²⁹ Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: ³⁰ Since God is one, and he shall justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

⁶ For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that you who were once the slaves of sin, have obeyed from the heart that standard of teaching which was entrusted to you.

¹² For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord is Lord over all, bestowing his riches on all who call upon him.

¹² For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord is Lord over all, bestowing his riches on all who call upon him. ¹³ For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ¹⁴ But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

¹⁴ But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? ¹⁵ And how shall they preach, unless they are sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things!

¹³ For I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry:

¹ Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship. ² And do not be conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good, and acceptable, and perfect.

¹⁸ If it is possible, as much as it lies with you, live peaceably with all men.

¹ Let every man be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority but from God: and those authorities that exist have been ordained by God. ² Therefore, whoever resists the authorities, resists the ordinance of God: and those who resist shall bring condemnation upon themselves. ³ For rulers are not a terror for those who do good works, but to those who do evil. Do you want to have no fear of the one in authority? do that which is good, and you shall have his praise: ⁴ For he is a minister of God for your good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God to execute wrath upon the one who does evil. ⁵ Therefore you must be subject, not only to avoid wrath, but also for conscience sake. ⁶ For this reason you also pay taxes: for they are God's ministers, attending continually to this very service. ⁷ Therefore, give to all men what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; revenue to whom revenue; respect to whom respect; honour to whom honour.

¹⁸ For he who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

¹⁶ That I should be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, in the priestly service of the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

²⁶ But now has been made manifest, and through the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith:

⁶ So the testimony about Christ has been confirmed in you:

⁷ For I wish that all men were as I am. But every man has his proper gift from God, one of this type, and another of that.

⁴ Therefore, concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

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

³ But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

⁸ For the man is not from the woman; but the woman from the man. ⁹ Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

³⁴ Let the women keep silent in the churches: for it is not permitted for them to speak; but they should be subordinate, as the law says.

³⁴ Let the women keep silent in the churches: for it is not permitted for them to speak; but they should be subordinate, as the law says. ³⁵ And if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a disgrace for women to speak in the church.

³ For I delivered to you as of first importance that which I received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

⁴⁵ And so it is written, The first man, Adam, was made a living being; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. ⁴⁶ Yet, it is not that which is spiritual that is first, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man was of the earth, made of dust: the second man is from heaven.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ controls us; because we are convinced that one died for all, therefore all died: ¹⁵ And he died for all, that those who live should not henceforth live for themselves, but for him who died for them, and rose again.

¹⁷ Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, new things have come. ¹⁸ And all these things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ That is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not counting men's sins against them; and he has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

²¹ For our sakes he has made him to be sin, who knew no sin; that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

⁶ So we urged Titus, since he had already begun, that he would also finish this gracious work among you.

³ But I fear, lest, as the serpent deceived Eve through his cunning, so your minds will be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ.

³¹ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus, who is blessed forevermore, knows that I do not lie.

¹⁶ To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood:

²⁰ (Now these things which I am writing to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.)

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

¹⁶ Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

⁹ So then, those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the man of faith.

²⁰ Now a mediator is not for one party only, but God is one.

⁴ But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

⁴ But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ To redeem those who were under the law, that we might be adopted as sons.

⁷ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

⁹ Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he set forth in him: ¹⁰ That in the fulness of time he might gather all things together under Christ, both things which are in heaven, and things which are on earth. In him

¹⁷ That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared beforehand for us to do.

⁵ Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

⁷ Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the working of his power. ⁸ To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, was this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

¹³ Therefore I ask that you not be discouraged at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

⁶ One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in all.

² And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet smelling aroma to God.

⁹ (For the fruit of the Spirit consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) ¹⁰ And try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

²⁰ Always giving thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

²² Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, his body: and he himself is its saviour. ²⁴ Therefore, as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in everything.

³ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

¹¹ Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are from Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

⁶ Who, though being in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped: ⁷ But made himself of no reputation, and took upon himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: ⁸ And being found in form as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are admirable; if there is any virtue, and if there is anything worthy of praise, think on these things.

¹⁸ But I have received all, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and well-pleasing to God.

¹⁰ That you might walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all things, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

¹⁸ Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

¹⁵ Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us. They do not please God, and oppose all men, ¹⁶ By hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved, thus always filling up their sins to the limit: but wrath has come upon them at last.

¹² And may the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

¹ Furthermore, we urge you, brethren, and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have learned from us how you ought to walk and to please God, as indeed you are doing, so you would do more and more.

¹¹ And that you aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

³ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith grows abundantly, and the love of every one of you for each other grows greater;

¹⁰ When he shall come to be glorified in his saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all those who believe, including you, because our testimony among you was believed.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the commandment of God our Saviour, and of Jesus Christ, our hope;

⁵ Now the aim of this commandment is love from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and a sincere faith:

¹¹ According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. ¹² And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, for he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me, along with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

⁴ Who desires all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁹ In like manner also, let women adorn themselves in proper apparel, modestly and soberly; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire;

¹⁰ For this reason we both labour and strive, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those who believe.

⁴ But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home, and to repay their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. ⁵ Now she who is a widow indeed, and left all alone, trusts in God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. ⁶ But she who lives in self-indulgence is dead while she lives. ⁷ And these things give as commands, that they may be blameless. ⁸ But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. ⁹ Let a widow be placed on the roll only if she is at least sixty years old, having been the wife of one man, ¹⁰ Having a reputation for good works; if she has brought up her children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has devoted herself to every good work.

¹⁴ Therefore, I want the younger women to marry, bear children, guide the house, and give the adversary no occasion to speak reproachfully.

¹⁵ Which he will bring about in his own time, he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

⁸ Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but share in the afflictions of the gospel, by the power of God; ⁹ Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not by virtue of our works, but because of his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,

¹¹ Of this gospel I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher,

²⁴ And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome; but kind to all, able to teach, forbearing, ²⁵ In gentleness correcting those who oppose him; that God might grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth;

⁷ Ever learning, but never able to acknowledge the truth.

¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God's chosen and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

³ And at the proper time he revealed his word through the preaching which was entrusted to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

³ Urge the older women likewise, to be reverent in behaviour, not malicious gossips, not slaves to much wine, but teaching good things; ⁴ That they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ To be sensible, chaste, workers at home, kind, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be maligned.

⁵ To be sensible, chaste, workers at home, kind, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be maligned.

¹⁰ Not to pilfer, but showing entire and true fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. ¹¹ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

¹¹ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, ¹² Teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, and live sensibly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

¹² Teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, and live sensibly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; ¹³ Looking for the blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ Who gave himself up for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works.

¹⁴ Who gave himself up for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works.

² To speak evil of no man, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all courtesy to all men.

⁸ This is a faithful saying; and I want you to affirm these things constantly, that those who have believed in God might be careful to engage in good works. These things are good and profitable for men.

⁶ But in a certain place someone testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man, that you care for him? ⁷ You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honour, and did set him over the works of your hands: ⁸ You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in putting all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. ⁹ But we see Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honour because he suffered death; that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man. ¹⁰ For it was fitting that he, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. ¹¹ For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all of one family: for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² Saying, I will declare your name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will sing praises to you. ¹³ And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, here am I, and the children whom God has given me.

¹¹ And we desire that every one of you show the same diligence in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end:

²⁵ Therefore, he is also able to completely save those who come to God through him, for he ever lives to make intercession for them.

⁶ But now he has obtained a ministry that is as much superior to the old as the covenant of which he is the mediator is superior, for it was established upon better promises.

¹² Nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹⁵ And for this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions committed under the first covenant, those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance.

²² Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,

¹⁴ Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

²⁴ And to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, that speaks better things than that of Abel.

¹⁶ Do not forget to do good and to share: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. ⁷ Let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord, ⁸ For a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

⁸ Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

¹⁶ Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

¹⁸ For you know that you were not redeemed with perishable things, such as silver and gold, from the vain way of life you inherited from your fathers; ¹⁹ But with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

⁵ You also, as living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God; that you should declare the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. ¹⁰ In times past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God: once you had not obtained mercy, but now you have obtained mercy. ¹¹ Dearly beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers, abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul. ¹² Conduct yourselves righteously among the Gentiles: that, though they speak against you as evildoers, they may behold your good works and glorify God on the day of visitation.

¹² Conduct yourselves righteously among the Gentiles: that, though they speak against you as evildoers, they may behold your good works and glorify God on the day of visitation. ¹³ Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme authority;

²⁰ For what credit is there, if, when you are beaten for your wrongs, you endure it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you endure it patiently, this is commendable before God.

²⁴ He himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we might die to sins and live to righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

¹ Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your husbands; so that, if any do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the behaviour of the wives;

³ Let your beauty not be in outward adornment; the plaiting of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel; ⁴ But let it be of the inner person of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. ⁵ For in this manner the holy women in days of old, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, and were submissive to their husbands.

⁵ For in this manner the holy women in days of old, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, and were submissive to their husbands. ⁶ Thus Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: and you are her daughters, if you do right, and do not give way to fear. ⁷ Likewise, you husbands, live with your wives considerately, giving honour to the woman as the weaker vessel, since you are heirs together of the grace of life. Do this that your prayers may not be hindered.

¹⁸ For Christ died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,

⁷ But the end of all things is at hand: therefore be of sound mind and sober judgement for prayer.
