⁸ Concerning this, I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. ⁹ But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore I am well pleased in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

¹³ I can do all things through Christ strengthening me.

⁷ And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia write, These things saith the Holy, the True One, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and none shutteth, and shutteth and none openeth.

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee, from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

¹⁵ I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: O that thou wert cold or hot!

⁷ Behold, I come quickly: happy is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

³⁷ But Paul said to them, They have beaten us publickly, uncondemned, and have cast us into prison, who are Romans: and do they now thrust us out privately? Nay verily: but let them come themselves and conduct us out. ³⁸ And the serjeants reported these words to the pretors; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans. ³⁹ And they came and comforted them; and conducting them out, requested that they would depart from the city.

¹³ Wherefore take to you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

¹² Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries, or a vine figs? So can no fountain yield salt water and fresh.

¹² Beloved, wonder not at the burning which is among you, which is for your trial, as if some strange thing befell you: But as ye partake of the sufferings of Christ,

⁹ The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unrighteous to the day of judgment to be punished.

⁹ I John, your brother and companion in the affliction, and in the kingdom, and patience of Jesus, was in the island Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.

¹² Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

²⁵ And every one that contendeth, is temperate in all things: and they indeed, to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

⁵ Let your gentleness be known to all men; the Lord is at hand.

⁵ And if a man strive, he is not crowned, unless he strive lawfully.

⁸ Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous judge will render me in that day, and not to me only, but to all them likewise that have loved his appearing.

¹² Behold I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to every one as his work shall be.

²⁰ He that testifieth these things saith, Yea, I come quickly. Amen: Come, Lord Jesus!

⁹ ) And when James, and Cephas, and John, who undoubtedly were pillars, knew the grace that was given to me, they gave the right-hands of fellowships to me and Barnabas, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision: Only they desired that we would be mindful of the poor,

²⁶ But Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all. ²⁷ (For it is written, Rejoice thou barren, that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for the desolate hath many more children than she that hath an husband.

¹⁵ (Of whom the whole

²² But ye are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father. ¹⁴ I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

⁴ Ye are of God, beloved children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

¹⁷ He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh will I give of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which none knoweth, but he that receiveth it.

¹ And I saw and behold a Lamb standing on mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.

¹⁴ These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

² And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride, adorned for her husband.

¹⁰ And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, ¹¹ Having the glory of God: her window was like the most precious stone, like a jasper stone, ¹² clear as crystal, Having a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and the names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates, ¹³ and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. ¹⁴ And the walls of the city had twelve foundations, and upon them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he that talked with me had a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the walls thereof. ¹⁶ And the city lyeth four-square, and the length is as large as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed twelve thousand furlongs: the length, and the breadth, and the height of it, are equal. ¹⁷ And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred forty-four reeds, the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. ¹⁸ And the building of the wall thereof was jasper, and the city was of pure gold, like clear glass. ¹⁹ And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was a jasper, the second a sapphire, ²⁰ the third a chalcedony, the fourth an emerald, The fifth a sardonyx, the sixth a sardius, the seventh a chrysolite, the eighth a beryl, the ninth a topaz, the tenth a chrysophrase, the eleventh a jacinth, the twelfth an amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass. ²² And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. ²³ And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine on it; for the glory of God hath inlightened it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof. ²⁴ And the nations shall walk by the light thereof; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it. ²⁵ And the gates of it shall not be shut by day: and there shall be no night there. ²⁶ And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it. ²⁷ But there shall in no wise enter into it any thing common, or that worketh abomination, or maketh a lie, but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

⁴ And shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads.

²⁰ For all the promises of God are yea in him, and amen in him, to the glory of God by us.

¹⁵ Who is the image of the invisible God, the first begotten of every creature.

¹⁸ who is the beginning, the first-begotten from the dead, that in all things he might have the pre-eminence.

¹ For I would have you know, how great a conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh:

¹⁶ And when this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

⁶ And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsteth of the fountain of the water of life freely.

⁶ And he said to me, These sayings are faithful and true: the Lord the God of the holy prophets hath sent his angel, to shew his servants the things which must be done shortly.

¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

²⁴ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will cleave to the one and neglect the other.

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me, and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me;

¹² And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

²⁷ And whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. ²⁸ And which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and computeth the cost, whether he hath sufficient to finish it?

¹¹ Not slothful in business, servent in spirit, serving the Lord:

²² The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

²⁰ For I fear lest when I come, I should not find you such as I would, and lest I should be found by you such as ye would not: lest there should be contentions, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults, Lest my God should humble me when I come to you again,

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more, in all knowledge and in all spiritual sense,

³ We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth.

⁸ A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

²² Having purified your souls by obeying the truth thro' the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another with a pure heart fervently:

³ saying, Happy are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹² But Jesus hearing it, said to them, They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

⁵³ He hath filled the hungry with good things, but sent the rich empty away.

²⁴ But wo to you that are rich; for ye have your consolation.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed thus, God I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. ¹² I fast twice in the week: I give tythes of all that I possess.

⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees that were with him heard this, and said to him, Are we blind also? ⁴¹ Jesus said to them, If ye had been blind, ye would have had no sin. But now ye say, We see: therefore your sin remaineth.

¹⁷ Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, ¹⁸ and gloriest in God, And knowest his will, and discernest the things that differ, being instructed out of the law: ¹⁹ And art confident, that thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness, An instructer of the ignorant, ²⁰ a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law. ²¹ Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that proclaimest, a man should not steal, dost thou steal? ²² Thou that sayst, a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? ²³ Thou that gloriest in the law, dost thou by transgressing the law dishonour God?

²⁴ Wretched man that I am!

²⁰ Well; they were broken off for unbelief, and thou standest by faith.

²⁵ Brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, (lest ye should be wise in your own conceits) that hardness is in part happened to Israel, till the fulness of the Gentiles be come in:

³ And I say, through the grace which is given to me, to every one that is among you, not to think of himself above what he ought to think, but to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God hath distributed to every one.

⁸ Now ye are full: now ye are rich: ye have reigned as kings without us. And I would ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. ⁹ For I think God hath set forth us the apostles last, as appointed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. ¹⁰ We are fools for Christ's sake; but ye are wise in Christ: we are weak; but ye are strong: ye are honourable; but we are despised.

⁹ But he that wanteth these is blind, not able to see afar off, having forgotten the purification from his old sins.

⁴⁴ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field, which a man having found hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

⁹ But the wise answered, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

²¹ So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

⁶ he spit on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, ⁷ And said to him, Go wash at the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went therefore, and washed, and came seeing. ⁸ Then the neighbours and they who had seen him before, when he was blind, said, Is not this he who used to sit begging? ⁹ Some said, This is he: others, He is like him: but he said, I am he. ¹⁰ They said to him, How were thine eyes opened? ¹¹ He answered and said, A man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.

¹² wood, hay, stubble, Every one's work shall be made manifest; ¹³ for the day shall declare it: for it is revealed by fire; yea the fire shall try every one's work, of what sort it is.

³ If being clothed, we shall not be found naked.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

¹⁸ To do good, to be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate,

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he hath promised to them that love him?

⁷ That the trial of your faith, which is much more precious than gold, (that perisheth, tho' it be tried with fire) may be found unto praise, and honour, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

²⁰ But ye have an anointing from the Holy one, and know all things. ²¹ I have not written to you, because ye know not the truth; but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. ²² Who is that liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is Antichrist who denieth the Father and the Son. ²³ Whosoever denieth the Son, he hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son, hath the Father also. ²⁴ Therefore let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning: if that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is the promise which he hath promised us, eternal life. ²⁶ These things have I written to you, concerning them that seduce you. ²⁷ But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any should teach you, save as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie; and as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in them.

⁴ Yet thou hast a few names in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: they are worthy. ⁵ He that overcometh, he shall be cloathed in white raiment, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name, before my Father and before his angels.

¹⁷ Because thou sayst, I am rich, and have inriched myself, and have need of nothing, and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these that are cloathed in white robes? and whence are they come? And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest.

¹⁷ And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

³² But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

⁹ as dying, yet behold we live; as chastened, yet not killed;

¹¹ For behold, this very thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly manner, what diligence it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge? In all things ye have approved yourselves to be pure in this matter.

¹⁸ Now it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only while I am present with you.

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

⁵ And yet ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh to you as to sons, My son, despise not thou the chastning of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him. ⁶ For whom the Lord loveth, he chastneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. ⁷ If ye endure chastning, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he, whom his father chastneth not? ⁸ But if ye are without chastning, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons. ⁹ Moreover we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we reverenced them: Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? ¹⁰ For they, verily, for a few days chastned us as they thought good: but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. ¹¹ Now all chastning for the present is assuredly not joyous, but grievous; yet afterwards it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them that are exercised thereby.

³³ So likewise when ye see all these things, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

³⁶ and your lamps burning, And be like men that wait for their Lord, when he will return from the wedding, that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. ³⁷ Happy are those servants, whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to table, and will come forth and serve them.

⁸ And will not rather say to him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

²¹ He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas (not Iscariot) saith to him, Lord, how is it, that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.

⁹ And he saith to me, Write: Happy are they who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me, These are the true sayings of God.

²⁸ Jesus said to them, Verily I say to you, that ye who have followed me, in the renovation, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁸ And Jesus came and spake to them, saying, All power is given me in heaven and in earth.

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

²² For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath given all judgment to the Son: ²³ That all men may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent him.

³³ I have spoken these things to you, that ye may have peace in me. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but take courage: I have overcome the world.

² Know ye not, that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³ Know ye not, that we shall judge angels?

²⁰ Which he wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead; and he hath made him sit at his own right-hand in heavenly places, ²¹ Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. ²² And he hath put all things under his feet, and hath given him to be head over all things to the church, ²³ Which is his body; who is the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

⁹ Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above every name, ¹⁰ That at the name of Jesus every knee might bow, of those in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth: ¹¹ And every tongue might confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord in the glory of God the Father. ¹² Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. ¹³ For it is God that worketh in you according to his good pleasure, both to will and to do. ¹⁴ Do all things without murmurings and disputings: ¹⁵ That ye may be blameless and simple, the sons of God, unrebukable, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world, ¹⁶ Holding fast the word of life, that I may glory in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. ¹⁷ Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all. ¹⁸ For the same cause joy ye likewise, and rejoice with me. ¹⁹ Now I trust in the Lord Jesus, to send Timotheus to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged, when I know your state. ²⁰ For I have none like-minded, who will naturally care for what concerneth you. ²¹ For all seek their own, not the things of Christ.

¹² If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:

⁴ For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶ To him that loved us, and hath washed us from our sins with his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto his God and Father, to him be the glory and the might for ever.

²⁶ And he that overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations. ²⁷ (And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken in pieces) as I also have received from my Father.

⁵ behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book and the seals thereof. ⁶ And I beheld in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as if he had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth. ⁷ And he came and took the book out of the right-hand of him that sat upon the throne. ⁸ And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one an harp, and golden phials full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

² And I saw, and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer.

¹⁷ For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, and will lead them to living fountains of water: and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them; and I saw the souls of them who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the wild beast nor his image, neither had received the mark on their forehead or on their hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

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

⁶ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

¹³ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith to the churches.
