²¹ but bid farewell to them saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast which is in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing." And he put out to sea from Ephesus.

²³ After having spent some time there, he went out, going through in order the Galatian region and the Phrygian region, strengthening all the disciples. ²⁴ Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man being mighty in the Scriptures, had arrived in Ephesus.

²⁶ And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

⁸ And he entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, debating and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. ⁹ But when some became hardened and disbelieving, speaking evil against the Way before the multitude, he withdrew from them and separated the disciples, each day debating in the school of a certain Tyrannus. ¹⁰ Now this took place for two years, so that all who were dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

¹ Now after the disturbance had ceased, Paul, summoning the disciples and greeting them, went away to go to Macedonia. ² And going through those parts, and encouraging them with many words, he came to Greece ³ and spent three months there.

¹³ sharing in the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.

⁸ Owe nothing to no one, except to love one another, for he who loves one another has fulfilled the law. ⁹ For, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not kill," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, in this word it is summed up, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." ¹⁰ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

¹⁵ But if your brother is grieved on account of your food, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food the one on behalf of whom Christ died.

²⁴ whenever I travel to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope while traveling through to see you, and to be sent forward there by you, if I may be filled in part from you first. ²⁵ But now I am traveling to Jerusalem ministering to the saints.

³¹ that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, ³² so that in joy I may come to you through the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you.

² so that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and you may stand by her in whatever thing she may need from you; for indeed she has proved to be a helper of many and of myself also. ³ Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

³ Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, ⁴ who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. ⁵ And greet the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ.

⁵ And greet the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ. ⁶ Greet Mary, who labored much for us.

⁹ Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.

¹² Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who have labored in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in the Lord.

¹² Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Cephas," and "I of Christ."

¹⁶ Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

⁵ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord has given to each one?

⁹ For we are coworkers with God; you are God's field, you are God's building.

²² whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come-all things are yours.

¹⁴ I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I admonish you. ¹⁵ For though you might have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

¹⁷ Because of this I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

¹⁹ But I will come to you quickly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are arrogant, but the power.

¹⁹ But I will come to you quickly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are arrogant, but the power. ²⁰ For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. ²¹ What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and a spirit of gentleness?

¹ Now concerning the things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

²⁵ And everyone who competes exercises self-control in all things. Now they compete in order that they may receive a perishable crown, but we compete for an imperishable crown. ²⁶ Therefore I run thus: not as without a goal, thus I box: not as one beating the air. ²⁷ But I treat my body roughly, and I bring it into subjection, lest, having preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

³⁴ But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

³ Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

²⁸ And those whom God has appointed in the church are: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.

³¹ But strive for the better gifts. And yet I make known a more excellent way.

¹⁶ Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say "Amen" when you give thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

²⁰ Brothers, do not be children in your understanding; rather, in malice be children, but in understanding be men.

¹ Now I made known to you, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand, ² through which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.

³² If, in the manner of men, I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what is the benefit to me? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

⁵⁸ So then, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

⁶ And perhaps I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I may go.

¹⁰ Now if Timothy comes, see to it that he may be with you without fear; for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do. ¹¹ Therefore let no one despise him. But send him away in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brothers.

¹⁴ Let all that you do be done in love.

¹⁷ I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for what was lacking on your part they have supplied.

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

⁸ For we do not desire you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. ⁹ Yes, we have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, ¹⁰ who delivered us from so great a death, and is delivering us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us,

¹⁵ And in this confidence I intended to come to you earlier, that you might have a second benefit,

¹⁵ And in this confidence I intended to come to you earlier, that you might have a second benefit, ¹⁶ and through you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be sent on to Judea.

¹⁶ and through you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be sent on to Judea. ¹⁷ Therefore, when I decided this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I decide, do I decide according to the flesh, that there may be with me "Yes, Yes," and "No, No?"

²⁴ Not that we lord it over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for by faith you stand.

¹² Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,

¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, having concluded this: that if One died for all, then all died; ¹⁵ and He died for all, so that they who live should live no longer for themselves, but for the One who died for them and rose again.

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

⁶ Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, ⁷ and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted over you, as he reported to us your earnest longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

¹³ Because of this we have been comforted. And in your comfort we rejoiced exceedingly more over the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

¹ Now we make known to you brothers, the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia,

¹ Now we make known to you brothers, the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia, ² how that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their generosity.

² how that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their generosity. ³ For I bear witness that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing,

³ For I bear witness that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing, ⁴ with much appeal, begging us for the grace and the fellowship of the ministry to the saints--

⁴ with much appeal, begging us for the grace and the fellowship of the ministry to the saints-- ⁵ and not as we hoped, but they first gave their own selves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God, ⁶ so that we urged Titus, that just as he had begun before, thus he would also finish this grace also in you.

⁶ so that we urged Titus, that just as he had begun before, thus he would also finish this grace also in you. ⁷ But as you abound in everything--in faith, in word, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us--see that you abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by means of the diligence of others. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet on account of you He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

¹¹ And now also complete doing it; that as indeed there was the readiness to desire it, thus also there may be the completion from what you have. ¹² For if there is first a readiness, it is acceptable according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have. ¹³ For I do not mean that others should be relieved and you burdened; ¹⁴ but by way of equality, that now at the present time your abundance may supply their need, that their abundance also may supply your need, in order that there may be equality. ¹⁵ As it is written, "He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little had no lack."

¹⁸ And we sent together with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches, ¹⁹ and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches as our traveling companion with this gift, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show our readiness--

¹⁹ and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches as our traveling companion with this gift, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show our readiness-- ²⁰ avoiding this, lest anyone should blame us in this abundance which is ministered by us; ²¹ having regard for honorable things, not only before the Lord, but also before men. ²² And we sent together with them our brother whom we often approved in many things, being diligent, but now being much more diligent, by his great confidence in you. ²³ If anyone inquires about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker concerning you; or if our brothers are inquired about, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ. ²⁴ Therefore show to them the proof of your love, and of our boasting concerning you, before the churches.

¹ Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is unnecessary for me to write to you;

³ And I have sent the brothers, lest our boasting about you lose its justification in this matter, that just as I said, you may be prepared, ⁴ lest perhaps if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this confident boasting. ⁵ Therefore I thought it necessary to urge the brothers, that they should go before me to you, and should arrange in advance your generous gift, which you had previously promised, that this would be ready, thus as a blessing and not as grudgingly given.

¹² Because the ministry of this service not only is supplying the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, ¹³ while through the approved character of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for the generosity of your sharing toward them and toward all, ¹⁴ and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you. ¹⁵ Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

⁹ and when I was present with you, and in need, I did not burden anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. And in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and so I will keep myself.

¹¹ Why? Because I do not love you? God knows!

⁹ And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in calamities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

¹⁵ And I gladly will spend and be expended for your souls; although the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

¹² Greet one another with a holy kiss. ¹³ All the saints greet you.

² and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia:

⁸ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach a gospel to you other than what we preached to you, let him be accursed. ⁹ As we have said before, and I say again just now, if anyone preaches a gospel to you other than what you received, let him be accursed.

¹⁰ only they desired that we should remember the poor, which indeed I made every effort to do this very thing.

¹ Stand fast therefore in the freedom in which Christ has made us free, and do not be loaded down again with a yoke of bondage.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

¹³ For you, brothers were called to freedom; only do not use freedom for an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. ¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

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

¹¹ See with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand!

¹⁶ that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power by His Spirit in the inner man,

¹ Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, ² with all humility and meekness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, ³ being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

²¹ subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.

¹⁰ Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

¹³ Because of this, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having accomplished all things, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ¹⁸ through every prayer and petition, praying in every season in the Spirit, being watchful to this same thing with all perseverance and petition concerning all the saints--

²⁴ Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

⁸ For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.

²⁷ Only conduct yourselves worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,

¹ Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and acts of compassion, ² fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit, intending the same purpose, ³ doing nothing according to selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility, regarding one another as being better than yourselves.

¹⁹ Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your circumstances. ²⁰ For I have no one like-minded, who will be genuinely concerned about your circumstances. ²¹ For all seek their own interests, not the things of Christ Jesus. ²² And you know his approved character, that as a child with his father he served as a slave for the gospel.

²⁸ Therefore I sent him more eagerly, in order that when you see him again you may have joy, and I may be less anxious. ²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord with the utmost joy, and hold such ones in honor; ³⁰ because for the work of Christ he drew near unto death, being careless with his life, in order that he might fill up that which was lacking in your service to me.

¹⁸ For many walk, of whom often I was speaking to you, and now even weeping I tell you, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

¹ Therefore, my beloved and longed for brothers, my joy and crown, in this way stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

³ Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women who labored together with me in the gospel, and with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

¹³ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

²² All the saints greet you, but especially those of the household of Caesar.

¹¹ being strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, for all endurance and longsuffering with joy; ¹² giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.

²³ if indeed you continue in the faith, having been founded and firm and not drifting away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was proclaimed to all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

² Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; ³ praying at the same time also for us, that God would open a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, because of which I am also in chains,

⁸ I am sending him to you for this very thing, that he may know your circumstances, and he may encourage your hearts,

¹² Epaphras greets you, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, always struggling for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and complete in all the will of God.

¹⁵ Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church in his house.

¹⁸ This greeting is by my own hand--Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Amen.

³ constantly remembering your work of faith, labor of love, and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

⁹ For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

² and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, in order to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,

⁶ But now when Timothy came to us from you, and brought good news to us of your faith and your love, and that you have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, as we also long to see you--

⁶ But now when Timothy came to us from you, and brought good news to us of your faith and your love, and that you have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, as we also long to see you-- ⁷ because of this we were encouraged, brothers, in regard to you in all our affliction and distress by your faith. ⁸ Because now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

¹² And may the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, as indeed we also do toward you,

⁸ Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has given His Holy Spirit to you. ⁹ Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for me to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another. ¹⁰ For indeed you do so toward all the brothers in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you increase more and more,

¹² in order that you may walk decently toward those outside, and may have need of nothing.

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

¹² And we request of you, brothers, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and instruct you,

²⁶ Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

³ We are obligated to give thanks to God always for you, brothers, and rightfully so, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all increases towards one another,

⁸ in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ These shall pay a penalty--eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might,

¹⁵ So then, brothers, stand fast and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our letter.

¹⁷ The greeting of Paul by my own hand, which is a sign in every letter; so I write.

⁵ Now the goal of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,

¹² Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather become a pattern for the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

¹⁰ having a reputation for good works, if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.

¹⁷ Let the elders having ruled well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.

¹² Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold of eternal life, to which you were called and have confessed the good confession before many witnesses.

¹ You therefore, my child, be empowered by the grace which is in Christ Jesus.

³ You therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the affairs of civilian life, in order that he may please the one having enlisted him. ⁵ And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

⁵ You however be watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

⁷ I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

¹⁹ Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

¹⁵ Speak these things, exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

⁴ But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,

¹² Whenever I shall send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, hasten to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

² to Apphia the beloved, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church at your house:

⁵ hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

⁷ For we have much thanksgiving and encouragement over your love, because the affections of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

¹³ whom I wished to keep with myself, in order that on your behalf he might serve me in the bonds of the gospel.

¹⁹ I, Paul, am writing with my own hand. I will repay--lest I say to you that even yourself you owe to me! ²⁰ Yes, brother, may I have profit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.

²³ Epaphras, my fellow captive in Christ Jesus, greets you, ²⁴ as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow workers.

¹⁰ For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

³² And what more should I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, both Barak and Samson and Jephthah, both David and Samuel and the prophets: ³³ who through faith overcame kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in battle, turned to flight the armies of foreigners.

⁴ Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

⁷ Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you, of whom considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.

¹⁷ Obey your leaders, and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls, as giving an account, in order that they may do this with joy and not groaning, for this would be unprofitable for you.

²⁴ Greet all your leaders, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

¹⁵ Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."

¹ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

⁸ Whom not having seen, you love, in whom now not seeing, but believing, you rejoice with inexpressible joy and glorified,

⁷ Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"

⁷ Now the end of all things is at hand; therefore be of sound mind and self-controlled in your prayers. ⁸ And above all things have fervent love for one another, because "love will cover a multitude of sins."

¹⁰ As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

⁵ Likewise, younger people, subject yourselves to the elders. And all of you be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, because "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

⁸ Be sober, be watchful; your adversary the devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeking someone he may devour.

¹⁴ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

⁷ and with godliness brotherly love, and with brotherly love, love.

¹⁷ But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother having need, and shuts off his compassion towards him, how does the love of God abide in him?

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; and everyone that loves has been born of God and knows God. ⁸ He that does not love does not know God, because God is love.

¹⁹ We love Him because He first loved us.

¹ Everyone that believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone that loves Him that begot also loves him that is begotten of Him.

⁴ I have no greater joy than these things, that I hear that my children are walking in truth.

⁶ who gave testimony concerning your love before the church, with reference to whom you will do well if you send them forth in a manner worthy of God,

⁶ who gave testimony concerning your love before the church, with reference to whom you will do well if you send them forth in a manner worthy of God, ⁷ for on behalf of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the pagans. ⁸ We therefore ought to receive such, in order that we may become fellow workers with the truth.

¹¹ Beloved, do not imitate the evil, but the good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God. ¹² Demetrius has a good testimony with everyone, and of the truth itself. And we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.

¹⁴ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, ¹⁵ to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly among them about all their ungodly deeds which they have committed impiously, and about all the harsh words which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard a loud voice like a trumpet behind me, ¹¹ saying, "That which you see, write in a book and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."

³ and you have endurance and you have born patiently on account of My name, and you did not become weary.

² Be watchful, and keep that which remains, which you were about to cast out, for I have not found your works perfect before My God. ³ Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and by no means shall you know what hour I will come upon you.

⁷ "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says the Holy One, the True One, " He who has the key of David, He that opens and no man shuts, except He that opens, and no man shall open." ⁸ "I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it; because you have a little strength and have kept My word, and you have not denied My name.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

⁴ These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever He may go. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

¹⁵ Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and guards his garments, lest he should walk naked and they should see his shame."

²⁰ He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen. Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
