¹⁵ And to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his personal ability, and straightaway he journeyed. ¹⁶ And having departed, the man who received the five talents worked with them, and made five other talents. ¹⁷ And likewise also the man of the two gained two others. ¹⁸ But having departed, the man who received the one dug in the ground, and hid his lord's silver. ¹⁹ Now after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes, and takes up accounting with them. ²⁰ And having come, the man who received the five talents brought five other talents, saying, Lord, thou delivered five talents to me, lo, I have gained five other talents besides them. ²¹ And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord. ²² And also having come, the man who received the two talents said, Lord, thou delivered two talents to me, lo, I have gained two other talents besides them. ²³ His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord. ²⁴ And the man who received the one talent also having come, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou are a hard man, reaping where thou did not sow, and gathering from where thou did not scatter. ²⁵ And after being afraid, having gone, I hid thy talent in the ground. Lo, thou have thine own. ²⁶ But having answered, his lord said to him, Thou evil and lazy bondman, thou knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather from where I did not scatter. ²⁷ Thou ought therefore to have placed my silver with the bankers, and having come I would have received back my own with interest. ²⁸ Take ye therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents. ²⁹ For to every man who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him. ³⁰ And cast ye the unprofitable bondman into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

¹³ And having called ten of his bondmen, he gave them ten minas and said to them, Do business until I come.

¹⁷ Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he brought money to them,

⁶ And Paul having laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues, and prophesied.

⁶ And having different gifts according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, according to the proportion of faith; ⁷ or service, in the service; or he who teaches, in the teaching; ⁸ or he who exhorts, in the exhortation; he who gives, in simplicity; he who leads, in diligence; he who does mercy, in cheerfulness.

¹⁹ Do not quench the Spirit.

¹⁴ Do not neglect the gift in thee, which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

¹⁴ Remind them of these things, solemnly testifying in the sight of the Lord, not to brawl verbally, to nothing useful, to the ruin of those who hear.

² preach the word, stand ready in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

² of doctrine of washings, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

¹⁰ As each has received a gift, serving it for yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. ¹¹ If any man speaks, as oracles of God. If any man serves, as of ability as God supplies. So that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the dominion into the ages of the ages. Truly.

¹² Therefore I will not neglect to always remind you about these things, although having known them, and having been established in the present truth.

¹ I write to you now this second letter, beloved, in which I arouse your sincere mind by a reminder,

⁵ Now I want to remind you, ye having known this once, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

⁸⁰ Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes that I be not put to shame.

⁷ He lays up sound wisdom for the upright, a shield to those who walk in integrity,

¹⁴ Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge. I am understanding, I have might.

⁸ But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.

⁶ Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says LORD of hosts.

³⁵ And they came out to see what happened. And they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons had gone out, sitting near the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.

¹⁷ But when he came to himself, he said, How many hired men of my father's have abundance of loaves, but I am perishing with hunger.

⁴⁹ And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you. But stay ye in the city until ye are clothed with power from on high.

²⁷ Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be cowardly.

⁸ But ye will receive the power of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you. And ye will be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and as far as of the extremity of the earth.

⁸ And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

²² But Saul was strengthened more, and was confounding the Jews who dwell at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

³⁸ Jesus of Nazareth-how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who passed through doing good, and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.

²⁴ But I make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify the good news of the grace of God.

¹³ And Paul answered, What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I fare ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹¹ And punishing them often at all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And being extraordinarily furious toward them, I persecuted them even as far as to outside cities.

²⁵ But Paul says, I am not mad, eminent Festus, but I speak forth sayings of truth and soberness.

⁵ And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that was given to us.

¹⁵ For ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

⁴ And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

¹³ For whether we are beside ourselves to God, or we are of normal mind, it is for you. ¹⁴ For the love of Christ holds us together, having judge this, that if one died for all, then all died.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

⁸ the man who also made clear to us your love in spirit.

¹⁵ And he might liberate these, as many as throughout all their lifetime were deserving of bondage, with a specter of death.

¹⁸ Fear is not in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear holds punishment, and he who is afraid has not been fully perfected in love.

⁷ The law of LORD is perfect, restoring the soul. The testimony of LORD is sure, making a simple man wise.

⁴⁶ I also will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and shall not be put to shame.

²⁰ Seek to the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

⁷ Hearken to me, ye who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Fear ye not the reproach of men, nor be ye dismayed at their revilings.

³⁸ For whoever may be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy agents.

²⁶ For whoever may be ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of this man when he comes in his glory, and of the Father, and of the holy agents.

²⁷ And ye also testify, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

³⁵ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. And that man knows that he speaks true, so that ye may believe.

⁴¹ Indeed therefore they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to be treated shamefully for the name of Jesus.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the good news of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to every man who believes, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

¹⁷ And if children, also heirs, heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer jointly, so that we may also be glorified jointly. ¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not comparable to the glory that is going to be revealed for us.

³⁶ Just as it is written, For thy sake we are killed the whole day long. We are considered as sheep of slaughter.

³³ just as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And every man who believes in him will not be shamed.

²⁵ Now to him who is able to establish you according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to a revelation of the mystery that has been kept secret for eternal times,

⁶ Just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

⁹ For I think God has exhibited us the apostles least, as men sentenced to die, because we became a spectacle to the world, both to agents and to men. ¹⁰ We are foolish for the sake of Christ, but ye are wise in Christ. We are weak, but ye are strong. Ye are esteemed, but we are disreputable. ¹¹ As far as the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are ill clothed, and are treated roughly, and are homeless. ¹² And we toil, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; ¹³ being slandered, we entreat. We became as trash of the world, an offscouring of all things, until now.

⁷ in word of truth, in power of God, through the weapons of righteousness of the right hand and of the left,

²³ Are they helpers of Christ? (I speak as being mad) I more: in toils, more abundantly; in stripes, countless; in prisons, more frequently; in deaths often. ²⁴ From the Jews five times I received forty save one. ²⁵ Thrice I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I was shipwrecked, I have done a night and a day in the depth, ²⁶ in frequent journeys, in perils of flowing waters, in perils of bandits, in perils from my race, in perils from Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils at sea, in perils among false brothers, ²⁷ in toil and hardship, in frequent sleeplessness, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fasts, in cold and nakedness.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my power is made fully perfect in weakness. More gladly therefore I will boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of the Christ may reside in me. ¹⁰ Therefore I am pleased in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in restrictions, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

¹ For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

¹³ Therefore I ask that ye not become discouraged at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.

¹ I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, call on you to walk worthily of the calling in which ye were called,

¹⁷ This I say therefore, and solemnly declare in the Lord, for you to walk no longer as also the other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

⁷ Just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good news, you all being partners with me of the grace.

¹⁰ to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the participation of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

¹³ I can do all things in the Christ who strengthens me.

¹¹ being strengthened in every ability, according to the dominion of his glory, for all perseverance and longsuffering with joy.

²⁴ I now rejoice in sufferings for you, and make complete in my flesh things lacking of the afflictions of the Christ for his body, which is the church.

⁴ For also when we were with you we foretold you that we were going to be oppressed, just as it also happened, and ye know.

⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony for their own times.

¹⁶ May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain.

³ Thou therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

⁹ within which I suffer evil to the point of bonds as an evildoer, but the word of God is not bound.

¹¹ Faithful is the saying, For if we die together, we will also live together. ¹² If we endure, we will also reign together. If we renounce him, that man will also renounce us.

⁵ But be thou sober in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, bring thy ministry to fullness.

¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.

⁵ men being kept by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹³ But rejoice in so far as ye are partakers in the sufferings of the Christ, so that also at the revealing of his glory ye may rejoice, having exceeding joy. ¹⁴ Blessed are ye if ye are reviled for the name of Christ, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. From them he is indeed blasphemed, but from you he is glorified. ¹⁵ For let not any man of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a busybody.

¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son, a Savior of the world.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to keep them non-stumbling, and to present before his glory, unblemished in gladness,

² who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he saw.

⁹ I John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance in Christ Jesus, happened to be on the isle that is called Patmos because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. And they loved not their life to the point of death.

¹⁰ And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, See thou not. I am a fellow bondman of thee and thy brothers, those who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

⁷ LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people, for ye were the fewest of all peoples, ⁸ but because LORD loves you. And because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

²⁶ This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. ²⁷ For LORD of hosts has purposed, and who shall annul it? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

²¹ And she will bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS, for he will save his people from their sins.

²⁵ Jesus having responded at that time, said, I extol thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because thou hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to the childlike. ²⁶ Yea, Father, because this way it was done pleasing in thy sight.

²¹ In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit, and said, I thank thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, that thou hid these things from the wise and astute, and revealed them to the childlike. Yea, Father, because it became pleasing this way in thy sight.

³⁷ All that the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will, no, not cast out.

²⁸ And I give them eternal life, and they will, no, not perish into the age, and not any will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father who has given to me, is greater than all, and not one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand.

⁹ I pray about them. I do not pray about the world, but about whom thou have given me, because they are for thee.

²⁴ Father, whom thou gave to me, I desire that where I am, they also may be with me, so that they may see my glory that thou have given me, because thou loved me before the foundation of the world.

⁴⁷ praising God, and having favor with the whole populace. And the Lord was adding to the church daily those being saved.

¹⁸ Known to God from the age are all his works.

²⁰ Because from works of law no flesh will be made right before him, for through law is knowledge of sin.

²⁸ And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, who are the called according to purpose. ²⁹ Because whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be of similar nature of the form of his Son, in order for him to be the firstborn son among many brothers. ³⁰ And whom he predestined, these he also called, and whom he called, these he also made righteous, and whom he made righteous, these he also glorified. ³¹ What then will we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? ³² He who did not even spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also give us all things with him? ³³ Who will accuse against the chosen of God? God is he who makes righteous. ³⁴ Who is he who will condemn? It is Christ who died, but more, who also was raised up, who also is at the right hand of God, who also appeals for us. ³⁵ Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or restriction, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ Just as it is written, For thy sake we are killed the whole day long. We are considered as sheep of slaughter. ³⁷ But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor agents, nor principal positions, nor powers, nor things that have come, nor things that are coming, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹¹ (for not yet having been born, nor having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to selection might remain, not from works, but from him who calls),

²⁴ namely us whom he called, not only from Jews but also from Gentiles.

⁵ So then also at this present time there has become a remnant according to the selection of grace. ⁶ And if it is by grace, it is no longer from works, otherwise grace becomes no longer grace. But if it is from works it is no longer grace, otherwise work is no longer work.

¹⁸ For the message of the cross is of course foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is a power of God.

²¹ Therefore let not one man boast in men. For all things are yours, ²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours,

³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly things in Christ. ⁴ Just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and unblemished before him in love.

⁹ Having made known to us the mystery of his will according to his desire, which he purposed within himself

¹¹ in him in whom also we obtained an inheritance. Having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the deliberation of his will,

⁵ even us being dead in the transgressions, he made alive together with the Christ (ye are saved by grace),

⁸ For ye are saved by grace through faith, and this a gift of God, not from you, ⁹ not from works, so that not any man may boast.

¹¹ according to the purpose of the ages, which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

⁷ For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.

¹³ But we are indebted to express thanks to God always about you, brothers, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation, in sanctification of spirit and belief of truth, ¹⁴ for which he called you, through our good news, for an acquired possession of glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to a commandment of God our Savior, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

⁴ But when the kindness and philanthropy of God our Savior appeared, ⁵ he saved us, not of works in righteousness that we did, but according to his mercy through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

¹ Because of which, holy brothers, companions of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our affirmation, Jesus Christ,

¹⁵ but according to the Holy Man, he who called you, ye yourselves also become holy in all conduct, ¹⁶ because it is written, Become ye holy, since I am holy.

²⁰ who was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in the last times because of you:

⁹ But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for an acquired possession, so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

²⁰ For what kind of credit is it, if, sinning and being beaten, ye will endure? But if, doing good and suffering, ye will endure, this is graciousness with God. ²¹ For ye were called for this. Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that ye should follow his footsteps.

⁸ And all who dwell upon the earth will worship it, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who was killed from the foundation of the world.

⁸ The beast that thou saw was, and is not, and is going to ascend out of the abyss and go into destruction. And those who dwell on the earth will wonder, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will come.

⁷ And he will destroy on this mountain the face of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. ⁸ He will swallow up death in victory, and the lord LORD will wipe away tears from off all faces. And he will take away the reproach of his people from off all the earth. For LORD has spoken it.

³ For I am LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior. I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead.

¹⁵ Verily thou are a God who hides thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior.

²¹ Declare ye, and bring it forth. Yea, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Have not I, LORD? And there is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is none besides me.

² For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples. But LORD will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. ³ And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

¹⁴ I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. O death, where are thy plagues? O Sheol, where is thy sting? Repentance shall be hid from my eyes.

¹¹ because to you was born today in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ Lord.

³¹ which thou prepared toward the face of all the peoples: ³² a light for enlightenment of Gentiles, and glory of thy people Israel.

³⁶ If therefore thy whole body is bright, not having any part dark, the whole will be bright, as when the lamp illuminates thee by the radiance.

⁷ And he said to the vine workman, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none. Cut it down, why also waste the ground?

⁹ He was the true light coming into the world that enlightens every man.

⁴² And they said to the woman, We no longer believe because of thy speaking, for we have heard ourselves, and know that this really is the Savior of the world, the Christ.

²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. ²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice, ²⁹ and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment.

⁴⁰ And ye will not come to me, so that ye may have life.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even though he died, he will live. ²⁶ And every man who lives and believes in me will, no, not die, into the age. Do thou believe this?

⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, except by me.

³¹ But these are written, so that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.

³¹ God exalted this man with his right hand, a Pathfinder and a Savior to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.

²³ From this man's seed according to promise, God brought salvation to Israel,

⁷ to those who indeed seek by perseverance of good work, glory and esteem and immortality-eternal life-

³¹ Do we then make law void through faith? May it not happen! Instead, we establish law.

¹⁷ For if, by the offense of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ So then, as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men, so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men.

⁶ Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be inactivated, no longer to enslave us to sin.

²⁶ but that was now revealed, and by prophetic scriptures, according to a commandment of the eternal God that was made known to all the nations for obedience of faith,

⁵ Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make public the deliberations of the hearts. And then praise will come to each man from God.

²⁶ The last enemy abolished is death.

⁵³ For this perishable must put on imperishability, and this mortal put on immortality. ⁵⁴ But when this perishable will have put on imperishability, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written, Death was swallowed up in victory. ⁵⁵ O death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory?

⁴ For also those who are in the tent groan, being burdened, not in that we want to undress, but to clothe ourselves, so that the mortal may be swallowed up by the life.

⁴ Ye were discharged from the Christ, ye who are made righteous by law. Ye have fallen from grace.

¹⁸ having the eyes of your heart enlightened. For you to know what is the hope of his calling, and what is the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in the sanctified,

²⁶ the mystery that was hidden from the ages and from the generations, but has now been made known to his sanctified. ²⁷ To whom God wanted to make known what is the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

⁸ And then the lawless will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will neutralize at the appearance of his coming.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life in Christ Jesus,

³ but in his own times he made known his word by preaching, which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior, ⁴ to Titus, a genuine child according to the common faith: Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

¹¹ For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men,

¹³ Awaiting the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

⁴ But when the kindness and philanthropy of God our Savior appeared,

¹⁴ Since therefore the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might make him who has the power of death impotent, that is, the devil. ¹⁵ And he might liberate these, as many as throughout all their lifetime were deserving of bondage, with a specter of death.

³² But remember the former days, in which, after being enlightened, ye endured a great contest of sufferings,

²⁰ who was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in the last times because of you: ²¹ men who, because of him, believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, in order for your faith and hope to be in God;

¹ Simon Peter, a bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

³ as all things of his divine power to us, things toward life and piety, which were granted through the knowledge of him who called us through glory and virtue.

¹¹ For so the entrance will be furnished to you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

²⁰ For if, having escaped the defilements of the world by knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and, having been again entangled in these, they are overcome, the last things have become worse for them than the first.

² to remember the sayings that were earlier spoken by the holy prophets, and of the command of your apostles of the Lord and Savior.

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him is the glory both now and into the day of the age. Truly.

² (and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us),

⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who overcomes, I will give him to eat from the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of my God.

¹ And after these things I saw another agent coming down out of heaven having great authority, and the earth was illuminated from his glory.

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

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb, ² in the middle of its thoroughfare. And on this side of the river and on that was a tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

¹⁴ Blessed are those doing his commandments, so that their right will be to the tree of life, and they may enter in the gates into the city.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he who hears, let him say, Come. And he who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

¹⁵ But the Lord said to him, Go, because this man is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before Gentiles and kings, and sons of Israel.

⁷ Of which I became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power. ⁸ To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ,

⁷ desiring to be law teachers, understanding neither what they say, nor about what they confidently assert.

⁷ For which I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie), a teacher of Gentiles in faith and truth.

¹⁰ And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek thee.

² O my God, in thee I have trusted. Let me not be put to shame. Let not my enemies triumph over me.

⁵ Into thy hand I commend my spirit. Thou have redeemed me, O LORD, thou God of truth.

⁹ Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. This I know, that God is for me.

² Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid, for LORD, even LORD, is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation.

⁷ For the lord LORD will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.

⁴ Fear not, for thou shall not be ashamed. Neither be thou confounded, for thou shall not be put to shame. For thou shall forget the shame of thy youth. And the reproach of thy widowhood thou shall remember no more.

⁷ LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knows those who take refuge in him.

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?

²¹ And in his name Gentiles will hope.

³⁶ But about that day and hour no man knows, not even the agents of the heavens, except my Father only.

¹² I say to you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

⁴⁶ And Jesus, having sounded out in a great voice, said, Father, into thy hands I entrust my spirit. And having said these things, he expired.

³⁹ And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that he has given me I would not lose from it, but I will raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ And this is the will of him who sent me, that every man who sees the Son, and believes in him, may have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

²⁸ And I give them eternal life, and they will, no, not perish into the age, and not any will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father who has given to me, is greater than all, and not one is able to snatch out of my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one.

¹¹ And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name that thou have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we. ¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Whom thou gave to me, I kept, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of destruction, so that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹⁵ I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, who was calling and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

¹⁶ For I will give him a glimpse of how many things it is necessary for him to suffer for my name.

⁴⁶ But having spoken boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you, but since ye thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁵⁰ But the Jews incited the religious women, and the prominent women, and the principle men of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they threw them out of their boundaries.

⁵ And as a violent movement developed, both of the Gentiles and of the Jews, with their rulers, to denounce and to stone them, ⁶ having become aware of it, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the neighboring region.

²⁷ And when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people and threw hands on him, ²⁸ crying out, Men, Israelites, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. And besides he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place. ²⁹ For they were men who saw Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul brought into the temple. ³⁰ And the whole city was moved, and there developed a running together of the people. And having taken Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and straightaway the doors were shut. ³¹ And while seeking to kill him, a report went up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem has been stirred up.

²¹ And he said to me, Depart, because I will send thee far away to Gentiles. ²² And they heard him until this word. And they lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a man from the earth, for he is not fit to live. ²³ And of them crying out, and throwing off their garments, and casting dust into the air, ²⁴ the chief captain commanded him be brought into the fort, having said to examine him by scourging, so that he might know for what reason they shouted against him this way.

⁴ and perseverance, character, and character, hope. ⁵ And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that was given to us.

¹² And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope. ¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, for ye to abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.

¹³ each man's work will become manifest. For the day will make it known, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire will test each man's work of what kind it is.

¹² for us to be for appreciation of his glory, men who have first hoped in the Christ. ¹³ In whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the good news of your salvation, in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

¹ For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles, ² since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God, which was given to me for you, ³ that according to revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. ⁴ With which reading ye can recognize my understanding in the mystery of the Christ, ⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets. ⁶ For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good news.

²⁰ according to my eager expectation and hope that I will be shamed in nothing. But with all boldness, now as always, Christ will also be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.

⁸ But indeed therefore I even consider all things to be loss because of things surpassing, of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered the loss of all things, and consider them to be rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,

²¹ who will transform the body of our lowliness, in order for it to become similar in form to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power even to subject all things to himself.

¹⁶ Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles so that they might be saved, in order to fill up their sins always. But wrath came upon them finally.

⁴ But ye, brothers, are not in darkness, so that the day would seize you as a thief.

²⁰ O Timothy, keep the entrustment, avoiding the profane babblings and objections of the falsely-called knowledge,

⁸ Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner, but suffer together with the good news according to the power of God.

¹⁸ (may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day), and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou know very well.

¹⁰ But thou have closely followed my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, ¹¹ persecutions, sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra. I endured such persecutions, and the Lord rescued me out of them all. ¹² And also all those who want to live devoutly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

⁸ Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

¹⁶ At my first defense no man came with me, but all forsook me. May it not be reckoned to them. ¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁸ For in that he himself has suffered, having been tempted, he is able to help those being tempted.

²⁵ Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf.

² Looking to Jesus the pathfinder and perfecter of the faith, who, against the joy set before him, endured a cross, having despised the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁶ But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this regard.

¹⁹ Therefore also let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls as to a faithful Creator by well-doing.

¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her. And happy is everyone who retains her.

²¹ My son, let them not depart from thine eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,

⁴ And he taught me, and said to me, Let thy heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live. ⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding. Do not forget, nor decline from the words of my mouth. ⁶ Do not forsake her, and she will preserve thee. Love her, and she will keep thee. ⁷ Wisdom is the principal thing. Get wisdom, yea, with all thy getting get understanding. ⁸ Exalt her, and she will promote thee. She will bring thee to honor when thou embrace her.

¹³ Take firm hold of instruction. Do not let her go. Keep her, for she is thy life.

²³ Buy the truth, and do not sell it, yea, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

²⁰ a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the childlike, having in the law the essence of knowledge and truth,

¹⁷ But thanks to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered.

²⁷ Only be citizens worthy of the good news of the Christ, so that, whether having come and having seen you or being absent, I may hear things about you that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the good news.

⁹ And what ye learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and the love toward all the sanctified,

²¹ but examine all things. Hold firm the good.

¹⁰ for fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine

¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord was filled to overflowing with the faith and love in Christ Jesus.

³ If any man teaches something different, and does not associate with wholesome words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine according to piety,

¹⁴ Guard the good consignment through the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.

² And what thou have heard from me through many witnesses, these things commit thou to faithful men who will be competent to teach others also.

¹⁴ But continue thou in what thou learned and were convinced of, knowing from whom thou learned them.

⁹ holding firm the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may also be able to exhort by the sound doctrine, and to correct those who contradict.

¹ But speak thou the things that are fitting for the sound doctrine.

⁸ sound speech, irreproachable, so that the man of opposition may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

⁶ but Christ as a Son over his house, whose house we are, if only we keep in possession our confidence and pride of hope, firm until the end.

¹⁴ Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us take hold of the affirmation.

²³ Let us hold firm the affirmation of the hope unwavering, for he who promised is faithful.

³ Beloved, making all diligence to write to you about the common salvation, I had need to write to you exhorting you to earnestly contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the sanctified.

²⁵ But hold firm what ye have until I come.

³ Remember therefore how thou have received and heard, and be on guard, and repent. If therefore thou will not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou will, no, not know what hour I will come upon thee.

¹¹ I come quickly, hold firm what thou have, so that none may take thy crown.

¹¹ If therefore ye did not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true?

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it does not see nor know it. But ye know it, because it dwells with you, and will be in you.

² Much every way. First, because they were indeed entrusted with the oracles of God.

⁹ But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, this man is not of him.

¹¹ But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.

¹³ For if ye live according to flesh, ye are going to die, but if in spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye will live.

¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

¹⁹ Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own,

¹⁷ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission.

¹⁶ So that henceforth we know no man according to flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know him no longer.

¹⁹ How that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ We are therefore, ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were calling through us. We plead on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

⁷ but to the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the good news for men of uncircumcision, as Peter for men of circumcision

²² in whom ye also are built together in Spirit into a habitation of God.

¹⁸ And do not become intoxicated with wine, during which is debauchery, but be filled in Spirit,

¹¹ and Jesus who is called Justus, these being the only fellow workmen from the circumcision for the kingdom of God, men who became a comfort to me.

¹¹ according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, of which I was entrusted.

⁶ But having passed through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

¹⁰ And this happened for two years, so as for all those dwelling in Asia to hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

²⁷ And not only is this our part liable to come into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis is going to be regarded for nothing, and also her magnificence be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.

³¹ And also some of the Asian officers, being their friends, having sent to him, implored him not to give himself into the theatre.

¹⁶ For Paul determined to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not happen to lose time in Asia. For he was hastening, if it were possible, for him to become at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

¹⁹ The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the congregation associated with their house.

²¹ For they all seek the things of themselves, not the things of Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ for Demas forsook me having loved the present age, and he went to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. ¹¹ Only Luke is with me. Having taken Mark, bring him with thee, for he is useful to me for service.

¹⁶ At my first defense no man came with me, but all forsook me. May it not be reckoned to them.

¹⁹ Remember to me, O my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.

¹⁴ Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the observances of it.

²² And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember to me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy loving kindness.

³¹ and for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

²⁵ With the merciful thou will show thyself merciful. With the perfect man thou will show thyself perfect.

²⁶ All the day long he deals graciously, and lends, and his seed is blessed.

⁷ Blessed are the merciful, because they will obtain mercy.

⁴¹ He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. ⁴² And whoever may give to drink one of these little ones merely a cold cup in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you he will, no, not lose his reward.

³⁵ For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat. I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink. I was a stranger, and ye took me in, ³⁶ naked, and ye clothed me. I was feeble, and ye came to help me. I was in prison, and ye came to me. ³⁷ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and fed thee, or thirsting, and gave thee drink? ³⁸ And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in, or naked, and clothed thee? ³⁹ And when did we see thee weak, or in prison, and came to thee? ⁴⁰ And having answered, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brothers, the least, ye did it to me.

²⁰ Because of this reason therefore I summoned you to see and to speak with me, for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

¹⁸ For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge ye such men.

¹² Because the service of this ministry is not only supplying the needs of the sanctified, but also abounding through many thanksgivings to God ¹³ through the evidence of this service, glorifying God at the subjection of your confession toward the good news of the Christ, and at the generosity of the participation, for them and for all, ¹⁴ and by their supplication about you, yearning for you because of the transcending grace of God in you.

²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in bondage, so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
