1 Timothy 5 Cross References - Worrell

¹ Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men, as brethren: ² the elder women, as mothers: younger, as sisters, in all purity. ³ Honor widows who are widows indeed. ⁴ But, if any widow has children or grand-children, let them learn first to show regard to their own family, and to make returns to their parents; for this is acceptable before God. ⁵ Now she that is really a widow, and left alone, has set her hope on God, and continues in supplications and prayers, night and day. ⁶ But she who lives in pleasure, though living, has died. ⁷ And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. ⁸ But, if any one provides not for his own, and especially for his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. ⁹ Let a widow be enrolled, when she has become not less than sixty years old, having been a wife of one man, ¹⁰ noted for good works; if she nourished children, if she used hospitality, if she washed the saints' feet, if she relieved those in tribulation, if she diligently followed every good work. ¹¹ But younger widows refuse; for, when they grow wanton against Christ, they wish to marry, ¹² having condemnation, because they set aside their first faith. ¹³ And, at the same time, they learn to be idle, going around from house to house, and not only idle, but tattlers also and busy-bodies, speaking things which they ought not. ¹⁴ I desire, therefore, that younger widows marry, bear children, rule a house-hold, give no occasion to the adversary for reproach; ¹⁵ for already some turned aside after Satan. ¹⁶ If any believing woman has widows, let her relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, in order that it may relieve those who are really widows. ¹⁷ Let elders who preside well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in word and teaching. ¹⁸ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox while threshing," and "The laborer is worthy of his wages." ¹⁹ Against an elder receive not an accusation, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses. ²⁰ Those who sin reprove before all, that the rest also may have fear. ²¹ I solemnly charge you before God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. ²² Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be partaker of other men's sins. Keep yourself pure. ²³ Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent infirmities. ²⁴ Some men's sins are openly manifest, going before to judgment; and some men also they follow after. ²⁵ In like manner also the works that are good are openly manifest; and those that are otherwise can not be hid.

¹⁰ Then Jesus saith to him, "Depart, Satan; for it has been written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.'"

And, behold, a certain disciple was there, Timothy by name, son of a believing Jewish woman, but of a Grecian father; ² who was well reported of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium; ³ this one Paul wished to go forth with him; and, taking him, he circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

¹⁴ And a certain woman, Lydia by name, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, was listening, whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul. ¹⁵ And, when she was immersed, and her household, she besought us, saying, "If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, abide there."

³⁰ and from among yourselves will men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

² And, he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Seeing that, through you, we enjoy great peace, and reforms accrue to this nation through your forethought, ³ in every way and everywhere; we welcome it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ "But, that I detain you no longer, I pray you to hear us briefly in your clemency. ⁵ For, finding this man a plague, and stirring up insurrections among the Jews throughout the inhabited earth, and a ring-leader of the sect of the Nazarenes; ⁶ who also attempted to desecrate the temple; whom also we seized.— ⁷ [But the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, commanding his accusers to come before you;] ⁸ from whom you will be able, after having examined him yourself, to obtain full knowledge of all these things of which we accuse him." ⁹ And the Jews also assented, affirming that these things were so. ¹⁰ And Paul answered, the governor having beckoned to him to speak: "Knowing that you, for many years, have been a judge to this nation, cheerfully do I make defense as to the things concerning myself; ¹¹ since you are able clearly to know that there are not more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship; ¹² and neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any one, or causing a stirring up of a multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city; ¹³ nor are they able to prove to you the things of which they are now accusing me.

¹⁶ to whom I made answer, It is not a custom with Romans to grant as a favor any man, before the accused has the accuser face to face, and has opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge laid against him.

⁷ unto which promise our twelve-tribed nation, earnestly serving day and night, is hoping to attain; concerning which hope, O King, I am being accused by Jews.

¹⁰ who also honored us with many honors; and, when we were setting sail, they placed on board the things suited to our needs.

⁵ through Whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations for His name's sake;

¹² that is, to be comforted together among you through our mutual faith, both yours and mine.

²⁰ For His invisible things, since the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being perceived by the things that are made, even His everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: ²¹ because, having known God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor did they give thanks; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

³ For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness."

¹⁷ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose did I raise you up, that I might show forth My power in you, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth."

¹¹ For the Scripture says, "Whosoever believes on Him shall not be put to shame."

² God did not cast off His people whom He foreknew. Or know ye not what the Scripture says of Elijah? how he pleads with God against Israel:

⁸ or he that exhorts, in his exhortation; he that imparts, let him do it with liberality; he that presides, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

¹³ communicating to the necessities of the saints; cultivating hospitality.

⁷ Render to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

¹³ Let us not, therefore, judge one another any more; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block, or an occasion of falling, in a brother's way.

²⁷ Indeed, they were well pleased, and their debtors they are; for, if the gentiles were partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also to minister to them in carnal things.

¹² Salute Triphaena and Triphosa, who labor in the Lord. Salute Persis the beloved, who labored much in the Lord.

⁹ For we are God's fellow-workers; ye are God's husbandry, God's building.

⁸ Now I say to the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for them, if they remain even as I am. ⁹ But, if they have not continency let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn. ¹⁰ And to the married I give command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife depart not from her husband; ¹¹ but if she even depart, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled to her husband; and that the husband leave not his wife.

³² But I wish you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

³⁴ and has become divided. And the unmarried woman and the virgin is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that is married is anxious for the things of the world, that she may please her husband.

³⁹ A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but, if her husband fall asleep, she is at liberty to he married to whom she will: only in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But she is happier, if she abides as she is, according to my judgment; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

⁵ Have we no right to lead about a sister as our wife, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? ⁶ Or have only I and Barnabas no right to give up working? ⁷ Who ever serves as a soldier at his own charges; Who plants a vineyard, and eats not of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock?

⁷ Who ever serves as a soldier at his own charges; Who plants a vineyard, and eats not of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock? ⁸ Do I speak these things after the manner of man? Or does not the law also say the same?

⁸ Do I speak these things after the manner of man? Or does not the law also say the same? ⁹ For in the law of Moses it has been written, "You shall not muzzle an ox while treading out the grain." Doth God care for the oxen?

⁹ For in the law of Moses it has been written, "You shall not muzzle an ox while treading out the grain." Doth God care for the oxen? ¹⁰ Or doth He say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written; because he that plows ought to plow in hope; and he that threshes ought to thresh in hope of partaking.

¹⁰ Or doth He say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written; because he that plows ought to plow in hope; and he that threshes ought to thresh in hope of partaking. ¹¹ If we sowed for you spiritual things, is it a great matter, if we shall reap your carnal things? ¹² If others partake of this authority over you, do not we still more? But we used not this right; but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Gospel of Christ. ¹³ Know ye not that those who are occupied upon sacred things eat of the things of the temple? and that those who wait at the altar partake with the altar? ¹⁴ Even so did the Lord ordain, that those who proclaim the Gospel should live by the Gospel.

¹⁴ Even so did the Lord ordain, that those who proclaim the Gospel should live by the Gospel.

³⁴ If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that ye come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.

¹⁰ But by God's grace I am what I am; and His grace which was bestowed upon me did not prove vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

¹⁶ that ye also submit yourselves to such, and to every one who is laboring with us and toiling.

¹⁵ because we are to God a sweet savor of Christ, in those who are being saved, and in those who are perishing; ¹⁶ to the one class a savor of death unto death, and to the other a savor of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

¹⁴ For the love of Christ is constraining us; having judged this, that One died for all; consequently, they all died: ¹⁵ and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to Him Who died for them, and rose again. ¹⁶ Wherefore, we henceforth know no one according to the flesh; even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now no longer do we know Him thus.

¹ And, working together with Him, we also entreat you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain

¹⁵ And what concord of Christ is there with Belial? or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?

¹² But what I am doing, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion from those desiring occasion, that wherein they glory they may be found even as we.

¹⁴ Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you; for I seek not yours, but you; for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

¹ This is the third time I am coming to you. At the mouth of two witnesses, and of three, shall every word be established.

⁶ I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from Him Who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different Gospel,

¹¹ But, when Cephas came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was blameworthy; ¹² for, before certain ones came from James, he was eating with the gentiles; but, when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision. ¹³ And the rest of the Jews also dissembled with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. ¹⁴ But, when I saw that they were not walking uprightly according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Cephas in presence of them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as do the gentiles, and not as the Jews, how do you compel the gentiles to live as do the Jews?"

⁸ And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles through faith, proclaimed beforehand the Gospel to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed."

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strifes, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, ²¹ envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, as I also said before, that those practicing such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, continence; against such there is no law.

¹ Brethren, even if a man be caught in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness; considering yourself, lest you also be tempted.

⁶ But let him who is being taught in the word share with him who is teaching, in all good things.

¹⁰ So, then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, but especially to those of the household of the faith.

¹ You also did He make alive, when ye were dead in your trespasses and sins,

⁵ even when we were dead in our offenses, made us alive with Christ (by grace ye have been saved),

¹⁰ for we are His workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God before prepared, that we should walk in them.

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;

¹⁴ Wherefore, He saith: "Awake, you who are sleeping; and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you!"

¹⁸ And be not drunken with wine, in which is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;

¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right. ² "Honor your father and mother" (which, indeed, is the first commandment with a promise), ³ "that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth."

¹⁸ with all prayer and supplication praying at every opportunity in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹⁶ holding forth the word of life, for an occasion of glorying to me at the day of Christ, that I ran not in vain, neither labored in vain.

²⁹ Receive him, therefore, in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor;

¹⁸ For many are walking, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ. ¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who are thinking of earthly things.

³ Yea, I request you also, true yoke-fellow, help these women, who, indeed, labored with me in the Gospel, with Clement also, and my remaining fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are righteous, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

¹⁰ to walk worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God;

¹³ and you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, did He make alive with Him: having freely forgiven us all our trespasses;

⁶ nor seeking glory of men, neither from you, nor from others; though able to be in authority, as apostles of Christ.

¹² And we beseech you, brethren, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; ¹³ and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

²² Abstain from every form of evil.

²⁷ I adjure you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brethren.

⁶ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the instruction which ye received from us. ⁷ For ye yourselves know that ye should imitate us; because we were not disorderly among you; ⁸ nor did we eat any one's bread, gratuitously: but, in labor and toil, working night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you; ⁹ not because we have not authority, but that we might give ourselves as a model to you, that ye might imitate us. ¹⁰ For, even when we were with you, this we commanded you, "If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat." ¹¹ For we hear of some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, who work not at all, but are busybodies.

³ As I exhorted you to continue in Ephesus, when I was journeying into Macedonia, that you might charge certain ones not to teach a different doctrine,

²⁰ of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered up to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

³ This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

⁸ I desire, therefore, that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing;

¹⁰ but (which becomes women professing godliness) through good works.

² It is needful, therefore, that the bishop be irreproachable, a husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, hospitable, apt to teach, ³ not given to wine, not a striker, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,

⁵ (but, if one knows not how to preside over his own house, how will he take care of an assembly of God?); ⁶ not a novice; lest, being puffed up, he fall into condemnation of the Devil. ⁷ And it is needful also that he have an honorable testimony from those without, lest he fall into reproach and a snare of the Devil. ⁸ It is needful that deacons, in like manner, be grave, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy of base gain;

¹⁰ But let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, being without reproach.

¹² Let deacons be husbands of one wife, presiding well over their own children and their own houses.

³ forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods, which God created for reception with thanksgiving by those who believe and have full knowledge of the truth. ⁴ Because every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, when it is received with thanksgiving;

⁶ Suggesting these things to the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good teaching which you have strictly followed;

¹⁰ For to this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, Who is Savior of all men, especially of believers. ¹¹ These things command and teach. ¹² Let no one despise your youth; but become a model for believers, in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

¹⁴ Neglect not the gift that is in you, which was given you through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the eldership.

¹⁶ Take heed to yourself, and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

² the elder women, as mothers: younger, as sisters, in all purity. ³ Honor widows who are widows indeed.

³ Honor widows who are widows indeed.

³ Honor widows who are widows indeed. ⁴ But, if any widow has children or grand-children, let them learn first to show regard to their own family, and to make returns to their parents; for this is acceptable before God.

⁴ But, if any widow has children or grand-children, let them learn first to show regard to their own family, and to make returns to their parents; for this is acceptable before God. ⁵ Now she that is really a widow, and left alone, has set her hope on God, and continues in supplications and prayers, night and day.

⁸ But, if any one provides not for his own, and especially for his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. ⁹ Let a widow be enrolled, when she has become not less than sixty years old, having been a wife of one man,

⁹ Let a widow be enrolled, when she has become not less than sixty years old, having been a wife of one man, ¹⁰ noted for good works; if she nourished children, if she used hospitality, if she washed the saints' feet, if she relieved those in tribulation, if she diligently followed every good work. ¹¹ But younger widows refuse; for, when they grow wanton against Christ, they wish to marry,

¹¹ But younger widows refuse; for, when they grow wanton against Christ, they wish to marry,

¹⁴ I desire, therefore, that younger widows marry, bear children, rule a house-hold, give no occasion to the adversary for reproach;

¹⁶ If any believing woman has widows, let her relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, in order that it may relieve those who are really widows.

¹⁶ If any believing woman has widows, let her relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, in order that it may relieve those who are really widows. ¹⁷ Let elders who preside well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in word and teaching.

¹⁷ Let elders who preside well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in word and teaching.

¹⁹ Against an elder receive not an accusation, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses. ²⁰ Those who sin reprove before all, that the rest also may have fear.

²⁵ In like manner also the works that are good are openly manifest; and those that are otherwise can not be hid.

¹ Let as many as are slaves under a yoke account their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the teaching be not blasphemed.

¹³ I charge you before God who preserves alive all things, and Christ Jesus Who before Pontius Pilate testified a good confession,

¹⁷ Charge those who are rich in this present age, not to be high-minded, nor to have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, Who giveth us richly all things for enjoyment; ¹⁸ that they do good, that they be rich in good works, free to impart, liberal;

⁵ having a remembrance of the unfeigned faith which is in you; which, indeed, dwelt first in your grand-mother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and, I have become persuaded, in you also. ⁶ For which cause, I put you in remembrance that you stir into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of hands.

¹⁵ You know this, that all in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

² And the things which you heard from me, through many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who will be competent to teach others also.

⁶ The toiling husbandman must first partake of the fruits.

¹⁴ Of these things put them in remembrance, solemnly charging them before God, that they engage not in word-battles to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

¹⁸ who erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and are overthrowing the faith of some.

²¹ If, therefore, one fully purify himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, serviceable to the Master, prepared for every good work. ²² But flee youthful desires; and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart.

²⁴ now a servant of the Lord must not engage in strife, but should be gentle towards all, apt in teaching, patient of wrong, ²⁵ in meekness correcting those opposing themselves, if peradventure God should give them repentance to a full knowledge of the truth,

⁵ holding a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from these also turn away.

¹⁵ and that, from a babe, you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith that is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly furnished for every good work.

¹ I charge you before God, and Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His Kingdom, ² preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching.

¹⁰ for Demas forsook me, having loved this present age, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens, to Galatia; Titus, to Dalmatia.

⁵ For this cause I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;

⁵ For this cause I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you; ⁶ if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children not in accusation of rioting, or unruly.

⁶ if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children not in accusation of rioting, or unruly.

⁶ if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children not in accusation of rioting, or unruly. ⁷ For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain;

⁷ For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain; ⁸ but hospitable, a lover of good, sober-minded, righteous, pious, temperate; ⁹ holding fast the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the healthful doctrine, and to convict those who contradict.

¹¹ whom it is needful to reduce to silence: who, indeed, are overthrowing whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of base gain.

¹³ This testimony is true. For which cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

¹⁶ They profess to know God; but by their works they deny Him; being abominable, and disobedient, and for every good work worthless.

² that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience; ³ that aged women, in like manner, be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

⁵ to be sober, pure, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. ⁶ The younger men, in like manner, exhort to be sober-minded; ⁷ in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in teaching, showing incorruptness, gravity, ⁸ sound speech not to be condemned; that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning us.

¹⁴ who gave Himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a special people, zealous of good works. ¹⁵ These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

¹ Remind them to submit to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work;

⁸ Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I will that you affirm confidently, that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

¹⁴ And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary wants, that they may not be unfruitful.

⁹ yet for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul an aged man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus: ¹⁰ I beseech you for my child, whom I begat in my bonds, Onesimus,

² of the teaching of immersions, and laying on of hands, of a resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

²⁴ and let us consider one another, to incite to love and good works;

²⁸ Anyone, having set aside Moses' law, dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses;

² Do not forget to show love for strangers; for thereby some entertained angels unawares.

⁴ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

⁷ Remember those who are your leaders, who spake to you the word of God; and, considering the issue of whose manner of life, imitate their faith.

¹⁷ Obey those who are your leaders, and submit to them; for they watch in behalf of your souls, as those who are to give an account; that they may do this with joy, and not with sighing; for this would be unprofitable for you.

²¹ make you perfect in every good thing to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be the glory forever. Amen.

²⁴ Salute all those who are your leaders, and all the saints. Those from Italy salute you.

²⁷ A religion, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

¹ My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. ² For, if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in splendid apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile apparel; ³ and ye show regard to him who is wearing the splendid apparel, and say, "Sit here in a good place"; and say to the poor man, "Stand, or sit under my footstool"; ⁴ do ye not make a distinction among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

¹ My brethren, become not many of you teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater judgment.

¹⁰ Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing! My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, mild, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.

⁵ Or do ye think that the Scripture says in vain, "The spirit that dwells in us has jealous longings?"

⁵ Ye lived luxuriously on the earth, and rioted in pleasure; ye nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.

¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? let him call for the elders of the assembly; and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Lord;

¹² having your conduct seemly among the gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may, from your good works which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹⁷ Honor all men; love the brotherhood; fear God; honor the king.

⁵ For thus, in former times, the holy women also, who hoped in God, were wont to adorn themselves, submitting themselves to their own husbands;

⁷ Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with them according to knowledge, assigning honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.

⁹ being hospitable to one another, without murmuring;

¹⁴ If ye are reproached in Christ's name, happy are ye, because the Spirit of glory and that of God rests upon you. ¹⁵ For let no one of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in other men's matters;

¹⁵ For let no one of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in other men's matters;

¹⁷ Because it is the time for judgment to begin at the house of God; and, if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the Gospel of God?

¹ The elders, therefore, I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of Christ's sufferings, also a partaker of the glory about to be revealed;

⁵ Likewise, ye younger, be subject to the elder; yea, all of you gird on the lowly mind to serve one another; because "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the lowly." ⁶ Be humbled, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due season;

¹ But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there will be false teachers, who, indeed, will stealthily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master Who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction: ² and many will follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth will be defamed;

⁴ For, if God spared not angels that sinned, but, hurling them down to Hell, delivered them up to pits of darkness, kept for judgment;

¹⁸ For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice, in desires of the flesh, by their lasciviousness, those just escaping from those who live in error;

²⁰ For if, after having escaped the defilements of the world in a full knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but, having again become entangled with these, they are overcome, the last state has become worse with them than the first.

²⁰ For if, after having escaped the defilements of the world in a full knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but, having again become entangled with these, they are overcome, the last state has become worse with them than the first. ²¹ For it were better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

²¹ For it were better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² It has happened to them according to the true proverb, "A dog having returned to his own vomit"; and "A sow that was washed, to her wallowing in mire."

¹⁶ as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

¹⁹ They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest, that they are not all of us.

¹ The elder to an elect lady and her children whom I love in truth—and not I only, but also all who know the truth—

¹¹ for he that says to him, "Greeting," partakes in his evil works.

¹ The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.

¹⁰ On this account, if I come, I will remember his works which he is doing, prating against us with evil words; and not content with these things, he neither himself receives the brethren, and those wishing to do so he forbids, and casts them out of the assembly.

¹² To Demetrius testimony has been borne by all, and by the truth itself; and we also bear testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

⁴ For there crept in stealthily certain men, who of old were set forth for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of our God into lasciviousness; and denying the only Master and our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁴ For there crept in stealthily certain men, who of old were set forth for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of our God into lasciviousness; and denying the only Master and our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵ Now I wish to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who believed not. ⁶ And angels who kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, He hath kept in everlasting bonds, under darkness, for the judgment of the great day.

⁴ But I have it against you, that you left your first love. ⁵ Remember, therefore whence you have fallen, and repent, and do your first works; or else I am coming to you, and will remove your candlestick out of its place, if you do not repent.

¹³ "I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith, even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

¹ "And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write these things," saith He Who hath the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are living, and you are dead.

⁸ "I know your works. Behold, I have set before you a door opened, which no one can shut; because you have a little power, and kept My word, and did not deny My name.

⁴ and around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, arrayed in white garments, and on their heads crowns of gold.

⁷ And there was war in the heaven; Michael and his angels went forth to war with the dragon. And the dragon made war, and his angels; ⁸ and they prevailed not, nor was their place found any more in the heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole habitable earth; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole habitable earth; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which has been mingled undiluted in the cup of His anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and before the Lamb.

⁴ And I heard another voice out of Heaven saying, "Come forth out of her, my people, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues;

⁷ As much as she glorified herself, and lived luxuriously, so much torment and mourning give her; because she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am not a widow, and shall in nowise see mourning.'
