For whosoever shall give you a cup of cold water to drink in my name, ⁴¹ because ye belong to Christ, verily I say to you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. ⁴² And whosoever shall offend one of the little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. ⁴³ And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: ⁴⁴ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵ And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁶ And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: ⁴⁷ it is good for thee, to enter into the kingdom of God having one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire: ⁴⁸ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁹ For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. ⁵⁰ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it?

⁹ And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire. ¹⁰ See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, that in heaven their angels continually behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard (for his name was spread abroad) and he said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore divine powers exert themselves in him. ¹⁵ Others said, It is Elijah: and others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets. ¹⁶ But Herod hearing thereof, said, This is that John whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. ¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison, for Herodias sake, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her. ¹⁸ For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee, to have thy brother's wife. ¹⁹ Therefore Herodias was incensed against him, and was desirous to have killed him; but she could not. ²⁰ For Herod reverenced John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and preserved him: and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. ²¹ And a convenient day being come, when Herod on his birth-day made a feast, for his lords, captains, and principal men of Galilee: ²² When the daughter of Herodias had come in and danced and pleased Herod, and his guests, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. ²³ And he sware to her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, to the half my kingdom. ²⁴ And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. ²⁵ And coming in quickly with haste to the king she asked, saying, I will that thou give me immediately in a charger the head of John the Baptist. ²⁶ And the king was exceeding sorry: yet for his oath's sake, and for the sake of his guests, he would not reject her. ²⁷ And immediately the king sent one of his guard, and commanded his head to be brought. ²⁸ And he went and beheaded him in the prison, And brought his head in a charger and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

³¹ And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. ³² And they departed into a desert place by boat privately.

¹⁷ And when he was come from the multitude into the house, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. ¹⁸ And he saith to them, Are even ye so without understanding? Do ye not perceive, That whatsoever entereth into a man from without, cannot defile him,

²⁶ having heard of him, came and fell at his feet, (The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation) and besought him to cast the devil out of her daughter.

¹¹ And the Pharisees came forth and questioned with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

¹⁷ And Jesus knowing it saith to them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? Perceive ye not yet, neither consider? Have ye your heart yet hardened? ¹⁸ Having eyes, see ye not? And having ears, hear ye not? And do not ye remember?

²³ And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town, and having spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him, If he saw ought?

²⁹ And he saith to them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answering saith to him, Thou art the Christ. ³⁰ And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. ³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³³ And Peter taking hold of him, rebuked him. But he turning about, and looking on his disciples rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou savourest not the things of God, but the things of men.

² And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and carrieth them up into an high mountain, by themselves apart, and was transfigured before them. ³ And his raiment became shining, exceeding white, as snow, such as no fuller on earth can whiten. ⁴ And there appeared to him Elijah with Moses, and they talked with Jesus.

¹⁰ And they laid hold on that saying, questioning one with another, What meaneth, Till he were risen from the dead?

¹² And he answering told them, Elijah verily coming first, restoreth all things: and, how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at naught.

¹⁵ And straightway all the multitude seeing him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, saluted him.

¹⁸ And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him, and he foameth and gnasheth with his teeth and pineth away. And I spake to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

²⁰ How long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me. And they brought him to him. And when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him, and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

²⁵ And Jesus seeing that the multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying, Thou deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. ²⁶ And having cried and rent him sore, he came out; and he was as dead, so that many said, He is dead.

²⁸ And when he was come into an house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? ²⁹ And he said to them, This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting. ³⁰ And departing thence, they passed thro' Galilee, and he was not willing that any should know it. ³¹ For he taught his disciples and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men; and they will kill him, and after he hath been killed, he shall rise the third day. ³² But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

³⁴ But they held their peace; for they had been debating among themselves in the way, Who should be greatest?

⁴³ And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

⁴³ And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: ⁴⁴ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵ And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁴⁵ And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁴⁵ And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁶ And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: ⁴⁷ it is good for thee, to enter into the kingdom of God having one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire: ⁴⁸ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁴⁸ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁵⁰ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

¹³ And they brought little children to him that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those that brought them.

¹³ And they brought little children to him that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those that brought them. ¹⁴ But Jesus seeing it was much displeased and said to them, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁶ And taking them up in his arms, he put his hands upon them and blessed them.

³² And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them. And they were amazed, and as they followed, they were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he told them what things should befall him: ³³ Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes: and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles. ³⁴ And they will mock him and scourge him and spit upon him and kill him. And the third day he will rise again.

⁴² But Jesus calling them, saith to them, Ye know that they who rule over the Gentiles, lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority upon them. ⁴³ But it shall not be so among you; but whosoever desireth to be great among you, shall be your servant. ⁴⁴ And whosoever desireth to be the chief, shall be the servant of all. ⁴⁵ For the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

²³ For verily I say to you, Whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and cast into the sea, and not doubt in his heart, but believe that the things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith.

²⁸ And who gave thee authority to do these things?

¹⁴ And they coming say to him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?

²⁶ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with power and great glory.

³⁰ Verily I say to you, this generation shall in no wise pass, till all these things be done.

³³ And he taketh with him Peter and James and John; and he began to be sore amazed and in deep anguish, And saith to them,

⁵ And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man, sitting on the right-side, clothed in a white robe; and they were affrighted. ⁶ He saith to them, Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen: he is not here. Behold the place where they laid him. ⁷ But go, tell his disciples, and Peter, He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said to you. ⁸ And going out, they fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: and they said nothing to any; for they were afraid.

¹² After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they were walking, going into the country.

¹⁴ Afterwards he appeared to the eleven, sitting at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them who had seen him after he was risen.

¹⁶ And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

⁷⁶ And thou, child, shalt be a prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways,

²⁶ And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

⁵⁰ And they understood not the saying which he spake to them.

⁵⁰ And they understood not the saying which he spake to them. ⁵¹ And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them; but his mother kept all these things in her heart.

² Annas being the high priest and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins: ⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth: And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁶ Then said he to the multitudes,

¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and concerning all the evils which Herod had done, Added also this above all, ²⁰ that he shut up John in prison.

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And the devil having thrown him in the midst, came out of him, and hurt him not.

⁴¹ And devils also came out of many, crying out and saying, Thou art Christ, the Son of God. And he rebuking them, suffered them not to say, that they knew he was the Christ.

¹³ And some of the vagabond Jews, who were exorcists, undertook to name the name of the Lord Jesus, over those who had evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth. ¹⁴ And there were seven sons of one Sceva a Jewish chief priest, who did this. ¹⁵ But the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? ¹⁶ And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leaping upon them, and getting the mastery of them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

² And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

¹⁰ In brotherly love be full of tender affection toward each other, in honour preferring one another:

¹⁸ If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

¹³ Let us therefore no longer judge one another; but judge this rather, not to lay a stumbling block, or a scandal before a brother.

¹⁵ But if thy brother is grieved by thy meat, thou no longer walkest charitably. Destroy not him by thy meat, for whom Christ died.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ And he that in these serveth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved by men. ¹⁹ Let us therefore pursue the things that tend to peace, and to mutual edification.

⁷ But whatsoever things were gain to me, those I have accounted loss for Christ. ⁸ Yea doubtless, and I account all things to be loss, for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do account them but dung,

²¹ Who will transform our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, acccording to the mighty working, whereby he is able even to subject all things to himself.

⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

¹³ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, unto him that was able to save him from death, and being heard from his fears; Tho' he was a son,

³⁰ But the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? ³¹ And Jesus answering said to them, They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. ³² I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

¹² And in those days he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in the prayer of God.

¹³ And the Lord seeing her, was moved with tender compassion for her, and said, Weep not.

³⁸ brought an alabaster box of ointment, And standing at his feet behind him weeping, watered his feet with a shower of tears, and wiped them, with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

⁴⁴ And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath watered my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

²⁹ (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man: for many times it had caught him, and he had been kept bound with chains and fetters, and breaking the bands asunder, he had been driven by the spirit into the deserts.)

⁴³ And a woman who had had an issue of blood twelve years, and had spent all her living upon Physicians, neither could be healed by any,

¹⁹ They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

²⁷ And I tell you of a truth there are some standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. ²⁸ And about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and James and John, and went up into a mountain to pray. ²⁹ And as he prayed, the fashien of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. ³⁰ And behold two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³⁰ And behold two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elijah, ³¹ Who appearing in glory, spake of his decease, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³¹ Who appearing in glory, spake of his decease, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. ³² But Peter and those with him were weighed down with sleep; and awaking they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. ³³ And just as they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents, ane for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah, not knowing what he said. ³⁴ While he spake thus, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they feared while they entered into the cloud. ³⁵ And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear ye him. ³⁶ And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone: and they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

³⁶ And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone: and they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen. ³⁷ And the next day, as they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met him. ³⁸ And behold a man from the croud, cried aloud saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son; for he is my only child.

³⁸ And behold a man from the croud, cried aloud saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son; for he is my only child. ³⁹ And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out, and it teareth him, that he foameth, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him.

³⁹ And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out, and it teareth him, that he foameth, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him. ⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not. ⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring thy son hither. ⁴² And as he was yet coming, the devil threw him down and tore him: and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴² And as he was yet coming, the devil threw him down and tore him: and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father. ⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. And while they all wondered at all things which Jesus did, 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.

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. ⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of this saying.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of this saying. ⁴⁶ And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest? ⁴⁷ And Jesus seeing the thought of their heart, took a little child, ⁴⁸ and sat him by him, And said to them, whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴⁸ and sat him by him, And said to them, whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. ⁴⁹ And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbad him; because he followeth not with us. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, forbid him not, for he that is not against you is for you.

¹⁶ He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me, rejecteth him that sent me.

¹⁴ And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb: and when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake, and the people wondered.

¹⁹ Because ye say, that I cast out devils by Beelzebub. And if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out?

²³ He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

²⁶ Then goeth he and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and entering in they dwell there; and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.

⁵³ And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fiercely to fasten upon him, and to urge him to speak of many things, ⁵⁴ Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

¹⁶ And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound lo these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath?

¹⁰ go and sit down in the lowest place, that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour in the presence of them that sit at table with thee. For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that ¹¹ humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹³ But when thou makest an entertainment, invite the poor,

²¹ So the servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the disabled, and the lame, and the blind.

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.

³⁴ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? ³⁵ It is neither fit for the land nor yet for dung; they cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

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. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you, there is a great gulph fixed; so that they who would pass from us to you, cannot, neither can they pass to us that would come from thence.

¹ Then said he to the disciples, It is impossible but offences will come; but wo to him through whom they come. ² It were better for him that a mill-stone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

⁵ And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, ⁶ If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say to this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

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.

³¹ Then he took to him the twelve, and said to them, Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets shall be accomplished on the Son of man. ³² For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully intreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: ³³ and the third day he shall rise again.

³³ and the third day he shall rise again. ³⁴ And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

³⁴ And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

¹⁸ For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God shall come.

²⁴ There was also a contention among them, Which of them was greatest. ²⁵ And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and they that exercise authority upon them have the title of benefactors. ²⁶ But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he that is chief as he that serveth.

²⁶ But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he that is chief as he that serveth. ²⁷ For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you as he that serveth. ²⁸ Ye are they who have continued with in me in my temptations. ²⁹ And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father to me, ³⁰ That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

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

¹¹ And Herod, having with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a splendid robe, sent him back to Pilate.

³⁹ And one of the malefactors, who were hanging on the cross, reviled him, saying, If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.

⁷ Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and rise again the third day. ⁸ And they remembered his words,

²⁵ Then he said to them, O foolish, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

²⁵ Then he said to them, O foolish, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

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.

²⁷ And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them the things in all the scriptures, concerning himself.

³¹ And their eyes were opened, and they knew him, and he vanished out of their sight.

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.

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. ⁴⁵ Then opened he their understanding,

⁴⁵ Then opened he their understanding, ⁴⁶ to understand the scriptures, And said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

⁴⁶ to understand the scriptures, And said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

⁶ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a testimony, 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. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made by him; yet the world knew him not. ¹¹ He came to his own, and his own received him not. ¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he privilege to become the sons of God, to them that believe in his name: ¹³ Who were born, not of blood, nor by the will of the flesh, nor by the will of man, but of God. ¹⁴ And the Word was made flesh, and tabernacled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.

¹⁴ And the Word was made flesh, and tabernacled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth. 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. ¹⁸ No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. ¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou? ²⁰ And he confessed and denied not, but confessed, I am not the 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. 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. 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. 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. ³² And John testified, saying, I saw the Spirit descending like a dove, and it abode upon him. ³³ And I knew him not, but he that sent me to baptize with water, he had said to me, On whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, this is he who baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. ³⁴ And I saw it, and testified, that this is the Son of God.

³⁴ And I saw it, and testified, that this is the Son of God. ³⁵ Again, the next day, John was standing, and two of his disciples. ³⁶ And looking upon Jesus walking, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God.

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

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and I will raise it up in three days.

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and I will raise it up in three days. ²⁰ Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; ²² and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

²⁵ because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man; for he knew what was in man.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,

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. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved thro' him. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him, is not condemned; but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

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. 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:

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with a woman. Yet none said, What seekest thou? Or, Why talkest thou with her?

⁴⁷ When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and besought him, to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. ⁴⁸ Jesus said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. ⁴⁹ The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down, ere my child die. ⁵⁰ Jesus saith to him, Go: thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus spake to him, and he went.

⁵ And a certain man was there, who had been diseased eight and thirty years. ⁶ Jesus seeing him lie, and knowing that he had now been diseased a long time, saith to him, Desirest thou to be made whole?

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also said, that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

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.

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.

³⁷ And the Father who hath sent me, he hath testified of me: ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

³⁹ Search the scriptures: in them ye think ye have eternal life: and it is they that testify of me.

⁴⁵ Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you even Moses, in whom ye trust. ⁴⁶ For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. ⁴⁷ But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

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.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and your will is, to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth; for there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

⁵¹ Verily, verily I say unto you, if a man keep my word, he shall never see death. ⁵² Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead and the prophets; yet thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

¹ And as he passed on, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth.

²⁰ How then doth he now see? His parents answered them, and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. ²¹ But how he now seeth, we know not, or who hath opened his eyes, we know not.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and having found him, he said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

¹⁸ No one taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.

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

¹⁶ These things his disciples understood not at first; but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered, that these things were written of of him, and that they had done these things to him.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour?

³³ (He spake this, signifying what death he should die.) The people answered him, 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?

⁴⁴ Jesus said with a loud voice, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. ⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

³⁴ A new commandment I give you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

⁸ Philip saith to him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. ⁹ Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father: and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father?

²¹ He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas (not Iscariot) saith to him, Lord, how is it, that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.

¹⁷ This I command you, that ye love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hate you, ye know it hated me, before it hated you.

¹⁷ Then some of his disciples said to each other, What is this that he said to us? A little while and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while and ye shall see me? and, Because I go to the Father? ¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this little while that he speaketh of? We understand not what he saith. ¹⁹ Jesus knew they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, Ye inquire among you of this, that I said, A little while and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while and ye shall see me.

¹⁹ Jesus knew they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, Ye inquire among you of this, that I said, A little while and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while and ye shall see me.

²⁹ His disciples say to him, Lo now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no parable. ³⁰ Now we are sure thou knowest all things, and needest not that any should question thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

²⁵ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ Jesus therefore seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son. ²⁷ Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁷ Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands, and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side, and be not faithless, but believing.

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.

¹⁷ He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my sheep. He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.

²³ Follow thou me. Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him, That he should not die: but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is it to thee?

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.

⁹ And having spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their sight.

²³ Him being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands, have crucified and slain: ²⁴ Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death, as it was not possible that he should be held under it.

² And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that were entering into the temple, Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple,

⁷ And taking him by the right-hand, he lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle-bones were strengthened,

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.

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.

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.

²² For the man on whom this miracle of healing had been wrought, was above forty years old.

²⁷ For of a truth, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, ²⁸ To do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel before determined to be done.

³⁷ This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, The Lord your God will raise you up, out of your brethren, a prophet like me: him shall ye hear.

⁵² Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them that shewed before of the coming of the Just One, of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: Who have received the law by the administration of angels,

⁵⁴ And hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and gnashed their teeth upon him.

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?

³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Cesarea.

⁴ And falling to the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

³³ And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, being ill of a palsy.

⁴⁰ But Peter, having put them all out, kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, sat up. ⁴¹ And giving her his hand, and having called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

⁴¹ And giving her his hand, and having called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

¹⁶ This was done thrice, and the vessel was taken up again to heaven.

¹⁹ While Peter was musing on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men seek thee.

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour, and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, 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.

⁸ And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, having been a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked. ⁹ This man heard Paul speaking; who fixing his eyes upon him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

²³ And when they had ordained them presbyters in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

¹⁸ And this she did for many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out of her. And he came out the same hour.

¹⁸ Then some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers incountered him: and some said, What would this babler say? Others, he seemeth to be a proclaimer of strange gods; because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection.

¹¹ And frequently punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities. ¹² Whereupon as I was going to Damascus, ¹³ with authority and commission from the chief priests, At mid-day, O king, I saw in the way, a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round me and them that journeyed with me. ¹⁴ And when we were all fallen down to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goads.

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,

⁹ But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwell in you. And if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

¹³ For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the flesh, ye shall live.

²¹ But as it is written, They to whom he was not spoken of shall see; and they that have not heard, shall understand.

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them.

²³ all are yours, And ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

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.

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.

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 Therefore I give you to know, that as no one speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus accursed; so no one can say, Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

¹ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. ² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

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

⁴ For from much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that ye might be grieved, but that ye might know the abundant love which I have toward you.

⁷ And if the ministration of death engraven in letters on stones was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly on the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face, which was to be abolished: Shall not rather the ministration of the Spirit be glorious? ⁸ For if the ministration of condemnation was glory, ⁹ much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. ¹⁰ For even that which was made glorious, had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excelleth.

³ Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed, But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God,

⁵ in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

⁷ Do ye look at the outward appearance of things? If any man be confident, that he is Christ's, let him again think this of himself, that as he is Christ's, so we also are Christ's.

²⁷ In labour and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

⁸ Concerning this, I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

¹ I am coming to you this third time: every word shall be established by the mouth of two or three witnesses.

¹¹ Finally, brethren, farewel: be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

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

¹⁵ For I bear you witness, that, if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes, and have given them to me.

¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ¹⁵ But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed ye be not consumed one of another.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, fidelity,

²⁴ And they that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires.

⁸ For by grace ye are saved through faith; and this not of yourselves:

² With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, 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; ⁵ One Lord, one faith, one baptism: ⁶ One God, and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in all.

²⁹ Let no corrupt discourse proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good, to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking be put away from you with all malice. ³² And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted; forgiving one another; as God also for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

¹⁸ which is the word of God, Praying alway by the Spirit with all prayer and supplication, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

¹⁰ That ye may try the things that are excellent, that ye may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,

¹⁸ What then? still every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

²³ For I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, for it is far better.

²⁷ Only let your behaviour be worthy the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear concerning you, that ye stand fast, in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,

²⁹ This also is of God. For to you it is given, with regard to Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him:

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, ² that ye think the same thing, having the same love, being of one soul, of one mind. ³ Do nothing through strife or vain-glory, but in lowliness of mind, esteem each the others better than themselves.

³ Do nothing through strife or vain-glory, but in lowliness of mind, esteem each the others better than themselves. ⁴ Look not every one at his own things, but every one also at the things of others. ⁵ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, ⁶ Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God;

⁶ Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God; ⁷ Yet emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

⁷ Yet emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.

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

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

⁸ He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man but God; who hath also given you his Holy Spirit.

¹³ and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you, And to esteem them very highly in love for their works sake, and be at peace among yourselves.

³ We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth.

⁶ Seeing it is a righteous thing with God, to recompence affliction to them that afflict you. ⁷ And to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels, ⁸ In flaming fire, taking vengeance on them who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power,

⁹ Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power,

¹¹ To this end we pray always for you, that our God would make you worthy of this calling, and fulfill in you all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power;

¹⁴ I counsel therefore the younger women to marry, bear children, guide the family, give no occasion of reproach to the adversary.

⁴ Longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

¹² If we suffer, we shall also reign with 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.

¹² Teaching us, that, having renounced ungodliness and all wordly desires, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present world,

¹ Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

⁹ But we see Jesus crowned with glory and honour, for the suffering of death, who was made a little lower than the angels, that by the grace of God he might taste death for every man.

¹⁰ Therefore I was grieved with that generation and said, They always err in their hearts, and they have not know my ways. ¹¹ So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. ¹² Take heed, brethren, left there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God:

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

¹ Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which easily besetteth us, and run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; 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. ³ For consider him that endured such contradiction from sinners against himself, lest ye be weary and faint in your minds.

¹⁴ Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

¹⁷ For ye know that afterward, even when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place for repentance, tho' he sought it diligently with tears.

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.

²⁰ For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

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.

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

¹⁵ And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

¹⁰ who prophesied of the grace of God toward you. ¹¹ Searching what, and what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when he testified before hand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow. 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.

¹ Wherefore laying aside all wickedness, and all guile, and dissimulation, and envies,

⁸ Finally, Be ye all of one mind, sympathizing with each other, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

³ Neither as lording over the heritage, but being examples to the flock.

⁸ for your adversary the devil, walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour:

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.

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:

² And many will follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of.

² Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know, when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

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.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God hath given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

²⁰ But we know that the Son of God is come; and he hath given us an understanding that we may know the true one; and we are in the true one, even in his Son Jesus Christ; this is the true God and eternal life.

⁹ I wrote to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not.

⁹ Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed concerning the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

¹³ Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

⁷ Behold he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they who have pierced him: and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of him.

¹³ like a son of man, cloathed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breast with a golden girdle. ¹⁴ His head and hair were white as white wool, as snow, ¹⁵ and his eyes as a flame of fire, And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace, and his voice as the voice of many waters. ¹⁶ And he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 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,

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,

²³ And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know, that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts; and I will give you, every man, according to your works.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held. ¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, thou Holy One and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell upon the earth?

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.

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.

¹² Therefore rejoice ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them: Wo to the earth and the sea; for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath; because he knoweth he hath but a little time.

¹⁰ He shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured unmixt into the cup of his indignation, and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, who worship the wild beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. They are worthy. ⁷ And I heard another from the altar, saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty; true and righteous are thy judgments.

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.

¹⁸ That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of chief captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those that sit on them, and the flesh of all men both bond and free, both small and great.

¹⁰ And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where both the wild beast and the false prophet are: and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat thereon, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

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.

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.
