¹ Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenean, and Manaen who had been educated with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul;

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas boldly said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you; but since ye reject it, and judge not yourselves worthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles: ⁴⁷ for so the Lord hath commanded us, saying, "I have appointed thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the utmost part of the earth."

¹ Now some that came down from Judea, taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised according to the law of Moses, ye cannot be saved. ² A dissension therefore arising, and Paul and Barnabas having no small dispute with them, it was resolved that Paul and Barnabas, and some others, should go up to the apostles and elders at Jerusalem about this question. ³ They therefore, being brought forward on their way by the church, passed through Phenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles: and they gave great joy to all the brethren. ⁴ And when they came to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they told them all that God had done by them. ⁵ But there rose up, said they, some of the sect of the pharisees that believed, saying, that it was necessary to circumcise them, and enjoin them to keep the law of Moses.

²⁴ Forasmuch as we have heard, that some who went out from us, have troubled you by their discourses, unsettling your minds, saying, ye must be circumcised, and keep the law; to whom we gave no such commission;

⁴¹ And he went through Syria and Cilicia confirming the churches.

¹ Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold there was a certain disciple there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but of a Grecian father. ² Who was well spoken of by the brethren at Lystra and Iconium: ³ wherefore Paul was desirous that he should go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

⁵ And so the churches were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

⁵ But the unbelieving Jews being filled with envy, collected some loose profligate fellows, and making a tumult set all the city in an uproar: and assaulting Jason's house, they sought for them in order to bring them out to the populace.

² And finding there a certain Jew, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who was lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, (because Claudius Cesar had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome,) he went to them; ³ and as he was of the same trade, he staid and worked with them: for they were tent-makers. ⁴ And he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath-day, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. ⁵ And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was very urgent in spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.

⁵ And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was very urgent in spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. ⁶ But as they opposed and blasphemed, he shook his garment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clear of it: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles. ⁷ And departing thence, he went to the house of one named Justus, who worshipped God, whose house was contiguous to the synagogue. ⁸ But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing the word believed, and were baptized. ⁹ And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, "Fear not, but speak: and be not silent: ¹⁰ for I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city." ¹¹ And he staid a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God. ¹² But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose against Paul, and brought him to the seat of justice,

¹² But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose against Paul, and brought him to the seat of justice, ¹³ saying, this fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. ¹⁴ And when Paul was going to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were indeed an act of injustice, or some wicked crime, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you. ¹⁵ But if it be a question about words, and names, and your law, settle it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters. ¹⁶ And he ordered them away from the tribunal. ¹⁷ Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him even before the tribunal: but Gallio did not concern himself about the matter. ¹⁸ And after Paul had staid there yet a considerable time, he took leave of the brethren, and sailed from thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head at Cenchrea; for he had a vow.

²⁶ And as he began to speak openly in the synagogue, Aquila and Priscilla heard him and took him home, and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly. ²⁷ And as he was inclined to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples exhorting them to receive him: who when he arrived, was very helpful to those who had believed through grace.

³⁷ And they were all much grieved, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him: sorrowing most of all at the word which he spake,

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.

²² But having obtained help of God, I continue until this day, testifying both to small and great, and saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses declared should come to pass; even that the Messiah should suffer, ²³ and being the first of the resurrection from the dead should bring light to the people and to the Gentiles."

² separated unto the gospel of God, (which He had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures) concerning his Son,

⁵ by whom we have received grace and apostleship to preach the obedience of faith for his name's sake, to all nations;

⁷ to all that are in Rome beloved of God, called and holy: grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ And first I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is celebrated through the whole world:

²⁰ Inasmuch as from the first creation of the world, the invisible things of Him, even his eternal power and Godhead, are, if attended to, clearly seen in his works:

¹⁶ in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

²¹ But now, without the law, righteousness before God is manifested, being attested by the law and the prophets;

⁷ Whereas one would hardly die for a just man, though perhaps for a good man one might dare even to die.

¹ There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

²⁹ for those whom he foreknew, He also predetermined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be as the first-born among many brethren: and whom He before ordained, these He also called;

³⁷ but in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

¹⁶ Now if the first-fruits be holy, so is the whole heap: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

³³ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgements, and his ways not to be traced out! ³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his counsellor?

³⁶ For of Him, and through Him, and for Him, are all things. To Him be glory for ever. Amen.

⁴ Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? To his own master he standeth or falleth: yea, he shall be established; for God is able to establish him.

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

⁴ For whatever things were written heretofore, were written for our instruction; that we through patience and the consolation of the scriptures might have hope.

⁷ Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ hath received us, to the glory of God.

¹⁸ For I shall not go about to speak of any thing, but what Christ hath wrought by me, (to gain the obedience of the Gentiles,) both in word and deed:

²⁶ For the Macedonians and Achaians have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor saints at Jerusalem.

³³ Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

² that ye receive her in the Lord as becometh saints, and assist her in whatever affair she may have need of you; for she also hath been a helper of many others, as well as of myself.

² that ye receive her in the Lord as becometh saints, and assist her in whatever affair she may have need of you; for she also hath been a helper of many others, as well as of myself. ³ Salute Priscilla and Aquila my fellow-laborers in Christ Jesus:

³ Salute Priscilla and Aquila my fellow-laborers in Christ Jesus: ⁴ (who for my life exposed their own; to whom not I only give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles:) ⁵ and the church in their house. Salute my beloved Epenetus, who is the first-fruits of Achaia unto Christ. ⁶ Salute Mary, who took much pains on our account. ⁷ Salute Andronicus and Junias my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are men of note among the apostles, and who were in Christ before me. ⁸ Salute Amplias my beloved in the Lord. Salute Urbanus, our fellow-laborer in Christ, ⁹ and my beloved Stachys.

¹¹ Salute those of the family of Aristobulus. Salute Herodion my kinsman. Salute those of the family of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. ¹² Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, who hath laboured much in the Lord.

¹⁴ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren that are with them.

¹⁹ For your obedience is come to the knowledge of all: and therefore I rejoice on your account; but yet I would have you wise to that which is good, and simple as to that which is evil. ²⁰ And the God of peace will soon bruise Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. ²¹ Timothy my fellow-laborer, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.

²³ Gaius my host, and that of the whole church saluteth you. Erastus, the chamberlain of the city, and our brother Quartus saluteth you.

¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye would all say alike, and that there may be no schisms among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgement. ¹¹ For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you. ¹² I mean, that each of you saith, as if of different parties, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, I of Cephas, and I of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius:

²³ to the Jews indeed a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; but to them that are called,

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, when I came among you, brethren, came not with excellency of language, or of human wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God: ² for I did not think it meet to know any thing among you, but Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

⁷ But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, that hidden wisdom which God ordained before the worlds for our glory:

³ Because ye are still carnal: for while there is among you envy and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk as men?

¹ Let a man so account of us, as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

⁹ I wrote to you in an epistle, not to associate with whoremongers: ¹⁰ but I did not mean not at all with the whoremongers of this world, or the covetous, or rapacious, or idolaters: since ye must then go out of the world. ¹¹ But now I have written to you, not to associate with him, if any one, that is called a brother, be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious; with such a one no not to eat.

¹⁷ However, as God hath distributed to every man, and as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk: and thus I order in all the churches.

¹⁸ For first when ye come together in the church, I hear there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it. ¹⁹ For there must be even heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.

²⁰ My brethren, be not children in sense: but in malice be infants, and in your judgements shew yourselves to be men.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his favor to me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

⁵⁸ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

¹ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. ² Upon the first day of the week let every one of you set apart something, putting it into the treasury, according as he is prospered: that there may be no need of collections, when I come. ³ And when I am with you, whomsoever ye shall approve, I will send, with your letters, to carry your bounty to Jerusalem. ⁴ And if it be requisite for me to go also, they shall go with me.

¹⁵ I beseech you, brethren, (for ye know the family of Stephanas, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and ¹⁶ have set themselves to minister to the saints) that you also would be subservient to such, and to every one that worketh and laboureth with us.

¹⁹ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla, with the church in their house, salute you in the Lord with much affection: ²⁰ yea all the brethren salute you. Salute one another with an holy kiss. ²¹ The salutation of me Paul I write with my own hand.

²³ Maran-atha. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

¹ Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, and all the saints that are in Achaia:

¹⁹ For Jesus Christ the Son of God, who was preached among you by us, even by me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, was not yea and nay,

⁹ For to this end also did I write, that I might have proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.

¹⁷ For we are not like many who adulterate the word of God: but as with sincerity, but as from God, and in the sight of God, we speak concerning Christ.

¹ Do we begin again to recommend ourselves? or do we need, as some do, recommendatory epistles to you, or letters of recommendation from 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. ³ And if our gospel also be veiled, it is to those that perish;

⁵ for we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for the sake of Jesus.

¹⁷ And therefore if any one be in Christ, he is created anew: old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.

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.

²² And we have sent with them another brother of ours, whom we have often proved diligent in many things, and now I doubt not much more on account of his great confidence in you.

² for I know your readiness of mind, which I boast of concerning you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath excited many.

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.

¹³ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transformed into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder: for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. ¹⁵ It is therefore no great thing, if his ministers also be transformed into ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

²³ so am I: are they ministers of Christ? (if I may speak as a fool) I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes far exceeding, in prisons more frequently, and often even in deaths.

¹² Salute one another with an holy kiss.

¹⁴ and the love of God, and the communication of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father: ⁵ to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁷ but there be some that disturb you, and would subvert the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But tho' we or an angel from heaven should preach to you any other gospel than what we have preached to you; let him be accursed. ⁹ I say it again, if any one preach to you any other gospel than what ye have received, let him be accursed. ¹⁰ For do I now persuade you to obey men or God? Or do I seek to please men? if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

²² and was not known in person to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ.

² But I went up according to a divine revelation, and laid before them the gospel which I preach among the gentiles: though privately to those of note, least I should run, or had run in vain.

⁴ and that because of the false brethren clandestinely introduced, who had crept in as spies upon our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

⁶ And as to those who seemed to be men of note, whatever they were, it is all one to me, (God accepteth no man's person) for even these eminent persons added nothing more to me.

⁸ And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles through faith, preached the gospel to Abraham long ago, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love.

¹¹ Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my own hand.

¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but being created anew.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, my brethren. Amen.

¹ Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints, who are at Ephesus, even the faithful in Christ Jesus;

⁴ according as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unblameable before Him in love:

⁷ in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace; ⁸ wherein He hath abounded towards us with the highest wisdom and prudence; ⁹ having made known to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure, which He had before purposed in Himself:

¹⁵ Wherefore I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, ¹⁶ and your love to all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 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, ¹⁸ and enlighten the eyes of your understanding; that ye may know, what is the hope of his calling, and how rich the glory of his inheritance in the saints;

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

²⁰ being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone:

³ that by immediate revelation He made known to me the mystery, (as I wrote before in brief, by which, ⁴ when ye read it, ye may perceive my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,) 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,

⁹ and make all men to see the communication of the mystery, which from the ages past hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ; ¹⁰ that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions; ¹¹ according to the ancient purpose, which He executed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

²⁰ Now to Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power operating in us, ²¹ to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, throughout all the generations of eternal ages. Amen.

³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or inordinate desire, let it not be even named among you; for so it becometh saints:

¹⁷ Wherefore be not thoughtless, but consider what is the will of the Lord.

¹⁹ and for me particularly, that utterance may be given me, that I may open my mouth with freedom, to make known the mystery of the gospel:

¹ Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus, which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

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

²⁷ Only behave worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of you, that ye stand firm in one Spirit, striving together as with one soul for the saith of the gospel;

¹⁵ that ye may be blameless and inoffensive, the children of God without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom ye shine as lights in the world,

¹⁹ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be refreshed, by knowing the state of your affairs. ²⁰ For I have no one of a like spirit, who will with a kind of natural affection take care of your affairs. ²¹ For all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

²¹ For all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. ²² But ye know the proof I have had of him, that as son with a father he served with me in the gospel.

²² But ye know the proof I have had of him, that as son with a father he served with me in the gospel. ²³ I hope therefore to send him as soon as I see the issue of my own affairs.

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.

² Beware of those that are like dogs, beware of evil doers, beware of the concision. ³ For we are of the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, and having no confidence in the flesh.

¹⁷ Brethren, be imitators of me, and observe those that walk as ye have us for an example.

¹⁹ whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things) For our conversation is in heaven,

¹ Wherefore, my brethren, beloved and much desired, my joy and crown, so stand ye fast in the Lord, my beloved.

¹⁴ Nevertheless ye did well in communicating to the relief of my affliction. ¹⁵ And ye Philippians know, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I was departing from Macedonia, no church communicated to me on the score of giving and receiving, but you only. ¹⁶ For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again to supply my wants. ¹⁷ Not that I desire a gift, but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 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. ¹⁹ And my God will supply all your wants, according to his riches, in glory, by Christ Jesus. ²⁰ Now to our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²³ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

¹ Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, ² and Timothy our brother, to the holy and faithful brethren in Christ at Colosse: grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ³ We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always in our prayers for you: ⁴ (having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and your love to all the saints:) ⁵ for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye have heard before in the word of truth, that is the gospel; ⁶ which is come unto you, even as in all the world, and is fruitful; as it hath been also among you, from the day in which ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth. ⁷ As ye also learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you; ⁸ who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. ⁹ For this cause we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to request that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:

²⁶ even that mystery which was hid from former ages and generations, but is now manifested to his saints:

²⁶ even that mystery which was hid from former ages and generations, but is now manifested to his saints: ²⁷ to whom God would make known the rich glory of this mystery, among the gentiles; which is this, that Christ is in you the hope of glory:

²⁹ in order to which I also labour, striving earnestly according to his energy which operates in me with power.

² that their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all the riches of a full assurance of understanding in these things, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of our God and Father, and of Christ: ³ in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. ⁴ And this I say, least any one should deceive you with fine speeches.

⁸ Take heed least any one make a prey of you by philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ:

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another by psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude singing in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to our God and Father by Him.

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

¹⁰ Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus nephew to Barnabas, concerning whom ye have received orders; (if he come to you, receive him;) and Jesus who is called Justus:

¹² Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you; who always strives earnestly for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God:

¹⁵ Salute the brethren in Laodicea; and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.

¹ Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ² We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers. 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:

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:

⁸ For the word of the Lord sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia; but also in every place your faith towards God is spread abroad, so that we have no need to say any thing of it. ⁹ For they themselves declare concerning us what kind of entrance we had among you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God;

¹⁴ For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God, which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus, in that ye also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, as they have from the Jews:

² and sent Timothy our brother, and a minister of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you concerning your faith;

⁶ But now Timothy being come back to us from you, and having brought us good tidings concerning your faith and love, and that ye have always a good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, as we indeed do to see you;

⁶ But now Timothy being come back to us from you, and having brought us good tidings concerning your faith and love, and that ye have always a good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, as we indeed do to see you; ⁷ by this we were comforted in you, my brethren, under all our affliction and distress, because of your faith: ⁸ for now we are revived, since you are stedfast in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanks can we render to God concerning you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on your account before our God, ¹⁰ night and day most ardently praying, that we may see your face, and perfect whatever is wanting in your faith?

¹³ that your hearts may be established unblameable in holiness, before God even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints.

¹² And we entreat you, brethren, to respect those that labour among you, and preside over you in the Lord, and instruct you; ¹³ and to esteem them very highly in love, on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

²⁶ Salute all the brethren with an holy kiss.

²⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

¹ Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ and wonders, and with all iniquitous fraud, among those that shall perish; because they received not the love of the truth, by which they might be saved.

¹³ But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord; because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth: ¹⁴ to which He hath called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, ¹⁷ and establish you in every good word and work.

³ But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and preserve you from the evil one.

⁶ Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother who walketh disorderly, and not according to the instruction which he received from us.

¹⁴ by this epistle, mark such a one, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. ¹⁵ However do not look upon him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

¹⁸ "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all." Amen.

² to Timothy my true son in the faith, be grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord. ³ As I exhorted thee to stay at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,

¹⁷ Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁰ but in good works, as becometh women professing godliness.

¹⁰ (And let these also first be proved, then let them take the office of deacons, if they be found blameless.)

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.

² the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all purity.

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.

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.

¹⁷ Let the elders, who preside well, be counted worthy of double honor, especially those that labour in preaching and teaching. ¹⁸ For the scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn:" and, "The workman is worthy of his hire."

³ These things teach and exhort. If any one teach otherwise, and adhere not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness; ⁴ he is proud, knowing nothing, but is delirious about questions and strifes of words: from which cometh envy, contention, calumnies, wicked suspicions, perverse debates of men corrupted in mind, ⁵ and void of truth, accounting gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

⁵ and void of truth, accounting gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

¹¹ But do thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, piety, fidelity, love, patience, meekness.

¹⁶ who alone hath immortality, dwelling in light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

²⁰ O Timothy, keep that with which thou art entrusted, avoiding profane empty babblings, and the oppositions of science falsely so called:

² to Timothy my beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

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, ¹⁰ but now made manifest by the appearance of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light by the gospel: for which I was appointed an herald,

¹⁸ (The Lord grant that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day!) And how much he ministered to me at Ephesus too, thou knowest full well.

⁸ Remember Jesus Christ of the seed of David, who was raised from the dead, according to my gospel:

¹⁶ But avoid prophane empty harangues; for they will proceed to more impiety, ¹⁷ and their discourse will eat like a gangrene. Of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus; who have erred from the truth, ¹⁸ saying that the resurrection is already past; and subvert the faith of some.

² for men will be selfish, covetous, arrogant, proud, blasphemers, undutiful to parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ without natural affection, perfidious, false accusers, intemperate, savage, enemies to the good, traitors, ⁴ headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, ⁵ having a form of godliness, but strangers to the power of it: from such turn away.

⁵ having a form of godliness, but strangers to the power of it: from such turn away. ⁶ For of these are they who insinuate themselves into families, and captivate weak women, that are laden with sins,

¹⁵ and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus: for all scripture is by inspiration from God, ¹⁶ and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; ¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly fitted for every good work.

¹⁸ And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory throughout all ages. Amen. ¹⁹ Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the family of Onesiphorus. ²⁰ Erastus staid at Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick at Miletus.

²² The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you all. Amen.

² in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before all ages;

² in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before all ages; 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:

¹⁰ For there are many disorderly persons, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision; whose mouths must be stopped: ¹¹ who subvert whole families, teaching what they ought not, for shameful gain: ¹² as said one of themselves, a prophet of their own, "The Cretans are always liars, mischievous beasts, sluggish gluttons."

³ the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

¹⁰ reject therefore such an heretical man, after the first and second admonition; knowing that such a one is perverted,

² and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thine house,

¹² him therefore, as my own bowels, do thou receive.

¹⁷ If therefore thou accountest me a friend, receive him as thou wouldst receive me.

²³ Epaphras my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, and Marcus,

²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

¹⁴ Seeing then the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also himself in like manner partook of them; that by death He might destroy him that had the empire of death, that is, the devil: ¹⁵ and deliver those who through fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage.

¹ Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high-priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

¹⁰ For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shewn to his name, by having ministred to the saints, and yet ministring. 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.

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works, that ye may serve the living God?

⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, to day, and for ever:

¹⁵ By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

²¹ make you perfect in every good work, to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²³ Know that our brother Timothy is set at liberty, with whom (if he come soon) I will see you.

¹ James a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in dispersion sendeth greeting.

¹⁸ who hath of his own will begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.

¹⁵ If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food;

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.

² Asia, and Bithynia, chosen according to the fore-knowledge of God, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience, and to the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ,---may grace and peace be multiplied unto you.

⁷ That the proof of your faith, which is much more precious than of gold, (that perisheth, though tried by fire) may be found unto praise, and honor, and glory, when Jesus Christ shall be revealed:

¹⁰ concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied of the grace to be conferred on you, enquired and diligently sought after it: ¹¹ searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did declare in testifying beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ, and the glories following them: ¹² to whom it was revealed, that it was not to themselves, but to us they ministered these things, which are now declared unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you, through the holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

²⁰ who was indeed appointed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times, for your sakes,

²² Having therefore purified your souls by obedience to the truth, through the Spirit, to brotherly love unfeigned, love one another with a pure heart fervently: ²³ being regenerated not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever.

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.

¹⁰ But may the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a little while, make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

¹⁰ But may the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a little while, make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. ¹¹ To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁴ Salute one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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 many will follow their pernicious tenets, on whose account the way of truth will be reproached: ³ and by artful speeches they will make sale of you for gain. Whose judgement is long since hastening, and their destruction doth not slumber.

¹⁰ especially those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise authority; who, being audacious and self-willed, are not afraid to speak evil of dignities: ¹¹ whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, bring not a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. ¹² But these men, like brute beasts naturally produced to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil of things which they do not understand, shall perish by their own corruption; receiving the reward of their unrighteousness: ¹³ who account it a pleasure to riot even in the day; spots and disgraces; revelling in their frauds, while they partake of your feasts: ¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and which cannot be restrained from sin: ensnaring unstable souls, and having a heart practised in rapine; cursed people: ¹⁵ who have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity;

¹⁸ For when they speak swelling words of vanity, they ensnare in the lusts of the flesh, through their lasciviousness, those who had indeed withdrawn from such as deal in error; ¹⁹ promising them liberty, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for by whom any one is vanquished, by him he is also enslaved. ²⁰ For if, after they had escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled and vanquished by them, their last state is worse than the first;

¹⁸ But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: to Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

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

⁸ he, that makes a practise of sin, is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. And for this the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

¹⁴ since we know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he, that loveth not his brother, remaineth in death.

¹⁶ In this we know his love, that He laid down his life for us: and we should be ready to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹ Beloved, believe not every Spirit, but try the spirits, whether they be of God: for many false prophets are gone out into the world. ² By this ye may know the Spirit of God: every Spirit that confesseth Jesus Christ, who is come in the flesh, is of God: ³ and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ, who is come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, which ye have heard was coming, and is already in the world.

¹³ By this we know that we are in Him, and He in us; because He hath given us of his Spirit.

²⁰ But we know that the son of God is come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, and in his son Jesus Christ: He is the true God, and eternal life.

¹ The elder unto the excellent Lady, and her children, whom I love in truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;

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. ⁸ Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye have wrought, but that ye may receive a full reward. ⁹ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: but he, that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the Father and the Son. 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,

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, ¹¹ that biddeth him welcome, is partaker of his evil deeds.

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

¹ The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. ² Beloved, I earnestly pray, that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth. ³ For I greatly rejoiced, when the brethren came, and bore testimony to thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth. ⁴ And I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth. ⁵ Beloved, thou actest faithfully in whatsoever service thou dost to the brethren, and to strangers too;

⁵ Beloved, thou actest faithfully in whatsoever service thou dost to the brethren, and to strangers too; ⁶ who have borne witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well in forwarding, as is worthy of God.

⁶ who have borne witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well in forwarding, as is worthy of God. ⁷ For they went forth for his name's sake, taking nothing of the gentiles. 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.

¹ Jude a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified in God the Father, and who are preserved and called in Jesus Christ;

¹² These are spots in your love-feasts, feeding themselves without fear, when they are feasting with you: clouds without water, carried about by the winds; trees withered and without fruit, twice dead and rooted up; raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;

¹⁶ These are murmurers, complainers, who walk according to their own irregular desires; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, with admiration of certain persons for some advantage of their own.

¹⁹ These are they who separate themselves, sensualists, not having the Spirit.

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: ²⁵ to the only wise God our Saviour be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen.

²⁵ to the only wise God our Saviour be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen.

¹ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew to his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John,

⁴ John to the seven churches in Asia---Grace and peace be to you, from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; ⁵ and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, ⁶ and hath made us kings and priests to his God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. ⁹ I John, who am also your brother, and companion in the affliction, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

⁹ I John, who am also your brother, and companion in the affliction, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. ¹⁰ Here I was in the Spirit on the Lord's-day: and heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, ¹¹ saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last; and, What thou seest write in a book, and send it to the seven churches in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹⁷ And when I saw Him, I fell at his feet as dead; and He laid his right hand upon me, and said to me, "Fear not,

⁹ And when the animals give glory and honor and thanks to Him that sitteth on the throne, ¹⁰ who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sitteth on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, ¹¹ and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Worthy art thou, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by thy will they exist, and were created.

⁹ And they sung a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open its seals; for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation; ¹⁰ and hast made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. ¹¹ And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round the throne and the animals and the elders: and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands; ¹² saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. ¹³ And I heard every creature in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all that are in them, saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb, for ever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four animals said, Amen: and the twenty four elders fell down and worshipped Him that liveth to endless ages.

¹⁰ and crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation be ascribed to our God, who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb. ¹¹ And all the angels stood round the throne, and round the elders, and the four animate beings; and fell on their faces before the throne, and worshipped God, saying, Amen: ¹² Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength be ascribed to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.

⁴ These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth: these were redeemed from among men, as the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb.

¹ And after these things I heard a loud voice as of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Alleluia; salvation, and glory, and honor, and power to the Lord our God: for true and righteous are his judgements; ² He hath judged the great whore, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand: ³ (and again they said, Alleluia:) and her smoke ascendeth for ever and ever. ⁴ And the four and twenty elders, and the four animals fell down and worshipped God that sat upon the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. ⁵ And a voice came out from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and great. ⁶ And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the noise of many waters, and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, Alleluia, for the Lord God the almighty reigneth.

¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him: and he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and a fellow-servant of thy brethren, that hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the Spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.

¹ And I saw an angel come down from heaven, who had the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand. ² And he seized the dragon, that old serpent, who is the devil and satan, and bound him a thousand years, ³ and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he might deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years be finished: and then he must be loosed for a little time.

²¹ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
