one who has this hope set upon Christ purifies himself just as Christ is pure. ⁴ Every one who commits sin commits also lawlessness; for sin is lawlessness.

⁹ No one who has been born of God commits sin, for God's life-giving germ remains in him and he cannot continue sinning, because he has been born of God.

¹² Not like Cain, who was of the Wicked One and killed his brother. And for what reason did he kill him? Because his own deeds were wicked and his brother's righteous.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death into life because we love the brethren. Whoever does not love remains in death.

¹⁷ But if any one has this world's goods and sees his brother in need and shuts away his sympathies from him, how can the love of God remain in him?

²¹ Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us we have confidence toward God, ²² and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commands and do what is pleasing in his sight.

²² and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commands and do what is pleasing in his sight. ²³ And this is his command — to believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he has given us command.

²³ And this is his command — to believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he has given us command. ²⁴ He who keeps his commands remains in God and God remains in him. By this we know that God remains in us — by the Spirit which he has given to us.

²⁴ He who keeps his commands remains in God and God remains in him. By this we know that God remains in us — by the Spirit which he has given to us.

² By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

⁴ But you are of God, little children, and have conquered them, because he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.

⁴ But you are of God, little children, and have conquered them, because he who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. ⁵ They belong to the world and for that reason they speak as the world speaks and the world listens to them. ⁶ We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us: whoever is not of God does not listen to us. In this way we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

⁶ We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us: whoever is not of God does not listen to us. In this way we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. ⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and every one who loves has been born of God and knows God.

⁹ By this the love of God to us was made plain: that God sent his only Son into the world so that we may have life through him. ¹⁰ In this is love — not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

¹⁴ We have seen and we bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

¹⁴ We have seen and we bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. ¹⁵ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

¹⁵ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God. ¹⁶ We have come to know and have put our trust in the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God and God remains in him.

²⁰ If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. ²¹ This command we have from him, that he who loves God shall love his brother also.

¹ EVERY one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and every one who loves the father who gave him life loves every one who has received life from that father.

⁴ because all that is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith. ⁵ Who is the conqueror of the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? ⁶ This is he who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ. Not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

⁶ This is he who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ. Not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth. ⁷ TEXT OMITTED

⁷ TEXT OMITTED ⁸ For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in accord.

¹⁰ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony within himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he has not believed the testimony which God has borne regarding his Son.

¹⁰ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony within himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar; because he has not believed the testimony which God has borne regarding his Son. ¹¹ This is the testimony: that God has given to us life eternal and this life is in his Son.

¹¹ This is the testimony: that God has given to us life eternal and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life. ¹³ I am writing this to you so that you may know that you have life eternal, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

¹³ I am writing this to you so that you may know that you have life eternal, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

¹⁶ If any one sees his brother committing a sin that is not deadly, he must ask and God will give him life for those who are committing sin that is not deadly. There is sin that is deadly. I do not say that he should pray in behalf of that.

¹⁸ We know that every one who has been born of God lives without sinning, but he who was born of God keeps him, and the Evil One does not lay hold of him.

¹⁸ We know that every one who has been born of God lives without sinning, but he who was born of God keeps him, and the Evil One does not lay hold of him. ¹⁹ We know that we are of God and the whole world lies in the Evil One. ²⁰ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true and in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life eternal.

²⁰ We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true and in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life eternal. ²¹ Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

⁶ This is love: to live by his commands. This is the command, as you heard from the beginning that you must live by it.

⁹ Every one who goes forward and does not remain in the teaching of Christ is without God. He who remains in the teaching, he has the Father and the Son.

¹² Testimony has been borne to Demetrius by all and by the truth itself. We too bear testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

²¹ must keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you into life eternal.

⁴ John to the seven Churches 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 that are before his throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood,

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood,

⁷ Let him who has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.

¹¹ Let him who has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.

¹³ I know where you live, where the throne of Satan is. Yet you are holding fast my name and did not disown faith in me even in the days when Antipas, my faithful witness, was killed beside you where Satan lives.

¹⁷ Let him who has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

²⁶ He who conquers and keeps my commands to the end — I will give him authority over the nations,

²⁸ And I will give him the morning star.

⁵ He who conquers shall be thus clothed in white garments, and I will not erase his name from the book of life, but will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

⁷ "To the Angel of the Church in Philadelphia write: "These things says the Holy, the True, he who has the key of David, who opens and no one shuts and who shuts and no one opens: ⁸ "I know your deeds. See, I have set before you an opened door which no one can shut, because you have a little power and you have kept my word and have not disowned my name. ⁹ See, I will make those from the synagogue of Satan, men who call themselves Jews when they are not but are lying — I will make them come and bow down before your feet and they shall know that I have loved you. ¹⁰ Because you have kept my command of patient endurance, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which is about to come on all the world, to try the inhabitants of the earth.

¹² He who conquers — I will make him a pillar in the Temple of my God and he will never go out, and I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down from heaven from my God, and I will write on him my own new name.

¹⁴ "To the Angel of the Church in Laodicea write: "These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

²¹ He who conquers — to him I will grant to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.

⁹ Then they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and didst ransom for God by thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

¹⁰ They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Ruler holy and true, wilt thou delay to judge and take vengeance for our blood upon those who dwell on the earth?"

¹⁴ I said to him, "My Lord, you know." He said to me, "These have come out of the great distress and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

²⁰ But the rest of men, who were not killed by these plagues, neither repented of the deeds of their hands nor ceased worshiping the demons and their idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk,

⁹ Then was hurled down the great Dragon, the ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, who misleads the whole world — he was hurled to the earth and his angels were hurled with him.

¹¹ But they have conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of testimony to him, and they loved not their lives even to death.

¹⁷ Then the Dragon was enraged against the woman and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring who keep the commands of God and hold the testimony concerning Jesus.

⁷ It was granted to the Beast to make war with the holy and to conquer them, and power was granted to him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. ⁸ All the inhabitants of the earth will worship him, all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the slain Iamb's Book of Life.

¹⁴ It leads astray the inhabitants of the earth because of the signs which it has been granted power to do in the presence of the Beast. It tells the inhabitants of the earth to make an image of the Beast which was wounded by the sword, yet lived. ¹⁵ Power was granted to it to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast spoke and it caused all who did not worship the image of the Beast to be put to death.

¹¹ And the smoke of their torture will ascend for ages of ages and they will have no rest day or night — those who worship the Beast and his image, and any one who receives the mark of his name."

² Then I saw what was like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had come victorious from the Beast and his image and the number of his name standing by the glassy sea with harps of God. ³ They were singing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and wonderful are thy works, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are thy ways, O King of the nations.

¹¹ Then I saw heaven open and there was a white horse, and he who was sitting on it was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

¹³ and he is clothed in a garment dipped in blood and his name has been called The Word of God.

³ and flung him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he should not mislead the nations until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

⁷ When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison ⁸ and will come out to mislead the nations that are at the four corners of the earth — Gog and Magog — and gather them to battle in number like the sand of the sea.

¹ THEN he showed me a river of water of life bright as crystal, issuing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
