²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. ²² (Now all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which the Lord spake by the prophet, saying, ²³ "Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," which is God with us.)

²³ "Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," which is God with us.) ²⁴ So Joseph, when he awoke from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord directed him, and took home his wife: ²⁵ and he knew her not, till she brought forth her Son the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.

²² but I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without cause shall be liable to the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be obnoxious to the council; but whosoever shall say, "Thou fool," shall be in danger of hell-fire. ²³ Therefore, if thou bring thine offering to the altar, and there remembrest that thy brother hath any complaint against thee; ²⁴ leave thy gift there before the altar, and go and first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

²⁹ And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is the one Lord, ³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength:" this is the first or chief commandment, ³¹ and the second is like it, even this, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:" there is no other commandment greater than these. ³² And the scribe said unto Him, Truly, Master, thou hast spoke exceeding well; for there is one God, and there is no other beside Him. ³³ And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

¹⁷ delivering thee from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I now send thee, ¹⁸ to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of satan unto God; that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

²⁰ but declared first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, and turn unto God, performing works suitable to repentance.

⁸ And first I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is celebrated through the whole world: ⁹ for God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

²⁹ or is He the God of the Jews only, and not also of the Gentiles? ³⁰ surely of the Gentiles also: seeing it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision also through faith.

⁶ For when we were yet without strength, Christ died in due season for the ungodly.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that ye who were servants of sin, have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you:

¹ I say the truth in Christ, I lye not, (my conscience bearing me witness in the holy Ghost,)

¹² For there is no difference of Jew and Greek: for He being Lord of all is bountiful to all that call upon Him.

¹² For there is no difference of Jew and Greek: for He being Lord of all is bountiful to all that call upon Him. ¹³ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ¹⁴ But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

¹⁴ But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? ¹⁵ and how shall they preach unless they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the good tidings of good things?

¹³ For I speak to you Gentiles: inasmuch indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles,

¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, and well-pleasing to God, as your rational service. ² And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may experience what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

¹⁸ If it be possible, as much as ye can, live peaceably with all men.

¹ Let every soul be subject to the powers that are over them: for there is no such power but from God: the powers that are over men, are appointed by God. ² So that he who resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive condemnation. ³ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wouldest thou then not be afraid of the civil power? do what is good, and thou shalt have praise from it: ⁴ for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou dost evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is also the minister of God, as an avenger to execute his wrath upon the malefactor. ⁵ Wherefore it is necessary to submit, not only on account of punishment, but also of conscience. ⁶ For you pay them tribute also for this reason; because they are God's ministers, continually attending hereunto. ⁷ Render therefore to all what is their due: tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, reverence to whom reverence, honor to whom honor.

¹⁸ that in these serveth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

¹⁶ that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, administring the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the holy Spirit.

²⁶ but is now manifested, and made known to all nations by the writings of the prophets, according to the appointment of the eternal God,

⁶ (even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you;)

⁷ for I could wish that all men were as I myself am; but every man hath his proper gift from God, one of one kind and another of another?

⁴ As to the eating therefore of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

⁶ and lords many,) yet to us there is but one God the Father, from whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him.

³ But I would have you know that Christ is the head of every man; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

⁸ For the man was not of the woman; but the woman was taken out of the man: ⁹ nor was the man created for the sake of the woman, but the woman for the man.

³⁴ Let your women be silent in your assemblies: for it is not permitted to them to speak, but they are to be in subjection, as the law saith.

³⁴ Let your women be silent in your assemblies: for it is not permitted to them to speak, but they are to be in subjection, as the law saith. ³⁵ And if they would learn any thing, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it does not become women to speak in a public assembly.

³ For in the first place I delivered to you, that which I also received, to wit, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures:

⁴⁵ And so it is written, "The first man Adam was made a living soul." But the last Adam is an enlivening spirit. ⁴⁶ However, the spiritual is not first, but the animal; and afterwards the spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man being made out of the earth, was earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us, being fully persuaded of this, that if One died for all, then were all dead. ¹⁵ And He died for all, that those who live might no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them and rose again.

¹⁷ And therefore if any one be in Christ, he is created anew: old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. ¹⁸ But all these things are from God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and made us ministers of the reconciliation; ¹⁹ to declare, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing to them their trespasses, and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

²¹ For He hath made Him, who knew no sin, to be a sin-offering for us, that in Him we might be made righteous before God.

⁶ Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had already begun, so he would also complete this grace among you.

³ But I fear least as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the purity that is in Christ.

³¹ And the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lye not.

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach Him among the gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

²⁰ (Now in what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.)

⁹ and knowing the grace which was given to me; James, and Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars of the church, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

¹⁶ knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

⁹ So then they that believe, are blessed with believing Abraham.

²⁰ Now a mediator is not the mediator of one only; and God is but one.

⁴ but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son born of a woman made under the law,

⁴ but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son born of a woman made under the law, ⁵ that He might redeem those that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

⁷ in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

⁹ having made known to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure, which He had before purposed in Himself: ¹⁰ that in the dispensation of the fulness of times, He might reduce all things, both in heaven and on earth, under one head in Christ:

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to the knowledge of Him,

¹⁰ created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God before prepared us, that we might walk in them.

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; that the Gentiles should be co-heirs,

⁷ of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God conferred on me by the effectual operation of his power. ⁸ On me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace bestowed, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

¹³ Wherefore I desire that ye would not be discouraged at my afflictions on your account, which is your glory.

⁶ one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in all.

² even as Christ hath loved us, and given Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet perfume.

⁹ walk therefore as children of light, (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,) ¹⁰ approving what is well-pleasing to the Lord.

²⁰ always giving thanks for all to God even the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ:

²² Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord: ²³ for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and the saviour of that body. ²⁴ As the church then is subject to Christ, so also should wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

³ I give thanks unto my God upon every mention of you,

¹¹ being full of the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.

⁶ who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be as God. ⁷ Yet He emptied himself, assuming the form of a servant, when made in the likeness of men: ⁸ and being in the human state, He humbled himself, and was obedient even unto death, and that the death of the cross.

⁸ Finally my brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are venerable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are friendly, whatever things are reputable, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think of these things:

¹⁸ And indeed I have it all, and now abound: I am fully supplied, having received of Epaphroditus the things sent by you, a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

¹⁰ that ye may walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

¹⁸ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as becometh you in the Lord:

¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; who are displeasing to God, and contrary to all men: ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, thus going on to fill up their sins perpetually: but wrath is coming upon them to extremity.

¹² and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love to one another, and to all men, as we do towards you:

¹ As to what remains therefore, my brethren, we intreat and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received instructions from us, how ye ought to walk and to please God, ye would abound therein more and more.

¹¹ and endeavour to be quiet, and mind your own affairs, and work with your own hands,

³ We ought always to give thanks to God on your account, my brethren, as it is fit; because your faith increaseth greatly, and the love of every one of you towards each other aboundeth:

¹⁰ in that day, when He shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe; because our testimony among you was believed.

¹ Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the appointment of God our Saviour, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

⁵ so do, and acquaint them that the end of that charge is charity, out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned:

¹¹ which is according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I was intrusted. ¹² And I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who gave me ability for the work, that He accounted me faithful, having put me into the ministry,

¹⁴ with faith and love in Christ Jesus.

⁴ who is willing that all men should be saved, and therefore come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁹ likewise that women dress themselves in decent apparel with modesty and prudence, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly garments;

¹⁰ For to this end we both labour and suffer reproach, because we have hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.

⁴ But if any widow have children or grandchildren, let these learn first to shew piety at home, and to make suitable returns to their parents: for this is becoming, and acceptable in the sight of God. ⁵ Now she, that is really a widow and desolate, hopeth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. ⁶ But she that indulgeth to luxury, is dead while she liveth. ⁷ These things give in charge, that they may be blameless. ⁸ But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own family, he hath renounced the faith, and is worse than an infidel. ⁹ Let not a widow be chosen into the number under sixty years old, ¹⁰ having been the wife of one man: in repute for good actions, if she have educated children, if she have entertained strangers, if she have washed the feet of saints, if she have relieved the afflicted, and diligently followed every good work.

¹⁴ I would therefore have the younger widows marry, bear children, manage houshold affairs, and give no occasion to the adversary for reproach.

¹⁵ which He will manifest in his own times, who is the blessed and only potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords,

⁸ Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but bear thy part in the afflictions of the gospel, according to the power of God; ⁹ who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose, and grace bestowed upon us through Christ Jesus, before the world was,

¹¹ and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles:

²⁴ but to be gentle towards all men, ready to teach, patient under injuries, ²⁵ with meekness instructing those of different sentiments, not knowing but God may give them repentance to the acknowledgement of the truth;

⁷ and led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

¹ Paul a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for promoting the faith of God's chosen people, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness:

³ and hath in his own times manifested his word, by the preaching, with which I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour:

³ the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good; ⁴ that they may instruct the young women to be temperate, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be prudent, ⁵ chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

⁵ chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

¹⁰ not answering frowardly, not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. ¹¹ For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men;

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men; ¹² teaching us that denying ungodliness, and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and righteously, and piously in this present world;

¹² teaching us that denying ungodliness, and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and righteously, and piously in this present world; ¹³ looking for the blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great God, and our Saviour, Jesus Christ: ¹⁴ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

¹⁴ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

² to slander no man, to avoid contention, to be gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

⁸ This is a word which ought to believed and observed, and concerning these things I would have thee stedfastly affirm, that they who have believed in God be careful to excel in good works: for these things are good and profitable to men.

⁶ But one in a certain place hath testified, saying, "What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest Him? ⁷ Thou madest Him for a little while inferior to the angels; with glory and honor hast thou crowned Him, and hast set Him over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet," ⁸ For in putting all things under Him, He left nothing which was not to be in subjection to Him: though we do not yet see all things subjected to Him. ⁹ But we see Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels, in order to suffer death, that by the grace of God He might taste death for every man, crowned with glory and honor. ¹⁰ For it became Him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect by sufferings: ¹¹ since He that sanctifieth, and they that are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee." ¹³ And again, "I will trust in Him:" and again, "Behold, I, and the children which God hath given me."

¹¹ And we desire that every one of you would shew the same diligence to acquire the full assurance of hope even unto the end:

²⁵ wherefore also He is able to save to the uttermost, those that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.

⁶ But now He hath obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which is established upon better promises.

¹² nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

¹⁵ And on this account He is the mediator of a new covenant, that undergoing death for the redemption of transgressions against the first covenant, they that are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance.

²² let us draw near with sincerity, in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after having received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins;

¹⁴ Follow peace with all men; and holiness, without which none shall see the Lord:

²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than Abel.

¹⁶ But to do good and to communicate forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea blown about and tossed by the wind. ⁷ Let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord. ⁸ A double-minded man is inconstant in all his ways.

⁸ Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you: cleanse your hands, O sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

¹⁶ Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed: the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

¹⁸ knowing that ye were redeemed from your vain conversation learned by tradition from your fathers, not with corruptible things, as silver and gold; ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

⁵ and precious, ye also are built up as living stones, a spiritual house, an holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should declare the glories of Him, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: ¹⁰ who heretofore were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. ¹¹ Dearly beloved, I exhort you as strangers and sojourners here, to abstain from carnal lusts, which war against the soul: ¹² having a good conversation among the Gentiles; that whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may glorify God in the day of their visitation, on account of the good works which they behold in you.

¹² having a good conversation among the Gentiles; that whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may glorify God in the day of their visitation, on account of the good works which they behold in you. ¹³ Be subject therefore to every human form of government, for the Lord's sake: whether it be to a king as supreme;

²⁰ For what glory is it, if when ye sin and are punished for it, ye bear it patiently? but if when ye do well and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this will gain favor with God.

²⁴ Who Himself bare our sins in his own body on the cross, that we being dead to sins, might live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye are healed.

¹ Ye women likewise, be subject to your own husbands, that if any believe not the word, they may yet without the word be gained over by the deportment of the wives,

³ Whose adorning, let it not be that without, of plaiting the hair, and putting on of gold, or wearing fine clothes; ⁴ but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. ⁵ For so also formerly the holy women, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being submissive to their husbands; as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him her lord:

⁵ For so also formerly the holy women, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being submissive to their husbands; as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him her lord: ⁶ whose daughters ye are, if ye do well, and are not terrified with any sinful fear. ⁷ Ye husbands likewise, dwell with them according to knowledge, yielding due respect to the wife as the weaker vessel, and as joint-heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

¹⁸ As Christ also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust (that He might introduce us to God) being indeed put to death in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:

⁷ But the end of all things draws nigh: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer:
