³⁵ In all things, I gave you to understand, that, thus toiling, it behoves to be helping the weak, also to be keeping in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, that, he himself, said––Happy is it, rather to give than to receive!

¹⁷ Unto no one, evil for evil rendering: providing honourable things before all men:

¹⁷ Unto no one, evil for evil rendering: providing honourable things before all men: ¹⁸ If possible––so far as dependeth on you, with all men being at peace:

⁸ Nothing to any, be owing––save to be loving one another; for, he that loveth his neighbour, hath given to, law, its fulfillment.

¹⁵ Be taking heed, therefore, exactly how ye are walking,––not as unwise, but as wise,––

⁵ Let, your considerateness, be known unto all men. The Lord, is near:–– ⁶ For nothing, be anxious, but, in everything, by your prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let, your petitions, be made known unto God; ⁷ And, the peace of God, which riseth above every mind, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are dignified, whatsoever things are righteous, whatsoever things are chaste, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report,––if there be any virtue, and if any praise, the same, be taking into account;

⁸ For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are dignified, whatsoever things are righteous, whatsoever things are chaste, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report,––if there be any virtue, and if any praise, the same, be taking into account;

⁵ In wisdom, be walking towards them who are without,––the opportunity, buying out for yourselves, ⁶ Not over–reaching and defrauding, in the matter, his brother; because, an avenger, is the Lord, concerning all these things,––even as we before told you, and solemnly called you to witness.

²⁶ For, such a high–priest as this, for us, was [even] suited: Loving, noble, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and become, higher than the heavens;

⁹ By faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as a foreign land, in tents, dwelling, along with Isaac and Jacob, the joint–heirs of the same promise;

¹³ In faith, all these died––not bearing away the promises, but, from afar, beholding and saluting them, and confessing that, strangers and sojourners, were they upon the land. ¹⁴ For, they who such things as these are saying, make it clear that, of a paternal home they are in quest; ¹⁵ And, if indeed of that they had been mindful, from which they had come out, they might, in that case, have had an opportunity, to return; ¹⁶ But, now, after a better one, are they reaching, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be invoked as, their God,––for he hath prepared for them, a city.

¹⁴ Peace, be pursuing, with all, and the obtaining of holiness,––without which no one shall see the Lord:

⁵ Without fondness for money, be your way of life,––being content with the present things,––for, he, hath said: In nowise, thee, will I leave, no indeed! in nowise, thee, will I forsake:

¹¹ Beloved! I exhort you, as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly covetings, such as take the field against the soul;

⁸ And, finally, all, being of one mind, having fellow––feeling, attached to the brethren, of tender affection, of lowly mind:

¹ My dear children! these things, am I writing unto you, in order that ye may not be committing sin. And, if anyone should commit sin, an Advocate, have we, with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous; ² And, he, is, a propitiation, concerning our sins,––and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.

¹ Behold, what manner of love, the Father hath bestowed upon us––that, children of God, we should be called,––and such we are! Therefore, the world understandeth us not, because it understood not him. ² Beloved! now, are we, children of God; and, not yet, hath it been made manifest, what we shall be,––We know that, if it should be made manifest, like unto him, shall we be, because we shall see him, just as he is.
