¹ And when He had completed all His words in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum. ² And a certain servant of a centurion, who was valued highly to him, being sick, was about to die. ³ And having heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, begging Him that having come, He might save his servant. ⁴ And having come to Jesus, they were begging Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to whom You will grant this, ⁵ for he loves our nation, and he built the synagogue for us.” ⁶ And Jesus was going with them. And already, He being not far distant from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. ⁷ Therefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to You; but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. ⁸ For I also am a man appointed under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” ⁹ And Jesus having heard these things, marveled at him; and having turned to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel did I find such great faith.” ¹⁰ And having returned to the house, those having been sent found the servant in good health. ¹¹ And it came to pass on the next day, He went into a town called Nain, and His disciples were going with Him, and a great crowd. ¹² And as He drew near to the gate of the town, also behold, one having died was being carried out, the only begotten son of his mother; and she was a widow.

A reed shaken by the wind? ²⁵ But what have you gone out to see? A man arrayed in fine clothing? Behold, those in splendid clothing and living in luxury are in palaces. ²⁶ But what have you gone out to see? A prophet?

And she having known that He had reclined in the Pharisee’s house, having taken an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, ³⁸ and having stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with the tears, and she was wiping them with the hairs of her head, and was kissing His feet, and was anointing them with the fragrant oil. ³⁹ And the Pharisee, the one having invited Him, having seen, spoke within himself, saying, “If this were a prophet, He would have known who and what the woman is who touches Him; for she is a sinner.” ⁴⁰ And answering, Jesus said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he says, “Teacher, say it.” ⁴¹ “There were two debtors to a certain creditor. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. ⁴² They having nothing to pay, he forgave both. Therefore which of them will love him more?” ⁴³ Simon answering, said, “I take it that he to whom he forgave the most.” And He said to him, “You have judged rightly.” ⁴⁴ And having turned to the woman, He was saying to Simon, “Do you see this woman?

⁴⁴ And they will level you to the ground, and your children within you, and will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, because you did not know the season of your visitation.”

¹⁹ And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

²¹ And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.”

²⁵ and they asked him and said to him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”

¹⁹ The woman says to Him, “Sir, I understand that You are a prophet.

¹⁴ Therefore the people, having seen what sign He had done, were saying, “This is truly the prophet who is coming into the world.”

⁴⁰ Therefore having heard these words, some of the people were saying, “This is truly the Prophet.” ⁴¹ Others were saying, “This is the Christ.” But others were saying, “Surely the Christ does not come out of Galilee?

¹⁷ Therefore they say again to the blind man, “What do you say concerning Him, for He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”

²² For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up to you a prophet like me out from your brothers. You will listen to Him in all things, as many as He might say to you. ²³ And it will be that every soul who might not heed that prophet will be utterly destroyed out from the people.’

⁵ And hearing these words, Ananias, having fallen down, breathed his last. And great fear came upon all those hearing.

¹¹ And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all those hearing these things. ¹² Now many signs and wonders were happening among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Colonnade. ¹³ Now none of the rest dared to join them, but the people were magnifying them.

³⁷ This is the Moses having said to the sons of Israel, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me out from your brothers.’

²⁴ And they were glorifying God in me.

²⁴ And the news of Him went out into all Syria. And they brought to Him all the sick having various diseases and oppressing pains, and being possessed by demons, and having seizures, and paralytics—and He healed them.

²⁶ And this report went out into all that land.

³¹ But having gone out, they made Him known in all that land.

²⁸ And news of Him immediately went out everywhere into all the surrounding region of Galilee.

¹⁴ And King Herod heard; for His name became well known. And people were saying, “John, the one baptizing, is risen out from the dead, and because of this the miraculous powers operate in him.”

¹⁴ And having come up, He touched the bier; and those bearing it stopped. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, Arise!”

² And John, having heard in prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples, ³ said to Him, “Are You the coming One, or are we to look for another?” ⁴ And Jesus answering, said to them, “Having gone, relate to John what you hear and see: ⁵ The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor are gospelized. ⁶ And blessed is he who shall not fall away in Me.” ⁷ And as these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ But what did you go out to see? A man having been dressed in delicate clothing? Behold, those wearing delicate clothing are in kings’ houses. ⁹ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one more excellent than a prophet. ¹⁰ For this is he about whom it has been written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.’ ¹¹ Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he! ¹² And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence and the violent seize it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah, the one being about to come. ¹⁵ The one having ears, let him hear! ¹⁶ But to what will I compare this generation? It is like little children sitting in the markets and calling out to others, ¹⁷ saying: ‘We piped for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge and you did not wail.’ ¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’ ¹⁹ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold a man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her deeds.”

²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have borne witness, behold He baptizes, and all are coming to Him.”

⁷ And He calls to Him the Twelve, and He began to send them forth two by two, and He gave to them authority over the unclean spirits.

²⁵ The woman says to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ; when He comes, He will tell us all things.”

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

²³ And He was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

¹⁰ For He healed many, so as for as many as had diseases to press upon Him, that they might touch Him.

²⁹ And immediately her flow of blood was dried up, and she knew in the body that she was healed from the affliction.

³⁴ And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you; go in peace and be sound from your affliction.”

³⁰ Because of this, many are weak and sick among you, and many are fallen asleep. ³¹ For if we were judging ourselves, we would not come under judgment. ³² But being judged by the Lord, we are disciplined, so that we should not be condemned with the world.

⁶ For the Lord disciplines whom He loves, and He scourges every son whom He receives.

¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call near the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will save the one ailing, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he might be one having committed sins, it will be forgiven him.

²⁸ And having come into the house, the blind men came to Him, and Jesus says to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They say to him, “Yes, Lord.” ²⁹ Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it to you.” ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly instructed them, saying, “See that no one knows!”

³⁰ And great crowds came to Him, having with them the lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others. And they placed them at His feet, and He healed them, ³¹ so that the crowd marveled, seeing the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

¹⁴ And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.

³² And they bring to Him a man who was deaf and who spoke with difficulty, and they implore Him that He might lay the hand on him. ³³ And having taken him away from the crowd privately, He put His fingers to his ears, and having spit, He touched his tongue, ³⁴ and having looked up to heaven He sighed deeply, and He says to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”). ³⁵ And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed, and he began speaking plainly. ³⁶ And He instructed them that they should tell no one. But as much as He kept instructing them, they were proclaiming it more abundantly. ³⁷ And they were astonished above measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because of which He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth in deliverance the oppressed,

¹² And it came to pass in His being in one of the cities, that behold, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen upon his face, begged Him, saying, “Lord, if You would be willing, You are able to cleanse me.” ¹³ And having stretched out the hand, He touched him, saying, “I am willing; be you cleansed!” And immediately the leprosy departed from him. ¹⁴ And He ordered him to tell no one: “But having gone, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.” ¹⁵ And the report concerning Him was spread abroad still more; and great crowds were coming to hear and to be healed from their sicknesses.

¹⁴ And having come up, He touched the bier; and those bearing it stopped. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, Arise!” ¹⁵ And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother.

²¹ At that very hour, He healed many of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits, and He granted many blind to see.

⁵³ And they were laughing at Him, knowing that she was dead.

¹² And on His entering into a certain village, ten leprous men met Him, who stood afar off. ¹³ And they lifted up their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, have compassion on us.” ¹⁴ And having seen them, He said to them, “Having gone, show yourselves to the priests.” And it came to pass in their going, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ And one of them, having seen that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, ¹⁶ and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus, having answered, said, “Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? ¹⁸ Was there found none having returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ And He said to him, “Having risen up go forth; your faith has cured you!”

³⁵ And it came to pass in His drawing near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the road, begging. ³⁶ And having heard a crowd passing along, he was asking what this might be. ³⁷ And they told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” ³⁸ And he called out saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ³⁹ And those going before were rebuking him, that he should be silent. But he kept crying out much more, “Son of David, have mercy on me.” ⁴⁰ And Jesus, having stopped, commanded him to be brought to Him. And of him having drawn near, He asked him, ⁴¹ “What do you desire I shall do to you?” And he said, “Lord, that I might receive sight.” ⁴² And Jesus said to him, “Receive sight! Your faith has healed you.” ⁴³ And immediately he received sight and began following Him, glorifying God. And all the people having seen it gave praise to God.

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see.”

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, “In this indeed is an amazing thing, that you do not know from where He is, and yet He opened my eyes. ³¹ We know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him. ³² Never out of the age has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of one having been born blind. ³³ If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.”

² And a certain man was being carried, being lame from his mother’s womb, whom they placed every day at the temple gate called Beautiful to ask for alms from those going into the temple, ³ who having seen Peter and John being about to enter into the temple, was asking to receive alms. ⁴ Now Peter having looked intently upon him, with John, said, “Look unto us.” ⁵ And he began to give heed to them, expecting to receive something from them. ⁶ But Peter said, “Silver and gold, to me there is none; but what I have, this I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” ⁷ And having taken him by the right hand, he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened. ⁸ And leaping up, he stood and began walking, and he entered into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

⁷ For from many of those having unclean spirits, they were coming out, crying in a loud voice. And many having been paralyzed and lame were healed.

⁸ And in Lystra a certain man was sitting, crippled in the feet, lame from the womb of his mother, who had never walked. ⁹ This man heard Paul speaking, who having looked intently at him and having seen that he has faith to be healed, ¹⁰ said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” And he sprang up and began to walk.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those having been sanctified by faith in Me.’

⁵ Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He promised to those loving Him?

⁶ And blessed is he who shall not fall away in Me.”

⁵⁷ And they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in the hometown and in his own household.” ⁵⁸ And He did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

³⁴ And Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed for the falling and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against—

⁶⁰ Therefore many of His disciples having heard, said, “This word is difficult; who is able to hear it?” ⁶¹ But Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples are grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this offend you? ⁶² Then what if you should see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before? ⁶³ It is the Spirit giving life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who are those not believing, and who it is who will betray Him.) ⁶⁵ And He was saying, “Because of this, I have said to you that no one is able to come to Me, unless it shall have been granted to him from the Father.” ⁶⁶ From that time, many of His disciples departed to the back and no longer walked with Him.

³² Why? Because it was not by faith, but as by works. They stumbled over the stone of stumbling, ³³ as it has been written: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and the one believing on Him will never be put to shame.”

²¹ For since in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those believing. ²² Forasmuch as both Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom, ²³ we, however, preach Christ having been crucified, a stumbling block indeed to the Jewish and foolishness to Gentiles, ²⁴ but those 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 stronger than men. ²⁶ For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise according to the flesh, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. ²⁷ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world that He might shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world that He might shame the strong; ²⁸ and the low-born of the world, and the things being despised, God also chose—the things not being—that He might annul the things being,

¹⁴ But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand them, because spiritually they are discerned.

⁷ Therefore the preciousness is to you believing. But to those disobeying, “The stone which those building have rejected, this has become into the head of the corner,” ⁸ and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble at being disobedient to the word, to which also they were appointed.

¹ Now in those days John the Baptist comes, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, ² and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.” ³ For this is the one having been spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths.’” ⁴ And John himself had his garment of camel’s hair, and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. ⁵ At that time were going out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan,

⁷ And as these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ But what did you go out to see? A man having been dressed in delicate clothing? Behold, those wearing delicate clothing are in kings’ houses.

⁴ John came baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. ⁵ And all the region of Judea and all of Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

⁸⁰ And the child continued to grow and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserted places until the day of his appearance to Israel.

² during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came upon John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

²³ He was saying, “I am a voice crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’” as Isaiah the prophet said.

¹⁷ Thus purposing, therefore then, did I use lightness? Or do I purpose what I purpose according to flesh, so that with me there should be “Yes, yes” and “No, no”? ¹⁸ But God is faithful, that our word to you was not “Yes” and “No.” ¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, having been proclaimed among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but it has always been “Yes” in Him. ²⁰ For as many as are the promises of God, in Him is the “Yes.” Therefore also in Him, the “Amen” by us is for glory to God.

¹⁴ so that no longer we might be infants, being tossed by waves and being carried about by every wind of teaching in the cunning, in the craftiness of men with a view to the scheming of deceit.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for the one doubting is like a wave of the sea, being blown and being tossed by the wind. ⁷ For let that man not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord. ⁸ He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

¹⁷ These are springs without water and mists being driven by storm, for whom gloom of darkness has been reserved.

¹⁷ Therefore beloved, knowing this beforehand, you beware, lest you should fall from the own steadfastness, having been led away by the error of the lawless.

⁴ And John himself had his garment of camel’s hair, and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

²⁹ Yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

³ whose adorning let not be the external, of braiding of hair and putting around of gold, or putting on of garments, ⁴ but the hidden man of the heart, in the imperishable of the gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth before God.

⁹ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one more excellent than a prophet. ¹⁰ For this is he about whom it has been written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.’ ¹¹ Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he! ¹² And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence and the violent seize it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah, the one being about to come.

⁷⁶ And you, child, will be called prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways,

¹⁶ The Law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone forces his way into it.

⁶ But if we should say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.”

²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have borne witness, behold He baptizes, and all are coming to Him.” ²⁷ John answered and said, “A man is able to receive not one thing if it is not given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear witness to me that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I am sent before Him.’ ²⁹ The one having the bride is the bridegroom; and the friend of the bridegroom, the one standing and listening for him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is fulfilled. ³⁰ It behooves Him to increase, but me to decrease.

³⁵ He was the lamp burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

¹⁰ For this is he about whom it has been written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.’

² As it has been written in the prophet Isaiah: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way.”

¹⁵ For he will be great before the Lord. And he shall never drink wine and strong drink, and he will be full of the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb. ¹⁶ And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he will go forth before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

¹¹ Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he!

¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. ¹⁷ For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear.

¹⁴ And he will be joy and gladness to you, and many will rejoice at his birth. ¹⁵ For he will be great before the Lord. And he shall never drink wine and strong drink, and he will be full of the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.

¹⁶ John answered all saying, “I indeed baptize you with water, but the One mightier than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to untie the strap of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire,

⁴⁸ and He said to them, “Whoever shall receive this child in My name, receives Me; and whoever shall receive Me, receives the One having sent Me. For the one being least among you all, he shall be great.”

²³ And having turned to the disciples, He said in private, “Blessed are the eyes seeing what you see! ²⁴ For I say to you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear.”

⁸ To me, the very least of all saints, was given this grace: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ ⁹ and to enlighten all what is the administration of the mystery having been hidden from the ages in God, the One having created all things,

²⁵ of which I became a minister according to the administration of God having been given me toward you, to complete the word of God, ²⁶ the mystery having been hidden from the ages and from the generations, but now having been manifested to His saints, ²⁷ to whom God has willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

³⁹ And these all, having been commended through the faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God having planned something better for us, so that not apart from us, they should be made perfect.

¹⁰ Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought out and searched out diligently, having prophesied of the grace toward you, ¹¹ inquiring into what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them was signifying, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glories after these, ¹² to whom it was revealed that they were serving not themselves, but you, in those things which now have been proclaimed to you by those having proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit having been sent from heaven, into which angels desire to look.

⁵ At that time were going out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan, ⁶ and confessing their sins, were being baptized by him in the Jordan River.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father?” They say, “The first.” Jesus says to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and you having seen, did not even repent afterward to believe him.

¹² And tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?”

³⁵ And wisdom was justified by all her children.”

²⁵ He was instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and was teaching earnestly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.

³ And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into the baptism of John.”

⁴ Never may it be! But let God be true, and every man a liar, as it has been written: “That You may be justified in Your words, and will prevail in Your being judged.” ⁵ But if our unrighteousness shows God’s righteousness, what shall we say? God, inflicting the wrath, is unrighteous? I speak according to man. ⁶ Never may it be! Otherwise, how will God judge the world?

³ For being ignorant of the righteousness of God and seeking to establish the own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.

³ And they are singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and wonderful are Your works, Lord God the Almighty! Righteous and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “Righteous are You the One being, and having been, O holy One, because You have judged these things,

³⁵ And one of them, a lawyer, questioned Him, testing Him,

³⁴ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and stoning those having been sent to her, how often I have wanted to gather your children, the way that a hen gathers her brood under the wings, and you were not willing.

²⁷ For I did not shrink back from proclaiming to you the whole counsel of God.

²¹ But as for Israel he says: “All the day I have stretched out My hands to a disobeying and contradicting people.”

¹ And working together, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

²¹ I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the Law, then Christ died for naught.”

¹¹ in Him, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of the One working all things according to the counsel of His will

³⁰ And He was saying, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we present it?

²⁵ It is sufficient for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If the master of the house they called Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!

⁶ And John was clothed in camel’s hair and a belt of leather around his waist; and he is eating locusts and wild honey.

¹⁵ For he will be great before the Lord. And he shall never drink wine and strong drink, and he will be full of the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said to Him, “Are we not rightly saying that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

⁵² Therefore the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died, and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he shall never taste of death, to the age.’

²⁰ And many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?”

¹³ But others mocking were saying, “They are full of new wine.”

¹¹ And having seen it, the Pharisees said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with the tax collectors and sinners?”

²⁹ And Levi made a great banquet for Him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax collectors and others, who were reclining with them.

³⁶ And one of the Pharisees was asking Him that He should eat with him, and having entered into the house of the Pharisee, He reclined.

³⁷ And as He was speaking, a Pharisee asked Him that He would dine with him. And having entered, He reclined.

¹ And it came to pass, on His going into a house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching Him.

² And both the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”

⁷ And having seen it, all were grumbling, saying, “He has entered to stay with a sinful man.”

² and also Jesus was invited, and His disciples, to the wedding.

² Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him.

¹⁹ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold a man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her deeds.”

²⁹ And all the people having heard, even the tax collectors, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

¹⁴ But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand them, because spiritually they are discerned. ¹⁵ But he who is spiritual judges all things, but he himself is judged by no one.

⁵ But they were saying, “Not during the feast, lest there be a riot among the people.” ⁶ And of Jesus having been in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

³ And of Him being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, of Him having reclined, a woman came having an alabaster flask of fragrant oil of pure nard, of great price. Having broken the alabaster flask, she poured it on His head. ⁴ And some were indignant within themselves: “Why has this the waste of the fragrant oil been made? ⁵ For this fragrant oil could have been sold for above three hundred denarii, and have been given to the poor.” And they were grumbling at her. ⁶ And Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why do you cause trouble to her? She did a good work toward Me. ⁷ For the poor you always have with you, and you are able to do them good whenever you desire; but not always do you have Me. ⁸ She did what she could. She came beforehand to anoint My body for the burial. ⁹ And truly I say to you, wherever the gospel shall be proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done also will be spoken of, for a memorial of her.”

³⁴ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners!’

² And Mary was the one having anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and having wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” ⁴ And having heard, Jesus said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.” ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. ⁶ Therefore when He heard that he is sick, then indeed He remained two days in the place in which He was. ⁷ Then after this, He says to the disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.” ⁸ The disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, just now the Jews were seeking to stone You, and You are going there again?” ⁹ Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” ¹¹ He said these things, and after this He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go that I may awaken him.” ¹² Therefore His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.” ¹³ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He speaks of the rest of sleep. ¹⁴ So then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died, ¹⁵ and I am glad for your sake I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” ¹⁶ Therefore Thomas called Didymus said to the fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”

³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father?” They say, “The first.” Jesus says to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the kingdom of God.

⁶ And of Jesus having been in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, ⁷ a woman came to Him, having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and poured it on His head as He is reclining. ⁸ And the disciples having seen, became indignant, saying, “For what purpose is this waste? ⁹ For this could have been sold for much, and have been given to the poor.” ¹⁰ And Jesus having known, said to them, “Why do you cause trouble to the woman? For she did a beautiful work to Me. ¹¹ For the poor you always have with you, but not always do you have Me. ¹² For this woman, in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, did it for My burial. ¹³ Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall be proclaimed in the whole world, that which this woman did also will be spoken of, for a memorial of her.”

³⁰ And the Pharisees and their scribes were grumbling at His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”

³² I have not come to call righteous ones, but sinners, to repentance.”

³⁷ And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner. And she having known that He had reclined in the Pharisee’s house, having taken an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, ³⁸ and having stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with the tears, and she was wiping them with the hairs of her head, and was kissing His feet, and was anointing them with the fragrant oil. ³⁹ And the Pharisee, the one having invited Him, having seen, spoke within himself, saying, “If this were a prophet, He would have known who and what the woman is who touches Him; for she is a sinner.”

¹³ But the tax collector, standing afar off, was not even willing to lift up the eyes to heaven, but was striking his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’

²⁴ Therefore they called out a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

³¹ We know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.

¹ Therefore six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised out from the dead. ² Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him. ³ Therefore Mary, having taken a litra of fragrant oil of pure nard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. ⁴ But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, being about to betray Him, says, ⁵ “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” ⁶ But he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief; and having the money bag, he used to pilfer that being put into it. ⁷ Therefore Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that for the day of My burial she may keep it. ⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but not always do you have Me.”

⁸ But God demonstrates His love to us, that of us being still sinners, Christ died for us.

⁹ knowing this, that law is not enacted for a righteous one, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for slayers of man,

¹⁵ Trustworthy is the saying, and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

¹⁸ And, “If the righteous one is saved with difficulty, where will appear the ungodly and sinner?”

⁴ Blessed are those mourning, for they will be comforted.

²¹ Blessed are those hungering now, for you will be filled. Blessed are those weeping now, for you will laugh.

⁴⁴ And having turned to the woman, He was saying to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house; you did not give water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. ⁴⁵ You did not give to Me a kiss, but from which time I came in, she herself has not ceased kissing My feet. ⁴⁶ You did not anoint My head with oil, but she herself anointed My feet with fragrant oil.

⁶² And having gone forth outside, he wept bitterly.

⁴ He rises from the supper and lays aside the garments. And having taken a towel, He girded Himself. ⁵ After that, He pours water into the basin, and He began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

¹⁰ For grief according to God produces repentance to salvation without regret; but the world’s grief produces death. ¹¹ For behold, how much earnestness this very same thing—to have been grieved according to God—has produced in you: but reasoned defense, but indignation, but fear, but longing, but zeal, but vindication! In everything, you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

⁹ Be grieved and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and the joy to gloom.

¹² And having heard, He said, “Not those being strong have need of a physician, but those being sick. ¹³ But having gone, learn what is, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

¹⁶ Thus the last will be first, and the first, last.”

²⁸ But what do you think? A man had two sons, and having come to the first he said, ‘Son, go work in the vineyard today.’ ²⁹ And answering he said, ‘I will not.’ But afterward, having repented, he went. ³⁰ And having come to the second, he said likewise. And answering he said, ‘I will sir,’ and he did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father?” They say, “The first.” Jesus says to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the kingdom of God.

⁶ And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, ⁷ “Why does this man speak thus? He blasphemes! Who is able to forgive sins, except God alone?”

²¹ For from within the heart of men go forth evil thoughts, sexual immorality, thefts, murders, adulteries,

⁸ Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say in yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

¹⁶ And fear seized all, and they began glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has risen up among us!” and, “God has visited His people!”

³⁷ And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner. And she having known that He had reclined in the Pharisee’s house, having taken an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,

¹⁷ And he was reasoning within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere I will store up my fruits?’

²⁸ But he was angry, and was not willing to go in. And his father, having gone, was begging him. ²⁹ And answering, he said to his father, ‘Behold, so many years I serve you, and never did I disobey a commandment of yours; and never did you give to me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. ³⁰ But when this son of yours came, the one having devoured your living with prostitutes, you have killed the fattened calf for him!’

³ And the manager said within himself, ‘What shall I do, for my master is taking away the management from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.

⁴ And for a time he would not, but afterward he said within himself, ‘Even if I do not fear God, nor respect man,

⁹ And He also spoke this parable to some trusting in themselves that they are righteous, and despising others: ¹⁰ “Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector. ¹¹ The Pharisee having stood, was praying toward himself thus: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of the men—swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

¹² And there was much murmuring about Him among the crowds. For some were saying, “He is good.” But others were saying, “No, but He deceives the people.”

⁴⁷ Therefore the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived? ⁴⁸ Has any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on Him? ⁴⁹ But this crowd, not knowing the Law, are accursed.” ⁵⁰ Nicodemus, the one having come to Him, the former being one of them, says to them, ⁵¹ “Does our Law judge the man unless first it has heard from him and known what he does?” ⁵² They answered and said to him, “Are you not also from Galilee? Search and see that a prophet is not raised out of Galilee.”

²² Many will say to Me in that the day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’

⁴⁹ And having come up to Jesus immediately, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed Him.

²² And Jesus, having known their reasonings, answering, said to them, “Why do you reason in your hearts?

³¹ And Jesus answering, said to them, “Those being well have no need of a physician, but those being sick.

⁸ And He knew their thoughts, and He said to the man having the withered hand, “Arise and stand in the midst.” And having risen up, he stood.

¹⁸ And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”

²⁰ And having watched Him, they sent spies, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might catch Him in His word, in order to deliver Him to the rule and to the authority of the governor. ²¹ And they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You speak and teach rightly, and do not receive any person, but teach the way of God on the basis of truth.

² He came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, unless God should be with him.”

¹³ You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say rightly, for so I am.

¹⁹ Jesus knew that they were desiring to ask Him, and He said to them, “Do you inquire among one another concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while and you do not behold Me, and again a little while and you will see Me’?

³⁰ Now we know that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should ask You. In this we believe that You came forth from God.”

¹² And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

²³ Because of this, the kingdom of the heavens has become like to a man, a king, who desired to settle accounts with his servants. ²⁴ And he having begun to settle, one was brought to him, a debtor of ten thousand talents. ²⁵ And of him having nothing to pay, the master commanded him to be sold, and the wife and children, and everything that he had, and payment to be made.

²⁸ But the same servant having gone out, found one of his fellow servants who was owing him a hundred denarii, and having seized him, he was throttling him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’

⁴⁷ Therefore I say to you this: Her many sins have been forgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, he loves little.”

⁴ And forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.’”

⁴⁸ But the one not having known, but having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few. And everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from him to whom much has been committed, more will they ask of him.

⁴ Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: Do you think that these were debtors beyond all the men dwelling in Jerusalem?

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 The one hating Me hates My Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works that no other has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father.

²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

²⁰ Now the Law entered so that trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace overabounded,

¹⁵ Trustworthy is the saying, and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. ¹⁶ But because of this I was shown mercy, that in me, the foremost, Christ Jesus might display perfect patience, as a pattern for those being about to believe on Him to eternal life.

⁸ If we should say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we should confess our sins, He is faithful and just, that He may forgive us our sins and might cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we should say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

²⁵ And of him having nothing to pay, the master commanded him to be sold, and the wife and children, and everything that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ Therefore the servant, having fallen down, was bowing on his knees to him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay everything to you.’

³⁴ And having been angry, his master delivered him to the jailers, until that he should pay all being owed to him.

³⁸ Therefore be it known to you, men, brothers, that through this One, forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. ³⁹ And in Him everyone believing is justified from all things from which you were not able to be justified in the Law of Moses.

²⁴ being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

⁵ However, to the one not working, but believing on the One justifying the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness, ⁶ just as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: ⁷ “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; ⁸ blessed is the man against whom the Lord will never reckon sin.”

⁶ Yet indeed Christ, of us still being without strength, according to the right time, died for the ungodly.

¹⁰ For as many as are of works of the Law are under a curse, for it has been written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue all things having been written in the book of the Law, to do them.”

⁷ in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

³² And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, as also in Christ God forgave you.

¹³ bearing with each other and forgiving each other. If anyone should have a complaint against another, even as also the Lord has forgiven you, so also you.

³⁴ And Jesus, having seen him that he answered wisely, said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any longer.

³⁸ Now in their proceeding, He entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha received Him into the home.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me has not been void. Rather, I toiled more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, having concluded this, that One has died for all, therefore all have died. ¹⁵ And He died for all that those living no longer should live to themselves, but to the One having died for them and having been raised again.

¹³ being formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolent; but I was shown mercy, because I did it in unbelief, being ignorant. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord surpassingly increased with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ being borne witness to in good works: if she has brought up children, if she has entertained strangers, if she has washed the feet of the saints, if she has imparted relief to those being oppressed, if she has followed after every good work.

⁶ But you have dishonored the poor. Are not the rich oppressing you and they dragging you into court?

⁴⁸ And the one betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I shall kiss, it is He; seize Him.”

¹⁶ Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

²⁰ All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

²⁶ Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

¹⁷ But you fasting, anoint your head and wash your face,

³⁷ The one loving father or mother above Me is not worthy of Me, and the one loving son or daughter above Me is not worthy of Me.

²⁰ And having seen their faith, He said, “Man, your sins have been forgiven you.” ²¹ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except God alone?”

⁴² They having nothing to pay, he forgave both. Therefore which of them will love him more?” ⁴³ Simon answering, said, “I take it that he to whom he forgave the most.” And He said to him, “You have judged rightly.”

¹⁵ Therefore when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Feed My lambs.” ¹⁶ He says to him again a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” ¹⁷ He says to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you dearly love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you dearly love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I dearly love You.” Jesus says to him, “Feed My sheep.

³¹ God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

⁹ Or do you not know that the unrighteous ones will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor coveters, not drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And some of you were such. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, having concluded this, that One has died for all, therefore all have died.

²⁴ Grace be with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility.

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

¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord surpassingly increased with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

⁷ But if we should walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

¹⁸ Little children, we should love not in word, nor in tongue, but in action and in truth.

¹⁹ We love because He first loved us.

³ For this is the love of God, that we should keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

² And behold, they were bringing to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. And Jesus, having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins have been forgiven.”

⁵ And Jesus, having seen their faith, says to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

²⁰ And having seen their faith, He said, “Man, your sins have been forgiven you.”

³ And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This one blasphemes!”

⁷ “Why does this man speak thus? He blasphemes! Who is able to forgive sins, except God alone?”

²² And Jesus, having turned and having seen her said, “Take courage, daughter. Your faith has cured you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.

⁵² And Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received sight and began following Him on the way.

¹⁸ Therefore take heed how you hear; for whoever might have, to him will be given; and whoever might not have, even what he seems to have will be taken away from him.”

⁴⁸ And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you; go in peace.”

⁴² And Jesus said to him, “Receive sight! Your faith has healed you.”

¹ Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

⁸ For by grace you are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, ⁹ not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. ¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

¹⁴ What is the profit, my brothers, if anyone says to have faith, but has no works? Is the faith able to save him? ¹⁵ Now if a brother or a sister is without clothes and lacking of daily food, ¹⁶ and anyone out from you says to them, “Go in peace; be warmed and be filled,” but does not give to them the needful things for the body, what is the profit? ¹⁷ So also, faith by itself if it has not works, is dead. ¹⁸ But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you faith by my works. ¹⁹ You believe that God is one. You are doing well! Even the demons believe that, and shudder! ²⁰ But do you want to come to know, O foolish man, that faith apart from works is worthless? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, having offered his son Isaac upon the altar? ²² You see that his faith was working with his works, and by his works, his faith was perfected. ²³ And the Scripture was fulfilled, saying, “And Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God. ²⁴ You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone. ²⁵ And likewise was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, having received the messengers and having sent them forth by another way? ²⁶ For just as the body apart from spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
