⁸ And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with him, ⁹ knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship; ¹⁰ for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God; ¹¹ so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁷ but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, ⁸ and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death—death even of a cross, ⁹ wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name, ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow—of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth— ¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁸ because also Christ once for sin did suffer—righteous for unrighteous—that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven—messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.

⁵⁶ he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

⁴ remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me.

²³ I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

²⁶ and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.'

²⁸ And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

¹⁰ and if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, and the Spirit is life because of righteousness,

¹⁶ have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?

² have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments?

¹⁵ Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make them members of an harlot? let it be not!

¹⁹ Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own,

²⁴ have ye not known that those running in a race—all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain;

²⁷ but I chastise my body, and bring it into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others—I myself may become disapproved.

²⁸ and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

³¹ for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

¹⁶ and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said—`I will dwell in them, and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,

⁶ and I hope that ye shall know that we—we are not disapproved of;
⁷ and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;

²⁰ with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh—in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

¹⁹ my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

⁴ and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other,

²⁰ being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner-stone, ²¹ in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord, ²² in whom also ye are builded together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

¹⁷ that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,

²³ if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became—I Paul—a ministrant.

²⁷ to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations—which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,

⁷ being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught—abounding in it in thanksgiving.

¹⁹ and not holding the head, from which all the body—through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together—may increase with the increase of God.

¹⁵ and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.

⁸ and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith;

¹³ this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

¹⁶ God they profess to know, and in the works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.

² aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance;

¹ We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,

⁸ and that which is bearing thorns and briers is disapproved of, and nigh to cursing, whose end is for burning;

¹⁵ looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;

⁴ Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set.

⁴ to whom coming—a living stone—by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious, ⁵ and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ whom resist, stedfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be accomplished.

²⁰ because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,

⁵ remember, then, whence thou hast fallen, and reform, and the first works do; and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will remove thy lamp-stand from its place—if thou mayest not reform;

² become watching, and strengthen the rest of the things that are about to die, for I have not found thy works fulfilled before God. ³ `Remember, then, how thou hast received, and heard, and be keeping, and reform: if, then, thou mayest not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou mayest not know what hour I will come upon thee.

²⁰ for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I—I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,

³ since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you, ⁴ for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.

¹⁰ And Jabez calleth to the God of Israel, saying, `If blessing Thou dost bless me, then Thou hast made great my border, and Thy hand hath been with me, and Thou hast kept me from evil—not to grieve me;' and God bringeth in that which he asked.

¹³ `And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory—to the ages. Amen.

¹⁵ I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil.

¹⁷ giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

¹³ as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;

¹⁰ salute Apelles, the approved in Christ; salute those of the household of Aristobulus;

⁹ for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last—as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men; ¹⁰ we are fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we are ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured; ¹¹ unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about, ¹² and labour, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer; ¹³ being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become—of all things an offscouring—till now.

¹⁹ for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;

⁴ but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,

⁸ through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true; ⁹ as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;

²¹ providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men;

¹⁸ for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.

⁹ for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for—your perfection!

⁹ and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment, ¹⁰ for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless—to a day of Christ, ¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

⁸ As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as are grave, as many as are righteous, as many as are pure, as many as are lovely, as many as are of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;

²³ and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

² for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

¹⁵ be diligent to present thyself approved to God—a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth;

¹⁸ and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save me —to his heavenly kingdom; to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen.

¹² Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

¹² having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.

²⁸ And Moses saith, `By this ye do know that Jehovah hath sent me to do all these works, that they are not from my own heart; <sup>29</sup> if according to the death of all men these die—or the charge of all men is charged upon them—Jehovah hath not sent me; <sup>30</sup> and if a strange thing Jehovah do, and the ground hath opened her mouth and swallowed them, and all that they have, and they have gone down alive to Sheol—then ye have known that these men have despised Jehovah.' <sup>31</sup> And it cometh to pass at his finishing speaking all these words, that the ground which is under them cleaveth, <sup>32</sup> and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth them, and their houses, and all the men who are for Korah, and all the goods, <sup>33</sup> and they go down, they, and all that they have, alive to Sheol, and the earth closeth over them, and they perish from the midst of the assembly; <sup>34</sup> and all Israel who are round about them have fled at their voice, for they said, `Lest the earth swallow us;'
³⁵ and fire hath come out from Jehovah, and consumeth the two hundred and fifty men bringing near the perfume.

²⁸ And Micaiah saith, `If thou at all return in peace—Jehovah hath not spoken by me;' and he saith, `Hear, O peoples, all of them.'

⁹ And he sendeth unto him a head of fifty and his fifty, and he goeth up unto him (and lo, he is sitting on the top of the hill), and he speaketh unto him, `O man of God, the king hath spoken, Come down.' <sup>10</sup> And Elijah answereth and speaketh unto the head of the fifty, `And if I am a man of God, fire doth come down from the heavens, and consume thee and thy fifty;' and fire cometh down from the heavens, and consumeth him and his fifty. ¹¹ And he turneth and sendeth unto him another head of fifty and his fifty, and he answereth and speaketh unto him, `O man of God, thus said the king, Haste, come down.' <sup>12</sup> And Elijah answereth and speaketh unto them, `If I am a man of God, fire doth come down from the heavens, and consume thee and thy fifty;' and fire of God cometh down from the heavens, and consumeth him and his fifty. ¹³ And he turneth and sendeth a third head of fifty and his fifty, and the third head of fifty goeth up, and cometh in, and boweth on his knees over-against Elijah, and maketh supplication unto him, and speaketh unto him, `O man of God, let be precious, I pray thee, my soul and the soul of thy servants—these fifty—in thine eyes.

²³ And he goeth up thence to Beth-El, and he is going up in the way, and little youths have come out from the city, and scoff at him, and say to him, `Go up, bald-head! go up, bald-head!' ²⁴ And he looketh behind him, and seeth them, and declareth them vile in the name of Jehovah, and two bears come out of the forest, and rend of them forty and two lads. ²⁵ And he goeth thence unto the hill of Carmel, and thence he hath turned back to Samaria.

³⁰ There is no wisdom, nor understanding, Nor counsel, over-against Jehovah.

² As a bird by wandering, as a swallow by flying, So reviling without cause doth not come.

³⁹ And Jesus said, `Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:

¹⁷ `And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak; ¹⁸ serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.'
¹⁹ The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;

⁴⁹ And John answering said, `Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;' <sup>50</sup> and Jesus said unto him, `Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'
⁵¹ And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem, ⁵² and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him, ⁵³ and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem. ⁵⁴ And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir, wilt thou that we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?' <sup>55</sup> and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, `Ye have not known of what spirit ye are; ⁵⁶ for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village.

²⁸ to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass. ²⁹ `And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word, ³⁰ in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.'

¹ And a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, ² and did keep back of the price—his wife also knowing—and having brought a certain part, at the feet of the apostles he laid it . ³ And Peter said, `Ananias, wherefore did the Adversary fill thy heart, for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place? <sup>4</sup> while it remained, did it not remain thine? and having been sold, in thy authority was it not? why is it that thou didst put in thy heart this thing? thou didst not lie to men, but to God;' <sup>5</sup> and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things, <sup>6</sup> and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried him . <sup>7</sup> And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what hath happened, came in, <sup>8</sup> and Peter answered her, `Tell me if for so much ye sold the place;' and she said, `Yes, for so much.' <sup>9</sup> And Peter said unto her, `How was it agreed by you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? lo, the feet of those who did bury thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee forth;' ¹⁰ and she fell down presently at his feet, and expired, and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried forth, they buried her by her husband; ¹¹ and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.

³ then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent them away.
⁴ These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, thence also they sailed to Cyprus, ⁵ and having come unto Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they had also John as a ministrant; ⁶ and having gone through the island unto Paphos, they found a certain magian, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name is Bar-Jesus; ⁷ who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire to hear the word of God, ⁸ and there withstood them Elymas the magian—for so is his name interpreted—seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith. ⁹ And Saul—who also is Paul—having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly on him, ¹⁰ said, `O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord? ¹¹ and now, lo, a hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season;' and presently there fell upon him a mist and darkness, and he, going about, was seeking some to lead him by the hand; ¹² then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

¹¹ mighty works also—not common—was God working through the hands of Paul, ¹² so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.
¹³ And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took upon them to name over those having the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, `We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul doth preach;' <sup>14</sup> and there were certain—seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest—who are doing this thing; <sup>15</sup> and the evil spirit, answering, said, `Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and ye—who are ye?' ¹⁶ And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house, ¹⁷ and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified,

⁸ for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast concerning our authority, that the Lord gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I shall not be ashamed;

²⁰ of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.

³ how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving—to be spoken through the Lord—by those having heard was confirmed to us, ⁴ God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.

¹⁰ we are fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we are ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured;

¹ Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;

³⁰ if to boast it behoveth me, of the things of my infirmity I will boast;

⁵ Of such an one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities, ⁶ for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of me; ⁷ and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch. ⁸ Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me, ⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me: ¹⁰ wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

⁷ and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved; ⁸ for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;

¹¹ Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;

¹² unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ, ¹³ till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ,

¹² Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus; ¹³ brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing—the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth— ¹⁴ to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
¹⁵ As many, therefore, as are perfect—let us think this, and if in anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,

²⁸ whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,

¹² Salute you doth Epaphras, who is of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,

¹⁰ night and day exceedingly beseeching, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith.

¹⁷ that the man of God may be fitted—for every good work having been completed.

¹ Wherefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith on God,

²³ to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,

²¹ make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory—to the ages of the ages! Amen.

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you;

²¹ what do ye wish? with a rod shall I come unto you, or in love, with a spirit also of meekness?

³ and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,

² and I beseech you, that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh;

² I have said before, and I say it before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,

⁸ for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;

⁴ and his brethren see that their father hath loved him more than any of his brethren, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak to him peaceably.

²⁴ And he sendeth his brethren away, and they go; and he saith unto them, `Be not angry in the way.'

²³ `Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted `With us he is God.'

⁴⁸ ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who is in the heavens is perfect.

⁵⁰ The salt is good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season it ? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.'

⁴⁹ And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, `Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;'

⁶¹ And another also said, `I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;'

²⁹ to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!'

²¹ but took leave of them, saying, `It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you—God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus,

³⁰ and a plot having been intimated to me against this man—about to be of the Jews—at once I sent unto thee, having given command also to the accusers to say the things against him before thee; be strong.'

¹⁶ of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;

¹⁸ If possible—so far as in you—with all men being in peace;

¹⁹ So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;

⁵ And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus; ⁶ that with one accord—with one mouth—ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹³ and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

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

²⁰ and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen!

¹⁰ And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

⁴ who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

¹⁴ the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you all! Amen.

³ being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of the peace;

²³ Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

²⁷ Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

¹ If, then, any exhortation is in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies, ² fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing—having the same love—of one soul—minding the one thing, ³ nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves—

¹⁶ but to what we have come—by the same rule walk, the same thing think;

² Euodia I exhort, and Syntyche I exhort, to be of the same mind in the Lord;

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice;

⁹ the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be with you.

¹ As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the more,

¹⁸ so, then, comfort ye one another in these words.

¹³ and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

¹⁶ always rejoice ye;

¹⁶ and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace,

¹⁶ and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord is with you all!

²² and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;

¹⁴ peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,

²⁰ And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep—in the blood of an age-during covenant—our Lord Jesus,

⁴ and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire—in nothing lacking;

¹⁷ and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: — ¹⁸ and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.

⁸ And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous,

¹¹ let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it;

⁸ he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love. ⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son—the only begotten—hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him; ¹⁰ in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love; ¹² God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us; ¹³ in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.
¹⁴ And we—we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son—Saviour of the world; ¹⁵ whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God; ¹⁶ and we—we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.

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

¹⁶ salute one another in a holy kiss; the assemblies of Christ do salute you.

²⁰ salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in an holy kiss.

²⁶ salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;

¹⁴ Salute ye one another in a kiss of love; peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus! Amen.

²¹ Salute you do Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kindred; ²² I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord; ²³ salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother,

²¹ Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus; there salute you the brethren with me; ²² there salute you all the saints, and specially those of Caesar's house;

²³ Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus,) ²⁴ Markus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas, my fellow-workmen!

²⁴ Salute all those leading you, and all the saints; salute you doth those from Italy:

¹³ Salute you doth the assembly in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus my son.

¹³ salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen.
¹⁴ and I hope straightway to see thee, and mouth to mouth we shall speak. Peace to thee! salute thee do the friends; be saluting the friends by name.

²³ `Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, saying, Thus ye do bless the sons of Israel, saying to them, <sup>24</sup> `Jehovah bless thee and keep thee; ²⁵ `Jehovah cause His face to shine upon thee, and favour thee; <sup>26</sup> `Jehovah lift up His countenance upon thee, and appoint for thee—peace. ²⁷ `And they have put My name upon the sons of Israel, and I—I do bless them.'

¹⁹ having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them—to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days—till the full end of the age.'

¹⁶ and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace; ¹⁷ for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'

¹⁴ but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst—to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'

³⁸ he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

¹⁵ `If ye love me, my commands keep, ¹⁶ and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you—to the age; ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.

⁷ to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ!

⁵ and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.

⁹ And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ—this one is not His;

¹⁴ for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God; ¹⁵ for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba—Father.' ¹⁶ The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
¹⁷ and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

³⁹ nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²³ salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother,

²⁷ to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him be glory to the ages. Amen.

¹³ for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,

¹⁶ since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not known?

²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with you;

⁹ for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor—being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

²² And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

¹⁸ because through him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit unto the Father.

²² in whom also ye are builded together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

⁹ for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,

¹ If, then, any exhortation is in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

³ that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;

¹⁶ in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

²⁴ and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.

²¹ yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ—to life age-during;

⁴ John to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his blood,
