There standeth one among you whom ye know not, ²⁷ he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose. ²⁸ These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. ²⁹ The next day he seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world! ³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me. ³¹ And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water. ³² And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him. ³³ And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God. ³⁵ On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples; ³⁶ and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God! ³⁷ The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus. ³⁸ Jesus turning and seeing them following, saith to them, What seek ye?

¹⁵ And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.

¹⁶ John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.

¹⁶ John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.

¹⁶ John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire. ¹⁷ His winnowingshovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshingfloor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

¹⁷ His winnowingshovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshingfloor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

¹⁷ His winnowingshovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshingfloor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.

¹⁸ And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done, ²⁰ added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison. ²¹ And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened, ²² and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased." ²³ And Jesus himself was, when he began, about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,

¹⁸ "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to preach glad tidings to the poor; he hath sent me to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty the oppressed, ¹⁹ to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." ²⁰ And rolling up the book, he gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him. ²¹ And he began to say to them, Today hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears. ²² And they all spoke in his praise, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded from his mouth; and they said, Is not this Josephs son?

²⁸ And all in the synagogue, when they heard this, were filled with wrath. ²⁹ And they rose up, and forced him out of the city and took him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, to cast him down headlong;

² and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them, and had washed the nets. ³ And going into one of the boats, which was Simons, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And sitting down in the boat, he taught the multitudes. ⁴ And when he had done speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into deep water, and let down your nets for a draught. ⁵ And Simon answering said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing; but at thy word I will let down the nets. ⁶ And having done this, they inclosed great multitude of fishes; and their nets began to break. ⁷ And they beckoned to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. ⁸ And Simon Peter seeing it fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.

⁸ And Simon Peter seeing it fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man. ⁹ For he and all that were with him were amazed at the draught of fishes, which they had taken; ¹⁰ and so were also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt catch men. ¹¹ And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

¹⁴ Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

⁹ And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.

²⁴ And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind? ²⁵ But what have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings palaces. ²⁶ But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. ²⁷ This is he of whom it is written, "Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee."

³⁰ But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.

³⁸ And the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,

¹⁰ And the apostles returned and told him what they had done; and taking them with him, he withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.

³² But Peter and those who were with him were weighed down with sleep. But when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

¹³ Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

²² All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom it is the will of the Son to reveal him.

³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, who sat down at the feet of the Lord, and listened to his word.

³⁹ But the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inside is full of rapacity and wickedness. ⁴⁰ Fools, did not he who made the outside, make the inside also? ⁴¹ But give what they contain in alms, and lo! all is clean to you. ⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the rue, and every herb; and pass by justice and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone. ⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the markets. ⁴⁴ Woe to you, for ye are as tombs which are unseen, and men walking over them know it not.

⁵³ And as he came out thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very spiteful, and to press him to speak off hand about many things,

⁵⁷ And why even of yourselves do ye not judge what is right?

²⁵ And great multitudes were going with him; and he turned and said to them,

²⁰ And he arose, and went to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

¹⁴ And the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all this, and they derided him.

²² And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. ²³ And in the underworld he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

⁴⁰ And Jesus stopped, and ordered him to be brought to him. And when he had come near, he asked him, ⁴¹ What dost thou wish me to do for thee? And he said, Lord, to restore my sight.

⁵ And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said to him, Zacchaeas, make haste and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.

¹⁰ for the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

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

³⁸ saying, Blessed be the King in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heavens!

¹³ And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him. ¹⁴ But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours. ¹⁵ So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or gainsay.

⁴³ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

⁶¹ And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, that he had said to him, Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt thrice deny me.

⁶⁹ But from this time the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.

⁴ And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed about this, lo! two men stood by them in glittering apparel;

²⁷ And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁹ But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us, for it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to stay with them.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me.

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² The same was in the beginning with God.

² The same was in the beginning with God.

⁴ In him is life; and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.

⁷ He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.

⁷ He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe. ⁸ He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.

⁸ He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light. ⁹ The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.

⁹ The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not. ¹¹ He came to his own, and his own received him not. ¹² But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God,to those who believed in his name;

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only begotten of a father. ¹⁵ John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me. ¹⁶ For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace. ¹⁷ For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.

¹⁸ No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known. ¹⁹ And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou? ²⁰ And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.

²⁰ And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ. ²¹ And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No. ²² They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what sayest thou of thyself?

²⁵ and they asked him and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet? ²⁶ John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not, ²⁷ he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.

²⁷ he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose. ²⁸ These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. ²⁹ The next day he seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!

²⁹ The next day he seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world! ³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.

³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me. ³¹ And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.

³¹ And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water. ³² And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him. ³³ And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.

³³ And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.

³⁴ And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God. ³⁵ On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples; ³⁶ and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!

³⁶ and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God! ³⁷ The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus. ³⁸ Jesus turning and seeing them following, saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, (that is to say, when interpreted, Teacher,) where dost thou dwell?

⁴⁰ One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peters brother. ⁴¹ He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.) ⁴² He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking upon him said, Thou art Simon, the son of John; thou shalt be called Cephas; (which signifieth Peter, that is, Rock.) ⁴³ On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.

⁴⁵ Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see. ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile. ⁴⁸ Nathanael saith to him, Whence dost thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the figtree, I saw thee. ⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.

¹¹ This beginning of the signs Jesus made in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign dost thou show us, seeing thou doest these things?

²³ And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, at the feast, many believed in his name, when they saw his signs which he wrought. ²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men; ²⁵ and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

²⁵ and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹ And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no one can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.

² This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no one can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

⁵ Jesus answered, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.

⁵ Jesus answered, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again. ⁸ The wind bloweth where it will; and thou hearest the sound thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

¹³ And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave the only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him may not perish, but may have everlasting life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave the only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him may not perish, but may have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believeth in him is not condemned; he that believeth not hath already been condemned, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁸ He that believeth in him is not condemned; he that believeth not hath already been condemned, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light hath come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²³ And John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.

²⁵ Then there arose a question on the part of Johns disciples with a Jew about purifying. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, he baptizeth, and all men are going to him.

²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, he baptizeth, and all men are going to him.

²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, he baptizeth, and all men are going to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before that man.

²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before that man. ²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegrooms voice. This my joy then hath become full. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He that cometh from above is above all. He that is from the earth is earthly, and speaketh earthly things; he that cometh from heaven ³² testifieth what he hath seen and heard; and no one receiveth his testimony.

³² testifieth what he hath seen and heard; and no one receiveth his testimony. ³³ He that hath received his testimony hath set his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God sent speaketh the words of God; for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.

³⁴ For he whom God sent speaketh the words of God; for he giveth not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believeth in the Son hath everlasting life; and he that disobeyeth the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

²⁵ The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah cometh (who is called Christ); when he hath come, he will tell us all things.

²⁸ The woman then left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men, ²⁹ Come, see a man who told me all things which I have done. Is this the Christ?

²⁹ Come, see a man who told me all things which I have done. Is this the Christ?

³⁹ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him because of the words of the woman, who testified, He told me all things which I have done. ⁴⁰ When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to remain with them; and he remained there two days.

⁴⁰ When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to remain with them; and he remained there two days. ⁴¹ And many more believed on account of his word; ⁴² and said to the woman, No longer do we believe on account of what thou hast told us; for we have ourselves heard him, and know that this is in truth the Saviour of the world.

¹⁰ The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath; and it is not lawful for thee to take up the bed.

¹⁷ But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.

¹⁷ But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work. ¹⁸ On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God. ¹⁹ Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing; for whatever He doeth, these things the Son also doeth in like manner;

¹⁹ Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing; for whatever He doeth, these things the Son also doeth in like manner;

²¹ For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.

²³ that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father, who sent him. ²⁴ Truly, truly do I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and cometh not into condemnation, but hath passed out of death into life.

²⁴ Truly, truly do I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and cometh not into condemnation, but hath passed out of death into life. ²⁵ Truly, truly do I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live.

²⁵ Truly, truly do I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live. ²⁶ For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself.

²⁶ For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

²⁷ And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

³² There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. ³³ Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.

³³ Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth. ³⁴ But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved.

³⁴ But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved. ³⁵ He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

³⁵ He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. ³⁶ But the testimony which I have, is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the works themselves which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

⁴⁵ Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye have placed your hope.

⁴⁵ Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye have placed your hope. ⁴⁶ For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.

⁵ Jesus then lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great crowd was coming to him, saith to Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?

⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred denaries worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that each one may take a tittle. ⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peters brother, saith to him,

²⁵ And having found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, Rabbi, when didst thou come hither? ²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly do I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.

³² Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Moses hath not given you the bread from heaven; but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

³⁷ All that the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out;

⁴¹ The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven; ⁴² and they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, one whose father and mother we know? How is it then that this man saith, I have come down from heaven?

⁴⁶ Not that any one hath seen the Father, but he who is from God; he hath seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Truly, truly do I say to you, He that believeth hath everlasting life.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eat of my bread, he will live for ever. Yea, and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. ⁵² The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

⁶⁹ and we have believed and known, that thou art the Holy One of God. ⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you twelve? and one of you is a devil! ⁷¹ He spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot; for it was he that was about to betray him, being one of the twelve.

¹² And there was much debating among the multitude concerning him. Some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the multitude.

¹⁹ Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?

⁴⁰ Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. ⁴¹ Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee? ⁴² Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?

⁴⁷ The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived? ⁴⁸ Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.

⁵² They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.

¹² Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.]

¹⁹ They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed in him, If ye continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples; ³² and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. ³³ They answered him, We are Abrahams offspring, and have never been in bondage to any one; how sayest, thou, Ye will be made free? ³⁴ Jesus answered them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Every one that committeth sin is a bondservant of sin.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Every one that committeth sin is a bondservant of sin. ³⁵ And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever; the son abideth for ever. ³⁶ If therefore the Son make you free, ye will be free indeed. ³⁷ I know that ye are Abrahams offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word is not received within you. ³⁸ I speak what I have seen with the Father; and ye accordingly do what ye have seen with your father. ³⁹ They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

³⁹ They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye would do the works of Abraham. ⁴⁰ But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath spoken to you the truth, which I heard from God; this did not Abraham. ⁴¹ Ye do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, God.

⁵¹ Truly, truly do I say to you, If any one keep my word, he will never see death.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, From before Abraham was, I have been.

⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

²⁹ We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.

¹ Truly, truly do I say to you, He that entereth not through the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber;

⁷ Jesus therefore said, Truly, truly do I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

²⁴ Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou hold our minds in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.

³⁰ I and the Father are one. ³¹ The Jews again took up stones to stone him. ³² Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? ³³ The Jews answered him, Not for a good work do we stone thee, but for blasphemy, and because thou, who art a man, makest thyself God.

³⁶ say ye of him whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

⁴⁰ And he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing; and there he abode.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he have died, will live;

²⁷ She saith to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, he who was to come into the world.

⁴⁰ Jesus saith to her, Did I not tell thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together in one body the children of God that are scattered abroad.

⁵ Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?

¹³ took branches of palmtrees, and went forth to meet him, crying aloud, Hosanna! blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord, even the king of Israel! ¹⁴ And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon, as it is written, ¹⁵ "Fear not, daughter of Zion! lo! thy king cometh, sitting on an asss colt."

²¹ These came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.

²³ But Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour hath come that the Son of man should be glorified. ²⁴ Truly, truly do I say to you, Unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, itself abideth alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.

³⁵ Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. ³⁶ While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and went away, and hid himself from them. ³⁷ But though he had wrought so many signs before them, they did not believe in him; ³⁸ that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" ³⁹ For this cause they could not believe, because Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn from their ways, and I should heal them."

⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn from their ways, and I should heal them." ⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.

⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.

⁴⁶ I have come a light into the world, that whoever believeth in me may not remain in the darkness.

¹⁶ Truly, truly do I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord, nor one who is sent greater than he that sent him.

¹⁸ I speak not of you all; I know whom I chose; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, "He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted up his heel against me."

²⁰ Truly, truly do I say to you, He that receiveth whomever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. ²¹ Having said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Truly, truly do I say to you, that one of you will betray me.

²³ There was reclining on Jesus bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

³⁸ Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Truly, truly do I say to thee, A cock will not crow, till thou hast thrice denied me.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one cometh to the Father but through me.

⁸ Philip saith to him, Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied.

⁸ Philip saith to him, Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied. ⁹ Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how is it that thou sayest, Show us the Father?

⁹ Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how is it that thou sayest, Show us the Father?

¹² Truly, truly do I say to you, He that believeth in me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater than these shall he do; because I am going to the Father,

²² Judas, not Iscariot, saith to him, And how is it, Lord, that thou art going to manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any one loveth me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.

¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit he cleanseth, that it may bear more fruit. ³ Ye are clean already, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it abide not in the vine, so neither can ye, unless ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for apart from me ye can do nothing.

³ And these things will they do, because they neither know the Father nor me.

²⁰ Truly, truly do I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²³ And in that day ye will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly do I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father, he will give it you in my name.

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

³ And this is the everlasting life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send.

⁵ and now, Father! do thou glorify me with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. ⁶ I manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.

²² And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one;

²⁵ Righteous Father! and yet the world knew thee not! but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me. ²⁶ And I made known to them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

⁴ But Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith to them, Whom do ye seek? ⁵ They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus saith to them, I am he. Now Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them.

⁷ Again therefore he asked them, Whom do ye seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

³⁷ Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to my voice.

⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews."

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews." ²⁰ This inscription therefore was read by many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. ²¹ Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The king of the Jews; but that he said, I am king of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

¹⁵ Jesus saith to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek? She, supposing that it was the gardener, saith to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, Mary! She turned and saith to him in Hebrew, Rabboni! Which signifieth, Teacher!

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God!

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God! ²⁹ Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.

²⁹ Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.

³¹ But these have been written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.

² There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

¹⁵ So when they had breakfasted, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Tend my sheep. ¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁸ Truly, truly do I say to thee, when thou wast young, thou didst gird thyself, and walk whither thou wouldst; but when thou hast grown old, thou wilt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldst not.

⁵ for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.

¹⁰ And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel, ¹¹ who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.

¹³ And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother of James.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the Spirit gave them utterance.

²² Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God to you by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God wrought by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know,

⁶ Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk.

¹² But Peter seeing it, answered the people: Men of Israel, why wonder ye at this? Or why look ye earnestly on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man to walk? ¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye indeed delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. ¹⁴ But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a murderer should be granted to you. ¹⁵ But the author of life ye killed; whom God raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses. ¹⁶ And his name, through faith in his name, made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is through him gave him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁶ And his name, through faith in his name, made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is through him gave him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

²⁵ Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in thy posterity shall all the families of the earth be blessed." ²⁶ To you first, God, having raised up his servant, sent him to bless you in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.

⁵ And it came to pass on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes, ⁶ and Annas the highpriest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the highpriest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. ⁷ And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, did ye do this?

²⁷ For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, did both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles, and the peoples of Israel, assemble in this city,

²⁸ saying, We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and mean to bring this mans blood upon us.

³⁸ This is he that was in the assembly in the wilderness with the anger who spake to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received the living oracles to give to us;

⁵¹ Stiffnecked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears! ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do ye. ⁵² Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they slew those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, of whom ye have now become the betrayers and murderers;

⁵⁶ and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

³² And the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he openeth not his mouth.

¹¹ and he beheld heaven opened, and a sort of vessel descending, as it were a large sheet having cords at the four corners, and let down upon the earth;

²¹ And Peter went down to the men and said, Behold, I am he whom ye are seeking; for what cause have ye come?

²⁹ Wherefore I came without objection, when sent for. I ask therefore, for what reason did ye send for me?

³⁸ relating to Jesus of Nazareth, that God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were overpowered by the Devil; for God was with him.

⁴⁴ While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all that heard the word. ⁴⁵ And those of the circumcision who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished that on the gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit; ⁴⁶ for they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God. Then answered Peter, ⁴⁷ Can any one forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of the Lord, that he said, John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ And I remembered the word of the Lord, that he said, John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

²⁴ before whose coming forward John had first preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ And as John was finishing his course, he said, Who do ye think that I am? I am not He. But lo I there cometh after me one, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose. ²⁶ Brethren, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you was the word of this salvation sent forth.

³² And we declare to you the glad tidings, that the promise which was made to the fathers ³³ God hath fulfilled to us their children, in raising up Jesus [from the dead]; as it is also written in the first Psalm: "Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee."

³³ God hath fulfilled to us their children, in raising up Jesus [from the dead]; as it is also written in the first Psalm: "Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee." ³⁴ And that he raised him up from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath thus spoken: "I will give you the sure holy things promised to David." ³⁵ Wherefore also in another Psalm he saith, "Thou wilt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption:" ³⁶ For David, after having in his own generation served the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption; ³⁷ but he whom God raised from the dead did not see corruption. ³⁸ Be it therefore known to you, brethren, that through this man is announced to you the forgiveness of sins; ³⁹ and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

³⁹ and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly and plainly, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of the everlasting life, lo! we turn to the gentiles.

¹⁷ although he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

²⁴ The God who made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; ²⁵ nor doth he receive service at the hands of men, as though he needed anything, since it is he that giveth to all life and breath and all things. ²⁶ And he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having fixed appointed times, and the bounds of their habitation; ²⁷ that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us.

² he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, No, we did not even hear whether there is a Holy Spirit. ³ And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into Johns baptism. ⁴ Then said Paul, John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him that was coming after him; that is, on Jesus.

⁴ Then said Paul, John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him that was coming after him; that is, on Jesus. ⁵ And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.

⁸ And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom thou persecutest.

⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees affirm both.

⁵ and they know, if they are willing to testify, that from the first, according to the strictest sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.

⁹ I indeed thought with myself that I ought to do many things in opposition to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

²³ that the Christ should suffer, and that, as first of those raised from the dead, he was to proclaim light both to the people and to the gentiles.

²³ And when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom he expounded, and earnestly testified, the kingdom of God, endeavoring to persuade them concerning Jesus both from the Law of Moses, and from the Prophets, from morning till evening.

³⁰ And he abode two whole years in his own hired house and gladly received all that came in to him, ³¹ proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, without hindrance from any one.

³ the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh, ⁴ and shown with power to be the Son of God as to his spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;

⁴ and shown with power to be the Son of God as to his spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;

²⁸ And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do things which are shameful;

²⁸ For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly, nor is that circumcision, which is outward, in the flesh; ²⁹ but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, spiritual, not literal, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the Law saith, it saith to those who are under the Law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become subject to condemnation before God. ²⁰ Because by works of the Law no flesh shall be accepted as righteous: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin. ²¹ But now, apart from the Law, the righteousness which is of God, to which the Law and the Prophets bear testimony, ²² even the righteousness which is of God through faith in Jesus Christ, hath been made manifest to all and for all believers. For there is no distinction. ²³ For all have sinned, and fail of obtaining the glory which cometh from God; ²⁴ being accepted as righteous freely, by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom, in his blood, through faith, God hath set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, in order to manifest his righteousness, on account of his passing by, in his forbearance, the sins committed in former times; ²⁶ in order to manifest his righteousness at the present time, so that he may be righteous, and accept as righteous him who hath faith.

² through whom also we have had admission into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory which God will confer.

¹⁷ For if by one trespass death reigned through the one man, much more will they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)

²⁰ Moreover the law came in in addition, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more;

²⁰ Moreover the law came in in addition, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more; ²¹ that as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁴ For sin shall not hold dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.

³ For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God hath done, who on account of sin sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and passed sentence of condemnation on sin in the flesh;

⁹ But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any one hath to not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God.

¹ I speak truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, that

¹ I speak truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, that ² I have great grief and unceasing anguish in my heart. ³ For I could wish to be myself accursed and cast out from Christ in behalf of my brethren, my kinsmen as to the flesh; ⁴ who are Israelites; whom God adopted as sons, whose was the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of the sanctuary, and the promises;

⁴ who are Israelites; whom God adopted as sons, whose was the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of the sanctuary, and the promises; ⁵ whose are the fathers, and from whom, as to the flesh, was the Christ. He who is over all, God, be blessed for ever! Amen.

⁵ whose are the fathers, and from whom, as to the flesh, was the Christ. He who is over all, God, be blessed for ever! Amen. ⁶ Not as though the word of God hath failed; for not all they that are of Israel are Israel; ⁷ nor because they are descendants of Abraham are they all children; but, "Thy offspring shall be reckoned from Isaac." ⁸ That is, not the children by natural descent are children of God, but the children to whom the promise is made are accounted as the offspring. ⁹ For the word of promise is this: "At this time I will come, and Sarah shall have a son." ¹⁰ And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived by one man, our father Isaac, ¹¹ before the children were born, or had done any thing good or evil, to the end that Gods purpose according to election might stand, not depending on works, but on the will of him that calleth, ¹² it was said to her, "The elder shall serve the younger:" ¹³ as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." ¹⁴ What then shall we say? Is there injustice with God? Far be it! ¹⁵ For he saith to Moses, "On whom I have mercy, on him will I have mercy; and on whom I have compassion, on him will I have compassion." ¹⁶ So then it dependeth not on him that willeth, nor on him that runneth, but on God who showeth mercy.

¹ Brethren, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is, that they may be saved. ² For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. ³ For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and endeavoring to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God.

¹⁷ Faith then cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

⁸ For I say that Christ became a minister to the circumcised for the sake of Gods truth, in order to make sure the promises given to the fathers;

⁸ For I say that Christ became a minister to the circumcised for the sake of Gods truth, in order to make sure the promises given to the fathers; ⁹ and that the gentiles glorified God for his mercy, as it is written, "For this cause I will give praise to thee among the gentiles, and sing to thy name." ¹⁰ And again he saith: "Rejoice, ye gentiles, with his people." ¹¹ And again: "Praise the Lord, all ye gentiles, and let every people praise him." ¹² And again Isaiah saith: "There shall be the shoot from Jesse, and he that riseth up to rule the gentiles; in him shall the gentiles hope."

⁴ I ever thank my God for you, on account of the grace of God bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus; ⁵ that in him ye were enriched in everything, in all utterance, and all knowledge,

¹² What I mean is this, that each of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe;

⁸ which none of the rulers of this world comprehended; for had they comprehended it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

¹⁴ But the unspiritual man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them; because they are spiritually discerned.

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the growth.

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

⁵ So then judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the purposes of mens hearts; and then shall every one have his praise from God.

⁶ yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.

⁵ Have we not a right to carry about with us a sister as a wife, as well as the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

¹³ For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or freemen; and were all made to drink one Spirit.

²⁵ the secrets of his heart become manifest; and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, and report that God is indeed within you.

³ For I delivered to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;

⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

⁴⁵ Thus is it also written: "The first man Adam became a living soul;" the last Adam a lifegiving spirit.

⁴⁷ The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.

¹⁹ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us, by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not found yea and nay, but in him hath been found yea. ²⁰ For as to all the promises of God, in him is yea, and in him amen, to the glory of God through us.

⁷ But if the ministration of death, engraven in letters on stones, was so glorious, that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses by reason of the glory of his countenance, which glory was to be done away, ⁸ shall not the ministration of the Spirit be much more glorious? ⁹ For if the ministration of condemnation had glory, much greater is the glory of the ministration of righteousness. ¹⁰ For even that which was made glorious hath ceased to be glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory by which it is exceeded.

⁴ in whom the God of this world blinded the understandings of the unbelieving, so that they cannot behold the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus sake. ⁶ For it is God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, that shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

²¹ Him, who knew not sin, he made sin for us, that we might become Gods righteousness in him.

¹⁷ "Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not anything unclean;" "and I will receive you, ¹⁸ and will be to you a father, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."

⁹ and he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may abide upon me.

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil world, according to the will of God our Father;

⁹ and when they knew the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcised;

¹⁰ For as many as rely on the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the Law, to do them." ¹¹ But further, that through the observance of the Law no one is accepted as righteous with God is evident; for "the righteous shall live by faith." ¹² And the Law hath nothing to do with faith; but [its language is], "He that hath done them shall live in them." ¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, "Cursed is every one that is hanged on a beam of wood,"

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, "Cursed is every one that is hanged on a beam of wood,"

¹⁷ And what I mean is this; that a covenant that was before ratified by God, the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, cannot annul, so as to make void the promise;

²⁶ For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;

⁴ but when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

⁶ And to show that ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father!

⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved; ⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, ⁸ which he made to abound toward us, in all wisdom and understanding;

²³ which is his body, the fullness of him who filleth all with all;

⁵ even when dead through our trespasses, life with Christ,by grace have ye been saved, ⁶ and raised us up with him, and caused us to sit with him in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus, ⁷ that he might show in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For by grace ye have been saved, through faith; and this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; ⁹ not of works, lest any one should boast. ¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to make known among the gentiles the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of Christ, ⁹ to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery, which hath been hidden for ages in God, who created all things;

¹⁸ that ye may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God.

¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God.

⁷ But to each one of us was given the grace [which he hath] according to the measure of the gift of Christ. ⁸ Wherefore he saith: "When he ascended on high, he led captive a train of captives, and gave gifts to men." ⁹ Now what is implied in his ascending, but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended is the same as he who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. ¹¹ And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; ¹² for the perfecting of the saints for the work of ministration, for the building up of the body of Christ; ¹³ till we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a fullgrown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

²⁹ Let no foul language proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is good for edification, as the need may be, that it may benefit the hearers;

¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light."

⁶ who, being in the form of God, did not regard it as a thing to be grasped at to be on an equality with God,

⁶ who, being in the form of God, did not regard it as a thing to be grasped at to be on an equality with God,

⁶ who, being in the form of God, did not regard it as a thing to be grasped at to be on an equality with God, ⁷ but made himself of no consideration, taking the form of a servant, and becoming like men;

⁷ but made himself of no consideration, taking the form of a servant, and becoming like men; ⁸ and in what appertained to him appearing as a man, he humbled himself, and was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

¹³ for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

³ For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

⁵ circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; ⁶ as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, blameless.

¹² Not that I have already obtained, or have been already perfected; but I press on, if I may also lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ.

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of the whole creation; ¹⁶ for in him were created all things, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things have been created through him and for him; ¹⁷ and he is before all things, and in him all things subsist.

¹⁷ and he is before all things, and in him all things subsist.

¹⁹ for God was pleased that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself,

³ in which are stored up all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

⁶ As therefore ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,

⁹ For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,

⁹ For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, ¹⁰ and ye are made full in him, who is the head of all principality and power;

⁴ when Christ, our life, shall be manifested, then will ye also be manifested with him in glory.

⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief; ⁵ for ye all are sons of light, and sons of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness. ⁶ Let us not sleep, then, as others, but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunken, are drunken in the night;

²¹ but prove all things; hold fast that which is good;

⁷ and to you the distressed rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be manifested from heaven, with the angels of his might,

⁹ who will be punished with everlasting destruction proceeding from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,

¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ True is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. ¹⁶ But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me especially Christ Jesus might show forth all his longsuffering, as an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting. ¹⁷ Now to the King eternal, the imperishable, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁴ whose will is that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all; to which the testimony was to be borne in its own due times,

¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of godliness, in him who was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory.

¹⁶ who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man hath seen, or can see; to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation to all men, was manifested,

¹³ looking for the blessed hope, and appearing of the glory of the great God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a people to be his own, zealous in good works.

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the bath of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the bath of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour,

¹ God, who at different times and in different ways spoke of old to the fathers by the prophets, ² hath at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds,

² hath at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds, ³ who being a brightness from his glory and an image of his being, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself accomplished a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

³ who being a brightness from his glory and an image of his being, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself accomplished a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

⁵ For to which of the angels did he ever say: "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee?" and again: "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"

⁵ For to which of the angels did he ever say: "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee?" and again: "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?" ⁶ And again, when he hath brought in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith: "And let all the angels of God pay him homage."

⁸ but of the Son: "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; and the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.

⁸ but of the Son: "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; and the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness. ⁹ Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; therefore God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."

⁹ Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; therefore God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." ¹⁰ And: "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst found the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

¹⁰ And: "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst found the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands. ¹¹ They will perish, but thou remainest; and they will all become old as doth a garment,

¹¹ They will perish, but thou remainest; and they will all become old as doth a garment, ¹² and thou wilt fold them up as a vesture, and they will be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years will not fail."

¹² and thou wilt fold them up as a vesture, and they will be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years will not fail." ¹³ But to which of the angels hath he ever said: "Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?" ¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

¹¹ For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren;

¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner shared in the same, that through death he might bring to nought him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil, ¹⁵ and might deliver those who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage. ¹⁶ For surely he doth not help angels, but he helpeth the offspring of Abraham. ¹⁷ Whence it was right for him to be in all respects made like to his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful highpriest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

¹⁷ Whence it was right for him to be in all respects made like to his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful highpriest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

³ For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as greater than the house is he who built it. ⁴ For every house is builded by some one; but he who built all things is God. ⁵ And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, that he might testify of those things which were to be spoken; ⁶ but Christ as a son over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and joyousness of our hope.

⁵ Thus Christ did not glorify himself to be made highpriest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee;"

³ without father, without mother, without record of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remaineth a priest for ever.

⁸ For finding fault with them, he saith: "Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant; ⁹ not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. ¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their mind, and on their hearts will I write them; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach every one his fellowcitizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. ¹² For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."

²² And almost all things are according to the Law purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

²⁸ so also Christ having been once offered up to bear the sins of many, will appear the second time, without sin, for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.

⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith: "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body didst thou prepare for me;

⁵ Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith: "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body didst thou prepare for me; ⁶ in whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure. ⁷ Then said I, Lo, I have comein the volume of the book it is written of meto do thy will, O God." ⁸ Saying above, "Sacrifices and offerings, and whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, and hadst no pleasure in them,"such as are offered in conformity to the Law, ⁹ then hath he said, "Lo, I have come to do thy will." He setteth aside the first, that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ And in this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

³ Through faith we perceive that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that that which is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.

³⁹ And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promised blessing, ⁴⁰ God having provided for us some better thing, that they might not be made perfect without us.

² looking to the author and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

⁸ Jesus Christ is yesterday and today the same, and for ever.

¹⁸ Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

² chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you. ³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, begot us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

¹¹ searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when it testified beforehand the sufferings to come upon Christ, and the glories that were to follow;

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot; ²⁰ who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,

²³ being born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

¹ Laying aside therefore all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all slander, ² as newborn babes, desire the spiritual, pure milk, that ye may grow thereby to salvation;

⁴ To whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but in the sight of God chosen, honored, ⁵ be ye yourselves also, as living stones, built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ Because it is contained in the Scripture: "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, honored; and he that believeth in him shall not be put to shame." ⁷ To you therefore who believe, is the honor; but to the disobedient, "the stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the cornerstone,"

²² who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;

²⁴ who himself bore our sins in his own body on the cross, that we, having died to our sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous one for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

¹ Symeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of our God, and the Saviour Jesus Christ:

⁴ through which he hath given us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust;

¹⁶ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been made eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when such a voice as this was borne to him from the excellent glory: "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

⁹ The Lord is not tardy concerning his promise, as some men count tardiness; but is longsuffering toward you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we looked upon, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life, ² and the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and announce to you the everlasting life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us,

² and the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and announce to you the everlasting life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us, ³ that which we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁵ And this is the message which we have heard from him, and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth; ⁷ but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

² And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

⁸ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him, and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shineth.

²³ Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath also the Father.

²⁸ And now, my children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. ²⁹ If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness hath been born of him.

¹ Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God l For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

⁵ And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.

⁸ He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil. ⁹ Whoever hath been born of God doth not commit sin, because his seed abideth in him; and he cannot sin, because he hath been born of God.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and should love one another, as he gave commandment.

² Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledgeth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh, is of God. ³ And every spirit that doth not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which ye have heard that it is to come, and even now it is already in the world.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is from God, and every one that loveth hath been born of God, and knoweth God;

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in regard to us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through him. ¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

¹² No one hath ever seen God. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

¹⁴ And we have seen and bear witness, that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

¹⁴ And we have seen and bear witness, that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. ¹⁵ Whoever acknowledgeth that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

¹⁹ We love, because he first loved us. ²⁰ If any one saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?

¹ Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ hath been born of God; and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth also him that hath been begotten of him.

⁴ because whatever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith.

⁷ For there are three that bear witness,

⁹ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son. ¹⁰ He that believeth in the Son of God hath the witness within him; he that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed in the witness which God hath borne concerning his Son. ¹¹ And this is the witness, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son.

¹¹ And this is the witness, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life. ¹³ These things have I written to you, that ye may know that ye who believe in the name of the Son of God have everlasting life.

¹⁸ We know that whoever hath been born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the Evil One toucheth him not.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and everlasting life.

⁷ For many deceivers went out into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ coming in the flesh; this is the deceiver and the antichrist.

⁹ Whoever goeth beyond, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the teaching, he hath both the Son and the Father.

¹⁴ Yea, and against these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord cometh in the midst of his holy myriads,

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

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loveth us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

¹¹ saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardes, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand on me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand on me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ and he that liveth; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore; and I have the keys of death and the underworld.

⁸ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and lived again:

¹⁸ And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass:

¹⁸ And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass: ¹⁹ I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thy endurance, and that thy last works are more than the first.

¹⁴ And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any one hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

¹ After this I saw, and lo! an open door in heaven; and the former voice, which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me, said, Come up hither, and I will show thee what things must take place after these.

¹¹ Worthy art thou, O Lord, and our God, to receive the glory, and the honor, and the power; for thou didst create all things, and on account of thy will they were, and were created.

⁶ And I saw, between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders, a Lamb standing, as if it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twentyfour elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twentyfour elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed to God by thy blood men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, ¹⁰ and hast made them a kingdom and priests, and they reign on the earth.

¹² saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and those which are on the earth and under the earth, and on the sea, and the things in them, I heard them all saying, To him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever.

¹ And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard, as it were the voice of thunder, one of the four living creatures saying, Come!

¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

⁹ After these things I saw, and lo! a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands.

⁹ After these things I saw, and lo! a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands. ¹⁰ And they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.

¹⁰ And they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb. ¹¹ And all the angels were standing around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² saying, Amen; the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honor, and the power, and the might, be to our God, for ever and ever. ¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and whence came they? ¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he that sitteth on the throne will make his abode with them. ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more; neither shall the sun fall upon them, nor any burning heat; ¹⁷ for the Lamb who is in the midst before the throne is a shepherd to them, and leadeth them to the fountains of the waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

¹⁷ for the Lamb who is in the midst before the throne is a shepherd to them, and leadeth them to the fountains of the waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

¹¹ and they conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives, even to death.

⁸ And all who dwell on the earth wilt worship him, every one whose name hath not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.

¹ And I saw, and lo! the Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and fortyfour thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.

⁴ These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, a firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. ⁵ And in their mouth was found no falsehood; for they are without fault.

¹⁰ the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation, and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.

³ And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of the nations;

¹⁴ These will make war with the Lamb; and the Lamb will overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

⁷ Let us rejoice and exult, and we will give to him the glory; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready;

⁹ And he saith to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the marriagesupper of the Lamb. And he saith to me, These are the true words of God.

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

¹³ and he was clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called, The Word of God.

³ And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, their God;

⁶ And he said to me, All things are accomplished. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him that thirsteth I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely.

⁹ And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials filled with the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither; I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundationstones, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

²² And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. ²³ And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine upon it; for the glory of God lightened it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

²⁷ And there shall not enter into it anything unclean, or that worketh abomination and falsehood; but only they that are written in the Lambs book of life.

¹ And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

¹⁶ I Jesus sent my angel to testify these things to you for the churches. I am the shoot and the offspring of David, the bright morningstar. ¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him that heareth say, Come! And let him that thirsteth come! Whoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
