Jude Cross References - MSTC

¹ Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, the brother of James. To them which are called and sanctified in God the father, and preserved in Christ Jesus. ² Mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied. ³ Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, to exhort you, that ye should continually labour in the faith, which was once given unto the saints. ⁴ For there are certain craftily crept in, of which it was written aforetime unto such judgement. They are ungodly, and turn the grace of our Lord God unto wantonness; And deny God the only Lord, and our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵ My mind is therefore to put you in remembrance, forasmuch as ye once know this, how that the Lord — after that he had delivered the people out of Egypt — destroyed them which afterward believed not: ⁶ The angels also, which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day: ⁷ even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them — which in like manner defiled themselves, with fornication, and followed strange flesh — are set forth for an example, and suffer the vengeance of eternal fire. ⁸ Likewise these dreamers defile the flesh, despise rulers, and speak evil of them that are in authority. ⁹ Yet Michael the archangel, when he strove against the devil, and disputed the body of Moses, durst not give railing sentence, but said, "The Lord rebuke thee." ¹⁰ But these speak evil of those things which they know not.

Clouds they are without water, carried about of winds: and trees without fruit at gathering time, twice dead, and plucked up by the roots. ¹³ They are raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame. They are wandering stars, to whom is reserved the mist of darkness forever. ¹⁴ Enoch the seventh from Adam prophesied before of such saying, "Behold, the Lord shall come with thousands of saints, ¹⁵ to give judgment against all men, and to rebuke all that are ungodly among them, of all their ungodly deeds, which they have ungodly committed, and of all their cruel speakings, which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." ¹⁶ These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts, whose mouths speak proud things. They have men in great reverence because of advantage. ¹⁷ But ye, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁸ how that they told you that there should be beguilers in the last time, which should walk after their own ungodly lusts. ¹⁹ These are makers of sects, fleshly, having no spirit. ²⁰ But ye, dearly beloved, edify yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the holy ghost, ²¹ and keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life. ²² And have compassion on some, separating them: ²³ and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, and hate the filthy vesture of the flesh. ²⁴ Unto him that is able to keep you, that ye fall not, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with joy, ²⁵ that is to say, to God our saviour which only is wise; be glory, majesty, dominion, and power, now and forever. Amen. {Here ends the General Epistle of Jude}

²¹ Hath not the potter power over the clay, even of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? ²² Even so, God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, suffered with long patience the vessels of wrath, ordained to damnation,

⁴ and that because of incomers, being false brethren, which came in among others to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.

¹³ Brethren, ye were called into liberty, only let not your liberty be an occasion unto the flesh but in love serve one another.

¹⁴ That we henceforth be no more children, wavering and carried with every wind of doctrine, by the wiliness of men and craftiness, whereby they lay a wait for us to deceive us.

⁶ For of this sort are they which enter into houses, and bring into bondage women laden with sin, which women are led of divers lusts,

¹⁵ Unto the pure, are all things pure: but unto them that are defiled, and unbelieving, is nothing pure: but even the very minds and consciences of them are defiled. ¹⁶ They confess that they know God: but with the deeds they deny him and are abominable, and disobedient, and unto all good works discommendable.

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation unto all men, hath appeared ¹² and teacheth us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and that we should live sober minded, righteously, and godly in this present world,

¹⁵ And look to, that no man be destitute of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness spring up and trouble; and thereby many be defiled: ¹⁶ and that there be no fornicator, or unclean person, as Esau, which for one breakfast sold his birthright.

⁸ and a stone to stumble at, and a rock to offend them which stumble at the word, and believe not that whereon they were set.

¹⁶ as free, and not as having the liberty for a cloak of maliciousness: but even as the servants of God.

¹⁸ And if the righteous scarcely be saved: where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

¹ There were false prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you: which privily shall bring in damnable sects, even denying the Lord that hath bought them, and bring upon themselves swift damnation. ² And many shall follow their damnable ways, by which the way of truth shall be evil spoken of; ³ and through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you, whose judgment is not far off, and their damnation sleepeth not.

⁵ neither spared the old world, but saved Noah, the eighth preacher of righteousness, and brought in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; ⁶ and turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, overthrew them, damned them, and made of them an example unto all that after should live ungodly;

¹⁰ namely, them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise the rulers. Presumptuous are they, and stubborn, and fear not to speak evil of them that are in authority;

¹⁸ For when they have spoken the swelling words of vanity, they beguile with wantonness through the lusts of the flesh them that were clean escaped: but now are wrapped in errors. ¹⁹ They promise them liberty, and are themselves the bondservants of corruption. For of whomsoever a man is overcome, unto the same is he in bondage. ²⁰ For if they, after they have escaped from the filthiness of the world through the knowledge of the Lord, and of the saviour Jesus Christ, they are yet tangled again therein and overcome: then is the latter end worse with them than the beginning. ²¹ For it had been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, then after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment given unto them. ²² It is happened unto them according to the true proverb, "The dog is turned to his vomit again, and the sow that was washed, is returned to her wallowing in the mire."

⁷ But the heavens verily and earth which are now, are kept by the same word in store, and reserved unto fire, against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

²² Who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is Christ? The same is the antichrist that denieth the father and the son.

¹⁵ to give judgment against all men, and to rebuke all that are ungodly among them, of all their ungodly deeds, which they have ungodly committed, and of all their cruel speakings, which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

⁴ Who shall not fear, o Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy, and all gentiles shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest."

²² For of all those men which have seen my glory and my miracles which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted me now this ten times and have not hearkened unto my voice, ²³ there shall not one see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that railed upon me, see it. ²⁴ But my servant Caleb, because there is another manner spirit with him, and because he hath followed me unto the utmost: him I will bring into the land which he hath walked in, and his seed shall conquer it, ²⁵ and also the Amalekites and Canaanites which dwell in the low countries. Tomorrow turn you and get you into the wilderness: even the way toward the reed sea." ²⁶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, ²⁷ "How long shall this evil multitude murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel which they murmur against me. ²⁸ Tell them that the LORD sayeth, 'As truly as I live, I will do unto you even as ye have spoken in mine ears. ²⁹ Your carcasses shall lie in this wilderness, neither shall any of these numbers which were numbered from twenty years and above of you which have murmured against me ³⁰ come in to the land over which I lifted mine hand to make you dwell therein — save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. ³¹ And your children, which ye said should be a prey: them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have refused, ³² and your carcases shall lie in this wilderness. ³³ And your children shall wander in this wilderness forty years and suffer for your whoredom until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness, ³⁴ after the number of the days in which ye searched out the land forty days, and every day a year: so that they shall bear your unrighteousness forty years, and ye shall feel my vengeance. ³⁵ I, the LORD, have said that I will do it unto all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me: even in this wilderness ye shall be consumed, and here ye shall die." ³⁶ And the men which Moses sent to search the land, and which — when they came again — made all the people to murmur against it, in that they brought up a slander upon the land; ³⁷ died for their bringing up that evil slander upon it, and were plagued before the LORD.

⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man of the number of the children of Israel which Moses and Aaron told in the wilderness of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For the LORD said unto them, that they should die in the wilderness and that there should not be left a man of them: save Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹⁵ For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them out of the host, till they were consumed. ¹⁶ And as soon as all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

²⁶ Then lift he up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness,

¹⁵ Nevertheless, brethren, I have somewhat boldly written unto you, as one that putteth you in remembrance, through the grace that is given me of God

¹ Brethren I would not that ye should be ignorant of this, how that our fathers were all under a cloud, and all passed through the sea, ² and were all baptised under Moses in the cloud and in the sea: ³ and did all eat of one spiritual meat, ⁴ and did all drink of one manner of spiritual drink. And they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, Which rock was Christ. ⁵ But in many of them had God no delight. For they were overthrown in the wilderness. ⁶ These are examples to us that we should not lust after evil things, as they lusted. ⁷ Neither be ye worshippers of images as were some of them according as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up again to play." ⁸ Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed fornication, and were destroyed — in one day, twenty three thousand. ⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpents. ¹⁰ Neither murmur ye as some of them murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. ¹¹ All these things happened upon them for examples, and were written to put us in remembrance, whom the ends of the world are come upon. ¹² Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

¹⁶ For some, when they heard, rebelled: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt under Moses.

¹² Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of such things, though that ye know them yourselves and be also established in the present truth. ¹³ Notwithstanding, I think it mete, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

¹ This is the second epistle that I now write unto you, my dearly beloved, wherewith I stir up and warn your pure minds,

²⁹ And, behold, they cried out, saying, "O Jesus, the son of God, what have we to do with thee? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time be come?"

⁴¹ Then shall the King say unto them that shall be on the left hand, 'Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, which is prepared for the devil and his angels.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father, ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning; And abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his own. For he is a liar, and the father thereof.

¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness for heavenly things.

²⁷ but a fearful looking for judgment, and violent fire, which shall devour the adversaries.

⁴ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down into hell, and delivered them in chains of darkness, to be kept unto judgement;

⁹ The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and how to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment for to be punished:

¹⁰ and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more.

¹³ But the men of Sodom were wicked, and sinned exceedingly against the LORD.

²⁰ And the LORD said, "The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and their sin is exceeding grievous.

⁵ And they called unto Lot and said unto him, "Where are the men which came into thy house tonight? Bring them out unto us that we may do our lust with them."

²⁴ Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah, brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven, ²⁵ and overthrew those cities and all the region, and all that dwelled in the cities, and that that grew upon the earth. ²⁶ And Lot's wife looked behind her, and was turned in to a pillar of salt.

²³ how all the land is burnt up with brimstone and salt, that it is neither sown nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, after the overthrowing of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim: which the LORD overthrew in his wrath and anger.

⁹ And except the LORD of Hosts had left us a few alive, we should have been as Sodom, and like unto Gomorrah.

¹⁹ And Babylon, that glory of kingdoms and beauty of the Chaldeans' honor, shall be destroyed, even as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorra.

¹⁴ The sinners at Zion are afraid, and a sudden fearfulness is come upon the hypocrites. "What is he among us," say they, "that will dwell by that consuming fire? Which of us may abide that everlasting heat?"

¹⁶ Let it happen unto that man, as to the cities which the LORD turned upside down, when he had long heard the wicked rumor of them;

⁴⁰ Like as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, with the cities that lay there about, sayeth the LORD: So shall no man dwell there also, neither shall any man have there his habitation.

⁶ {Vav} The sin of the daughter of my people is become greater than the wickedness of Sodom, that suddenly was destroyed, and not taken with hands.

⁴⁹ Behold, the sins of thy sister Sodom, were these: Pride, fullness of meat, abundance and Idleness: these things had she and her daughters. Besides that, they reached not their hand to the poor and needy, ⁵⁰ but were proud - And did abominable things before me, wherefore I took them away when I had seen it.

⁸ What great things have I given thee, O Ephraim? How faithfully have I defended thee, O Israel? Have I dealt with thee as with Adam? Or have I entreated thee like Zeboim? No, my heart is otherwise minded. Yea, my mercy is to fervent:

¹¹ 'Some of you have I overthrown as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah: so that ye were as a brand plucked out of the fire. Yet will ye not turn unto me,' sayeth the LORD.

²⁴ Nevertheless, I say unto you, It shall be easier for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee."

⁴³ Wherefore, if thy hand offend thee, cut him off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than to go, having two hands, into hell: into fire that never shall be quenched, ⁴⁴ where their worm dieth not, and the fire never goeth out. ⁴⁵ Likewise, if thy foot offend thee, cut him off. For it is better for thee to go halt into life, than, having two feet, to be cast into hell: into fire that never shall be quenched, ⁴⁶ where their worm dieth not, and the fire never goeth out. ⁴⁷ Even so, if thine eye offend thee, pluck him out. It is better for thee to go into the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire: ⁴⁸ where their worm dieth not, and the fire never goeth out. ⁴⁹ "Every man therefore shall be salted with fire: And every sacrifice shall be seasoned with salt.

²⁹ And even the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

²⁶ For this cause, God gave them up unto shameful lusts. For even their women did change the natural use unto the unnatural. ²⁷ And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burnt in their lusts, one on another, among themselves. And man with man wrought filthiness: and received in themselves the reward of their error, as it was according.

⁹ Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. For neither fornicators, neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind,

⁶ and turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, overthrew them, damned them, and made of them an example unto all that after should live ungodly;

⁵ but God doth know, that whensoever ye should eat of it, your eyes should be opened and ye should be as God and know both good and evil."

²⁸ "Thou shalt not rail upon the judges, neither curse the ruler of thy people.

³ And they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, "Ye have done enough. For all the multitude are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them. Why therefore heave ye yourselves up above the congregation of the LORD?"

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they answered, "We will not come. ¹³ Seemeth it a small thing unto thee that thou hast brought us out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness; but that thou shouldest reign over us also?

¹ W hy did the heathen rage and the people imagine vain things? ² The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers came together against the LORD, and against his Christ. ³ Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us. ⁴ He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn: the Lord shall have them in derision. ⁵ Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure, ⁶ "Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion."

³ The LORD shall root out all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things, ⁴ Which have said, "With our tongue will we prevail; we are they that ought to speak; Who is lord over us?"

¹¹ He that bringeth up an evil report upon the generation of his father and mother, is not worthy to be commended.

¹⁷ Whoso laugheth his father to scorn, and setteth his mother's commandment at naught; the ravens pick out his eyes in the valley, and devoured be he of the young Eagles.

²⁰ Wish the king no evil in thy thought, and speak no hurt of the rich in thy privy chamber; for a bird of the air shall betray thy voice, and with her feathers shall she betray thy words.

²⁵ But if the princes perceive that I have talked with thee, and come unto thee, saying, 'O speak, what said the king to thee? hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death. Tell us, we pray thee: what said the king to thee?' ²⁶ See thou give them this answer, 'I have humbly besought the king, that he will let me lie no more in Jonathan's house, that I die not there.'" ²⁷ Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him. And he told them, after the manner as the king bade him. Then they held their peace, for they perceived nothing. ²⁸ So Jeremiah abode still in the fore entry of the prison, until the day that Jerusalem was won.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent messengers after him, saying, 'We will not have this man to reign over us.'

²⁷ But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away saying, 'Who made thee a ruler and a judge among us?

³⁹ to whom our fathers would not obey: But cast it from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

⁵ Then said Paul, "I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest. For it is written, 'Thou shalt not curse the ruler of thy people.'"

¹⁷ If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

⁸ He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, which hath sent his holy spirit among you.

¹⁰ and whoremongers; to them that defile themselves with mankind; to menstealers; to liars and to perjured, and so forth if there be any other thing that is contrary to wholesome doctrine

¹⁷ Obey them that have the oversight of you, and submit yourselves to them, for they watch for your souls, even as they that must give accounts for them: that they may do it with joy, and not with grief. For that is an unprofitable thing for you.

¹⁷ See that ye honour all men. Love brotherly fellowship, fear God, and honour the King.

¹⁰ namely, them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise the rulers. Presumptuous are they, and stubborn, and fear not to speak evil of them that are in authority; ¹¹ when the angels, which are greater both in power and might, receive not of the Lord railing judgment against them. ¹² But these, as brute beasts, naturally made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of that they know not, and shall perish through their own destruction,

⁹ Yet Michael the archangel, when he strove against the devil, and disputed the body of Moses, durst not give railing sentence, but said, "The Lord rebuke thee." ¹⁰ But these speak evil of those things which they know not. In those things which they know naturally — as beasts which are without reason — they corrupt themselves.

⁶ And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab beside Bethpeor: but no man wist of his sepulchre unto this day.

¹⁷ And David went out to them and answered and said to them, "If ye be come peaceably unto me, to help me, mine heart shall be together with you. But and if you come to beguile me and to be mine adversary, seeing there is no wickedness in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon and rebuke it."

¹³ And Rabshakeh stood stiff, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' tongue, and said, "Now take heed, how the great king of the Assyrians giveth you warning! ¹⁴ Thus sayeth the king, 'Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you.' ¹⁵ Moreover, let not Hezekiah comfort you in the LORD, when he sayeth, 'The LORD with out doubt shall defend us, and shall not give over this city into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.' Believe him not! ¹⁶ But thus sayeth the king of Assyria, 'Obtain my favour, incline to me: so may every man enjoy his vineyards and fig trees, and drink the water of his cistern: ¹⁷ Unto the time that I come myself, and bring you into a land that is like your own: wherein is wheat and wine, which is both sown with seed, and planted with vineyards.' ¹⁸ Let not Hezekiah deceive you, when he sayeth unto you, 'The LORD shall deliver us.' Might the gods of the Gentiles keep every man's land, from the power of the king of the Assyrians? ¹⁹ Where is the God of Hamath and Arpad? Where is the God of Sepharvaim? And who was able to defend Samaria out of my hand? ²⁰ Or which, of all the Gods of the lands, hath delivered their country out of my power, so that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem from my hand?" ²¹ Unto this Hezekiah's messengers held their tongues, and answered not one word: for the king had charged them that they should give him none answer.

³ and they said unto him, "Thus sayeth Hezekiah, 'This is the day of trouble, of plague, and of wrath: like as when a child cometh to the birth, but the woman hath no power to bring it forth. ⁴ The LORD thy God, no doubt, hath well considered the words of Rabshakeh, whom his lord the king of the Assyrians hath sent, to defy and blaspheme the living God: with such words as the LORD thy God hath heard right well. And therefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that yet are left.'"

¹⁰ "Say thus to Hezekiah king of Judah: Let not thy God deceive thee, in whom thou hopest, and which sayest, 'Jerusalem shall not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.' ¹¹ For thou knowest well how the kings of Assyria have handled all the lands that they have subverted; and hopest thou to escape? ¹² Were the people of the Gentiles - whom my progenitors conquered - delivered at any time through their gods? As namely, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which dwell at Telassar. ¹³ Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?'" ¹⁴ Now when Hezekiah had received the letter of the messengers, and read it; he went up into the house of the LORD, and opened the letter before the LORD. ¹⁵ And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD on this manner, ¹⁶ "O LORD of Hosts, thou God of Israel, which dwellest upon Cherubim; Thou art the God, that only is God of all the kingdoms of the world, for thou only hast created heaven and earth. ¹⁷ Incline thine ear LORD, and consider, open thine eyes, O LORD, and see; and ponder all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent his embassage to blaspheme the living God. ¹⁸ It is true, O LORD, that the kings of Assyria have conquered all kingdoms and lands, ¹⁹ and cast their gods in the fire. Notwithstanding, those were no gods; but the works of men's hands, of wood or stone, therefore have they destroyed them. ²⁰ Deliver us then, O LORD our God, from the hands of Sennacherib, that all kingdoms of the earth may know, that thou only art the LORD."

¹³ had not the prince over the kingdom of the Persians withstood me twenty one days. But lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; him have I left by the king of Persia,

²¹ Nevertheless, I will show thee the thing that is fast noted in the scripture of truth. And as for all yonder matters, there is none that helpeth me in them, but Michael your prince.

¹ The time will come also, that the great prince Michael, which standeth on thy people side, shall arise up, for there shall come a time of trouble, such as never was, since there began to be any people, unto that same time. Then shall thy people be delivered, yea all those that be found written in the book.

² And the LORD said unto Satan, 'The LORD reprove thee, thou Satan; yea, the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem, reprove thee. Is not this a brand taken out of the fire?'

²⁹ And they that went by, railed on him: wagging their heads, and saying, "A wretch, that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days.

³⁹ And one of the evildoers which hanged, railed on him, saying, "If thou be Christ, save thyself and us." ⁴⁰ The others answered and rebuked him, saying, "Neither fearest thou God because thou art in the same damnation?

¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, and the voice of the archangel, and trump of God. And the dead in Christ shall arise first:

⁹ not rendering evil for evil, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrariwise, bless: remembering that ye are thereunto called, even that ye should be heirs of blessing.

¹¹ when the angels, which are greater both in power and might, receive not of the Lord railing judgment against them.

⁷ And there was great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon and the dragon fought and his angels,

²¹ inasmuch as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful: but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations. And their foolish hearts were blinded. ²² When they counted themselves wise, they became fools

¹² But these, as brute beasts, naturally made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of that they know not, and shall perish through their own destruction,

³ And it fortuned, in process of time, that Cain brought of the fruit of the earth an offering unto the LORD. ⁴ And Abel, he brought also of the firstlings of his sheep and of the fat of them. And the LORD looked unto Abel and to his offering: ⁵ but unto Cain and unto his offering, looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceedingly, and lowered. ⁶ And the LORD said unto Cain, "Why art thou angry, and why lowerest thou? Knowest thou not, if thou dost well thou shalt receive it? ⁷ But and if thou dost evil, by and by thy sin lieth open in the door. Notwithstanding, let it be subdued unto thee, and see thou rule it." ⁸ And Cain talked with Abel his brother. And as soon as they were in the fields, Cain fell upon Abel his brother and slew him. ⁹ And the LORD said unto Cain, "Where is Abel thy brother?" And he said, "I can not tell, am I my brother's keeper?" ¹⁰ And he said, "What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood cryeth unto me out of the earth. ¹¹ And now cursed be thou as pertaining to the earth, which opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood of thine hand. ¹² For when thou tillest the ground she shall henceforth not give her power unto thee. A vagabond and a renegade shalt thou be upon the earth." ¹³ And Cain said unto the LORD, "My sin is greater, than that it may be forgiven. ¹⁴ Behold, thou castest me out this day from off the face of the earth, and from thy sight must I hide myself, and I must be a vagabond and a renegade upon the earth: Moreover whosoever findeth me, will kill me."

¹ And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi; and Dathan and Abiram, the son of Eliab; and On the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben, ² stood up before Moses, with other of the children of Israel: two hundred and fifty, heads of the congregation, and councilors, and men of fame. ³ And they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, "Ye have done enough. For all the multitude are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them. Why therefore heave ye yourselves up above the congregation of the LORD?" ⁴ When Moses heard it, he fell upon his face ⁵ and spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, "Tomorrow the LORD will show who is his and who is holy, and will take them unto him, and whomsoever he hath chosen, he will cause to come to him. ⁶ This do: take firepans, thou Korah and all thy company, ⁷ and do fire therein and put cense thereto before the LORD tomorrow: And then whomsoever the LORD doeth chose, the same is holy. Ye make enough to do, ye children of Levi." ⁸ And Moses said unto Korah, "Hear, ye children of Levi: ⁹ Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel to bring you to him, to do the service of the dwelling place of the LORD, and to stand before the people to minister unto them? ¹⁰ He hath taken thee to him and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, and ye seek the office of the priest also. ¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: for what is Aaron, that ye should murmur against him?" ¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they answered, "We will not come. ¹³ Seemeth it a small thing unto thee that thou hast brought us out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness; but that thou shouldest reign over us also? ¹⁴ Moreover, thou hast brought us unto no land that floweth with milk and honey, neither hast given us possessions of fields or of vines. Either wilt thou pull out the eyes of these men? We will not come." ¹⁵ And Moses waxed very angry and said unto the LORD, "Turn not unto their offerings. I have not taken so much as an ass from them, neither have vexed any of them." ¹⁶ Then Moses said unto Korah, "Be thou and all thy company before the LORD: both thou, they, and Aaron tomorrow. ¹⁷ And take every man his censer and put cense in them, and come before the LORD every man with his censer: two hundred and fifty censers, and Aaron with his censer." ¹⁸ And they took every man his censer and put fire in them and laid cense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of witness, and Moses and Aaron also. ¹⁹ And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of witness. And the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation. ²⁰ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, ²¹ "Separate yourselves from this congregation, that I may consume them at once." ²² And they fell upon their faces, and said, "O most mighty God of the spirits of all flesh; one man hath sinned, and wilt thou be wroth with all the multitude?" ²³ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ²⁴ "Speak unto the congregation, and say, 'Get you away from about the dwelling of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.'" ²⁵ And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. ²⁶ And he spake unto the congregation, saying, "Depart from the tents of these wicked men and touch nothing of theirs: lest ye perish in all their sins." ²⁷ And they gat them from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stood in the door of their tents with their wives, their sons and their children. ²⁸ And Moses said, "Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works, and that I have not done them of mine own mind: ²⁹ If these men die the common death of all men or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, then the LORD hath not sent me. ³⁰ But and if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth and swallow them and all that pertain unto them, so that they go down quick in to hell: then ye shall understand, that these men have railed upon the LORD." ³¹ And as soon as he had made an end of speaking all these words, the ground clove asunder that was under them, ³² and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them and their houses and all the men that were with Korah and all their goods. ³³ And they and all that pertained unto them, went down alive unto hell, and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the congregation. ³⁴ And all Israel that were about them, fled at the cry of them. For they said, "The earth might haply swallow us also." ³⁵ And there came out a fire from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered cense.

¹ And the children of Israel removed, and pitched in the fields of Moab, on the other side of Jordan, by Jericho. ² And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites, ³ and the Moabites were sore afraid of the people, because they were many; and abhorred the children of Israel. ⁴ And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, "Now this company hath licked up all that are round about us, as an ox licketh up the grass of the field." And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time. ⁵ And he sent messengers unto Balaam the son of Beor, the interpreter, which dwelt upon the river of the land of the children of his folk; to call him, saying, "Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt which covereth the face of the earth and lie even hard by me. ⁶ Come now a fellowship, and curse me this people. For they are too mighty for me, so peradventure I might be able to smite them and to drive them out of the land. For I know that whom thou blessest shall be blessed, and whom thou cursest shall be cursed." ⁷ And the elders of Moab went with the elders of Midian, and the reward of the soothsaying in their hands. And they came unto Balaam and told him the words of Balak. ⁸ And he said unto them, "Tarry here all night and I will bring you word, even as the LORD shall say unto me." And the lords of Moab abode with Balaam. ⁹ And God came unto Balaam, and said, "What men are these which are with thee?" ¹⁰ And Balaam said unto God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, ¹¹ 'Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt and covereth the face of the earth: come now therefore and curse me them, that so peradventure I may be able to overcome them in battle, and to drive them out.'" ¹² And God said unto Balaam, "Thou shalt not go with them, neither curse the people: for they are blessed." ¹³ And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the lords of Balak, "Get you unto your land, for the LORD will not suffer me to go with you." ¹⁴ And the lords of Moab rose up and went unto Balak and said, "Balaam would not come with us." ¹⁵ And Balak sent again a greater company of lords, and more honorable than they. ¹⁶ And they came to Balaam and told him, "Thus sayeth Balak, the son of Zippor: 'Oh, let nothing let thee to come unto me, ¹⁷ for I will greatly promote thee unto great honour, and will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me! Come therefore I pray thee, curse me this people.'" ¹⁸ And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, "If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can go no further than the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. ¹⁹ Nevertheless tarry ye here all night: that I may know what the LORD will say unto me once more." ²⁰ And God came to Balaam by night and said unto him, "If the men come to fetch thee, rise up and go with them: but what I say unto thee, that only thou shalt do." ²¹ And Balaam rose up early and saddled his ass and went with the lords of Moab. ²² But God was angry because he went. And the angel of the LORD stood in the way against him. And he rode upon his ass and two servants with him. ²³ And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD stand in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, she turned aside out of the way and went out into the field. And Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. ²⁴ And the angel of the LORD went and stood in a path between the vineyards, where was a wall on the one side and another on the other.

⁹ And the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, councilors in the congregation, which strove against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD. ¹⁰ And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them and Korah also, when the multitude died, what time the fire consumed two hundred and fifty men, and they became a sign:

¹⁶ Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD by the reason of Peor: and there followed a plague among the congregation of the LORD.

⁴ because they met you not with bread and water in the way when ye came out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor, the interpreter of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

⁹ Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor for to curse you. ¹⁰ But I would not agree to hearken unto Balaam, and therefore he blessed you: And so I delivered you out of his hand. ¹¹ And when ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho, the citizens of Jericho fought against you: the Amorites, Perezites, Cananites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, Jebusites which I delivered into your hands.

⁹ The changing of their countenance betrayeth them; yea, they declare their own sins themselves, as Sodom, and hide them not. Woe be unto their souls, for they shall be heavily rewarded.

¹¹ But woe be unto the ungodly and unrighteous, for they shall be rewarded after their works.

²⁷ thy adultery, thy deadly malice, thy beastliness, and thy shameful whoredom. For upon the fields and hills I have seen thy abominations. Woe be unto thee, O Jerusalem. When wilt thou ever be cleansed any more?"

³ Thus sayeth the LORD God: Woe be unto those foolish prophets that follow their own spirit, and speak where they see nothing.

⁵ Remember, O my people, what Balak the king of Moab had imagined against thee, and what answer that Balaam the son of Beor gave him, from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the loving-kindness of the LORD.

¹⁷ O idle shepherd, that leaveth the flock! The sword shall come upon his arm and upon his right eye. His arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be sore blinded."

²¹ "Woe be to thee, Chorazsin! Woe be to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles, which were showed in you, had been done in Tyre and in Sidon: they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

¹³ Woe be unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven before men: ye yourselves go not in, neither suffer ye them that come to enter in. ¹⁴ Woe be unto you, scribes and Pharisees, for ye devour widows' houses: and that, under a colour of praying long prayers, wherefore ye shall receive greater damnation. ¹⁵ Woe be unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye which compass sea and land, to bring one into your belief: and when he is brought, ye make him twofold more the child of hell, than ye yourselves are. ¹⁶ Woe be unto you, blind guides, for ye which say, 'Whosoever swear by the temple, it is nothing: but whosoever swear by the gold of the temple, he offendeth.'

⁴² But woe be to you Pharisees: for ye tithe the mint, and rue, and all manner herbs; and pass over judgment, and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and yet not to have left the other undone. ⁴³ Woe be to you Pharisees: for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. ⁴⁴ Woe be to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are as graves which appear not; And the men that walk over them, are not aware of them." ⁴⁵ Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, "Master, thus saying, thou puttest us to rebuke also." ⁴⁶ Then he said, "Woe be to you also ye lawyers: for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be born, and ye yourselves touch not the packs with one of your fingers. ⁴⁷ Woe be to you that build the sepulchers of the prophets: for your fathers killed them:

⁴ By faith, Abel offered unto God a more plenteous sacrifice than Cain: by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by which also he being dead, yet speaketh.

¹⁵ and have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, which loved the reward of unrighteousness:

¹² and not be as Cain, which was of the devil and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? For his own deeds were evil, and his brother's righteous.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast, there, they that maintain the doctrine of Balaam, which taught in Balak to put occasion of sin before the children of Israel, that they should eat of meat dedicated unto idols, and to commit fornication.

²⁰ then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them, and will cast this house which I have sanctified for my name out of my sight, and will make a proverb and a tale of it among all nations.

³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the waterside, that will bring forth his fruit in due season. His leaf, also, shall not wither; and, look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper.

² For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and be withered even as the green herb.

²⁹ So they ate, and were filled, for he gave them their own desire. ³⁰ And they were not disappointed of their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, ³¹ the heavy wrath of God came upon them, and slew the wealthiest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

¹⁴ Whoso maketh great boasts and giveth nothing, is like clouds and wind without rain.

¹⁰ For his watchmen are all blind, they have altogether no understanding. They are all dumb dogs, no being able to bark; they are sleepery, sluggish, and lie snorting. ¹¹ They are shameless dogs, that be never satisfied. The shepherds also in like manner have no understanding, but every man turneth his own way, everyone after his own covetousness, with all his power. ¹² "Come," say they, "I will fetch wine, so shall we fill ourselves, that we may be drunken. And do tomorrow, like as today; yea, and much more."

⁹ Speak thou therefore, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Shall this vine prosper? Shall not his roots be plucked out, his fruit be broken off, his green branches wither and fade away? Yea without either strong armies or many people, shall it be plucked up by the roots.

² "Thou son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and speak unto them, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Woe be unto the shepherds of Israel, that feed themselves. Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

⁸ Thus sayeth the LORD God: As truly as I live, forsomuch as my sheep are robbed, and devoured of all the wild beasts of the field, having no shepherd: and seeing that my shepherds take no regard of my sheep, but feed themselves only, and not my sheep:

¹⁰ Thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I myself will upon the shepherds, and require my sheep from their hands, and make them cease from feeding of my sheep: Yea the shepherds shall feed themselves no more: For I will deliver my sheep out of their mouths, so that they shall not devour them after this.

¹⁸ Was it not enough for you, to eat up the good pasture, but ye must tread down the residue of your pastures with your feet also? Was it not enough for you to drink clear water, but ye must trouble the residue also with your feet?

⁴ O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, how shall I entreat thee? Seeing your love is like a morning cloud, and like a dew that goeth early away.

⁶ And when the sun was up, it caught heat, and for lack of rooting withered away.

¹³ He answered, and said, "All plants which my heavenly father hath not planted, shall be plucked up by the roots.

¹⁹ and spied a fig tree in the way, and came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said to it, "Never fruit grow on thee hence forwards." And anon the fig tree withered away. ²⁰ And when his disciples saw that, they marveled saying, "How soon is the fig tree withered away!"

⁶ but as soon as the sun was up, it caught heat: and because it had not rooting it withered away.

²⁰ And in the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up by the roots. ²¹ And Peter remembered, and said unto him, "Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst, is withered away."

⁶ And some fell on stone, and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moistness.

¹⁹ and I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up in store for many years, take thine ease: eat, drink and be merry.' ²⁰ But God said unto him, 'Thou fool, this night will they fetch away thy soul again from thee. Then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?'

⁴⁵ But and if the evil servant shall say in his heart, 'My master will defer his coming,' and shall begin to smite the servants, and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken:

¹⁹ "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple, and fine bysse, and fared deliciously every day.

³⁴ Take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be overcome with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this world: and that, that day come on you unawares.

⁴ Abide in me, and let me abide in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine: no more can ye, except ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. For without me can ye do nothing. ⁶ If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered: and men gather it and cast it into the fire, and it burneth.

²⁰ When ye come together in one place, a man cannot eat the Lord's supper. ²¹ For every man beginneth afore to eat his own supper. And one is hungry, and another is drunken. ²² Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or else despise ye the congregation of God? And shame them that have not? What shall I say unto you? Shall I praise you? In this praise I you not.

¹⁹ whose end is damnation, whose God is their belly and whose glory is to their shame, which are worldly minded.

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep as do others: but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For they that sleep, sleep in the night: and they that be drunken, are drunken in the night.

⁶ but she that liveth in pleasure, is dead even yet alive.

⁴ For it is not possible that they which were once lighted, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were become partakers of the holy ghost, ⁵ and have tasted of the good word of God, and of the power of the world to come; ⁶ if they fall away, should be renewed again unto repentance: Forasmuch as they have, as concerning themselves, crucified the son of God afresh, making a mock of him. ⁷ For that earth which drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them that dress it, receiveth blessing of God: ⁸ but that ground, which beareth thorns and briars, is reproved, and is nigh unto cursing: whose end is to be burned.

⁵ Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth and in wantonness. Ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

¹³ and receive the reward of unrighteousness. They count it pleasure to live deliciously for a season. Spots they are, and filthiness, living at pleasure, and in deceitful ways feasting with you: ¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease to sin, beguiling unstable souls. Hearts they have exercised with covetousness. They are cursed children,

¹⁷ These are wells without water, and clouds carried about of a tempest, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever. ¹⁸ For when they have spoken the swelling words of vanity, they beguile with wantonness through the lusts of the flesh them that were clean escaped: but now are wrapped in errors. ¹⁹ They promise them liberty, and are themselves the bondservants of corruption. For of whomsoever a man is overcome, unto the same is he in bondage. ²⁰ For if they, after they have escaped from the filthiness of the world through the knowledge of the Lord, and of the saviour Jesus Christ, they are yet tangled again therein and overcome: then is the latter end worse with them than the beginning.

⁷ who stilleth the raging of the sea, the roaring of his waves, and the madness of the people.

³ The floods are risen, O LORD. The floods have lift up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. ⁴ The waves of the sea are mighty, and rage horribly; but yet the LORD that dwelleth on high is mightier.

²⁰ But the wicked are like the raging sea, that cannot rest; whose water foameth with the mire and gravel.

²² Fear ye not me, sayeth the LORD? Are ye not ashamed, to look me in the face? Which bind the sea with the sand, so that it cannot pass his bounds: for though it rage, yet can it do nothing; and though the waves thereof do swell, yet may they not go over. ²³ But this people hath a false and an obstinate heart, they are departed and gone away from me.

¹³ But the evil men and deceivers, shall wax worse and worse, while they deceive, and are deceived themselves.

¹⁷ These are wells without water, and clouds carried about of a tempest, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever.

¹⁰ And the third angel blew, and there fell a great star from heaven burning as it were a lamp, and it fell into the third part of the rivers, and into fountains of waters, ¹¹ and the name of the star is called wormwood. And the third part was turned to wormwood. And many men died of the waters because they were made bitter.

¹⁰ the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured in the cup of his wrath. And he shall be punished in fire and brimstone, before the holy angels, and before the lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up evermore. And they have no rest day nor night, which worship the beast, and his image, and whosoever receiveth the print of his name."

⁸ But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

¹⁸ And Jared lived a hundred and sixty two years, and begat Enoch:

²¹ And Enoch lived sixty five years, and begat Methuselah. ²² And Enoch walked with God, after he had begot Methuselah, three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: ²³ And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty five years, ²⁴ and then Enoch lived a godly life, and was no more seen - for God took him away.

² saying, "The LORD came from Sinai, and showed his beams from Seir unto them; and appeared gloriously from mount Paran, and he came with thousands of saints, and in his righthand a law of fire for them.

¹ Adam, Seth, Enosh; ² Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared; ³ Enoch, Mathuselah, Lamech;

²⁵ "For I am sure that my redeemer liveth, and that I shall rise out of the earth in the latter day: ²⁶ that I shall be clothed again with this skin, and see God in my flesh. ²⁷ Yea, I myself shall behold him - not with other, but with these same eyes, though my reins are consumed within me.

³ Our God shall come, and not keep silence: there shall go before him a consuming fire, and a mighty tempest shall be stirred up round about him. ⁴ He shall call the heavens from above, and the earth, that he may judge his people. ⁵ "Gather my saints together unto me, those that set more by the covenant than by any offering."

⁹ "I looked till the seats were prepared, and till the Ancient of Days sat him down. His clothing was white as snow, and the hairs of his head like the pure wool. His throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as the burning fire. ¹⁰ There drew forth a fiery stream, and went out from him. A thousand times a thousand served him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set, and the books opened.

⁵ And ye shall flee unto the valley of my hills, for the valley of the hills shall reach unto Asia. Yea, flee shall ye, like as ye fled for the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And the LORD my God shall come, and all saints with him.

²⁷ For the son of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his angels, and then shall he reward every man according to his deeds.

³⁰ And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven. And then shall all the kindreds of the earth mourn, and they shall see the son of man come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. ³¹ And he shall send his angels with the great voice of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, and from the one end of the world to the other.

³¹ "When the son of man shall cometh in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his glory

¹³ to make your hearts that they might be stable and unblamable in holiness before God our father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints.

⁷ and to you which are troubled, rest with us; when the Lord Jesus shall show himself from heaven, with his mighty angels, ⁸ in flaming fire, rendering vengeance unto them that know not God, and to them that obey not unto the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁵ By faith was Enoch translated that he should not see death; neither was he found, for God had taken him away. Before he was taken away, he was reported of that he had pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: For he that cometh to God, must believe that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek him.

⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him: and they also which pierced him. And all kindreds of the earth shall wail. Even so, amen.

⁸ And moreover spake Moses, "At evening the LORD will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread enough, because the LORD hath heard your murmur which ye murmur against him: for what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the LORD."

³ Let go your great boasting of high things, let go out of your mouth that old byword: for the LORD is a God that knoweth all things, and judgeth the thoughts.

⁷ But the LORD shall endure forever; he hath also prepared his seat for judgment. ⁸ For he shall judge the world in righteousness, and minister true judgment unto the people.

¹⁸ Let the lying lips be put to silence, which cruelly, disdainfully, and despitefully speak against the righteous.

⁶ He shall make thy righteousness as clear as the light, and thy just dealing as the noonday.

¹ {The Psalm of Asaph} The LORD, even the most mighty God, hath spoken, and called the world; from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same. ² Out of Zion hath God appeared in perfect beauty. ³ Our God shall come, and not keep silence: there shall go before him a consuming fire, and a mighty tempest shall be stirred up round about him. ⁴ He shall call the heavens from above, and the earth, that he may judge his people. ⁵ "Gather my saints together unto me, those that set more by the covenant than by any offering." ⁶ And the heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God is judge himself. Selah.

⁹ They stretch forth their mouth unto the heaven, and their tongue goeth through the world.

⁴ How long shall all wicked doers speak so disdainfully, and make such proud boasting?

⁹ before the LORD; for he is come to judge the earth. With righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

⁹ that they may be avenged of them, as it is written. Such honour have all his saints. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

⁹ Be glad then, O thou young man, in thy youth, and let thine heart be merry in thy young days; follow the ways of thine own heart, and the lust of thine eyes: but be thou sure, that God shall bring thee into judgment for all these things.

¹⁴ For God shall judge all works and secret things, whether they be good or evil.

²² this is the answer, that the LORD hath given concerning him: Despised art thou, and mocked, O daughter of Zion, he hath shaken his head at thee, O daughter of Jerusalem. ²³ But thou Sennacherib, whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? And against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice, and exalted thy proud looks? Even against the holy one of Israel. ²⁴ Thou with thy servants hast blasphemed the LORD and thus holdest thou of thyself, I cover the high mountains, and sides of Lebanon with my horsemen. And there will I cut down the high Cedar trees and the fairest Fir trees. I will up into the height of it, and into the chiefest of his timber woods. ²⁵ If there be no water, I will grave and drink. And as for waters of defense, I shall dry them up with the feet of mine Host. ²⁶ Yea, sayest thou, hast thou not heard what I have taken in hand, and brought to pass of old time? That same will I do now also: waste, destroy, and bring the strong cities into heaps of stones. ²⁷ For their inhabiters shall be like lame men, brought in fear and confounded. They shall be like the grass and green herbs in the field, like the hay upon housetops, that withereth afore it be grown up. ²⁸ I know thy ways, thy going forth and thy coming home, yea and thy madness against me. ²⁹ Therefore thy furiousness against me, and thy pride is come before me. I will put a ring in thy nose, and a bridle bit in the jaws of thee, and turn thee about, even the same way thou camest. ³⁰ I will give thee also this token, O Hezekiah: this year shalt thou eat that is kept in store, and the next year such as groweth of himself, and in the third year ye shall sow and reap, yea ye shall plant vineyards, and enjoy the fruits thereof. ³¹ And such of the house of Judah as are escaped, shall come together, and the remnant shall take root beneath, and bring forth fruit above. ³² For the escaped shall go out of Jerusalem, and the remnant from the mount Zion. And this shall the jealousy of the LORD of Hosts bring to pass.' ³³ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD, concerning the king of the Assyrians, 'He shall not come into the city, and shall shoot no arrow into it, there shall no shield hurt it, neither shall they grave about it. ³⁴ The same way that he came, shall he return, and not come at this city, sayeth the LORD. ³⁵ And I will keep and save the city, sayeth he: for mine own, and for my servant David's sake.'" ³⁶ Thus the angel went forth, and slew of the Assyrians host, a hundred and eighty five thousand. And when men arose up early, at Jerusalem: Behold, all lay full of dead bodies.

²⁰ I desired also to know the truth, as touching the ten horns that he had upon his head, and this other which came up afterward, before whose face there fell down three: which horn had eyes and a mouth that spake presumptuous things, and looked with a grimmer visage than his fellows.

³⁶ The king shall do what him list, he shall exalt and magnify himself against all that is God. Yea, he shall speak marvelous things against the God of all gods, wherein he shall prosper, so long till the wrath be fulfilled, for the conclusion is devised already.

¹³ Ye speak hard words against me, sayeth the LORD. And yet ye say, 'What have we spoken against thee?' ¹⁴ Ye have said, 'It is but lost labour, to serve God: What profit have we for keeping his commandments, and for walking humbly before the LORD of Hosts? ¹⁵ Therefore may we say, that the proud are happy, and that they which deal with ungodliness, are set up: for they tempt God and yet escape.'

³¹ Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but the blasphemy of the spirit shall not be forgiven unto men. ³² And whosoever speaketh a word against the son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the holy ghost, it shall not be forgiven him: no, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. ³³ Either make the tree good, and his fruit good also, or else make the tree evil, and his fruit evil also. For the tree is known by his fruit. ³⁴ O generation of vipers, how can ye say well, when ye yourselves are evil? For of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. ³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth good things. And an evil man out of his evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things. ³⁶ But I say unto you, that of every idle word, that men shall have spoken, they shall give accounts at the day of judgment. ³⁷ For by thy words thou shalt be justified: and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

²² Neither judgeth the father any man: but hath committed all judgment unto the son, ²³ because that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the son, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent him.

²⁷ And hath given him power also to judge in that he is the son of man.

³¹ because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world according to righteousness, by that man, whom he hath appointed, and hath offered faith to all men, after that he had raised him from death."

⁵ But thou, after thine hard heart that cannot repent, heapest thee together the treasure of wrath against the day of vengeance: when shall be opened the righteous judgment of God,

¹⁶ at the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, by Jesus Christ according to my Gospel.

¹⁹ Yea and we know that whatsoever the law saith, he saith it to them which are under the law: That all mouths may be stopped, and all the world be subdued to God, ²⁰ because that by the deeds of the law, shall no flesh be justified in the sight of God. For by the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

¹⁰ But why doest thou then judge thy brother? Other why dost thou despise thy brother? We shall all be brought before the judgment seat of Christ.

⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God.

¹³ Them that are without, God shall judge. Put away from among you that evil person.

⁹ understanding this, how that the law is not given unto a righteous man, but unto the unrighteous and disobedient, to the ungodly and to sinners, to unholy and unclean, to murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, to manslayers

⁶ and turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, overthrew them, damned them, and made of them an example unto all that after should live ungodly; ⁷ And just Lot, vexed with the uncleanly conversation of the wicked, delivered he - ⁸ For he being righteous and dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds - ⁹ The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and how to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment for to be punished:

¹⁶ These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts, whose mouths speak proud things. They have men in great reverence because of advantage.

⁵ And there was a mouth given unto him that spake great things, and blasphemies, and power was given unto him, to continue forty two months. ⁶ And he opened his mouth unto blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

¹¹ And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as did the dragon.

¹² "And behold, I come shortly, and my reward with me, to give every man according as his deeds shall be. ¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." ¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commandments, that their power may be in the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. ¹⁵ For without shall be dogs and enchanters, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth or maketh lies.

²⁰ He which testifieth these things saith, "Be it. I come quickly, Amen." Even so, come Lord Jesus.

¹⁵ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment. Thou shalt not favour the poor nor honour the mighty, but shalt judge thy neighbour righteously.

³⁶ And the men which Moses sent to search the land, and which — when they came again — made all the people to murmur against it, in that they brought up a slander upon the land;

¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: for what is Aaron, that ye should murmur against him?"

²⁷ and murmured in your tents and said, 'Because the LORD hateth us, therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites and to destroy us.

⁴ Thou hast withholden their hearts from understanding, therefore shall they not be set up on high. ⁵ He promiseth his friends part of his good, but his own children spend it.

²¹ I will regard no manner of person, no man will I spare.

¹⁹ 'Ungodly men are ye.' He hath none respect unto the persons of the lordly, and regardeth not the rich more than the poor. For they be all the work of his hands.

⁴ He that sitteth not by himself, but is lowly in his own eyes, and maketh much of them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth unto his neighbour, and disappointeth him not, though it were to his own hindrance.

¹⁰ They are enclosed in their own fat, and their mouth speaketh proud things.

⁹ They stretch forth their mouth unto the heaven, and their tongue goeth through the world. ¹⁰ Therefore fall the people unto them, and there out suck they no small advantage. ¹¹ "Tush," say they, "How should God perceive it? Is there knowledge in the most high?"

²⁵ but murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

²¹ To have respect of persons in judgment is not good: And why? He will do wrong; yea, even for a piece of bread.

²⁴ They also which have been of an erroneous spirit shall come to understanding, and they that have been scornful shall learn doctrine."

³⁰ And the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why eat ye and drink ye, with publicans and sinners?"

² And the Pharisees, and scribes murmured, saying, "He received to his company sinners, and eateth with them."

⁷ And when they saw that, they all grudged saying, "He is gone in to tarry with a man that is a sinner."

⁴¹ The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, "I am that bread which is come down from heaven."

⁶¹ Jesus knew, in himself, that his disciples murmured at it, and said unto them, "Doth this offend you?

¹⁰ Neither murmur ye as some of them murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

¹⁶ I say, walk in the spirit, and fulfil not the lusts of the flesh.

²⁴ They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, with the appetites and lusts.

¹⁴ Do all things without murmuring and disputing,

⁵ and not in the lust of concupiscence, as do the heathen, which know not God,

⁵ and vain disputations of men with corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, which think that lucre is godliness. From such, separate thyself.

³ For the time will come, when they will not suffer wholesome doctrine: but after their own lusts shall they whose ears itch get them a heap of teachers,

¹⁴ But every man is tempted, drawn away, and enticed of his own concupiscence. ¹⁵ Then when lust hath conceived, she bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death.

¹ Brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory in respect of persons. ² If there come into your company a man with a golden ring, and in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment, ³ and ye have a respect to him that weareth the gay clothing and say unto him, "Sit thou here in a good place," and say unto the poor, "stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool" - ⁴ are ye not even partial in your selves, and have judged after evil thoughts? ⁵ Hearken, my dear beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world, which are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to them that love him? ⁶ But ye have despised the poor. Are not the rich they which oppress you: and they which draw you before judges? ⁷ Do not they speak evil of that good name after which ye be named? ⁸ If ye fulfil the royal law — according to the scripture which saith, "Thou shalt love thine neighbour as thyself" — ye do well. ⁹ But if ye regard one person more than another, ye commit sin, and are rebuked of the law as transgressors.

¹⁴ as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves unto your old lusts of ignorance:

¹¹ Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers, and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which fight against the soul,

² that he henceforward should live as much time as remaineth in the flesh, not after the lusts of men: but after the will of God.

¹⁸ For when they have spoken the swelling words of vanity, they beguile with wantonness through the lusts of the flesh them that were clean escaped: but now are wrapped in errors.

³ This first understand: that there shall come in the last days mockers, which will walk after their own lusts

¹⁸ how that they told you that there should be beguilers in the last time, which should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

⁴ Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I committed unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and ordinances.

³⁵ I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to receive the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how that he said, 'It is more blessed to give, than to receive.'"

²⁰ and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets — Jesus Christ being the head cornerstone -

¹¹ And the very same, made some Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, some Shepherds, some Teachers:

² to call to remembrance the words which were told before of the holy prophets, and also the commandment of us; the apostles of the Lord and Saviour.

⁶ We be of God, and he that knoweth God heareth us: and he that is not of God, heareth us not. And hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

¹ {To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} The fool hath said in his heart, "Tush, there is no God." They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings; there is none that doeth good, no not one. ² The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that would understand and seek after God.

²⁹ For I am sure of this: that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, which will not spare the flock.

¹ The spirit speaketh evidently that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, and shall give heed unto spirits of error, ² and devilish doctrine of them which speak false through hypocrisy, and have their consciences marked with a hot iron,

¹ This understand, that in the last days shall come perilous times: ² For the men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to father and mother, unthankful, unholy, ³ unkind, trucebreakers, stubborn, false accusers, rioters, fierce, despisers of them which are good, ⁴ traitors, heady, high minded, greedy upon voluptuousness more than the lovers of God, ⁵ having a similitude of godly living, but have denied the power thereof. Such abhor.

¹ There were false prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you: which privily shall bring in damnable sects, even denying the Lord that hath bought them, and bring upon themselves swift damnation.

¹ He accompanieth himself with all steadfast and healthsome doctrine, that hath a desire to it and is sequestered from company.

⁵ If thou comest nigh them, they say, "Touch me not, for I am holier than thou." All these men when I am angry, shall be turned to smoke and fire, that shall burn forever.

⁷ For every man, whether he be of the house of Israel, or a stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which departeth from me, and carrieth idols in his heart, purposing to go still stumbling in his own wickedness, and cometh to a Prophet, for to ask counsel at me through him: unto that man will I the LORD give answer, by mine own self.

¹⁴ I will not punish your daughters for being defiled, and your brides that became whores: seeing the fathers themselves have meddled with harlots, and offered with unthriftiness: but the people that will not understand must be punished.

¹⁰ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness, and saw their fathers as the first figs in the top of the fig tree. But they are gone to Baalpeor, and run away from me to that shameful Idol, and are become as abominable as their lovers.

⁵ Jesus answered, "Verily, verily I say unto thee: Except that a man be born of water, and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh. And that which is born of the spirit, is spirit.

⁹ But ye are not given to the flesh; But to the spirit: If so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. If there be any man that hath not the spirit of Christ, the same is none of his.

¹⁴ For the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are but foolishness unto him: Neither can he perceive them, because he is spiritually examined.

¹⁹ Either, know ye not how that your bodies are the temple of the holy ghost, which is in you, whom he have of God, and how that ye are not your own?

²⁵ and let us not forsake the fellowship that we have among ourselves, as the manner of some is: but let us exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth nigh.

¹⁵ This wisdom descendeth not from above: but is earthy, and natural, and devilish.

¹⁰ Moreover, upon the house of David and upon the citizens of Jerusalem, will I pour out the spirit of grace and prayer, so that they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall beweep him, as men mourn for their only begotten son: Yea, and be sorry for him, as men are sorry for their first child

³¹ Then had the congregations rest, throughout all Jewry and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified, and walked in the fear of the Lord; And multiplied by the comfort of the holy ghost.

⁹ And he put no difference between them and us, but with faith purified their hearts.

¹⁸ to open their eyes that they might turn from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in me.'

¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage to fear anymore, but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, "Abba father."

²⁶ Likewise, the spirit also helpeth our infirmities. For we know not, what to desire as we ought: but the spirit maketh intercession mightily for us with groanings which cannot be expressed with tongue. ²⁷ And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the meaning of the spirit: for he maketh intercession for the saints according to the pleasure of God.

² Let every man please his neighbor unto his wealth and edifying.

⁸ which shall strengthen you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²³ All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but all things edify not.

⁴ He that speaketh with tongues, profiteth himself: he that prophesieth, edifieth the congregation. ⁵ I would that ye all spake with tongues: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he expound it also, that the congregation may have edifying.

¹⁵ What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and will pray with the mind also. I will sing with the spirit, and will sing with the mind also.

²⁶ How is it then brethren? When ye come together, every man hath his song, hath his doctrine, hath his tongue, hath his revelation, hath his interpretation: Let all things be done unto edifying.

⁶ Because ye are sons, God hath sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, which crieth "Abba, father."

¹² that the saints might have all things necessary to work and minister withal, to the edifying of the body of Christ,

¹⁶ in whom all the body is coupled and knit together, in every joint, wherewith one ministereth to another — according to the operation as every part hath his measure — and increaseth the body, unto the edifying of itself in love.

²⁹ Let no filthy communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to edify withal, when need is, that it may have favour with the hearers.

¹⁸ and pray always with all manner prayer and supplication — and that in the spirit — and watch thereunto with all instance and supplication for all saints,

⁷ and steadfast in the faith, as ye have learned: and therein be plenteous in giving thanks.

¹¹ Wherefore, comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as ye do.

⁴ neither give heed to fables and genealogies, which are endless, and breed doubts, more than Godly edifying which is by faith: ⁵ when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice: and am assured that it dwelleth in thee also.

¹ Paul, the servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to preach the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of that truth,

²² Thou seest how that faith wrought within his deeds, and through the deeds was the faith made perfect.

⁴ For all that is born of God, overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

³ Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, to exhort you, that ye should continually labour in the faith, which was once given unto the saints.

¹⁰ He that leadeth into captivity, shall go into captivity: he that killeth with a sword, must be killed with a sword. Here is the patience, and the faith of the saints.

¹⁴ May a dead man live again? All the days of this my pilgrimage am I looking, till my changing shall come.

²⁵ {Tet} O how good is the LORD unto them that put their trust in him, and to the soul that seeketh after him? ²⁶ O how good is it, with stillness, to wait and tarry for the health of the LORD?

⁴² Wake, therefore, because ye know not what hour your master will come. ⁴³ Of this be sure, that if the good man of the house knew what hour the thief would come: he would surely watch, and not suffer his house to be broken up. ⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also ready, for in the hour ye think least on, in the same ye think he would not: will the son of man come. ⁴⁵ If there be any faithful servant and wise, whom his master hath made ruler over his household, for to give them meat in season convenient; ⁴⁶ Happy is that servant: whom his master, when he cometh, shall find so doing. ⁴⁷ Verily I say unto you, he shall make him ruler over all his goods. ⁴⁸ But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, my master will defer his coming, ⁴⁹ and begin to smite his fellows: yea and to eat and to drink with the drunken: ⁵⁰ that servant's master will come in a day when he looketh not for him: and in a hour that he is not aware of, ⁵¹ and will divide him, and give him his reward with hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

³⁶ and ye yourselves, like unto men that wait for their master when he will return from a wedding: that as soon as he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him. ³⁷ Happy are those servants, which their Lord, when he cometh, shall find waking; Verily I say unto you, he will gird himself about, and make them sit down to meat, and walk by them, and minister unto them. ³⁸ And if he come in the second watch, yea, if he come in the third watch, and shall find them so, happy are those servants. ³⁹ This shall ye understand, that if the good man of the house knew what hour the thief would have come, he would surely have watched: and not suffer his house to be broken up. ⁴⁰ Be ye prepared therefore, for the son of man will come at a hour when ye think not."

¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

²¹ He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, the same is he that loveth me: and he shall be loved of my father, and I will love him, and will show mine own self unto him."

⁹ "AS the father hath loved me, even so have I loved you. Continue in my love. ¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love: even as I have kept my father's commandments, and abide in his love.

⁵ and hope maketh not ashamed: for the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the holy ghost, which is given unto us.

²¹ That as sin had reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, by the help of Jesus Christ.

²³ For the reward of sin is death: but eternal life is the gift of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

³⁹ neither height, neither lowth, neither any other creature shall be able to depart us from the love of God, showed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁵ And the Lord guide your hearts unto the love of God, and patience of Christ.

² Unto Timothy, his natural son in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God our father, and from Lord Jesus Christ, our Lord.

² To Timothy, his beloved son. Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the father, and from Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁶ The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

¹⁸ The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy with the Lord at that day. And in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus thou knowest very well.

⁸ From henceforth is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord that is a righteous judge shall give me at that day: not to me only: but unto all them that love his coming.

¹³ looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the mighty God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ: ¹⁴ which gave himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness, and to purge us a peculiar people unto himself, fervently given unto good works.

²⁸ even so Christ was once offered to take away the sins of many, and unto them that look for him, shall he appear again, without sin, unto their salvation.

¹² looking for, and hasting unto, the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens shall perish with fire, and the elements shall be consumed with heat.

¹⁶ Hereby are we assured of love: because he left his life for us: And therefore we ought also to give our lives for our brethren. ¹⁷ He, then, that hath the substance of the world, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him?

¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God in him.

¹⁰ He that believeth in the son of God hath the witness in himself. He that believeth not God, maketh him a liar, because he doth not believe the witness that God hath testified of his son. ¹¹ And this is the witness: how that God hath given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his son.

¹⁸ We know that all that are born of God, sin not: but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and that wicked toucheth him not.

²¹ Little children, beware of images. Amen. {Here ends the First General Epistle of John}

²⁴ Unto him that is able to keep you, that ye fall not, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with joy,

¹⁷ "'And as for you, O my sheep, sayeth the LORD God: I will put a difference among the sheep, among the wethers and the goats.

²⁰ I would I were with you now, and could change my voice, for I stand in a doubt of you.

¹ Brethren, if any man be fallen by chance into any fault, ye which are spiritual, help to amend him, in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

¹⁹ Brethren if any of you err from the truth, and another convert him, ²⁰ let the same know, that he which converted the sinner from going astray out of his way, shall save a soul from death, and shall hide the multitude of sins. {Here ends the General Epistle of James}

¹⁶ If any man see his brother sin a sin that is not to death, let him ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death, for which say I not that a man should pray. ¹⁷ All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not to death. ¹⁸ We know that all that are born of God, sin not: but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and that wicked toucheth him not.

⁴ For there are certain craftily crept in, of which it was written aforetime unto such judgement. They are ungodly, and turn the grace of our Lord God unto wantonness; And deny God the only Lord, and our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵ My mind is therefore to put you in remembrance, forasmuch as ye once know this, how that the Lord — after that he had delivered the people out of Egypt — destroyed them which afterward believed not: ⁶ The angels also, which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day: ⁷ even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them — which in like manner defiled themselves, with fornication, and followed strange flesh — are set forth for an example, and suffer the vengeance of eternal fire. ⁸ Likewise these dreamers defile the flesh, despise rulers, and speak evil of them that are in authority. ⁹ Yet Michael the archangel, when he strove against the devil, and disputed the body of Moses, durst not give railing sentence, but said, "The Lord rebuke thee." ¹⁰ But these speak evil of those things which they know not. In those things which they know naturally — as beasts which are without reason — they corrupt themselves. ¹¹ Woe be unto them, for they have followed the way of Cain, and are utterly given to the error of Balaam for lucre's sake, and are cast away in the treason of Korah. ¹² These are spots which of your kindness feast together, without fear, feeding themselves. Clouds they are without water, carried about of winds: and trees without fruit at gathering time, twice dead, and plucked up by the roots. ¹³ They are raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame. They are wandering stars, to whom is reserved the mist of darkness forever.

⁴⁷ When the plague of leprosy is in a cloth: whether it be linen or woolen, ⁴⁸ yea and whether it be in the warp or woof of the linen or of the woolen: either in a skin or any thing made of skin, ⁴⁹ if the disease be pale or somewhat reddish in the cloth or skin: whether it be in the warp or the woof or any thing that is made of skin, then it is a very leprosy, and must be showed unto the priest. ⁵⁰ And when the priest seeth the plague, let him shut it up seven days, ⁵¹ and let him look on the plague the seventh day. If it be increased in the cloth: whether it be in the warp or woof or in a skin or in anything that is made of skin, then the plague is a fretting leprosy, and it is unclean: ⁵² And that cloth shall be burnt, either warp or woof, whether it be woolen or linen or anything that is made of skin wherein the plague is, for it is a fretting leprosy, and shall be burnt in the fire. ⁵³ "If the priest see that the plague hath fretten no further in the cloth: either in the warp or woof or in whatsoever thing of skin it be, ⁵⁴ then let the priest command then to wash the thing wherein the plague is, and let him shut it up seven days more. ⁵⁵ And let the priest look on it again after that the plague is washed. If the plague have not changed his fashion though it be spread no further abroad, it is yet unclean. And see that ye burn it in the fire, for it is fretten inward: whether in part or in all together. ⁵⁶ But and if the priest see that it is somewhat blackish after that it is washed, let him rent it out of the cloth, or out of the skin or out of the warp or woof. ⁵⁷ But and if it appear any more in the cloth either in the warp or in the woof or in anything made of skin, then it is a waxing plague. And see that ye burn that with fire, wherein the plague is. ⁵⁸ Moreover, the cloth, either warp or woof or whatsoever thing of skin it be which thou hast washed and the plague be departed from it, shall be washed once again: and then it is clean. ⁵⁹ This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a cloth whether it be woolen or linen: either whether it be in the warp or woof, or in anything made of skins, to judge it clean or unclean."

⁴⁷ And he that sleepeth in the house shall wash his clothes, and he also that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

¹⁷ And all the clothes or furs whereon such seed chanceth shall be washed with water and be unclean unto the evening.

⁶ We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, stained with the flux of a woman: we fall every and each one as the leaf, for our sins carry us away like the wind.

¹⁴ {Nun} So that these blind men went stumbling in the streets, and stained themselves with blood, which else would touch no bloody cloth.

² And the LORD said unto Satan, 'The LORD reprove thee, thou Satan; yea, the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem, reprove thee. Is not this a brand taken out of the fire?' ³ Now Joshua was clothed in unclean raiment, and stood before the angel: ⁴ Which answered and said unto those that stood before him, 'Take away the foul clothes from him.' And unto him he said, 'Behold, I have taken away thy sin from thee, and will deck thee with change of raiment.' ⁵ He said moreover, 'Set a fair mitre upon his head; So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and put on clothes upon him, and the angel of the LORD stood there.

¹⁴ that I might provoke them which are my flesh: and might save some of them.

¹⁵ If any man's work burn; he shall suffer loss. But he shall be safe himself, nevertheless yet as it were through fire.

³ For I, verily, as absent in body, even so present in spirit, have determined already — as though I were present — of him that hath done this deed; ⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵ to deliver him unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

⁹ I wrote unto you in an epistle that ye should not company with fornicators. ¹⁰ And I meant not at all of the fornicators of this world, either of the covetous, or of extortioners, either of the idolaters — for then must ye needs have gone out of the world - ¹¹ but now I write unto you that ye company not together. If any that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or a worshipper of images, either a railer, either a drunkard, or an extortioner: with him that is such see that ye eat not.

³³ Be not deceived: malicious speakings corrupt good manners.

¹⁰ For ye sorrowed godly: so that in nothing were ye hurt by us. For godly sorrow causeth repentance, unto salvation not to be repented of: when worldly sorrow causeth death. ¹¹ Behold what diligence this godly sorrow that ye took hath wrought in you: yea it caused you to clear yourselves. It caused indignation, it caused fear, it caused desire, it caused a fervent mind, it caused punishment. For in all things ye have showed yourselves that ye were clear in that matter. ¹² Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that did hurt, neither for his cause that was hurt: but that our good mind which we have toward you in the sight of God, might appear unto you

¹⁴ If any man obey not our sayings, send us word of him by a letter: and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed:

¹⁶ Take heed unto thyself and unto learning, and continue therein. For if thou shalt so do, thou shalt save thyself, and them that hear thee.

⁴ Thou hast a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich: and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, that thy filthy nakedness do not appear: and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

⁶ For thou shalt give him everlasting felicity, and make him glad with the joy of thy countenance.

⁴ and that I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness: and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God, my God.

¹² Rejoice, and be glad: for great is your reward in heaven: For so persecuted they the prophets which were before your days.

²⁸ Jesus said unto them, "Verily I say to you, When the son of man shall sit in the seat of his majesty, ye which follow me in the second generation shall sit also upon twelve seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁶ For whosoever is ashamed of me, and of my sayings: of him shall the son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and in the glory of his father, and of the holy angels.

³¹ What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us?

⁴ What art thou that judgest another man's servant? Whether he stand or fall, that pertaineth unto his master. Yea, he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand.

²⁵ To him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel and preaching of Jesus Christ, in uttering of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began, ²⁶ but now is opened at this time and declared opened by the scriptures of prophecy, at the commandment of the everlasting God, to stir up obedience to the faith published among all nations: ²⁷ To the same God, which alone is wise, be praise through Jesus Christ for ever Amen. {To the Romans. Sent from Corinth by Phoebe, she that was the minister unto the congregation at Cenchreae}

¹⁴ For we know that he which raised up the Lord Jesus, shall raise up us, also, by the means of Jesus, and shall set us with you;

¹⁷ For our exceeding tribulation, which is momentary and light, prepareth an exceeding and eternal weight of glory unto us,

² For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I coupled you to one man, to make you a chaste virgin to Christ:

²⁰ Unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

²⁷ to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame.

²² in the body of his flesh through death, to make you holy, unblameable, and without fault in his own sight,

²⁸ whom we preach warning all men, and teaching all men in all wisdom, to make all men perfect in Christ Jesus.

⁴ When Christ, which is our life, shall show himself; then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, and the voice of the archangel, and trump of God. And the dead in Christ shall arise first: ¹⁷ then shall we which live and remain, be caught up with them also in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord.

²⁰ The God of peace that brought again from death our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting testament, ²¹ make you perfect in all good works, to do his will, working in you that which is pleasant in his sight through Iesus Christ: To whom be praise for ever while the world endureth. Amen.

¹³ but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's passions, that when his glory appeareth, ye may be merry and glad.

²¹ and keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life.

⁵ and in their mouths was found no guile. For they are without spot before the throne of God.

¹¹ Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, power and glory, victory and praise: for all that is in heaven and in earth is thine, and thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art lifted up a head above all.

¹⁸ Blessed be the LORD God, even the God of Israel, which only doeth wondrous things. ¹⁹ And blessed be the name of his majesty forever; and all the lands be fulfilled with his glory. Amen, Amen.

²⁰ Lo, he smote the stony rock, that the watery streams gushed out, and the streams flowed withal: but how can he give bread and provide flesh for his people?"

²⁴ O LORD, how manifold are thy works! Right wisely hast thou made them all; yea, the earth is full of thy riches.

⁵ Great is our LORD, and great is his power: yea, and his wisdom is infinite.

² Behold, God is my salvation: I will be bold therefore and not fear. For the LORD God is my strength and my praise whereof I sing: and is become my saviour.

²¹ Let men draw nigh, let them come hither, and ask counsel one at another, and show forth: "What is he, that told this before?" Or, "Who spake of it, ever since the beginning?" Have not I, the LORD, done it: without whom there is none other God? The true God and Saviour, and there is else none but I.

³⁷ Then did I, Nebuchadnezzar, love, magnify and praise the King of heaven: for all his works are true, and his ways right. As for those that go on proudly, he is able to bring them down.

¹³ Lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil, For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory for ever. Amen.

²² Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship. For salvation cometh of the Jews.

⁴⁴ How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh of God only?

³³ O the deepness of the abundant wisdom and knowledge of God: how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out.

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and for him are all things. To him be glory forever Amen.

²⁷ To the same God, which alone is wise, be praise through Jesus Christ for ever Amen. {To the Romans. Sent from Corinth by Phoebe, she that was the minister unto the congregation at Cenchreae}

⁸ which grace he shed on us abundantly in all wisdom, and prudence.

¹⁰ to the intent that now, unto the rulers and powers in heaven, might be known by the congregation the manifold wisdom of God,

²¹ be praise in the congregation by Jesus Christ, throughout all generations from time to time. Amen.

¹⁷ So then unto God, King everlasting, immortal, invisible, and wise only, be honour and praise for ever and ever. Amen.

³ For that is good and accepted in the sight of god our saviour,

³ but hath opened his word at the time appointed, through preaching; which preaching is committed unto me, by the commandment of God our saviour. ⁴ To Titus, his natural son in the common faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ our saviour.

¹⁰ neither be pickers, but that they show all good faithfulness, that they may do worship to the doctrine of God our saviour in all things.

¹³ looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the mighty God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ:

⁴ But after that the kindness and love of our saviour God to man ward appeared,

⁸ Jesus Christ yesterday, and today, and the same, continueth forever.

¹¹ If any man speak, let him talk as though he spake the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God ministereth unto him. That God, in all things, may be glorified through Jesus Christ: to whom be praise and dominion forever and while the world standeth. Amen.

¹⁰ The God of all grace — which called you unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus — shall his own self, after ye have suffered a little affliction, make you perfect: shall settle, strengthen, and establish you. ¹¹ To him be glory and dominion for ever, and while the world endureth. Amen.

¹⁸ but grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord, and saviour Jesus Christ. To whom be glory both now and forever. Amen. {Here ends the Second General Epistle of Peter}

⁶ and made us kings and priests unto God his father, be glory, and dominion for evermore amen.

⁹ And when those beasts gave glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the seat, which liveth forever and ever, ¹⁰ the twenty four elders fell down before him that sat on the throne, and worshipped him that liveth forever, and cast their crowns before the throne saying, ¹¹ "Thou art worthy, Lord, to receive glory, and honour, and power, for thou hast created all things, and for thy will's sake they are, and were created."

¹³ And all creatures, which are in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that are in them heard I, saying, "Blessing, honour, glory, and power be unto him that sitteth upon the seat, and unto the lamb for evermore." ¹⁴ And the four beasts said, "Amen." And the twenty four elders fell upon their faces, and worshipped him that liveth for evermore.
