²³ When he was in Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover, many believed in his name, seeing his signs that he did, ²⁴ but Jesus did not trust himself to them because he knew all men ²⁵ and had no need for any one to inform him about man, for he knew what was in man.

² This man came to Jesus one night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him."

⁴ Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter into his mother's womb a second time and be born?"

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that every one who believes in him may have life eternal." ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that every one who believes in him may not perish, but have life eternal.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that every one who believes in him may not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

²² After this Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea and there he spent some time with them and baptized.

²⁶ They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you across the Jordan to whom you bore testimony — see, he is baptizing and all are coming to him."

³² What he has seen and heard, that he testifies to, yet no one accepts his testimony.

³ he left Judaea and went back again to Galilee.

⁵ He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. ⁶ Jacob's well was there. Jesus, weary from his journey, sat just as he was on the well. It was about noon. ⁷ There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." ⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. ⁹ The Samaritan woman said to him, "How do you, a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. ¹⁰ Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank of it, himself and his sons and his flocks?"

¹⁴ But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst, but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water, flowing out into life eternal."

¹⁷ The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You say rightly that you have no husband. ¹⁸ Five husbands you have had, and now the man you have is not your husband. You have told the truth about that."

¹⁸ Five husbands you have had, and now the man you have is not your husband. You have told the truth about that."

²¹ Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²³ But the hour is coming — yes, is now here — when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father seeks for such worshipers.

²⁵ The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When he comes he will tell us all things."

²⁵ The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When he comes he will tell us all things." ²⁶ Jesus said to her, "I am he, I who am talking to you." ²⁷ Upon this came his disciples, and they wondered that he was talking with a woman. But no one said, "What do you want?" or, "Why are you talking with her?"

²⁹ "Come, see a man who has told me all that I ever did. Is not this the Christ?" ³⁰ They came out of the city and were on the way to him.

³² He said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know of."

³⁴ Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work.

³⁹ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him on account of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did." ⁴⁰ When the Samaritans came out to him, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. ⁴¹ Many more believed on account of his own words, ⁴² and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard him and we know that this is truly the Savior of the World."

⁴² and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard him and we know that this is truly the Savior of the World."

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed him because they had seen what he did in Jerusalem at the feast. For they, too, had gone to the feast. ⁴⁶ He came again to Cana in Galilee where he had made the water wine. A certain royal officer was there whose son was sick in Capernaum.

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, "Go. Your son is living." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and went.

⁵³ So the father knew that it was at that hour at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son is living," and he believed, himself and his whole household. ⁵⁴ This is the second time that Jesus did a sign just after coming from Judaea to Galilee.

²⁵ Truly, truly, I tell you that the hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

²⁸ Do not wonder at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

³⁰ "I cannot of myself do anything. As I hear I judge and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

³⁶ But I have testimony greater than John's. For the works which the Father has granted to me to accomplish — the very works that I do — witness for me that the Father has sent me.

⁵ He lifted up his eyes and saw that a great crowd was coming to him, and he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these to eat?" ⁶ This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. ⁷ Philip answered him, "Two hundred shillings worth of bread would not be enough for them each to have a little piece."

¹⁴ Then the people, seeing the sign that he had done, said, "This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world!"

²⁶ Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and had your fill. ²⁷ Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to life eternal, which the Son of Man will give you. For him God the Father has sealed."

³³ For the bread of God is he who came down from heaven and gives his life for the world." ³⁴ They said to him, "Sir, always give us this bread." ³⁵ Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never hunger, and he who believes in me will never thirst.

³⁸ for I came down from heaven not to do my will, but the will of him who sent me;

⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the desert and they died.

⁵¹ I am the living bread that comes down from heaven. If any one eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh: I will give it for the life of the world."

⁵⁸ This is the bread that came down from heaven, not such as your fathers ate and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

⁶³ The spirit is what gives life; the flesh is of no account. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, "Sir, to whom shall we go? You have the words of life eternal, ⁶⁹ and we are persuaded and know that you are the Holy One of God."

²⁶ See, he is talking freely and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers know for truth that this is the Christ?

³¹ From the crowd many believed in him and said, "The Christ, when he comes, will not do more signs than this man does, will he?"

³⁷ On the last day, the great day, of the feast Jesus stood and cried out, "If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink. ³⁸ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within him." ³⁹ This he said referring to the Spirit which those who had believed in him were soon to receive. For as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus had not yet been glorified. ⁴⁰ Some from the crowd, on hearing these words, said, "This man is truly the prophet."

⁴⁶ The officers answered, "Never any man spoke as this man speaks."

²⁴ Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins. Unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."

⁴⁸ The Jews answered him, "Do we not say correctly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

⁵³ Are you greater than our father Abraham? And yet he died and the prophets died. Whom do you make yourself out to be?"

¹⁷ They said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" ³⁶ The man answered, "Who is he, Sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him."

³⁶ The man answered, "Who is he, Sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him." ³⁷ Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and it is he who is talking with you."

³⁷ Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and it is he who is talking with you." ³⁸ He said, "I believe, Sir," and bowed down before him.

¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it abundantly.

⁴⁰ and went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was at first when he was baptizing, and he stayed there. ⁴¹ Many came to him and they said, "John did no sign; but all that John said about this man was true." ⁴² Many believed in him there.

⁹ Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks in the day, he does not stumble because he sees the light of this world.

¹⁷ When Jesus came he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb.

²¹ Martha said to Jesus, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died.

²⁶ and no one who lives and believes in me will ever die. Do you believe this?"

³² When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died."

⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?"

⁴⁵ Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed in him.

⁵⁴ So Jesus no more walked about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wild lands, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with his disciples.

²³ Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

³⁷ But, though he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him,

⁶ Jesus said to him, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

¹⁶ and I will ask the Father and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever — ¹⁷ the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot accept because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him because he abides with you and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you. ¹⁹ After a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I am living you too will live.

²⁴ If I had not done among them works which no other did, they would not have sin. But now they have seen and have hated both me and my Father.

² They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when every one who kills you will think that he is offering a sacrifice to God. ³ These things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me.

³² Indeed the hour is coming — it has come — for each one of you to be scattered to his own and leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

² as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he may give life eternal to all that thou hast given him. ³ This is life eternal, to know thee, the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.

³ This is life eternal, to know thee, the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ. ⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth by completing the work that thou gavest me to do.

⁸ For the words that thou didst give me I have given them, and they have accepted them and have perceived truly that I came forth from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that now all things had been completed, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled said, "I am thirsty."

³⁰ When Jesus had taken the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and bowing his head gave up his spirit.

²⁹ Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

² There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called Didymus (the Twin), and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee and two other disciples.

¹⁷ He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Master, you know all things. You know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

⁸ But you will receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and in Samaria and to the ends of the earth."

¹⁹ I will give portents in heaven above and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

²² Fellow Israelites, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene was a man proved to be sent to you from God by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through him in the midst of you, as you yourselves know.

³⁹ For the promise belongs to you and to your children and to all those who are far off, as many as the Lord your God may call."

⁴¹ Those who accepted his message were baptized, and there were added on that day about three thousand souls.

⁴³ Awe came on every soul. Many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

⁴ But many of those who had heard the message believed, and the number of the men grew to be about five thousand.

¹² Nor is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

³⁰ while thou dost stretch out thine hand for healing and while signs and wonders are done through the name of thy holy servant Jesus."

³² The multitude of those who had believed was of one heart and one soul, and no one said that any part of his property was his own, but they had all things in common.

¹² Many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the apostles. They were all with one purpose in Solomon's Colonnade.

¹⁴ Believers in the Lord were more and more being added, crowds both of men and of women,

⁷ The message of God continued to spread and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, and even a great body of the priests were obedient to the faith. ⁸ Stephen, full of grace and of power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.

¹⁴ We have heard him say that this Jesus, the Nazarene, will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses handed down to us."

³⁶ This man led them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and at the Red Sea and in the wilderness for forty years.

⁴ Those who were scattered went to various places telling the good news. ⁵ Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them. ⁶ The crowds with one mind gave attention to what was said by Philip, listening to his words and seeing the signs that he did. ⁷ For impure spirits came out shrieking from many who had been possessed, and many paralytic and lame people were healed. ⁸ There was great rejoicing in that city.

¹² But when they believed Philip, who was telling the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

¹⁴ When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the message of God, they sent to them Peter and John. ¹⁵ They on arrival prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For the Spirit had not yet fallen on any one of them; they had merely been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.

²⁵ So when they had borne their testimony and had spoken the message of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, telling the good news in many villages of the Samaritans.

¹¹ The Lord said to him, "Rise and go to the street called Straight street, and ask in the house of Judas for a man named Saul from Tarsus. He is now in prayer,

³⁸ Since Lydda was near to Joppa and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him begging him, "Do not delay to come on down to us."

²⁸ He said to them, "You understand that it is against our Law for a Jew to be closely associated with a Gentile or to visit him. But God has taught me not to call any person common or unclean.

³³ Immediately I sent to you and you have done well in coming. Now here we all are in God's presence to hear all that the Lord has commanded you."

³⁶ As to the message which he sent to the children of Israel telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ — who is Lord of all — ³⁷ you know the story that spread through all Judaea. It began in Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed. ³⁸ You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were harassed by the Devil, for God was with him.

⁴² God commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify that he is the divinely appointed Judge of the living and the dead. ⁴³ All of the prophets testify to this, that every one who believes in him obtains forgiveness of sins through his name."

⁴⁸ And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain there a few days.

¹⁴ He will speak to you words by which you and your whole household will be saved.'

⁴² As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people begged that these words might be spoken to them on the next Sabbath.

³ Therefore the apostles spent considerable time speaking freely and fearlessly in reliance upon the Lord, who bore witness to his gracious message by permitting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁹ He was listening to Paul as he was speaking. Paul fixed his eyes on him, and, seeing that he had faith to be healed, ¹⁰ said in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet." He sprang up and walked about.

³ So they were sent on by the church and passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles, which caused great joy to all the brethren.

¹² The whole assembly remained silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders that God had done through them among the Gentiles.

¹⁵ When she had been baptized along with her household, she begged us, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay," and she insisted on our doing so.

³⁰ and led them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?" ³¹ They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, and your household," ³² and they told the message of God to him and to all who were in his house. ³³ He took them at that hour of the night and washed their stripes. Then he was baptized, he and all of his household, immediately. ³⁴ He brought them into his house and spread the table for them, and rejoiced with his whole family because he had believed in God.

³⁴ He brought them into his house and spread the table for them, and rejoiced with his whole family because he had believed in God.

¹¹ These people were nobler than those in Thessalonica. They welcomed the message with all readiness and examined the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. ¹² Consequently many of them believed, and also not a few Greeks; women of high standing and men.

²³ For in passing about and contemplating your sacred objects I came upon an altar on which was inscribed, 'To an unknown God.' What you are worshiping in ignorance — that I am making known to you.

³⁰ The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to change,

⁸ Crispus, the synagogue Director, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard believed and were baptized.

³⁵ In all things I showed you that so laboring we ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

²⁸ Therefore be it known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles. They will listen."

⁹ For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of his Son, is my witness how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers

¹³ I am not willing that you should be ignorant, brethren, that often I have purposed to come to you (though until now I have been hindered), in order that I might have some fruit among you as among the other Gentiles.

¹ WHAT then is the advantage of the Jew, or what is the benefit of circumcision? ² Much in every way. First, they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

²⁰ Still he did not hesitate through want of faith in the promise of God, but was strong in faith, thus giving glory to God, ²¹ and was fully confident that what God had promised he was able to perform.

²⁰ But law came in alongside that the fall might be greater; but where sin became greater grace became greater still, ²¹ in order that as sin reigned in death grace might reign through righteousness and issue in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²² But now freed from sin and having become servants of God you have your fruit in holy living and its outcome, life eternal. ²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.

³ Therefore while her husband is living she is called an adulteress if she becomes another man's. But if her husband dies she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress when she becomes another man's.

⁵ For those who are living according to the flesh have their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are living according to the spirit have their minds on the things of the spirit.

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. 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.

²⁶ Thus also the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with sighs beyond words.

³² He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not with him graciously give us all things?

⁴ who are Israelites, whose is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the reception of the law and the worship and the promises; ⁵ whose are the fathers and from whom by physical descent the Christ came. God who is over all be blessed through the ages! Amen.

¹¹ For the Scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame." ¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Greek. For there is the same Lord of all, rich toward all who call upon him. ¹³ For "Every one who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

²⁰ And Isaiah makes bold to say, "I was found by those who were not seeking me: I became manifest to those who were not inquiring for me." ²¹ But to Israel he says, "All day long I stretched forth my hands to a people who disobey and answer back."

⁸ For I say that Christ became a servant of circumcision for the sake of God's truth, in order to confirm the promises given to the fathers

¹⁹ through the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the good news of Christ,

¹³ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I am thankful that I baptized no one of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ I baptized also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know that I baptized any one else. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the good news — not in wisdom of words, that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of meaning.

²² Jews ask for signs and Greeks seek for wisdom,

³⁰ By God's act you are in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God and righteousness and holiness and deliverance,

⁴ and my speech and my proclamation were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but with spiritual and powerful proof, ⁵ that your faith might not depend on the wisdom of man but on the power of God.

⁸ None of the rulers of this world knew it, for if they had known it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

¹⁴ But the animal man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them because they are spiritually understood.

⁵ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to faith, as the Lord granted to each of us. ⁶ I planted, Apollos watered, but God made the seed grow. ⁷ So then neither is he who planted anything nor he who watered, but God who makes the seed grow. ⁸ Each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. ⁹ We are God's fellow workers: you are God's farm God's building.

¹⁰ To the married I command — yet not I, but the Lord — that the wife is not to leave her husband ¹¹ (if she leaves him let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband) and the husband is not to put away his wife.

¹⁹ For though I am free from all I have enslaved myself to all that I may gain the more. ²⁰ I became to the Jews a Jew, to gain the Jews; to those under law as under law, though not myself under law, to gain those who are under law. ²¹ To those without law, I became as without law, though not without the law of God and under the law of Christ, to gain those who are without law. ²² To the weak I became weak to gain the weak. To all men I became all things in order by all means to save some. ²³ I do all things for the sake of the good news that I may become a partner with it.

⁴ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

²⁴ But if all prophesy and any unbeliever or ordinary man comes in, he is convinced by all, he is judged by all, ²⁵ the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so falling on his face he worships God, declaring that God is really among you.

⁴⁷ The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

¹² For this is what we boast of, the witness of our conscience that in holiness, and sincerity before God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have lived in the world and especially toward you.

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

¹⁷ The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.

⁵ For we are not proclaiming ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

¹⁹ to proclaim that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting against men their sins, and that he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

¹ AS God's fellow workers we also beg you not to receive his grace fruitlessly. ² For he says, "At a favorable time I heard you and on a day of salvation I helped you." Now is a particularly favorable time, now is a day of salvation.

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sake he became poor, that you by his poverty might become rich.

¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

¹² The signs of an apostle were performed among you in all patience by miracles and wonders and deeds of power.

⁶ Because you are sons, God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son crying Abba, Father.

¹³ In him you also, after hearing the message of the truth, the good news of your salvation, and putting your faith in him, were sealed by the promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴ which is the pledge of our inheritance in anticipation of the full redemption of God's own people to the praise of his glory.

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

¹⁸ For through him we, both Jews and Gentiles, have access through one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁴ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father

³⁰ Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.

¹⁸ Pray at all times in the Spirit with all manner of prayer and entreaty; be awake to this with all intentness and with prayer for all the holy

¹⁵ that you may be blameless and pure, children of God, spotless in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world, ¹⁶ holding forth the message of life, so that on the day of Christ I can boast that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

³ For we are the circumcision, we who worship in the Spirit of God and exult in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

¹⁹ For what is our hope or joy or crown to boast of before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?

⁹ For his coming will be when Satan is active in every sort of power and in false signs and wonders

¹⁷ To the King of the ages, the immortal, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for the ages of the ages! Amen.

⁸ I wish, then, that the men offer prayer in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath or debate.

¹⁰ For to this end we are laboring and wrestling, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

¹⁶ Be thoughtful about yourself and your teaching. Persevere in this; for in doing so you will save yourself and those who hear you.

⁷ I have played the grand hard game, I have finished my race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Now the crown of righteousness is awaiting me. The Lord the righteous judge will give it to me on that day, and not only to me but to all those who have loved his appearing.

⁴ while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and many kinds of miracles and impartation of the Holy Spirit according to his will?

¹⁷ And for that reason he had to be made like his brethren in everything, so as to be a compassionate and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

³ For he has been thought worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who has built a house has more honor than the house.

¹³ There is not a creature invisible to him, but all things are naked and defenseless before the eyes of him to whom we must account.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, for he has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

¹⁴ For it is plain that our Lord has arisen from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

¹⁹ He reasoned that God was able to raise him even from the dead, and figuratively he did win him back from the dead.

² looking to Jesus the beginner and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured a cross, thinking little of the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

⁴ Let marriage be held in honor by all and let the bed be undefiled; for unchaste persons and adulterers God will judge.

¹ MY brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality for persons.

³ You ask and do not receive, because you ask wickedly to waste it on your pleasures.

¹⁹ My brethren, if one of you strays from the truth and any one brings him back, ²⁰ I wish you to know that he who brings back a sinner from his wanderings will save his soul from death and will hide a host of sins.

¹¹ inquired and searched, trying to find out what time, or what sort of time, the Spirit of Christ which was in them was disclosing when it witnessed beforehand regarding the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. ¹² It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who have told you the good news by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven — things which angels earnestly long to look into.

¹⁷ And if you call upon him as Father who impartially judges by each one's work, live out the time of your sojourn here in reverence,

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,

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may proclaim the virtues of him who called you from darkness into his wonderful light.

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

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 But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, ²¹ must keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you into life eternal.

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.

²³ and her children I will surely kill. All the churches shall know that I am he who searches hearts and will give to each of you according to your deeds.

¹⁷ Because you say, 'I am rich and have grown wealthy and lack nothing,' and do not know that you are wretched and pitiable and poor and blind and naked, ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments to put on, so that the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.

²⁰ See, I am standing at the door and knocking. If any one listens to my voice and opens his door, I will come in with him and will feast with him and he with me.

¹⁶ They will not hunger any more nor thirst any more, nor will the sun strike on them nor any burning heat, ¹⁷ for the Lamb who is in the center before the throne will be their shepherd and will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

¹⁶ He has on his robe and on his thigh a name written, "King of kings and Lord of lords."

⁶ He said to me, "They have come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him who is thirsting I will give from the spring of the water of life freely.

¹ THEN he showed me a river of water of life bright as crystal, issuing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. ² In the space between the street and the river, on this side and on that, grew trees of life bearing twelve kinds of fruit, and yielding their fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

¹⁷ The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." Let him who hears say, "Come." Let him who thirsts come. Let him who will take the water of life freely.
