³⁰ And the Pharisees and their scribes were murmuring against the disciples, saying, "Why are ye eating and drinking with the tax-collectors and sinners?"

¹² And it came to pass in those days, that He went out into the mountain to pray; and He was spending the whole night in prayer to God.

¹⁴ Simon whom He also called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

¹⁹ and all the multitude were seeking to touch Him; because power was coming forth from Him, and was healing them all.

⁴⁶ "But why do ye call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not the things that I say? ⁴⁷ "Every one who comes to Me, and hears My words, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like: ⁴⁸ he is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock; and, a flood coming, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it; because it was well built.

¹⁴ And, going forward, He touched the bier; and those bearing it stood still; and He said, "Young man, I say to you, Arise!"

¹⁶ And fear seized on all; and they were glorifying God, saying, "A great prophet was raised up among us," and "God did visit His people."

²⁹ And all the people, having heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John. ³⁰ But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God as to themselves, not having been immersed by him.

³⁰ But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God as to themselves, not having been immersed by him.

³⁴ The Son of Man has come, eating and drinking; and ye say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a wine-drinker, a Friend of tax-collectors and sinners!'

³⁴ The Son of Man has come, eating and drinking; and ye say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a wine-drinker, a Friend of tax-collectors and sinners!' ³⁵ And Wisdom was justified by all her children."

³⁹ But, seeing it, the Pharisee who invited Him, spake in himself, saying, "This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what sort of woman this is that is touching Him, because she is a sinner."

⁴⁸ And He said to her, "Your sins have been forgiven." ⁴⁹ And those reclining with Him began to say in themselves, "Who is This That even forgiveth sins!"

²⁴ And, coming near, they awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we perish!" And, having arisen, He rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and it became calm.

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked Him to depart from them; because they were being constrained by great fear. And He, entering into a boat, returned.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, "Who is it that touched Me?" And, when all were denying, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes are thronging Thee, and hard pressing Thee!" ⁴⁶ But Jesus said, "Some one touched Me; for I perceived that power had gone out from Me."

⁵⁴ But He, taking her by the hand, called, saying, "Maiden, arise."

⁵⁴ But He, taking her by the hand, called, saying, "Maiden, arise." ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned to her, and she rose up instantly; and He commanded that something should be given to her to eat.

⁵ And as many as do not receive you, going out from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."

³³ And it came to pass, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here; and let us make three tents; one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elijah;" not knowing what he was saying.

⁴⁹ And John, answering, said, "Master, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name; and we forbade him, because he follows not with us."

⁵⁹ And He said to another, "Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, permit me, going away, first to bury my father." ⁶⁰ And He said, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but, going, publish abroad the Kingdom of God." ⁶¹ And another said, "I will follow Thee, Lord; but first permit me to bid adieu to those within my house." ⁶² And Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to a plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."

¹ And it came to pass, as He was in a certain place praying, that, when He ceased, one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."

⁵² "Woe to you lawyers; because ye took away the Key of Knowledge; ye yourselves entered not in, and those who were entering ye hindered." ⁵³ And, when He went forth thence, the scribes and Pharisees began vehemently to press upon Him, and to urge Him to speak concerning many things; ⁵⁴ lying in wait for Him, to catch something out of His mouth.

¹ In the meantime, the vast multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread one upon another, He began to say to His disciples, first, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

¹³ And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and was glorifying God.

²⁵ Now there were journeying with Him great multitudes; and, turning, He said to them,

¹ Now all the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to Him to hear Him.

¹ Now all the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to Him to hear Him. ² And both the scribes and the Pharisees were murmuring, saying, "This Man receiveth sinners and eateth with them!"

² And both the scribes and the Pharisees were murmuring, saying, "This Man receiveth sinners and eateth with them!"

⁷ I say to you, that so there will be joy in Heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.

¹⁰ So, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents."

¹² And, as He was entering into a certain village, there met Him ten leprous men, who stood afar off; ¹³ and they lifted up their voice, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

¹³ and they lifted up their voice, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" ¹⁴ And, when He saw them, He said to them, "Going your way, show yourselves to the priests." And it came to pass that, as they went, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ And one of them, seeing that he was cleansed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice, ¹⁶ and fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him; and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁶ and fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him; and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus, answering, said, "Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were none found, returning to give glory to God, except this stranger?"

²² And He said to the disciples, "There will come days, when ye will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye will not see it.

¹⁰ Two men went up into the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-collector. ¹¹ The Pharisee, having taken his stand, was praying these things with himself: 'God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-collector!

¹¹ The Pharisee, having taken his stand, was praying these things with himself: 'God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-collector! ¹² I fast twice on the Sabbath; I give a tenth of all that I acquire.'

¹² I fast twice on the Sabbath; I give a tenth of all that I acquire.' ¹³ "But the tax-collector, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but was smiting his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!' ¹⁴ I say to you, this man went down justified to his house, rather than the other; because every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted."

²² And Jesus, hearing it said to him, "Yet one thing is lacking to you; sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me."

²⁸ And Peter said, "Behold, having left our possessions, we followed Thee." ²⁹ And He said to them, "Verily I say to you there is no one who left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children for the sake of the Kingdom of God, ³⁰ who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the coming age eternal life."

⁴³ And instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God. And all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.

⁷ And, seeing it, they were all murmuring, saying, "He went in to be guest with a sinful man!"

¹⁰ for the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which is lost."

⁴⁷ who devour the houses of widows; and, for a pretense, make long prayers. These shall receive greater condemnation."

¹⁷ And He said to them, "What words are these which ye are exchanging one with another, as ye walk?" And they stood still, with sad faces. ¹⁸ And one of them, Cleopas by name, said to Him, "Art Thou only a Stranger in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things that came to pass there in these days?" ¹⁹ And He said to them, "What things?" And they said to Him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a Prophet, mighty in deed and word, before God and all the people: ²⁰ and how the high priests and our rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and crucified Him. ²¹ But we were hoping that it was He Who was about to redeem Israel; yea, indeed, and besides all these things, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.

³⁸ And He said to them, "Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

³⁵ Again, on the morrow, John was standing, and two of his disciples;

⁴¹ He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, "We have found the Messiah," (which, being translated, is Christ). ⁴² He led him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said, "You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Cephas," (which is translated Peter). ⁴³ On the morrow, He wished to go forth into Galilee; and He findeth Philip, and saith to him, "Follow Me."

⁵ His mother says to the servants, "Whatsoever He saith to you, do."

²⁵ and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for He Himself knew what was in man,

¹³ And no one has ascended into Heaven, but He Who descended out of Heaven—the Son of Man [Who is in Heaven].

²¹ but he that does the truth comes to the Light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God."

²⁵ There arose, therefore, a question, on the part of John's disciples with a Jew, about purification.

²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bride-groom who stands and hears him greatly rejoices because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy, therefore, has been made full.

⁵⁰ Jesus saith to him, "Go your way; your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spake to him, and went his way. ⁵¹ And, as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son was living. ⁵² He inquired of them, therefore, the hour when he began to mend. They said, therefore, to him, "Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him." ⁵³ The father, therefore, knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives;" and he himself believed, and his whole house.

⁵ And a certain man was there, who had been for thirty-eight years in his infirmity. ⁶ Jesus, seeing this man lying, and knowing that already for a long time he had been thus, saith to him, "Do you wish to be made well?"

⁸ Jesus saith to him, "Rise, take up your bed, and walk." ⁹ And straightway the man became well, and took up his bed, and was walking. And it was the sabbath on that day. ¹⁰ The Jews, therefore, said to him who had been cured, "It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed." ¹¹ But he answered them, "He Who made me well, the Same said to me, 'Take up your bed and walk.' ¹² They asked him, "Who is the Man That said to you, 'Take up your bed, and walk?'"

¹⁴ Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple. And He said to him, "Behold, you have been made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall you."

²² For neither doth the Father judge any one, but all judgment He hath given to the Son; ²³ that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father Who sent Him.

²⁷ and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

² And a great multitude was following Him, because they were beholding the signs which He was doing on the sick.

¹⁵ Jesus, therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take Him by force, to make Him King, withdrew again into the mountain, Himself alone.

² And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and, having sat down, He was teaching them.

²⁴ Therefore, they called a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God: we know that this Man is a sinner."

³³ The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we stone Thee not, but for blasphemy, and because, Thou, being a Man, makest Thyself God!"

³² Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing Him, fell at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died."

⁴³ And, having spoken these words, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"

² They, therefore, made Him a supper there; and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with Him.

⁸ for the poor ye always have with you, but Me ye have not always."

²⁶ If any one serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am there will also My servant be. If anyone serve Me, him will My Father honor.

³³ Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye will seek Me; and, as I said to the Jews, 'Whither I go ye cannot come;' so now I say to you.

³ And, if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again, and will receive you to Myself; that, where I am, ye may be also. ⁴ And, whither I am going, ye know the way."

¹⁴ Ye are My friends, if ye do what I command you.

⁴ But these things I have spoken to you, that, when their hour shall come, ye may remember them, that I told you. And these things I said not to you from the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ And now I go to Him Who sent Me; and no one of you asks Me, 'Whither goest Thou?' ⁶ But, because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ But I tell you the truth: it is expedient for you that I go away; for, if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but, if I go, I will send Him to you,

¹⁶ A little while, and ye no longer behold Me; and again a little while, and ye will see Me." ¹⁷ Some of His disciples, therefore, said to one another, "What is this that He saith to us, 'A little while, and ye behold Me not; and again a little while, and ye will see Me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'" ¹⁸ They said, therefore, "What is this that He saith, 'A little while?'—we know not what He saith!" ¹⁹ Jesus knew that they wished to ask Him, and He said to them, "Do ye inquire among yourselves about this that I said, 'A little while, and ye behold Me not, and again a little while, and ye will see Me!' ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice: ye will be made sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman, when she is in travail, has sorrow, because her hour came; but, when she bears the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born into the world. ²² And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one takes away from you.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."

² even as Thou gavest Him authority over all flesh, that to all Whom Thou hast given Him He should give eternal life.

¹¹ And I am no longer in the world; and these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep, in Thine Own name, those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, even as we are. ¹² While I was with them, I was keeping, in Thy name, those Whom Thou hast given Me; and I guarded them, and no one of them perished, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ But now I come to Thee, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

²² And, having said this, He breathed upon them, and said to them, "Receive ye the Holy Spirit. ²³ Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained."

³ Simon Peter says to them, "I am going away to fish." They say to him, We also are coming with you." They went forth, and entered into a boat; and in that night they caught nothing.

⁶ And He said to there, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find." They cast it, therefore; and no longer were they able to draw it, for the multitude of the fishes.

⁶ And He said to there, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find." They cast it, therefore; and no longer were they able to draw it, for the multitude of the fishes. ⁷ That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, says to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his outer garment (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea. ⁸ But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits distant), dragging the net full of fishes. ⁹ When, therefore, they went out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish lying thereon, and bread. ¹⁰ Jesus saith to them, "Bring of the fishes which ye just now caught." ¹¹ Simon Peter, therefore, went aboard, and drew the net to the land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three; and, though there were so many, the net was not rent.

¹⁹ Now this He spake, signifying by what manner of death he would glorify God. And, having spoken this, He saith to him, "Follow Me." ²⁰ Peter, turning about, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also at the Supper leaned back on Jesus' breast, and said, "Lord, who is he that betrays Thee?" ²¹ Peter therefore, seeing him, says to Jesus, "Lord, and what will this man do?" ²² Jesus saith to him, "If I wish him to remain till I come, what is it to you? follow Me."

⁹ And, having said these things, while they were beholding, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him from their sight.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the Spirit was giving them to declare.

³⁸ And Peter said to them, "Repent, and be immersed each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, unto remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit;

⁴¹ Those, therefore, who gladly received his word, were immersed; and there were added to them on that day about three thousand souls;

⁶ But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, this I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk." ⁷ And, seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and instantly his feet and ankles were strengthened; ⁸ and, leaping forth, he stood, and was walking about; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

¹⁹ Repent ye, therefore, and turn, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord;

²¹ Whom Heaven must retain, until the times of restoration of all things of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the beginning.

²⁶ To you first, God, having raised up His Child, sent Him forth, blessing you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."

⁴ And many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand.

²¹ And they, when they had further threatened them, released them, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for what had taken place;

³⁰ by stretching forth Thy hand for healing; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Thy Holy Child Jesus."

³ But Peter said, "Ananias, why did Satan fill your heart, that you should lie to the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land?

¹¹ And great fear came upon the whole assembly, and upon all who heard these things. ¹² And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. ¹³ But of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them; but the people were magnifying them;

³¹ This One God exalted as a Prince and Savior, with His right hand, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

¹¹ Then they suborned men, who said, "We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and against God." ¹² And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the Scribes; and, coming upon him, they seized him, and brought him to the Sanhedrin, ¹³ and set up false witnesses, who said, "This man does not cease speaking words against this holy place, and the law;

¹¹ And the Lord said to him, "Arise, go to the street that is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus; for, behold, he is praying;

³³ And he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name, for eight years lying prostrate on a couch, who was paralyzed. ³⁴ And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth you; arise, and make your bed." And straightway he arose.

⁴⁰ But Peter, having put them all forth, and bowing his knees, prayed; and, turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, arise!" And she opened her eyes; and, seeing Peter, she sat up.

²⁵ And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius, meeting him, and falling at his feet, worshipped him. ²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up! I myself also am a man."

²³ who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, rejoiced, and was exhorting all that, with purpose of heart, they should cleave to the Lord;

²⁵ And he departed to Tarsus to seek for Saul;

² And, while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate now to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." ³ Then, having fasted and prayed, and having laid hands on them, they sent them away.

⁹ The same was hearing Paul speaking, who, looking intently on him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice, "Stand up on your feet, erect!" And he leaped up, and was walking about.

²³ And, having appointed elders for them in every assembly; and, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord on Whom they had believed.

³⁰ God, therefore, having overlooked the time of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent;

¹¹ And God kept performing special miracles through the hands of Paul;

²¹ fully testifying, both to Jews and Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

⁹ And there arose a great clamor, and some of the scribes of the party of the Pharisees, rising up, were fiercely contending, saying, "We find no evil in this man; but, if a spirit spake to him, or an angel —."

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.' ¹⁹ Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision; ²⁰ but I declared both to those in Damascus first, and in Jerusalem, and through all the region of Judea, and to the gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while in uncircumcision; that he might be father of all who believe while in uncircumcision, that the righteousness might be reckoned to them; ¹² and father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

³³ Who will bring an accusation against God's elect? It is God Who justifieth;

² For I testify for them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge; ³ for, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God;

² that ye receive her in the Lord, worthily of the saints, and assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she herself became a helper of many, and of myself. ³ Salute Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus; ⁴ who, for my soul, laid down their own necks; to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the gentiles;

⁹ I wrote to you, in my letter, not to keep company with fornicators; ¹⁰ not at all meaning, with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters; since ye ought, in that event, to go out of the world; ¹¹ but, as it is, I wrote not to keep company, if anyone, called a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—with such a one, not even to eat.

⁹ Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

⁵ Defraud not one the other, except by consent for a Season, that ye may have leisure for prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.

²⁷ If one of the unbelieving invites you to a feast, and ye wish to go, whatsoever is set before you eat, asking no question because of conscience.

¹² for now we see through a mirror, obscurely; but then, face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall fully know, even as I also was fully known.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, become steadfast, immovable, abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

¹⁰ And to whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also; for what I also have forgiven—if I have forgiven anything—for your sakes have I forgiven it in the person of Christ;

¹⁷ Wherefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, they have become new.

¹⁶ And what agreement has a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God, as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

²³ Whether any one inquires about Titus, he is my partner, and my fellow-worker in your behalf; or our brethren, they are the messengers of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.

² For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy; for I espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a pure virgin to Christ;

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

²⁴ And they were glorifying God in me.

⁴ and that was because of the false brethren secretly introduced, who, indeed, crept in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

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?"

⁹ but, after having known God, or rather having been known by God, how are ye turning back again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire to be in bondage again? ¹⁰ Ye are scrupulously observing days, and months, and seasons, and years! ¹¹ I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have toiled for you in vain.

¹ For freedom did Christ make us free; stand fast, therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage. ² Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that, if ye be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. ³ And I testify again to every man who is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. ⁴ Ye were separated from Christ, whoever of you are being justified by law; ye fell out of grace; ⁵ for we, in the Spirit, wait, by faith, for the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

² Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

⁹ And, in doing what is noble, let us not grow weary; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

¹³ For neither do those themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. ¹⁴ But it could not be that I should glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has become crucified to me, and I to the world.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the assembly, and delivered Himself up for it, ²⁶ that He might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of the water in the word, ²⁷ that He might present to Himself the assembly, glorious, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it may be holy and without blemish.

⁵ circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; ⁶ as to zeal, persecuting the assembly: as to the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. ⁷ But what things were gain to me, these I accounted loss for Christ.

⁷ But what things were gain to me, these I accounted loss for Christ. ⁸ Nay, more, I even account all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I suffered the loss of all things, and account them refuse, that I may gain Christ.

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.

¹⁹ and not holding fast the Head from Whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God. ²⁰ If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as if living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to decrees, ²¹ "Handle not, taste not, touch not," ²² (which are all for destruction in the using), according to the commandments and teachings of men? ²³ Which things, having, indeed, a show of wisdom, in will-worship, humility, and severe treatment of the body, are not of any value, against the indulgence of the flesh.

¹³ (bearing with one another, and freely forgiving one another, if any one have a complaint against any; even as the Lord freely forgave you, so also do ye):

¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief; ¹⁶ but for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me, as chief, Christ Jesus might show forth all His longsuffering for an example to those about to believe on Him unto eternal life.

⁸ for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which is present and that to come.

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

⁷ Let us rejoice, and exult, and give the glory to Him; because the marriage of the Lamb came, and His wife made herself ready." ⁸ And it was given to her that she should clothe herself in fine linen, bright, pure; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. ⁹ And he says to me, "Write, Happy are those who have been called to the marriage supper of the Lamb."
