Romans 10 Cross References - Riverside

¹ BRETHREN, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. ² For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not an intelligent one. ³ For, ignorant of God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God's righteousness. ⁴ For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to every believer. ⁵ For Moses writes that he who does the righteousness of the Law shall live by it. ⁶ But the righteousness of faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven?' that is, to bring Christ down — " ⁷ or, 'Who shall descend into the abyss?' " — that is, to bring up Christ from the dead. ⁸ But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" — that is, the word of faith which we are proclaiming, ⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart a man believes and becomes righteous, and with the mouth he confesses and attains salvation. 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.

How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without some one to proclaim him? ¹⁵ How shall they proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" ¹⁶ But have not all heard the good news? For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" ¹⁷ So then faith comes from the report and report comes through the word of Christ. ¹⁸ But I say, it cannot be true that they have not heard, can it? On the contrary, "Their sound has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the world." ¹⁹ I say, it cannot be that Israel did not know, can it? First Moses says, "I will excite you to jealousy by what is not a nation and by a foolish nation I will provoke you to anger." 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."

He said to them, 'You go too into my vineyard.' ⁸ When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the laborers and pay their hire, beginning with the last and going on to the first.' ⁹ When those who were hired about five o'clock came, they received a shilling apiece, ¹⁰ and when those who were hired first came, they thought that they would get more. But they too received a shilling apiece. ¹¹ When they received it, they grumbled at the householder ¹² and said, 'These last worked one hour and you have made them equal to us who bore the burden of the day and the heat.' ¹³ But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not wronging you. Did you not agree with me for a shilling? ¹⁴ Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last man the same as to you. ¹⁵ Have I not the right to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good?' ¹⁶ So the last will be first and the first last."

Come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.' ³⁹ So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. ⁴⁰ When, therefore, the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those grape-growers?" ⁴¹ They said to him, "He will put those miserable men to a miserable death, and will let out the vineyard to other grape-growers who will render him the fruits in their seasons." ⁴² Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, that one has become the corner stone. This stone came from the Lord and is wonderful in our eyes'? ⁴³ Therefore I tell you the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation that produces the fruits.

³ He sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the wedding, but they would not come. ⁴ Again he sent other servants, telling them, 'Say to those who have been invited, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fat things have been killed and everything is ready. Come to the wedding.' ⁵ But they paid no attention, and went off one to his field and another to his trading. ⁶ The rest seized his servants, treated them roughly, and killed them. ⁷ Then the king grew angry and sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city.

Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues and will persecute from city to city, ³⁵ so that all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the Temple and the altar, may come on you. ³⁶ I tell you truly all this will come on this generation. ³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you, how often would I fain have gathered your children as a bird gathers her nestlings under her wings, and you would not.

⁸ And God, who knows all hearts, bore witness to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us. ⁹ He made no difference between us and them in cleansing their hearts by faith.

³¹ They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, and your household,"

²⁸ shouting, "Men of Israel, help. This is the man who teaches everybody everywhere against our people and the Law and this place, and moreover, he has brought Greeks into the Temple courts and has desecrated this holy place."

³ "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus, in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel in exact knowledge of our ancestral Law, and I was zealous for God as you all are to-day.

⁵ through whom we obtained grace and apostleship to promote obedience of faith for the sake of his name,

⁸ First of all I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is spoken of through all the world.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the good news. It is the power of God for salvation to every one who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the good news. It is the power of God for salvation to every one who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. ¹⁷ For a righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, as it is written, "He who is righteous by faith shall live."

¹⁷ For a righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, as it is written, "He who is righteous by faith shall live."

²¹ For although they knew God they did not glorify him as God and did not give him thanks, but fell into futile speculations and their stupid hearts were darkened. ²² Boasting of being wise, they became fools

⁴ Or do you despise the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the kindness of God is calling you to a change of heart?

⁸ But to those of a partisan spirit who do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and hot anger.

³ For what if some were faithless, will their faithlessness prevent the faithfulness of God?

²² a righteousness from God through faith in Jesus Christ for all believers. For there is no difference.

²⁵ whom God has set forth as a propitiation by his blood through faith, for the manifestation of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previous sins in the forbearance of God —

²⁵ whom God has set forth as a propitiation by his blood through faith, for the manifestation of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previous sins in the forbearance of God — ²⁶ for a manifestation at the present time of his righteousness, that he may himself be righteous and may accept as righteous him who has faith in Jesus.

²⁶ for a manifestation at the present time of his righteousness, that he may himself be righteous and may accept as righteous him who has faith in Jesus. ²⁷ Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? That of works? No, but by the law of faith. ²⁸ For we reason that a man is pronounced righteous by faith aside from works of law. ²⁹ Does God belong to the Jews only? Does he not belong also to the Gentiles? Yes, to the Gentiles,

²⁹ Does God belong to the Jews only? Does he not belong also to the Gentiles? Yes, to the Gentiles, ³⁰ if God is one and will pronounce the circumcision righteous by faith and the uncircumcision righteous through faith.

³⁰ if God is one and will pronounce the circumcision righteous by faith and the uncircumcision righteous through faith. ³¹ Do we then by faith nullify the Law? Never. On the contrary we establish the Law.

¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of faith that he had in uncircumcision, so that he should be the father of all who believe while uncircumcised, and righteousness should be credited to them; ¹² and the father of the circumcised, that is, of those who are not only circumcised, but who walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while uncircumcised. ¹³ It was not through the Law that the promise came to Abraham or to his descendants that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

²⁵ who was delivered up on account of our sins and was raised again that we might be accounted righteous.

¹⁹ For as by the disobedience of the one man the many were set down as sinners, so by the obedience of the one the many will be set down as righteous.

¹⁷ Thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin you became obedient from the heart to the type of teaching in which you were instructed.

¹ ARE you ignorant, brethren, for I am speaking to those who know law, that the Law rules over a person while he is living? ² For a married woman is by law bound to her husband while he is living. But if the husband dies, she is freed from the law of her husband. 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. ⁴ So, my brethren, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ, that you might become wedded to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit to God.

¹⁰ and the commandment which meant life was found to mean death.

³ For, what was impossible for the Law, because it was weak through the flesh — God, sending his own Son in the form of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned the sin that is in the flesh, ⁴ so that the righteousness required by the Law might be fulfilled in us who live not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

³⁴ Who is there to condemn? Christ Jesus died, or rather was raised, and he is on the right hand of God interceding for us.

¹ I AM speaking the truth in Christ; I am saying nothing false; my conscience bears witness with me in the Holy Spirit ² that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart. ³ For I could wish myself to be accursed and cast away from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

²³ and in order to make known the richness of his glory upon the vessels of mercy which he had prepared for glory ²⁴ called us not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

³⁰ What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained righteousness, the righteousness of faith,

³⁰ What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained righteousness, the righteousness of faith,

³⁰ What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained righteousness, the righteousness of faith, ³¹ but Israel pursuing after the Law of righteousness did not attain to the Law.

³¹ but Israel pursuing after the Law of righteousness did not attain to the Law. ³² Why? Because they pursued it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over that stumbling stone, ³³ as it is written, "See, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone, a rock to trip over, but he who has faith in him will never be put to shame."

³ For, ignorant of God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God's righteousness.

⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.

¹⁴ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without some one to proclaim him?

¹⁷ So then faith comes from the report and report comes through the word of Christ. ¹⁸ But I say, it cannot be true that they have not heard, can it? On the contrary, "Their sound has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the world."

¹¹ I say, then, have they stumbled just in order that they may fall? Never. But by their fall salvation comes to the Gentiles so as to arouse the emulation of the Jews.

¹⁴ if in any way I may arouse to emulation my own kindred and save some of them —

¹⁷ If some of the branches were broken off and you, who are a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a sharer in the root and rich sap of the olive,

⁹ For to this end Christ died and lived again, in order that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

¹¹ For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me and every tongue shall confess to God."

¹² And again Isaiah says, "There will be a root of Jesse, and one who rises to rule Gentiles: in him Gentiles will hope."

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,

²⁵ To him who is able to make you strong according to the good news which I bear, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, and according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret through ages, ²⁶ but now made manifest through the prophetic Scriptures by the command of the eternal God, to promote obedience to the faith made known to all the Gentiles —

²⁶ but now made manifest through the prophetic Scriptures by the command of the eternal God, to promote obedience to the faith made known to all the Gentiles —

² to the Church of God in Corinth, made holy in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

¹² I mean that each of you is saying, "I belong to Paul," "I belong to Apollos," "I belong to Cephas," or, "I belong to Christ."

¹⁸ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and I will bring to nought the prudence of the prudent." ²⁰ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹ For when in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased to save through the foolishness of our proclamation those who believe. ²² Jews ask for signs and Greeks seek for wisdom, ²³ but we proclaim Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, to Gentiles folly, ²⁴ but to those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

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

²⁹ But this I say, brethren: The time is shortened. For what remains let those who have wives be as if they had none,

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.

¹⁹ What then am I saying? That meat sacrificed to idols is anything or that an idol is anything?

²² Have you not homes to eat and drink in? Or do you mean to show contempt for the church of God and put to shame those who have no homes? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? For this I do not praise you.

² For you know that when you were Gentiles you were led away after the dumb idols just as might happen. ³ Therefore I inform you that no one speaking in the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except in the Holy Spirit.

²⁸ God placed some in the church first as apostles, secondly as prophets, thirdly as teachers, then miracle-workers, then those with gifts of healing, helpers, administrators, speakers of different kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle-workers?

¹⁴ If Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is an empty thing and your faith is an empty thing. ¹⁵ And we are found false witnesses of God because we testified regarding God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise if the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised. ¹⁷ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

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

⁵⁰ But I say this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor will decay inherit imperishability.

¹⁷ For we are not, like the most, adulterating the message of God for gain, but in sincerity, as from God, in the presence of God, we speak in Christ.

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.

¹⁸ And all things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given to us the service of reconciliation — 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. ²⁰ So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing to you through us. We pray you on Christ's behalf to be reconciled to God. ²¹ Him who knew no sin God made sin for our sake that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

³ For according to their ability, I bear witness, and beyond their ability, of their own accord,

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.

¹⁴ and I went further in Judaism than many of my own age and race, being intensely zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.

¹⁶ knowing that a man is not declared righteous because of works of law, but through faith in Christ Jesus, we also have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be declared righteous because of faith in Christ, and not because of works of law, for because of works of law no human being will be declared righteous.

¹ O THOUGHTLESS Galatians, who has bewitched you before whose eyes Jesus Christ was pictured crucified? ² Only this I wish to learn from you: Was it because of works of law that you received the Spirit, or because of hearing with faith?

⁵ He who supplies to you the Spirit and works miracles among you, is he doing it because of works of law or because of hearing with faith,

¹² But the Law is not of faith, but "He who does these things shall live by them."

²⁴ Thus the Law became our tutor leading us to Christ, that we might be declared righteous by faith.

²⁸ There cannot be Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female: for you all are one in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ Where now is the blessing you pronounced on me? For I bear you witness that if it had been possible you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

¹⁷ They are paying court to you, but not honorably. No, they wish to shut you out, so that you may pay court to them. ¹⁸ It is honorable to be courted in an honorable matter always, and not only when I am with you,

³ I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to carry out the whole Law. ⁴ You have put an end to Christ's work for you, you who are declared righteous by law; you have fallen away from grace.

⁷ You were running finely. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

⁷ in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, according to the wealth of his loving kindness

⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

⁷ that he might show in the ages to come the surpassing richness of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

¹⁷ And he came and brought the good news of peace to you who were far and peace to those who were near. ¹⁸ For through him we, both Jews and Gentiles, have access through one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹ So then you are no longer strangers and resident aliens, but fellow citizens with the holy and members of the household of God, ²⁰ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone. ²¹ In him all the building, framed together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, ²² in whom you also are being built for a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

⁶ namely, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the good news,

⁸ To me, the least of all the holy, has this grace been given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the unsearchable riches of Christ

¹⁶ that he may grant to you according to his glorious wealth to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man,

⁸ Therefore it says, "He ascended on high; he led away captives; he gave gifts to men." ⁹ What does "he ascended" mean, except that he had descended into the lowest parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended is also he who "ascended" high above all the heavens to fill all things. ¹¹ And he "gave" to some to be apostles, some prophets, some tellers of the good news, some shepherds and teachers, ¹² for the equipment of the saints, for the work of service, for building up the body of Christ,

²¹ if you have heard him and have been taught in him as the truth is in Jesus,

¹⁵ shod with the readiness of the good news of peace.

¹⁹ and in my behalf, that words may be given to me when I open my month to make known with fearlessness the mystery of the good news, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may tell it fearlessly as I ought.

⁹ And this is my prayer that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and all insight,

¹¹ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

⁶ as to zeal persecuting the church, as to the righteousness of the Law blameless.

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,

¹⁹ My God will supply every need of yours according to his wealth in glory in Christ Jesus.

⁴ because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have to all the holy ⁵ because of the hope laid up for us in heaven. Of this you have already heard in the true message of the good news ⁶ which has come to you. Just as in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, so also it is among you since the day that you heard and learned of the grace of God in truth.

⁶ which has come to you. Just as in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, so also it is among you since the day that you heard and learned of the grace of God in truth.

²³ if you remain in the faith, firm and steadfast, never moving from the hope of the good news which you have heard and which has been proclaimed in all the creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a servant.

²⁷ to whom God willed to make known what is the glorious wealth of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you the hope of glory.

² that your hearts may be encouraged and that joined together in love you may reach all the wealth of the full assurance of insight into the knowledge of the mystery of God, which is Christ. ³ In him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge lie hidden.

¹⁰ and you have been filled in him. He is the head of every archangel and authority.

¹⁷ These were a shadow of coming things, but the body is Christ's.

¹¹ Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcision or uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave or freeman, but Christ is all and in all.

¹⁶ The message of Christ must dwell in you richly, as you teach in all wisdom and admonish one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs and sing with grace in your hearts to God.

¹³ I bear witness to the burden that he carries for you and for those in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.

⁸ For the message of the Lord sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone abroad, so that there is no need for us to speak a word.

¹³ For this reason we unceasingly give thanks to God that when you received from us the report of the message of God you accepted it not as the message of men, but, as it truly is, the message of God, which also is doing its work in you who believe.

¹⁶ trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. All this goes always to fill up the measure of their sins. But God's fiercest wrath has overtaken them.

⁸ With flaming fire he will inflict vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the good news of our Lord Jesus.

¹³ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through the Spirit's making you holy and your own faith in the truth. ¹⁴ To this he called you through the good news that we brought, so that you may share the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵ For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,

⁶ In teaching this to the brethren you will be a noble servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and of the excellent teaching which you have followed.

¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me so that through me the proclamation might be fully published and all the Gentiles might hear it, and I was saved from the mouth of the lion.

³ but in due time made known as his message through the proclamation with which I was entrusted by the commission of God our Savior,

³ For we ourselves were once thoughtless, disobedient, astray, enslaved to passions and various pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

³ who is the reflection of his glory and the expression of his nature and sustains all things by his word of power, and who, when he had made purification from sins, took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

¹² See to it, brethren, that there shall not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart ready to forsake the living God,

² For we have received the good news just as they did, but the message that was heard did not benefit them, since it did not meet with faith in the hearers.

¹² For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, and it pierces until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart. 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.

⁹ and being thus made perfect he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

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. ⁸ The Holy Spirit shows this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been made plain while the first Tent is standing. ⁹ That is a symbol, for the time being, in accordance with which gifts and sacrifices are offered, though they cannot make the worshiper perfect in his conscience, ¹⁰ since they consist only of foods and drinks and various baths — rules respecting the flesh, imposed until the time of reformation. ¹¹ But when Christ came as High Priest of the good things that have come, he entered once for all through the greater and more perfect Tent not made by hands — that is, not of this creation — ¹² and not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, into the holy place, and thereby found eternal redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the defiled, makes them holy as regards purity of their flesh, 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.

⁸ He first says, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin offerings thou dost not desire nor delight in," such as are offered according to the Law, ⁹ and then he says, "Here I have come to do thy will." He takes away the first to establish the second. ¹⁰ By this "will" we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¹¹ Every priest stands daily doing service and offering many times the same sacrifices, although they never can take away sins. ¹² But this Priest after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, took his seat at the right hand of God,

¹⁴ For by one offering he has forever perfected those who are made holy.

²² let us come with true hearts in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies bathed in pure water.

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must have faith that he exists and that he becomes the rewarder of those who seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, after receiving a divine warning regarding things as yet unseen, reverently built an ark for the saving of his household. Thus he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness of faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham when called obeyed and came out into the place which he was to obtain for an inheritance. He came out not knowing where he was coming.

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,

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. ¹⁹ I wish you to know this, my beloved brethren: Every man must be quick to hear, but slow to speak, slow to anger. ²⁰ For a man's anger does not work out God's righteousness. ²¹ So lay aside all that is vile and all that remains of malice, and receive with gentleness the implanted message which can save your souls.

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.

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.

²¹ who through him are faithful to God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 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.

²⁵ but the word of the Lord endures forever." And this is the word of good news that has been brought to you.

⁶ Therefore it is contained in Scripture, "See, I am laying in Zion a chosen stone, an honored corner stone. He who has faith in him will not be put to shame."

⁸ a stone for the foot to strike, a rock to stumble over." Their feet strike the message because of their unbelief, and to this they were destined.

¹⁰ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God: once you had not found compassion, but now you have found compassion.

¹ IN the same way you wives are to be submissive to your own husbands, so that if any disbelieve the message they may be won over by the lives of their wives without argument,

¹⁸ For Christ once for all died for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might lead us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

²² Now that he has gone into heaven he is at the right hand of God, and angels and authorities and powers have been made subject to him.

¹ SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have been allotted a faith as precious as ours:

² By this we know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, ³ and no spirit that does not confess Jesus is from God. This is the spirit of Antichrist, which you have heard is coming into the world and is already in the world.

¹⁵ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

¹⁹ We love because he first loved us.

⁷ For many deceivers have come out into the world and they do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

⁹ I, John, your brother and fellow sharer in the distresses and the kingdom and the endurance in Jesus, came to the island called Patmos, for the sake of the message of God and the testimony of Jesus.

¹⁸ and the living one. I became dead, but now I am living for the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

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 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.

¹⁴ They will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings. They who are with him, called and chosen and faithful, will also conquer."

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