¹⁶ For men verily swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all contradiction. ¹⁷ Wherefore God being willing to shew more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his counsel, interposed by an oath:

¹⁷ Wherefore God being willing to shew more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his counsel, interposed by an oath: ¹⁸ That by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled to lay hold on the hope set before us:

¹⁸ That by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled to lay hold on the hope set before us:

²⁶ For such an high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens: ²⁷ Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, then for those of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. ²⁸ For the law maketh men high priests that have infirmity; but the word of the oath which was since the law, maketh the son, who is consecrated for evermore.

⁶ Now these things being thus prepared, the priests go always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing their services.

¹⁴ How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?

²⁴ For Christ did not enter into the holy place made with hands, the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

²¹ Happy are ye that hunger now; for ye shall be satisfied: happy are ye that weep now; for ye shall laugh.

²⁴ But wo to you that are rich; for ye have your consolation.

³⁵ But love ye your enemies, and do good and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the unthankful and the evil.

⁷ Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee; but speak in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

¹⁶ And fear seized all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is risen up among us; and, God hath visited his people.

²⁷ This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. ²⁸ For I say to you, among those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.

²⁸ For I say to you, among those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.

³³ For John the Baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

⁴⁷ Wherefore I say to thee, Those many sins of her's are forgiven; therefore she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth little. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at table with him said within themselves, ⁴⁹ Who is this that forgiveth sins also? ⁵⁰ And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee: go in peace.

⁴⁴ he said to his disciples, Let these sayings sink down into your ears; for the Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

²⁷ As he spake these things, a certain woman lifting up her voice out of the multitude said to him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked!

²⁷ As he spake these things, a certain woman lifting up her voice out of the multitude said to him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked! ²⁸ But he said, Yea, rather blessed are they, that hear the word of God and keep it.

¹⁶ And he spake a parable to them, ¹⁷ saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. And he reasoned in himself, saying, What shall I do? ¹⁸ For I have no room where to stow my fruits. And he said, This I will do: I will pull down my barns and build greater; and there will I stow all my fruits and my goods. ¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years: take thine ease; eat, drink, and be merry. ²⁰ But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: and whose shall the things be that thou hast provided? ²¹ So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

³² Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men: but God knoweth your hearts: And that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination before God.

¹⁹ There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted splendidly every day. ²⁰ And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores; ²¹ and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: yea, the dogs also came and licked his sores. ²² And the beggar died and was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died and was buried: ²³ And in hell lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember, that thou in thy life-time receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed thus, God I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. ¹² I fast twice in the week: I give tythes of all that I possess. ¹³ And the publican standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. ¹⁴ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹⁴ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

²⁴ And Jesus seeing that he was very sorrowful, said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God? ²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁷ And he said, The things impossible with men, are possible with God.

³⁸ Saying, Blessed be the king that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

⁴⁴ And shall dash thee against the ground, and thy children, that are in thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

⁴² And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, ⁴³ Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. ⁴⁴ David therefore calleth him Lord: How is he then his son?

²⁶ Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? ²⁷ And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them the things in all the scriptures, concerning himself.

³⁶ And as they spake thus, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, Peace be unto you. ³⁷ But being terrified and affrighted, they thought they saw a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why do reasonings arise in your hearts? ³⁹ Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me have. ⁴⁰ And having spoken this, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are the words which I spake to you, being yet with you, that all things written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms concerning me, must be fulfilled.

⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these things. And behold I send the promise of my Father upon you:

⁷ to testify of the light, that all thro' it might believe. ⁸ He was not the light, but was sent to testify of the light. ⁹ This was the true light, who lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

⁹ This was the true light, who lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

¹³ Who were born, not of blood, nor by the will of the flesh, nor by the will of man, but of God.

¹⁵ John testified of him and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is preferred before me, for he was before me. ¹⁶ And out of his fulness have we all received, even grace upon grace. For the law was given by Moses, ¹⁷ but grace and truth was by Jesus Christ.

²¹ And they asked him, What then, Art thou Elijah? ²² And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. Then said they to him, Who art thou? That we may give an answer to them that sent us. ²³ What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.

²³ What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah. ²⁴ And they who were sent were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they asked him and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet? ²⁶ John answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but there standeth one among you whom ye know not. ²⁷ He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

²⁷ He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to unloose. ²⁸ These things were done in Bethabara, beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. ²⁹ The next day he seeth Jesus coming toward him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.

²⁹ The next day he seeth Jesus coming toward him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world. ³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is preferred before me; for he was before me. ³¹ And I knew him not, but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

³⁴ And I saw it, and testified, that this is the Son of God.

⁴⁵ Philip findeth Nathanael and saith to him, We have found him, whom Moses in the law and the prophets described, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. ⁴⁶ And Nathanael saith to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.

⁴⁹ Nathagael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, may not perish, but have everlasting life.

²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but I am sent before him.

²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly, because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. He that cometh from above is above all: ³¹ he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. ³² And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: yet no man receiveth his testimony. ³³ He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal, that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for God giveth not him the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life: but he that obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

²¹ For as the Father raiseth and quickeneth the dead, so the Son also quickeneth whom he will. ²² For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath given all judgment to the Son: ²³ That all men may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent him. ²⁴ Verily, verily I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and cometh not into condemnation, but is passed from death to life. ²⁵ Verily, verily I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself, ²⁷ And hath given him authority, to execute judgment likewise, because he is the Son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the time is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, ²⁹ And shall come forth, they that have done good, to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.

³⁵ He was a burning and a shining light, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

¹¹ Then Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were sat down, and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. ¹² When they were filled, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost. ¹³ They therefore gathered them, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.

³⁵ He that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

⁶⁹ Thou hast the words of eternal life. And we have believed and known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ.

¹² Then spake Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

⁵ While I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Having said this,

⁴⁰ Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

³⁴ We have heard out of the law, that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up?

⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me, may not continue in darkness.

⁵ After that, he poured water into the bason, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel, wherewith he was girded. ⁶ Then cometh he to Simon Peter, who saith to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, What I do, thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. ⁸ Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

¹³ Ye call me Master and Lord; and ye say well; for so I am.

²⁴ Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, to ask who it was of whom he spake.

²⁷ Ye also testify, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God. ²⁹ Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: happy are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

³¹ But these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life thro' his name.

¹ The former treatise have I composed, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,

¹ The former treatise have I composed, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach, ² Until the day he was taken up, after having thro' the Holy Ghost given commandment to the apostles, whom he had chosen: ³ To whom also he presented himself alive after his passion, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

³ To whom also he presented himself alive after his passion, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

⁸ But ye shall receive power, the Holy Ghost being come upon you, and shall be witnesses to me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.

²¹ Wherefore of these men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus was going in and out over us, ²² Beginning from the baptism of John, till the day that he was taken up from us, one must be ordained, to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

¹⁴ Then Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words. ¹⁵ These are not drunken as ye suppose for it is but the third hour of the day. ¹⁶ But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel, ¹⁷ And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: ¹⁸ And in those days I will pour out of my Spirit upon my servants and upon my handmaids, and they shall prophecy.

²⁶ Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue exulteth; yea, and my flesh shall rest in hope. ²⁷ For thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou wilt fill me with joy by thy countenance.

³⁰ Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, That of the fruit of his loins one should sit on his throne,

³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, That God hath made this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.

³⁸ And Peter said, Repent, and be baptized every one of you, in the name of Jesus, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

⁴³ And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were wrought by the apostles.

¹⁹ Repent ye therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

²¹ who was before appointed, Whom heaven must receive, till the times of the restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets. ²² For Moses truly said to the fathers, The Lord your God shall raise you up a prophet of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things, whatsoever he shall say to you. ²³ And every soul who will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. ²⁴ Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and them that followed, whosoever have spoken, have also foretold these days. ²⁵ Ye are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. ²⁶ God having raised up his Son, hath sent him to you first, to bless you, by turning every one of you from your iniquities.

⁸ Then Peter filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

²⁰ For we cannot but speak the things, which we have seen and heard.

⁵ And Ananias hearing these words, fell down and expired; and great fear came on all that heard these things.

¹¹ And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that heard these things.

¹⁹ But an angel of the Lord opened the prison-doors, by night, and bringing them forth,

³¹ Him hath God exalted, a Prince and a Saviour with his right-hand, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

³ Therefore, brethren, look out from among you seven men of good report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we will set over this business.

⁸ And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day, and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

⁴⁸ Yet the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands, as saith the prophet, Heaven is my throne, and earth my footstool.

⁵⁵ But he being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up stedfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right-hand of God:

³⁶ And as they went on the way, they came to a certain water. And the eunuch said, Behold water: what hindereth me to be baptized?

⁶ And he trembling and astonished, said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said to him, Arise and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

³ He saw plainly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of the Lord coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius. ⁴ And looking stedfastly on him, and being affrighted, he said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.

⁴ And looking stedfastly on him, and being affrighted, he said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.

¹⁷ Now while Peter doubted in himself, what the vision he had seen should mean, behold the men sent by Cornelius, having inquired out Simon's house, stood at the gate,

³¹ and behold a man stood before me in bright clothing, And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are remembred before God.

³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore we are all present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee by God.

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom yet they slew and hanged on a tree. ⁴⁰ Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; ⁴¹ (Not to all the people, but to witnesses, chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him) after he rose from the dead.

⁴³ To him give all the prophets witness, that every one who believeth in him, shall receive forgiveness of sins through his name.

⁴ Then Peter beginning, laid all things before them in order, saying, I was praying in the city of Joppa,

²¹ And the hand of the Lord was with them; and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

¹⁷ But he beckoning to them with his hand, to be silent, declared to them, How the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Shew these things to James and to the brethren.

²⁴ John having first preached before his coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But behold one cometh after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

³⁸ Be it known unto you therefore, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins. ³⁹ And by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

¹⁹ Wherefore my sentence is, That we trouble not them who from among the Gentiles turn to God.

²⁵ It seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send to you chosen men,

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, that no further burden be laid upon you than these necessary things, To abstain from meats offered to idols and blood,

¹⁷ She following after Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are servants of the most high God, who declare to us the way of salvation.

⁹ Then the Lord said to Paul by a vision, in the night, Fear not, but speak and hold not thy peace: ¹⁰ For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.

¹⁰ For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.

⁴⁰ And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, waved his hand to the people: and a great silence being made, he spake to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

¹ And Paul earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God till this day.

²⁶ As this man was seized by the Jews,

³ But that I may not trouble thee farther,

¹⁶ And for this cause do I exercise myself to have always a conscience void of offence toward God and toward man.

¹⁶ And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise and stand upon thy feet; for I have appeared to thee for this purpose, to ordain thee a minister and a witness, both of the things which thou hast seen,

¹⁸ and the Gentiles, to whom I now send thee, To open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God; that they may receive through faith which is in me, forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among them that are sanctified.

²⁵ But he said, I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but utter the words of truth and sobriety.

²⁴ thou must be presented before Cesar: and lo God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

²⁵ And not agreeing with each other, they brake up the assembly, after Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by the prophet Isaiah to your fathers,

² Which he had promised before, by his prophets in the holy scriptures,

² Which he had promised before, by his prophets in the holy scriptures, ³ Concerning his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, ⁴ who was of the seed of David, according to the flesh, But declared the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead,

²¹ Because knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.

¹⁸ and gloriest in God, And knowest his will, and discernest the things that differ, being instructed out of the law:

³ For what if some believed not? Shall their unbelief disannul the faithfulness of God?

⁹ What then? Are we better than they? In no wise: for we have before proved all, both Jews and Gentiles, to be under sin. ¹⁰ As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one. ¹¹ There is none that understandeth; there is none that seeketh after God. ¹² They have all turned aside; they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doth good, no not one. ¹³ Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues have they used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips. ¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; ¹⁵ Their feet are swift to shed blood; ¹⁶ Destruction and misery are in their ways, ¹⁷ And they have not known the way of peace:

¹⁷ And they have not known the way of peace: ¹⁸ The fear of God is not before their eyes. ¹⁹ Now we know that whatsoever the law saith, it saith to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be found guilty before God. ²⁰ Therefore no flesh shall be justified in his sight by the works of the law; for by the law is the knowledge of sin. ²¹ But the righteousness of God without the law is now manifested, being attested by the law and the prophets, ²² Even the righteousness of God, by the faith of Jesus Christ, to all and upon all that believe; for there is no difference: ²³ For all have sinned, and are fallen short of the glory of God, ²⁴ And are justified freely by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus: ²⁵ Whom God hath set forth as a propitiation, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness by the remission of past sins, through the forbearance of God: For a demonstration,

²⁵ Whom God hath set forth as a propitiation, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness by the remission of past sins, through the forbearance of God: For a demonstration,

⁶ So David also describeth the happiness of the man, to whom God imputeth righteousness without works: ⁷ Happy are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; ⁸ Happy is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

¹⁹ And not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, being about an hundred years old, nor the deadness of Sarah's womb. ²⁰ He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, ²¹ And being fully assured, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

¹¹ And not only so, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.

²² But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

¹⁵ For ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again unto fear, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

³¹ What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

⁵ Whose are the fathers, and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is, over all, God, blessed for ever. ⁶ Not as if the word of God had fallen to the ground; for all are not Israel, who are of Israel.

²³ And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, whom he had before prepared for glory?

¹⁶ That I should be the servant of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministring the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

²⁶ Behold your calling brethren: that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:

²⁶ Behold your calling brethren: that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called: ²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world, to shame the things that are mighty: ²⁸ And the base things of the world, and things that are despised, hath God chosen; yea, things that are not, to bring to nought the things that are; That no flesh may glory before him.

³¹ That as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

¹ Let a man so account us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

⁸ Now ye are full: now ye are rich: ye have reigned as kings without us. And I would ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

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. ¹¹ And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

⁴⁰ But she is happier, if she continue as she is, in my judgment; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

² Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the orders, as I delivered them to you.

²⁶ And whether one member suffer, all the members might suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members might rejoice with it.

¹⁹ Yet in the congregation I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

²⁴ Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power. ²⁵ For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

¹² As to our brother Apollos, I besought him much, to come to you with the brethren; yet he was by no means willing to come now; but he will come, when it shall be convenient.

¹² For this is our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more especially toward you.

¹⁴ Now thanks be to God, who causeth us always to triumph through Christ, and manifesteth by us in every place the odour of his knowledge.

⁵ Destroying reasonings, and every high thing which exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

¹⁵ But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

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.

¹⁵ I speak after the manner of men: though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, none disannulleth or addeth thereto. ¹⁶ Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. ¹⁷ And this I say, the covenant which was before confirmed of God through Christ, the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

²⁹ And if ye are Christ's, then are ye the seed of Abraham, and heirs according to the promise.

⁴ But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son,

⁶ Let him that is taught in the word impart to him that teacheth in all good things.

¹⁶ And as many as walk by this rule, peace be upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places through Christ, ⁴ As he hath chosen us through him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and blameless before him in love,

⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace, ⁷ by which he hath freely accepted us through the beloved, By whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins,

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, ²¹ Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. 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.

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. ⁴ But God who is rich in mercy, ⁵ through his great love wherewith he loved us, Hath quickened us together with Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (by grace ye are saved) And hath raised us up together,

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created through Christ Jesus unto good works, which God had before prepared, that we might walk in them.

⁷ Of which I have been made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power. ⁸ Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints is this grace given, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.

²⁰ Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

¹¹ And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers; ¹² For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, to the edifying the body of Christ;

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

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

¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

¹⁸ And be not drunken with wine,

⁸ For God is my witness, how I long for you all, with the bowels of Jesus Christ.

¹ If there be then any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies; Fulfil ye my joy,

³ Do nothing through strife or vain-glory, but in lowliness of mind, esteem each the others better than themselves.

⁹ Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above every name, ¹⁰ That at the name of Jesus every knee might bow, of those in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth: ¹¹ And every tongue might confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord in the glory of God the Father.

¹² Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering: 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.

¹ It remaineth then, brethren, that we beseech and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, that ye abound therein more and more.

⁷ For God hath not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness.

⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. ⁵ Ye are all children of the light and children of the day: we are not children of the night, nor of darkness.

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.

¹ Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Saviour,

³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

¹⁶ The mystery of godliness is the pillar and ground of the truth, and without controversy a great thing: God was manifested in the flesh, was justified by the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, taken up into glory.

⁷ For God hath not given us the Spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and sobriety.

⁹ not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus, before the world began;

¹³ if we deny him, he will also deny us: If we believe not, he remaineth faithful; he cannot deny himself.

²¹ If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, consecrated and fit for the master's use, prepared for every good work.

¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the preaching might be fully known, even that all nations might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

² In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began; ³ And he hath in due time manifested his word, thro' the preaching wherewith I am intrusted, according to the commandment of God our Saviour:

¹⁰ not answering again, Not stealing, but shewing all good fidelity, that they may in all things adorn the gospel of God our Saviour. ¹¹ For the saving grace of God hath appeared to all men, ¹² Teaching us, that, having renounced ungodliness and all wordly desires, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present world, ¹³ Looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God, even our Saviour Jesus Christ.

¹³ Looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God, even our Saviour Jesus Christ. 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,

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.

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,

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.

² Whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds: ³ Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and sustaining all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high, ⁴ Being made so much higher than the angels, as he hath by inheritance a more excellent name than they. ⁵ For to which of the angels did he ever say, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? ⁶ And again, When he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. ⁷ And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. ⁸ But unto the Son, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness:

⁸ But unto the Son, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness:

¹⁴ Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to serve for them who shall inherit salvation?

³ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation, which began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that had heard him?

¹⁵ And deliver them, as many as through fear of death, were all their life-time subject to bondage.

⁷ Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith) To day,

¹¹ By faith Sarah also herself received power to conceive seed, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised.

² who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right-hand of the throne of God.

⁶ So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear what man can do unto me.

⁹ Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: ¹⁰ But the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he hath promised to them that love him? ⁶ But ye have disgraced the poor.

¹⁰ Humble yourselves in the sight of God, and he will lift you up.

¹ Go to now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you. ² Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. ³ Your gold and silver is cankered, and the canker of them shall be a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire: ye have laid up treasure in the last days. 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. ⁵ Ye have lived delicately on earth, and been wanton; ye have cherished your hearts, as in a day of sacrifice. ⁶ Ye have condemned, ye have killed the just: he doth not resist you.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, hath begotten us again to a living hope, by the resurrection of Christ from the dead,

⁸ Whom having not seen, ye love: in whom tho' ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

¹² To whom it was revealed, that not for themselves, but for us they ministered the things which have been now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven: which things angels desire to look into.

¹⁴ As obedient children, not conforming yourselves to your former desires, in your ignorance; ¹⁵ But as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation: ¹⁶ For it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

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;

¹ The elders that are among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and likewise a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed,

⁵ In like manner, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder, and be ye all subject to each other. Be ye cloathed with humility; for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

⁴ By which he hath given us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these, having escaped the corruption which is in the world thro' desire, ye may become partakers of the divine nature: ⁵ For this very reason giving all diligence, add to your faith courage, ⁶ and to courage knowledge, And to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience, ⁷ and to patience godliness, And to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. ⁸ For these being in you and abounding, make you neither slothful nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ But I will endeavour, that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. ¹⁶ For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.

¹⁶ For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.

¹⁶ For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received honour and glory from God the Father, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I delight. ¹⁸ And we being with him in the holy mountain, heard this voice coming from heaven: ¹⁹ And we have the word of prophecy more confirmed, to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a lamp that shone in a dark place, till the day should dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:

¹⁹ And we have the word of prophecy more confirmed, to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a lamp that shone in a dark place, till the day should dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:

²¹ For prophecy never came by the will of man, but the holy men of God spake being moved by the Holy Ghost.

¹¹ Seeing then all these things are dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, ¹² Looking for and hastning the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? ¹³ Nevertheless we look for new heavens and a new earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousness. ¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, seeing ye look for these things, labour to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless.

¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, seeing ye look for these things, labour to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless.

¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have handled of the word of life: ² For the life was manifested, 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 declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ:

⁵ And this is the message which we have heard of him and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ⁶ If we say we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth. ⁷ But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

³ And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

²⁸ And now, beloved children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. ²⁹ If ye know, that he is righteous, ye know that every one who doth righteousness is born of him.

⁷ Beloved children, let no one deceive you. He that practiseth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. ⁸ He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning: to this end the son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil.

¹⁷ But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

⁹ Hereby was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. ¹⁰ Herein is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, a propitiation for our sins.

²⁵ To the only God, our Saviour, be glory, and majesty, might and authority, both now and to all ages. Amen.

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead: and he laid his right-hand upon me, saying, Fear not, I am the First and the Last,

¹⁰ Fear none of those things which thou art about to suffer: behold the devil is about to cast some of you into prison that ye may be tried, and ye shall have affliction ten days: Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

⁷ And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia write, These things saith the Holy, the True One, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and none shutteth, and shutteth and none openeth.

¹⁷ Because thou sayst, I am rich, and have inriched myself, and have need of nothing, and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified in the fire, that thou mayst be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayst be clothed, and the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayst see. ¹⁹ Whomsoever I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous and repent.

⁸ And the four living creatures had each of them six wings; round about and within they are full of eyes: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was, and who is, and who cometh.

¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. ¹⁷ For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, and will lead them to living fountains of water: and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.

³ And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and much incense was given him, that he might place it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which is before the throne.

³ And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and much incense was given him, that he might place it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which is before the throne. ⁴ And the smoke of the incense came up before God out of the angels hand with the prayers of the saints.

¹³ And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four corners of the golden altar which is before God,

¹ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.

¹⁶ And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

¹⁸ Now the birth of Christ was on this wise: His mother Mary, being espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

²⁰ But while he was thinking on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife; for that which is begotten in her, is of the Holy Ghost.

²⁰ But while he was thinking on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife; for that which is begotten in her, is of the Holy Ghost. ²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins.

²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins.

²³ saying, Behold the virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a Son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.)

²⁵ But he knew her not, till she had brought forth her Son, the first-born. And he called his name Jesus.

¹ Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold wise men came from the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews?

¹¹ And after the three days and an half, the spirit of life from God came into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that saw them.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever.

⁴ Who would not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art gracious: for all the nations shall come and worship before thee: for thy judgments are made manifest.

⁸ Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and sorrow, and famine; and she shall be burnt with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

⁵ And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, small and great.

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship him: but he saith to me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

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.

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. ⁵ The rest of the dead lived not again till the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. ⁶ Happy and holy is he that hath a part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

³ And there shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall worship him, ⁴ And shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads. ⁵ And there shall be no night there, neither is there need of a lamp, or of the light of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light, and they shall reign for ever.

¹⁶ I Jesus have sent my angel to testify to you, to the churches, these things. I am the root and the off-spring of David, the bright, the morning-star. And the spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come.
