¹⁷ And one of the multitude answered and said, Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a dumb spirit; ¹⁸ And whenever it seizes him, it tears him: and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid: and I asked your disciples to cast it out; and they could not. ¹⁹ He answered him, and said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I endure you? bring him to me. ²⁰ And they brought him to him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him; and he fell on the ground, and rolled around foaming at the mouth. ²¹ And he asked his father, How long has this been happening to him? And he said, Since he was a child. ²² And often it has cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.

²² And often it has cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us. ²³ Jesus said to him, If you can! all things are possible to him who believes. ²⁴ And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said, Lord, I believe; help me overcome my unbelief.

²⁴ And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said, Lord, I believe; help me overcome my unbelief.

³² But they did not understood that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

⁴³ And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched:

⁴⁷ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. ⁴⁸ And many commanded him to hold his peace: but he cried out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent away empty.

¹ And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,

¹⁷ And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting there, who had come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present for him to heal.

²¹ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

³⁰ But the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do you eat and drink with tax gatherers and sinners?

¹⁷ And he came down with them, and stood on a level place; and there was the company of his disciples and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; ¹⁸ And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were healed. ¹⁹ And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for power came from him, and healed them all.

³⁹ And he spoke a parable to them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

⁴⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for from the overflow of the heart his mouth speaks.

⁶ Then Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble yourself: for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof: ⁷ Nor did I think myself worthy to come to you: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

⁹ When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said to the people who followed him, I say to you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.

¹³ And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Do not weep.

¹⁶ And fear came upon them all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is risen up among us; and, God has visited his people.

²¹ And in that same hour he cured many people of their diseases and afflictions, and of evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight. ²² Then Jesus answered and said to them, Go your way, and tell John the things you have seen and heard; how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the gospel is preached to the poor.

⁵⁰ And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.

¹³ But he said to them, You give them something to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fish; unless we go and buy food for all these people. ¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each. ¹⁵ And they did so, and made them all sit down. ¹⁶ Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

⁴⁵ But they did not understand this statement, and it was hidden from them, so they did not understand it: and they were afraid to ask him about it.

⁸ I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as much as he needs. ⁹ And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ¹⁰ For every one who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened.

³⁸ And the Pharisee was surprised when he saw that he had not first washed before dinner.

³⁸ And the Pharisee was surprised when he saw that he had not first washed before dinner.

³⁸ And the Pharisee was surprised when he saw that he had not first washed before dinner. ³⁹ And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

³⁹ And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. ⁴⁰ You fools, did not he who made the outside also make the inside?

⁴⁰ You fools, did not he who made the outside also make the inside? ⁴¹ But rather give what you have within as alms; and, behold, all things are clean for you.

²⁹ And do not seek what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, and do not be of an anxious mind. ³⁰ For the nations of the world seek after all these things: and your Father knows that you have need of them.

¹³ But when you have a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

²¹ So the servant returned, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.

⁴ What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? ⁵ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

¹⁸ I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, ¹⁹ And am no longer worthy to be called your son: treat me as one of your hired servants.

²¹ And he longed to eat the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

⁵ And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.

¹³ And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, ¹⁶ And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answered, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? ¹⁸ Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner.

¹ And he spoke a parable to them to show that men ought always to pray, and not loose heart; ² Saying, There was a judge in a city, who did not fear God or respect man: ³ And there was a widow in that city; and she kept coming to him, saying, Give me justice against my adversary. ⁴ And he would not for a while: but afterward he said to himself, Though I do not fear God or respect man; ⁵ Yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, lest by her continual coming she wear me out. ⁶ And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says. ⁷ And shall not God vindicate his elect, who cry day and night to him, and will he delay long with them? ⁸ I tell you that he will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?

¹³ And the tax gatherer, standing far off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but beat upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me, a sinner.

³⁴ And they understood none of these things: this saying was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things which were spoken.

³⁸ And he cried out, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. ³⁹ And those who led the way rebuked him, telling him to hold his peace: but he cried out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴² And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight: your faith has healed you. ⁴³ And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

⁴³ And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

²² And he said to him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow:

⁴⁵ Then in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, ⁴⁶ Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and the best seats in the synagogues, and the places of honour at feasts; ⁴⁷ They devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: they shall receive the greater condemnation.

¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

¹⁹ And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me.

⁴⁰ But the other rebuked him, saying, Do you not fear God, since you are under the same condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing wrong. ⁴² And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

³⁰ And it came to pass, as he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to them.

⁴¹ And while they still did not believe because of joy, and marvelled, he said to them, Have you anything here to eat? ⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the scriptures,

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way. ⁵¹ And as he was going down, his servants met him, and told him, Your son lives. ⁵² Then he enquired of them the hour when he began to mend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. ⁵³ Then the father realized that this was the very hour when Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and he believed, and his whole household.

¹ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, that is, the sea of Tiberias.

⁵ When Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company coming to him, he said to Philip, Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said to test him: for he knew what he would do. ⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii of bread is not sufficient for every one of them to have a little. ⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, ⁹ There is a lad here, who has five barley loaves, and two small fish: but what are they among so many? ¹⁰ And Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand. ¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to those who were seated; and he did likewise with the fish, as much as they wanted.

²³ But now some other boats came from Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? ⁴² Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, the village where David lived?

²⁴ Then again they called the man who was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

² Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

⁶ If a man does not abide in me, he is thrown away as a branch, and withers; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

²⁹ His disciples said to him, Lo, now you speak plainly, and are not using a proverb.

¹ After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way:

⁹ As soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. ¹⁰ Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fish which you have caught.

²² You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs, which God performed by him in your midst, as you yourselves know:

² And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, was being carried to the temple gate which is called Beautiful, where they laid him daily to ask for alms from those who entered into the temple; ³ Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms. ⁴ And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look at us. ⁵ And he gave his attention to them, expecting to receive something from them. ⁶ Then Peter said, Of silver and gold I have none; but what I have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk! ⁷ And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankles received strength. ⁸ And leaping up he stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. ⁹ And all the people saw him walking and praising God: ¹⁰ And they knew that it was the one who sat begging for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him. ¹¹ And as he clung to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly amazed.

²⁵ You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. ²⁶ God, having raised up his servant, sent him first to bless you, by turning every one of you away from your iniquities.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, judge for yourselves.

¹⁵ So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and mats, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall upon some of them. ¹⁶ There also came a multitude from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were all healed.

²⁹ Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

²¹ You have no part or portion in this matter: for your heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Therefore, repent of this wickedness, and pray to God, that perhaps the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.

¹⁴ But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. ¹⁵ And the voice spoke to him a second time, What God has cleansed, do not call unholy.

⁸ But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean has at any time entered into my mouth. ⁹ But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God has cleansed, do not call unholy.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should have first been spoken to you: but seeing that you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁸ Now there sat a certain man at Lystra without strength in his feet; he was a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked. ⁹ He heard Paul speak: and Paul, who steadfastly beheld him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, ¹⁰ Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on your feet. And he leaped up and walked.

¹¹ And God performed extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul: ¹² So that handkerchiefs or aprons he had touched were brought to the sick, and diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

²¹ And he said to me, Depart: for I will send you far away to the Gentiles. ²² And until this word they listened to him, then they lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

⁹ And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' party arose, and argued vigorously, saying, We find no evil in this man: what if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?

³³ And when day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take food, saying, Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and in fasting, having taken nothing.

³⁵ And when he had spoken thus, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

²⁵ And when they could not agree among themselves, they departed, after Paul spoke one last statement, Well did the Holy Spirit speak by Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, ²⁶ Saying, Go to this people, and say, You shall keep hearing, and shall not understand; and keep seeing, but not perceive: ²⁷ For the heart of this people has grown calloused, and with their ears they barely hear, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, that I should heal them.

⁴ God forbid: let God be true, even if every man is a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your words, and might overcome when you are judged.

¹⁰ As it is written, There is no one righteous, no, not one: ¹¹ There is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks after God. ¹² They have all left the way, together they have become unprofitable; there is no one who does good, no, not one. ¹³ Their throats are an open grave; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

¹³ Their throats are an open grave; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: ¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: ¹⁵ Their feet are swift to shed blood: ¹⁶ Destruction and misery are in their ways: ¹⁷ And the way of peace have they not known: ¹⁸ There is no fear of God before their eyes. ¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be held accountable to God.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be held accountable to God.

²⁹ Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

³¹ Do we then make the law void through faith? Not at all: rather, we establish the law.

¹⁹ And he did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, now as good as dead, for he was about a hundred years old, or the deadness of Sarah's womb: ²⁰ He did not waver through unbelief in the promise of God; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

¹⁸ For I know that in myself (that is, in my flesh,) no good thing dwells: for to desire what is right is present within me; but to perform what is right, this I cannot do.

⁷ Because the mind set on the flesh is hostile to God: for it is not subject to the law of God, indeed it cannot be. ⁸ So then those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁴ They are the Israelites; to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the temple worship, and the promises;

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.

⁶ He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord; He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, abstains for the Lord, and gives God thanks.

¹⁴ I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

²⁰ Do not destroy the work of God for food. All things indeed are pure; but it is wrong for a man to cause another to fall by what he eats.

⁸ Now I say that Christ became a minister to the circumcised for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:

⁹ For we are labourers together with God: you are God's field, God's building.

¹² Now if any man builds upon this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw; ¹³ Each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall test the quality of every man's work. ¹⁴ If any man's work remains, which he has built upon it, he shall receive a reward. ¹⁵ If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; but only as through fire. ¹⁶ Do you not know that you are God's temple, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷ If any man defiles God's temple, God shall destroy him; for the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple.

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexual offenders, ¹⁰ Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹³ Food is for the belly, and the belly for food: but God shall destroy both of them. The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

¹⁸ Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside his body; but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God, and that you are not your own? ²⁰ For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

³¹ Therefore, whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ³² Do not give offence to the Jews, or to the Greeks, or to the church of God: ³³ Just as I try to please all men in all things, not seeking my own good, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

² By which you are also saved, if you hold fast to what I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

⁸ And last of all he appeared to me also, as to one untimely born. ⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, and am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

³ We give no offence in anything, that the ministry may not be discredited:

⁵ We did not yield in subjection to them, not even for a hour; that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

¹⁵ We who are Jews by nature, and not Gentile sinners,

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are obvious; they are; sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness, ²⁰ Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, jealousy, fits of rage, selfishness, dissensions, factions, ²¹ Envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like: of which I forewarn you, as I have also warned you in the past, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

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:

¹ And you were dead in trespasses and sins; ² In which you walked in times past, according to the ways of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience. ³ Among them we all lived in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, like the others.

¹² That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

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;

¹⁹ And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fulness of God.

³ But sexual immorality, and all impurity, or covetousness, must not even be named among you, as is befitting saints; ⁴ Nor let there be filthiness, or foolish talk, or coarse jesting, which are not proper: but rather giving of thanks. ⁵ For this you know: that no sexually immoral or impure person, or covetous man, (for such a man is an idolater,) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. ⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

² Beware of the dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilators of the flesh.

⁹ For this reason, since the day we heard it, we do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

⁸ Beware, lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, which depend on the traditions of men and the rudiments of the world, and not on Christ.

¹⁸ Let no man defraud you of your reward, delighting in self-abasement and the worship of angels, taking his stand on visions, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, ¹⁹ And not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, supported and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God. ²⁰ Therefore, if you are dead with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as though still living in the world, do you submit to such ordinances as,

²⁰ Therefore, if you are dead with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as though still living in the world, do you submit to such ordinances as, ²¹ Do not touch; do not taste; do not handle?

²¹ Do not touch; do not taste; do not handle? ²² These all refer to things which perish with use; and are based on the commandments and doctrines of men.

²² These all refer to things which perish with use; and are based on the commandments and doctrines of men. ²³ These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom with their self-imposed worship, and self-abasement, and severity to the body; but are of no value in restraining the indulgence of the flesh.

²³ These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom with their self-imposed worship, and self-abasement, and severity to the body; but are of no value in restraining the indulgence of the flesh.

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; ⁴ Nor to give heed to myths and endless genealogies, which promote useless speculation, rather than godly training, which is by faith.

¹³ Though I was formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a violent man: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me, along with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ This is a trustworthy saying, and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am the foremost.

¹ Now the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; ² Taught by hypocritical liars; who have their consciences seared as with a hot iron; ³ Forbidding marriage, and commanding abstinence from foods which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

³ Forbidding marriage, and commanding abstinence from foods which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. ⁴ For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be refused, if it is received with thanksgiving:

⁴ For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be refused, if it is received with thanksgiving: ⁵ For it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. ⁶ If you point out all these things to the brethren, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of faith and of good doctrine, which you have been following. ⁷ But have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales, but rather train yourself in godliness;

³ Honour widows who are widows indeed. 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.

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.

¹⁶ If any woman who believes has dependent widows, let her assist them, and let the church not be burdened; that it may relieve those who are widows indeed.

⁵ And wrangling among men of corrupt minds, who are destitute of the truth, and suppose that godliness is a means to gain.

¹⁴ Not giving heed to Jewish myths, and commandments of men who turn from the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure: but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and consciences are defiled.

² To speak evil of no man, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all courtesy to all men. ³ For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, slaves to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy; hated, and hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, ⁵ He saved us, not because of works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing by the Holy Spirit; ⁶ Whom he poured out upon us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

¹² Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, leading you to turn away from the living God.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities; but one who in every respect was tempted as we are, yet without sin.

¹² For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need for someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

⁹ Do not be carried away by varied and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing for the heart to be established by grace, not by foods, which have not benefitted those who have been occupied with them.

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally, and without reproach; and it shall be given him.

¹³ Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man: ¹⁴ But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away and enticed by his own lust. ¹⁵ Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is fully-grown, brings forth death.

²⁰ Do you want to be shown, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

⁵ Even so, the tongue is a small part of the body, and it boasts of great things. Behold how great a forest is kindled by a little fire! ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity among our members. It defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the whole course of life; and is itself set on fire by hell.
