²⁶ If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

²⁶ If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. ²⁷ And whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. ²⁸ And which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and computeth the cost, whether he hath sufficient to finish it?

³³ So every one of you, who forsaketh not all that he hath, cannot be my disciple.

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the son of man. ²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. ²⁸ Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded: ²⁹ But the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. ³⁰ Even thus shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. ³¹ In that day, he that shall be on the house-top and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

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.

²² Sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. ²³ And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful; for he was very rich. ²⁴ And Jesus seeing that he was very sorrowful, said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God?

²⁸ Then Peter said, Lo we have left all and followed thee. ²⁹ And he said to them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, ³⁰ for the kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in the present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

⁴ And they reasoned among themselves, ⁵ saying, If we say from heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

²⁰ And watching him, they sent forth spies, feigning themselves to be just men, to take hold of his discourse, that they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governour.

²⁶ And they could not take hold of his words before the people; and marvelling at his answer, they held their peace.

³⁵ But they who are accounted worthy to obtaan that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. ³⁶ For neither can they die any more; for they are equal to angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

⁴⁰ And after that, they durst not ask him any question at all.

⁴⁶ who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief places at feasts,

¹⁵ which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay or resist.

³⁰ That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁹ But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day declines.

⁴⁷ And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

¹¹ He came to his own, and his own received him not.

¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

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.

³⁹ And many of the Samaritans out of that city believed on him, for the saying of the woman testifying, He told me all that ever I did. ⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans were come to him, they besought him to tarry with them. ⁴¹ And he abode there two days. And many more believed, ⁴² because of his word, And said to the woman, We no longer believe, because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

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.

⁴⁰ Yet ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.

²⁴ after the Lord had given thanks) When they saw, that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also went aboard the vessels, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus. ²⁵ And having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? ²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, Verily I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied. ²⁷ Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man will give you; for him hath God the Father sealed.

²⁷ Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man will give you; for him hath God the Father sealed. ²⁸ Then said they to him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? ²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. ³⁰ They said therefore to him, What sign dost thou then, that we may see and believe thee? What dost thou work? ³¹ Our fathers ate manna in the desert, as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. ³² Then said Jesus to them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Moses gave you not the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world. ³⁴ Then said they to him, Lord, ever give us this bread. And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. ³⁵ He that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. ³⁶ But I told you, that tho' ye have seen me, ye believe not. ³⁷ All that the Father giveth me, will come to me, and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. ³⁸ For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. ³⁹ And this is the will of him that sent me, That of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴¹ The Jews then murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. ⁴² And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven? ⁴³ Jesus answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves. ⁴⁴ No man can come to me, unless the Father who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard and learned of the Father, cometh to me. ⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he who is from God; he hath seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life. ⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and yet died. ⁴⁹ This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. ⁵⁰ I am the living bread which came down from heaven: ⁵¹ If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever, and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² The Jews then debated among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ But Jesus said to them, Verily, verily I say unto you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. ⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father, so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate manna, and died: he that eateth of this bread, shall live for ever. ⁵⁹ These things he said in the synagogue, teaching at Capernaum.

²³ If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken: Are ye angry at me, because I intirely healed a man on the sabbath?

³⁷ On the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees answered, Are ye also deceived? ⁴⁸ Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ But this populace, who know not the law, are accursed.

²¹ Then said Jesus again to them, I go, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin.

²⁴ Therefore I said, Ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not, that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

³⁹ And he worshiped him. Jesus said, For judgment am I come into the world, that they who see not, may see, and that they who see, may become blind.

²⁵ He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal.

² In my Father's house are many mansions; if not, I would have told you.

⁶ If any one abide not in me, he is cast out as a branch, and is withered: and they gather and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

¹⁷ And they took Jesus and led him away. And he bearing his cross, went forth to the place, called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:

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. ⁴ And having assembled them together, he commanded them, not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard from me. ⁵ For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence. ⁶ And when they were come together, they asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? ⁷ But he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 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. ⁹ And having spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their sight.

¹⁸ Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, and falling down on his face, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out. ¹⁹ And it was known to all that dwell at Jerusalem, so that that field is called, in their own tongue, Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.

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. ³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things common, ⁴⁵ And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, as any one had need.

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.

³⁴ For neither was there any one among them that lacked: for whosoever were possessors of houses or lands sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, ³⁵ And laid them down at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was made to every one, according as any had need.

¹ But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, ² And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and, bringing a certain part, laid it at the feet of the apostles. ³ But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart, to lie to the Holy Ghost? ⁴ And to keep back part of the price of the land? While it remained, did it not remain thine? And when it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God. ⁵ And Ananias hearing these words, fell down and expired; and great fear came on all that heard these things.

³⁴ But a certain Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honour by all the people, rising up in the council, ordered, to put the apostles out a little space:

¹⁰ And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.

⁴ Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went every where, preaching the word. ⁵ And Philip coming down to a city of Samaria, preached Christ to them. ⁶ And the people with one accord gave heed to the things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. ⁷ For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many that had them, and many sick of the palsy and lame were healed.

¹⁸ And Simon seeing that thro' laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Ghost was given, ¹⁹ offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

¹⁹ offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought to purchase the gift of God with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.

¹⁵ But the Lord said unto him, Go: for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before nations and kings, and the children of Israel.

³⁹ Then Peter arose and went with them; whom being come, they brought into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

⁴⁴ While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all that were hearing the word. ⁴⁵ And the believers of the circumcision, as many as came with Peter, were amazed, that the gift of the Holy Ghost was poured out on the Gentiles also. ⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. ⁴⁷ Then Peter answered, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, even as we? ⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they prayed him to tarry certain days.

¹⁸ When they heard these things, they were quiet, and glorified God, saying, Then God hath given to the Gentiles also repentance unto life. ¹⁹ Now they who had been scattered abroad by the distress which arose about Stephen, travelled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching to none but Jews only. ²⁰ And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who coming into Antioch, spake to the Greeks, preaching the Lord Jesus. ²¹ And the hand of the Lord was with them; and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

²⁰ And he was highly incensed against them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and having gained Blastus, the king's chamberlain, sued for peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.

²⁶ Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

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.

⁴⁵ But the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and spake against the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. ⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold! we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold! we turn to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set Thee for a light of the Gentiles, that Thou mightest be for salvation to the ends of the earth. ⁴⁸ And the Gentiles hearing it were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life, believed.

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

¹⁵ And when she was baptized and her family, she intreated us saying, Since ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she constrained us.

⁵ And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Jews, that Jesus was the Christ. ⁶ But when they set themselves in opposition and blasphemed, he shook his raiment and said to them, Your blood is upon your own head; I am pure: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

⁶ But when they set themselves in opposition and blasphemed, he shook his raiment and said to them, Your blood is upon your own head; I am pure: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

²¹ But he said to me, Depart: for I will send thee far off to the Gentiles. ²² And they heard him to this word, and then lifted up their voice and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth; for it is not fit that he should live.

¹⁵ Having hope in God, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust, which they themselves also expect.

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. ¹⁹ From that time, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, ²⁰ But first to them at Damascus and at Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judea, and then to the Gentiles I declare, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

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, ²⁶ Saying, Go to this people and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive. ²⁷ For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they hear heavily, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and should be converted, and I should heal them. ²⁸ Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.

¹³ and hated Esau.

⁹ And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. ¹⁰ And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and laud him, all ye people. ¹² And again Isaiah faith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and one arising to rule over the Gentiles: in him shall the Gentiles hope.

¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay, than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ: And if any one build on this foundation, gold, silver, costly stones; ¹² wood, hay, stubble, Every one's work shall be made manifest; ¹³ for the day shall declare it: for it is revealed by fire; yea the fire shall try every one's work, of what sort it is. ¹⁴ If any one's work which he hath built thereon shall remain, he shall receive a reward.

²⁹ But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that even they that have wives, be as if they had none: And they that weep, as if they wept not; ³⁰ and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; ³¹ and they that buy, as if they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it; for the fashion of this world passeth away: Now I would have you without carefulness.

³³ But the married careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

¹⁹ For though I am free from all men, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.

¹⁹ For though I am free from all men, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more. ²⁰ To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law:

²⁰ To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law: ²¹ To them that are without the law, as without the law, (being not without the law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain them that are without the law.

²¹ To them that are without the law, as without the law, (being not without the law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain them that are without the law. ²² To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak: I became all things to all men, that by all means I might save some.

²² To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak: I became all things to all men, that by all means I might save some. ²³ And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker thereof with you.

¹¹ Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men: but we are made manifest to God, and I trust we are made manifest in your consciences also.

¹⁸ And all things are from God, who hath reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation: Namely,

²⁰ Therefore we are embassadors for Christ, as though God were intreating by us: we beseech you, in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

¹ We then, as fellow-labourers, do also exhort you, not to receive the grace of God in vain.

¹¹ Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh (who were called the uncircumcision, by that which is called the circumcision made with hands in the flesh) Were at that time without Christ, ¹² being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise; having no hope, and without God in the world. ¹³ But now through Christ Jesus, ye who were once far off are brought nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, he who hath made both one, ¹⁵ having broken down the middle wall of partition, Having abolished by his flesh the enmity, the law of commandments, through his decrees, that he might make the two one new man in himself, so making peace: ¹⁶ And might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby. ¹⁷ And he came and preached peace to you that were afar off, and to them that were nigh. ¹⁸ For through him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹ Therefore ye are no longer strangers, and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints and of the houshold of God, ²⁰ Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone, On whom all the building fitly framed together, 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.

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.

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

⁶ Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every one.

⁴ For when we were with you we told you before, we should be afflicted; as it came to pass, and ye know. ⁵ Therefore when I could bear no longer, I sent to know your faith, left by any means the tempter should have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

⁵ For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, ⁶ the man Christ Jesus, Who gave himself a ransom for all,

² A bishop therefore must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, prudent, of good behaviour, hospitable, apt to teach;

¹⁰ having been the wife of one husband, Well reported of for good works, if she hath brought up children, if she hath lodged strangers, if she hath washed the feet of the saints, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work.

⁹ But they that desire to be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful desires, which plunge men into destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting, have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

¹² For which cause also I suffer these things: yet I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have trusted, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him, until that day.

¹² Yea and all that are resolved to live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

² be instant in season, out of season; convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching.

⁴ And they will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.

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

⁸ But a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, prudent, just, holy, temperate, Holding fast the faithful word,

⁷ For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

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? ⁴ God also bearing them witness by signs, and wonders, and various miracles, and distributions of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will. ⁵ For he hath not subjected to the angels the world to come, whereof we speak. ⁶ But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou visitest him? ⁷ Thou madest him a little lower than the angels, thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands. ⁸ Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. Now in putting all things in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him: but now we do not yet see all things put under him.

³⁸ Now the just shall live by faith; but if he draw back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.

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

²⁵ for if they escaped not who refused him that delivered the oracle on earth, much more shall not we, who turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: ²⁶ Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.

² Forget not to entertain strangers, for hereby some have entertained angels unawares.

¹⁷ Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves; for they watch over your souls, as they that must give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with groans: for that is unprofitable for you.

¹ My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, ² in fine apparel, and there come in also a poor man in dirty raiment, ³ And ye look upon him that weareth the fine apparel, and say to him, Sit thou here in a good place, and say to the poor man, ⁴ Stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my footstool, Ye distinguish not in yourselves, but are become evil-reasoning judges. 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?

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.

⁶ But he giveth greater grace: therefore it saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

⁶ But he giveth greater grace: therefore it saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. ⁷ Submit yourselves, therefore, to God: resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you: cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded. ⁹ Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into heaviness. ¹⁰ Humble yourselves in the sight of God, and he will lift you up.

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

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.

¹³ Yea I think it right, so long as I am in this tabernacle to stir you up by reminding you: ¹⁴ Knowing that shortly I must put off my tabernacle, even as the Lord Jesus Christ shewed me.

¹⁹ While they promise them liberty, themselves are the slaves of corruption; for by whom a man is overcome, by him he is also brought into slavery. ²⁰ For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world, thro the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again intangled therein and overcome, their last state is worse then the first. ²¹ For it had been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it has befallen them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

² and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world: if any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eye, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

⁸ This is the seducer and the antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not the things we have wrought, but receive a full reward. ⁹ I wrote to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not.

⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.

¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: He that overcometh shall not be hurt by the second death.

¹⁷ He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh will I give of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which none knoweth, but he that receiveth it.

²⁹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

⁹ Behold I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them come and lie down before thy feet, and know that I have loved thee.

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me.

⁴ And I heard the number of them that were sealed; an hundred forty four thousand were sealed out of all the tribes of the children of Israel. ⁵ Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand, ⁶ Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Napthali were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand, ⁷ Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand, ⁸ Of the tribe of Zebulon were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. ⁹ After this I saw, and behold a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and tribes, and people, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes and palms in their hands.

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

¹ And I saw another sign in heaven great and wonderful, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for by them the wrath of God is fulfilled. ² And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire, and them that gained the victory over the wild beast, and over his image, and over the number of his name, standing at the sea of glass, and having the harps of God. ³ And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, O King of the nations? 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. ⁵ After this I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony was opened in heaven: ⁶ And the seven angels that had the seven plagues came out of the temple, clothed in pure, white linen, and having their breasts girt with golden girdles. ⁷ And one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden phials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever. ⁸ And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power: and none could go into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

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.

¹⁷ And let him that thirsteth, come: let him that willeth, take the water of life freely.
