¹⁶ And he fell on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said: Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were there none found to return and give glory to God, but this one of another race?

²⁰ And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God comes not so as to attract attention; ²¹ nor shall it be said, Lo here! or Lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is among you.

⁹ And he spoke this parable to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and who despised others. ¹⁰ Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. ¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

¹⁸ And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

²² When Jesus heard this, he said to him: One thing you yet lack; sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

³¹ And he took the twelve aside, and said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.:

⁹ And Jesus said to him: To-day has salvation come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.

²⁸ And when he had said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.

¹⁷ and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. ¹⁸ Yet a hair of your head shall not perish.

³⁴ And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts become heavy with reveling and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day come upon you when you look not for it.

³⁵ And he said to them: When I sent you without purse and bag and sandals, did you need any thing? They replied: Nothing.

¹⁸ No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has revealed him.

³ Jesus answered and said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God.

⁵ Jesus answered: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God.

⁵ Jesus answered: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is begotten of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is begotten of the Spirit, is spirit.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

⁹ Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.)

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him, shall never thirst. But the water that I will give him, shall be in him a fountain of water springing up in order to eternal life.

³⁵ Do you not say, There are yet four months, and harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, for they are already white for the harvest. ³⁶ And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for life eternal; that he that sows, and he that reaps, may rejoice together. ³⁷ For in this is the saying true, One sows and another reaps. ³⁸ I have sent you to reap that on which you bestowed no labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.

²² For the Father judges no one, but has given all judicial authority to the Son;

²² For the Father judges no one, but has given all judicial authority to the Son; ²³ that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him.

²³ that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Verily, verily I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into condemnation, but has passed from death into life.

²⁴ Verily, verily I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear, shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son also to have life in himself; ²⁷ and he has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

²⁷ Labor not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to life eternal, which the Son of man will give you; for him has God the Father at tested.

⁴⁴ no man can come to me, unless the Father, who sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the- prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hears from the Father, and learns, comes to me. ⁴⁶ Not that any one has seen the Father, but he who is from God; he has seen the Father.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered, and said to him: Do we not well say that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?

⁵⁶ Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he could see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.

¹² But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, to whom the sheep do not belong, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep, and scatters them.

¹⁵ As the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

²⁷ my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: ²⁸ and I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall take them out of my hand.

¹ Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

¹ Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and Martha her sister. ² It was the Mary that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. ⁴ But when Jesus heard it, he said: This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that by it the Son of God may be glorified. ⁵ Now, Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

¹⁹ And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰ Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet him; but Mary sat still in the house.

⁴¹ Then they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted -up his eyes and said: Father, I thank thee, that thou hast heard me.

¹ Then, six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead. ² There they made him a supper, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him. ³ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the perfume of the ointment.

³ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the perfume of the ointment.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now is the prince of this world cast out.

⁴⁴ Jesus cried, and said: He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me.

⁴⁸ He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has that which judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had delivered all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going to God,

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that you also may do as I have done for you. ¹⁶ Verily, verily I say to you, the servant is not greater than his master, nor is he that is sent greater than he that sent him. ¹⁷ If you know these things, blessed are you, if you do them.

²⁰ Verily, verily I say to you, he that receives him that I shall send, receives me; and he that receives me, receives him that sent me.

²⁰ Remember the word which I spoke to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He that hates me, hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works that no other man has done, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen, and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ But this is so, that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

² They will put you out of the synagogues; in deed, the time is coming, when he that kills you, will think that he is offering service to God.

¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

² as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all that thou hast given him. ³ And this is life eternal, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent.

⁵ And now, Father, glorify me with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

¹⁰ And all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.

²⁴ Father, I wish that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me; for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵ Righteous Father, though the world has not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ And I have made known to them thy name, and will continue to make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

²⁶ And I have made known to them thy name, and will continue to make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

⁴ While it remained unsold, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you purposed this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.

⁴ Then they that were dispersed went everywhere preaching the word.

² and asked of him letters to Damascus, for the synagogues, that, if he should find any who were of this persuasion, either men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

¹⁶ For I will show him what great things he must suffer for my name.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all,)

¹⁹ Now those who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose after the death of Stephen, traveled as far as Phenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews.

² And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to the work to which I have called them.

² And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to the work to which I have called them. ³ Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. ⁴ Therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed to Cyprus.

⁴ Therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed to Cyprus.

²⁶ Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

⁴⁰ Take heed, therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets come upon you:

⁴⁶ But Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said: It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first: but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to tho Gentiles.

⁵¹ But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.

⁹ And, during the night, a vision appeared to Paul. A certain man of Macedonia stood and besought him, saying: Come over to Macedonia and help us. ¹⁰ After he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.

¹⁵ And when she and her household had been immersed, she be sought us, saying: If you judge me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and make it your home. And she con strained us.

³⁰ and, having brought them out, he said: Sirs, what must I do to be saved? ³¹ They replied: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you and your house shall be saved.

³⁴ And he brought them into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God, with all his house.

⁴⁰ And having come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

⁶ But when they set themselves in opposition, and reviled, he shook his clothing, and said to them: Your blood be upon your own head; I am clean. Henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

¹⁷ And all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallic cared for none of these things.

²⁸ Therefore, take heed to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, that you be shepherds to the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood. ²⁹ For I know this, that, after my departure, rapacious wolves will enter in among you, who will not spare the flock;

³ I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, yet educated in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, and instructed according to the strict discipline of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, as you all are this day.

²¹ And he said to me, Depart, for I will send you far off to the Gentiles.

¹⁵ And I said, Who art thou, Lord? He replied, I am Jesus, whom you persecute. ¹⁶ But arise, and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness of the things which you have seen, and of those in which I will appear to you, ¹⁷ delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom now I send you, ¹⁸ in order to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among the sanctified, by faith in me.

⁵ Then he shook the reptile from him into the fire, and suffered no harm.

⁷ Among the estates about that place were those of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius, who took us to his house, and, for three days, entertained us kindly. ⁸ And it happened that the father of Publius was lying sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul went in to him, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and restored him to health. ⁹ Therefore, after this had been clone, the rest also in the island who had dis eases, came and were cured. ¹⁰ And they also honored us with many honors; and, when we put to sea, they supplied us with such things as we needed.

²⁵ And not agreeing among themselves, they departed, after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak to our fathers by Isaiah the prophet, ²⁶ saying: Go to this people and say, You shall surely hear, but you will not understand; and you shall surely see, but you will not perceive. ²⁷ For the heart of this people has become fat, and with their ears they hear heavily, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I should restore them to health. ²⁸ Therefore, be it known to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.

²⁸ Therefore, be it known to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.

³¹ preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all boldness and without hinderance.

¹ For which reason, you are without excuse, man, who ever you are, that judge; for in that in which you judge an other, you condemn yourself; for you who judge, practice the same things.

²⁷ And shall not he whose want of circumcision is owing to his birth, if he keeps the law, condemn you, who, by the literal circumcision, transgress the law?

¹⁹ Now we know that what the law says, it speaks- to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become guilty before God.

² For if Abraham was. justified by works, he has cause for boasting, but not before God.

¹⁴ For if they that are of the law be heirs, the faith is made powerless, and the promise is unmeaning; ¹⁵ for the law inflicts punishment; for where no law is, there is no transgression. ¹⁶ Therefore, the inheritance is by faith, that it may be according to grace, in order that the promise may be sure to all his posterity, not to those only who are of the law, but to those, also, who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

³¹ What, then, shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? ³² He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not with him also freely give us all things? ³³ "Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. ³⁴ Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died: rather, indeed, that has risen, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? Shall affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword? ³⁶ As it is written: For thy sake, we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷ Yet, in all these things, we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, ³⁹ nor hight, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. SECTION THIRD. God's Dealings with Israel as a People,

²⁹ And as Isaiah said before: Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a posterity, we should have been like Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah. ³⁰ What, then, shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not seek after justification, have obtained justification, even the justification which is by faith: ³¹ but Israel, who sought after a law of justification, has not attained to a law of justification. ³² And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as if by works of law: for they stumbled against that stone of stumbling, ³³ as it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense: and whoever believes on him, shall not be ashamed.

³ For being ignorant of God's plan of justification, and seeking to establish their own plan of justification, they have not submitted to God's plan of justification. ⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for justification, to every one that believes. ⁵ For Moses describes the justification which is by the law: That the man who does these things shall live by them.

⁸ But what says it? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach;

²¹ But with respect to Israel, he says: All day long have I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contradicting people.

⁸ as it is written: God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes with which they can not see, and ears with which they can not hear. ⁹ And David says: Let their table become a trap, and a net, and a snare, and a recompense to them; ¹⁰ let their eyes be darkened, so that they may not see, and let them bow down their back always. ¹¹ I say, then, Have they stumbled, in order that they may fall? It can not be. But rather, through their fall, salvation has come to the Gentiles, to excite them to jealousy.

²⁰ If, therefore, your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by doing this, you will heap coals of fire on his head.

⁹ For these commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not indulge evil desire; and if there is any other commandment, all are summed up in this saying, namely: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

²⁰ The God of peace will soon bruise Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you

²³ Gains, my host, and the host of the whole church, salutes you. Erastus the treasurer of the city, and Quartus, my brother, salute you.

⁹ God is faithful, by whom you have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now, I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you, but that you be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment. ¹¹ For it has been made known to me concerning you, my brethren, by the family of Cloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² I mean this: that each one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. ¹³ Is the Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you immersed into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ that no one may say that I immersed into my own name. ¹⁶ I did, in deed, immerse the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I immersed any other. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of the Christ should be deprived of its power. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will set aside the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of- this world? ²¹ For, since in the wisdom of God, the world, by its wisdom, knew not God, it has pleased God, through the foolishness of what is preached, to save those who believe. ²² For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek for wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks, foolishness: ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble call you; ²⁷ but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may bring to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen, that he may put to shame the strong; ²⁸ and the ignoble things of the world, and the things that are despised, has God chosen, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are; ²⁹ that no flesh should glory in his presence.

⁶ Yet we speak wisdom among the perfect; but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are brought to nought: ⁷ but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, even that which had been hidden, which God predestined before the ages, for our glory, ⁸ which none of the rulers of this age knew; for, had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered: but God made to grow. ⁷ So, neither he that plants nor he that waters is any thing: but God that makes to grow. ⁸ But he that plants and he that waters are one; and each one shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor. ⁹ For we are fellow-laborers for God: you are God's field, you are God's building.

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself: if any one among you is considered as wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written: He takes the wise in their own craftiness. ²⁰ And again: The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

³² But I would have you to be without anxiety. The unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

³² But I would have you to be without anxiety. The unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord: ³³ but he that is married, is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

³³ but he that is married, is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife. ³⁴ There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and in spirit; but she that is married, is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

³⁴ There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and in spirit; but she that is married, is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. ³⁵ I speak this for your own profit; not that I would entangle you, but that you may decorously and devotedly wait upon the Lord, without distraction.

³⁵ I speak this for your own profit; not that I would entangle you, but that you may decorously and devotedly wait upon the Lord, without distraction. ³⁶ But if any man thinks he would treat his virgin daughter amiss, should she pass the bloom of life, and it is necessary that it should be so, let him do as he pleases, he does not sin; let them (the suitor and the daughter) marry. ³⁷ But he that stands firm in his purpose, having no necessity to give his daughter in marriage, but has liberty with respect to his own will, and has thus decided in his own heart, that he will keep his daughter a virgin, does well. ³⁸ So then, even he that gives her in marriage, does well; but he that gives her not in marriage, does better. ³⁹ The wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband die, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But she is happier, in my judgment, if she remains as she is; and I think that I have, also, the Spirit of God.

⁴ Have we not the right to eat and drink? ⁵ Have we not the right to lead about a sister wife, as the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? ⁶ Or, have I only, and Barnabas, no right to leave off working? ⁷ What man ever serves as a soldier, at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and eats not of its fruit? Or who tends a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock? ⁸ Do I speak these things as a man? Or does not the law, also, say the same? ⁹ For it is written in the law of Moses: You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the grain? Has God a care for oxen? ¹⁰ or does he say it wholly for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, it was written: that he that plows should plow in hope, and that he that thrashes should thrash in hope of partaking. ¹¹ If we have sown, for your benefit, things that are spiritual, is it a great thing that we reap your carnal things? ¹² If others partake of this right over you, should not we rather? But we have not used this right: but we endure all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of the Christ. ¹³ Do you not know that those who are engaged about sacred rites have their living from the temple? and that those who attend upon the altar are partakers with the altar? ¹⁴ So, also, the Lord has ordained that those who preach the gospel should live by the gospel. ¹⁵ But I have availed myself of none of these things; nor do I write these things that it should be so done to me. For it would be better for me to die, than that any one should make my boasting vain.

²⁷ If any one of the unbelievers invites you to a feast, and you are disposed to go, eat any thing that is set before you, asking no questions for conscience sake.

²⁸ And God has placed some in the church, first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then mighty deeds; then gifts of healing; helps, governments, kinds of tongues.

² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. ³ And though I give all my goods to feed the poor, and though I deliver up my body to be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

³ And though I give all my goods to feed the poor, and though I deliver up my body to be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

¹⁰ But, by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace, which was bestowed on me, has not been bestowed in vain: but I have labored more abundantly than they all; not I, how ever, but the grace of God which was with me.

²⁴ Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down every principality and authority and power:

¹⁵ For, through God, we are a sweet odor of Christ, among the saved, and among the lost: ¹⁶ to the one, we are the odor of death ending in death; to the other, the odor of life ending in life: and who is sufficient for these things?

³ But if our gospel is vailed, it is vailed among the lost,

⁶ Because God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the person of Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ And all these things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ that is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to him self, not charging their offenses to them, and he has committed to us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ Therefore, we act as ambassadors for Christ, as though God entreated through us; we beseech in Christ's stead, be reconciled to God:

¹ As co-workers with him, we beseech you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain:

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet, for your sakes, he became poor, that you, through his poverty, might become rich.

¹¹ But that no one is justified by law in the sight of God, is evident: for the just by faith shall live. ¹² The law, indeed, is not of faith; but he that does these things shall live by them.

¹² The law, indeed, is not of faith; but he that does these things shall live by them. ¹³ Christ has bought us off from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us: (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:)

¹⁸ For if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise: but God bestowed it on Abraham by promise.

²¹ Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It can not be. For if a law had been given which could have given life, surely righteousness would have been by law. ²² But the scripture has shut up all under sin, that the promise by faith in Christ Jesus may be given to those who believe.

⁶ For, in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith that works by love.

¹³ For you have been called to freedom, brethren: only use not your freedom as an occasion for the flesh, but become servants to one another, through love.

⁶ Let him that is instructed in the word share with his instructor in all good things.

⁵ having predestinated us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,

¹¹ in him in whom we have obtained our portion, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,

²¹ high above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come;

² in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is actively at work in the sons of disobedience: ³ among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the feelings, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others:

¹⁷ and having come, he preached peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near:

¹⁸ that, being rooted and founded in love, you may be fully able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and hight, ¹⁹ and to know the love of the Christ that passes our knowledge, that you may be filled with aft the fullness of God.

⁷ But grace has been given to each one of us, according to the measure of the gift of the Christ. ⁸ For which reason, the scripture says: When he ascended on high, he led captive a multitude of captives, and gave gifts to men. ⁹ But this He ascended what does it mean, but that he also descended into the lower earthly regions? ¹⁰ He that descended is also he that ascended high above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. ¹¹ And he himself gave some to be apostles, and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; ¹² for the complete instruction of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of the Christ,

² and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave him self for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words: for on account of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

⁹ For which reason God has highly exalted him, and, also, bestowed on him a name that is above every name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those who are in heaven, and those who are on earth, and those who are under the earth; ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

²¹ for all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

²⁵ Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and companion in labor and fellow-soldier, but your apostle, who also ministered to my want,

³⁰ because for the work of the Christ he was near to death, not regarding his life, that he might supply that which was lacking in your service to me.

³ Now I beseech you also, true yoke-fellow, to assist those women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and my other fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

⁶ Be anxious about nothing, but in every thing, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God:

¹⁷ Not that I seek a gift; but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. ¹⁸ But I have all, and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus your gifts, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.

²⁹ to which end I also labor, striving according to his energy, which works in me mightily.

² that their hearts may be comforted, they being firmly united in love in order to gain all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may acknowledge the mystery of God, even the Father, and of Christ, ³ in whom are stored up all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.

¹⁰ And you are complete in him who is the head of all principality and authority: ¹¹ in whom you have been also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, ¹² when you were buried with him in immersion, in which you were also raised with him by your faith in the energy of God, who raised him from the dead. ¹³ And you, being dead to your offenses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has made alive together with him, having forgiven you all your offenses; ¹⁴ having blotted out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us, which was opposed to us, he also took it out of the way, driving a nail through it by means of his cross; ¹⁵ and having spoiled the principalities and authorities, he made a show of them openly by triumphing over them through it. ¹⁶ Let no one judge you, therefore, in meat or in drink, or in respect to a feast, or the new moon, or sabbaths, ¹⁷ which things are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is in Christ, ¹⁸ Let no one gain his purpose in depriving you of the palm by an affected humility and worship of angels, prying into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, ¹⁹ and not holding the head, from which the whole body gathering vigor, and firmly united by joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.

³ for you are dead, and your life is hid with the Christ in God. ⁴ When the Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.

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

⁹ For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for, laboring night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any one of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.

⁸ Therefore, he that despises, despises not man, but God, who has given us his Holy Spirit.

¹² Now we beseech you, brethren, to have regard for those who labor among you, and preside over you in the Lord, and admonish you,

¹⁵ See that no one render evil for evil to any, but always pursue that which is good toward one another and toward all.

¹ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified even as among you;

¹⁶ Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

¹² And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, because he counted me faithful, and put me into the ministry; ¹³ me, I say, who before was a reviler and a persecutor and an overbearing man. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief: ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord was very abundant with faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus.

² through the hypocrisy of liars, who are seared in their conscience,

¹⁰ for to this end we both labor, and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

¹⁵ Meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them, that your advancement may be manifest in all things. ¹⁶ Take heed to yourself, and to your teaching; continue in them; for by doing this, you will save both yourself, and those who hear you.

¹³ At the same time, also, they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which are not proper.

¹⁷ Let the elders who rule well, be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in word and teaching. ¹⁸ For the scripture says: You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the grain; and, The laborer is worthy of his hire.

³ Do you, there fore, suffer evil, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ Every one that serves as a soldier keeps himself free from the business of this life, that he may please him that has chosen him to be a soldier. ⁵ And if any one also contend in the public games, he is not crowned, unless he contend according to the laws. ⁶ It is necessary that, the farmer should labor, before he partakes of the fruits.

⁶ It is necessary that, the farmer should labor, before he partakes of the fruits.

² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

⁵ But do you be watchful in all things, endure evil, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.?

¹ PAUL, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy my brother, to Philemon my beloved, and our fellow-laborer,

³ who, being the effulgence of his glory and the exact representation of his essence, and upholding all things by his own powerful word, when he had by himself made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

⁸ thou hast put all things under his feet. For, in putting all things under him, he left nothing that is not put under him: but now we do not yet see all things put under him. ⁹ But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, that he might, by the grace of God, taste death for every man- we see him, on account of his having suffered death, crowned with glory and honor. ¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. ¹¹ For both he that sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all of one Father: for which reason, he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying: ¹² I will declare thy name among my brethren; in the midst of the assembly, will I sing hymns to thee. ¹³ And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold, I, and the children that God has given me. ¹⁴ Since, then, the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, partook of the same, that, through his death, he might deprive of power him that has the power of death, that is, the devil;

¹⁴ Since, then, the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, partook of the same, that, through his death, he might deprive of power him that has the power of death, that is, the devil; ¹⁵ and might set free those who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

⁶ but Christ, as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold the confidence and the joy of our hope firm to the end.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, says the Lord; putting my laws into their understanding, I will also write them upon their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people;

¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. and having embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners in the land.

³⁹ And all these, having obtained a good reputation by faith, received not the promise,

²³ to the general assembly and church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect,

⁵ Let there be no money-loving disposition; be content with such things as you have. For he has said: I will never leave you, nor will I ever forsake you. ⁶ So, then, we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man will do to me.

⁸ If, however, you fulfill the law of highest excellence, according to the scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well.

¹³ For he shall have judgment without mercy, who has shown no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment. ¹⁴ What profit is there, my brethren, if any one say he has faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and any of you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and be filled, and yet give them not the things that are needful for the body, what does this profit them?

²⁴ Do you see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only?

¹⁸ And those who cultivate peace, sow for themselves a harvest of righteousness in peace.

⁴ in respect to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for us, ⁵ who are kept secure by the power of God through faith, to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time:

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets that prophesied of the grace that should be for you, did inquire, and search diligently, ¹¹ inquiring what things, and what time, the Spirit of Christ that was in them did signify, when it testified, before hand, the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them; ¹² to whom it was revealed, that, not for themselves, but for us, they ministered the things that are now preached to you by those who have made known to you the gospel, through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; into which things angels desire to look.

¹⁴ as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires which you formerly had in your ignorance;

¹ Therefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings, ² as new-born babes, earnestly desire the pure spiritual milk, that you may grow by it,

²¹ To this, indeed, you have been called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his footsteps.

⁴ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and delivered them over to chains of darkness, to be kept for judgment;

⁸ He that works sin is of the devil, for the devil sins from the beginning: for this purpose was the son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

¹⁶ By this we know the love of Christ, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷ Whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother have need, and shuts his heart against him, how dwells the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.

²³ And this is his commandment: That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one an other, as he gave us commandment. ²⁴ And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.

¹⁰ In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given us eternal life: and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that has the Son, has life: he that has not the Son of God, has not life.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we may know him that is true: and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and life eternal. Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

⁹ Whoever transgresses, and abides not in the teaching of the Christ, has not God: he that abides in the teaching of the Christ, has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not wish him well:

⁵ Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do to the brethren, and to strangers, ⁶ who have testified to your love before the church: if you conduct these on their journey, in a manner worthy of God, you will do well: ⁷ for, on account of his name, they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles. ⁸ We, there fore, ought to receive such, that we may be fellow-helpers to the truth.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loves us, and that has washed us from our sins in his own blood,

¹ To the angel of the church in Ephesus, write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, that walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

⁵ He that overcomes, shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot his name out of the book of life: and I will con fess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

¹ And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss;

² But the court that is without the temple leave out, and measure it not: for it is given to the Gentiles, and the holy city they shall tread under foot forty-two months. ³ And I will give to my two witnesses, that they may prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

³ And I will give to my two witnesses, that they may prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

³ And I will give to my two witnesses, that they may prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. ⁴ These are the two olive trees, and the two lamps that stand before the -Lord of the earth. ⁵ And if any man will injure them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies; and if any one will injure them, he must be killed in this way.

⁵ And if any man will injure them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies; and if any one will injure them, he must be killed in this way. ⁶ These have authority to shut heaven, that it may not rain in the days of their prophecy; and they have authority over the waters, to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they wish. ⁷ And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. ⁸ And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which, spiritually, is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. ⁹ And some of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will see their dead bodies three days and a half, and will not suffer their dead bodies to be put into sepulchers. ¹⁰ And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and make merry, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwelt on the earth.

⁷ And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, ⁸ and prevailed not: nor was their place found any more in heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world, was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

⁸ And all that dwell upon the earth will worship him, those whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.

² And he laid hold of the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,

¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things that were written in the books, according to their works.

¹⁵ And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

²⁷ And there shall not enter it any thing unclean, or that does what is detestable, or that makes a lie: but those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
