²⁰ but that we write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from anything strangled, and from blood; ²¹ for Moses, from ancient generations, has in every city those preaching him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath."

⁴ Or, do you despise the riches of His kindness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God is leading you to repentance? ⁵ but, after your hardness and impenitent heart, you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

⁵ but, after your hardness and impenitent heart, you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ Who will render to every man according to his works; ⁷ to those who, by patience in well-doing, are seeking for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life;

⁷ to those who, by patience in well-doing, are seeking for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life; ⁸ but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there shall be wrath and indignation, ⁹ tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that works evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek; ¹⁰ but glory and honor and peace to every one who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek: ¹¹ for there is no respect of persons with God;

¹⁷ But, if you are called a Jew, and are resting upon the law, and are boasting in God,

²⁸ For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; nor is that circumcision, which is outward in flesh; ²⁹ but he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations; knowing that tribulation works out patience;

³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations; knowing that tribulation works out patience; ⁴ and patience, approval; and approval, hope;

²⁵ But, if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.

²⁷ And He Who searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

³² He Who spared not His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or perils or sword?

³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us.

⁶ But it is not as though the word of God has failed: for they are not all Israel, who are of Israel;

²² And what if God, willing to show forth His wrath and to make known His power, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction;

³² Wherefore? because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the Stone of stumbling;

⁹ And David says, "Let their table be a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them:

⁹ Let love be without hypocrisy; abhorring that which is evil; cleaving to that which is good;

¹² rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; persevering in prayer;

¹² So, then, each one of us shall give account concerning himself to God. 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.

²¹ It is good, neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby your brother stumbles.

⁴ For whatsoever things were written in former times were written for our instruction, that we through patience and through consolation of the Scriptures may have hope. ⁵ Now the God of patience and of consolation grant you to be of the same mind one with another, according to Christ Jesus:

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

²³ but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, a stumbling-block, and to the gentiles foolishness;

¹⁰ but to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things —even the deep things of God.

¹⁴ But a natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.

⁵ Wherefore, judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, Who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then will each one have his praise from God.

³ Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, then, things pertaining to this life? ⁴ If, then, ye have tribunals pertaining to this life, do ye set those to judge who are set at nought in the assembly?

¹³ Foods are for the stomach, and the stomach for foods; but God will bring to nought both this and these. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body; ¹⁴ and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up us through His power. ¹⁵ Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I, then, taking away the members of Christ, make them members of a harlot? It could not be! ¹⁶ Or know ye not that he who is united to the harlot is one body? For, "the two", He saith, "shall be one flesh"; ¹⁷ but he who is united to the Lord is one spirit. ¹⁸ Flee fornication. Every sin which a man commits is without the body; but he that commits adultery sins against his own body.

² but, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

⁴ concerning, therefore, the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but One. ⁵ For, even if there are things called gods, whether in heaven, or on earth (as there are gods many, and lords many); ⁶ yet to us there is One God, the Father, of Whom are all things, and we for Him; and One Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom are all things, and we through Him. ⁷ But this knowledge is not in all; but some, by familiarity with the idol even until now, eat it as an idol-sacrifice; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. ⁸ But food will not commend us to God; neither, if we eat not, are we lacking; nor, if we eat, do we abound. ⁹ But take heed, lest this liberty of yours become a stumbling-block to the weak. ¹⁰ For, if anyone sees you, who have knowledge, reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat the idol-sacrifices?

¹⁰ For, if anyone sees you, who have knowledge, reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat the idol-sacrifices? ¹¹ For he that is weak—the brother for whom Christ died—perishes by reason of your knowledge.

¹¹ For he that is weak—the brother for whom Christ died—perishes by reason of your knowledge. ¹² And thus, sinning against the brethren, and smiting their conscience which is weak, ye sin against Christ.

¹² And thus, sinning against the brethren, and smiting their conscience which is weak, ye sin against Christ. ¹³ Wherefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will in no wise eat flesh forevermore; that I cause not my brother to stumble.

²⁵ And every one who strives in the games exercises self restraint in all things; they, indeed, therefore, to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

¹⁸ Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

¹⁸ Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers of the altar? ¹⁹ What, then, do I say? that an idol-sacrifice is anything? or that an idol is anything?

¹⁹ What, then, do I say? that an idol-sacrifice is anything? or that an idol is anything? ²⁰ Nay, but I say that the things which the gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I do not wish you to become partakers with the demons.

²⁰ Nay, but I say that the things which the gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I do not wish you to become partakers with the demons. ²¹ Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

²¹ Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. ²² Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He? ²³ All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful, but not all things build up. ²⁴ Let no one seek his own, but each another's good. ²⁵ Whatsoever is sold in the market eat, asking no question because of conscience; ²⁶ for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. 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. ²⁸ But, if anyone says to you, "This is the remains of an idol-sacrifice." eat it not, for his sake that showed it, and because of conscience:

²⁸ But, if anyone says to you, "This is the remains of an idol-sacrifice." eat it not, for his sake that showed it, and because of conscience: ²⁹ conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience? ³⁰ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? ³¹ Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God,

²⁶ for, as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death, till He come.

⁴ Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are diversities of ministries, and the same Lord. ⁶ And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, Who worketh all things in all. ⁷ And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting. ⁸ For to one, indeed, is given through the Spirit a word of wisdom; and to another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; ⁹ to another, faith, in the same Spirit; and to another, gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; ¹⁰ and to another, workings of mighty deeds; and to another, prophecy; and to another, discerning of spirits; to another, various kinds of tongues; and to another, interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, distributing to each one, severally, even as He willeth. ¹² For, as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is the Christ;

¹ If I speak with tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. ² And, if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all the mysteries and all knowledge; and, if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing, ³ And, if I bestow in morsels all my goods; and, if I give my body to he burned, but have not love, I am profited nothing. ⁴ Love suffers long, is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not herself, is not puffed up, ⁵ behaves not unseemly, seeks not her own, is not provoked, takes no account of evil, ⁶ rejoices not at unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; ⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. ⁸ Love never fails; but whether there be prophecies, they will be done away; whether there be tongues, they will cease; whether there be knowledge, it will be done away.

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

¹¹ that we might not be over-reached by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

¹ Therefore, having this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not;

¹⁶ Wherefore, we faint not; but even if our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.

⁹ Wherefore, we also make it our aim—whether being at home or being from home—to be well-pleasing to Him. ¹⁰ For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done through the body, according to the things which he practiced, whether good or evil.

⁵ in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in toilings, in watchings, in fastings;

¹⁰ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

² that, in much trial of tribulation, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich.

¹⁵ not glorying beyond our measure in other men's labors; but, having hope that, as your faith increases, we shall be enlarged among you according to our limit to further abundance,

³ but I fear lest, by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and purity which is toward Christ.

¹³ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ; ¹⁴ and no wonder, for even Satan transforms himself into an angel of light! ¹⁵ It is no great thing, therefore, if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end will be according to their works.

²³ Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often;

⁴ that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, which it is not lawful for a man to speak.

²¹ lest, when I come again, my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of those who have heretofore sinned, and repented not of the uncleanness, and fornication and lasciviousness which they practiced.

⁷ which is not another; only there are some who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the Gospel of Christ.

⁴ Ye were separated from Christ, whoever of you are being justified by law; ye fell out of grace;

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

⁵ For each one shall bear his own load.

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

² in which ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the authority of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience;

¹⁴ that we may no longer be babes, billow-tossed, and carried about with every wind of teaching, in the sleight of men, in the craftiness suited to the artifice of error;

¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil; ¹² because to us the struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

¹² because to us the struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

¹⁷ And receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all discernment;

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.

¹³ Brethren, I do not account myself to have laid hold of it; but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forth to the things before. ¹⁴ I am pressing on toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let us, therefore, as many as are perfect, think this: and, if in anything ye think differently, even this God will reveal to you; ¹⁶ nevertheless, whereunto we advanced, by the same rule let us walk.

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.

¹¹ strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;

³ for ye died, and your life has been hid with Christ in God.

¹⁴ and over all these put on love, which is the uniting-bond of perfectness.

³ remembering, without ceasing, your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

⁹ For ye remember, brethren, our labor and toil; working night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you, we preached to you the Gospel of God.

⁴ For even when we were with you, we told you beforehand, "We are about to suffer tribulation"; even as also it came to pass, and ye know. ⁵ For this reason, I also, no longer enduring it, sent, that I might know your faith, lest by some means the tempter tempted you, and our labor should be in vain. ⁶ But, Timothy having just now come to us from you, and having brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us at all times, longing to see us, as we also to see you—

⁹ But concerning brotherly love, ye have no need that one write to you; for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another; ¹⁰ and, in fact, ye do it to all the brethren who are in all Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound yet more;

¹² And we beseech you, brethren, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

²¹ but prove all things, hold fast that which is good.

³ We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith is growing exceedingly, and the love of each one of you abounds toward one another;

⁶ since it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to those who cause you tribulation; ⁷ and to you who suffer tribulation, relief with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from Heaven with the angels of His power, in flaming fire,

⁸ And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth, and will bring to nought by the manifestation of His presence; ⁹ him whose coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and signs and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and in all deceit of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And, for this cause, God sendeth them a working of delusion, that they may believe the lie; ¹² that they all may be judged, who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

⁵ And the Lord guide your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

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;

¹³ But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing.

⁵ But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and of faith unfeigned;

¹³ though formerly I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I obtained mercy, because I, being ignorant, did it in unbelief;

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.

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.

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

¹⁸ that they do good, that they be rich in good works, free to impart, liberal;

¹³ Hold the pattern of healthful words which you heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

¹² if we endure, we shall also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;

¹⁹ Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God has been standing, having this seal, "The Lord knew those who are His:" and "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."

²⁵ in meekness correcting those opposing themselves, if peradventure God should give them repentance to a full knowledge of the truth, ²⁶ and they may return to soberness out of the snare of the Devil, having been taken captive by him in accordance with his will.

⁷ I have contended in the noble contest, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; ⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, will recompense to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those who have loved His appearing.

⁶ but Christ as a Son over His own house; Whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

¹² For the word of God is living, and effectual, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to a dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³ And there is no creature that is not manifest in His presence; but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him with Whom is our account. ¹⁴ Having, therefore, a great High Priest, Who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession;

¹⁰ for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the love which ye showed toward His name, in having ministered to the saints, and still ministering.

¹⁰ for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the love which ye showed toward His name, in having ministered to the saints, and still ministering. ¹¹ And we desire that each of you show forth the same diligence to the full assurance of the hope to the end; ¹² that ye may not become slothful, but imitators of those who, through faith and long-suffering, inherit the promises.

¹⁵ And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

²³ let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering (for faithful is He Who promised);

³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;

³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that, after having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

³⁸ "But My righteous one shall live by faith, and, if he draw back, My soul has no pleasure in him." ³⁹ But we are not of those who draw back to destruction; but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

¹ Therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us—having thrown off every encumbrance and the easily besetting sin—let us run with patience the race lying before us;

³ For consider Him Who hath endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye become weary, fainting in your souls. ⁴ Not yet did ye resist unto blood, contending against sin; ⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation which, indeed, reasons with you as with sons: "My son, do not lightly regard the chastening of the Lord; neither faint, when reproved by Him;

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

¹³ Therefore, let us go forth to Him without the camp, bearing His reproach;

³ knowing that the proving of your faith establishes patience. ⁴ And let patience have a perfect work; that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

¹² Happy is a man who endures temptation; because, when he becomes approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to those who love Him.

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren, did not God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love Him? ⁶ But ye dishonored the poor man! Do not the rich oppress you, and do they not drag you before the judgment-seats? ⁷ Do they not blaspheme the worthy name by which ye were called?

²⁰ But are you willing to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is worthless?

⁷ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth; being patient over it, until it receives the early and latter rain. ⁸ Be ye also patient; establish your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near. ⁹ Murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye be not judged: behold, The Judge has taken His stand before the doors! ¹⁰ Take, brethren, as an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets, who spake in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Behold, we pronounce those happy who endured: ye heard of the patience of Job; and ye saw the end of the Lord, that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

⁶ in which ye exult, though now, for a little while, if necessary, made sorrowful in manifold temptations; ⁷ that the proving of your faith—being much more precious than gold that perishes, but is proved through fire—may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

¹⁷ And, if ye call on Him as Father, Who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to each one's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear;

⁸ and "a stone of stumbling, and rock of offense"; who stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which also they were appointed.

²⁰ who were once disobedient, when the long-suffering of God was waiting in the days of Noah, while an ark was being prepared, entering into which, a few, that is, eight, souls were saved through water;

⁸ above all things, having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;

⁴ and, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye will obtain the unfading crown of glory.

⁸ Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, is going about, seeking whom he may devour;

⁶ and in knowledge, continence; and in continence, patience; and in patience, godliness; ⁷ and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

¹² Wherefore, I shall be always ready to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth. ¹³ And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you;

¹⁹ And we have the more sure prophetic word, to which ye do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the Morning Star arise in your hearts;

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; ³ and, in covetousness, will they, with feigned words, make merchandise of you; for whom the judgment from of old lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.

¹⁵ leaving the right way, they were led astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,

⁹ The Lord is not slow respecting the promise, as some account slowness; but He is long-suffering toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements, being intensely hot, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein shall be burned up.

¹⁵ And account the long-suffering of our Lord salvation; as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you;

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever.

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.

²¹ I did not write to you because ye know not the truth; but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth. ²² Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Anti-Christ, he that denies the Father and the Son.

²³ And this is the commandment, that we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

¹ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

⁴ because all that has been begotten of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. ⁵ And who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁵ And who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁹ Every one who leads forward, and abides not in the teaching of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and say not to him, "Greeting,"

³ Beloved, while giving all diligence to write to you of the common salvation, I was constrained to write to you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints. 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.

¹¹ Woe to them, because they went in the way of Cain, and rushed on in the error of Balsam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah!

²⁴ Now to Him Who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you without blemish, in gladness, before the presence of His glory,

⁷ Behold, He cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall lament over Him! Even so. Amen. ⁸ "I am the Alpha and the Omega," saith the Lord God, Who is, and Who was, and Who is coming, the Almighty. ⁹ I, John, your brother, and fellow-sharer in the tribulation, and kingdom, and patience in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

¹¹ saying, "What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven assemblies; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."

¹¹ saying, "What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven assemblies; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea." ¹² And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me; and, having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; ¹³ and, in the midst of the candlesticks, One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girded at the breasts with a golden girdle. ¹⁴ And His head and hair were white as white wool, as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; ¹⁵ and His feet like burnished brass, as if glowing in a furnace; and His voice as the voice of many waters; ¹⁶ and having in His right hand seven stars; and a sharp, two-edged sword proceeding out of His mouth; and His countenance was as the sun shining in his power. ¹⁷ And, when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead! And He laid His right hand on me, saying, "Fear not; I am the First and the Last, ¹⁸ and the Living One; and I was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore; and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

²⁰ the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of seven assemblies; and the seven candlesticks are seven assemblies."

¹ "To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write these things," saith He Who holdeth the seven stars in His right hand, He Who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks: ² "I know your works and your toil, and your patience, and that you cannot bear evil men; and you tried those who call themselves apostles, and are not, and found them false;

² "I know your works and your toil, and your patience, and that you cannot bear evil men; and you tried those who call themselves apostles, and are not, and found them false; ³ and you have patience, and did bear for My name's sake, and have not grown weary. ⁴ But I have it against you, that you left your first love.

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. ⁶ But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. ⁷ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God. ⁸ "And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write these things," saith the First and the Last, Who became dead, and lived: ⁹ "I know your tribulation, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

⁹ "I know your tribulation, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Fear not the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the Devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. ¹¹ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in nowise be hurt by the second death. ¹² "And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write these things," saith He Who hath the sharp, two-edged sword: 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.

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. ¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit fornication.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit fornication. ¹⁵ So you have also those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans, in like manner. ¹⁶ Repent, therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and will make war with them with the sword of My mouth. ¹⁷ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the Hidden Manna; and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knows, but he that receives it. ¹⁸ "And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write these things." saith the Son of God, Who hath His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished brass: ¹⁹ "I know your works, and your love, and faith, and ministry, and your patience; and your last works to be more than the first.

¹⁹ "I know your works, and your love, and faith, and ministry, and your patience; and your last works to be more than the first. ²⁰ But I have it against you, that you suffer the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess; and she teaches and seduces My servants to commit fornication, and to eat idol-sacrifices.

²⁰ But I have it against you, that you suffer the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess; and she teaches and seduces My servants to commit fornication, and to eat idol-sacrifices. ²¹ And I gave her time, that she might repent; and she is not willing to repent of her fornication.

²¹ And I gave her time, that she might repent; and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. ²² Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those committing adultery with her, into great tribulation, if they repent not of their works.

²⁴ But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who knew not the deep things of Satan, as they say, I cast on you no other burden; ²⁵ nevertheless, that which ye have, hold fast till I come. ²⁶ And he that overcomes, and he that keeps My works until the end, to him will I give authority over the nations; ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of earthenware are broken in pieces, as I also have received from My Father; ²⁸ and I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

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. ² Become watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your works complete before My God. ³ Remember, therefore, how you have received, and did hear; and keep it, and repent. If, therefore, you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

³ Remember, therefore, how you have received, and did hear; and keep it, and repent. If, therefore, you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

⁵ He that overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will in nowise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

⁵ He that overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will in nowise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. ⁶ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

⁶ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. ⁷ "And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write these things," saith He Who is holy, He Who is true, He Who hath the key of David, He Who openeth, and no one shall shut; and shutteth, and no one opens: 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.

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. ⁹ Behold, I give those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie—behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I loved you.

⁹ Behold, I give those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie—behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I loved you. ¹⁰ Because you kept the word of My patience. I also will keep you from the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole inhabited earth, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

¹⁰ Because you kept the word of My patience. I also will keep you from the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole inhabited earth, to try those who dwell upon the earth. ¹¹ I am coming speedily; hold fast that which you have, that no one take your crown.

¹¹ I am coming speedily; hold fast that which you have, that no one take your crown. ¹² He that overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God; and he shall in nowise go out any more: and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from My God, and My own New Name.

¹² He that overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God; and he shall in nowise go out any more: and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from My God, and My own New Name. ¹³ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. ¹⁴ "And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write these things," saith the Amen, the Faithful and the True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

¹⁴ "And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write these things," saith the Amen, the Faithful and the True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: ¹⁵ "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would you were cold or hot.

¹⁵ "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would you were cold or hot. ¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spew you out of My mouth. ¹⁷ Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing'; and do not know that you are the wretched one, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked!

¹⁷ Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing'; and do not know that you are the wretched one, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked! ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy of Me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see! ¹⁹ As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous, therefore, and repent.

²¹ He that overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with Me in My throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with My Father in His throne.

²¹ He that overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with Me in My throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with My Father in His throne. ²² He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

⁸ And I saw, and behold, a pale horse; and he that sat on him, his name was Death; and Hades was following with him. And there was given to them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

¹⁴ And I have said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are those who come out of the great tribulation; and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁰ And the third angel sounded; and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of the waters. ¹¹ And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many of the men died in consequence of the waters, because they were made bitter. ¹² And the fourth angel sounded; and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, that the third part of them might be darkened, and that the day might not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner.

²⁰ And the rest of the men, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship the demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk; ²¹ and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornications, nor of their thefts.

¹ And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

⁵ And she brought forth a man-child, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.

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 And I heard a great voice in Heaven, saying, "Now came the salvation, and the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ; because the accuser of our brethren was cast down, he who accused them before our God day and night; ¹¹ and they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they loved not their soul, even to death.

² And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet as of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority;

⁷ And it was given him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and there was given him authority over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation.

⁹ If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

¹⁴ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to those dwelling on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who has the stroke of the sword, and lived. ¹⁵ And it was given to him to give spirit to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as worship not the image of the beast should be killed. ¹⁶ And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead; ¹⁷ and that no one should be able to buy or sell, except him who has the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

³ And they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to learn the song, except the hundred and forty-four thousand, who had been purchased out of the earth.

¹² Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. ¹³ And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying, "Write: Happy are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth! Yea," saith the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them."

² And I saw as it were a glassy sea mingled with fire; and those who were victorious over the beast, and over his image, and over the number of his name, standing by the glassy sea, having harps of God.

⁹ And the men were scorched with great heat; and they blasphemed the name of God, Who hath the power over these plagues; and they repented not, to give Him glory.

¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of Heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their works.

² with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication."

³ because, in consequence of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, have all the nations fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich by the power of her luxury."

⁹ "And the kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they behold the smoke of her burning;

¹² And His eyes are as a flame of fire; and on His head are many diadems; having a name written which no one knows but Himself; ¹³ and He is clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood; and His name is called "THE WORD OF GOD."

¹⁵ And out of His mouth proceeds a sharp sword, that with it He may smite the nations, and He will govern them with a rod of iron; and He treadeth the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

¹⁸ that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains of thousands, and flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all, both of free and bond, and of small and great." ¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war with Him Who was sitting on the horse, and with His army. ²⁰ And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his presence, with which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image. The two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone. ²¹ And the rest were killed with the sword of Him Who was sitting on the horse, the sword that went forth out of His mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

²¹ And the rest were killed with the sword of Him Who was sitting on the horse, the sword that went forth out of His mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them; and judgment was given to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God; and such as worshiped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

⁶ Happy and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of the things that were written in the books, according to their works.

¹⁴ And Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire.

⁷ He that overcomes shall inherit these things; and I will be to him a God, and He will be to Me a son. ⁸ But, for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death."

² in the midst of its street. And on either side of the river, was a tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

⁵ And there will be night no more; and they need no lamp-light, nor light of the sun; because the Lord God will illuminate them, and they shall reign forever and ever.

⁷ And, behold, I come quickly! Happy is he that keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."

¹⁴ Happy are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. ¹⁵ Without are the dogs and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one loving and acting a lie. ¹⁶ "I, Jesus, sent My angel to testify to you these things to the assemblies. I am the root and offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star. ¹⁷ "And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come'; and let him that hears say, 'Come'; and let him that thirsts say, 'Come'; he that will let him take the water of life freely.

²⁰ He Who testifieth these things saith, "Yea; I come quickly." Amen; come, Lord Jesus!
