²⁵ Now to Him that is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, (conformable to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret in former times,

³⁰ But ye are of Him in Christ Jesus, who from God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

¹ And I, my brethren, could not speak to you, as to spiritual persons, but as to carnal ones, even as to babes in Christ. ² I have fed you with milk, and not with meat; for ye were not hitherto able to bear it, nor yet are ye even now able.

²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or future, all are yours; ²³ and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

⁴ (for I am conscious to myself of nothing; though I am not hereby justified;) but He that judgeth me is the Lord. ⁵ Wherefore judge nothing before the time; even until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every one have praise from God.

²⁰ for the kingdom of God consisteth not in speech, but in power.

⁹ What! know ye not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites,

¹² All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be under the power of any: ¹³ meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats, but God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

¹⁹ What! know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God? ²⁰ and ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price. Glorify God therefore in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

¹⁵ But if the unbeliever depart, let them depart; a brother or a sister is not bound in such cases.

²² For he that is called in the Lord being a slave, is the Lord's freed-man: and he likewise that is called being free is the servant of Christ.

¹ Now as to things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge about them. Knowledge however puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

⁷ But there is not in all men this knowledge: and some with a consciousness of the idol unto this day, eat it as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and so their conscience being weak is defiled.

⁷ But there is not in all men this knowledge: and some with a consciousness of the idol unto this day, eat it as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and so their conscience being weak is defiled. ⁸ But meat does not recommend us to God; for neither, if we eat, are we the better; nor the worse, if we eat not.

⁸ But meat does not recommend us to God; for neither, if we eat, are we the better; nor the worse, if we eat not. ⁹ But see that this liberty of yours be not by any means a stumbling-block to the weak. ¹⁰ For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be encouraged to eat of the things sacrificed to idols?

¹⁰ For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be encouraged to eat of the things sacrificed to idols? ¹¹ and so the weak brother, for whom Christ died, shall perish by thy knowledge?

¹¹ and so the weak brother, for whom Christ died, shall perish by thy knowledge?

¹¹ and so the weak brother, for whom Christ died, shall perish by thy knowledge? ¹² But in thus sinning against your brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ:

¹² But in thus sinning against your brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ: ¹³ wherefore if meat make my brother to offend, I will never eat flesh while I breathe, least I make my brother to offend.

¹³ wherefore if meat make my brother to offend, I will never eat flesh while I breathe, least I make my brother to offend.

²² To the weak I became as the weak, that I might gain the weak: I became all things to all men, that I might by every means save some.

²⁵ Eat then whatever is sold in the shambles, asking no questions for conscience sake:

²⁹ Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other's; for why is my liberty to be judged by another man's conscience? ³⁰ And if I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed for that, for which I give thanks?

³⁰ And if I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed 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.

³¹ Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. ³² Behave inoffensively both to the Jews, and to the Greeks, and to the church of God.

³² Behave inoffensively both to the Jews, and to the Greeks, and to the church of God. ³³ Even as I also endeavour to please all men in all things, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

³³ Even as I also endeavour to please all men in all things, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

¹³ Judge in yourselves, Is it decent for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

²⁹ for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgement against himself, not distinguishing the Lord's body. ³⁰ For this many among you are weak and infirm, and several are fallen asleep. ³¹ If then we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged:

¹ For if I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and have not charity, I am but as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

⁴ Charity beareth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity is not insolent, is not puffed up, ⁵ doth not behave indecently, is not selfish, is not easily provoked,

¹² So ye also, since ye are so desirous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound in them to the edification of the church. ¹³ Wherefore let him, that speaketh in an unknown tongue, pray that he may interpret. ¹⁴ For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit indeed prayeth, but my meaning is fruitless. ¹⁵ What is then to be done? I will pray with the Spirit, but I will pray to be understood: I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing to be understood. ¹⁶ For if thou bless in the spirit, how shall the unlearned say Amen to thy thanksgiving, when he knoweth not what thou sayst? ¹⁷ thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

²⁶ What is then to be done, my brethren? when ye come together, if any of you hath a psalm, a doctrine, a tongue, a revelation, an interpretation,---let all be done for edification.

²³ But each in their proper order: the first-fruits, Christ; afterwards they that are Christ's, at his coming.

¹² For this is our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and pious sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and especially towards you.

² but have rejected shameful disguises, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth, recommending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of God.

¹⁰ For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, that every one may receive for the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it were good or bad. ¹¹ Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men: but if not, we are manifest unto God, and I hope we are also manifested to your consciences:

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.

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.

³ We give no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: ⁴ but in every thing approving ourselves as the ministers of God; by much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,

²⁰ hereby taking care that no one might blame us in the disposal of this large sum which is administered by us: ²¹ looking to things that are right not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

²¹ looking to things that are right not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

¹⁹ Do ye then think that we are making apologies to you? No, we speak before God in Christ: and all, my beloved, for your edification.

¹¹ Finally, my brethren, farewel: be reformed, be exhorted, be of one mind, live in peace: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

¹² For before certain men came from James, he did eat with the gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.

¹⁹ that I might live unto God. ²⁰ I am crucified with Christ; yet I live, though no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave up himself for me.

⁹ But now that ye know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that ye turn again to the poor weak elements, to which ye desire again to be in bondage as before? ¹⁰ Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years:

¹⁰ Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years:

¹³ For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only abuse not this liberty for an occasion to indulge the flesh, but by mutual love serve one another.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,

¹ Brethren, if a man be overtaken in any fault, do ye, who are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, least thou also shouldst be tempted.

⁵ For every one shall bear his own burthen.

¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but being created anew. ¹⁶ And as many as shall walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be on them, even upon all the Israel of God.

²⁰ which He exerted in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in heavenly places, ²¹ far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: ²² and hath put all things under his feet, and given Him to be head over all things to the church; ²³ which is his body, the complete work of Him, who filleth all in all.

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

³ endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace: for there is but one body and one Spirit, ⁴ even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; ⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in all. ⁷ But grace is given to each of us, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

²⁹ Let no corrupt word come out of your mouth; but what is good to useful edification, that it may benefit the hearers.

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.

⁶ being confident of this, that He who hath begun a good work in you will continue to perfect it till the day of Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ that ye may try things that differ, that ye may be sincere and without offence until the day of Christ;

²⁰ According to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall be put to shame in nothing; but that with all freedom of speech, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

²⁰ According to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall be put to shame in nothing; but that with all freedom of speech, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. ²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain: and if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: ²² so that I know not what to chuse; ²³ for I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is much preferable: ²⁴ but to abide in the flesh is more necessary for you.

¹ If therefore there be any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any participation of the Spirit,

¹ If therefore there be any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any participation of the Spirit, ² if any bowels of compassion, compleat ye my joy, be like-minded, maintaining the same love, with your souls united, in attending to the one thing needful. ³ Do nothing through strife or vain-glory, but in lowliness of mind each esteeming others better than themselves. ⁴ Look not every one to his own interests only, but every one also to the concerns of others.

⁹ Wherefore God hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name above every name: ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of celestial beings, as well as of those on earth, and of those under the earth; ¹¹ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁷ But if I be even poured forth as a libation on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and congratulate with you all.

²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and have such in high esteem: ³⁰ because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his own life, so that he might fill up what was wanting in your kind offices towards me.

³ For we are of the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, and having no confidence in the flesh.

⁹ not having my own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: that I may know Him,

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice.

⁷ And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

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.

¹¹ strengthened with all might according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;

¹⁶ Let no one therefore judge you on account of meat, or drink, or in respect of a feast, or a new-moon, or sabbaths; ¹⁷ which are a shadow of good things to come, but the body is of Christ.

¹² Put on therefore, as the elect of God holy and beloved, bowels of mercy, benignity, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; ¹³ bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any one has a complaint against any: even as Christ hath forgiven you, so also do ye. ¹⁴ And above all these put on love, which is the band of perfection. ¹⁵ And let the peace of God preside in your hearts, to which ye are also called as united in one body: and be thankful for it.

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord Christ;

³ Incessantly remembering your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father: ⁴ knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.

⁶ And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word tho' in much affliction, yet with joy of the holy Ghost.

¹² and charged you, that ye should walk worthy of God, who hath called you to his kingdom and glory.

¹⁴ for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also those, that sleep in Jesus, will God bring with Him. ¹⁵ For this we tell you in the word of the Lord, that we who shall be living and remain to the coming of the Lord, shall not be before those that are asleep. ¹⁶ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with acclamation, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; ¹⁷ then we who are living and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we for ever be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

¹⁰ who died for us, that whether we be awake, or asleep, we may live together with Him. ¹¹ Wherefore comfort one another, and edify each other, as indeed ye do. ¹² And we entreat you, brethren, to respect those that labour among you, and preside over you in the Lord, and instruct you;

²² Abstain from all appearance of evil.

⁴ nor attend to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion debates, rather than pious edification in the faith:

³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour:

³ and enjoining abstinence from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by those that believe and know the truth. ⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving: ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.

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.

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

²² Flee youthful passions: and follow righteousness, fidelity, love, and peace, with all those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart:

¹ I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing, in his kingdom;

¹⁵ To the pure indeed all things are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure; even their mind and conscience is polluted.

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; 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.

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.

¹⁰ relating only to meats and drinks, and different washings, and such carnal ordinances as were required till the time of reformation.

⁶ whereas without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe, that He is, and is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

² looking unto Jesus the leader and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹³ And make strait paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be turned out of the way, but rather be healed. ¹⁴ Follow peace with all men; and holiness, without which none shall see the Lord:

⁹ be not then carried about by various and strange doctrines; for it is good that the heart be established by grace, and not in meats, in which those that have been most exact, have not profited by them.

⁴ do ye not make a partial difference within yourselves, and become judges that reason wickedly?

¹⁸ But one may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith by thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. ¹⁹ Thou believest that there is one God; thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble. ²⁰ But desirest thou to know, O vain man, that faith without works, is dead? ²¹ consider, Was not our father Abraham justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? ²² Thou seest that faith co-operated with his works, and that by his works his faith was perfected. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. ²⁴ Ye see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. ²⁵ And in like manner also was not the harlot Rahab justified by works, when she entertained the spies, and let them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

¹³ Is there any wise and understanding man among you? let him shew his works by a good conversation in the meekness of wisdom:

¹³ Is there any wise and understanding man among you? let him shew his works by a good conversation in the meekness of wisdom: ¹⁴ but if ye have bitter envy and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth; ¹⁵ this is not the wisdom, that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and diabolical: ¹⁶ for where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above first is pure, then peaceable, mild, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those that promote peace.

¹¹ Speak not against one another, my brethren; he that speaketh against his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law; but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

¹¹ Speak not against one another, my brethren; he that speaketh against his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law; but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. ¹² Now there is but one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou then that judgest another?

⁵ who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

⁸ whom having not seen ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing ye rejoice with joy ineffable and full of glory; receiving the end of your faith,

²¹ who through Him trust in God that raised Him from the dead, and gave Him glory, that your faith and hope might be fixed in God.

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.

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.

¹¹ let him turn away from evil, and do good:

¹⁶ having a good conscience, that whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation in Christ.

² that he should no longer live the rest of his time in the flesh according to the lusts of men, but after the will of God.

⁵ who shall give an account to Him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

¹ Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ:

¹ But there were indeed false prophets among the people of old, as there will be also among you false teachers, who will privately introduce pernicious heresies, denying even the Lord that bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction, ² And He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

¹⁰ whereas, he that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and is in no danger of stumbling.

¹⁹ And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. ²⁰ For, if our heart condemn us, God is still greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence towards God:

²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence towards God:

¹⁵ Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

⁷ For many deceivers are come out into the world, who disown that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an antichrist.

¹⁰ Now if any one come unto you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor wish him success: for he,

⁸ We ought therefore to receive such, that we may become fellow-laborers in the truth. ⁹ I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, who affects the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us. ¹⁰ Therefore when I come, I will remember his deeds, prating against us with wicked words: and not content with these, he neither receiveth the brethren himself, nor suffers those that would; and casteth them out of the church.

¹⁴ And Enoch the seventh from Adam prophesied against these, saying, Behold the Lord cometh with his holy myriads, ¹⁵ to pass judgement upon all, and to convict all the ungodly among them of all their wicked works, which they have impiously committed, and of all the hard things which impious sinners have spoken against Him.

²⁴ Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy:

¹⁸ I am the first and the last, who live, though I was dead; and behold, I am alive for ever and ever, Amen, and have the keys of hades and of death.

⁸ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, These things saith the First and the Last, who was dead and is alive;

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee; for thou hast there those that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.

¹⁴ And the four animals said, Amen: and the twenty four elders fell down and worshipped Him that liveth to endless ages.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead, that die in the Lord, from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged by the things written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every one according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death. ¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.
