²⁵ He answered and said, If he be sinful, I know not: one thing I know, that, being blind, now I see. ²⁶ And again said they to him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? ²⁷ He answered them, I told you already, and ye heard not: why wish ye to hear again? ye wish not also to be his disciples? ²⁸ Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. ²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses; but this, we know not whence he is. ³⁰ The man answered and said to them, For in this is it wonderful, that ye know not whence he is, and he opened mine eyes. ³¹ And we know that God hears not the sinful: but if any be godly, and do his will, this he hears. ³² From forever was it not heard that any opened the eyes of him born blind. ³³ If this one were not of God, he could do nothing. ³⁴ They answered and said to him, In sins wert thou wholly born, and teachest thou us? And they cast him without. ³⁵ Jesus heard that they cast him without; and having found him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God? ³⁶ He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in him? ³⁷ And Jesus said to him, Thou hast also seen him, and he speaking with thee, the same is he. ³⁸ And he said I believe, Lord. And he worshipped him.

¹⁶ And I have, other sheep, which are not of this court-yard: and I must also bring them, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, and one shepherd.

³ Jesus knowing that the Father has given all things to him into the hands, and that he came out from God, and retired to God;

²³ And there was one of his disciples reclining on the bosom of Jesus, whom he loved.

¹³ And whatever ye ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father might be honoured by the Son. ¹⁴ If ye ask anything in my name, I will do.

²¹ He having my commands, and keeping them, the same is he loving me: and he loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and manifest myself to him. ²² Judas says to him, not Iscariot, Lord, how has it been that thou art about to make thyself manifest to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and we will make our stay with him.

⁷ If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you.

²⁴ Until now ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy might be completed.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

¹⁵ Then, when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yes, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ Jesus says to him again the second time, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yes, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁷ He says to him the third time, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved that he said the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁸ Truly, truly, I say to thee, when thou west younger, thou didst gird thyself and walk where thou wouldest;and when thou shalt grow old, thou shalt stretch out thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou wilt not. ¹⁹ And this he said, signifying by what death he shall honour God. And having said this, he says to him, Follow me.

³⁸ This is he having been in the church in the desert with the messenger speaking to him in Mount Sina, and our fathers: who received the living oracles to give to us:

¹ And a certain man was in Cesarea by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italian, ² Religious, and fearing God with all his house, and doing many alms to the people, and praying God always. ³ He saw in a vision manifestly about the ninth hour of the day a messenger of God having come in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius. ⁴ And having looked at him intently, and being afraid, he said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms went up for remembrance before God. ⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon, who is called Peter: ⁶ He is received as guest with a certain Simon a currier, to whom is a house by the sea: he shall speak to thee what thou must do. ⁷ And when the messenger speaking to Cornelius departed, having called two of his servants, and a religious soldier of those persevering with him; ⁸ And having related all to them, he sent them to Joppa. ⁹ And the morrow, these travelling, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up upon the house to pray about the sixth hour: ¹⁰ And he was hungry, and would have eaten: and these making ready, a deep trance fell upon him, ¹¹ And he sees heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as a great linen napkin fastened at the four beginnings, and laid down upon the earth: ¹² In which were all the quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and the flying things of heaven. ¹³ And a voice was to him, Having risen, Peter, kill, and eat. ¹⁴ And Peter said, By no means, Lord; for never ate I anything common or unclean. ¹⁵ And a voice again of a second time to him, What things God cleansed, do not thou make common. ¹⁶ And this was for thrice: and again was the vessel taken up into heaven. ¹⁷ And as Peter was doubting in himself what the vision might be which he saw, and behold, the man sent from Cornelius having asked for Simon's house, stood at the gate, ¹⁸ And having called, they were inquiring if Simon, surnamed Peter, is received there as a guest.

¹ And the apostles and brethren, those being in Judea, heard that the nations also received the word of God. ² And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision discussed with him, ³ Saying, That thou camest in to men having uncircumcision, and didst eat With them. ⁴ And Peter having begun, set forth to them in order, saying, ⁵ I was in the city Joppa, praying: and in a deep trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descending as a great linen napkin, let down from heaven by four beginnings; and it came even to me: ⁶ Upon which having looked intently, I observed, and saw quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and the flying things of heaven. ⁷ And I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, kill and eat. ⁸ And I said, By no means, Lord: for anything common or unclean never came into my month. ⁹ And a voice answered me of a second time from heaven, What God cleansed, profane not. ¹⁰ And this was for thrice: and again all was drawn up into heaven. ¹¹ And, behold, from this three men stood at the house in which I was, sent from Cesarea to me. ¹² And the spirit said to me to come with them, discussing nothing. And these six brethren came also with me, and we came to the man's house: ¹³ And he announced to us how he saw a messenger in his house, having stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and send for Simon, surnamed Peter ¹⁴ Who shall speak words to thee, by which thou shalt be saved and all thy house. ¹⁵ And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as also upon us in the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of the Lord, when he said, John truly immersed with water; but ye shall be immersed with the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ If therefore God gave the like gift to them as also to us, having believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; how was I able to hinder God ¹⁸ And having heard these, they were silent, and honoured God, saying, For also God gave the nations repentance to life.

²⁷ And having arrived, and gathered the church together, they announced what God did with them, and that he opened the door of faith to the nations.

¹⁴ Simeon related how God first reviewed to take from the nations a people for his name. ¹⁵ And with this the words of the prophets agree: as has been written, ¹⁶ After these will I return, and rebuild the tent of David, having fallen; and its things undermined will I rebuild, and set it upright:

¹⁶ After these will I return, and rebuild the tent of David, having fallen; and its things undermined will I rebuild, and set it upright: ¹⁷ So that they remaining of men might seek out the Lord, and all the nations upon whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, making all these.

⁹ And a vision was seen to Paul by night; A certain man, a Macedonian, was standing, beseeching him, and saying, Having passed to Macedonia, help us.

¹¹ And they were of more noble birth than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all willingness, and examined the writings daily, if these things might hold thus. ¹² Therefore truly many of them believed; and of the distinguished Grecian women, and of men, not few.

²⁴ But the word of none do I make mine own, neither have I my soul highly prized to myself, in order to finish my course with joy, and the service which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the good news of the grace of God.

²⁸ Attend therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit set you inspectors, to feed the church of God, which he acquired by his own blood.

¹³ And Paul answered, What do ye weeping and breaking my heart? for I not only to be bound, but to die at Jerusalem, have prepared for the name of the Lord Jesus.

²¹ And he said to me, Go: for I will send thee far off to the nations.

¹⁷ Taking thee away from people, and nations, to whom I now send thee. ¹⁸ To open their eyes, to turn them back from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, fur them to receive remission of sins, and inheritance with the consecrated by faith in me.

²³ For the messenger of God stood by me in this night, whose I am, and whom I serve, ²⁴ Saying, Fear not, Paul; Thou must stand before Caesar: and, behold, God has bestowed on thee as a gift all these sailing with thee. ²⁵ Wherefore, O men, be cheerful: for I believe God, that so it shall be as he has spoken to me.

¹ What then the superiority of the Jew or what the advantage of circumcision? ² Much according to every manner: for truly first were they trusted with the oracles of God.

¹ Justified therefore of faith we have peace with God by our Lord Jesus Christ: ² By whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast upon hope of the glory of God. ³ And not only, but also we boast in affliction: knowing that affliction works perseverance; ⁴ And perseverance, proof; and proof, hope. ⁵ And hope shames not; for the love of God has been poured in our hearts by the Holy Spirit given us. ⁶ For yet Christ, we being weak, Recording to the time died for the impious. ⁷ For scarcely for the just will any one die: yet for the good perhaps some also would venture to die. ⁸ And God recommends his own love to us, that we yet being sinful, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, justified now in his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath. ¹⁰ For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

⁴ Therefore, my brethren, ye also were dead to the law by the body of Christ; for you not to be to another, but to him raised from the dead, that we bring forth fruit to God.

²⁸ And we know that to them loving God, all things work together for good, to them being called according to the setting up. ²⁹ For whom he before knew, he also before determined of the form of the image of his Son, for him to be first born in many brethren. ³⁰ And whom he before determined, these he also called: and whom he called, these he also justified: and whom he justified, these he also glorified. ³¹ What then shall we say to these? if God with us, who against us? ³² Who truly spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, and how not with him will he freely give us all? ³³ Who shall demand payment for the chosen of God? God justifying. ³⁴ Who, he condemning Christ having died, and rather also raised again, who is at the right hand of God, and who intercedes for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? pressure, or perplexity, or expulsion, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ As has been written, That for thy sake we are killed the whole day; we were reckoned as sheep for slaughter. ³⁷ But in all these we obtain a complete victory by him having loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor beginnings, nor powers, nor things having stood, nor things about to be, ³⁹ Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² For no distinction is of the Jew and also of the Greek: for the same Lord of all being rich to all calling upon him. ¹³ For every one whoever should call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ¹⁴ How then shall they call upon whom they believed not? and how shall they believe whom they heard not? and how shall they hear without him proclaiming? ¹⁵ And how shall they proclaim, except they be sent? as has been written, How beautiful the feet of them announcing good news, peace, of them announcing good things!

²⁰ If therefore thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for doing this, thou shalt heap up-coals of fire on his head.

⁸ Owe ye nothing to none, except to love one another: for he loving another has completed the law. ⁹ For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet; and if any other command in this word it is summed up, in it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰ Love works no evil to the neighbor: love therefore the completion of the law.

⁷ For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. ⁸ For whether we live, to the Lord we live: and whether we die, to the Lord we die: therefore whether we live, and whether we die, we are of the Lord. ⁹ For, for this Christ also died, and also arose, and returned again to life, that he might also reign over the dead and the living.

⁹ And the nations to glorify God for mercies; as has been written, For this will I acknowledge to thee in the nations; and I will play on, the harp to thy name. ¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, ye nations, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and land him all ye people. ¹² And again Esaias says, The root shall be of Jesse, and he having risen to rule over the nations; upon him shall the nations hope.

²⁸ And the ignoble things of the world, and the despised things, has God chosen, and things not being, that the things being he might leave unemployed:

¹⁰ According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise chief-architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon. And let each see how he builds upon. ¹¹ For none is able to lay another foundation above that laid, which is Jesus the Christ. ¹² And if any one build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, stalks;

²⁰ For ye were bought for a price: then glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are of God.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ holds us together; having judged this, that if one died for all, then all dead: ¹⁵ And he died for all, that the living no more live to themselves, but o him having died for them, and having risen.

¹⁵ And he died for all, that the living no more live to themselves, but o him having died for them, and having risen.

² For I am zealous of you with the zeal of God: for I fitted you to one husband, to present a pure virgin to Christ.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace suffices thee: for my power is perfected in weakness. Therefore very willingly will I boast rather in my weaknesses, that Christ's power may lodge upon me.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace suffices thee: for my power is perfected in weakness. Therefore very willingly will I boast rather in my weaknesses, that Christ's power may lodge upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore am I contented in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities in expulsions, in extremities for Christ: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁹ My children, for whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you,

²⁶ But Jerusalem above is free, which is mother of us all.

¹⁴ And it may not be to me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he rendered us acceptable in the beloved.

⁸ In which he abounded to us in all wisdom and intelligence;

¹² For us to be to the praise of his glory, who before hoped in Christ. ¹³ In whom ye also, having heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation: in whom also having believed, ye were sealed by the holy Spirit of solemn promise,

¹² That ye were in that time without Christy alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners from the covenants of solemn promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: ¹³ And now in Christ Jesus ye who then being far off have become near in the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, having made both one, and having loosed the middle partition wall of the enclosure; ¹⁵ The enmity in his flesh, the law of commands in enactments, having left unemployed; that he might create in himself one new man, making peace;

¹⁹ Wherefore then are ye no more foreigners and sojourners, but fellow-citizens of the holy, and the household of God; ²⁰ Built upon the foundation of the sent, and of the prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone; ²¹ In whom all the building fitted together increases into a holy temple in the Lord: ²² In whom also ye are builded together for the dwelling of God in the Spirit.

²⁰ According to my anxious expectation, and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but in all freedom of speech, as always, and now shall Christ be Magnified in my body, whether by life, whether by death. ²¹ For me to live is Christ, and to die gain. ²² And if to live in the flesh, this to me the fruit of work: and whether I shall be taken away I know not ²³ For I am pressed together from two, having one eager desire to be loosed, and be with Christ (rather much better:)

²³ For I am pressed together from two, having one eager desire to be loosed, and be with Christ (rather much better:)

³ For we are the circumcision, serving God in spirit, and boasting in Christ Jesus, and not trusting in the flesh.

⁷ But what things were gain to me, these I have thought loss for Christ. ⁸ But surely, I also think all things to be loss for the superiority of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have been made to lose all things, and I think to be offscourings, that I shall gain Christ,

¹⁹ For what our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Are not also ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his arrival?

¹⁶ But for this was I commiserated, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a model to them about to believe on him to eternal life.

¹⁶ And manifestly great is the mystery of devotion: God was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed in the nations, was believed on in the world, was received up in glory.

¹⁵ Bestow diligent care upon these things; be in them; that thy progress may be manifest in all things. ¹⁶ Take heed to thyself, and to the doctrine; remain in them: for doing this, and thou shalt save thyself, and them hearing thee.

¹⁷ Let the elders having presided well be deemed worthy of double honour, chiefly they being wearied in word and doctrine. ¹⁸ For the writing says, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox grinding. And, The laborer worthy of his hire.

¹⁹ Truly the firm foundation of God has stood, having this seal, The Lord knows them being his. And, Let every one naming the name of Christ remove from iniquity.

¹⁵ And that from infancy thou hast known the holy letters, able to render thee wise to salvation by faith which in Christ Jesus.

⁹ But we see Jesus, made some little while less than angels by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste of death for all. ¹⁰ For it became him, for whom all things, and by whom all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the chief of their salvation by sufferings. ¹¹ For be consecrating and they being consecrated all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² Saying, I will announce thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church will I praise thee. ¹³ And again, I will be confident in him. And again, Behold I and the young children which God gave me. ¹⁴ Since therefore the young children participated in flesh and blood, he also likewise participated with them; that by death he might leave unemployed him having the strength of death, that is, the devil;

²⁶ (Since he must have suffered many times from the foundation of the world:) but now once at the termination of the times for the annulling of sin by the sacrifice of himself has he been shown clearly. ²⁷ And inasmuch as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this the judgment: ²⁸ So Christ, once offered to have borne the sins of many, of the second time, without sin, shall be seen to them expecting him for salvation.

¹⁰ For which salvation the prophets sought and inquired anxiously, they having prophesied of the grace to you: ¹¹ Searching for whom or what time the Spirit of Christ which in them manifested, testifying beforehand the sufferings to Christ, and the glories after these. ¹² To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were serving these things, which now have been again proclaimed to you by them having announced the good news in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; into which angels eagerly desire to stoop and creep.

²¹ Who by him believing in God, having raised him from the dead, and having given him glory; that your faith and hope should be in God.

¹² Having your turning back good in the nations: that, in what they speak against you as doing evil, from good works, they having beheld, might praise God in the day of inspection.

¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word more firm; which holding to, ye do well, as to a light shining in a dusty place, even till the day shine through, and the morning star spring up in your hearts:

⁶ And the woman fled into the desert where she has a place prepared from God, that they might nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

¹¹ And they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their souls till death.

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, See, not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren having the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

¹² And having a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and the names inscribed, which are of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel: ¹³ From the sunrising three gates; from the north three gates; from the south three gates; and from the sun-setting three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city having twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve sent of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he speaking with me had a golden reed that he might measure the city, and her gates, and her wall. ¹⁶ And the city lies quadrangular, and her length is so large, such also the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, at twelve thousand stadia. Her length, breadth, and height are equal. ¹⁷ And he measured her wall, an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is the angel. ¹⁸ And the interior construction of her wall was a jasper: and the city pure gold, like pure crystal. ¹⁹ And the foundations of the wall of the city adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation a jasper; the second, a sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald:

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him hearing say, Come. And let him thirsting come. And let him wishing, take the water of life freely.

²⁰ He testifying says, Yes, I come swiftly. Amen. Yes, come, Lord Jesus.
