First, Moses says, I will provoke you by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish nation will I excite you to anger. ²⁰ But Isaiah is more bold and says, I was found by them that sought me not, I was made manifest to them that inquired not after me. ²¹ But in respect to Israel he says, All the day I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contradicting people.

^{1 (8:1)} I SAY then, has God cast away his people? By no means; for I also am an Israelite, of the race of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

¹⁵ For if their falling away is the reconciling of the world, what will their recovery be but life from the dead?

³⁵ or who first gave to him, and it shall be repaid him?

¹⁵ Rejoice with the rejoicing, weep with the weeping.

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.

¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for desires of the flesh.

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. 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. 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.

^{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.

⁹ Know you not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but you are washed, you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹² But when you thus sin against the brothers, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

²⁶ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; and if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with it.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, and am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God;

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constrains us, judging this, that if one died for all then were all dead; ¹⁵ and he died for all, that those who live should no more live for themselves but for him that died for them and rose again.

²⁰ We are embassadors therefore for Christ, as though God besought you by us; we pray you, for Christ, be reconciled to God.

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

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;

²⁷ for as many of you as are baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.

⁵ that he might redeem those under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. ⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

¹³ in whom also you, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also you having believed were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, ¹⁴ which is a pledge of our inheritance for the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.

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

^{1 (1:4)} And you being dead in trespasses and sins,—

^{1 (1:4)} And you being dead in trespasses and sins,— ² in which you formerly walked according to the life of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit which now operates in the children of disobedience,

² in which you formerly walked according to the life of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit which now operates in the children of disobedience, ³ among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, performing the wishes of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath even as others;

⁵ even when we were dead in sins he made us alive with Christ,—by grace are you saved,

⁶ and raised us up and seated us together with Christ Jesus in the heavenly worlds, ⁷ that he might show in the ages to come the transcendent riches of his grace in goodness to us by Jesus Christ. ⁸ For by grace are you saved through the faith; and that not of you; [it is] the gift of God; ⁹ not of works, that no one may boast; ¹⁰ for we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, in which God before appointed that we should walk.

¹⁰ for we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, in which God before appointed that we should walk.

¹³ but now, in Christ Jesus you who were formerly far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁷ And he came and preached the good news of peace to you who were far off, and peace to those nigh,

⁷ of which I was made a minister by the gracious gift of God, given to me by the operation of his power.

^{17 (2:3)} This I say then and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the other gentiles walk, in the vanity of their minds, ¹⁸ with their understandings darkened, alienated from the life of God on account of the ignorance which is in them, on account of the hardness of their hearts, ¹⁹ who being without feeling have given themselves up to lewdness, to commit every impurity with greediness.

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.

¹¹ and be not partakers of the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. ¹² For the things which are done by them in secret it is base even to mention;

¹⁴ Wherefore he says, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

¹⁵ and bound your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

⁴ always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

¹⁷ But if I am even poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and congratulate you all;

⁴ although I have ground of confidence in the flesh. If any other one thinks he may trust in the flesh, I [may] more; ⁵ circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews, as to the law a Pharisee, ⁶ as to zeal persecuting the church, as to righteousness by the law being blameless.

⁶ as to zeal persecuting the church, as to righteousness by the law being blameless. ⁷ But whatever things were my gain, these I have considered a loss for the sake of Christ.

¹ So, my beloved and much desired brothers, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, beloved.

¹³ and you being dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has made you alive with him, having forgiven us all sins,

^{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;

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.

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the gentiles that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always; and the wrath has come on them to the utmost.

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

⁷ therefore we were comforted, brothers, on your account in all our affliction and distress by your faith, ⁸ for now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you for all the joy with which we rejoice on your account before our God,

¹³ who formerly was a blasphemer and persecutor and an injurious man; but I obtained mercy because I did those things ignorantly in unbelief; ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord greatly abounded with the faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ The word is true and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief;

¹⁵ The word is true and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief; ¹⁶ but on this account I obtained mercy, that Jesus Christ might exhibit in me first all long-suffering, for an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life eternal.

⁶ but a woman that lives voluptuously is dead while she lives.

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.

²⁶ and that they may recover themselves from the snare of the devil, who are made captives by him to his will.

⁶ which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ that having been justified by his grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

¹⁵ for perhaps he has been separated from you for a time that you may have him back forever, ¹⁶ no longer as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

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

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.

^{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. 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.

⁸ draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, purify your hearts, double-minded. ⁹ Lament, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into sorrow. ¹⁰ Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

⁵ who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹⁰ who formerly were not a people, but now are a people of God, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

²⁵ For you were like lost sheep, but are now returned to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.

³ For the time past is sufficient for us to have performed the will of the gentiles, walking in lewdness, inordinate desires, drunkenness, revellings, drinkings and unlawful idolatries, ⁴ in which they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excessive intemperance, blaspheming,

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

¹³ receiving the wages of wickedness, accounting luxury in the day-time a pleasure, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceptions while feasting with you,

⁸ If we say we have not sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all wickedness. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

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

¹⁷ Let him that has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him that conquers will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white token, and on the token a new name engraved, which no one knows but he that receives it.

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.

^{1 (2:5)} And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, These things says he that has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars, I know your works, that you have a name to live, and are dead.

⁴ But you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. ⁵ He that conquers shall be clothed in white robes, and I will not obliterate his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

¹⁷ For you say, I am rich and have become rich and have need of nothing, and know not that you are miserable, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked. 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.

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. ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those which are on the sea, and all things in them, all heard I saying, To him that sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and power forever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four cherubs said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped:

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].

^{9 (4:9)} After this I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and having palm branches in their hands;

^{13 (4:10)} And one of the elders answered and said to me, Who are those clothed with white robes, and whence did they come? 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.

⁸ and it was given her to be arrayed in fine linen white and clean;—for fine linen represents the righteous ordinances of the saints.
