²¹ Not every one who says to me, Master, Master, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven. ²² Many will say to me on that day, Master, Master, have we not taught in thy name, and in thy name performed many miracles? ²³ To whom I will declare, I never acknowledged you. Depart from me, you who practice iniquity. ²⁴ Therefore, whosoever hears these my precepts, and does them, I will compare to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock. ²⁵ For although the rain descended, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, it fell not, because it was founded upon the rock. ²⁶ But whosoever hears these my precepts, and does them not, shall be compared to a simpleton, who built his house upon the sand. ²⁷ For when the rain descended, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and dashed against that house, it fell, and great was its ruin.

⁶ Jesus answered, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father, but by me.

¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments;

²¹ He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me, will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and manifest myself to him. ²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Master, wherefore will you manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answering, said to him, If a man love me, he will observe my word; and my Father will love him; and we will come to him, and dwell with him.

¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you shall continue in my love; as I have kept my Father's commandments, and continue in his love. ¹¹ I give you these admonitions, that I may continue to have joy in you, and that your joy may be complete. ¹² This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I love you. ¹³ No man has greater love than this, to lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith, which works by love.

³ And every one who has this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure.

²³ For this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and should love one another as he gave us commandment. ²⁴ Now he who keeps His commandments, abides in him, and He in him; and by this we know that he abides in us, even by the Spirit, which he has given us.

³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome;

¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they who have come out of much tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb:

¹² having a great and high wall; having also twelve gates, and over the gates twelve angels, and names written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel:

¹² while the sons of the kingdom shall be thrust out into outer darkness, where will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹⁸ He who believes on him shall not be condemned; he who believes not, is already condemned, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ Now this is the ground of condemnation; that light has come into the world, and men have preferred the darkness to the light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For whosoever does evil, hates the light, and shuns it, lest his deeds should be detected. ²¹ But he who obeys the truth, comes to the light, that it may be manifest that his actions are agreeable to God.

⁴⁶ Who of you convicts me of falsehood? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe me?

¹¹ And they paid regard to him; because he had, for a long time, astonished them wit his enchantments.

And, immediately, a mist and darkness fell upon him; and going about, he sought some to lead him by the hand.

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor misers, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁹ Now, the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these. Fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, ²⁰ sorcery, enmities, strifes, emulations, wraths, brawlings, factions, sects, ²¹ envying, murders, intoxications, revellings, and such like: concerning which I foretell you now, as I also have foretold, that they who practice these things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

³ But whoredom, and all uncleanness, and inordinate desire- let them not even be named among you; (as it becomes saints;) ⁴ nor obscenity, nor foolish talking, nor double meanings, nor things uncomely; but rather thanksgiving. ⁵ For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor lascivious man, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain speeches; for on account of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.

² Beware of the snarlers, beware of evil workers, beware of the excision;

⁶ for which the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience;

¹⁰ and with all the deceit of unrighteousness among the destroyed; because they did not embrace the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ For this cause, God will send them strong delusion, that they may believe a lie; ¹² that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in iniquity.

²⁰ Yet the remainder of men, who died not by these plagues, did not reform from the works of their hands, that they might not worship demons, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk. ²¹ And they reformed not from their murders, and their magical incantations; nor from their fornication, nor their thefts.

¹ And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, came and spoke with me, saying, Come, and I will show you the judgment of the great harlot, that sits upon many waters: ² with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and all the inhabitants of the earth have been drunk with the wine of her whoredom. ³ And he brought me, in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, full of slanderous names, having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was clothed with purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abominations and pollution of her whoredom. ⁵ And she had upon her forehead her name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. ⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

⁸ But, as for the cowards, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and prostitutes, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars-their part shall be in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

¹ The History of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.

² Where is the new-born King of the Jews; for we have seen his star in the east country, and are coming to do him homage?

⁷ Then Herod having secretly called the magicians, procured from them exact information concerning the time of the star's appearing. ⁸ And sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go, make an exact inquiry about the child; and when you have found him bring me word, that I may go also, and pay him homage. ⁹ Having heard the King, they departed; and lo! the star which had appeared to them in the east country, moved before them, till it came, and stood over the place, where the child was. ¹⁰ When they again saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly.

⁴² saying, What do you think of the Messiah? Who son should he be? They answered, David's.

⁴⁵ If the Messiah were David's son, would David call him his Lord?

⁷⁸ through the tender compassion of our God, who has caused a light to spring from on high to visit us,

³ concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord; descended from David, as to his flesh, ⁴ and constituted the Son of God, with power, as to his holy spiritual nature, after his resurrection from the dead:

⁵ whose are the fathers; and from whom the Messiah descended, according to the flesh; who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

¹⁹ so we have the prophetic word more firm; to which you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning star arise in your hearts.

⁴ John, to the seven congregation which are in Asia; favor and peace be with you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;

¹¹ Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. The conqueror shall not be injured by the second death.

¹⁷ Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations: To the conqueror I will give of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he who receives it.

²⁸ And I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

⁶ Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

¹³ Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

²² Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

⁵ And one of the elders said to me, Weep not; behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and its seven seals.

⁶ And he said to me, These words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets, has sent his holy angel to show his servants what must quickly be done.

¹¹ Let him that is unjust, be unjust still; and let him that is polluted, be polluted still; and let him that is righteous, be righteous still; and let him that is holy, be holy still.

³⁹ He replied, Come, and see. They went, and saw where he dwelt, and it being about the tenth hour, abode with him that day. ⁴⁰ One of the two, who, having heard John, followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. ⁴¹ The first he met, was his own brother, Simon; to whom he said, We have found the Messiah, (a name equivalent to Christ.) ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus, looking upon him, said, You are Simon, the son of Jona; you shall be called Cephas, (which denotes the same as Peter.) ⁴³ The next day, he resolved to go to Galilee, and meeting Philip, said to him, Follow me. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip meets Nathanael, and says to him, We have found the person described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ Nathanael says to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip answered, Come and see.

¹⁰ Jesus replied, If you knew the bounty of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me some drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.

²⁹ Come, see a man who has told me all that I ever did. Is this not the Messiah?

³⁷ On the last, and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

²⁴ are justified freely by his favor, through the redemption which is by Christ Jesus:

¹² Now, we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, that we might know the things which are gifted to us by God.

⁵ for our gospel came not to you in word only, but also with power, and with the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance: as you know what sort of men we were among you. ⁶ And you became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having embraced the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit. ⁷ So that you become patterns to all who believe, in Macedonia and Achaia. ⁸ Besides, from you the word of the Lord has resounded, not only in Macedonia and Achaia; but also in every place your faith in God is spread abroad, so that we have no need to speak anything.

² And I, John, saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, descending from God, out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

⁹ And there came one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues; and spoke with me, saying, Come, and I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.

⁶ he shall not afterward honor by his assistance, his father or his mother. Thus, by your tradition, you annul the commandment of God. ⁷ Hypocrites, well do you suit the character which Isaiah gave of you, saying, ⁸ "This people honor me with their lips. though their heart is estranged from me. ⁹ But in vain they worship me, while they teach institutions merely human."

¹³ He answered, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be extirpated.

¹⁷ This, therefore, I say, and testify in the Lord, that you walk no longer as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind;

⁶ That no man should go beyond bounds, or defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all such;

¹⁴ And by the messenger of the congregation in Laodicea, write: These things says the AMEN, the Faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the indignation of God, which is tempered, without mixture, in the cup of his wrath; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascends for ever and ever: and they have no rest, day nor night, who worship the beast, and his image; and whoever receives the mark of his name.

¹ And I saw another great and wonderful sign in heaven; seven angels, who had the seven last plagues; because in them the wrath of God was to be completed.

⁶ and the seven angels who had the seven plagues, came out of the temple, clothed with pure shining linen garments; and were girded round the breasts with golden girdles. ⁷ And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels, seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. ⁸ And the temple was full of smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. And no one could enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

⁶ for they have poured forth the blood of saints, and prophets; and thou hast given them blood to drink-they are worthy. ⁷ And I heard a voice from the altar, saying, Yes, O Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. ⁸ And the fourth angel poured forth his vial on the sun; and power was given to it to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And men were scorched with great heat, and they reviled the name of God, who had power over these plagues, and reformed not, to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth poured forth his vial upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was darkened, and they gnawed their tongues for ¹¹ anguish, and reviled the God of heaven for their pains and their ulcers, and reformed not from their works. ¹² And the sixth poured forth his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun. ¹³ And I saw, and out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet there came forth three unclean spirits, like frogs: ¹⁴ for these are the spirits of demons, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. ¹⁵ Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, that he may not walk naked, so that they should see his shame. ¹⁶ And he gathered them together into a place which is called, in the Hebrew language, Armageddon. ¹⁷ And the seven poured forth his vial into the air; and there came forth a great voice from the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. ¹⁸ And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been from the time that men were upon the earth; such and so great an earthquake. ¹⁹ And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the Gentiles fell down. And Babylon the great came into remembrance before God, to give her the cup of the wine of his fiercest wrath. ²⁰ And every island fled away, and the mountains were found no more. ²¹ And a great hail, as of the weight of a talent, descended from heaven upon men: and men reviled God, because of the plague of the hail; for the plague of it was very great.

²⁰ And the beast was taken captive, and with him the false prophet, who had wrought signs before him, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast, and those who worshiped his image; both of whom were cast alive into the lake of fire which burned with brimstone.

¹⁰ And the devil, who had deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were: and they shall be tormented day and night for ages and ages.

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

⁵² Alas, for you, lawyers! because you have carried off the key of knowledge; you have not entered yourselves, and those who entering, you hindered.

¹⁷ Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations: To the conqueror I will give of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he who receives it. ¹⁸ And by the messenger of the congregation in Thyatira, write: These things says the Son of God, who has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass:

²⁶ And as for him that conquers, and keeps my works to the end, I will give him power over the nations:

⁴ But you have a few names in Sardis, who have not polluted their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. ⁵ As for the conqueror, he shall be clothed in white apparel; and I will not blot out his name from the book of life; but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

⁹ After this, I saw, and beheld a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation, and tribe, and people, and language, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands; ¹⁰ and they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb! ¹¹ And all the messengers stood round about the throne, and about the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell down on their faces, before the throne, and worshiped God; ¹² saying, Amen: the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honor, and the power, and the strength, be to our God for ever and ever: Amen. ¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, As for those who are clothed with white apparel, who are they, and whence do they come? ¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they who have come out of much tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb:

⁸ And all the inhabitants of the earth shall worship it, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb, that was slain from the beginning of the world.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write: Henceforth blessed are the dead that die in the Lord; yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works follow them!

²² And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple of it. ²³ And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it; for the glory of the Lord enlightened it, and the Lamb is the light of it. ²⁴ And the nations of the saved shall walk in its light; and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and their honor into it. ²⁵ And the gates of it shall not be shut by day; (for there shall be no night there.) ²⁶ And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. ²⁷ And nothing unclean shall enter into it, nor anything which practices abomination and falsehood; but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

²⁵ There were many other things also performed by Jesus, which, were they to be severally related, I imagine, the world itself could not contain the volumes that would be written.

²² If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, he shall be accursed when the Lord comes.

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will deliver to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them who love his appearing.

²⁸ even so Christ, being once offered, to bear away the sins of many, will, to them who look for him, appear a second time, without a sin-offering, in order to salvation.

¹² expecting and earnestly desiring, the coming of the day of God; in which the heavens being set on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements burning, shall be melted? ¹³ But we, according to his promise, expect new heavens, and a new earth, in which dwells righteousness. ¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, expecting these things, diligently endeavor to be found of him spotless, and irreproachable, in peace.

² who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever he saw.

¹⁸ I am he who lives and was dead; and behold, I am living for ever and ever; and I have the keys of the unseen world, and of death.

⁷ To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; favor be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁰ May the God of peace bruise Satan under your feet soon! The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

²³ Gaius, my host, and of the whole congregation, salutes you. Erastus, the chamberlain of the city, salutes you, and Quartus, your brother.

¹⁴ The favor of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

²³ Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ Favor be with all them who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.

¹⁸ The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
