Walk as children of light,— ⁹ for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,— ¹⁰ proving what is well pleasing to the Lord, ¹¹ and be not partakers of the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. ¹² For the things which are done by them in secret it is base even to mention; ¹³ but all things proved to be wrong are made manifest by the light; for every thing which makes manifest is light. ¹⁴ Wherefore he says, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light. ^{15 (2:6)} See then that you walk discreetly, not as unwise but as wise, ¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Be not foolish therefore, but understand what the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess, but be filled with the spirit, ¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord, ²⁰ giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father, ²¹ being subject one to another in the fear of Christ. ²² Let wives [be subject] to their husbands as to the Lord, ²³ for the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; he is the savior of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to Christ, so also let wives be subject to husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, purifying it with the washing of water with the word, ²⁷ that he might present the church to himself glorious, not having a spot or wrinkle or any thing of the kind, but that it should be holy and blameless. ²⁸ Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; ²⁹ for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the church; ³⁰ for we are members of his body. ³¹ For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. ³² This is a great mystery; but I speak of Christ and the church. ³³ But do you also, individually, each one so love his wife as himself, and the wife [see] that she reverences the husband.

Will you not fear the power? Do good, and you shall have praise from it; ⁴ for [the power] is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister of justice for punishment to him that does evil. ⁵ Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only on account of punishment, but also on account of conscience.

^{14 (10:6)} And I am persuaded, my brothers, even I myself, concerning you, that you are full of kindness, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another;

^{17 (11:3)} I exhort you, brothers, to observe those that cause dissensions and offenses contrary to the teaching which you learned, and avoid them;

^{4 (1:2)} I thank my God always for you, for the grace of God given you in Christ Jesus,

³⁰ But you are of him in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption,

⁵ Judge nothing therefore before the time, till the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden deeds of darkness, and make known the purposes of the hearts; and then shall each one have praise from God.

^{1 (2:1)} IT is commonly reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not among the gentiles, that a man should have his father's wife.

⁷ Remove the old leaven, that you may be a new mass, as you are unleavened; for Christ our passover was also sacrificed for us.

^{9 (2:2)} I wrote to you in the epistle not to associate with fornicators; ¹⁰ not altogether the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and rapacious, or idolaters, since then you would have to go out of the world. ¹¹ But now I have written to you not to associate, if any one called a brother is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, even to eat with such a one.

¹¹ But now I have written to you not to associate, if any one called a brother is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, even to eat with such a one.

⁹ Know you not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but you are washed, you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹³ Food for the stomach, and the stomach for food; but God will destroy both it and them. And the body is not for fornication but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body;

¹⁵ Know you not that your bodies are Christ's members? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them a harlot's members? by no means. ¹⁶ Know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body [with her]? For the two, says he, shall be one flesh.

¹⁸ Avoid fornication. Every crime that a man commits is out of his body; but he that commits fornication sins in his body.

²⁶ I think then that this is good on account of the present necessity, because it is good for man to be so.

²⁹ But this I say, brothers, the time is short, so that in future those who have wives should be as those not having them, ³⁰ and those who weep as those not weeping, and those who rejoice as those not rejoicing, and those who buy as not possessing, ³¹ and those who use the world as those not abusing it; for the fashion of this world passes away.

⁸ Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them did and fell in one day twenty-three thousand.

²⁰ But what the gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I do not wish you to be partakers with demons. ²¹ You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons; you cannot partake at the Lord's table and the table of demons.

³ But I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman, the man, and the head of Christ, God. ⁴ Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraces his head. ⁵ But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered disgraces her head; for it is one and the same as if she was shaved. ⁶ For if a woman is not veiled then let her hair be cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to be shaved, let her wear a veil. ^{7 (5:2)} For a man ought not to cover his head, being an image and glory of God; but the woman is a glory of man. ⁸ For man is not of woman, but woman of man; ⁹ for man also was not created because of the woman, but woman because of the man. ¹⁰ For this reason ought the woman to have a power [veil] on her head because of the angels.

²¹ for each one in eating takes his supper before the rest, and one is hungry and another drunk.

^{12 (6:3)} For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body being many are one body, so also is Christ; ¹³ for we have all been baptized with one Spirit in one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and have all been made to drink one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body also is not one member but many. ¹⁵ If the foot says, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? ¹⁶ and if the ear says, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole was a hearing, where would be the smelling? ¹⁸ But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body, as he pleased. ¹⁹ But if all were one member, where would be the body? ²⁰ But now there are many members, but one body. ²¹ The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you, or again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you; ²² but much more those members of the body which seem to be weak are necessary, ²³ and those which we esteem to be less honorable members of the body, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our uncomely members have more abundant comeliness, ²⁴ for our comely ones have no need. But God has commingled the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which was lacking, ²⁵ that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another. ²⁶ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; and if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with it. ^{27 (6:4)} And you are a body of Christ, and members in particular.

^{20 (6:10)} Brothers, be not children in understanding, but in malice be children, and in understanding be perfect men.

^{26 (6:11)} What then is [to be done] brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a revelation, has an interpretation; let all things be done for edification.

^{34 (6:12)} As in all the churches of the saints, let your women keep silence in the assemblies; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

³⁴ Awake to righteousness and sin not; for some have not a knowledge of God. I speak to your shame.

¹⁴ let all your [works] be in love.

¹⁶ that you also be in subjection to such, and to every one that works and labors with us.

¹¹ you also striving together for us in prayer, that thanks may be rendered for us by many persons for the gift bestowed on us by many.

¹⁵ for we are a sweet odor of Christ to God, in the saved and in the lost,

¹⁸ And we all with unvailed face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same likeness, from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.

⁶ For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and present us with you.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constrains us, judging this, that if one died for all then were all dead; ¹⁵ and he died for all, that those who live should no more live for themselves but for him that died for them and rose again.

^{14 (1:19)} Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what participation has righteousness with wickedness? or what communion has light with darkness?

^{14 (1:19)} Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what participation has righteousness with wickedness? or what communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵ and what agreement has Christ with Beliar, or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ and what agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God; as God said, I will dwell in them, and I will walk in them, and I will be to them a God and they shall be to me a people. ¹⁷ Go out therefore from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and touch not the impure; and I will receive you, ¹⁸ and will be to you a father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

¹ Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every defilement of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

⁹ for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he became poor, though rich, that you by his poverty might be rich.

¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

² For I am zealous for you with a godly zeal, for I joined you, a chaste virgin, to one husband, to present to Christ;

²¹ lest when I come again my God shall humble me before you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned, and not changed their minds, in respect to impurity and fornication and lewdness which they have committed.

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

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ; and I no longer live myself, but Christ lives in me; and the present life which I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

^{1 (2:1)} O FOOLISH Galatians, who has fascinated you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been set forth among you crucified?

³ Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit do you now end in the flesh?

¹³ For you are called to liberty, brothers, only make not your liberty an occasion for the flesh, but by love serve one another.

¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, impurity, lewdness,

¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, impurity, lewdness, ²⁰ idolatry, magic, enmities, strife, envy, anger, contentions, dissensions, heresies, ²¹ murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²¹ murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²¹ murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.

²³ meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. ²⁴ And the [subjects] of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires. ²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

⁷ Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what a man sows, that shall he also reap; ⁸ for he that sows for his flesh, shall of the flesh reap destruction; but he that sows for the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life eternal.

⁸ for he that sows for his flesh, shall of the flesh reap destruction; but he that sows for the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life eternal.

¹⁰ As we have opportunity, therefore, let us do good to all, but especially to the members of the family of the faith.

⁴ as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him,

¹⁶ do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

²² and put all things in subjection under his feet, and made him head over all things to the church, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all things in all.

²³ which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all things in all.

² in which you formerly walked according to the life of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit which now operates in the children of disobedience,

² in which you formerly walked according to the life of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit which now operates in the children of disobedience, ³ among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, performing the wishes of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath even as others;

⁵ even when we were dead in sins he made us alive with Christ,—by grace are you saved,

^{11 (1:5)} Wherefore, remember that you were formerly gentiles by birth, called uncircumcision by that called circumcision made in the flesh by the hand, ¹² that at that time you were without Christ, alienated from the polity of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world;

⁶ that the gentiles are co-heirs and of the same body and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through the faith, you being founded and established in love,

¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ which exceeds knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

² with all humility and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love,

¹⁵ but speaking the truth with love we may grow to him in all things, who is the head, Christ;

¹⁸ with their understandings darkened, alienated from the life of God on account of the ignorance which is in them, on account of the hardness of their hearts, ¹⁹ who being without feeling have given themselves up to lewdness, to commit every impurity with greediness. ²⁰ But you have not so learned Christ,

²² that you should lay aside your former mode of life the old man destroyed by deceitful desires,

^{25 (2:4)} Wherefore, laying aside lying let every one speak the truth to his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

²⁹ Let no evil word proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good for useful edification, that it may afford benefit to those that hear.

³² But be kind one to another, merciful, giving one to another, as God also in Christ gave to you.

² and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God of good odor. ^{3 (2:5)} Let not fornication and any impurity or covetousness be named among you, as becomes saints, ⁴ nor indecorum and foolish talking, or jesting, things not becoming, but rather giving of thanks. ⁵ For you know this, that no fornicator, or impure, or covetous person, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

⁷ Be not therefore partakers with them.

¹¹ and be not partakers of the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. ¹² For the things which are done by them in secret it is base even to mention;

^{15 (2:6)} See then that you walk discreetly, not as unwise but as wise,

¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord, ²⁰ giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father,

²² Let wives [be subject] to their husbands as to the Lord,

²² Let wives [be subject] to their husbands as to the Lord,

²⁴ But as the church is subject to Christ, so also let wives be subject to husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it,

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, purifying it with the washing of water with the word,

²⁸ Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself;

²⁸ Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; ²⁹ for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the church;

³¹ For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

³³ But do you also, individually, each one so love his wife as himself, and the wife [see] that she reverences the husband.

¹² for our conflict is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the potentates of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual [hosts] of evil in the heavenly [worlds]. ¹³ Take therefore the whole armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done all to stand. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, girded about your loins with truth, and having put on the cuirass of righteousness, ¹⁵ and bound your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

¹⁹ and for me, that a word may be given me at the opening of my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

^{3 (1:2)} I thank my God at every remembrance of you,

¹⁰ that you may prove the excellent, that you may be without fault and without offense in the day of Christ, ¹¹ filled with the fruit of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

^{27 (1:4)} Only conduct yourselves as citizens worthily of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand firm in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

³ Do nothing in strife or vain glory, but in humility let each esteem others better than himself,

⁶ Be anxious for nothing, but with all prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

¹⁸ But I have all things and abound, I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, a perfume of good odor, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

^{9 (1:3)} Therefore we also, from the day that we heard, cease not to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

¹¹ being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious power, for all patience and long suffering with joy; ¹² giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit for a portion in the inheritance of the saints in light, ¹³ who delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,

¹⁸ and he is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that he might himself be preeminent in all things,

²² by the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blame and without fault before him,

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

² that your hearts may be comforted, being united in love and [raised] to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God,

⁴ But I say this that no one may mislead you with persuasive words.

^{8 (1:6)} See that no one leads you off as a prey through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ,

¹⁸ Let no one wishing [it] deprive you of your reward by humility and a worship of angels, intruding into what he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his carnal mind, ¹⁹ and not holding the head, from which all the body being supplied and compacted by means of joints and tendons grows with an increase of God.

^{1 (2:1)} IF you, therefore, have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God;

^{5 (2:2)} Put to death, therefore, your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness which is idolatry, ⁶ for which comes the wrath of God.

⁸ but now do you put away also all these, anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, vile conversation out of your mouth;

^{12 (2:3)} Put on, therefore, as elect and beloved saints of God, hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering,

¹⁴ and in addition to all these [put on] love, which is the bond of perfection. ¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for which you have been called in one body; and be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching with all wisdom, and admonishing one another, with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God,

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching with all wisdom, and admonishing one another, with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God, ¹⁷ and whatever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to the God [and] Father through him.

¹⁷ and whatever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to the God [and] Father through him. ^{18 (2:4)} Wives, be subject to the husbands, as is fit in the Lord. ¹⁹ Husbands, love the wives and be not bitter to them. ²⁰ Children, obey [your] parents in all things; for this is well pleasing in the Lord.

²² Servants, obey in all things masters according to the flesh, not with eye service, as those pleasing men, but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord.

⁵ Walk in wisdom towards those without, redeeming the time.

¹⁰ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

⁹ For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you for all the joy with which we rejoice on your account before our God,

^{1 (2:1)} FINALLY, therefore, brothers, we beseech and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, as you have received from us how you ought to walk and please God, that you abound still more. ² For you know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. ³ For this is the will of God, your purity, that you should abstain from fornication,

³ For this is the will of God, your purity, that you should abstain from fornication,

⁷ For God has not called us to impurity, but to purity.

^{9 (2:2)} But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that I should write to you; for you are taught by God to love one another;

⁴ But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that the day should come upon you like a thief; ⁵ for you are all children of light, and children of day; we are not of night nor of darkness. ^{6 (2:5)} Therefore let us not sleep as others, but let us watch and be sober.

^{6 (2:5)} Therefore let us not sleep as others, but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For they that sleep sleep in the night, and they that are drunk drink in the night;

⁷ For they that sleep sleep in the night, and they that are drunk drink in the night; ⁸ but let us who are of day be sober, putting on a cuirass of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation,

¹⁵ See that no one renders evil for evil, but always pursue the good both one to another and to all.

¹⁸ give thanks on every occasion; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to us.

²¹ Prove all things, hold fast the good;

²³ And may the God of peace himself purify you wholly, and your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

^{3 (1:2)} We ought to thank God always for you, brothers, as is fit, because your faith increases greatly, and the love of every one of you all one for another abounds,

³ Let no one deceive you in any way, for [he shall not come] unless the apostacy comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,

¹⁰ and with every unrighteous deceit among those who are destroyed, because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. ¹¹ And therefore, God sends them a power of delusion that they should believe a lie, ¹² that they all may be condemned who believe not the truth but have pleasure in wickedness. ^{13 (1:4)} But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you to salvation by purification of spirit, and belief of the truth,

^{6 (1:6)} And we charge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

¹⁴ But if any one obeys not our word by this epistle, mark that one, and have no association with him, that he may be ashamed;

³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all, a testimony for its own times,

¹⁰ but with good works, which become women professing godliness. ¹¹ Let a woman learn quietly in all subjection;

¹¹ Let a woman learn quietly in all subjection; ¹² but I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have authority over a man, but to be quiet.

³ not a wine-drinker, not a quarrelsome man, but gentle, not contentious, not avaricious, ⁴ ruling well his own house, having his children in subjection with all dignity,—

^{8 (2:2)} The deacons in like manner ought to be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not devoted to base gain,

¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of piety; [Christ,] who was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, was seen by angels, was preached to the nations, was believed on in the world, was received up into glory.

¹² Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the faithful, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

⁴ But if any widow has children or relatives, let them learn first to support their family and to make returns to their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

²⁰ Those that sin, rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

²² Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither partake of others' sins. Keep yourself pure.

⁵ and wranglings of men of unsound judgments and destitute of the truth, supposing that piety is gain.

⁹ But those who wish to be rich fall into trial and a snare, and many foolish and injurious desires, which plunge men into destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evils, which some having desired have been misled from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. ^{11 (2:13)} But do you, O man of God, avoid these things; but pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, patience, meekness.

^{17 (2:14)} Charge the rich in the present life not to be high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God who gives us all things richly to enjoy,

¹⁰ but made known now through the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who destroyed death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

²⁶ and that they may recover themselves from the snare of the devil, who are made captives by him to his will.

² Men will be selfish, avaricious, vain, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

⁵ having a form of piety but denying its power; and these avoid.

² preach the word, press it in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and instruction;

⁶ if any one is blameless, a husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of intemperance or of insubordination. ⁷ For a bishop must be blameless as a steward of God, not self-indulgent, not soon angry, not given to wine, not contentious, not devoted to base gain,

¹¹ whom it is necessary to silence, who mislead whole families, teaching for base gain what they ought not.

³ that the aged women, in like manner, be of behavior becoming holiness, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good,

⁵ sober, pure, fond of home, kind, subject to their husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

⁷ presenting yourself as an example of good works in all things, in teaching [exhibiting] integrity, gravity,

⁹ Let servants be subject to their masters, please them in all things, not contradicting,

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all wickedness, and purify for himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. ^{15 (1:7)} These things speak, and exhort, and reprove with all authority; let no man despise you.

³ For we formerly were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, detestable, and hating one another;

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we did but according to his mercy he saved us through the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ that having been justified by his grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

⁸ Wherefore, having great boldness to command you what is fit,

⁸ but of the Son, Thy throne, God, is forever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of rectitude.

¹³ And to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand till I make thy enemies thy footstool?

¹⁹ And we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

²⁵ whence also he is able to save forever those who come to God through him, always living to intercede for them. ^{26 (2:9)} For such a chief priest also was suitable for us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens, ²⁷ who has no need daily as the chief priests first to present sacrifices for their sins, then for those of the people; for this he did once for all, having offered himself.

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who with an eternal spirit offered himself without fault to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

^{23 (3:7)} It was necessary, therefore, that the symbols of things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

²⁶ since it was necessary that it should suffer often from the foundation of the world, but now once at the consummation of the world he has been manifested to destroy sins by the sacrifice of himself.

¹⁰ by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.

¹⁰ by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all. ^{11 (3:9)} And every priest stood daily performing service and presenting often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; ¹² but this [priest] having offered one sacrifice forever for sins, sat down on the right hand of God,

²² let us approach with a true heart in a full assurance of faith, sprinkled in heart from an evil conscience, and washed in body with pure water,

³³ who by faith subdued kingdoms, performed righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

⁹ Moreover, we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us and we respected them; shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?

¹⁶ that no one may be a fornicator or unholy person like Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright.

²² but you have come to Zion, the mountain and city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels in general assembly, ²³ and to the church of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge the God of all, and to spirits of the righteous made perfect, ²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to a sprinkled blood which speaks better than Abel. ^{25 (5:3)} See that you refuse not him that speaks; for if they did not escape who refused him that gave answers on earth, much more shall we [not escape] who turn ourselves away from him in heaven;

²⁸ Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace through which we may serve God acceptably, with piety and fear;

⁴ Marriage is honorable in all, and married life without blame; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

⁴ Marriage is honorable in all, and married life without blame; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. ⁵ Let your life be without avarice, and be contented with what you have; for he said, I will never leave you, I will never forsake you;

¹⁵ Through him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of lips confessing his name.

^{17 (5:7)} Obey your guides and be in subjection; for they watch for your souls as having to give an account, that they may do this with joy and not with grief; for this is unprofitable for you.

¹⁸ Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruit of his creatures.

⁴ behold also the ships, though of so great size and driven by powerful winds, are directed by a very small helm wherever the will of the pilot chooses; ⁵ so also the tongue is a small member and boasts of great things. Behold, how much wood a little fire kindles! ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, the tongue is made a world of wickedness among our members, it defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of nature and is set on fire by hell. ⁷ For every kind of beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fishes, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race, ⁸ but the tongue can no man tame; it is a disorderly evil, full of a deadly poison.

^{13 (2:2)} What wise and intelligent man is there among you? Let him show his works by good conduct, in the meekness of wisdom.

^{13 (2:9)} If any one among you is afflicted, let him pray; if any one is happy, let him sing psalms;

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace and peace be multiplied to you.

¹⁵ but as he that called you is holy be you also holy in all [your] conduct, ¹⁶ because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy.

¹⁸ knowing that you were not redeemed from your vain mode of life received by tradition from your fathers, with destructible things, silver or gold, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish, and without a spot;

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish, and without a spot; ²⁰ who was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but made manifest in these last times for you, ²¹ who through him believed in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope may be in God. ^{22 (1:4)} Having purified your souls by obeying the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another fervently, from the heart,

^{22 (1:4)} Having purified your souls by obeying the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another fervently, from the heart, ²³ having been born again, not from destructible seed but from indestructible, through the word of God which lives and endures.

⁵ do you also yourselves be built up living stones, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices well pleasing to God through Jesus Christ,

⁸ and a stone of stumbling and rock of offense, who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed. ⁹ But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should declare the virtues of him who called you out of darkness into his glorious light; ¹⁰ who formerly were not a people, but now are a people of God, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. ^{11 (2:1)} BELOVED, I exhort you as strangers and foreigners, abstain from carnal desires, which war against the soul,

^{13 (2:2)} Be subject therefore to every human government, for the Lord's sake, whether to the king, as superior,

¹⁷ Honor all men, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.

²⁰ For what glory is it if when you sin and are punished you bear it patiently? But if you do well and suffer and bear it patiently, [this deserves thanks], for it is acceptable to God. ²¹ For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you a copy that you should follow his steps, ²² who committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth, ²³ who being reviled reviled not, suffering threatened not, but committed himself to him that judges righteously, ²⁴ who himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, that we having died to sins, may live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

²⁴ who himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, that we having died to sins, may live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. ²⁵ For you were like lost sheep, but are now returned to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.

^{1 (2:4)} In like manner let the women be subject to their husbands, that even if some disobey the word, they may be gained through the conduct of their wives without the word, ² seeing your pure mode of life in the fear [of God].

² seeing your pure mode of life in the fear [of God]. ³ Whose ornament let it not be the external [ornament] of braided hair and the putting on of chains of gold or of clothing,

³ Whose ornament let it not be the external [ornament] of braided hair and the putting on of chains of gold or of clothing, ⁴ but let the hidden man of the heart be adorned with the imperishable [ornaments] of a meek and quiet spirit, which are of great price before God.

⁴ but let the hidden man of the heart be adorned with the imperishable [ornaments] of a meek and quiet spirit, which are of great price before God. ⁵ For so formerly also the holy women who hoped in God adorned themselves, being subject to their husbands,

⁵ For so formerly also the holy women who hoped in God adorned themselves, being subject to their husbands, ⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord, whose children you are, doing good and having no fear.

⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord, whose children you are, doing good and having no fear. ⁷ In like manner let the husbands [do], living together in knowledge with the wife as with a vessel of less strength, deeming them precious, co-heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

⁷ In like manner let the husbands [do], living together in knowledge with the wife as with a vessel of less strength, deeming them precious, co-heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

²¹ The archetype of which, baptism, also now saves us, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience in God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

² that you may no longer live the rest of your time in the flesh according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God. ³ For the time past is sufficient for us to have performed the will of the gentiles, walking in lewdness, inordinate desires, drunkenness, revellings, drinkings and unlawful idolatries,

³ For the time past is sufficient for us to have performed the will of the gentiles, walking in lewdness, inordinate desires, drunkenness, revellings, drinkings and unlawful idolatries, ⁴ in which they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excessive intemperance, blaspheming,

⁸ above all things have fervent love one for another, for love hides a multitude of sins.

¹¹ If any one speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God, if any one serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the power for ever and ever; amen.

² feed the flock of God which is among you, not by constraint but willingly, not for base gain but of a ready mind,

^{5 (3:3)} Let the younger in like manner be subject to the elder, and do you all be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility; for God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

³ and with covetousness they will make a gain of you with feigned words, whose judgment a long time lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.

⁷ and delivered righteous Lot, vexed by the lewd conduct of the wicked;—

¹⁰ but especially those who walk after the flesh, in corrupt desires, and despise goverment. Presumptuous, self-complacent, they fear not to revile glories,

¹⁴ having eyes full of an adulteress, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousness, cursed children,

¹⁸ For speaking extravagant words of vanity, they entice with carnal desires of lewdness those scarcely escaped from them, those living in error,

^{14 (2:4)} Wherefore, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent that you may be found in him without a spot and blemish, in peace,

⁷ but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁸ Again, a new commandment I write you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is past and the true light now appears. ⁹ He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness till now. ¹⁰ He that loves his brother continues in the light, and there is no offense in him; ¹¹ but he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does righteousness has been born of him.

^{1 (1:9)} See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God. The world therefore knows us not, because it knew him not. ^{2 (1:10)} Beloved, now are we children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be. We know, that if he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

⁹ No one that has been born of God commits sin, for his seed continues in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. ¹⁰ By this are the children of God manifest, and the children of the devil; no one that does not righteousness is of God, and no one that loves not his brother. ¹¹ For this is the message which you heard from the beginning; that we should love one another; ¹² not as Cain was of the evil one and killed his brother; and why did he kill him? because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
