Hebrews 12 Cross References - Sawyer

^{1 (4:11)} Therefore also we, having so great a cloud of witnesses lying around us, laying aside every impediment and sin which entirely surrounds us, let us run with patience the race set before us, ² looking to the chief guide and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy set before him despised the shame and endured the cross, and sat down on the right hand of God. ³ For consider him that has endured such a contradiction from sinners, that you may not become faint and weary in your minds. ^{4 (5:1)} You have not yet resisted to blood contending against sin. ⁵ And you have forgotten the exhortation which says to you as to sons, My son, despise not the correction of the Lord and faint not when rebuked by him, ⁶ for the Lord corrects those whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives. ⁷ If you endure correction, God deals with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not correct? ⁸ But if you are without correction of which all are partakers, then you are of foreign birth, and not sons. ⁹ Moreover, we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us and we respected them; shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? ¹⁰ For they for a few days corrected us as seemed good to them, but he for the best, that we may partake of his holiness. ¹¹ And no correction seems to be joyful for the present but painful, but afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those exercised by it. ^{12 (5:2)} Wherefore hold up the hands that hang down, and the feeble knees, ¹³ and make straight courses for your feet, that the lame may not be turned out of the way, but may rather be healed. 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. ¹⁷ For you know that afterwards, wishing also to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind, though he sought it with tears. ¹⁸ For you have not come to a mountain that may be touched, and to a burning fire, and blackness and darkness and a tempest ¹⁹ and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, which those who heard desired that the word might not be spoken to them any more,— ²⁰ for they could not bear what was commanded, And if a beast touches the mountain it shall be stoned; ²¹ and so fearful was the sight, that Moses said, I fear and tremble,— ²² but you have come to Zion, the mountain and city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels in general assembly, ²³ and to the church of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge the God of all, and to spirits of the righteous made perfect, ²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to a sprinkled blood which speaks better than Abel. ^{25 (5:3)} See that you refuse not him that speaks; for if they did not escape who refused him that gave answers on earth, much more shall we [not escape] who turn ourselves away from him in heaven; ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth, but now it has been promised, saying, Hereafter once for all I will shake not only the earth, but also heaven. ²⁷ And this, Hereafter once for all, signifies the removal of the things shaken as of things made, that those not shaken may continue. ²⁸ Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace through which we may serve God acceptably, with piety and fear; ²⁹ for our God is also a consuming fire.

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. ⁹ Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called children of God.

³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King;

^{24 (7:3)} A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. ²⁵ It is sufficient for the disciple to be as his teacher, and the servant as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they call the members of his family by that name.

³⁷ He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; ³⁸ and he that does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

^{34 (22:14)} Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ And the chief priests in like manner also mocked him, with the scribes and elders, and said, ⁴² He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he is the king of Israel let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe on him; ⁴³ he trusted in God; let him deliver him if he wishes for him; for he said, I am a Son of God. ⁴⁴ The robbers also that were crucified with him did the same, and reproached him. ⁴⁵ And from the sixth hour there was darkness on all the land till the ninth hour; ⁴⁶ and at about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ⁴⁷ And some of those standing there hearing him, said, He calls for Elijah. ⁴⁸ And one of them ran immediately to him, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and putting it on a reed gave it to him to drink. ⁴⁹ But the rest said, Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come and save him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus crying again with a loud voice, gave up the spirit.

²⁴ Strive to enter in by the narrow gate; for many, I tell you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able. ²⁵ When the householder has risen and shut the door, and you stand without and knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us, and he will answer and say to you, I know you not whence you are, ²⁶ then you will say, We eat and drank in your presence, and you have taught in our streets; ²⁷ and he will say to you, I know not whence you are; depart from me, all doers of wickedness.

^{1 (19:1)} AND he came into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath; and they watched him closely.

²⁶ If any one comes to me, and hates not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and still more his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. ²⁷ And whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. ²⁸ For what man of you wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and estimate the expense, whether he has the means to finish? ²⁹ lest having laid its foundation, and not being able to finish, all who see ridicule him, ³⁰ saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish. ³¹ Or what king going to engage in war with another king, does not first sit down and consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand? ³² And if not, while he is yet a great way off, sending an embassy he desires conditions of peace. ³³ So, therefore, no one of you can be my disciple who does not forsake all that he has.

²² And Jesus hearing it, said to him, One thing you yet want; sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have a treasure in heaven, and come, follow me. ²³ And when he heard these things he was sad; for he was very rich. ²⁴ And Jesus seeing him, said, With what difficulty do those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

³⁹ And some of the Pharisees, from the multitude, said to him, Teacher, rebuke your disciples. ⁴⁰ And he answered and said to them, I tell you that if these should be silent the stones would cry out.

³⁴ Take heed to yourselves, that your hearts be not oppressed with revelling and drunkenness, and worldly cares, and that day come upon you suddenly;

²⁰ And the cup in like manner, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant [sealed] with my blood, which is poured out for you.

³² but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not entirely fail; and when you recover yourself, confirm your brothers.

³⁵ And the people stood beholding.

⁶ He is not here, but is raised. Remember how he told you while he was yet in Galilee,

⁸ And they remembered his words;

²⁶ Ought not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?

^{29 (2:3)} On the next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is a spirit.

³² and what he has seen and heard this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony.

^{39 (5:6)} And many of the Samaritans in that city believed on him, on account of the word of the woman, testifying, He told me all things which I have done.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet is without honor in his native country.

¹⁶ and on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done these things on the sabbath.

²⁷ and has given him authority and judgment to execute, because he is the Son of man.

⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

¹² And there was much complaining concerning him among the multitude; some said, He is a good man; others said, No; but he deceives the people.

¹³ Then the Pharisees said to him, You testify of yourself; your testimony is not true.

^{48 (11:4)} The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon? ⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

⁵² The Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, If any one shall keep my word he shall never taste death.

⁵⁶ Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day, and he saw, and was glad.

⁵⁹ Then they took up stones to cast at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

^{40 (12:7)} And the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and said to him, Are we also blind?

²⁰ and many of them said, He has a demon, and is mad; why do you hear him?

^{31 (13:2)} Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. ³² Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of these works do you stone me? ³³ The Jews answered him, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God. ³⁴ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said you are gods? ³⁵ If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken, ³⁶ do you tell him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God? ³⁷ If I do not my Father's works, believe me not; ³⁸ but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father. ³⁹ Then they sought again to take him by force; and he escaped out of their hand.

^{9 (15:2)} A great multitude of the Jews, therefore, knew that he was there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead. ¹⁰ And the chief priests took counsel to kill Lazarus also,

²⁴ I tell you most truly, that unless the kernel of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it continues alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I to this hour; ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified and will glorify it again.

³² and if I am raised on high from the earth I will draw all men to me.

³ he knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

^{31 (16:5)} When he had gone out Jesus said, Now the Son of man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. ³² If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will immediately glorify him.

^{18 (17:2)} If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before you. ¹⁹ If you were of this world, the world would be a friend to its own; but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I said to you, a servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours. ²¹ But all these things they will do to you, on my account, because they know not him that sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin. ²³ He that hates me, hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

^{1 (18:1)} JESUS spoke these words and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee, ² as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that as to all that thou hast given him he should give them eternal life. ³ And this is the eternal life; that they shall know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. ⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do.

²² He having said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave Jesus a blow, saying, Do you answer the chief priest thus?

²⁵ For David says of him, I saw the Lord always before me, he is on my right hand that I should not be moved; ²⁶ therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue was glad, and my flesh, moreover, shall also live in hope;

³⁰ Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him to set a descendant of his on his throne,

³⁶ Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly, that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ.

³¹ him has God exalted, a Prince and Saviour at his right hand, to give a change of mind to Israel and the forgiveness of sins.

⁴¹ They went therefore from the presence of the Sanhedrim, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer shame for the name of [Christ];

^{35 (5:11)} This is the Moses whom they denied, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? Him did God send to be a ruler and a redeemer by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁰ but to send to them to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and fornication, and things strangled, and blood.

²⁹ that you should abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and blood, and things strangled, and fornication, from which if you keep yourselves you will do well. Farewell.

²⁸ Take heed to yourselves, therefore, and to all the flock in which the Holy Spirit has made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he has purchased with his blood.

³⁰ and of yourselves men will arise speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. ³¹ Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not to admonish every one of you with tears.

³ concerning his Son born of the posterity of David as to the flesh,

⁷ to those who by patience in good works seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;

¹⁹ But we know that whatever the law says, it says to those having the law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world become guilty before God. ²⁰ Wherefore by the works of the law there shall no flesh be justified is his sight, for by the law there is an acknowledgment of sin.

³ And not only [this], but we rejoice also in afflictions, knowing that affliction works out patience, ⁴ and patience, experience, and experience, hope; ⁵ and the hope makes not ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit given us.

¹⁴ For sin shall not have a Lordship over you; for you are not under the law but under the grace.

²² But now having been made free from sin and made servants to God, you have your fruit in sanctification, and the end eternal life.

¹⁵ For you received not the spirit of servitude again to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry; Abba, Father.

²⁴ For we are saved by hope; but a hope that is seen is not a hope; for why does one hope for what he sees? ²⁵ but if we hope for what we see not, we wait for it with patience.

³ for I have wished that I was myself accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kindred according to the flesh,

⁵ whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh. He who is over all is God blessed forever, amen.

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.

²⁰ Well; they were broken off by unbelief, and you stand by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear;

²⁶ and so all Israel shall be saved; as it is written, A deliverer shall come from Zion, he shall turn away impiety from Jacob.

^{1 (9:1)} I EXHORT you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice; holy, well pleasing to God, your reasonable service; ² and be not conformed to this life, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, that you may prove what is the will of God which is good and well-pleasing and perfect.

¹² rejoice in the hope, be patient in affliction, be persevering in prayer,

¹⁸ if possible, as much as may be in your power, live peaceably with all men,

¹¹ And [do] this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour that we should be waked from sleep, for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. ¹² The night is far advanced, and the day is at hand; let us lay aside therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelries and drinking, not in lewdness and excesses, not in strife and envy; ¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for desires of the flesh.

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

¹⁹ Let us therefore pursue the things of peace and those which edify one another.

⁷ so that you are behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who also will confirm you to the end, without blame, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

^{10 (1:3)} I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected in the same mind and the same will.

^{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. ² And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed should be removed from among you. ³ For I indeed as absent in body, but present in spirit, have already judged as present him that has so done this, ⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus you being assembled together and my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus ⁵ to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. ⁶ Your rejoicing is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole mass?

⁶ Your rejoicing is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole mass?

^{9 (2:2)} I wrote to you in the epistle not to associate with fornicators; 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.

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. ¹⁷ But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit [with him]. ¹⁸ Avoid fornication. Every crime that a man commits is out of his body; but he that commits fornication sins in his body. 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? ²⁰ For you are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.

³¹ and those who use the world as those not abusing it; for the fashion of this world passes away.

^{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. ²⁵ And every one that contends in the games is temperate in all things, they indeed to obtain a perishable crown, we an imperishable. ²⁶ I therefore so run, not as uncertainly, and so strike, not as one who beats the air; ²⁷ but I brow-beat my body, and bring it into subjection, lest having preached to others I should myself be a reprobate.

⁸ Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them did and fell in one day twenty-three thousand.

¹² so that he who thinks he stands, let him take heed lest he fall. ¹³ For no trial has befallen you but what is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tried beyond what you are able, but with the trial will order the event, that you may be able to endure.

³² but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

^{8 (6:7)} Love never fails; but if there are prophecies, they shall pass away; if tongues, they shall cease; if knowledge, it shall pass away.

¹² For now we see by a mirror darkly, but then we shall see face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully as I also am known.

³³ Be not deceived; evil companionships corrupt good morals.

⁴⁹ and as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead be raised, indestructible, and we shall be changed.

⁵⁴ And when this destructible has put on indestructibleness, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall the word be accomplished that is written; Death was swallowed up in victory.

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.

⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation was a glory, much more will the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.

^{1 (1:12)} Therefore, having this ministry, as we have obtained mercy we faint not,

⁸ being afflicted in every thing but not distressed, being perplexed but not in despair, ⁹ being persecuted but not deserted, being cast down but not destroyed,

^{16 (1:14)} Wherefore we faint not, but if our outward man is destroyed our inward man is renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For the light affliction which is for a moment, works out for us more abundantly an eternal weight of glory,

⁸ but we are confident, and are pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

^{1 (1:17)} And being also co-laborers we exhort you not to receive the grace of God in vain,—

¹⁷ Go out therefore from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and touch not the impure; and I will receive you,

¹ Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every defilement of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you; for power is perfected in weakness. ¹⁰ Most gladly, therefore, will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Wherefore I am well pleased with infirmities, with injuries, with necessities, with persecutions, with distresses for Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

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.

^{5 (4:3)} Try yourselves, whether you are in the faith; prove yourselves; or know you not yourselves that Christ is in you unless you are reprobates?

¹³ and the other Jews also dissembled with him, so that Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.

¹⁹ For by a law I have died to the law, that I may live to God.

¹⁰ For as many as are of works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things written in the book of the law to do them.

^{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;

²⁶ But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us;

⁴ You have departed from Christ, whoever of you are justified by the law, you have fallen from the grace.

^{7 (3:2)} You ran well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?

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. 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.

^{1 (3:4)} Brothers, if a man is overtaken with any fault, do you that are spiritual restore such a one with a spirit of meekness, considering yourself; lest you also be tried.

⁹ Let us not be weary of well doing; for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.

⁶ to the praise of his glorious grace, which he bestowed upon us in the beloved,

²² and put all things in subjection under his feet, and made him head over all things to the church,

¹⁶ and reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having destroyed the enmity by it.

^{1 (2:1)} I THEREFORE, the prisoner of the Lord, exhort you to walk worthily of the call with which you were called, ² with all humility and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love, 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; ⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism; ⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. ⁷ And to each one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. ^{8 (2:2)} Wherefore he says, When he ascended on high, he took captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.

²² that you should lay aside your former mode of life the old man destroyed by deceitful desires, ²³ and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, ²⁴ and put on the new man, created after God in righteousness and true holiness.

²⁴ and put on the new man, created after God in righteousness and true holiness.

² and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God of good odor. ^{3 (2:5)} Let not fornication and any impurity or covetousness be named among you, as becomes saints,

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.

¹⁰ proving what is well pleasing to the Lord,

²⁴ But as the church is subject to Christ, so also let wives be subject to husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, purifying it with the washing of water with the word, ²⁷ that he might present the church to himself glorious, not having a spot or wrinkle or any thing of the kind, but that it should be holy and blameless.

^{1 (2:7)} Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right. ² Honor your father and your mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, ³ that it may be well with you, and you shall live long in the land. ⁴ And, fathers, provoke not your children, but bring them up in the instruction and admonition of the Lord.

⁶ having this same confidence, that he who has begun a good work in you will carry it on till the day of Jesus Christ,

²¹ Because for me to live is Christ and to die is gain. ²² But if to live in the flesh [is allowed me], I have this fruit of my work, and which I shall choose I know not. ²³ But I am in a strait between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ; for this is far better;

⁸ and being found in form like a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient even till death, and the death of the cross. ⁹ Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of beings in heaven and in the earth and under the earth, ¹¹ and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁶ holding fast the word of life, for my glorying in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, nor labor in vain.

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. ¹² Not that I have already obtained it, or have been already made perfect; but I follow on that I may attain that for which also I was arrested by Christ.

¹² Not that I have already obtained it, or have been already made perfect; but I follow on that I may attain that for which also I was arrested by Christ.

¹² Not that I have already obtained it, or have been already made perfect; but I follow on that I may attain that for which also I was arrested by Christ. ¹³ I consider not myself, brothers, to have attained it; but this one thing I do; forgetting the things behind, and reaching forward to those before,

¹³ I consider not myself, brothers, to have attained it; but this one thing I do; forgetting the things behind, and reaching forward to those before, ¹⁴ I press forward to the mark for the prize of the high call of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ I press forward to the mark for the prize of the high call of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let us, as many as are perfect therefore, be of this mind; and if any one thinks at all otherwise, God shall also reveal this to you; ¹⁶ but in what we have attained, in this let us walk. ^{17 (2:2)} Be followers of me, brothers, and observe those who walk so as you have us for an example. ¹⁸ For many walk, of whom I told you often and now also tell you weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ; ¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose God is their stomach, and their glory in their shame; who regard earthly things. ²⁰ But our kingdom is in heaven, from which also we expect the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

²⁰ But our kingdom is in heaven, from which also we expect the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, 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.

³ Yes, I beseech you also, faithful yoke-fellow, help those women who strove in the gospel with me, with Clement and the rest of my co-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

¹⁸ But I have all things and abound, I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, a perfume of good odor, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

¹² giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit for a portion in the inheritance of the saints in light,

²² by the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blame and without fault before him,

^{24 (1:4)} Now I rejoice in sufferings for you, and supply the deficiencies of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the church,

^{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; ⁸ but now do you put away also all these, anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, vile conversation out of your mouth;

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,

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, 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, 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.

⁷ For God has not called us to impurity, but to purity.

¹⁶ for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,

¹⁴ And we exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, comfort the dispirited, assist the sick, be of long suffering towards all men. ¹⁵ See that no one renders evil for evil, but always pursue the good both one to another and to all.

⁵ a token of the righteous judgment of God that you should be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer, ⁶ since it is just with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you, ⁷ and to you who are afflicted rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels ⁸ in a flame of fire, executing judgment on all that know not God and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus;

¹³ But, brothers, be not weary of well doing.

⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator of God and man, the man Christ Jesus,

⁵ but if any one knows not how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?—

⁷ but avoid profane and silly myths; exercise yourself in piety; ⁸ for bodily exercise profits little; but piety is profitable in all things, having a promise of the present life and of the life to come.

⁹ But those who wish to be rich fall into trial and a snare, and many foolish and injurious desires, which plunge men into destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evils, which some having desired have been misled from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. ^{11 (2:13)} But do you, O man of God, avoid these things; but pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, patience, meekness.

⁷ For God gave us not a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

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.

⁷ Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give you understanding in all things. ^{8 (1:6)} Remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my gospel,

¹⁶ But profane and vain words, avoid; for they greatly increase impiety, ¹⁷ and their word will eat like a gangrene; of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

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

⁴ and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and be turned to myths.

⁶ For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come. ⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith;

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith; ⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge will give me in that day, and not me only but all who love his appearing.

¹³ looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ, 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.

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 who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his substance, and sustaining all things by the word of his power, having made a purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high,

¹³ And to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand till I make thy enemies thy footstool?

^{1 (1:2)} We ought therefore to attend the more to the things which we heard, lest at any time we should glide away [from them].

^{1 (1:2)} We ought therefore to attend the more to the things which we heard, lest at any time we should glide away [from them]. ² For if the word spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense,

² For if the word spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense, ³ how shall we escape who have neglected so great a salvation? which began to be spoken by the Lord, and was affirmed to us by those who heard,

⁷ Thou didst make him a little lower than angels, thou didst crown him with glory and honor, ⁸ thou didst subject all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, he left nothing not subjected to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him. ⁹ But we see Jesus, made a little less than angels, on account of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste death for every [man]. ¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, to perfect by sufferings the prince of their salvation, bringing many sons to glory.

^{1 (1:4)} Whence, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly call, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Jesus,

⁶ but Christ as a son over his house, whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and rejoicing of the hope.

¹² See, brothers, that there be not at any time in any one of you an evil mind of unbelief in departing from the living God;

¹⁷ And with whom was he displeased forty years? Was it not with those that sinned? whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

^{1 (1:6)} Let us fear, therefore, lest at any time a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to come short.

^{11 (1:8)} Let us use diligence, therefore to enter into that rest [the heavenly rest], that no one may fall, after the same example of disobedience.

¹⁶ Let us therefore approach with boldness the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace for timely aid.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh having offered both prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, with loud cries and tears, [and being heard and delivered] from fear,—

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

¹⁴ but solid food is for the perfect, having their perceptive faculties exercised by practice to distinguish both good and evil.

⁴ For those once enlightened and having tasted of the heavenly gift and been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and having tasted of the good word of God and the powers of the life to come, ⁶ and having fallen away, it is impossible again to renew to a change of mind, they having crucified again and exposed to shame the Son of God.

⁸ but that which produces thorns and thistles is disapproved, and is nigh to a curse, the end of which is to be burned.

¹⁰ For God is not unjust, to forget your work, and the love which you showed for his name, having served the saints and [still] serving them. ¹¹ But we desire each of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end,

¹¹ But we desire each of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end, ¹² that you be not stupid, but followers of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

¹⁵ and so having waited long he obtained the promise.

¹⁹ for the law made nothing perfect, but was the introduction of a better hope through which we draw nigh to God.

²² by so much is Jesus the pledge of a better covenant.

^{1 (3:1)} BUT the chief thing in addition to what has been said is, that we have such a chief priest who sat on the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens,

⁵ who serve for a symbol and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when about to make the tabernacle; for see, he says, that you make all things after the pattern shown you in the Mount; ⁶ but now he has obtained a more excellent service, by as much also as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which is established on better promises.

⁸ For finding fault with them he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I will make with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, a new covenant,

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. ^{15 (3:6)} And for this cause he is the mediator of the new covenant, that death having been for a redemption of transgressions [transgressors] under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

²¹ And he sprinkled also the tabernacle, and all the implements of the service, in like manner, with blood.

²⁷ And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this is the judgment, ²⁸ so also Christ having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time without sin, to those who look for him for salvation.

⁵ Wherefore, coming into the world, he says, A sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, but a body didst thou prepare me. ⁶ Whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wast not pleased with; ⁷ then I said, Behold, I come,—in the volume of the book it is written of me,—to do thy will, O God. ⁸ Saying before, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou didst not desire and wast not pleased with, which are offered according to the law, ⁹ then he said, Behold, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, ¹⁰ by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all. ^{11 (3:9)} And every priest stood daily performing service and presenting often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; ¹² but this [priest] having offered one sacrifice forever for sins, sat down on the right hand of God,

¹⁴ For by one offering he has perfected forever the sanctified.

^{19 (4:1)} HAVING therefore, brothers, confidence in respect to the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

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,

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;

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,

^{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, ²⁷ but a fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation, which is about to consume the adversaries.

²⁷ but a fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation, which is about to consume the adversaries.

²⁷ but a fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation, which is about to consume the adversaries. ²⁸ Any one who despised the law of Moses died without mercy by two or three witnesses;

²⁸ Any one who despised the law of Moses died without mercy by two or three witnesses; ²⁹ of how much greater punishment do you suppose he will be thought worthy, who has trodden down the Son of God, and accounted defiled the blood of the covenant with which he was purified, and treated injuriously the Spirit of grace.

²⁹ of how much greater punishment do you suppose he will be thought worthy, who has trodden down the Son of God, and accounted defiled the blood of the covenant with which he was purified, and treated injuriously the Spirit of grace. ³⁰ For we know him that said, Judgment belongs to me, I will repay. And again, The Lord will judge his people. ³¹ It is fearful to fall into the hands of the living God.

³¹ It is fearful to fall into the hands of the living God. ^{32 (4:3)} But remember the former days, in which having been enlightened you endured a great conflict with sufferings,

^{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.

³³ partly in being made a spectacle by reproaches and afflictions, and partly being companions of those so treated.

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.

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.

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.

² For by it the ancients obtained a good repute. ³ We know by faith that the worlds were made by the word of God, that the seen was not made from the apparent. ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a greater sacrifice than Cain, through which he was declared to be righteous, God testifying to his gifts, and through the same, having died, he speaks still.

⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a greater sacrifice than Cain, through which he was declared to be righteous, God testifying to his gifts, and through the same, having died, he speaks still. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated without seeing death, and was not found because God translated him. For before the translation he was said to have pleased God; ⁶ but without faith it is impossible to please; for he that comes to God, must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those that seek him. ^{7 (4:5)} By faith Noah having been divinely instructed concerning things not yet seen, fearing built the ark for the salvation of his house, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness by faith.

^{7 (4:5)} By faith Noah having been divinely instructed concerning things not yet seen, fearing built the ark for the salvation of his house, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness by faith. ^{8 (4:6)} By faith Abraham being called obeyed and went out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith he resided temporarily in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he looked for the city which has foundations [fixed abodes] whose designer and builder is God.

¹⁰ for he looked for the city which has foundations [fixed abodes] whose designer and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself received power to become a mother, even beyond the usual age, because she regarded him faithful that promised. ¹² Wherefore also there were born of one, and those of one dead, [a posterity] like the stars of heaven for multitude, and like the sands on the sea-shore innumerable. ^{13 (4:7)} All these died in faith not having received the promises, but having seen and saluted them from a distance, and having professed that they were foreigners and strangers on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things show that they seek a native country. ¹⁵ And if they had remembered that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return; ¹⁶ but now they seek a better, that is a heavenly [country]. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city. ^{17 (4:8)} By faith Abraham when tried offered Isaac, and he that received the promises offered his only son, ¹⁸ of whom it was said, In Isaac shall your posterity be called, ¹⁹ judging that God was able to raise even from the dead; whence also in a figure he received him. ²⁰ By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in respect to things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshipped leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph at the close of life made mention of the exodus of the children of Israel and gave charge concerning his bones. ^{23 (4:9)} By faith Moses when he was born was hid three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they feared not the command of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses when he became a man refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to have an enjoyment of sin for a time, ²⁶ judging the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he had respect to the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not having feared the displeasure of the king; for he endured as seeing him that is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he observed the passover and the pouring out of blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them.

²⁸ By faith he observed the passover and the pouring out of blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians attempting were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down when they had been surrounded seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot escaped destruction with the disobedient, having received the spies in peace. ^{32 (4:10)} And why should I say more? For time would fail me to relate of Gideon and Barak, and Sampson and Jepthah, and David and Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who by faith subdued kingdoms, performed righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ extinguished the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight encampments of foreigners; ³⁵ women received their dead from a resurrection, others were tortured having not accepted redemption, that they might obtain a better resurrection; ³⁶ and others had trial of mockings and scourges, and besides of bonds and imprisonment;

³⁶ and others had trial of mockings and scourges, and besides of bonds and imprisonment; ³⁷ they were stoned, they were cut to pieces with saws, they were tried, they died with the death of the sword, they wandered about in sheep-skins and goat-skins, destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated, ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts and mountains, and in caves and openings of the earth.

⁴⁰ God having provided something better for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

² looking to the chief guide and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy set before him despised the shame and endured the cross, and sat down on the right hand of God. ³ For consider him that has endured such a contradiction from sinners, that you may not become faint and weary in your minds.

³ For consider him that has endured such a contradiction from sinners, that you may not become faint and weary in your minds. ^{4 (5:1)} You have not yet resisted to blood contending against sin. ⁵ And you have forgotten the exhortation which says to you as to sons, My son, despise not the correction of the Lord and faint not when rebuked by him,

⁵ And you have forgotten the exhortation which says to you as to sons, My son, despise not the correction of the Lord and faint not when rebuked by him, ⁶ for the Lord corrects those whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.

⁶ for the Lord corrects those whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives. ⁷ If you endure correction, God deals with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not correct?

⁷ If you endure correction, God deals with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not correct? ⁸ But if you are without correction of which all are partakers, then you are of foreign birth, and not sons.

¹⁰ For they for a few days corrected us as seemed good to them, but he for the best, that we may partake of his holiness.

²⁷ And this, Hereafter once for all, signifies the removal of the things shaken as of things made, that those not shaken may continue.

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

¹³ Let us therefore go out to him without the encampment, bearing his reproach; ¹⁴ for we have not here a city that continues, but we seek that which is to come. ¹⁵ Through him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of lips confessing his name.

^{20 (5:9)} And may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of the eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,

³ knowing that the trial of your faith produces patience.

^{12 (1:2)} Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when proved he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

¹⁸ Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruit of his creatures.

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.

⁷ Be subject therefore to God; resist the devil and he will flee from you;

¹⁰ Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

^{7 (2:7)} Wait patiently therefore, brothers, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and is of long patience, till he receives the autumnal and vernal rain. ⁸ Do you also have long patience, confirm your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. ⁹ Complain not, brothers, against one another, that you be not judged; behold, the judge stands before the doors. ¹⁰ You have the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord, my brothers, as an example of patience and long-suffering. ¹¹ Behold, we account them blessed who are patient. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you know the purpose of the Lord, that he is very merciful and compassionate.

¹¹ Behold, we account them blessed who are patient. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you know the purpose of the Lord, that he is very merciful and compassionate.

¹⁶ Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be cured, for the prayer of the righteous operates with great power.

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.

⁴ to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in heaven for you ⁵ who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. ⁶ In which you rejoice, though now for a little while if need be made sad by manifold trials,

¹¹ inquiring as to what person or what time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when it declared before the sufferings of Christ and after these the glories,

¹⁵ but as he that called you is holy be you also holy in all [your] conduct, ¹⁶ because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy. ¹⁷ And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each one's work, spend the time of your life with fear,

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

^{1 (1:5)} Laying aside therefore all malice and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all evil speakings,

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;

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.

²³ who being reviled reviled not, suffering threatened not, but committed himself to him that judges righteously,

²³ who being reviled reviled not, suffering threatened not, but committed himself to him that judges righteously, ²⁴ who himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, that we having died to sins, may live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

¹¹ let him abstain from evil and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it,

^{13 (2:6)} And who is he that will injure you if you are followers of what is good?

¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might lead us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,

²² who is on the right hand of God, having gone to heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

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.

¹⁴ If you are reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 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; ¹⁶ but as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, let him glorify God on this account.

⁶ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;

⁹ whom resist, firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished by your brothers in the world. ¹⁰ And may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when you have suffered a little while, himself make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, establish you.

^{12 (3:5)} I have written to you in a few words by Silvanus [Silas], a faithful brother as I suppose, exhorting you, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

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,

⁶ and to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience, and to patience piety,

¹⁰ Wherefore, brothers, use the greater diligence to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things you shall never fall.

^{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; ² and many shall follow their lewdness, on account of whom the way of truth shall be reviled,

¹⁴ having eyes full of an adulteress, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousness, cursed children,

¹⁸ For speaking extravagant words of vanity, they entice with carnal desires of lewdness those scarcely escaped from them, those living in error,

^{10 (2:3)} But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with a crash, and the elements be melted with heat, and the earth and the works in it be consumed. ¹¹ All these things therefore being dissolved, what persons ought we to be in holy conduct and piety,

¹¹ All these things therefore being dissolved, what persons ought we to be in holy conduct and piety,

^{14 (2:4)} Wherefore, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent that you may be found in him without a spot and blemish, in peace,

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.

^{1 (1:1)} THAT which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld and our hands felt, concerning the Word of life,— ² and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us,— ³ that which we have seen and heard, we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 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.

^{2 (1:10)} Beloved, now are we children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be. We know, that if he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. ³ And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, as he is pure.

⁸ Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not the labor which you performed, but receive a full reward.

^{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.

^{14 (1:5)} And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of them, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousand of his saints

²⁰ But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith, pray with the Holy Spirit. ²¹ Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

²¹ Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. ²² And reprove some, separatists, ²³ and some save, plucking them from the fire, but have mercy on others with fear, hating even the garment that is defiled by the flesh.

⁶ and made us a kingdom, priests to God even his Father, to him be the glory and the power forever; amen.

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God; the Is, and the Was, and the Is to come, the Almighty. ^{9 (1:4)} I, John, your brother and companion in the affliction and kingdom and patience in Christ Jesus, was in the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

¹¹ saying, What you see write in a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamus and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

^{17 (1:6)} And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he put his right hand on me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last

³ and you have patience, and suffered for my name, and did not faint.

^{8 (2:2)} And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, These things says the first and the last, who was dead and lived,

¹³ I know your works and where you live; where Satan's throne is; and you hold my name, and did not deny my faith in the days in which Antipas my faithful martyr was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

²⁰ But I have against you that you allow your wife Jezebel, who says she is a prophetess and teaches and deceives my servants to commit fornication and eat things offered to idols. ²¹ And I gave her time to change her mind, and she will not change her mind from her fornication. ²² Behold, I will cast her on a [sick] bed, and those committing adultery with her into great affliction, unless they change their minds from her works. ²³ And her children will I kill with pestilence, and all the churches shall know that I am he that searches the minds and hearts, and I will give you each one according to your works.

¹⁰ Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which is to come on all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth.

¹² Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out of it no more, and I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous therefore and change your minds.

¹⁰ and hast made them a kingdom and priests, and they shall reign on the earth. ¹¹ And I saw, and heard a voice of many angels about the throne, and of the cherubs, and of the elders,—and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands,— ¹² saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was killed to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

^{9 (4:5)} And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those killed for the word of God and for the testimony which they had. ¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, Master, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those that dwell on the earth? ¹¹ And a white robe was given them, and it was told them to rest yet a little while, till their fellow servants and their brothers and those about to be killed as they also had been should finish [their testimony].

² And I saw another angel ascend from the east, having the seal of the living God, and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to injure the earth and the sea,

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. ¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sits on the throne will dwell among them. ¹⁶ And they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun strike them nor any heat, ¹⁷ for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them and lead them to fountains of the waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

^{15 (7:1)} AND the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, the kingdom of the world has become our Lord's and his Christ's, and he shall reign forever and ever.

¹¹ And they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and exposed their lives to death.

⁸ And all who dwell on the earth shall worship him, [every one] whose name is not enrolled in the Lamb's book of life who was killed from the foundation of the world.

¹⁰ If any one [leads] into captivity, he shall go into captivity; if any one kills with the sword, he shall be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints.

^{1 (8:1)} AND I saw, and behold, the Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his father written on their foreheads.

⁴ These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins; these are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from men a first fruit to God and the Lamb,

⁴ who shall not fear thee, Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy, for all the nations shall come and worship before thee, for thy righteous ordinances have been made manifest.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus, and I wondered when I saw her with great wonder.

²⁴ and in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all that have been killed on the earth.

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See [that you do it] not; I am your fellow-servant and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

¹⁵ And whoever was not found enrolled in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

^{1 (12:2)} And I saw a new heaven and new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea was no more. ² And I saw the holy city New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

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.

¹⁰ And he bore me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

²⁴ And the nations shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it, ²⁵ and its gates shall not be shut by day,—for there shall be no night there,— ²⁶ and they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. ²⁷ And there shall not enter into it any thing that is defiled, nor any one that commits an abomination and falsehood, but those enrolled in the Lamb's book of life.

³ And no curse shall be there any more. And the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him, ⁴ and shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads.

⁹ And he said to me, See [that you do it] not; for I am your fellow servant and of your brothers the prophets and of those that keep the words of this book; worship God.

¹¹ Let the unjust be unjust still, and let the filthy be filthy still, and let the righteous do righteousness still, and let the holy be made holy still. ^{12 (12:10)} Behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every one as his work is. ¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, first and last, the beginning and end. ¹⁴ Blessed are they that keep his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and enter by the gates into the city. ¹⁵ Without are dogs and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers and idolaters and whoever loves and practises falsehood.

¹⁵ Without are dogs and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers and idolaters and whoever loves and practises falsehood. ^{16 (12:11)} I Jesus sent my angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright star of the morning.

¹⁹ and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and the holy city, described in this book.
