²⁶ I say, of his righteousness in this present time, that he might be just, and yet the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus. ²⁷ Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law?

¹² Therefore let not sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in the desires thereof.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were the servants of sin, ye have now obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine into which ye have been delivered. ¹⁸ Being then set free from sin, ye are become the servants of righteousness. ¹⁹ I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. As ye have presented your members servants to uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity, so now present your members servants of righteousness, unto holiness.

¹⁶ Know ye not, that ye are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

¹⁸ Let none deceive himself: if any one among you thinketh himself to be wise, let him become a fool in this world, that he may become wise.

¹⁴ I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.

¹ It is commonly reported, that there is fornication among you, and such fornication, as is not even named among the heathens, that one should have his father's wife.

¹⁰ But not altogether with the lewd persons of this world, or the covetous, or the rapacious, or idolaters, for then ye must go out of the world. ¹¹ But I have now written unto you, if any who is named a brother, be a lewd person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, not to converse with such an one, no, not to eat with him. ¹² For what have I to do, to judge them also that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within?

¹ Dare any of you, having a matter against another, refer it to the unjust, and not to the saints? ² Know ye not, that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³ Know ye not, that we shall judge angels? ⁴ How much more things pertaining to this life? If then ye have any controversies of things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no esteem in the church?

⁹ Know ye not, that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, ¹⁰ nor sodomites, Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor revilers, nor the rapacious shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹³ Meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats; yet God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

¹⁵ Know ye not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot?

¹⁵ Know ye not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? ¹⁶ God forbid. Know ye not, that he who is joined to an harlot is one body? For they two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

¹⁹ Know ye not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God?

²³ Ye are bought with a price; do not become the servants of men.

⁴ we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

⁷ But there is not in all men this knowledge; for some do even until now, with consciousness of the idol, eat it as sacrificed to the idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. ⁸ But meat commendeth us not to God; for neither if we eat, are we the better, nor if we eat not, are we the worse. ⁹ But take heed, lest by any means this your liberty become a stumbling-block to the weak. ¹⁰ For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at meat in an idol-temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be encouraged to eat of the things sacrificed to the idol? ¹¹ And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died. ¹² But when ye sin thus against your brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. ¹³ Wherefore if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

¹² If others partake of this power over you, do not we rather? Yet we have not used this power: but we suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

²⁴ Know ye not, that they who run in the race, all run, but one receiveth the prize? so run that ye may obtain.

²⁷ But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection, lest by any means, after having preached to others, I myself should become a reprobate.

³ in the cloud and in the sea, And all ate the same spiritual meat, ⁴ And all drank the same spiritual drink (for they drank out of the spiritual rock which followed them; and that rock was Christ) Yet, with the most of them, God was not well-pleased; ⁵ for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

²³ All things are lawful for me; but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me; but all things edify not. ²⁴ Let no one seek his own, but every one another's welfare. ²⁵ Whatever is sold in the shambles eat, asking no questions for conscience sake. ²⁶ For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. ²⁷ And if any of the unbelievers invite you, and ye are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for conscience sake. ²⁸ But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for his sake that shewed thee, and for conscience sake. ²⁹ Conscience I say, not thy own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another's conscience? ³⁰ For if I by grace am a partaker, why am I blamed for that for which I give thanks? ³¹ Therefore whether ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

³¹ Therefore whether ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. ³² Give no offence either to the Jews, or to the Gentiles, or to the church of God: ³³ Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many that they may be saved.

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

¹⁴ Doth not nature itself teach you, that for a man to have long hair, is a disgrace to him?

² Ye know that when ye were heathens, ye were carried away after dumb idols, as ye were led.

¹³ For we are all baptized by one Spirit into one body, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or freemen; and we have all drank of one Spirit.

²⁷ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in part.

³³ For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

¹⁵ Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified from God, that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise, if the dead rise not. ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, neither is Christ raised: ¹⁷ And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Then also they who sleep in Christ are perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all men. ²⁰ But now is Christ risen from the dead, the first-fruit of them that slept.

²³ But every one in his own order: Christ the first-fruit, afterward they who are Christ's, at his coming.

³³ Be not deceived. Evil communications corrupt good manners. ³⁴ Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

⁵⁰ But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

¹ Concerning the collection for the saints, as I have ordered the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

¹⁵ And I beseech you, brethren, as ye know the houshold of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to serve the saints,

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

¹⁸ While we aim not at the things that are seen, but the things that are not seen: for the things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are not seen are eternal.

¹⁵ And that he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and rose again.

¹⁴ Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? or what communion hath light with darkness?

¹⁶ And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? Now ye are the temple of the living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

² For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy; for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

²¹ and I should mourn over many of them who had sinned before, and have not repented of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, which they have committed.

¹⁶ and not sinners of the Gentiles, Even we (knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ) have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law; because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. ¹⁷ But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sin?

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ, and I live no longer, but Christ liveth in me, and the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

⁸ And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, declared before the glad tidings to Abraham, In thee shall all the nations be blessed.

¹¹ But that none is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident; for the just shall live by faith.

¹³ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

²¹ Is then the law against the promises of God? God forbid. But if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness would have been by the law.

²⁴ Wherefore the law was our school-master unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adultery, fornication, ²⁰ uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, contentions, ²¹ emulations, wraths, strifes, divisions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before (as I have also told you in time past) that they who practise such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²¹ emulations, wraths, strifes, divisions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before (as I have also told you in time past) that they who practise such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, fidelity, ²³ Meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.

¹⁴ But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world is crucified to me, and I unto the world.

¹⁹ And what the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the energy of his mighty power, ²⁰ Which he wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead; and he hath made him sit at his own right-hand in heavenly places,

²² And he hath put all things under his feet, and hath given him to be head over all things to the church, ²³ Which is his body; who is the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

¹ And he hath quickened you, ² who were dead in trespasses and sins, Wherein ye formerly walked, according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in time past, ³ in the desires of the flesh, doing the will of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the others.

²¹ groweth into an holy temple in the Lord: ²² On whom ye also are built together, for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

³ forbearing one another in love, Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit, by the bond of peace. ⁴ There is one body and one Spirit, as ye are also called in one hope of your calling;

¹² For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, to the edifying the body of Christ;

¹⁵ But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ: ¹⁶ From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted, by that which every joint supplieth according to the effectual working in the measure of every member, maketh increase of the body, to the edifying of itself in love. ¹⁷ This therefore I say and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles, in the vanity of your mind: ¹⁸ Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, by the ignorance that is in them, through the hardness of their hearts: ¹⁹ Who being past feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. ²⁰ But ye have not so learned Christ; Since ye have heard him, ²¹ and been taught by him, (as the truth is in Jesus) To put off, ²² concerning your former conversation, the old man, which is corrupt, according to the deceitful desires:

²⁸ Let him that stole, steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

³ But let not fornication, or any uncleanness, or covetousness be even named among you, as becometh saints: ⁴ Neither obscenity, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient, but rather thanksgiving. ⁵ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or unclean person, or covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

⁸ For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord:

²³ For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ also is head of the church:

²⁶ That he might sanctify it (having cleansed it by the washing of water) through the word:

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

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

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

²⁵ But he that doth wrong, shall receive for the wrong he hath done; and there is no respect of persons.

¹³ That he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness (before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ) with all his saints.

³ For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;

³ For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication; ⁴ That every one of you know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; ⁵ Not in passionate desire, as the Gentiles who know not God.

⁵ Not in passionate desire, as the Gentiles who know not God. ⁶ That none circumvent or defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these things, as we have also told you before and testified.

⁶ That none circumvent or defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these things, as we have also told you before and testified. ⁷ For God hath not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness.

¹⁴ For if we believe, that Jesus died and rose again, so will God bring with him those also that sleep in Christ.

¹⁵ See that none render to any man evil for evil, but ever follow that which is good, both to one another and to all men.

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation, thro' sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

⁹ Not because we have not power; but that we might make ourselves an example to you, that ye might imitate us.

⁹ Knowing this, that the law doth not lie against a righteous man; but against the lawless and disobedient, against the ungodly and sinners, the unholy and prophane, against killers of their fathers or their mothers, against murderers, ¹⁰ Against whoremongers, sodomites, man-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to wholesome doctrine,

⁴ No man that warreth intangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath inlisted him.

²² Flee also youthful desires; but follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace with them that call upon the Lord, out of a pure heart.

¹⁰ For Demas hath forsaken me, loving the present world, and is gone to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

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

³ For we also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, inslaved to various desires and pleasures, living in wickedness and envy, hateful, hating one another: ⁴ But when the kindness and philanthropy of God our Saviour appeared, ⁵ Not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. ⁶ Which he poured forth richly upon us, ⁷ through Jesus Christ our Saviour, That, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs, according to the hope of eternal life.

¹¹ For both he that sanctifieth, and all they that are sanctified, are of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren;

²² Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with them that believed not, having received the spies with peace.

¹⁴ Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: ¹⁵ Looking diligently, lest any one fall from the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled: Lest there be any fornicator or profane person, ¹⁶ as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright:

¹⁶ as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright:

⁴ Marriage is honourable in all men, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

⁵ If any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him.

¹⁶ Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,

²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Thou seest that faith wrought together with his works, and by works was faith made perfect. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God. ²⁴ Ye see then, that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. ²⁵ In like manner Rahab the harlot also was justified by works, having received the messengers and sent them out another way? ²⁶ Therefore as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

¹³ Who is a wise and knowing man among you? Let him shew by a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter zeal and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, animal, devilish. ¹⁶ For where bitter zeal and strife is, there is unquietness and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, ¹⁸ without partiality and without dissimulation, And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.

¹ From whence come wars and fightings among you? Is it not hence, from your pleasures that war in your members? ² Ye desire and have not, ye kill, and envy, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; yet ye have not, because ye ask not. ³ Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may expend it on your pleasures.

⁴ Behold the hire of your labourers who have reaped your fields, which is kept back by you, crieth: and the cries of them who have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabbaoth.

² Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Elect (according to the fore-knowledge of God the Father) thro' sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace and peace be multiplied to you.

¹⁸ Seeing ye know ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation delivered by tradition from your fathers,

²² Having purified your souls by obeying the truth thro' the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another with a pure heart fervently:

⁵ but chosen of God and precious, Ye also as living stones are built up, a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God thro' Jesus Christ.

⁹ But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a purchased people, that ye may shew forth the virtues of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Who in time past were not a people, but now are the people of God;

¹¹ Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly desires,

¹⁹ For this is thank worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. ²⁰ For what glory is it, if when ye commit faults and are buffeted, ye take it patiently? But if when ye do well and suffer, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. ²¹ For even hereunto are ye called; for Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye might follow his steps: ²² Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ²³ Who when he was reviled, reviled not again, when he suffered he threatened not, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

⁹ Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing, but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are called to this, to inherit a blessing.

²¹ The antitype whereof, baptism, now saveth us, (not the putting away the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

² (for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin) That ye may no longer live the rest of your time in the flesh, to the desire of men, but to the will of God. ³ For the time past of your life sufficeth to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when ye walked in lasciviousness, evil desires, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries.

¹⁵ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other mens matters,

¹ But there were false prophets also among the people, as there shall likewise be false teachers among you, who will privily bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

⁴ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, delivered them to chains of darkness,

⁹ He that saith, he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now. ¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. ¹¹ But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because darkness hath blinded his eyes.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eye, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world passeth away, and the desire thereof; but he that doth the will of God abideth for ever.

¹¹ For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we love one another. ¹² Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and slew his brother. ¹³ And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. ¹⁴ We know, that we are passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not his brother abideth in death. ¹⁵ Whosoever hateth his brother is a murtherer, and ye know that no murtherer hath eternal life abiding in him.

⁶ And the angels, who kept not their first dignity, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the great day.

¹² These are spots in your feasts of love, while they banquet with you feeding themselves without fear: clouds without water, driven about of winds; trees without leaves, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

¹⁴ And of these also, Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his holy ones, ¹⁵ To execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of them of all their ungodly deeds, which they have impiously committed, and of all the grievous things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

⁵ And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first begotten from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth:

²⁶ And he that overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations. ²⁷ (And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken in pieces) as I also have received from my Father.

²¹ He that overcometh, I will give him to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book and to open the seals thereof; for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹⁴ And he said to me, These are they who come out of great affliction, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them; and I saw the souls of them who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the wild beast nor his image, neither had received the mark on their forehead or on their hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

¹⁵ Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.
