¹⁴ What profit [is it,] my Brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

¹² Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech.

⁸ For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which God hath given for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

²¹ I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak in this part: howbeit, whereinsoever any is bold, I speak foolishly, I [am] bold also.

⁴ [Neither] filthiness, [nor] foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

¹ PAUL an Apostle of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [a] brother, unto Philemon our beloved brother, and fellow labourer, ² And to Apphia our beloved sister, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in thy house: ³ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, ⁵ Hearing of thy faith and love, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus Christ, and toward all saints; ⁶ That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing, which is in you in Christ Jesus. ⁷ For we have had great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, Brother. ⁸ Wherefore though I might be much bold in Christ, to enjoyn thee that which is convenient, ⁹ Yet for loves sake I rather beseech [thee], being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner. ¹⁰ I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: ¹¹ Who in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me. ¹² Whom I have sent to thee: receive him, that is mine own bowels. ¹³ Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel. ¹⁴ But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. ¹⁵ For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldst receive him for ever; ¹⁶ Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? ¹⁷ If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. ¹⁸ If he hath wronged thee, or oweth ought, put that on mine account. ¹⁹ I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou oweth unto me even thine own self besides in the Lord. ²⁰ Yea, Brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. ²¹ Having confidence in thy obedience, I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. ²² But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. ²³ There salutes tee Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus. ²⁴ Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow labourers. ²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirits. Amen.

¹⁹ But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

¹¹ Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshy lusts, which war against the soul;

¹⁷ And one of the multitude answered him; Master, I have brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb Spirit:

¹⁵ For though you have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

¹⁹ My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

⁹ With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you, who shall make known unto you all things which [are] here,

² Unto Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: grace, mercy, peace from God the Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁴ To Titus [mine] own son after the common faith; Grace and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus our Saviour.

³⁰ And cast ye forth the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

²⁴ For this my son was dead, and is alive again;he [was] lost, and is now found. And they began to be merry.

³² It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again;was lost, and is found.

¹⁰ So likewise ye, when ye shall have done whatsoever I say, say ye, We are unprofitable servants: we have done what we ought to do.

¹² They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable, there is none that doeth good, no not one.

¹¹ Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

¹⁰ Who in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

¹⁴ For, if ye shall forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ¹⁵ But if ye shall not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses.

²¹ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? ²² Jesus said unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, until seventy times seven. ²³ Therefore the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who would take account of his servants. ²⁴ And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him who owed him ten thousand talents. ²⁵ But forasmuch as he had not to pay, the lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ But that servant fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay all. ²⁷ Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. ²⁸ But the same servant went out, and found one of his follow-servants, who owed him an hundred denarii, and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay that thou owest. ²⁹ And his fellow-servant fell down, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee. ³⁰ And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. ³¹ When therefore his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. ³² Then his lord, after that he had called him, said, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: ³³ Shouldst not thou also therefore have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had compassion on thee? ³⁴ And his Lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormenters, till he should pay that which was due. ³⁵ So like-wise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother.

²⁵ And when ye stand, praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: and your Father also, who is in heaven will forgive you [your] trespasses.

²⁰ And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

³² Be ye therefore kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven us.

¹⁷ I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part, they have supplied.

⁷ Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace,

³⁰ Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, exposing his life to danger to supply your lack of service toward me.

¹ PAUL an Apostle of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [a] brother, unto Philemon our beloved brother, and fellow labourer,

⁷ Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth and drinketh not the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of its milk?

¹⁷ For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed unto me.

²⁴ Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

¹² For if there be first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to that a man hath, not according to that he hath not.

⁵ Therefore I have thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, which had been promised before, that the same might be ready, as bounty, and not as covetousness.

⁷ Every man according as he purposeth in his heart; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

⁸ Wherefore though I might be much bold in Christ, to enjoyn thee that which is convenient, ⁹ Yet for loves sake I rather beseech [thee], being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner.

² Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight not by constraint, but willingly according to God, not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; ³ Neither as being lords over the clergy; but being ensamples to the flock.

²⁸ To do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your master, and all ye are brethren.

¹⁷ And Ananias went away and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord hath sent me, Jesus that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

²² For he that is called in the Lord, a servant, is the Lord's free-man: likewise also he that is called free, is Christ's servant.

²⁸ Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of the promise. ²⁹ But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him after the Spirit, even so [it is] now.

⁵ Servants, be obedient to them that are masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart; as unto Christ: ⁶ Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; ⁷ With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

²² Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.

² And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them], because they are brethren: but rather do [them] service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

¹ Wherefore, Holy Brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and high priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

²² Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth, unto unfeigned love of the brethren; love one another with the heart fervently: ²³ Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth.

¹ Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth him also that is begotten of him.

⁴⁰ He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

⁴⁸ But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? or who are my brethren? ⁴⁹ And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren. ⁵⁰ For whosoever does the will of my Father who is in the heavens, the same is my brother, and father, and mother.

⁵ And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

⁴⁰ And the King shall answer, and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, In as much as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.

¹⁵ And when she was baptized, and all her houshold, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to God, come into my house and abide [there.] And she constrained us.

²³ Whether for Titus, [he is] my partner, and fellow-helper concerning you: or for our brethren, [they are] the messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.

⁶ That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs; and of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ, by the gospel:

¹⁰ I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

¹² Whom I have sent to thee: receive him, that is mine own bowels.

¹⁴ For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the promise, which he hath promised to them that love him?

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

³ That which we have seen and heard, declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

¹ Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not you my work in the Lord? ² If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye.

²¹ The salutation of Paul with mine own hand. ²² If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, Maran-atha.

² Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men.

² Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

¹¹ Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

¹⁹ My brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; ²⁰ Let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

² For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but he who is made sorry by me?

⁴ Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great [is] my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in our manifold tribulation. ⁵ For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without fightings, within fears. ⁶ Nevertheless, God that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus: ⁷ And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.

⁸ For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all, in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

¹ If [there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies; ² Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be unanimous, having the same love, of one accord, of one mind.

¹ Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, [my] dearly beloved.

¹⁹ For what [is] our hope, or joy, or cron of rejoicing? [are] not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus, at his coming? ²⁰ For ye are our glory and joy.

⁷ Therefore, brethren, we are comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith: ⁸ For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoiced for your sakes before our God,

¹⁷ Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit your selves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account concerning you: that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you.

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

⁴ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

³ And I wrote this same thing onto you, lest when I came I should have sorrow upon sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is that of you all.

¹⁶ I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

²² And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence towards us.

¹⁰ I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you, shall bear [his] judgment, whosoever he be.

⁴ And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command.

¹¹ You also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift upon us by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on your behalf.

¹⁹ For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

²⁵ And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith: ²⁶ That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me, by my coming to you again.

²⁴ But I trust in the Lord, that I also myself shall come shortly.

²³ Know ye, that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

¹⁶ Confess therefore [your] sins one to another, pray one for another, that ye may be healed: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

¹² Having many things to write unto you, I would not do it with paper and ink; but I hope to be with you, and speak mouth to mouth, that your joy may be full.

¹⁴ But I hope I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak mouth to mouth, Peace [be] to thee. Our brethren salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

⁷ Salute Andronicus and Junias my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners who are of note among the apostles, who were in Christ Jesus before me.

¹² Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you; always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect, and fully assured in all the will of Christ,

¹³ Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga of Pamphylia: and John departed from them, and returned to Jerusalem.

³⁷ But Barnabas had a mind to take with them John, whose sirname was Mark. ³⁸ But Paul was not willing, saying, he would not take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work for which they were sent. ³⁹ But the contention was so sharp, that they departed asunder one from the other: Then Barnabas took Mark, and sailed to Cyprus.

²⁹ And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.

² And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we lanched, meaning to sail to the places of Asia, one Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

¹⁴ Luke the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.

¹⁰ For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica: Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. ¹¹ Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

¹ PAUL an Apostle of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [a] brother, unto Philemon our beloved brother, and fellow labourer, ² And to Apphia our beloved sister, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in thy house:

⁸ We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow-helpers to the church.

²⁰ And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.

²³ Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.

¹⁸ Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] in your spirit, Amen.

²² The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be] with us: Farewel in peace: Amen.
