³⁵ but they who have been accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; ³⁶ for they cannot die any more; for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

⁴⁰ For they dared no longer to ask him any question.

⁴⁶ Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts;

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

³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

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.

⁴⁷ and that repentance for the remission of sins should be preached in his name among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

¹¹ He came to his own, and his own received him not.

¹ And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

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.

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.

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. 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.

²⁹ and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.

⁴⁰ and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.

²⁴ when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there nor his disciples, they went on board the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 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. ²⁷ Labor not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man giveth to you; for on him hath the Father set his seal, even God.

²⁷ Labor not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man giveth to you; for on him hath the Father set his seal, even God. ²⁸ Then they said to him, What are we to do, that we may work the works of God? ²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe in him whom he sent. ³⁰ They said therefore to him, What sign doest thou, that we may see, and believe thee? What dost thou work? ³¹ Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat." 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. ³³ For the bread of God is that which is coming down from heaven, and giving life to the world. ³⁴ They said therefore to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. ³⁵ Jesus therefore said to them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me will not hunger; and he that believeth in me will never thirst. ³⁶ But I said to you, that ye have even seen, and do not believe. ³⁷ All that the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out; ³⁸ for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. ³⁹ And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day. ⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who looketh on the Son and believeth in him, shall have everlasting life; and I will raise him up in the last day. 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? ⁴³ Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves. ⁴⁴ No one can come to me, unless the Father, who sent me, draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught of God." Every one that hath heard the Father, and hath learnt from him, cometh to me. 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. ⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died. ⁵⁰ This is the bread which is coming down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 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. ⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life; and I will raise him up in the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live by reason of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live by reason of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this bread will live for ever. ⁵⁹ These things he said in a synagogue, while teaching in Capernaum.

²³ If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath?

³⁷ On the last day, which is the great day, of the feast, Jesus stood and cried aloud, saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

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.

²¹ Again therefore he said to them, I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sin. Whither I go, ye cannot come.

²⁴ Therefore I said to you, that ye will die in your sins; for unless ye believe that I am He, ye will die in your sins.

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world; that they who see not might see, and that they who see might become blind.

²⁵ He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world will keep it unto everlasting life.

² In my Fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. For I go away to prepare a place for you;

⁶ If any one abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burned.

¹⁷ and bearing his own cross, he went forth into the place called Place of a Skull; in Hebrew, Golgotha;

¹ The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning ² until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up; ³ to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. ⁴ And while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [said he] ye heard from me; ⁵ for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence. ⁶ They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel? ⁷ But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority. ⁸ But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth. ⁹ And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

¹⁸ Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out. ¹⁹ And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, Field of Blood.

³⁸ But Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized to the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things common; ⁴⁵ and they sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as any one had need.

²⁴ And all the prophets also, Samuel and those who followed, as many as spoke, announced these days. 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.

³⁴ For there was no one among them that was in want; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, ³⁵ and laid them at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.

¹ But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, ² and kept back part of the price, his wife also having knowledge of it; and brought a certain part, and laid it at the feet of the apostles. ³ But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land? ⁴ While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, but to God. ⁵ And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard of it.

³⁴ But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, in high esteem with all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while,

¹⁰ and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.

⁴ Now those that had been scattered abroad went through the country preaching the word. ⁵ And Philip went down to a city of Samaria, and preached to them the Christ. ⁶ And the multitudes with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he wrought. ⁷ For from many that had unclean spirits came they out crying with a loud voice; and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were cured.

¹⁸ But Simon, seeing that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles hands, offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee! because thou didst think to obtain the gift of God with money. ²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if haply the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.

¹⁵ But the Lord said to him, Go; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel.

³⁹ Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows came to him weeping, and showing the coats and cloaks which Dorcas made while she was with them.

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? ⁴⁸ And he commanded that they should be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to remain some days.

¹⁸ And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, So then to the gentiles also God hath granted repentance unto life. ¹⁹ Now they who were scattered abroad by the persecution that arose on account of Stephen traveled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews. ²⁰ But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, publishing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus. ²¹ And the hand of the Lord was with them; and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.

²⁰ And he was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus the kings chamberlain their friend, sued for peace; because their country drew its nourishment from that of the king.

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.

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.

⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with indignation, and spoke against what was spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling. 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.

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. ⁴⁷ For thus hath the Lord commanded us: "I have set thee to be a light of the gentiles, that thou mayst bring salvation even to the end of the earth." ⁴⁸ And when the gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were ordained to everlasting life, believed.

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that it is through many afflictions that we mast enter into the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ And when she had been baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide. And she constrained us.

⁵ And when both Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was wholly engaged in the word, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus was the Christ. ⁶ And when they set themselves against him, and reviled, he shook his garments, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean; from this time I will go to the gentiles.

⁶ And when they set themselves against him, and reviled, he shook his garments, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean; from this time I will go to the gentiles.

²⁴ But I count life of no value to me, so that I may finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

¹³ Then answered Paul, What mean ye that ye weep, and break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

²¹ And he said to me, Depart; for I will send thee far hence to the gentiles. ²² And they listened to him as far as this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth! for it was not fit that he should live.

¹⁵ having a hope in God, which they themselves also entertain, that there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous.

¹⁸ to open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among the sanctified, by faith in me. ¹⁹ Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision; ²⁰ but first to those in Damascus, and Jerusalem, and to all the country of Judaea, and then to the gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

²⁵ So, disagreeing with one another, they took their departure, after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers, ²⁶ saying, "Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see and not perceive. ²⁷ For the heart of this people hath become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn from their ways, and I should heal them." ²⁸ Be it therefore known to you, that to the gentiles this salvation of God hath been sent; they, moreover, will hear.

¹³ as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

¹⁸ But I say, Did they not hear? Yes truly, "Their voice went forth into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

¹³ For I am speaking to you gentiles; inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles, I magnify my office, ¹⁴ that I may, if possible, excite to emulation those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

¹³ Relieve the wants of the holy; be given to hospitality. ¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you; bless, and curse not. ¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. ¹⁶ Be of one mind among yourselves. Set not your minds on high things, but content yourselves with what is humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

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."

¹¹ For other foundation can no one lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus. ¹² But if any one build upon this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, ¹³ the work of every one will be made manifest; for the day will show it; because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will prove what every ones work is. ¹⁴ If the work which any one built thereon remaineth, he will receive reward;

²⁹ But this I say, brethren, the time that remaineth is short; that both they that have wives may be as though they had none; ³⁰ and they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; ³¹ and they that use this world as not abusing it; for the outward condition of this world is passing away;

³³ but he that is married careth about the things of the world, how to please his wife.

¹⁹ For being free from all men, yet I made myself a servant to all, that I might gain the more;

¹⁹ For being free from all men, yet I made myself a servant to all, that I might gain the more; ²⁰ and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those under the Law, as under the Law, not being myself under the Law, that I might gain those under the Law;

²⁰ and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those under the Law, as under the Law, not being myself under the Law, that I might gain those under the Law; ²¹ to those without the Law, as without the Law, being not without a law before God, but under the law of Christ, that I might gain those without the Law;

²¹ to those without the Law, as without the Law, being not without a law before God, but under the law of Christ, that I might gain those without the Law; ²² to the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak; I have become all things to all, that I might by all means save some.

²² to the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak; I have become all things to all, that I might by all means save some. ²³ And I do all for the sake of the gospel, that I may with others partake of it.

¹¹ Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but to God we have been made manifest, and I hope have been made manifest in your consciences also.

¹⁸ And all things are from God, who reconciled us to himself by Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

²⁰ We then are ambassadors for Christ; as though God were exhorting you by us, in behalf of Christ we entreat you, Be reconciled to God.

¹ As fellowworkers, then, with him, we also exhort you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain;

¹¹ Wherefore remember, that in time past ye, the gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcised by those who are called circumcised, having the circumcision of the flesh, performed by hand, ¹² that ye were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world; ¹³ but now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were afar off, have been brought nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For it is he who is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition between us, that is, the enmity; ¹⁵ having abolished in his flesh the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create of the two one new man in himself, thus making peace, ¹⁶ and might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having slain on it the enmity. ¹⁷ And he came and brought the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off, and of peace to those that were near; ¹⁸ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹ So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but are fellowcitizens with the saints, and members of the household of God, ²⁰ and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; ²¹ in whom all the building, fitly framed together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² in whom ye also are built together into a dwellingplace of God in the Spirit.

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,

³ doing nothing in the spirit of faction, or in the spirit of vainglory, but in humility esteeming others as better than yourselves;

⁷ But whatever things were gain to me, those for the sake of Christ I have counted but loss. ⁸ Nay more, I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, that I may gain Christ,

⁸ Nay more, I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, that I may gain Christ,

¹⁸ But I have all, and abound; I am full, having received from Epaphroditus what was sent from you, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. ¹⁹ But my God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory, in Christ Jesus.

²³ if ye indeed continue in the faith grounded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye heard, which hath been preached in the whole creation under heaven; of which I Paul became a minister.

²⁸ whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;

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

⁶ Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every one.

⁴ for even when we were with you, we told you before that we are to suffer affliction, just as it came to pass, and ye know. ⁵ For this cause, when I too could no longer forbear, I sent in order to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor should prove in vain.

⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, ⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all; to which the testimony was to be borne in its own due times,

² A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, discreet, orderly, hospitable, apt in teaching;

¹⁰ well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

⁹ But they who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evils; which some coveting have strayed away from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many pangs.

¹² For which cause I suffer also these things. But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which he hath committed to me unto that day.

¹² Yea, and all that desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

² preach the word, be urgent in season, out of season, confute, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching.

⁴ and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.

¹⁰ For Demas forsook me, because he loved the present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

⁸ but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,

⁷ For we have great thankfulness and comfort on account of thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.

³ how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first was spoken through the Lord, and was confirmed to us through those who heard him, ⁴ God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his will? ⁵ For not to angels did he put in subjection the world to come, of which we are speaking. ⁶ But one in a certain place bore testimony, saying, "What is man, that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him? ⁷ Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honor; ⁸ thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that he put all things in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.

⁴ For it is impossible that those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and been make partakers of the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, ⁶ and have fallen away, should again be renewed to repentance, since they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to open shame. ⁷ For the earth which hath drunk in the rain that cometh often upon it, and beareth plants useful to those for whose sake it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God; ⁸ but if it bear thorns and briers it is disapproved, and is near to being accursed; and its end is to be burned.

¹¹ But we earnestly desire that every one of you may show the same diligence with regard to the full assurance of your hope even to the end;

³⁸ Now my righteous man shall live by faith; but if he draw back, my soul hath no pleasure in him."

¹⁶ lest there be any fornicator, or profane person as Esau, who for one meal sold even his birthright.

²⁵ See that ye refuse not him who speaketh. For if they did not escape, who refused him who spoke his will on earth, much more shall not we, if we turn away from him who speaketh from heaven; ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now he hath promised, saying, "Yet once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also the heaven."

² Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

¹⁷ Obey your leaders, and submit yourselves to them; for they keep watch in behalf of your souls, as those who must give an account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief; for this is not for your advantage.

¹ My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord of glory, Jesus Christ, with respect of persons. ² For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in splendid apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment, ³ and ye have respect to him that weareth the splendid apparel, and say, Sit thou here in a good place, and say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or, Sit under my footstool, ⁴ have ye not been partial among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? ⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him? ⁶ but ye have despised the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do not they drag you before the judgmentseats?

⁶ but he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble."

⁶ but he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble." ⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God; resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. ⁹ Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into heaviness. ¹⁰ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

¹⁰ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

⁵ In like manner, ye younger men, submit yourselves to the elder; and all of you be clothed with humility toward each other; for "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble."

¹³ Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you; ¹⁴ knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared to me.

¹⁹ promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by the same is he also brought into bondage. ²⁰ For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is worse with them than the first. ²¹ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² It hath happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog returned to his own vomit; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

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

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him; ¹⁶ because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

⁸ Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye wrought, but receive a full reward. ⁹ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.

¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt by the second death.

¹⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, I will give of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.

²⁹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

⁹ Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie,behold, I will make them to come and bow down before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

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.

⁴ And I heard the number of the sealed. A hundred and fortyfour thousand were sealed out of all the tribes of the sons of Israel. ⁵ Out of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand; ⁶ out of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand; ⁷ out of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand; ⁸ out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. 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.

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.

¹ And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous seven angels, having seven plagues, which are the last, because in them is completed the wrath of God. ² And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who had gained the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over the number of his name, standing at the sea of glass, having harps of God. 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; ⁴ who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all nations shall come and worship before thee, because thy judgments are made manifest. ⁵ And after these things I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened; ⁶ and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came forth, clothed in pure shining linen, and girded about the breasts with golden girdles. ⁷ And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. ⁸ And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no one was able to enter the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

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.

¹⁵ And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations; and he will rule them with a rod of iron; and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God Almighty.

⁴ And I saw thrones; and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them; and I saw the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony to Jesus, and on account of the word of God, and of all who had not worshipped the beast, nor his image, and had not received his mark upon their forehead, or upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years. ⁵ And the rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

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.
