¹² And all the throng held their peace, and began to hearken unto Barnabas and Paul relating how many signs and wonders God had done among the nations, through them.

⁶ And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia; ⁷ but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia,––and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not; ⁸ but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas. ⁹ And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared:––A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying––Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour!

And we were, in this city, spending certain days;

¹⁸ And, this, she continued to do for many days. But Paul, worn out, and turning unto the spirit, said––I charge thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out from her. And it came out the same hour.

¹⁰ But, the brethren, straightway, during the night, sent away both Paul and Silas unto Beroea, who, indeed, arriving, unto the synagogue of the Jews, went off;

¹⁵ But, they who were conducting Paul, brought him as far as Athens, and, receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy, that with, all possible speed, they would come unto him, they departed.

¹ After these things, withdrawing from Athens, he came unto Corinth;

¹² But, when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one accord, set upon Paul, and led him unto the judgment–seat,

¹⁹ And they came down to Ephesus; and, as for them, he left them there,––but, himself entering into the synagogue, he reasoned with the Jews.

²¹ but, bidding them adieu, and saying––Again, will I return unto you, God willing, he sailed away from Ephesus;

¹ And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, passing through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples;

¹¹ Mighty works, also, not the ordinary, God was working through the hands of Paul; ¹² so that, even unto the sick, were being carried from his body, handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases were departing from them, and, the wicked spirits, were going out.

²¹ Now, when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit, going through Macedonia and Achaia, to be journeying unto Jerusalem, saying––After I have been there, Rome also, must I see!

¹ But, after the tumult had ceased, Paul, sending for the disciples and exhorting them, took leave, and went forth to be journeying unto Macedonia. ² Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, he came into Greece;

⁶ And, we, sailed forth, after the days of unleavened bread, from Philippi, and came unto them in Troas in five days, where we tarried seven days.

¹⁶ For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, lest he should happen to lose time in Asia; for he hastened, if it were possible for him, against the day of Pentecost, to arrive, in Jerusalem.

²⁰ in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;

²² And, now, lo! I, bound in my spirit, am journeying unto Jerusalem; the things which therein shall befall me, not knowing,––

²⁴ But, for no cause whatever, am I making my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full witness as to the good news of the favour of God.

³² Now, therefore, I commend you unto the Lord, and unto his word of favour,––which is able to build up and give the inheritance among all the hallowed ones.

⁵ And, when it came to pass that we had completed the days, we went forth, and continued our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, as far as outside the city; and, kneeling down on the beach in prayer,

¹⁷ Now, when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren, gladly welcomed us. ¹⁸ And, on the next day, Paul went in with us unto James, and, all the elders, were present. ¹⁹ And, saluting them, he went on to narrate, one by one, each of the things which God had wrought among the nations through his ministry.

¹⁹ And, saluting them, he went on to narrate, one by one, each of the things which God had wrought among the nations through his ministry. ²⁰ And, they, having heard, began glorifying God; and they said to him––Thou observest, brother, how many myriads there are among the Jews who have believed, and, all, are zealous for the law. ²¹ Now they have heard it rumoured concerning thee, that, an apostacy, art thou teaching, from Moses, unto all the Jews, who are among the nations, telling them not to be circumcising their children, nor, by the customs, to be walking. ²² What, then, is it? at all events, they will hear that thou hast come. ²³ This, then, do, which unto thee, we say:––We have four men who have a vow upon themselves. ²⁴ Taking these unto thee, be purified with them, and spend something upon them, that they may shave their head; and all will get to know, that the things which they have heard rumoured concerning thee, are, nothing,––on the contrary, thou thyself, dost keep the ranks, guarding the law. ²⁵ But, concerning them of the nations who have believed, we ourselves, sent, deciding that they should be guarding themselves, both as to idol sacrifice, and blood, and what is strangled, and fornication. ²⁶ Then Paul, taking unto him the men, on the next day, with them, being purified, began entering into the temple to declare the filling up of the days of the purification––until, the offering, had been presented for each one of them.
²⁷ When, however, the seven days were on the point of being concluded, the Jews from Asia, observing him in the temple, began to urge–on all the multitude, and thrust upon them their hands, ²⁸ crying out––Israelites! be giving help! This, is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, is teaching, all men everywhere; furthermore, even Greeks, hath he brought into the temple, and hath profaned this holy place. ²⁹ For they had before seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city along with him, whom they were supposing, Paul, had brought, into the temple. ³⁰ And the whole city was set in motion, and there took place a running together of the people, and, laying hold of Paul, they proceeded to drag him outside the temple, and, straightway, the doors were made fast. ³¹ When, also, they were seeking to slay him, there was carried up information, unto the captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion:––

¹⁷ And it came to pass, when had returned unto Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I came to be in a trance, ¹⁸ and saw him, saying unto me––Haste thee, and go forth speedily out of Jerusalem, inasmuch as they will not accept thy witness concerning me. ¹⁹ And, I, said––Lord! they themselves, well know that I was imprisoning and beating in every synagogue them who were believing on thee. ²⁰ And, when the blood of Stephen thy witness was being shed, even I myself, was standing by, and approving, and guarding the mantles of them who were slaying him. ²¹ And he said unto me––Be taking thy journey; because, I, unto nations afar off, will send thee.

²¹ And he said unto me––Be taking thy journey; because, I, unto nations afar off, will send thee.

²⁴ the captain ordered him to be brought into the castle, saying, that, with scourging, he should be put to the test,––that he might find out, for what cause they were, thus, clamouring against him.

¹² And, when it became day, the Jews, forming a conspiracy, bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had slain Paul. ¹³ And they were, more than forty, who, this sworn–confederacy, had formed. ¹⁴ And they went unto the High–priests and Elders, and said––With a curse have we bound ourselves, to taste, nothing, until we have slain Paul. ¹⁵ Now, therefore, do, ye, with the High–council, make it appear unto the captain, that he should bring him down unto you, as though about to ascertain more exactly the things that concern him; and, we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. ¹⁶ But Paul’s sister’s son hearing of the lying–in–wait, happening to be near, and coming into the castle,––reported it unto Paul. ¹⁷ And Paul, calling unto him one of the centurions, said––This young man, lead thou away unto the captain, for he hath somewhat to report unto him. ¹⁸ He, therefore, taking him with him, brought him unto the captain, and saith––The prisoner Paul, calling me unto him, requested me to bring this young man unto thee, as having somewhat to tell thee. ¹⁹ And the captain, taking him by the hand, and going aside, began, privately, to ask––What is it which thou hast to report unto me? ²⁰ And he said––The Jews, have agreed to request thee, that, tomorrow, thou wouldst bring, Paul, down into the High–council, as though about to ascertain something, more exact, concerning him. ²¹ Thou, therefore, do not be persuaded by them, for there are lying in wait for him, from among them, more than forty men,––who, indeed, have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor drink, till they have killed him; and, now, are they ready, awaiting the promise, from thee. ²² the captain, therefore, dismissed the young man, charging him––Unto no one, divulge thou, that, these things, thou hast shewed unto me. ²³ And calling certain two of the centurions he said––Make ye ready two hundred soldiers, that they may journey as far as Caesarea,––and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, by the third hour of the night; ²⁴ beasts also provide, in order that, seating Paul thereon, they may bring him safely through unto Felix the governor.

¹ And, after five days, came down the High–priest Ananias, with certain Elders and a certain orator Tertullus, and they informed the governor against Paul. ² And, when he was called, Tertullus began to make accusation, saying––Seeing that, great peace, we are obtaining through thee, and that, reforms, are being brought about for this nation through thy forethought, ³ both in all ways and in all places, are we accepting it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ But, lest I too long detain thee, I beseech thee to hear us concisely in thy considerateness. ⁵ For, finding this man a pest, and moving sedition with all the Jews that are throughout the inhabited earth, a leader also of the sect of the Nazarenes,–– ⁶ who also attempted to desecrate even, the temple, whom we also seized, ⁷ <> ⁸ from whom thou shall be able, thyself, by making examination concerning all these things, to ascertain the things of which, we, are accusing him. ⁹ Moreover, the Jews also were joining in the attack, saying that, these things, were, so.

¹⁷ Now, after many years, intending to do, alms, unto my nation, I arrived,––also [to present] offerings; among which they found me, purified in the temple, not with a multitude, nor with tumult;

² and the High–priest and chiefs of the Jews laid information before him against Paul, and began to beseech him

²⁴ And Festus saith––King Agrippa! and all ye men, here present with us: Ye observe this person, concerning whom, one and all the throng of the Jews, have interceded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying aloud that he ought not to be living any longer.

¹⁷ Rescuing thee from among the people, and from among the nations, unto whom, I, am sending thee–– ¹⁸ To open their eyes; that they turn from darkness unto light, and the authority of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among them who have been made holy by the faith respecting me.

²⁰ But––both to them in Damascus, first, and in Jerusalem, unto all the country of Judaea also, and unto the nations, I carried tidings––that they should repent, and turn unto God, and, works worthy of their repentance, should practise.

¹ Now, when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul, and certain other prisoners, unto a centurion by name Julius, of an Augustan band.

⁴¹ But, falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and, the foreship sticking fast, remained immoveable, while, the stern, began to break up, from the violence [of the waves]. ⁴² Now, the soldiers counsel, turned out to be, that they should kill, the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape; ⁴³ but, the centurion, being minded to bring Paul safely through, hindered them of their purpose, and ordered such as were able to swim, to cast themselves overboard and, get first to the land,––

¹⁵ And, when from thence the brethren heard the tidings concerning us, they came to meet us, as far as The Market of Appius and the Three Taverns––seeing whom, Paul thanked God, and took courage. ¹⁶ And, when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.

³⁰ And he abode two whole years in his own hired house, and made welcome all who were coming in unto him,–– ³¹ proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom of speech, without hindrance.

¹ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated unto the glad–message of God––

⁵ Through whom we have received favour and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name,

¹⁰ At all times in my prayers,––making supplication––if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto you;

¹⁰ At all times in my prayers,––making supplication––if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto you; ¹¹ For I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye may be established,––

¹¹ For I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye may be established,–– ¹² That is to say––there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

¹² That is to say––there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

¹² That is to say––there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other’s faith, both yours and mine. ¹³ I do not wish however that ye should be ignorant, brethren, that, many times, have I purposed to come unto you, but have been hindered, until the present,––in order that, some fruit, I might have among you also, even as among the other nations,

¹³ I do not wish however that ye should be ignorant, brethren, that, many times, have I purposed to come unto you, but have been hindered, until the present,––in order that, some fruit, I might have among you also, even as among the other nations, ¹⁴ Both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to wise and to unwise, a debtor, I am: ¹⁵ Thus, the eagerness on my part––unto you also who are in Rome, to announce the joyful message.
¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the joyful message; for it is God’s power unto salvation, to every one that believeth, both to Jew [first] and to Greek;

³ For what? If some distrusted, shall their distrust make, the trust of God, void?

²⁶ In the forbearance of God,––with a view to a showing forth of his righteousness in the present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous him that hath faith in Jesus.

²⁹ Or, [is God] the God, of Jews only, and not of the nations also? Yea! of the nations also:––

² For, if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath whereof to boast; ––nevertheless, not towards God,––

¹⁶ For this cause, it is by faith, in order that it may be by way of favour, so that the promise is firm unto all the seed,––not unto that by the law only, but unto that also [which is such] by the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all,––

²⁰ In respect, however, of the promise of God, he was not led to hesitate by unbelief, but received power by his faith, giving glory unto God,

²³ Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was reckoned unto him, ²⁴ But for our sakes also––unto whom it is to be reckoned,––even unto them that believe upon him who raised Jesus our Lord from among the dead:

² Through whom also we have had, our introduction, [by our faith] into this favour wherein we stand; and let us boast in hope of the glory of God. ³ And, not only so, but let us boast also in our tribulations; knowing that, our tribulation, worketh out endurance. ⁴ And, our endurance, a testing, and, our testing, hope, ⁵ And, our hope, putteth not to shame. Because, the love of God, hath been poured out in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit that hath been given unto us:

⁵ And, our hope, putteth not to shame. Because, the love of God, hath been poured out in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit that hath been given unto us:

¹⁷ But thanks be unto God, that––whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient out of the heart unto the mould of teaching into which ye were delivered;

²⁴ For, by our hope, have we been saved,––but, hope beheld, is not hope, for, what one beholdeth, why doth he hope for? ²⁵ If, however, what we do not behold we hope for, with endurance, are we ardently awaiting [it]; ––
²⁶ In the selfsame way moreover, even the Spirit, helpeth together in our weakness,––for, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not, but, the Spirit itself, maketh intercession with sighings unutterable, ²⁷ And, he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is preferred by the Spirit––that, according to God, he maketh intercession in behalf of saints;

⁴ Who, indeed, are Israelites, whose are the sonship, and the glory, and the covenants, and the legislation, and the divine service, and the promises, ⁵ Whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ––according to the flesh––he who is over all, God, blessed unto the ages. Amen.

²³ In order that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy which he prepared beforehand for glory,–– ²⁴ Whom he also called, even us, not only from among Jews, but also from among the nations, [what then?]

¹³ Unto you, however, am I speaking,––you of the nations; inasmuch, indeed, then, as, I, am an apostle to the nations, my ministry, I glorify,

¹⁷ If, however, some of the branches, have been broken out, and, thou, being a wild olive hast been grafted in among them, and hast become a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive,

²² See, then, the kindness and the severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity,––but, upon thee, the kindness of God, if thou abide still in the kindness,––otherwise, thou also, shalt he cut out;

³⁰ For, just as, ye, at one time had not yielded unto God, and yet now have received mercy by their refusal to yield,

¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living, holy sacrifice, unto God acceptable,––your rational divine service; ² And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by God––the good and acceptable and perfect. ³ For I say, through the favour which hath been given me, unto every one who is among you,––not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but so to think as to think soberly––as, unto each one, God hath dealt a measure of faith.

⁶ Now, having gifts of favour, according to the favour given unto us, differing––whether prophesying, [let us use it] according to the proportion of our faith,

¹² In hope, rejoicing, in tribulation, enduring, in prayer, persevering,

¹⁶ The same thing, one to another regarding,––not the lofty things regarding, but, by the lowly, being led along. Be not getting presumptuous in your own opinion:

¹ Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye,––not for disputing opinions:––

¹ Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye,––not for disputing opinions:–– ² One, indeed, hath faith to eat all things, whereas, he that is weak, eateth herbs: ³ Let not, him that eateth, despise him that eateth not, and let not, him that eateth not, judge him that eateth; for, God, hath received him.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit;

¹⁹ Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another:

³ For, even the Christ, not unto himself gave pleasure, but, even as it is written––The reproaches of them that we reproaching thee, fell upon me:

⁵ Now may, the God of the endurance and of the encouragement, give you, the same thing, to be regarding amongst one another, according to Christ Jesus;

⁹ And that, the nations, for mercy should glorify God:––even as it is written––For this cause, will I openly confess unto thee among nations, and, unto thy name, will strike the strings;

⁹ And that, the nations, for mercy should glorify God:––even as it is written––For this cause, will I openly confess unto thee among nations, and, unto thy name, will strike the strings; ¹⁰ And again he saith––Be glad ye nations with his people; ¹¹ And again,––Be giving praise all ye nations unto the Lord, and let all the peoples repeat his praise;

¹³ Now, the God of the hope, fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye may surpass in the hope, in the power of Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ That I should be a public minister of Christ Jesus unto the nations, doing priestly service with the glad–message of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might prove to be acceptable, being hallowed in Holy Spirit:

¹⁸ For I wilt not dare to speak anything save of the things which Christ hath wrought out for himself through me for the obedience of nations,––by word and deed,

²³ But, now, no longer having place in these regions, and having had, a longing, to come unto you a good many years,–– ²⁴ As soon as I am journey to Spain,––I am hoping, in fact, when journeying through to get sight of you, and by you to be set forward thither,––if, with your company, I have first in some measure been satisfied.

²⁴ As soon as I am journey to Spain,––I am hoping, in fact, when journeying through to get sight of you, and by you to be set forward thither,––if, with your company, I have first in some measure been satisfied. ²⁵ But, now, I am journeying unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints; ²⁶ For Macedonia and Achaia have been well–pleased to make a certain fellowship for the destitute of the saints who are in Jerusalem,–– ²⁷ They have been well–pleased, indeed,––and, their debtors, they are; for, if, with their spiritual things the nations have come into fellowship, they are bound also with their own carnal things to minister publicly unto them. ²⁸ This, then, having completed, and sealed unto them this fruit, I will come back by you unto Spain:––

²⁸ This, then, having completed, and sealed unto them this fruit, I will come back by you unto Spain:–– ²⁹ And know that, when I come unto you, in the fullness of the blessing of Christ, I shall come.

²⁹ And know that, when I come unto you, in the fullness of the blessing of Christ, I shall come.
³⁰ I beseech you, moreover, [brethren], through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers on my behalf unto God,–– ³¹ In order that I may be delivered from them who do not yield in Judaea, and, my ministry which is unto Jerusalem, may prove to be acceptable unto the saints; ³² In order that, with joy coming unto you through God’s will, I may together with you find rest.

²⁰ Howbeit, the God of peace, will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The favour of our Lord Jesus, be with you.

²³ There saluteth you––Gaius, my host and [the host] of the whole assembly. There salute you––Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother.

²⁶ But now made manifest, and through means of prophetic scriptures, according to the command of the age–abiding God, for obedience of faith unto all the nations made known,

⁵ That, in everything, ye have been enriched in him––in all discourse and in all knowledge;

¹⁰ But I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,––that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly joined together––in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

¹² Now I mean this,––that, each one of you, is saying––I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ:

⁴ And, my discourse, and what I proclaimed, were not in suasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of Spirit and power:

⁵ What then is Apollos? and, what is Paul? ministers through whom ye believed, and, each, as the Lord, gave to him. ⁶ I, planted, Apollos, watered,––but, God, caused to, grow. ⁷ So that, [neither] is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth,––but, God, who causeth to, grow. ⁸ Moreover, he that planteth and he that watereth, are one:––howbeit, each one, his own reward, shall receive,––according to his own labour. ⁹ For we are, God’s, fellow–workmen: ye are, God’s, farm, God’s building.

⁹ For we are, God’s, fellow–workmen: ye are, God’s, farm, God’s building. ¹⁰ According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master–builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;

¹⁰ According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master–builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;
¹¹ For, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, which is, Jesus Christ. ¹² But, if anyone is building, upon the foundation––gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, ¹³ Each one’s work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed,––and, each one’s work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove:–– ¹⁴ If, anyone’s work, shall abide, which he built, a reward, shall he receive,–– ¹⁵ If, anyone’s work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved––though, thus, as through fire.

¹ Let a man, so, be reckoning of us, as officers of Christ, and stewards of sacred secrets of God.

¹⁰ We, are foolish for Christ’s sake, but, ye, prudent in Christ; we are weak, but, ye, mighty; ye, all–glorious, but, we, dishonoured.

¹⁹ Howbeit, I will come quickly unto you,––if, the Lord, please,––and will get to know––not the speech of them who are puffed up, but, the power;

¹⁹ Or know ye not that, your body, is, a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own; ––

¹ Now, concerning the idol–sacrifices, we are aware––because we, all, have knowledge,––knowledge, puffeth up, but, love, buildeth up;

⁷ Howbeit, not in all, is the knowledge; but, some, by their familiarity, until even now, with the idol, as an idol–sacrifice, eat it, and, their conscience, being, weak, is defiled.

¹⁰ For, if anyone should see [thee] who hast knowledge, in an idol–temple, reclining, will not, his conscience, being, weak, be built up for the eating of the idol–sacrifices?

⁹ For, in the law of Moses, it is written––Thou shalt not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the corn:––Is it, for the oxen, God is caring? ¹⁰ Or, for our sakes altogether, is he saying it? For our sakes, it was written; because, he that ploweth, ought, to plow, in hope,––and, he that thresheth, [to thresh] in hope of partaking. ¹¹ If, we, unto you, the things of the Spirit have sown, is it a great matter, if, we, of you, the things of the flesh shall reap?

¹⁹ For, though free from all, unto all, myself, I enslaved,––that, the larger number, I might win: ²⁰ Therefore became I, to the Jews, as, a Jew,––that, Jews, I might win; to them who were under law, as, under law, not being, myself, under law,––that, them who were under law, I might win; ²¹ To them who were without law, as, without law,––not being without law to God, but lawfully subject to Christ,––that I might win them who were without law. ²² I became, unto the weak, weak,––that, the weak, I might win; ––to all men, have I become all things, that, by all means, some, I might save.

²² I became, unto the weak, weak,––that, the weak, I might win; ––to all men, have I become all things, that, by all means, some, I might save.

¹¹ But, these things, by way of type, were happening unto them, and were written with a view to our admonition, unto whom, the ends of the ages, have reached along.

¹⁹ What, then, am I saying?––that, an idol–sacrifice, is anything? or that, an idol, is anything?

²⁴ Let, no one, be seeking, what concerneth himself, but that which concerneth some one else.

²⁹ But, conscience, I mean, not thine own, but the other’s,––for why is my freedom to be judged by another’s conscience?

³³ Even as, I also, in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

⁴ But, distributions of gifts, there are, yet the same Spirit, ⁵ And, distributions of ministries, there are, and the same Lord, ⁶ And, distributions of energies, there are, and the same God––who energiseth all things in all. ⁷ But, unto each one, is given the manifesting of the Spirit, with a view to that which is profitable; ⁸ For, unto one, indeed, through the Spirit, is given, a word of wisdom, but, unto another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; ––

⁸ For, unto one, indeed, through the Spirit, is given, a word of wisdom, but, unto another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; –– ⁹ Unto a different one, faith, in the same Spirit, and, unto another, gifts of healings, in the one Spirit, ¹⁰ And, unto another, energies of mighty works, [and], unto another, prophesying, [and], unto another, discriminations of spirits,––unto a different one, kinds of tongues, and, unto another, translation of tongues; –– ¹¹ But, all these, energiseth the one and the same Spirit, distributing unto each one, peculiarly, even as it is disposed.

²² Nay! much more, the members which seem to be weaker are necessary, ²³ And, the parts of the body which we deem to be less honourable, on these, more abundant honour, do we bestow, and, our uncomely parts, have, more abundant comeliness, ²⁴ Whereas, our comely parts, have, no need. But, God, hath tempered the body together,––unto that which was lacking, giving more abundant honour; ––

² And, though I have [the gift of] prophesying, and know all sacred secrets, and all knowledge,––and though I have all faith, so as to be removing mountains, and have not, love, I am, nothing;

⁵ Acteth not unbecomingly, seeketh not her own things, is not easily provoked, imputeth not that which is base,

³³ For God is not [a God] of confusion, but, of peace:––as in all the assemblies of the saints.

¹⁰ But, by favour of God, I am what I am, and, his favour, which was unto me, hath not been made void,––but, much more abundantly than they all, have I toiled, albeit not, I, but the favour of God with me.

¹⁹ If, in this life, in Christ, we have hoped––and that is all, we are, of all men, most to be pitied.

⁵⁰ And, this, I say, brethren,––that, flesh and blood, cannot inherit, God’s kingdom. Neither doth, corruption, inherit, incorruption.

¹ Now, concerning the collection which is for the saints, just as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so, also do, ye:–– ² Upon the first of the week, let, each one of you, put, by itself, in store, as he may be prospering,––lest, as soon as I come, then, collections, should be in progress. ³ And, as soon as I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, these, will I send, to bear away your favour unto Jerusalem:

⁵ Now I will come unto you, as soon as I have passed through Macedonia,––for I do pass through Macedonia, ⁶ And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying. ⁷ For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, with you,––if, the Lord, permit.

¹⁵ Now I beseech you, brethren,––ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is a firstfruit of Achaia, and, for the purpose of ministering, they devoted themselves, unto the saints––

¹⁸ They have given rest, in fact, unto my spirit, and yours: hold in acknowledgment, therefore, such as these.

³ Blessed, be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement,

³ Blessed, be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement, ⁴ Who encourageth us in all our tribulation, to the end we may be able to encourage them who are in any tribulation––through means of the encouragement wherewith we, ourselves, are encouraged by God.

¹¹ Ye also labouring together on our behalf, by your supplication, that, unto many persons, being due the gift of favour, unto us, through means of many, might thanks be given in our behalf.

¹⁶ And, by your means, to pass into Macedonia, and, again, from Macedonia, to come unto you, and, by you, be set forward unto Judea:––

²⁰ For, how many soever be the promises of God, in him, is the Yea,––wherefore also, through him, [be] the Amen, unto God, for glory, through us.

¹⁴ But, unto God, be thanks, who, ever, leadeth us in triumph in the Christ, and, the fragrance of the knowledge of him, maketh manifest, through us, in every place, ¹⁵ That, of Christ, a grateful odour, are we, unto God,––in them who are being saved, and in them who are being lost: ¹⁶ In these, indeed, a fragrance out of death into death, but, in those, a fragrance out of life into life. And, for these things, who is sufficient?

¹ Are we to begin again, ourselves, to commend? or have we need, like some, of commendatory letters unto you, or from you? ² Our letter, ye, are, inscribed in our hearts, noted and read by all men: ³ Manifesting yourselves that ye are a letter of Christ, ministered by us,––inscribed––not with ink, but with [the] Spirit of a Living God, not in tablets of stone, but in tablets [which are] hearts of flesh. ⁴ But, such confidence as this, have we, through the Christ, towards God. ⁵ Not that, of our own selves, sufficient, are we, to reckon anything as of ourselves, but, our sufficiency, is of God; ––
⁶ Who also hath made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant––not of letter, but of spirit, for, the letter, killeth, whereas, the Spirit, maketh alive.

⁵ For, not ourselves, do we proclaim, but Christ Jesus, as Lord, and, ourselves, as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

¹¹ For, evermore, we, the living, unto death are being delivered, for Jesus’ sake, in order that, the life also of Jesus, may be made manifest in our mortal flesh:

¹⁹ How that, God, was in Christ, reconciling, a world, unto himself, not reckoning, unto them, their offences,––and hath put, in us, the reconciling discourse. ²⁰ In behalf of Christ, therefore, are we ambassadors,––as if God were beseeching through us: we entreat, in behalf of Christ,––be reconciled unto God!

²⁰ In behalf of Christ, therefore, are we ambassadors,––as if God were beseeching through us: we entreat, in behalf of Christ,––be reconciled unto God!

¹ As co–workers, however, we also beseech, that, not in vain, the favour of God, ye welcome;

⁴ Great, is my freedom of speech towards you, great, is my boasting in behalf of you: I am filled with the encouragement, I am greatly superabounding with the joy, in all our tribulation.

⁶ But, he who encourageth them that are brought low, encouraged us,––even God,––by the presence of Titus.

¹³ For this cause, have we received encouragement. In addition to our encouragement, however, much more abundantly, have we rejoiced over the joy of Titus,––that his spirit hath received refreshment from you all,

¹ Moreover we make known unto you, brethren, the favour of God which hath been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,–– ² That, in a great testing of tribulation, the superabounding of their joy and their deep destitution, superabounded unto the riches of their liberality; ³ That, according to power, I bear witness, and beyond power, of their own accord, [they acted], –– ⁴ With much exhortation, entreating of us the favour and the fellowship of the ministry which was for the saints; ––

⁴ With much exhortation, entreating of us the favour and the fellowship of the ministry which was for the saints; –– ⁵ And, not merely as we hoped, but, themselves, gave they, first, unto the Lord and unto us through God’s will,

⁵ And, not merely as we hoped, but, themselves, gave they, first, unto the Lord and unto us through God’s will, ⁶ To the end we should exhort Titus, in order that, according as he before made a beginning, so, he should also complete unto you this favour also.
⁷ But, just as, in everything, ye superabound,––in faith, and discourse, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in the love among you which proceedeth from us, in order that, in this favour also, ye would superabound. ⁸ Not by way of injunction, do I speak, but through, others’, earnestness, and, the genuineness of your own love, putting to the test. ⁹ For ye are taking knowledge of the favour of our Lord Jesus [Christ], ––how that, for your sakes, he became destitute––although he was, rich, in order that, ye, by his destitution, might be enriched.

⁹ For ye are taking knowledge of the favour of our Lord Jesus [Christ], ––how that, for your sakes, he became destitute––although he was, rich, in order that, ye, by his destitution, might be enriched.

¹ For, indeed, concerning the ministry which is for the saints, it is, superfluous for me, to be writing to you; ² For I know your forwardness of mind––of which, in your behalf, I am boasting unto Macedonians, that, Achaia, hath been prepared for a year past,––and, your zeal, hath stirred up the greater number of them.

⁸ Moreover God is able to cause, every gracious gift, to superabound unto you, in order that, having in every thing, at every time, every kind of sufficiency of your own, ye may be superabounding unto every good work;

¹² Because, the ministry of this public service, is not only towards filling up the deficiencies of the saints, but also superabounding, through the thanksgiving of many, unto God,––

⁴ For, the weapons of our warfare, are not fleshly, but mighty, by God, unto a pulling down of strongholds,–– ⁵ When we pull down, calculations, and every height that uplifteth itself against the knowledge of God, and when we bring into captivity every thought unto the obedience of the Christ,

¹³ We, however, not as to the things without measure, will boast ourselves, but, according to the measure of the limit which God apportioned unto us, as a measure––to reach as far as even you!

¹³ We, however, not as to the things without measure, will boast ourselves, but, according to the measure of the limit which God apportioned unto us, as a measure––to reach as far as even you! ¹⁴ For, not as though we were not reaching unto you, are we over–stretching ourselves, for, as far as even you, were we beforehand in the glad–message of the Christ:

¹⁴ For, not as though we were not reaching unto you, are we over–stretching ourselves, for, as far as even you, were we beforehand in the glad–message of the Christ: ¹⁵ Not, as to the things without measure, boasting ourselves in other men’s toils, but having, hope––your faith, growing––among you, to be enlarged, according to our limit for something beyond,––

¹⁵ Not, as to the things without measure, boasting ourselves in other men’s toils, but having, hope––your faith, growing––among you, to be enlarged, according to our limit for something beyond,–– ¹⁶ Unto the regions beyond you, to carry the glad–message: not, within another man’s limit, as to the things made ready, to boast ourselves.

¹⁶ Unto the regions beyond you, to carry the glad–message: not, within another man’s limit, as to the things made ready, to boast ourselves. ¹⁷ He that boasteth, however, in the Lord, let him boast; ¹⁸ For, not he that commendeth himself, he, is approved, but he whom, the Lord, doth commend.

¹⁶ Again, I say––let no one deem me to be, foolish; but, otherwise, at least, as foolish, give me welcome, that, I also, some little, may boast myself. ¹⁷ What I am saying, not according to the Lord, am I saying, but as in foolishness,––in this my boastful confidence! ¹⁸ Since, many, are boasting after the flesh, I also, will boast; ¹⁹ For, gladly, do ye bear with the foolish, being [yourselves], discreet,–– ²⁰ For ye bear with it––if anyone enslaveth you, if any devoureth, if anyone taketh, if anyone lifteth himself up, if anyone, on the face, doth smite you! ²¹ By way of disparagement, am I speaking,––as though, we, had been weak! whereas, in whatsoever anyone dareth, in foolishness I speak, I also, dare:––
²² Hebrews, are they? I also, Israelites, are they? I also, seed of Abraham, are they? I also, ²³ Ministers of Christ, are they? As one deranged I am talking, I, above measure!––in toils, superabundantly, in prisons, superabundantly, in stripes, to excess, in deaths, oft,––

²³ Ministers of Christ, are they? As one deranged I am talking, I, above measure!––in toils, superabundantly, in prisons, superabundantly, in stripes, to excess, in deaths, oft,–– ²⁴ From Jews, five times, forty–save–one, have I received, ²⁵ Thrice, have I been beaten with rods, once, have I been stoned, thrice, have I been shipwrecked, a day and night, in the deep, have I spent; ²⁶ In journeyings oft, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils by the sea, in perils among false brethren, ²⁷ in toil and hardship, in watchings, oft, in hunger and thirst, in fasting, oft, in cold and nakedness:–– ²⁸ Apart from the things without, my daily care,––my anxiety for all the assemblies; –– ²⁹ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and, I, am not burning? ³⁰ If, to boast, is needful, in the things that concern my weakness, will I boast. ³¹ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus, knoweth––He who is blessed unto the ages––that I am not speaking falsely:

¹ To be boasting, is needful,––it is not, indeed, profitable, yet will I come to visions and revelations of [the] Lord:––

⁶ Although in fact, if I should wish to boast, I shall not be foolish, for, the truth, would I speak; but I forbear, lest anyone, unto me, should reckon above what he beholdeth me [to be], or heareth from me,––even by the exceeding greatness of the revelations.

¹⁰ Wherefore, I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, and straits, in behalf of Christ; for, as soon as I am weak, then, am powerful.
¹¹ I have become foolish,––ye, compelled me:––I, in fact, ought, by you, to have been commended; for, not a whit, have I come behind the exceeding overmuch apostles,––even if I am nothing: ¹² The signs, indeed, of an apostle, were wrought out among you, in all endurance,––[both] in signs, and wonders, and mighty works:

¹² The signs, indeed, of an apostle, were wrought out among you, in all endurance,––[both] in signs, and wonders, and mighty works: ¹³ For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies,––save that, I myself, would not allow myself to be a burden unto you? Forgive me this wrong! ¹⁴ Lo! this third time, I am holding myself, in readiness, to come unto you, and I will not allow myself to be a burden; for I seek not yours, but you; ––for, the children, ought not to lay up, for the parents, but the parents for the children; –– ¹⁵ And, I, most gladly, will spend, and be fully spent, for your souls:––If I, exceedingly, love you, am I, the less, loved? ¹⁶ But let it be!––I, myself, did not burden you,––Notwithstanding, being crafty, with guile, I caught you? ¹⁷ Was there, anyone of those whom I have sent unto you, through whom I have overreached you? ¹⁸ I exhorted Titus, and sent with him the brother,––Did, Titus, overreach you? Was it not, in the same spirit, we walked? Was it not, in the same steps? ¹⁹ All this time, think ye, that, unto you, we are making a defence? Before God in Christ, we speak; ––but all these things, beloved, for your upbuilding. ²⁰ For I fear––lest, by any means, when I come, not such as I wish, should I find you, and, I, should be found by you, such as ye do not wish; ––lest, by any means, [I should find] strife, jealousy, outbursts of wrath, factions, railings, whisperings, puffed up pretensions, confusions; –– ²¹ Lest, when I again come, my God should humble me in regard to you,––and I should grieve over many who had before sinned, and not repented of the impurity, and fornication, and wantonness which they had committed.

¹¹ Finally, brethren, farewell! Be getting restored, be taking encouragement, be of one mind, live in peace,––and, the God of love and peace, will be with you.

¹⁴ The favour of our Lord Jesus [Christ], and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

¹⁵ But, when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me through his favour, was well–pleased ¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might announce the glad–message regarding him among the nations, straightway, I conferred not with flesh and blood,

⁷ But, on the contrary,––when they saw that I had been entrusted with the glad–message to the uncircumcision, even as, Peter, [with that] to the circumcision, ⁸ For, he that energised in Peter, into an apostleship to the circumcision, energised also in me, for the nations,––

⁸ For, he that energised in Peter, into an apostleship to the circumcision, energised also in me, for the nations,–– ⁹ And when they perceived the favour which had been given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave, the right hand of fellowship, unto me and Barnabas, in order that, we, [should go] unto the nations, and, they, unto the circumcision:–– ¹⁰ Only that we should remember, the destitute,––as to which I had given diligence, this very thing, to do.

⁵ He then who was supplying unto you the Spirit, and energising mighty works among you, by works of law, or by a believed report [did he it]?

⁴ But, when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, who came to be of a woman, who came to be under law,–– ⁵ That, them who were under law, he might redeem, that, the sonship, we might duly receive; ––

²² But, the fruit of the Spirit, is––love, joy, peace, long–suffering, graciousness, goodness, faithfulness,

¹ Brethren! if a man should even be overtaken in any fault, ye, the spiritual, be restoring such a one, in a spirit of meekness, looking to thyself, lest, even thou, be put to the test. ² One another’s burdens, be ye bearing, and, so, fill up the law of the Christ.

⁶ Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things.

⁶ Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things. ⁷ Be not deceiving yourselves! God, is not to be mocked; for, whatsoever a man soweth, the same, shall he also reap,–– ⁸ Because, he that soweth into his own flesh, out of the flesh, shall reap corruption, whereas, he that soweth into the Spirit, out of the Spirit, shall reap age–abiding life. ⁹ And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not. ¹⁰ Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all,––but, especially, towards the family of the faith.

² Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
³ Blessed, be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing, in the heavenlies, in Christ,

⁶ Unto the praise of the glory of his favour wherewith he favoured us in the Beloved One,–– ⁷ In whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of our offences, according to the riches of his favour, ⁸ which he made to superabound towards us; in all wisdom and prudence,

¹² That we should be for the praise of his glory––we who had hoped beforehand in the Christ,––

¹² That we should be for the praise of his glory––we who had hoped beforehand in the Christ,–– ¹³ In whom, ye also––hearing the word of the truth, the glad–message of your salvation,––in whom also believing,––were sealed with the Spirit of the promise, the Holy [Spirit],

¹⁸ The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that ye may know––what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

¹² That ye were, in that season, separate from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and godless in the world;

¹⁸ Because, through him, we have our introduction––we both––in one Spirit, unto the Father.

²⁰ Having been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, there being, for chief corner stone, Jesus Christ himself,–– ²¹ In whom, an entire building, in process of being fitly joined together, is growing into a holy shrine in [the] Lord; ²² In whom, ye also, are being builded together, into a habitation of God in Spirit.

²² In whom, ye also, are being builded together, into a habitation of God in Spirit.

⁷ Of which I was made a minister, according to the free–gift of the favour of God which was given unto me, according to the energy of his power: ⁸ Unto me––the less than least of all saints, was given this favour, unto the nations, to announce the glad–message of the untraceable riches of the Christ,

⁸ Unto me––the less than least of all saints, was given this favour, unto the nations, to announce the glad–message of the untraceable riches of the Christ,

¹⁹ To get to know, also, the knowledge–surpassing, love of the Christ,––in order that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God:

¹³ Until we all advance––into the oneness of the faith, and the personal knowledge of the Son of God, into a man of full–growth, into the measure of the stature of the fulness of the Christ;

² And walk in love––even as, the Christ also, loved you, and delivered himself up in your behalf, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for a fragrance of sweet smell.

⁹ For, the fruit of the light, is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,––

¹⁸ And be not getting drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be getting filled in Spirit; –– ¹⁹ Speaking to yourselves, with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs; singing, and striking the strings, with your heart unto the Lord;

¹⁰ For the rest, be empowering yourselves in the Lord, and in the grasp of his might:

¹⁹ And on behalf of me; ––that, unto me, may be given discourse in the opening of my mouth, with freedom of utterance, to make known the sacred secret [of the glad–message]

⁷ According as it is right in me to have this regard in behalf of you all,––because ye have had me in your hearts, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad–message, all of you being, joint partakers of my favour.

¹¹ Filled with that fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.
¹² Howbeit, I am minded, brethren, that ye should be, getting to know, that, the things which relate unto myself, rather, unto an advancement of the glad–message, have fallen out, ¹³ So that, my bonds, have become manifest in Christ, in the whole palace, and unto all the rest,–– ¹⁴ And [so that], the most of the brethren in the Lord, assured by my bonds, are becoming more abundantly bold to be fearlessly speaking the word of God:––

²⁷ Only, in a manner worthy of the glad–message of the Christ, be using your citizenship; in order that––whether coming and seeing you, or being absent, I may hear of the things which concern you––that ye are standing fast in one spirit, with one soul, joining for the combat along with the faith of the glad–message;

¹ If there be, therefore, any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any tender affections and compassions, ² Fill ye up my joy––that, the same thing, ye esteem, the same love, possessing, joined in soul, the one thing, esteeming,––

⁴ Not, to your own things, severally looking, but, to the things of others, severally:–– ⁵ The same thing, esteem, in yourselves, which also, in Christ Jesus, [ye esteem], ––

⁸ And, in fashion, being found, as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient as far as death, yea, death upon a cross.

¹⁷ Nay! if I am even to be poured out as a drink–offering, upon the sacrifice and public ministry of your faith, I rejoice, yea rejoice together with you all,––

³ For, we, are the circumcision, who in the Spirit of God, are doing divine service, and are boasting in Christ Jesus, and, not in flesh, having confidence,––

¹⁶ Nevertheless, whereunto we have advanced, in the same rank, stepping along.

² Euodia, I exhort, and, Syntche, I exhort,––on the same thing, to be resolved in the Lord:––

⁹ The things which ye have both learned, and accepted, and heard, and seen in me, the same, practise; ––and, the God of peace, shall be with you.

¹⁷ Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is to abound unto your account. ¹⁸ But I have all things in full, and have more than enough, I am filled, having welcomed from Epaphroditus the things that came from you,––a fragrance of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing unto God.

⁶ When it presented itself unto you; even as, in all the world also, it is bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day when ye heard, and came personally to know the favour of God in truth,

⁸ Who also hath made evident unto us your love in spirit.

⁸ Who also hath made evident unto us your love in spirit.
⁹ For this cause, we also, from the day when we heard [of you], cease not, in your behalf, praying and asking––that ye may be filled unto the personal knowledge of his will, in all spiritual wisdom and discernment, ¹⁰ So as to walk worthily of the Lord, unto all pleasing, in every good work, bearing fruit, and growing in the personal knowledge of God,

²⁵ Of which, I, have become minister––according to the administration of God which hath been given unto me to you–ward, to fill up the word of God,

¹ For I desire you to know, how great a contest I am having––in behalf of you, and of those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

¹⁶ Let, the word of the Christ, dwell within you richly,––in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another, with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, with gratitude, raising song with your hearts unto God: ¹⁷ And whatsoever ye may be doing, in word, or in work, all things, [do] in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks unto the Divine Father through him:––

¹² Epaphras who is from among you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you,––at all times, contending in your behalf in his prayers, that ye may be caused to stand complete and fully assured in everything willed by God;

⁵ How that, our glad–message, came not unto you, in word only, but also in power, and in Holy Spirit, and in much assurance,––even as ye know what manner of men we became unto you, for your sake;

² But, though we had previously suffered, and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the glad–message of God with much conflict.

⁹ For ye remember, brethren, our toil and hardship: night and day, working, so as not to be a burden unto any of you, we proclaimed unto you the glad–message of God,

¹⁵ Who have both slain the, Lord, Jesus––and the prophets, and, us, have persecuted, and, unto God, are displeasing, and, unto all men, are contrary,––

¹⁷ Now, we, brethren, having been bereaved away from you, for the season of an hour,––in presence, not in heart, gave more abundant diligence, your face, to behold, with much longing; ¹⁸ Wherefore, we desired to come unto you––even, I, Paul, both once and again,––and, Satan, thwarted us.

⁶ But, when, just now, Timothy came unto us, from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love,––and that ye have good remembrance of us, continually, longing to see, us,––even as, we also, to see you, ⁷ For this cause, were we consoled, brethren, over you, in all our necessity and tribulation, through your faith; ⁸ Because, now, we live,––if only, ye, stand fast in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanksgiving can we render back, unto God, concerning you, on occasion of all the joy wherewith we rejoice, for your sakes, before our God?–– ¹⁰ Night and day, making very abundant entreaties, that we may see your face, and fit in the things which are lacking in your faith?

¹⁰ Night and day, making very abundant entreaties, that we may see your face, and fit in the things which are lacking in your faith?

¹¹ Wherefore be consoling one another, and building up, each the other,––even as ye are also doing.

¹⁴ But we exhort you, brethren––admonish the disorderly, soothe them of little soul, help the weak, be longsuffering towards all:

²³ But, the God of peace himself, hallow you completely, and, entire, might your spirit, and soul, and body,––[so as to be] unblameable in the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ,––be preserved!

²⁵ Brethren! be praying for us [also].

¹⁰ Whensoever he shall come, to be made all–glorious in his saints, and to be marveled at in all who believed,––because our witness unto you was believed,––in that day.
¹¹ Unto which end, we are also praying continually for you, that our God may count, you, worthy of your calling, and fulfill every good–pleasure of goodness and work of faith, with power,–– ¹² That the name of our Lord Jesus may be made all–glorious in you, and, ye, in him, According to the favour of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ But may, our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father,––Who hath loved you, and given you age–abiding consolation and good hope by favour, ¹⁷ Console your hearts, and confirm you in every good work and word!

¹⁷ Console your hearts, and confirm you in every good work and word!

¹ For the rest, brethren, be praying for us,––that, the word of the Lord, may be running, and gaining glory, according as [it did] even with you; ² And that we may be rescued from the presuming and wicked men; for, not all, hold the faith.

¹⁶ But may, the Lord of peace himself, give you peace, always, in every way. The Lord, be with you all.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus––by injunction of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope,––

¹¹ According to the glad–message of the glory of the happy God, with which entrusted am, I.

¹¹ According to the glad–message of the glory of the happy God, with which entrusted am, I.
¹² Grateful, am I unto him that empowered me, Christ Jesus our Lord, in that, faithful, he accounted me, putting me into ministry,–– ¹³ Though, formerly, a defamer, and persecutor, and insulter; nevertheless mercy was shown me, because, without knowledge, I acted, in unbelief: ¹⁴ Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

⁷ Unto which, I, have been appointed proclaimer and apostle––Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood––a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

⁶ These things, submitting to the brethren, thou shall be, a noble, minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing thyself with the words of the faith, and of the noble teaching which thou hast closely studied.

¹³ I charge thee, before God, who engendereth life in all things, and Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, witnessed the noble confession, ¹⁴ That thou keep the commandment without spot, free from reproach, until the forthshining of our Lord Jesus Christ––

⁴ longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears,––in order that, with joy, I may be filled: ⁵ A reminder, having received, of the unfeigned faith, that is in thee,––such, as dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice,––I am persuaded, moreover, that [it dwelleth], in thee also.
⁶ For which cause, I put thee in remembrance, to be stirring up God’s gift of favour, which is in thee through means of the laying on of my hands;

¹¹ Whereunto, I, have been appointed herald and apostle and teacher; ¹² For which cause, these things also, am I suffering; nevertheless I am not being put to shame, for I know him whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is, able, to guard, that which I have entrusted, [to him] unto, that, day.

¹⁶ The Lord grant mercy unto the house, of Onesiphorus, in that, ofttimes, hath he refreshed me, and, as regardeth my chain, hath not been put to shame,

¹ Thou, therefore, my child, be empowering thyself in the favour that is in Christ Jesus,

¹⁴ Of these things, be putting [them] in remembrance, adjuring [them] before God not to be waging word–battles,––useful, for nothing, occasioning a subversion of them that hearken.

¹¹ persecutions, sufferings, what manner of things, befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what manner of persecutions, I endured,––and, out of all, the Lord, rescued me; ––

¹⁶ Every scripture, [is] God–breathed, and profitable––unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto the discipline that is in righteousness,–– ¹⁷ In order that, ready, may be the man, of God, unto every good work, being well–prepared.

¹ I adjure [thee] before God, and Christ Jesus––Who is about to be judging living and dead,––both as to his forthshining and his kingdom,

¹⁷ But, the Lord, stood by me, and empowered me, in order that, through me, the proclamation, might be fully made, and, all the nations, might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of a lion:––

²² The Lord, be with thy spirit. Favour, be with you.

³ Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue,–– ⁴ That they may constrain the young women to be, lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

⁹ Servants, unto their own masters, to be submitting themselves in all things, to be, well–pleasing, not gainsaying, ¹⁰ not taking anything away, shewing, all good faith,––that, the instruction which is of our Saviour God, they may adorn in all things.

¹ Be putting them in mind, unto rulerships, unto authorities, to be in submission, to be yielding to rule, for every good work, to be, prepared,

⁵ Hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus and towards all the saints,––

⁷ For, much joy, have I had, and encouragement, by occasion of thy love, in that, the tender affections of the saints, have had rest given them by thee, brother.

¹⁹ I, Paul, have written [it] with, my own, hand,––I, will repay [it]; that I may not tell thee––that, thyself, unto me, thou still owest. ²⁰ Yea! brother, I, would, from thee, have help, in the Lord: give rest unto my tender affections in Christ. ²¹ Confident of thine obedience, I have written unto thee, knowing that, even beyond what I say, thou wilt do:––

⁴ God, jointly witnessing also, both with signs and wonders and manifold mighty works, and with distributions of Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

¹⁷ Whence he was obliged, in every way, unto the brethren, to be made like, that he might become a merciful and faithful high–priest, in the things pertaining unto God,––for the making of propitiation for the sins of the people.

¹ For, every high–priest who from among men is taken, on behalf of men, is appointed, as to the things pertaining unto God, that he may be offering [both] gifts and sacrifices for sins,––

⁹ And, being made perfect, became, to all them that obey him, Author of salvation age–abiding;

¹² For, even when ye ought to be teachers, by reason of the time, again, have ye, need, that one be teaching, you, what are the first principles of the oracles of God, and have become such as have, need, of milk, not, of strong food;

⁹ But we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things which are better and which contain salvation, though, even thus we speak. ¹⁰ For, not unrighteous, is God, to be forgetful of your work and of the love which ye have shewn forth for his name, in that ye have ministered unto the saints, and are ministering, ¹¹ But we covet that, each one of you, be shewing forth the same diligence, unto the full assurance of the hope throughout:

¹¹ But we covet that, each one of you, be shewing forth the same diligence, unto the full assurance of the hope throughout: ¹² In order that, not slothful, ye may become, but imitators of them who, through faith and patience, were becoming heirs of the promises. ¹³ For, when to Abraham God made promise, seeing he had no one greater by whom to swear, He sware, by himself,–– ¹⁴ saying––Truly, if blessing I will bless thee, and, multiplying, I will multiply thee; ¹⁵ And, thus, being patient, he attained unto the promise. ¹⁶ For, men, by the greater one, swear, and, with them, an end of all gainsaying by way of confirmation is, the oath: ¹⁷ Wherein God, being, more abundantly disposed to shew forth unto the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his counsel, mediated, with an oath,–– ¹⁸ In order that, through means of two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to make himself false, a mighty consolation, we might have, who have fled along to grasp, the fore–lying hope, ¹⁹ Which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into the interior of the veil:

²⁴ And let us attentively consider one another, to provoke unto love and noble works,–– ²⁵ Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, according to the custom of some, but exhorting, and by so much the more as this, by as much as ye behold, the day, drawing near.

³⁵ Do not, then, cast away your freedom of speech,––the which hath a great recompense. ³⁶ For, of endurance, ye have need, in order that, the will of God having done, Ye may bear away, the promise.

⁸ By faith, being called, Abraham obeyed––to come forth into a place he was destined to receive for an inheritance; and he came forth, not well knowing whither he was coming.

¹⁶ But, of the doing good and of fellowship, be not forgetful; for, with such sacrifices as these, is, God, well–pleased.

²⁰ But, the God of peace, He that led up from among the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, with the blood of an age–abiding covenant,––our Lord Jesus,

²² Now I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation,––for, even with brief [words], have I sent unto you.

²² Become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only––reasoning yourselves astray;

⁵ Hearken! my brethren beloved:––Hath not, God, chosen the destitute in the world [to be] rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? ⁶ Whereas, ye, have dishonoured the destitute man! Do not, the rich, oppress you? and, themselves, drag you into courts of justice?

¹³ Come now! ye that say––Today or Tomorrow, we will journey unto this city here, and will spend there a year, and will trade and get gain,–– ¹⁴ Men who are not versed in the morrow––of what sort your life [will be]; for ye are, a vapour––for a little, appearing, then, just disappearing! ¹⁵ Instead of your saying––If, the Lord, be pleased, we shall both, live and do this or that;

¹⁵ Instead of your saying––If, the Lord, be pleased, we shall both, live and do this or that;

⁷ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the Presence of the Lord:––Lo! the husbandman, awaiteth the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it, until it receive the early and the latter rain: ⁸ Be, ye also, patient, Stablish your hearts, because, the Presence of the Lord, hath drawn near. ⁹ Be not sighing, brethren, one against another, lest ye be judged,––Lo! the Judge, before the doors, is standing. ¹⁰ An example, take ye, brethren, of distress and patience,––the prophets who have spoken in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Lo! we pronounce them happy who have endured; ––Of the endurance of Job, ye have heard, and, the end of the Lord, have ye seen,––that, of much tender affection, is the Lord, and full of compassion,

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who, according to his great mercy, hath regenerated us unto a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,

⁸ Whom, not having seen, ye love, on whom, though at present not looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with glory,

¹² Unto whom it was revealed––that, Not unto themselves, but unto us, they were ministering them, which things have, now, been announced unto you through them who have told you the good tidings with Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven: into which things messengers are coveting to obtain a nearer view.
¹³ Wherefore, girding up the loins of your mind, keeping sober, perseveringly direct your hope unto the favour, being borne along to you, in the revealing of Jesus Christ:

²¹ who, through him, are faithful towards God,––Who raised him from among the dead, and glory to him gave, So that your faith and hope are directed towards God:

⁵ Yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, for a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, well–pleasing unto God through Jesus Christ;

⁹ But, ye, are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a peculiar treasure, that, the excellences, ye may tell forth, of him who, out of darkness, hath called you into his marvelous light:–– ¹⁰ Who, at one time, were a No–people, but, now, are a people of God,––who had not been enjoying mercy, but, now, have received mercy.

⁸ And, finally, all, being of one mind, having fellow––feeling, attached to the brethren, of tender affection, of lowly mind:

²⁰ [Spirits] unyielding at one time, when the longsuffering of God was holding forth a welcome in the days of Noah, there being in preparation an ark––[going] into which, a few, that is eight, souls, were brought safely through by means of water,––

¹⁰ Each one, according as he hath received a gift of favour, unto one another, ministering the same, as careful stewards of the manifold favour of God: ¹¹ If any one speaketh, as oracles of God, if any one ministereth, as of strength which, God, supplieth,––that, in all things, God may be glorified through Jesus Christ,––unto whom are the glory and the dominion, unto the ages of ages. Amen!

¹² By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I account him, have I briefly written, unto you, exhorting and adding testimony––that, this, is the true favour of God––within which, stand ye fast!

⁵ And, for this very reason also––adding, on your part, all diligence, supply, in your faith, excellence, and, in your excellence, knowledge, ⁶ And, in your knowledge, self–control, and, in your self–control, endurance, and, in your endurance, godliness, ⁷ And, in your godliness, brotherly affection, and, in your brotherly affection, love. ⁸ These things, unto you, belonging and abounding, neither idle nor unfruitful, constitute you, regarding the personal knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹² Wherefore, I shall be certain to be, always, putting you in remembrance concerning these things,––although, indeed, ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth;

¹² Wherefore, I shall be certain to be, always, putting you in remembrance concerning these things,––although, indeed, ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth; ¹³ Right, nevertheless, I account it––as long as I am in this tent, to be stirring you up by putting you in remembrance, ¹⁴ Knowing that, speedy, is the putting off of my tent––even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me: ¹⁵ Yea, I will give diligence also, that, at every time, ye may be able, after my own departure, to be keeping up the remembrance of, these very things.

²⁰ Of this, first, taking note––that, no prophecy of scripture, becometh, self–solving; ²¹ For not, by will of man, was prophecy brought in, at any time, but, as, by Holy Spirit, they were borne along, spake, men, from God.

¹ This, already, beloved, is the second letter I am writing unto you; and, in these letters, I am stirring up––by way of calling to remembrance––your uncorrupted mind, ² To remember the fore–spoken declarations made by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour, by your apostles.

⁹ The Lord is, not slack, concerning his promise, as some count, slackness; but is long–suffering with regard to you, not being minded that any should perish, but that, all, unto repentance, should come.

¹⁵ And account, our Lord’s long suffering, [to be] salvation:––even as, our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, hath written unto you;

¹² I write unto you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven you, for the sake of his name: ¹³ I write unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye understand the Father: ¹⁴ I have written unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I have written you, young men, because ye are, strong, and the word of God, within you, abideth, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

¹⁴ I have written unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I have written you, young men, because ye are, strong, and the word of God, within you, abideth, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

²¹ I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because, no falsehood, is, of the truth.

¹⁸ Dear children! Let us not be loving in word, nor yet with the tongue, but in deed and truth.

¹³ These things, have I written unto you––in order that ye may know that ye have, Life Age–abiding––unto you who believe on the name of the Son of God.

⁶ Who have borne witness to thy love before the assembly: whom thou wilt do, nobly, to set forward worthily of God.

³ Beloved! though I was using all diligence to be writing unto you concerning our common salvation, yet have I had necessity to write at once unto you, exhorting you to be earnestly contending for, the faith, once for all delivered unto the saints. ⁴ For there have crept in unobserved certain men, who, from of old, have been publicly notified for this sentence, ungodly, men, the favour of our God, turning into wantonness, and, our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ, denying. ⁵ I am minded, therefore, to put you in remembrance,––though ye know all things once for all, That the Lord, when a people out of Egypt he had saved, in, the next place, them that believed not, destroyed.

⁹ Whereas, Michael, the chief–messenger, when, with the adversary, disputing, he was reasoning about the body of Moses, durst not impose on him a defamatory sentence, but said––The Lord rebuke thee!

²⁰ But, ye, beloved! building yourselves up in your most holy faith, in Holy Spirit, praying, ²¹ Yourselves, in God’s love, keep,––awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto age–abiding life. ²² And, on some, indeed, have mercy,––such as are in doubt, be saving, out of the fire, snatching them; ²³ But, on others, have mercy with fear, hating even, the garment, spotted by the flesh.

⁶ and he hath made us [to be] a kingdom––priests unto his God and Father, Unto him, be the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages. Amen.

⁵ And, one of the elders, saith unto me––Do not weep! Lo! the lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath overcome, to open the scroll and the seven seals thereof.

¹⁶ I, Jesus, have sent my messenger, to bear witness unto you of these things, for the assemblies. I, am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and the morning Star.
