⁷ For no one of us lives for himself; and no one dies for himself; ⁸ for if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; whether therefore we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For this end Christ died and lived again, that he might exercise lordship over the dead and living.

¹⁴ I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is defiled in itself, except to him that thinks any thing to be defiled; to him it is defiled. ¹⁵ For if your brother is grieved by your food, you no longer walk in love.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; ¹⁸ for he that in this serves Christ is well pleasing to God and approved by men. ¹⁹ Let us therefore pursue the things of peace and those which edify one another. ²⁰ On account of food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure, but evil is to the man that eats with offense; ²¹ it is good not to eat meat nor drink wine, nor [do] any thing by which your brother stumbles. ²² You have faith; have it for yourself before God, Blessed is he that condemns not himself in what he approves; ²³ but he that doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and every thing which is not of faith is sin.

^{14 (1:11)} I write these things not to shame you, but as my beloved children, I admonish you.

^{1 (2:1)} IT is commonly reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not among the gentiles, that a man should have his father's wife.

¹⁰ not altogether the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and rapacious, or idolaters, since then you would have to go out of the world. ¹¹ But now I have written to you not to associate, if any one called a brother is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, even to eat with such a one. ¹² For what business have I to judge those without? Do you not judge those within?

^{1 (2:3)} Dare any of you having a business with another be judged by the wicked, and not by the saints? ² Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of the lowest courts? ³ Know you not that we shall judge angels? Much more then things pertaining to this life? ⁴ If then you have courts for the business of this life, do you constitute them of the most abject in the church?

⁶ But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers. ⁷ Now therefore there is a great fault among you, that you go to law one with another. Why not rather suffer injustice? why not rather be defrauded?

⁹ Know you not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹³ Food for the stomach, and the stomach for food; but God will destroy both it and them. And the body is not for fornication but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body;

¹⁵ Know you not that your bodies are Christ's members? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them a harlot's members? by no means.

¹⁵ Know you not that your bodies are Christ's members? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them a harlot's members? by no means. ¹⁶ Know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body [with her]? For the two, says he, shall be one flesh.

¹⁹ Know you not that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit in you which you have from God, and you are not your own?

²³ You are bought with a price; be not servants of men.

⁴ Concerning eating things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

⁷ But all have not this knowledge; and some with the conscience [unenlightened] even till now eat an idol's [sacrifice] as an idol's sacrifice, and their conscience being weak is defiled. ⁸ But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat not are we worse, nor if we eat are we better. ⁹ But beware lest your liberty should become an offense to the weak. ¹⁰ For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat things offered to idols? ¹¹ And will not the weak brother for whom Christ died perish by your knowledge? ¹² But when you thus sin against the brothers, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. ¹³ Wherefore, if food offends my brother, I will eat no meat forever, that I may not offend my brother.

¹² And if others have this right, do we not have it more? But we have not used this right, but endure all things, that we may not impede the gospel of Christ.

^{24 (4:3)} Know you not that those who run in the race all indeed run, but one takes the prize. So run that you may obtain.

³ and all eat the same spiritual food, ⁴ and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual rock which followed them, and that rock was Christ; ⁵ but with many of them God was not pleased; for they were destroyed in the wilderness.

^{23 (4:6)} All things are lawful, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful, but all things do not edify. ²⁴ Let no one seek his own but the good of another. ²⁵ Whatever is sold in the market eat, asking no questions for conscience' sake; ²⁶ for the earth is the Lord's and all it contains. ²⁷ But if an unbeliever invites you and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for conscience' sake. ²⁸ But if any one says to you, This has been offered to an idol, eat not for his sake that informed you, and for conscience' sake. ²⁹ I mean not your conscience, but that of the other. For why is my freedom limited by the conscience of another? ³⁰ If I partake with thanks, why am I blamed for that for which I give thanks? ³¹ Whether then you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

³¹ Whether then you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ³² Be without offense both to Jews and Greeks, and the church of God, ³³ as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit but that of many, that they may be saved.

³ But I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman, the man, and the head of Christ, God.

^{27 (6:4)} And you are a body of Christ, and members in particular.

³³ for God is not [the friend] of disorder but of peace.

¹⁵ and we are found also false witnesses of God, because we testified in regard to God that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up if indeed the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, Christ was not raised; ¹⁷ and if Christ was not raised, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins, ¹⁸ and those then who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. ^{20 (7:3)} But now Christ has been raised from the dead, a first fruit of those that have slept.

²³ But each one in his own order; Christ a first fruit, then those who are Christ's at his coming;

³³ Be not deceived; evil companionships corrupt good morals. ³⁴ Awake to righteousness and sin not; for some have not a knowledge of God. I speak to your shame.

^{50 (7:6)} But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor shall destruction inherit indestructibleness.

^{1 (8:1)} CONCERNING the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so also do you.

^{15 (8:5)} And I exhort you, brothers, know the family of Stephanas, for it is a first fruit of Achaia, and they devoted themselves to serving the saints;

¹⁴ knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and present us with you.

¹⁸ while we look not on the things which are seen but on the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are for a time, but those which are unseen are eternal.

¹⁵ and he died for all, that those who live should no more live for themselves but for him that died for them and rose again.

^{14 (1:19)} Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what participation has righteousness with wickedness? or what communion has light with darkness?

¹⁶ and what agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God; as God said, I will dwell in them, and I will walk in them, and I will be to them a God and they shall be to me a people.

² For I am zealous for you with a godly zeal, for I joined you, a chaste virgin, to one husband, to present to Christ;

²¹ lest when I come again my God shall humble me before you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned, and not changed their minds, in respect to impurity and fornication and lewdness which they have committed.

¹⁶ knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by faith and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no flesh be justified. ¹⁷ But if seeking to be justified by Christ we are found to be ourselves also sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? By no means.

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ; and I no longer live myself, but Christ lives in me; and the present life which I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

⁸ And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed.

¹¹ And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith,

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree,

^{21 (2:4)} Is the law then against the promises of God? By no means. For if a law had been given, able to give life, righteousness would really have been by the law;

²⁴ So that the law was our schoolmaster to lead to Christ, that we might be justified by faith;

¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, impurity, lewdness, ²⁰ idolatry, magic, enmities, strife, envy, anger, contentions, dissensions, heresies, ²¹ murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²¹ murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.

¹⁴ But far be it from me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me and I to the world.

¹⁹ and what the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the operation of his mighty power, ²⁰ which he performed in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly [worlds],

²² and put all things in subjection under his feet, and made him head over all things to the church, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all things in all.

^{1 (1:4)} And you being dead in trespasses and sins,— ² in which you formerly walked according to the life of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit which now operates in the children of disobedience, ³ among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, performing the wishes of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath even as others;

²¹ by which all the building being fitted together grows into a holy temple in the Lord, ²² in which you also are built up together for a spiritual habitation of God.

³ using diligence to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. ⁴ There is one body, and one spirit, as you also are called in one hope of your call;

¹² for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of Christ,

¹⁵ but speaking the truth with love we may grow to him in all things, who is the head, Christ; ¹⁶ by whom all the body being joined together and compacted by the supply of every joint, according to the proportionate operation of every part, makes increase of the body to the edification of itself in love. ^{17 (2:3)} This I say then and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the other gentiles walk, in the vanity of their minds, ¹⁸ with their understandings darkened, alienated from the life of God on account of the ignorance which is in them, on account of the hardness of their hearts, ¹⁹ who being without feeling have given themselves up to lewdness, to commit every impurity with greediness. ²⁰ But you have not so learned Christ, ²¹ if you have indeed heard him, and been instructed by him as the truth is in Jesus, ²² that you should lay aside your former mode of life the old man destroyed by deceitful desires,

²⁸ Let him that has stolen steal no more, but rather let him labor, doing that which is good with his hands, that he may have to give to him that needs.

^{3 (2:5)} Let not fornication and any impurity or covetousness be named among you, as becomes saints, ⁴ nor indecorum and foolish talking, or jesting, things not becoming, but rather giving of thanks. ⁵ For you know this, that no fornicator, or impure, or covetous person, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

⁸ For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,—

²³ for the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; he is the savior of the body.

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, purifying it with the washing of water with the word,

³⁰ for we are members of his body. ³¹ For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

²⁰ according to my expectation and hope that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but with all boldness as always also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

⁵ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

¹⁴ Do all things without complainings and disputations, ¹⁵ that you may be blameless and sincere, children of God without blame in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as luminaries in the world,

¹⁰ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the participation of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, ¹¹ that I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

²¹ who will change our humble body, and make it like his glorious body, by the power by which he is able also to subject all things to himself.

¹⁹ and not holding the head, from which all the body being supplied and compacted by means of joints and tendons grows with an increase of God.

²² all which are to perish in the using—according to the commandments and instructions of men? ²³ Which have an appearance of wisdom in voluntary worship and humiliation, and in a rigorous treatment of the body, [which is held] in no respect for the surfeiting of the flesh.

^{5 (2:2)} Put to death, therefore, your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness which is idolatry,

^{5 (2:2)} Put to death, therefore, your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness which is idolatry, ⁶ for which comes the wrath of God. ⁷ In which also you walked formerly when you lived in them;

²⁵ for he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done, and there is no respect of persons.

¹³ to confirm your hearts without blame in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

³ For this is the will of God, your purity, that you should abstain from fornication,

³ For this is the will of God, your purity, that you should abstain from fornication, ⁴ that each one should know how to have his wife in purity and honor, ⁵ not with inordinate desires like the gentiles who know not God,

⁵ not with inordinate desires like the gentiles who know not God, ⁶ that he should not go beyond and defraud his brother in the matter, because the Lord is a punisher of all these, as we also told you before and fully testified.

⁶ that he should not go beyond and defraud his brother in the matter, because the Lord is a punisher of all these, as we also told you before and fully testified. ⁷ For God has not called us to impurity, but to purity.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also will God bring with him those that have fallen asleep on account of Jesus.

¹⁵ See that no one renders evil for evil, but always pursue the good both one to another and to all.

^{13 (1:4)} But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you to salvation by purification of spirit, and belief of the truth,

⁹ not that we have not a right [to a support], but that we may make ourselves an example for you to follow us.

⁹ knowing this, that a law is not made for a righteous man, but for the wicked and disorderly, the impious and sinful, the unholy and profane, murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers and murderers of their fellow-men, ¹⁰ fornicators, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,

⁴ No one who serves as a soldier is involved in the business of life, that he may please him who has employed him as a soldier.

^{22 (1:8)} But avoid youthful desires, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

¹⁰ for Demas forsook me having loved the present life and went to Thessalonica, Cresces to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia;

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all wickedness, and purify for himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

³ For we formerly were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, detestable, and hating one another; ⁴ but when the goodness and philanthropy of the Saviour our God appeared, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we did but according to his mercy he saved us through the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ that having been justified by his grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

¹¹ For both he that sanctifies and the sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

¹² not with blood of goats and bullocks, but with his own blood, entered once into the sanctuary having found eternal redemption.

²² let us approach with a true heart in a full assurance of faith, sprinkled in heart from an evil conscience, and washed in body with pure water,

³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot escaped destruction with the disobedient, having received the spies in peace.

¹⁴ Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord, ¹⁵ taking care that no one may come short of the grace of God, that no root of bitterness springing up may make trouble and by it many be defiled, ¹⁶ that no one may be a fornicator or unholy person like Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright.

¹⁶ that no one may be a fornicator or unholy person like Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright.

⁴ Marriage is honorable in all, and married life without blame; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

⁵ And if any one of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and upbraids not, and it shall be given him.

^{16 (1:3)} Be not deceived, my beloved brothers.

²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? ²² You see that faith cooperated with his works, and by works was faith made perfect, ²³ and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness, and he was called God's friend. ²⁴ You see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith only. ²⁵ And in like manner also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without a spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

^{13 (2:2)} What wise and intelligent man is there among you? Let him show his works by good conduct, in the meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, boast not and lie not against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom comes not from above, but is earthly, natural, demoniacal. ¹⁶ For where envy and strife are, there are disorder and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be persuaded, full of mercy and of good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to those who make peace.

^{1 (2:3)} Whence come wars and contentions among you? Come they not thence, from your pleasures that war in your members? ² You desire and have not; you kill, and envy, and cannot obtain; you fight and carry on war. You have not, because you do not ask; ³ you ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, to expend on your pleasures.

⁴ Behold, the wages of the laborers who harvested your fields, kept back by you, cry, and the loud calls of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace and peace be multiplied to you.

¹⁸ knowing that you were not redeemed from your vain mode of life received by tradition from your fathers, with destructible things, silver or gold,

^{22 (1:4)} Having purified your souls by obeying the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another fervently, from the heart,

⁵ do you also yourselves be built up living stones, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices well pleasing to God through Jesus Christ,

⁹ But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should declare the virtues of him who called you out of darkness into his glorious light;

^{11 (2:1)} BELOVED, I exhort you as strangers and foreigners, abstain from carnal desires, which war against the soul,

¹⁹ For this deserves thanks, if on account of a knowledge of God one endures pain, suffering unjustly. ²⁰ For what glory is it if when you sin and are punished you bear it patiently? But if you do well and suffer and bear it patiently, [this deserves thanks], for it is acceptable to God. ²¹ For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you a copy that you should follow his steps, ²² who committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth, ²³ who being reviled reviled not, suffering threatened not, but committed himself to him that judges righteously,

⁹ not returning evil for evil or railing for railing, but on the contrary blessing [your enemies], because to this you are called, that you may inherit blessing.

²¹ The archetype of which, baptism, also now saves us, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience in God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

² that you may no longer live the rest of your time in the flesh according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God. ³ For the time past is sufficient for us to have performed the will of the gentiles, walking in lewdness, inordinate desires, drunkenness, revellings, drinkings and unlawful idolatries,

¹⁵ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or as a meddler in other men's affairs;

^{1 (1:4)} But there were also false prophets among the people, as there shall also be false teachers among you, who shall bring in by stealth destructive heresies, even denying the master that bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction;

⁴ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but plunging them into Tartarus delivered them up in chains to be kept in darkness till the judgment,

⁹ He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness till now. ¹⁰ He that loves his brother continues in the light, and there is no offense in him; ¹¹ but he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹⁶ for all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world passes away, and its desires; but he that does the will of God continues for ever.

¹¹ For this is the message which you heard from the beginning; that we should love one another; ¹² not as Cain was of the evil one and killed his brother; and why did he kill him? because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous. ^{13 (1:12)} Wonder not, brothers, if the world hates you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brothers; he that loves not, continues in death. ¹⁵ Every one that hates his brother is a murderer; and we know that no murderer has eternal life continuing in him.

⁶ and the angels who kept not their own province, but left their habitation, he has kept under darkness in eternal chains, for the judgment of the great day;

¹² These are breakers at your love-feasts, feasting with you without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water driven about by winds, autumnal trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots,

^{14 (1:5)} And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of them, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousand of his saints ¹⁵ to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the wicked among them of all the deeds of impiety which they have impiously committed, and of all the hard speeches which impious sinners have spoken against him.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us and washed us from our sins with his blood,

²⁶ And to him that conquers and keeps my works till the end, I will give power over the nations, ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and crush them like earthen vessels, as I also have received of my Father,

²¹ To him that conquers will I give to sit down with me on my throne, as I conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.

⁹ And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast killed and hast redeemed to God with thy blood [men] from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

¹⁴ And I said to him, My Lord, you know. And he said to me, These are those who come out from great affliction, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

^{4 (11:6)} And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and the word of God, and who did not worship the beast nor his image and did not receive the mark on their forehead and on their right hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years;

⁸ But the fearful and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.

¹⁵ Without are dogs and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers and idolaters and whoever loves and practises falsehood.
