1 Corinthians Cross References - MNT

¹ Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes, his brother. ² to the Church of God at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. ³ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I am always thanking God on your behalf, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in everything you have been enriched in him, in all speech, and in all knowledge ⁶ (for thus my witness for Christ was confirmed among you); ⁷ so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreproveable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I beg you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to speak in accord, all of you, and to have no divisions among you, but to be knit together in a common mind and temper. ¹¹ For it has been plainly told me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you. ¹² I mean by this that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul"; another, "I of Apollos"; another, "I of Cephas"; another, "I of Christ." ¹³ Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized? ¹⁴ I am thankful to God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ so that no one can say you were baptized in my name. ¹⁶ Yes, I did baptize the house of Stephanas also, but I do not think I baptized any one else. ¹⁷ For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing. ¹⁸ For the message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For thus it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the philosophers, And the prudence of the prudent will I confound. ²⁰ Sage, rabbi, skeptic of this present age—where are they all? Has not God made foolish the philosophy of the world? ²¹ For when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe. ²² Jews continue to ask for miracles and Greeks are ever wanting philosophy, ²³ but we come preaching a crucified Messiah—to Jews a stumbling-block, to Greeks foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For consider your own calling, brothers, that not many wise in earthly wisdom, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, have been called. ²⁷ No, God has chosen the world's folly to confound its philosophy; and the world's weakness to confound its strength. ²⁸ The world's base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are; ²⁹ so that no mortal man should glory in his presence. ³⁰ It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, ³¹ so that as Scripture says, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

Now there was one of the king's officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum. ⁴⁷ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and heal his son who was lying at the point of death. ⁴⁸ Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe." ⁴⁹ "Sir," said the king's officer, "come down before my little boy dies." ⁵⁰ Jesus answered. "Go your way. Your son lives." And the man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and started to go home. ⁵¹ And when he was already on his way down, his slaves met him, saying that his boy was living. ⁵² So he asked them at what hour he had begun mend. They answered, "Yesterday, about one o'clock, the fever left him." ⁵³ Then the father realized that it had left him at the very hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son lives," and he himself believed, and his whole household.

⁵³ "I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you. ⁵⁴ "He who feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. ⁵⁵ "For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ "He who feeds upon my flesh abides in me and I in him. ⁵⁷ "Just as the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father, so also that man who feeds on me shall live by me. ⁵⁸ "This is the bread which came down from heaven; not such as your fathers ate and died, for he who feeds upon this bread shall live forever." ⁵⁹ He spoke these words while in the synagogue, while he was teaching in Capernaum. ⁶⁰ So many of his disciples, when they heard it, said: "This teaching is unbelievable!

The words which I have been speaking to you, are spirit and are life. ⁶⁴ "Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who should betray him. ⁶⁵ So he added, "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the Father." ⁶⁶ Therefore many of his disciples drew back and no longer companied with him.

³⁸ "Repent," answered Peter, "and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁴⁷ praising God, and looked on with favor by all the people. Meanwhile the Lord kept adding to them daily those that were being saved.

¹¹ "For he is the Stone, cast aside by you builders, which has become the head stone of the corner. ¹² "There is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, in which we must be saved." ¹³ Now when they beheld the glad fearlessness of Peter and John and had perceived that they were amazed; and they began to recognize them, that they were companions of Jesus. ¹⁴ But since they saw the man standing with them who had been healed, they had nothing to answer. ¹⁵ So they bade them withdraw from the Sanhedrin, while they conferred together. ¹⁶ "What," said they, "shall we do with these men? For it is well known throughout Jerusalem that a notable miracle has been performed by them, and we cannot deny it. ¹⁷ "But that the matter may spread no further among the people, let us threaten them not to speak to any one hereafter about this name." ¹⁸ So they summoned them, and ordered them not to speak at all, nor to teach in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹ But Peter and John said in reply. "Do you decide whether in the sight of God it is right to obey you rather than God; ²⁰ but for our part, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard." ²¹ So when they had further threatened them they let the apostles go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them because of the people, for everybody was glorifying God over what had happened.

⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for a time.

¹⁷ "So if God gave them the same gift as he gave to us, when we first believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"

²¹ The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.

²³ When he arrived, and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he encouraged them all to remain faithful to the Lord, with full purpose of heart;

⁷ who belonged to the suite of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

¹² Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed. He was astounded at the teaching of the Lord.

⁴¹ "Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, For in your days I will do a deed, A deed which you will never believe, Though one should declare it unto you."

⁹ "and he made no distinction between us and them, in cleansing their hearts by faith.

¹⁸ A few of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also encountered him again and again. Some were saying, "What has this beggarly fellow to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a setter forth of strange gods," because he preached Jesus and the resurrection. ¹⁹ Then they laid hold of him and brought him up to Mars Hill, saying. "May we be told what this new teaching of yours is? ²⁰ "For you are bringing certain strange things to our ears. We want to know, therefore, what these things mean." ²¹ (Now all the Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else, but to tell or to hear some new thing.)

³² But on hearing of the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock; but others said, "We will hear you again on that subject."

³⁴ A few, however, attached themselves to him and believed, among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and some others.

¹ After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

⁵ And when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was engrossed in his message, earnestly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.

⁸ And Crispus, the warden of the synagogue, believed on the Lord, with all his household; and many of the Corinthians from time to time listened, believed, and were baptized.

⁸ And Crispus, the warden of the synagogue, believed on the Lord, with all his household; and many of the Corinthians from time to time listened, believed, and were baptized. ⁹ And the Lord said to Paul in a vision, by night. "Have no fear; go on speaking, and do not keep silent; ¹⁰ "for I am with you, and no one shall set upon you to injure you; for I have very many people in this city." ¹¹ So he lived there a year and six months and continued to teach them the word of God.

¹⁷ Then they all laid hold of Sosthenes, the warden of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal; but Gallio took no notice.

²⁴ Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, a learned man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

²⁴ But I hold not my life of any account, as dear unto myself, if only I may run my race, and accomplish the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to attest the gospel of the grace of God.

²⁰ And they, when they heard it, glorified God, and said to him. "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews, of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law.

¹⁶ "'And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling upon his name.'

¹⁸ "I fell into a trance and saw him saying to me, "'Make haste and go quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive your testimony concerning me.'

²¹ "'Depart,' he said to me, 'for I will send you forth, far hence, to the Gentiles.'"

¹¹ And the following night the Lord stood by him and said: "Be of good courage; for as you have borne faithful witness concerning me at Jerusalem, so you must testify at Rome also."

²⁴ Some days later Felix came, with his wife Drusilla, a Jewess; he sent for Paul, and listened to him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁵ And as he reasoned about morality, self-control, and the future judgment, Felix was terrified, and said, "For the present go on your way, and when I find a convenient season, I will send for you."

¹⁷ "'I will deliver you from the Jewish people, and from the Gentiles to whom I am sending you to open their eyes ¹⁸ "'so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order to receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

¹⁸ "'so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order to receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

²³ So they arranged a day with him and came to him in his lodgings in great numbers. He expounded the matter to them; testifying to the Kingdom of God, and persuading them about Jesus, from morning till evening, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.

¹ From Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for a gospel of God,

⁴ but was by his resurrection from the dead instated as Son of God, with power, in respect of his spirit of holiness. ⁵ It is through him, even Jesus Christ our Lord, that I received grace and apostleship to promote obedience to the faith among all the Gentiles, for his name's sake;

⁷ To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. May God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you, and give you peace. ⁸ First I thank my God, through Jesus Christ, for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout all the world.

¹⁶ FOR I AM PROUD OF THE GOSPEL. IT IS GOD'S SAVING POWER FOR EVERY ONE WHO BELIEVES. FOR THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO FOR THE GENTILE. ¹⁷ FOR IN IT IS BEING REVEALED A RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH PROCEEDS FROM GOD, FROM FAITH UNTO FAITH; AS IT IS WRITTEN.

²⁰ For ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his everlasting power and divinity, has been clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made. So they have no excuse. ²¹ For although they knew God, yet they did not glorify him as God, nor give him thanks; but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. ²² While they professed to be wise, they became fools,

²⁸ And just as they refused to continue to retain God in their knowledge, so did God cast them out to an outcast mind, to do those things which were indecent.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be shut, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

²¹ But now, quite apart from any law, a righteousness coming from God has been fully brought to light, continually witnessed to by the Law and the Prophets. ²² I mean a righteousness coming from God through faith in Jesus Christ, for all who believe. For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile,

²² I mean a righteousness coming from God through faith in Jesus Christ, for all who believe. For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile, ²³ since all have sinned and lack the glory which comes from God; ²⁴ but they are now being justified by his free grace through the deliverance that is in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ Then what becomes of boasting? It is shut out. What sort of law forbids it? A law of works? No, but a law of faith.

² For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to be proud of, but not before God.

⁶ Just as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from actions.

¹⁷ as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations.

²⁵ who was betrayed to death for our transgressions, and raised again to life for our justification.

¹⁹ For just as through the disobedience of one man the rest were made sinners; even so by the obedience of One shall all the rest be made righteous.

²¹ in order that as sin has ruled as king in death, so also grace might rule as king in righteousness which issues in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord,—ours!

¹⁷ But God be thanked that you who were once the slaves of sin have obeyed from your hearts that type of teaching to which you were appointed;

¹ Thus there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

⁹ But you are not earthly, but spiritual, if indeed the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you. If any one does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

¹⁹ All nature even is waiting with eager longing for the unveiling of the vision of God's sons.

²³ And not only that, we ourselves, although we are grasping the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves are inwardly groaning, while we are waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

²⁸ Now we know that all things continually work together for good to those who love God, to those who have been the called according to his purpose.

²⁸ Now we know that all things continually work together for good to those who love God, to those who have been the called according to his purpose. ²⁹ For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, so that he might be the eldest of a great brotherhood; ³⁰ and whom he foreordained, those he also called; and whom he called, those he also justified; and whom he justified, those he also glorified.

³⁰ and whom he foreordained, those he also called; and whom he called, those he also justified; and whom he justified, those he also glorified.

²⁴ Now such are we whom he has called, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles.

³² And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but thought to gain it by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling; ³³ even as it is written. Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; but he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame.

¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile, because the same Lord Jesus is all over, and is rich unto all who call upon Him;

¹² Now if their stumbling enriches the world, and their loss enriches the Gentiles, how much more must their fulness do!

¹⁷ Supposing that some of the branches have been broken off, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among the branches and have become a partaker with them of the fatness of the olive tree, do not glory over the branches;

³³ Oh, the depths of the riches, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unfathomable are his judgments, and how unsearchable his paths!

³³ Oh, the depths of the riches, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unfathomable are his judgments, and how unsearchable his paths! ³⁴ Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counsellor? ³⁵ Who has first given to Him, So as to receive payment in return? ³⁶ For of him and through him, and for him, are all things. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.

³⁶ For of him and through him, and for him, are all things. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.

¹ I entreat you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is your reasonable service of worship.

⁵ so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and we are severally members of one another.

¹⁶ Have full sympathy with one another. Set not your minds on high affairs, but associate with lowly folk. Do not be wise in your own conceits.

⁴ Who are you just that judges the household-servant of another? To his own lord he stands or falls. And stand he will, for his Master has power to make him stand.

⁸ If we live, we live unto our Lord; if we die, we die unto our Lord. So then, whether we live or die, we belong to our Lord. ⁹ For this purpose Christ died and became alive again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.

⁹ For this purpose Christ died and became alive again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.

⁴ For everything that was written of old has been written for our instruction, that through patience, and through the comfort of the Scriptures, we might have hope. ⁵ Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be in full sympathy with one another, in accordance with the example of Jesus Christ; ⁶ so that with one heart and with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ And I myself also am confident regarding you, my brothers, that you yourselves are already full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and well able to give advice to one another.

¹⁷ I have then my boast in Christ Jesus concerning the things of God.

¹⁹ through the might of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit. So that beginning at Jerusalem and its environs, I have proclaimed without reserve the gospel of Christ, even as far as Illyricum.

³⁰ Brothers, I beseech you, by Jesus Christ our Lord, and by the love which the Spirit gives, to help me in my struggle by your prayers to God on my behalf,

⁷ and Andronicus and Junia, my kinsfolk and fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, and who became Christians before I did.

¹¹ and Herodion, my kinsman. Salute the believing members of the household of Narcissus.

¹⁷ I exhort you, brothers, to keep watch of those who are causing the divisions among you, and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the teaching which you have learned.

²³ Gaius, my host, and the host of the church, salutes you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, salutes you, and so does brother Quartus.

²⁵ Now I commend you to Him who is able to keep you stedfast, according to my gospel, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, whereby is unveiled the secret truth which was kept secret through immemorial ages,

² to the Church of God at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. ³ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴ I am always thanking God on your behalf, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus;

⁹ Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁵ so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.

¹⁸ For the message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For thus it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the philosophers, And the prudence of the prudent will I confound. ²⁰ Sage, rabbi, skeptic of this present age—where are they all? Has not God made foolish the philosophy of the world? ²¹ For when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe.

²³ but we come preaching a crucified Messiah—to Jews a stumbling-block, to Greeks foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

²⁴ but to those who are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

²⁷ No, God has chosen the world's folly to confound its philosophy; and the world's weakness to confound its strength. ²⁸ The world's base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are;

²⁸ The world's base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are; ²⁹ so that no mortal man should glory in his presence. ³⁰ It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, ³¹ so that as Scripture says, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

¹ And when I came to you, brothers, I came not to proclaim God's great secret purpose in fine language of philosophy;

¹ And when I came to you, brothers, I came not to proclaim God's great secret purpose in fine language of philosophy; ² for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ.

² for I determined to know nothing, while among you, but Jesus as Christ, and him a crucified Christ. ³ In weakness and fear and great trembling came I among you. ⁴ My message and my preaching were not in the persuasive language of philosophy, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power;

⁴ My message and my preaching were not in the persuasive language of philosophy, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power; ⁵ in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.

⁵ in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God. ⁶ Notwithstanding, among those who are mature I do teach philosophy; though not the philosophy of the present age, nor of its rulers who are coming to nought.

⁶ Notwithstanding, among those who are mature I do teach philosophy; though not the philosophy of the present age, nor of its rulers who are coming to nought.

⁸ None of the rulers of the present age understands it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.

¹³ Of these high themes we speak in words not taught by human philosophy, but by the Spirit; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men. ¹⁴ The unspiritual man rejects the teachings of God's Spirit; for him it is folly. He cannot understand it, for it is spiritually discerned,

³ You are not able even now, for you are still unspiritual. While there is among you jealousy and strife, are you not still unspiritual, and behaving like worldlings? ⁴ When one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere worldlings? ⁵ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Just ministers through whom you have believed, and each doing the work that the Lord gave him. ⁶ I planted, Apollos watered, but God made the seed grow.

⁹ For we are God's fellow workers; and you are God's field, you are God's building.

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you supposes that he is wise in the philosophy of the present age, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise. ¹⁹ For the philosophy of this world is foolishness in God's sight. It is written, He snares the wise in their own craftiness,

¹⁹ For the philosophy of this world is foolishness in God's sight. It is written, He snares the wise in their own craftiness, ²⁰ and again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, how futile they are. ²¹ So let no one make boast in men. For all things are yours; ²² Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, things present or things to come; all things are yours; ²³ and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

⁵ So make no hasty judgment until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make plain the purpose of men's hearts. Then each man's due praise will come to him from God. ⁶ Now these things, brothers, I have applied in a figure to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that in us you might learn not to go beyond what is written; that none of you be puffed up for the one, against the other. ⁷ For who makes you a differ, brother? Or what have you that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why are you boasting as if you had not received it?

⁷ For who makes you a differ, brother? Or what have you that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why are you boasting as if you had not received it? ⁸ But you, forsooth, are already full, are you? You are already rich? Without us you are already reigning? Yes, and I would that you did reign, so that we also might reign with you. ⁹ But it seems to me that God has exhibited us apostles, last of all, like men doomed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the whole world, both to men and to angels. ¹⁰ For Christ's sake we are fools, but you are quite philosophic in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong; you are honorable, but we are outcast.

¹⁶ I beg you then to imitate my example.

⁵ I have handed over such a man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved, in the day of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that even a little leaven leavens all the lump?

¹ Dare any one of you who has a grievance against his neighbor go to law before heathen judges, instead of before the saints? ² Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try such trifling cases? ³ Do you not know that we are to try angels? How much more, then, the affairs of life. ⁴ Why then, if you have cases relating to earthly affairs which need to be decided, is it men who are absolutely nothing in the church whom you make your judges? ⁵ I say this to shame you. Is it so that there is not among you a single wise man, capable of deciding between a man and his brother? ⁶ Must brother go to law with brother, and that, too, before unbelievers? ⁷ Indeed, to say nothing more, the fact that you have lawsuits with one another is altogether a defect in you. Why not rather suffer injustice? Why not rather endure being cheated?

⁹ Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. None who are immoral, or idolaters, or adulterers, or catamites, or sodomites, ¹⁰ or thieves, or avaricious men, or drunkards, or foul-mouthed men, or extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ Such were some of you, but you have washed away your stains, you have been consecrated, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹¹ Such were some of you, but you have washed away your stains, you have been consecrated, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹⁶ Do you not know that he who joins himself to a harlot is one with her in body? (For God says, The two shall become one flesh.) ¹⁷ While a man who is united with the Lord is one with Him in spirit?

¹⁹ Do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you, the Spirit whom you have from God? ²⁰ You are not your own; for you have been bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your bodies.

²⁹ Indeed, brothers, the time that remains to us has been shortened; so let those who have wives live as if they had none,

⁶ yet for there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

¹¹ So he is lost, this weak man, lost by your "knowledge." this brother for whom Christ died.

¹ Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? ² Even if I am not an apostle to others, to you at least I am; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

⁵ Have I no right to take a believing wife with me on my journey, as the rest of the apostles and the Lord's brothers and Peter do?

² and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

¹³ No temptation has overtaken you that is beyond man's power; but God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will, with every temptation, provide the way of escape also, so that you may be able to withstand.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a common participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a common participation in the body of Christ?

¹⁸ To begin with, I am told—and I believe there is some truth in it—that when you meet at a church there are divisions among you.

⁸ For to one man by the Spirit has been given a word of wisdom, to another a word of insight by the same Spirit;

¹⁰ to another the powers which work miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

¹⁸ But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as it has pleased him.

²⁵ that there should be no disunion in the body, but that members mutual care for one another.

²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.

² Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

⁸ Love never fails; but though there are prophecies, they will fail; though there are tongues, they will cease; though there is knowledge, it will be superseded.

⁵ Now I should like you all to speak with "tongues"; but I should rather that you prophesied, For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be built up. ⁶ Now brothers, if I should come to you speaking with tongues, what should I benefit you, unless I speak to you some revelation, or knowledge, or prophecy, or teaching?

¹⁸ Thank God I speak with tongues more than you all,

²⁶ What follows, then, brothers? Whenever you meet together, each contributes something; a psalm, a sermon, a revelation, a tongue, an interpretation. Let all be done for edification.

² by which also you are saved, if you are holding fast the message which I preached to you; unless indeed you have believed in vain.

⁵ and was seen by Cephas, and then by the Twelve.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, I who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

⁵⁰ I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor can corruption inherit incorruption.

⁵⁴ And when this mortal has been clothed with immortality, then will the words of Scripture come to pass, Death has been swallowed up in victory. ⁵⁵ Where, Death, is thy victory? Where, Death, is thy sting? ⁵⁶ Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹² As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.

¹⁵ I beg you this, my brothers—you know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints—

¹⁷ I am glad that Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.

¹ To the Church of God which is in Corinth, and to all the saints throughout Greece. from Paul, by God's will an apostle of Christ, and from brother Timothy. ² Grace to you and peace from God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ as some indeed did recognize in part at last, that I am your cause of boasting, just as you will be mine on the Day of Jesus our Lord.

¹⁸ As God is faithful, my message to you is not now "Yes," now "No."

²¹ And he who has established me with you in the Anointed One, and has anointed me, is God.

¹⁴ But thanks be to God, who in every place is leading me in the train of Christ's triumph, and is making manifest through me the knowledge of him, an odor of incense everywhere. ¹⁵ I am Christ's fragrance upwafted unto God, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing; ¹⁶ to these latter an odor of death to death, to the former, of life to life. For such service as this, who is sufficient?

² I have renounced the hidden things of shame, not spending my life in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but setting forth the truth openly, I strive to commend myself to every man's conscience as in the sight of God. ³ But even if my gospel, too, is "veiled," it is among those who are on the way to perish that it is "veiled."

⁵ It is not myself that I proclaim, but Christ Jesus as Master, and myself that I proclaim, and myself your slave for Jesus' sake. ⁶ For God who said, "Out of darkness light shall shine," is he who has shone in my heart, that the sunrise of the knowledge of God may shine forth in the face of Christ. ⁷ But I hold this treasure in an earthen vessel, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be from God, and not from myself.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ overmasters me; because I thus judge that if One has died for all, then all have died; ¹⁵ and that he died for all in order that the living may live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again for them.

¹⁷ So there is a new creation when any man is in Christ. The old life has passed away, behold, the new is come. ¹⁸ And all this is from God, who through Christ reconciled me to himself, and gave me the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ how that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to men their trespasses; and that to me he has entrusted the message of that reconciliation. ²⁰ On Christ's behalf, then, I come as ambassador. It is as though God was entreating you, through me, on Christ's behalf I beg you to be reconciled to God.

²⁰ On Christ's behalf, then, I come as ambassador. It is as though God was entreating you, through me, on Christ's behalf I beg you to be reconciled to God. ²¹ Him who knew no sin, in our behalf he has made to be sin; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

¹ As a worker with him I beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

⁷ Now then, as you excel in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and all zeal and in your love to me, see to it that you excel in this grace also.

⁶ Mark this; he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

¹¹ You yourselves will be enriched with all good things, that you may give ungrudgingly; and your gifts, of which I am the agent, will make men give thanks to God.

¹ Now I Paul, myself, appeal to you by the humble-heartedness and selflessness of Christ—Paul who "in your presence is humble, but bold enough when he is absent"—

³ Though I do walk on the low level of the flesh, I do not make war as the flesh does; ⁴ for the weapons of my warfare are not weapons of the flesh, but mighty for God, in pulling down all fortresses.

⁴ for the weapons of my warfare are not weapons of the flesh, but mighty for God, in pulling down all fortresses.

⁴ for the weapons of my warfare are not weapons of the flesh, but mighty for God, in pulling down all fortresses. ⁵ For I pull down imaginations and every crag that lifts itself against the knowledge of God. And I carry every thought away into captivity and subjection to Christ;

¹⁰ "His letters indeed," says one, "are mighty and forcible, but his personality is weak, and his speech contemptible."

¹⁷ Meanwhile. Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.

² I have a divine jealousy on your behalf; for I betrothed you to one only husband, even to Christ, that I might present you to him, a chaste virgin.

⁴ If indeed some one is coming to preach another Jesus, whom I did not preach, or you are receiving a Spirit other than you once received, or another gospel which you did not accept before, you would do well to bear with me. ⁵ For I reckon that I am in no respect behind your superapostolic apostles. ⁶ Yes, though I be unskilled in speech, at least I am not in knowledge; indeed I made this perfectly plain to you in all things and among all men.

² I know a Christian man who, fourteen years ago (whether in the body I know not, or out of the body, I know not. God knows), was caught up—this man of whom I speak—even into the third heaven.

¹¹ I am become a fool—you have forced me to; for you yourselves ought to have been my vindicators. In no respect am I inferior to these superapostolic apostles, even though I am nothing. ¹² In truth the signs of the true apostle were wrought among you in all patience by signs and marvels and powers. ¹³ In what respect, then, were you inferior to the other churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

²⁰ For I dread that perhaps, when I come, I may not find you to be such as I wish, and that I may be found by you such as you do not wish; I dread lest there should be quarrels, jealousy, tempers, party spirit, slandering, gossip, arrogance, tumults;

⁴ For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he now lives through the power of God. I also am weak, sharing in his weakness, but I shall live with him by the power of God.

¹¹ Finally, brothers, farewell. Aim at perfection, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace; so shall the God of love and peace be with you.

¹ Paul, an apostle sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father who raised him from the dead; ² with all the brothers who are with me. To the churches of Galatia greeting.

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil age in accordance with the will of our God and Father,

⁷ for another gospel, which indeed is not another; only there are certain individuals who are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.

¹⁵ But when God who had set me apart from my very birth,

¹⁵ But when God who had set me apart from my very birth, ¹⁶ and had called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach his gospel among the Gentiles, without consulting a human being,

⁷ On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter has with the gospel for the circumcised ⁸ (for he who has equipped Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised, equipped me also for the apostleship to the Gentiles), ⁹ and when they recognized the grace which had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, then thought to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and to me the right hand of fellowship. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the Jews.

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who am living, but it is Christ who is living in me; and the life I am now living in the flesh, I am living in faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

¹ O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? You, before whose very eyes Jesus Christ was placarded as crucified!

⁵ Does he then who supplies you with his Spirit and works miracles among you, do it because you do what the law commands of because you believe the message heard?

¹³ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is every one who is hanged upon a tree),

¹⁷ I mean to say that the testament which God has already ratified could not be annulled by the Law which came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to make the Promise void.

¹² Brothers, I beseech you, become as I am, because I also have become as you are. You never did me any wrong;

¹¹ But I, brothers, if I "still preach circumcision," why am I still persecuted? Then surely the stumbling-block of the Cross has ceased to be an obstacle!

¹⁵ But if you are always biting and devouring one another, take heed lest you be utterly consumed one by another.

²⁰ idol-worship, sorcery, quarrels, party-spirit, jealousy, passionate anger, intrigues, factions, sectarianism,

²² But the harvest-fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control; ²³ against such there is no law. ²⁴ And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and appetites.

²⁶ Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

¹² Those who are trying to compel you to be circumcised are such as wish to make a fair show in the flesh, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. ¹³ Even those who are being circumcised, are not themselves keeping the Law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may glory in your flesh. ¹⁴ God forbid that I should glory in anything except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.

¹⁴ God forbid that I should glory in anything except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world has been crucified to me and I have been crucified to the world.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus, ² grace to you and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ. ⁴ Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish in his sight.

⁷ It is in him we have deliverance, the forgiveness of our trespasses, through his blood;

¹⁰ for the government of the fulness of the ages, that all things in heaven and earth are alike should be gathered up in Christ, as Head.

¹⁴ who for the praise of his glory is the pledge of our common heritage, unto the complete redemption of his purchased property.

¹⁷ I am praying that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, through an intimate knowledge of himself;

¹⁷ I am praying that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, through an intimate knowledge of himself; ¹⁸ and that the eyes of your heart may be flooded with light so that you may understand what is the hope of his calling, what the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

⁷ in order that he might show to the ages to come the amazing riches of his grace by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus.

⁹ It is not of works, so that any one can boast of it; ¹⁰ for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good deeds, which God predestined us to make our daily way of life.

²⁰ You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone. ²¹ In him the whole building, fitly framed together, rises into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² and in him you, too, are continuously built together for a dwelling-place of God through his Spirit.

⁶ namely, that in Christ Jesus the Gentiles form one body with us the Jews, and are coheirs and copartners in the promise, through the gospel.

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, that I should proclaim among the Gentiles the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ; ⁹ and should make all men see the new dispensation of that secret purpose, hidden from eternity in the God who founded the universe, ¹⁰ in order that now his manifold wisdom should, through the church, be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly sphere,

¹⁰ in order that now his manifold wisdom should, through the church, be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly sphere,

¹ I summon you then, I the prisoner in the Lord, to live lives worthy of the calling to which you were called. ² With all humility and gentleness and long-suffering forbear with one another in love; ³ and endeavor to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace. ⁴ There is one body and one spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling. ⁵ There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁵ There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. ⁷ And to each one of us was grace given according to the measure of the munificence of Christ.

¹¹ It is he who made some men apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption. ³¹ Banish from among you all bitterness and passion and anger and clamor and slander, as well as all malice; ³² and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ has forgiven you.

²⁰ and at all times for all things give thanks to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁶ in order that after cleansing her in the bath of baptism, he might sanctify her by his word, ²⁷ so as to present her to himself, the church glorified, without spot or wrinkle or any such blemish; but on the contrary holy and faultless.

¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given me to open my mouth boldly, and to make known the mystery of the gospel for which I am an ambassador,

⁶ Of this I am fully persuaded, that He who has begun a good work in you will go on completing it until the day of Jesus Christ.

⁹ And it is my prayer that your love may abound yet more and more in intelligence and insight ¹⁰ for testing things that differ, so that you may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,

²⁷ Only do lead lives worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come to see you or hear reports concerning you in my absence, I may know that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul, enlisted in a common struggle for the faith of the gospel,

¹ If then there is any comfort in Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love, if there is any companionship of the Spirit, if there is any tenderness or pity, ² I entreat you to make my joy overflow by living in harmony; possessing the same love, and with one soul united in one purpose. ³ Do nothing out of strife, nothing out of vanity, but let each one in true humility consider the others to be of more account than himself. ⁴ Let each have an eye not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

⁹ And for this God highly exalted him, and graciously bestowed upon him the name which is above every name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee in heaven, on earth, and under the earth should bend, ¹¹ and every tongue confess that "Jesus Christ is Lord," to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁴ Do everything without grumbling and disputes, ¹⁵ that you may become blameless and innocent, the sons of God, without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like stars in a dark world, ¹⁶ holding out a message of life. Thus it will be my boast at the day of Christ that I have not run in vain, or toiled for nothing.

³ For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and make our boast in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in outward rites,

⁹ and be found in him; not having my own righteousness of the Law, but that alone which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which comes from God, founded upon faith.

¹⁶ if only we guide our steps by the standards we have already attained.

²⁰ But commonwealth is in heaven; and it is from heaven also that we are anxiously awaiting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

²² All the saints salute you, and especially the slaves of the Emperor's household.

⁹ For this reason from the day I heard of it I have never ceased to pray for you, asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will with every kind of wisdom and spiritual insight; ¹⁰ that you may walk worthy of the Lord in every kind of pleasing; that you may be fruitful in every kind of good work, and may increase in the knowledge of God;

¹⁴ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.

²² he has now in his human body reconciled to God by his death, in order that he may bring you into his presence, holy and unblemished and irreproachable.

²⁴ I am now rejoicing in my sufferings on your behalf; and I am filling up in my own body what is yet lacking of the sufferings of Christ in behalf of the church, his Body.

² May their hearts be comforted! May they be knit together in love! May they gain in all its riches the full assurance of their understanding! May they come to a perfect knowledge of the secret truth of God, which is Christ himself. ³ In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge!

³ In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge!

⁴ When Christ, who is our life, appears, then will you also appear with him in glory.

¹⁰ and put on that new self which is continually made over according to the likeness of its Creator, into full understanding.

¹⁵ Let the peace of Christ, to which also you were called in one body, rule in your hearts, and show yourselves thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ have its home in you richly, in all wisdom. Teach and admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ever singing with grace in your hearts unto God. ¹⁷ And whatever you do, whether in word of in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God our Father through him.

³ Keep on praying for me, too, that God may open for me a door of utterance to speak the secret truth of Christ, for which I am a prisoner. ⁴ Pray that I may unfold it as I ought to speak.

¹ Paul and Silas and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians which is in God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be to you, and peace.

⁵ for my gospel did not come to you in word only, but in power also, and in the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. For you know also the manner in which I behaved myself among you for your sakes.

¹⁰ and to await for the coming of his Son from the heavens, the Son whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, our Deliverer from the wrath to come.

¹² exhorting and imploring and adjuring each one among you to lead a life worthy of the God who called you into his own kingdom and glory.

¹³ And so may he establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus, with all his saints.

¹ Finally then, my brothers, I continue to beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you learned of me how to walk so as to please God—and you are actually doing so—that you abound in it yet more and more. ² For you know what charges I laid upon you through the Lord Jesus.

⁷ For God has not called us for uncleanness, but in holiness.

¹³ Esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Live in peace among yourselves.

¹⁸ Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

²³ May the God of peace consecrate you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept altogether faultless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ He who calls you is faithful; he will fulfil my prayer.

¹ Paul and Silvanus and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷ and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,

¹⁰ when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all believers, on that Day; (for you also believed our testimony).

¹ Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to meet him, I entreat you, brothers,

¹⁰ and with all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their salvation.

¹⁴ For this he called you through my gospel, so that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and a good hope in grace, ¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.

³ But the Lord is faithful; he will stablish you and guard you from the Evil One.

¹ Paul, and apostle of Jesus Christ by command of God our Saviour and Jesus Christ our Hope,

¹² And I am thankful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has thus enabled me, that he accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his service,

¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.

⁶ who gave himself as a ransom in behalf of all, to be attested in due time. ⁷ It was for this testimony that I myself was appointed a herald and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), to be a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

¹⁵ I am writing this to you in case I should be detained, to let you see how you ought to behave in the household of God—the Church of the everliving God, the pillar and mainstay of the truth.

²¹ I charge you solemnly in the presence of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice against any man, and do nothing out of partiality.

⁴ he is puffed up with conceit and knows nothing, but is doting about disputations and a strife of words. These give rise to envy, quarrels, railings, evil suspicions,

¹⁴ I charge you, keep your commission spotless and irreproachable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁵ For in his own good time this will be brought about by that blessed and only potentate, King of kings and Lord of lords,

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, sent forth to proclaim the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus.

⁸ Do not then be ashamed to bear witness for our Lord, nor for me, his prisoner. Nay, join with me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God. ⁹ He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not dealing with us according to our works, but according to his purpose and grace which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.

²² Flee from the passions of youth, but run after righteousness, faith, love, and peace, in company with those who out of a pure heart call upon the Lord. ²³ Ever shun foolish and puerile discussions, for you know that they lead to quarrels. ²⁴ The Lord's slave must not quarrel, but must be kind to all men; a skilful teacher, patient of wrong. ²⁵ He must be gentle when instructing opponents; for possibly God may give them a change of mind for the recognition of the truth,

¹⁵ and how from a child you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ Every Scripture, seeing that it is God-breathed, is also profitable for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the man of God may himself be complete, and completely equipped for every good work.

¹ I adjure you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead—by his appearing and his kingdom, I adjure you—

⁸ Henceforth there is laid up for me the garland of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that Day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

² I write in hope of life eternal which God who never lies, promised before times eternal,

¹³ While we look for the blessed hope and epiphany of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. ¹⁴ He gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify unto himself a people zealous of good works."

⁴ I am ever mentioning you in my prayers, and giving thanks to God,

⁹ yet for love's sake, I rather beseech you, I, Paul, an old man, and now a prisoner for Christ Jesus! ¹⁰ I beseech you for my son, Onesimus, whom I have begotten in these chains.

³ Which having begun to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him; ⁴ God himself corroborating their testimony by signs and wonders and a variety of miraculous powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit imparted in accordance with his own will.

¹¹ For both he who sanctifies and those whom he is sanctifying are all from One; for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying.

¹⁷ And so it was necessary that he should in all points be made like his brothers, so that he might become a compassionate and faithful high priest, in all that relates to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹ Therefore, holy brothers, comrades of a heavenly calling, fix your thoughts then upon Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession.

¹⁴ For we are become comrades of the Christ, if we hold our first title deed firm until the very end.

¹² For living is the Word of God, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the severance of soul form spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the very thoughts and conceptions of the heart.

¹⁸ that by means of two immutable things—his promise and his oath—in which it is impossible for God to break faith, we refugees may have strong encouragement to grasp the hope set before us.

¹² not taking the blood of goats and oxen, but his own blood, and entered once for all into the Holy Place, obtaining for us an eternal redemption.

²⁸ so also the Christ, after being once for all offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who wait for him for salvation.

¹⁰ And it is by this will that we have been sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

²³ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope, unwavering (for He is faithful who promised);

³⁶ For you need stedfastness, so that after having done the will of God, you may receive the promise, ³⁷ For yet a very, very little while, and then The Coming One will have come, without delay.

¹¹ By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed, although she was past the age for child-bearing, because she counted Him faithful who had promised;

¹² and so Jesus suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood.

⁵ If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask it from the God who gives to all men freely and without upbraiding; and it will be given to him.

⁹ Let a brother in humble circumstances glory in his exaltation; ¹⁰ but a rich brother, in his humiliation; because like the flower of the grass the rich man will pass away. ¹¹ For as the sun comes up with a burning heat, it withers the grass, and its flowers fall, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes; so also shall the rich man fade away amid his pursuits.

⁵ Listen, my dear brothers, has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and to inherit the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?

¹³ Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him show his deeds by his good life, in the meekness of wisdom.

¹³ Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him show his deeds by his good life, in the meekness of wisdom.

¹³ Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him show his deeds by his good life, in the meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, do not be boasting of that, and be false to the truth.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, do not be boasting of that, and be false to the truth. ¹⁵ Such wisdom is not that which is descending from on high, but is earthly, sensual, demonlike.

¹⁵ Such wisdom is not that which is descending from on high, but is earthly, sensual, demonlike. ¹⁶ For wherever jealousy and faction exist, there is confusion and every evil deed.

¹⁶ For wherever jealousy and faction exist, there is confusion and every evil deed. ¹⁷ But the wisdom which comes from on high is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, conciliatory, overflowing with mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without insincerity.

¹⁷ But the wisdom which comes from on high is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, conciliatory, overflowing with mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without insincerity. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is being sown in peace by those who are working peace.

¹ Where do the conflicts and quarrels that go on among you come from? Do they not come from your passions which are always making war among your bodily members? ² You continually crave and do not obtain; you are killing and coveting and cannot acquire; you are fighting and at war. You do not have, because you do not ask.

⁷ Be patient, then, brothers, till the coming of the Lord. Behold the farmer who waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it gets the early and the latter rains. ⁸ So you also must be patient. Stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand!

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; Grace and peace be multiplied to you.

¹³ So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ but become yourselves holy in your whole manner of living, as He who has called you is holy, ¹⁶ as the Scripture says, You shall be holy, because I am holy.

¹⁸ For you well know that not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were you redeemed from the emptiness of your manner of life, received by tradition from your ancestors; ¹⁹ but with precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even the blood of Christ.

⁸ and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense. They stumble over it because they are disobeying God's word, and to this they were also appointed.

¹¹ I beseech you, beloved, as pilgrims and exiles, to abstain from passions of the flesh that war upon your souls.

⁸ Finally, you should all be harmonious, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tender-hearted, humble-minded; ⁹ not paying back evil for evil or abuse for abuse, but on the contrary giving a blessing. Because for this you have been called—to inherit a blessing.

¹³ But be glad in the degree in which you share in the sufferings of Christ; so that when his glory shall be revealed, you too may be glad with triumphant gladness.

⁴ Then, when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you too will receive the fadeless wreath of glory.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who has called us by Christ Jesus to share his eternal glory, will, after you have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

¹ Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ For we were not following cunningly devised fables, when we told you of the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his Majesty.

¹⁰ But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; and on that Day the heavens will vanish with a crash, the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat, and the earth and all its works will be burned up.

¹² while you look for and hasten the coming of the Day of God. At its coming the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat.

¹⁴ And so, beloved, since you are looking for these things, continually give diligence that you may be found in peace, unspotted and blameless in his sight.

¹⁸ But grow continually in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and unto the Day of Eternity, Amen.

³ It is what we have seen and heard that we are announcing to you, in order that you also may have partnership with us; and our partnership is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

⁷ But is we are passing our life in the light, as he is in the light, we ever have partnership with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ is cleansing us from every sin.

² We are God's children now, beloved; what we shall be has never yet been made manifest. But we know that when he is manifested we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.

¹³ By this we come to know that we are abiding in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit;

⁶ Jesus Christ is he who came by water and blood, not by the water only, but by the water and by the blood. The spirit is he who bears testimony, because the Spirit is the truth.

¹¹ And the testimony is this, "God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." ¹² He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life. ¹³ I have written these words to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

¹ The Elder to the Elect Lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have come to know the truth.

¹ The Elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. ² I pray that you may prosper, beloved, in every way, and be in good health, even as your soul is prospering. ³ For I was glad when brothers came and bore testimony to your truth, as indeed you are passing your life in truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are passing their lives in the truth.

¹ Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. To those who are in God, the Father beloved, kept for Jesus Christ, and called.

²¹ must keep yourselves in the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, which ends in life eternal.

²⁴ Now unto Him who has power to guard you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of his glory, faultless and exultant, ²⁵ to the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be ascribed glory, majesty, might, and authority, as it was before time began, is now, and ever shall be to all the ages. Amen.

² He bore witness of the Word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, even of all the things that he saw.

⁹ I, John, who am your brother and who share with you in the woes and kingdom and stedfastness of Jesus, found myself in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

⁹ And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book And to open its seals; For thou wast slain and didst ransom for God Men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation;

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they bore.

¹¹ And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, And by the word of their testimony; And they loved not their life, even unto death.

¹⁷ And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went away to make war upon the rest of her children who keep the commandments of God, and hold fast the testimony of Jesus. And he stood upon the sand of the sea.

⁴ These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are celibates. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been redeemed from among men to be the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb.

¹⁷ In one hour so great riches is made desolate!" And every shipmaster and every one who sails to any port, And sailors, and all seafaring folk,

¹⁰ And I fell down at his feet to worship him, and he said to me. "See that you do it not. I am a fellow slave of yours and of your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus; for the testimony of Jesus is the vital breath of prophecy." ¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and lo! a white horse; and he who sat upon him was named "Faithful and True"; and in righteousness does he judge and make war.

¹⁶ And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
