⁶ And passing through Phrygia and the country of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia, ⁷ coming by Mysia they endeavored to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;

^{15 (14:2)} And when she was baptized, and her house, she requested saying, If you have judged me faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay; and she constrained us.

³¹ And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, and your house. ³² And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and all those in his house. ^{33 (14:5)} And taking them that hour of the night, he washed them from their stripes, and was baptized, he and all his, immediately, ³⁴ and conducting them up into his house he set a table, and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.

¹⁸ And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers disputed with him, and some said, What does this trifler mean to say? And others, He seems to be a preacher of strange demons; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.

² And finding a certain Jew by the name of Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy, and his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome, he went to them,

⁸ And Crispus the synagogue ruler believed in the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians who heard believed and were baptized.

²² and coming down to Caesarea, and going up and saluting the church, he went down to Antioch;

² and he said to them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? And they said to him, We have not heard that there is a Holy Spirit. ³ And he said to them, With what then were you baptized? And they said, With John's baptism. ⁴ Paul said, John indeed baptized [administered] the baptism of a change of mind, telling the people to believe on him that was to come after him, that is, on Jesus.

⁶ and Paul putting his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

^{17 (18:4)} And from Miletus sending to Ephesus he called for the elders of the church.

²¹ testifying both to Jews and Greeks the change of mind to God, and the faith in our Lord Jesus.

²⁴ But life precious to myself, I make of no account that I may finish my course and the service which I received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

³² And now I commend you to God, and the word of his grace, who is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance with all the sanctified.

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

² And finding a ship crossing to Phenicia, going on board we set sail.

⁴ And finding the disciples we continued there seven days; and they told Paul, by the Spirit, not to go on to Jerusalem.

⁹ This man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. ¹⁰ And having continued there many days, there came down a certain prophet from Judea by the name of Agabus,

¹⁶ and some of the disciples from Caesarea went up with us, conducting [us] to Mnason a Cyprian, an early disciple with whom we lodged.

¹⁸ And on the following day Paul went with us to James, and all the elders were present.

²⁰ and having heard, they glorified God, and said to him, You see, brother, how many ten thousands there are of those who have believed, among the Jews, and all are zealots of the law;

²⁰ and having heard, they glorified God, and said to him, You see, brother, how many ten thousands there are of those who have believed, among the Jews, and all are zealots of the law; ²¹ and they have been informed of you, that you teach all the Jews among the gentiles to apostatize from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk according to the customs. ²² What then is [to be done]? They will hear everywhere that you have come. ²³ Do this, therefore, which we tell you. We have four men having a vow upon them;

³⁹ And Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of a not undistinguished city, I beg of you, permit me to speak to the people.

^{17 (20:8)} And when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I was in a trance,

²¹ And he said to me, Go, for I will send you to nations far away. ^{22 (20:9)} And they heard him to this word, and lifted up their voice saying, Take away such a man from the earth; it is not fit that he should live.

¹⁶ And in this also I endeavor always to have a conscience without offense towards God and man.

¹⁷ delivering you from the people, and the gentiles, to whom I send you ¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among the sanctified by faith in me. ¹⁹ Whence, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, ²⁰ but preached first to those at Damascus and Jerusalem, and in all the country of Judea, and to the gentiles, that they should change their minds and turn to God, performing works worthy of a change of mind.

²⁸ And Agrippa said to Paul, You almost persuade me to be a Christian.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes, the Jew first and also the Greek. ¹⁷ For God's righteousness is revealed in it by faith in the faith [the gospel]; as it is written; The righteous shall live by faith.

²² but God's righteousness is through the faith of Jesus Christ, in all and upon all that believe. For there is no difference;

²⁹ Is God [a God] of the Jews alone? and not also of the gentiles? Yes, also of the gentiles, ³⁰ since there is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith and the uncircumcision through the [same] faith.

⁷ for scarcely for a righteous man will one die, but for a good man some one perhaps would even dare to die;

¹⁵ For he says to Moses, I will be merciful to him to whom I may be merciful, and I will compassionate him whom I may compassionate. ¹⁶ Therefore, it is not of him that wills nor of him that runs, but of God that exercises mercy.

²⁰ Yes indeed, O man, who are you that reply against God? Shall the work say to him that made it, Why did you make me thus? ²¹ or has not the potter a right, in respect to the clay, to make of the same mass one vessel to honor and another to dishonor? ²² But if God wishing to show his wrath and to make known his power endured with much long suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, ²³ and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he before prepared for glory, ²⁴ whom he also called, us not of the Jews only but also of the gentiles, ²⁵ as he says also in Hosea, I will call them that were not my people, my people, and her that was not beloved, beloved, ²⁶ and in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called children of the living God.

^{30 (7:3)} What shall we say then? That nations who did not pursue righteousness attained a righteousness, but the righteousness which is by faith;

⁹ For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe with your mind that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved; ¹⁰ for with the mind we believe to righteousness, and with the mouth we confess to salvation.

¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him. ¹³ For every one that calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

³⁴ For who knew the mind of the Lord? or who was his counsellor? ³⁵ or who first gave to him, and it shall be repaid him? ³⁶ For of him and through him, and in him are all things; to him be glory forever; amen.

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.

^{7 (10:5)} Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also received you to the glory of God. ⁸ For I say that Christ was made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers, ⁹ and that the nations should glorify God for mercy; as it is written, For this cause will I praise thee among nations, and sing to thy name.

⁹ and that the nations should glorify God for mercy; as it is written, For this cause will I praise thee among nations, and sing to thy name. ¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice nations with his people.

¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice nations with his people. ¹¹ And again, Praise the Lord, all nations, and let all peoples praise him.

¹¹ And again, Praise the Lord, all nations, and let all peoples praise him. ¹² And again, Isaiah says, There shall be a root of Jesse and he shall stand up to rule nations, in him shall nations hope.

¹² And again, Isaiah says, There shall be a root of Jesse and he shall stand up to rule nations, in him shall nations hope. ¹³ And may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ^{14 (10:6)} And I am persuaded, my brothers, even I myself, concerning you, that you are full of kindness, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another; ¹⁵ but I have written more boldly to you in part, to refresh your minds on account of the grace given me by God

¹⁵ but I have written more boldly to you in part, to refresh your minds on account of the grace given me by God ¹⁶ that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the nations, administering as a priest the gospel of God, that the offering of the nations may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

²⁵ But now I am going to Jerusalem to serve the saints. ²⁶ For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor of the saints at Jerusalem. ²⁷ They have been pleased indeed, and their debtors they are; for if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also to serve them in things pertaining to the flesh.

¹⁶ And I also baptized the family of Stephanus; besides I do not know that I baptized any other.

²³ we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offense, and to the gentiles foolishness, ²⁴ but to the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and wisdom of God;

² For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused [the seed] to grow; ⁷ so neither is he that plants any thing, nor he that waters, but God that causes it to grow.

¹⁷ For this reason I sent you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere, in every church.

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.

¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother; else were your children impure, but now are they holy.

¹⁸ For first, when you come together in an assembly, I hear that there are divisions among you, and some part of it I believe.

^{12 (6:3)} For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body being many are one body, so also is Christ; ¹³ for we have all been baptized with one Spirit in one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and have all been made to drink one Spirit.

²⁸ And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then powers, then gifts of performing cures, aids, governments, different tongues.

⁵ does not behave unbecomingly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, devises not evil,

²³ If, therefore, the whole church comes together, and all speak with tongues, and there come in the unlearned and unbelieving, will they not say that you are mad?

³² And the spirits of prophets are subject to the prophets;

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

^{1 (8:1)} CONCERNING the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so also do you. ² On the first day of the week let each one of you lay aside by himself in store as God has prospered him, that there may be no collections made when I come. ³ And when I come, whom you shall approve, these will I send with letters to carry your charity to Jerusalem; ⁴ and if it seems best that I should go, they shall go with me.

¹⁷ Wishing this therefore, did I use lightness? or what I wish do I wish according to the flesh, that with me there may be the yes, yes, and the no, no?

¹⁸ And we all with unvailed face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same likeness, from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.

¹⁰ For godly sorrow produces a change of mind to salvation not to be repented of; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

² that in much trying affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality. ³ For according to their ability, I testify, and beyond their ability, of their own accord, ⁴ with much entreaty they desired of us the favor of a participation in the service to the saints;

¹² For if there is a willing mind, a man is acceptable according to what he has, and not according to what he has not. ¹³ Not that others may be relieved and you burdened, ¹⁴ but that there may be an equality; that at the present time your abundance may supply their deficiency, and that their abundance may supply your deficiency, that there may be an equality,

¹⁷ for he received the exhortation, and being extremely diligent went to you of his own accord. ¹⁸ And we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is in all the churches, ¹⁹ and not only so, but he has also been chosen by the churches as our travelling companion in this charity ministered by us for the glory of the same Lord and our promptitude, ²⁰ guarding against this, that no one may blame us in this abundance administered by us; ²¹ for we provide things honorable not only before the Lord, but also before men.

^{1 (2:4)} For concerning the service for the saints it is superfluous for me to write to you; ² for I know your readiness, of which I boasted in your behalf to the Macedonians that Achaia was ready a year ago, and your zeal has excited many.

^{1 (3:7)} It is not expedient therefore for me to boast [of these things]; for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. ² I know a man, in Christ above fourteen years, whether in the body I know not, or out of the body I know not, God knows,—such a one caught up to the third heaven. ³ I know even such a man,—whether in the body or out of the body I know not, God knows,—

⁸ For this I besought the Lord thrice that it might leave me.

¹⁷ neither did I go to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went to Arabia and returned again to Damascus. ^{18 (1:4)} Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and staid with him fifteen days; ¹⁹ and I saw no other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother. ²⁰ And what I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not. ^{21 (1:5)} Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. ²² But I was unknown by face to the churches of Christ in Judea,

²⁴ and they glorified God in me.

¹⁰ only [they wished] that we should remember the poor, which I was also forward to do. ^{11 (1:7)} But when Peter came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because he was to blame. ¹² For before some came from James he eat with the gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself; fearing those of the circumcision;

¹² For before some came from James he eat with the gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself; fearing those of the circumcision; ¹³ and the other Jews also dissembled with him, so that Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation. ¹⁴ But when I saw that they walked not correctly, according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before all, If you being a Jew live after the manner of the gentiles, and not after the manner of the Jews, why do you compel the gentiles to practise Judaism?

²⁶ For you are all children of God by the faith in Jesus Christ; ²⁷ for as many of you as are baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.

^{11 (1:5)} Wherefore, remember that you were formerly gentiles by birth, called uncircumcision by that called circumcision made in the flesh by the hand, ¹² that at that time you were without Christ, alienated from the polity of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world; ¹³ but now, in Christ Jesus you who were formerly far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made both one and broke down the middle wall of partition, ¹⁵ the enmity, and abolished by his flesh the law of commandments [consisting] of ordinances, that of the two he might create in himself one new man, making peace, ¹⁶ and reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having destroyed the enmity by it. ¹⁷ And he came and preached the good news of peace to you who were far off, and peace to those nigh, ¹⁸ for through him we both have access by one spirit to the Father.

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the children of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, ⁶ that the gentiles are co-heirs and of the same body and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel, ⁷ of which I was made a minister by the gracious gift of God, given to me by the operation of his power. ⁸ To me, who am the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the nations the unsearchable riches of Christ,

⁸ To me, who am the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the nations the unsearchable riches of Christ,

¹⁵ of whom all the family in heaven and on earth is named,

¹¹ And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

⁶ which is present with you as also in all the world, and is fruitful and increases, as also with you, from the day that you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God even our Father, ⁴ knowing, brothers beloved by God, your election, ⁵ that our gospel came not to you in word only, but with power and with the Holy Spirit and with full assurance, as you know what we were among you for your sakes.

⁹ for they declare of us what introduction we had to you, and how you turned from idols to God, to serve the living and true God, ¹⁰ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

² and sent Timothy, our brother and God's co-laborer in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and to exhort you in behalf of your faith, ³ that no one should be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed for this; ⁴ for indeed when we came to you, we told you before that we were about to suffer affliction, as it also happened, and you know. ⁵ For this reason, being no longer able to forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest in some way the tempter should have tempted you, and our labor be in vain. ^{6 (1:8)} But now Timothy having come to us from you and told us the good news of your faith and love, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, as we also you,

² that you be not soon shaken in mind, nor terrified, neither by a spirit, nor by a discourse, nor by an epistle as from us, as though the day of the Lord was at hand.

⁵ for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

^{17 (2:9)} Let the elders who rule well be accounted worthy of a double compensation, especially those who labor in word and teaching.

¹⁹ Against an elder receive not an accusation, except by two or three witnesses.

⁴ desiring to see you, remembering your tears, that I might be filled with joy, ⁵ having a remembrance of the unfeigned faith in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that [it dwells] also in you.

²⁵ in meekness correcting the adversaries, that God may give them a change of mind to a knowledge of the truth, ²⁶ and that they may recover themselves from the snare of the devil, who are made captives by him to his will.

¹⁰ But you have followed my instruction,—mode of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, patience,

^{5 (1:2)} For this cause I left you in Crete, that you might regulate things which are deficient, and appoint elders in every city, as I charged you,

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;

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to serve on account of those who are about to inherit salvation?

¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies to the purification of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who with an eternal spirit offered himself without fault to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

^{19 (4:1)} HAVING therefore, brothers, confidence in respect to the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ which [entrance] he consecrated for us a new and living way through the vail, that is his flesh, ²¹ and [having] a great priest over the house of God, 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, ²³ let us hold firmly the profession of the faith, without declining; for he is faithful that promised; ²⁴ and let us observe one another for a provocation of love and of good works, ²⁵ not forsaking our own congregation as some are in the habit of [doing], but exhorting [others], and so much the more as you see the day approaching. ^{26 (4:2)} For if we sin willingly after having received the knowledge of the truth, there is no longer a sacrifice left for sins,

^{32 (4:3)} But remember the former days, in which having been enlightened you endured a great conflict with sufferings, ³³ partly in being made a spectacle by reproaches and afflictions, and partly being companions of those so treated. ³⁴ For you sympathized with those in bonds, and received with joy the plunder of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession, and one that endures. ³⁵ Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has a great reward. ³⁶ For you have need of patience, that having done the will of God you may receive the promise. ³⁷ For yet a very little while, and he that is to come will come and will not delay; ³⁸ but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he draws back my soul takes no pleasure in him. ³⁹ But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of faith to the saving of the soul.

⁵ Let your life be without avarice, and be contented with what you have; for he said, I will never leave you, I will never forsake you; ⁶ so that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear; what can man do to me?

^{16 (1:3)} Be not deceived, my beloved brothers. ¹⁷ All good giving, and every perfect gift, comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or shadow of turning.

¹⁴ if any one is sick among you, let him send for the elders of the church, and let them pray for him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

⁹ Be hospitable one to another, without complaining; ¹⁰ as each has received a gift, minister the same among yourselves as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. ¹¹ If any one speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God, if any one serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the power for ever and ever; amen.

¹⁴ If you are reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

¹⁶ but as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, let him glorify God on this account.

^{1 (3:2)} The elders among you I exhort, who am a co-elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed;

⁴ through which have been given us very great and precious promises, that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption which is in the world by inordinate desire, ⁵ and for the same purpose also, giving all diligence add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge, ⁶ and to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience, and to patience piety, ⁷ and to piety brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. ⁸ For if these are in you and abound, they will make you not inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁹ for a man that is without these is blind, not seeing to a distance, and has forgotten the purification from his former errors.

^{1 (2:1)} THIS second epistle, beloved, I now write to you, in which I excite your pure minds by remembrance,

¹⁷ Do you therefore, beloved, knowing [these things] before, be on your guard not to be carried away with the error of the wicked and fall from your steadfastness, ¹⁸ but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever.

²⁷ And the anointing which you received from him continues in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; but as his anointing teaches you of all things, and is true and is not a lie, even as it has taught you, continue in him. ^{28 (1:8)} And now, little children, continue in him, that when he shall appear we may have boldness, and not be put to shame by him at his coming.

⁹ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has testified concerning his Son. ¹⁰ He that believes on the Son of God has the testimony in himself; he that believes not God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning his Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that has the Son has the life; he that has not the Son has not the life. ^{13 (2:8)} These things have I written to you, that you who believe in the name of the Son of God may know that you have eternal life.

^{1 (1:1)} THE elder to the elect Curia and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only but also all who have known the truth, ² on account of the truth which continues in you, and shall be with you forever. ³ Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, shall be with you in truth and love. ^{4 (1:2)} I rejoiced exceedingly that I found your children walking in the truth as we received commandment from the Father. ⁵ And now I beseech you, Curia, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but [one] which we had from the beginning, that we should love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. ⁷ For many deceivers have gone out into the world, who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in the flesh; this is the deceiver, and the antichrist. ⁸ Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not the labor which you performed, but receive a full reward. ⁹ Every one who goes beyond, and continues not in the doctrine of Christ, is without God. He that continues in the doctrine has both the Son and the Father. ¹⁰ If any one comes to you and brings not this doctrine, receive him not into your houses, and salute him not;

¹⁰ If any one comes to you and brings not this doctrine, receive him not into your houses, and salute him not; ¹¹ for he that salutes him is a partaker of his evil works. ^{12 (1:3)} Having many things to write, I do not wish to write with paper and ink, but I hope to be with you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be full. ¹³ The children of your elect sister salute you.

^{1 (1:1)} THE elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. ² Beloved, I desire above all things that you may prosper and be in health, as your soul prospers. ³ For I rejoiced exceedingly when the brothers came and testified of your truth, as you walk in truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than this, that I hear of my children walking in the truth.

⁴ I have no greater joy than this, that I hear of my children walking in the truth. ^{5 (1:2)} Beloved, you did faithfully whatever you do to the brothers, and that to strangers, ⁶ who testified of your love before the church, whom you will do well to send forward worthily of God. ⁷ For they went out for his name, taking nothing of the gentiles. ⁸ We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be co-laborers for the truth. ^{9 (1:3)} I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes desiring the pre-eminence does not receive us. ¹⁰ Therefore if I come I will remember his works which he performs, prating against us with evil words, and not being satisfied, in addition to these [things] he does not receive the brothers, and forbids and casts out of the church those wishing to do it. ^{11 (1:4)} Beloved, do not imitate evil but good. He that does good is of God; he that does evil has not seen God. ¹² Testimony is borne to Demetrius by all, and by the truth itself; and we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true. ^{13 (1:5)} I had many things to write, but wish not to write to you with ink and pen; ¹⁴ but hope soon to see you, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends salute you; salute the friends by name.

¹⁸ I advise you to buy of me gold purified in the fire that you may be rich, and white robes that you may put on, and the shame of your nakedness not appear, and an eye-salve to anoint your eyes that you may see.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that thirsts, come; let him that will, take the water of life freely.
