2 Timothy 3 Cross References - Worsley

¹ But this know, that in the last days there will be difficult times; ² for men will be selfish, covetous, arrogant, proud, blasphemers, undutiful to parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ without natural affection, perfidious, false accusers, intemperate, savage, enemies to the good, traitors, ⁴ headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, ⁵ having a form of godliness, but strangers to the power of it: from such turn away. ⁶ For of these are they who insinuate themselves into families, and captivate weak women, that are laden with sins, ⁷ and led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁸ And as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; being men of corrupt minds, and of no judgement in the faith. ⁹ But they shall not proceed far: for their folly shall be evident to all, as theirs also was. ¹⁰ But thou art well acquainted with my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience, persecutions, ¹¹ sufferings, which befel me at Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all. ¹² And indeed all, that are desirous to live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution. ¹³ But wicked men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. ¹⁴ But continue thou in the things which thou hast learnt, and been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them; ¹⁵ and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus: for all scripture is by inspiration from God, ¹⁶ and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; ¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly fitted for every good work.

¹ Then was Jesus led by the spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil:

¹⁰ Blessed are they, who are persecuted for righteousness sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when men shall revile and persecute you, and utter all manner of reproach against you falsly, for my sake: ¹² rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great will be your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets, that were before you.

¹⁵ And beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

²¹ Brother shall betray his brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death: ²² and ye shall be hated by all men for professing my name; but he that perseveres to the end shall certainly be saved. ²³ But when they persecute you in one city, flee into another: for verily I tell you, ye shall not finish your commission through the cities of Israel, before the Son of man shall come. ²⁴ The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord: ²⁵ it is sufficient sure for the disciple that he be treated as his master, and the servant as his lord. If then they call the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?

²⁸ Come unto me therefore all ye who are labouring and oppressed, and I will give you ease.

¹¹ And He answered them, saying, Because it is granted unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not granted:

⁵² Therefore every teacher, who has been thus instructed in the knowledge of the kingdom of heaven, is like a master of a family, who brings forth out of his store things new and old.

⁶ and so honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. And thus have ye made void the commandment of God by your tradition.

²⁴ Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any one is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me:

⁴² Then saith Jesus to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, "The stone which the builders refused, is made the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"

²⁹ But Jesus answered them, Ye are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God:

³¹ But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what is spoken to you by God, ³² saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

⁴³ He saith unto them, How then does David by inspiration call Him Lord,

¹³ But wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, who shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, nor suffer those that are entering to go in.

²⁷ Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; who are like whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful without, but within are full of the bones of the dead, and all manner of filthiness; ²⁸ so do ye likewise outwardly appear to men to be righteous, but within are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

³⁴ For behold I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

⁵⁴ but how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, which say that thus it must be?

⁵⁶ that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.

¹⁹ but the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and inordinate desires after other things entering in choke the word, and so it becometh unfruitful.

¹¹ but ye say, If a man tell his father or mother, That which thou mightest be profited by from me is Corban, (that is, a gift to the temple) it sufficeth: ¹² and so ye allow him to do nothing more for his father or his mother:

³⁰ or lands for my sake and the gospel's, but he shall receive an hundred-fold: now in this time indeed, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands with persecutions; but in the world to come life everlasting.

²⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?

³⁶ for David himself said by the holy Spirit, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

³ it seemed good to me also, having thoroughly traced them all from the very first, to write an account of them in order to thee,

¹⁵ and he shall drink neither wine nor any other strong liquor; and he shall be filled with the holy Spirit even from his birth;

⁴⁰ And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

¹⁶ ---He, that heareth you, heareth me; and he, that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; and he, that rejecteth me, rejecteth Him that sent me.

¹⁵ And He said unto them, See to it that ye beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of his possessions.

²⁶ so he turned and said to them, If any man come to me, and does not comparatively hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple. ²⁷ And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and follow me, cannot be my disciple.

¹⁴ And the pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and derided Him.

²⁷ And beginning from Moses, and all the prophets, He explained to them in all the scriptures the things that were spoken concerning Himself.

³² And He disappeared from them. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, as He was talking with us by the way, and while He was opening to us the scriptures?

⁴⁵ Then He opened their mind, to understand the scriptures:

²⁰ For every one that doth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, least his deeds should be reproved.

²⁰ For every one that doth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, least his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that acts according to truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

³⁹ Ye search the scriptures; for ye think that in them ye have eternal life: ⁴⁰ and they testify of me: and yet ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.

⁴⁴ How can ye believe, who receive applause from each other, and the glory which is from God only, ye seek not?

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

³⁵ And if it stiled them gods, to whom the word of God came, (and the scripture cannot be made void,)

⁴² There were however many of the chief rulers that believed on Him; but because of the pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be excommunicated. ⁴³ For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember what I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have observed my word, they will also observe yours. ²¹ But all these things will they do unto you, on my account, because they know not Him that sent me.

² for they will excommunicate you: yea, the time is coming, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he offers an acceptable service to God.

³³ These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have trouble: but be of good courage, I have overcome the world.

¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁶ and said, Men and brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the holy Ghost spake by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus:

⁴² And they continued stedfast in the apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

³⁶ For some time ago one Theudas arose, pretending to be some extraordinary person, to whom was joined a number of men, about four hundred: who was slain, and all that followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.

²¹ Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if so be the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee:

¹⁶ for I will shew him how great sufferings he must endure for my name.

²³ And after a considerable time, the Jews conspired to kill him: ²⁴ but Saul was apprised of their design. And they watched the gates day and night, to make away with him: ²⁵ but the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall, in a basket.

³⁶ And there was at Joppa a certain female disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called in Greek Dorcas: and she was full of good works and alms-deeds.

⁴³ To Him do all the prophets bear witness, that whosoever believeth on Him shall receive the forgiveness of their sins through his name.

²³ Who, when he was come, and saw the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted them all with steadiness of heart to adhere to the Lord.

⁸ But Elymas the magician (for so his name signifies) withstood them endeavouring to turn away the proconsul from the faith. ⁹ Then Saul, who also is called Paul, being filled with the holy Spirit, and looking earnestly at him, ¹⁰ said, O thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, who art full of all deceit and craft, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? ¹¹ And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing even the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and groping about he sought for somebody to lead him by the hand.

¹¹ And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing even the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and groping about he sought for somebody to lead him by the hand.

¹⁴ And they passing on from Perga came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and sat down.

²⁹ And when they had finished all things that were written concerning Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb.

³⁸ Be it known therefore unto you, brethren, that through Him is preached unto you the remission of sins: ³⁹ and by Him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, opposing and reviling him.

⁵⁰ but the Jews stirred up devout and honorable women, and the heads of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their territories. ⁵¹ But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

¹ And at Iconium they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great number both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed. ² But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and inflamed the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

⁵ but when there was an effort both of the Gentiles and of the Jews, together with their rulers, to offer violence to them, and to stone them; ⁶ being apprised of it they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the adjacent country:

¹⁹ But there came thither some Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and persuading the multitude, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. ²⁰ But when the disciples were gathered round him, he rose up and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. ²¹ And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch; ²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and telling them that through many afflictions we must enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁴ Forasmuch as we have heard, that some who went out from us, have troubled you by their discourses, unsettling your minds, saying, ye must be circumcised, and keep the law; to whom we gave no such commission;

² And according to his custom Paul went in among them, and for three sabbath-days discoursed to them from the scriptures;

³¹ Because He hath fixed a day, in which He will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom He hath appointed thereto; having given assurance of it to all men, by raising Him from the dead.

²⁵ Who had been instructed in the way of our Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught clearly the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John.

¹⁵ But the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are ye? ¹⁶ And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leapt upon them, and mastered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. ¹⁷ And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

¹⁸ And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know in what manner I behaved among you all the time, from the first day that I came into Asia. ¹⁹ Serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and trials which befel me by the ambushes of the Jews. ²⁰ And how I with-held nothing that was useful, but have declared it to you, and have taught you publicly and from house to house:

²³ save that the holy Spirit testifieth in every city, that bonds and afflictions await me. ²⁴ But none of these things move me, nor do I account my life dear, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

²⁷ For I have not failed to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

³² who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the chiliarch and the soldiers, they left off beating Paul. ³³ Then the commanding officer came near and took him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and inquired, who he was, and what he had done.

¹⁰ But as there arose much contention, the tribune fearing least Paul should be torn in pieces by them, ordered a party of soldiers to go down, and take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring him into the castle.

¹² And when it was day, some of the Jews, having formed a conspiracy, bound themselves with a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. ¹³ And they were more than forty that had made this oath: ¹⁴ who came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves by a curse to eat nothing till we have killed Paul. ¹⁵ Now therefore do ye with the rest of the sanhedrim signify to the tribune, that he would bring him down to you to-morrow, as if you would examine more accurately some things concerning him: and we are ready to dispatch him before he come near you." ¹⁶ But Paul's sister's son, hearing of the ambush, came and entered into the castle, and told Paul. ¹⁷ Then Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said, Introduce this young man to the tribune; for he hath something to tell him. ¹⁸ So he took him and brought him to the tribune, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to him, and desired me to introduce this young man unto thee, as having something to say to thee. ¹⁹ And the tribune took him by the hand, and retiring into a private apartment asked him, What is it which thou hast to tell me? ²⁰ And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldest bring down Paul to-morrow to the council, as if they would inquire something more strictly concerning him. ²¹ But do not thou comply with them: for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves with a curse neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him: and they are now ready, waiting for an order from thee. ²² Then the tribune dismissed the young man, charging him, Tell no one that thou hast discovered these things to me. ²³ And he called two of the centurions to him, and said, Get ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, by the third hour of the night. ²⁴ And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on and bring him safe to Felix the governor.

³ begging the favor of him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; for they were preparing an ambush to kill him by the way. ⁴ But Festus answered, that Paul was in custody at Cesarea, and that he himself should go thither soon.

⁴ My manner of life then from my youth, as it has been from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews are acquainted with,

¹⁷ delivering thee from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I now send thee,

²² But having obtained help of God, I continue until this day, testifying both to small and great, and saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses declared should come to pass; even that the Messiah should suffer,

²⁵ And so disagreeing one with another they separated, when Paul had said one word, to wit, that the holy Spirit spake rightly by Esaias the prophet to our fathers,

² separated unto the gospel of God, (which He had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures) concerning his Son,

²⁸ And as they were not careful to acknowledge God, God gave them up to an undiscerning mind to do things that were not fit to be done: ²⁹ being filled with all injustice, lewdness, wickedness, covetousness, malignity; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and every evil habit; whisperers, ³⁰ slanderers, haters of God, injurious, haughty, proud, inventers of mischief, undutiful to parents, void of understanding, ³¹ covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, and unmerciful:

³¹ covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, and unmerciful:

²⁰ a light to them that are in the darkness, an instructor of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth which is in the law.

²⁰ a light to them that are in the darkness, an instructor of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth which is in the law. ²¹ Thou then, who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou, that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? ²² Thou, that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou, that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? ²³ Thou, that boastest in the law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God? ²⁴ for through you the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.

² Much, every way: chiefly, because they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

²³ Now it was not written on his account only, that it was imputed to him:

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ (as it is written, "for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter:") ³⁷ but in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

¹⁸ and if thou boastest, remember thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

²⁰ Well; they were broken off for their infidelity, and thou standest by faith: therefore be not high-minded but fear.

⁵ One preferreth some days to others; another esteemeth every day alike. Let every one be fully satisfied in his own mind.

¹ Now we that are strong, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves: ² but let every one of us please our neighbor for his good, to his edification. ³ For Christ also pleased not himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me." ⁴ For whatever things were written heretofore, were written for our instruction; that we through patience and the consolation of the scriptures might have hope.

¹⁷ Now I exhort you, brethren, to mark those who cause divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned:

¹⁷ Now I exhort you, brethren, to mark those who cause divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned: ¹⁸ and avoid them; for such people serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by a soothing address and good words deceive the hearts of the innocent.

¹⁸ and avoid them; for such people serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by a soothing address and good words deceive the hearts of the innocent.

²⁶ but is now manifested, and made known to all nations by the writings of the prophets, according to the appointment of the eternal God,

¹ And I, my brethren, could not speak to you, as to spiritual persons, but as to carnal ones, even as to babes in Christ. ² I have fed you with milk, and not with meat; for ye were not hitherto able to bear it, nor yet are ye even now able. ³ Because ye are still carnal: for while there is among you envy and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk as men? ⁴ For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?

⁹ For it seems to me that God hath as it were exhibited us the apostles last upon the stage as appointed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the world, and 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 honoured, but we are despised. ¹¹ Even to this present time we suffer both hunger, and thirst, and nakedness, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling:

⁵ Do not withdraw from one another, unless by consent for a season, that ye may attend to fasting and prayer: and come together again, least Satan tempt you through your incontinency.

⁹ But if they have not the gift of continence, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with lust.

² Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn aside after dumb idols, just as ye were led: wherefore,

⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the advantage of all.

³ For in the first place I delivered to you, that which I also received, to wit, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures: ⁴ and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day, according to the scriptures.

¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

⁸ For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befel us in Asia, that we were exceedingly pressed above our strength, so that we despaired even of life: ⁹ but we had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead: ¹⁰ who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver, in whom we trust that He will yet deliver us:

¹² For this is our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and pious sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and especially towards you.

¹⁷ Now when I intended this, was I chargeable with levity? or what I purpose, do I purpose from carnal motives, that with me there should be yea, yea, and then no, no?

⁸ being afflicted on every side, but not oppressed; perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; ¹⁰ cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be manifested in our body. ¹¹ For we, who are yet living, are always exposed to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

¹⁵ And He died for all, that those who live might no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them and rose again.

⁴ but in every thing approving ourselves as the ministers of God; by much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits, ⁵ in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings; ⁶ by purity, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the holy Spirit, ⁷ by love unfeigned, by the word of truth, by the power of God, with the armour of righteousness on the right and on the left; through honor and dishonor, ⁸ through evil report and good report; ⁹ as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, but not put to death; ¹⁰ as sorrowing, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing all things.

⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound towards you; that having always all sufficiency in every thing, ye may abound in every good work:

¹³ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transformed into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder: for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. ¹⁵ It is therefore no great thing, if his ministers also be transformed into ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

²³ so am I: are they ministers of Christ? (if I may speak as a fool) I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes far exceeding, in prisons more frequently, and often even in deaths. ²⁴ From the Jews I have five times received forty stripes save one. ²⁵ Thrice I have been beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I have been shipwrecked, and was a night and a day on the deep: ²⁶ in journies often, in perils from rivers, in perils from robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the desert, in perils on the sea, in perils among false brethren: ²⁷ in labor and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness: and beside these outward troubles, ²⁸ that which besets me daily, the care of all the churches.

⁵ Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove yourselves: do ye not know yourselves to be such that Jesus Christ is in you? unless ye are reprovable. ⁶ But I hope ye will soon know that we are not disapproved.

⁷ but there be some that disturb you, and would subvert the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But tho' we or an angel from heaven should preach to you any other gospel than what we have preached to you; let him be accursed. ⁹ I say it again, if any one preach to you any other gospel than what ye have received, let him be accursed.

⁴ and that because of the false brethren clandestinely introduced, who had crept in as spies upon our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: ⁵ to whom we yielded no submission, not even for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

⁸ And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles through faith, preached the gospel to Abraham long ago, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

¹⁰ created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God before prepared us, that we might walk in them.

¹¹ And therefore He gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers; to qualify holy men for the work of the ministry, ¹² to the edifying of the body of Christ: ¹³ till we all arrive in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, at perfect maturity, even to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. ¹⁴ That we may be no longer children fluctuating and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the artful insinuations of men, and their crafty methods of deceiving;

¹⁴ That we may be no longer children fluctuating and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the artful insinuations of men, and their crafty methods of deceiving; ¹⁵ but holding the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him, who is the head, even Christ: ¹⁶ from whom the whole body being fitly joined together and compacted by the aid of every joint, according to the operation proportioned to every part, maketh an increase to the edification of itself in love.

¹¹ And have no communion with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. ¹² For it is a shame even to relate the things that are done by them in secret. ¹³ But all things to be reproved: are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest, is light.

²¹ For all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. ²² But ye know the proof I have had of him, that as son with a father he served with me in the gospel.

¹⁸ (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, ¹⁹ whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things) For our conversation is in heaven,

² that their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all the riches of a full assurance of understanding in these things, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of our God and Father, and of Christ:

⁵ Mortify therefore your members that are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, disorderly passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is indeed idolatry:

⁵ For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the holy Ghost, and in much certainty; as ye know what sort of persons we were among you for your sakes.

¹³ For this also we thank God continually, that when ye received the word of God, which ye heard from us, ye received it not as the word of men, but (as it is in truth) the word of God, which also worketh effectually in you that believe.

³ that no one might be shaken by these afflictions: for ye yourselves know that we are appointed hereunto. ⁴ For when we were with you, we told you before that we should be afflicted, as it came to pass, and ye know.

⁸ He therefore who rejecteth us, rejecteth not man, but God; who hath given us his holy Spirit.

³ Let not any one deceive you by any means; for it shall not come till there come an apostasy first, and the man of sin be revealed, ⁴ the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or the object of worship; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

⁴ the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or the object of worship; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. ⁵ Do ye not remember, that when I was with you, I told you these things? ⁶ And ye know what now hindereth him from being revealed in his own time.

⁶ And ye know what now hindereth him from being revealed in his own time. ⁷ For the mystery of iniquity is already working, only there is one that hindreth till he be taken out of the way.

⁷ For the mystery of iniquity is already working, only there is one that hindreth till he be taken out of the way. ⁸ And then the wicked one shall be detected, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth, and abolish by the brightness of his coming:

⁸ And then the wicked one shall be detected, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth, and abolish by the brightness of his coming: ⁹ who comes, through the efficacy of Satan, with all kind of lying power, and signs,

⁹ who comes, through the efficacy of Satan, with all kind of lying power, and signs, ¹⁰ and wonders, and with all iniquitous fraud, among those that shall perish; because they received not the love of the truth, by which they might be saved.

¹⁰ and wonders, and with all iniquitous fraud, among those that shall perish; because they received not the love of the truth, by which they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this cause God will send upon them the efficacy of error, so that they shall themselves believe the lie:

¹¹ And for this cause God will send upon them the efficacy of error, so that they shall themselves believe the lie: ¹² that they may all be condemned, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in iniquity.

⁶ Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother who walketh disorderly, and not according to the instruction which he received from us.

¹⁴ by this epistle, mark such a one, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.

³ As I exhorted thee to stay at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,

¹⁹ having faith and a good conscience, which some putting away have made shipwreck concerning the faith: ²⁰ of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

² particularly for kings, and all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and virtue.

⁴ who is willing that all men should be saved, and therefore come to the knowledge of the truth.

³ hospitable, able to teach, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of sordid gain, moderate, not quarrelsome,

⁶ not one newly converted, least being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

¹¹ And their wives likewise grave, not slanderers, sober, and faithful in all things.

¹⁶ And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

¹ Now the Spirit expressly saith, that in latter times some shall apostatize from the faith, attending to seducing spirits,

¹ Now the Spirit expressly saith, that in latter times some shall apostatize from the faith, attending to seducing spirits, ² and doctrines of demons founded in the hypocrisy of liars, who are seared in their own conscience, forbidding to marry,

² and doctrines of demons founded in the hypocrisy of liars, who are seared in their own conscience, forbidding to marry, ³ and enjoining abstinence from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by those that believe and know the truth.

⁶ If thou lay these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, as one brought up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which thou hast attained.

¹² Let no one have cause to despise thy youth; but he thou an example to believers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. ¹³ Till I come attend to reading, to exhortation, and teaching.

¹⁶ Take heed to thyself, and to thy doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this, thou wilt both save thyself and those that hear thee.

⁶ But she that indulgeth to luxury, is dead while she liveth.

⁸ But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own family, he hath renounced the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

³ These things teach and exhort. If any one teach otherwise, and adhere not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness; ⁴ he is proud, knowing nothing, but is delirious about questions and strifes of words: from which cometh envy, contention, calumnies, wicked suspicions, perverse debates of men corrupted in mind, ⁵ and void of truth, accounting gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

⁹ But they, that will be rich, fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into ruin and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is the root of all evils, which some coveting after have been led astray from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. ¹¹ But do thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, piety, fidelity, love, patience, meekness.

¹⁷ Charge them, that are rich in this world, not to be high-minded nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who richly affords us all things for enjoyment: charge them to do good,

⁵ keeping in memory the unfeigned faith, that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice: and I am persuaded that it dwells in thee also;

¹³ Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

² and the things which thou hast heard from me, before many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

¹⁶ But avoid prophane empty harangues; for they will proceed to more impiety,

¹⁶ But avoid prophane empty harangues; for they will proceed to more impiety, ¹⁷ and their discourse will eat like a gangrene. Of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus; who have erred from the truth,

²¹ If therefore any one purify himself from these corruptions, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified and fitted for the Master's use, being prepared for every good work. ²² Flee youthful passions: and follow righteousness, fidelity, love, and peace, with all those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart: ²³ but foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they produce quarrels; for the servant of the Lord ought not to wrangle,

²⁵ with meekness instructing those of different sentiments, not knowing but God may give them repentance to the acknowledgement of the truth;

⁴ headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

⁸ And as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; being men of corrupt minds, and of no judgement in the faith.

¹⁵ and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus: for all scripture is by inspiration from God, ¹⁶ and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; ¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly fitted for every good work.

² preach the word, be instant both in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and instruction. ³ For the time will come, when they will not bear sound doctrine; but having itching ears, will heap up to themselves teachers after their own hearts:

³ For the time will come, when they will not bear sound doctrine; but having itching ears, will heap up to themselves teachers after their own hearts: ⁴ and turn away their attention from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished my race, I have kept the faith.

¹⁵ Of whom do thou also beware: for he hath greatly opposed our doctrine.

¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that by me the gospel might be fully spread, and that all the nations might hear: and so I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. ¹⁸ And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory throughout all ages. Amen.

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

⁸ but hospitable, benevolent, sober, just, holy, temperate;

¹⁰ For there are many disorderly persons, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision; whose mouths must be stopped: ¹¹ who subvert whole families, teaching what they ought not, for shameful gain:

¹⁶ They profess to know God, but in works deny Him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every thing that is good void of understanding.

³ the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

⁷ in all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works, with uncorruptness in teaching, gravity, sound doctrine that cannot be condemned;

¹² teaching us that denying ungodliness, and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and righteously, and piously in this present world;

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.

¹ Admonish them to be submissive to governors and magistrates, to obey their orders, and to be ready to every good work;

³ For we also were formerly foolish, disobedient, going astray, enslaved to various disorderly appetites and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

¹⁰ reject therefore such an heretical man, after the first and second admonition; knowing that such a one is perverted,

⁷ Therefore, as the holy Ghost saith, "To-day if ye will hear his voice,

¹² For the word of God is lively and efficacious, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of the very joints and marrow, and judging the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

¹¹ Concerning whom we have much to say and difficult to be explained, since ye are become dull of hearing.

¹¹ And we desire that every one of you would shew the same diligence to acquire the full assurance of hope even unto the end:

²² let us draw near with sincerity, in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²⁴ (for He is faithful who hath promised) and let us observe each other to the incitement of love and good works:

³³ partly, being made a public spectacle by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, as ye became associates of those who were so treated: ³⁴ for ye sympathized with me in my bonds, and ye took joyfully the plundering of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

¹ Now faith is the confident expectation of things hoped for, and a conviction of things not seen:

³² And what need I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and Barak, and Sampson, and Jephthah, and David, and Samuel, and of the prophets: ³³ who by faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made powerful, became strong in battle, and turned to flight the armies of their enemies. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again; and others were tortured to death, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others had the trial of mockings and scourgings, and of bonds too and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain by the sword: they went about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, ³⁸ distressed, (of whom the world was not worthy) wandering in deserts, and mountains, and dens, and caves of the earth.

⁹ be not then carried about by various and strange doctrines; for it is good that the heart be established by grace, and not in meats, in which those that have been most exact, have not profited by them.

⁶ Do not the rich tyrannize over you; and drag you to their tribunals?

⁸ If ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, which saith, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.

⁶ No, He giveth more grace: wherefore it is said, God resisteth the proud, but sheweth favor to the humble.

¹⁶ but ye glory in your presumption: all such glorying is wicked.

¹⁰ concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied of the grace to be conferred on you, enquired and diligently sought after it: ¹¹ searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did declare in testifying beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ, and the glories following them: ¹² to whom it was revealed, that it was not to themselves, but to us they ministered these things, which are now declared unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you, through the holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

²⁰ For what glory is it, if when ye sin and are punished for it, ye bear it patiently? but if when ye do well and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this will gain favor with God. ²¹ For unto this are ye called; because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye might follow his steps.

¹⁴ But if ye should even suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye: and therefore be not afraid of their menaces, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:

¹² Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery trial coming upon you, which is to try you, as if some strange thing befel you: ¹³ but rejoice in that ye are partakers in the sufferings of Christ; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may also rejoice with exceeding joy. ¹⁴ If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: and though as to them He is blasphemed, yet as to you He is glorified. ¹⁵ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a malefactor, or as an intermeddler with other people's affairs. ¹⁶ But if any suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God herein.

⁵ Likewise ye younger, be subject to the elder; and all of you behaving with due submission one to another, be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, but sheweth favor to the humble.

⁹ whom resist, stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are endured by your brethren in the world. ¹⁰ But may the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a little while, make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

⁵ And to this giving all diligence, add to your faith fortitude; ⁶ and to fortitude knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience piety; ⁷ and to piety brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection charity.

¹⁹ We have also the more sure word of the prophets, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning-star rise in your hearts: ²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation; ²¹ for prophecy was not delivered of old at the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Spirit.

¹ But there were indeed false prophets among the people of old, as there will be also among you false teachers, who will privately introduce pernicious heresies, denying even the Lord that bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction, ² And many will follow their pernicious tenets, on whose account the way of truth will be reproached: ³ and by artful speeches they will make sale of you for gain. Whose judgement is long since hastening, and their destruction doth not slumber.

⁹ iniquitous deeds) then the Lord knoweth how to deliver the pious from temptation, and to reserve the wicked to the day of judgement to be punished: ¹⁰ especially those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise authority; who, being audacious and self-willed, are not afraid to speak evil of dignities: ¹¹ whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, bring not a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. ¹² But these men, like brute beasts naturally produced to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil of things which they do not understand, shall perish by their own corruption; receiving the reward of their unrighteousness:

¹² But these men, like brute beasts naturally produced to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil of things which they do not understand, shall perish by their own corruption; receiving the reward of their unrighteousness: ¹³ who account it a pleasure to riot even in the day; spots and disgraces; revelling in their frauds, while they partake of your feasts: ¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and which cannot be restrained from sin: ensnaring unstable souls, and having a heart practised in rapine; cursed people:

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and which cannot be restrained from sin: ensnaring unstable souls, and having a heart practised in rapine; cursed people:

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and which cannot be restrained from sin: ensnaring unstable souls, and having a heart practised in rapine; cursed people: ¹⁵ who have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity;

¹⁵ who have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity; ¹⁶ but was reproved for his transgression: for a dumb beast speaking with the voice of a man checked the madness of the prophet. ¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom thick darkness is reserved for ever. ¹⁸ For when they speak swelling words of vanity, they ensnare in the lusts of the flesh, through their lasciviousness, those who had indeed withdrawn from such as deal in error;

¹⁸ For when they speak swelling words of vanity, they ensnare in the lusts of the flesh, through their lasciviousness, those who had indeed withdrawn from such as deal in error; ¹⁹ promising them liberty, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for by whom any one is vanquished, by him he is also enslaved.

¹⁹ promising them liberty, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for by whom any one is vanquished, by him he is also enslaved. ²⁰ For if, after they had escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled and vanquished by them, their last state is worse than the first;

²⁰ For if, after they had escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled and vanquished by them, their last state is worse than the first; ²¹ for it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than when they knew it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it is happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog is returned to his own vomit, and, The swine that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

³ that there will come in the last days scoffers,

¹¹ Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,

¹⁶ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things: in which are some things hard to be understood, which the illiterate and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. ¹⁷ Do ye therefore, beloved, as ye know these things before, take heed least being seduced together with them by the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness.

¹⁸ Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that an antichrist will come, there are even now many antichrists, whereby we know that it is the last time.

¹ Beloved, believe not every Spirit, but try the spirits, whether they be of God: for many false prophets are gone out into the world.

¹¹ And the testimony is this, that God hath given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that hath the Son hath life: he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

⁹ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: but he, that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ Now if any one come unto you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor wish him success: for he,

¹⁰ Now if any one come unto you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor wish him success: for he, ¹¹ that biddeth him welcome, is partaker of his evil deeds. ¹² Having many things to write unto you, I would not with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.

⁴ For there have crept in some men, who have been of old described as under this condemnation, impious people, that turn the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and deny God the only Lord, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ So these vile dreamers also defile the flesh, despise authority, and speak evil of dignities. ⁹ Whereas Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, did not presume to bring against him a railing accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke thee." ¹⁰ But these men speak evil of what they know not: and what they know naturally, as brute animals, in these things they are corrupt. ¹¹ Wo unto them; for they have gone in the way of Cain, and been carried away by Balaam's error, the love of lucre, and perished as in the contradiction of Korah.

¹⁶ These are murmurers, complainers, who walk according to their own irregular desires; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, with admiration of certain persons for some advantage of their own. ¹⁷ But, beloved, remember the words which were formerly spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; for they told you, ¹⁸ that in the latter days there will be scoffers, walking according to their own impious lusts.

¹⁸ that in the latter days there will be scoffers, walking according to their own impious lusts. ¹⁹ These are they who separate themselves, sensualists, not having the Spirit.

¹⁹ These are they who separate themselves, sensualists, not having the Spirit.

⁹ I John, who am also your brother, and companion in the affliction, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. ¹⁰ Here I was in the Spirit on the Lord's-day: and heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,

⁶ But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee; for thou hast there those that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication. ¹⁵ So thou hast also them that hold the like doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I hate.

²⁰ But I have a few things against thee; because thou sufferest the woman Jezabel, who saith that she is a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

¹⁴ And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of great affliction, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹ And when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour: ² and I saw the seven angels, that stood before God; and seven trumpets were given to them. ³ And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to Him much incense, that He might present it with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar, which was before the throne. ⁴ And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the angel, before God. ⁵ And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake. ⁶ And the seven angels, that had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound their trumpets. ⁷ And the first angel sounded his trumpet, and there was hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast down upon the earth: and a third part of the trees and every green herb was burnt up. ⁸ And the second angel sounded, and I saw as it were a great mountain on fire cast into the sea, and a third part of the sea became blood. ⁹ And a third part of the creatures in the sea, that had life, died; and a third part of the ships were destroyed. ¹⁰ And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star burning like a torch, and it fell upon a third part of the rivers, and the fountains of waters: and the name of the star is Wormwood; ¹¹ and a third part of the waters became as wormwood: and many men died of the waters, because they were bitter. ¹² And the fourth angel sounded, and a third part of the sun was smitten, and a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars; so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day lost a third part of it's light, and the night likewise. ¹³ And I beheld, and heard an angel flying in the midst of heaven saying with a loud voice, Wo, wo, wo to the inhabitants on the earth from the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, that are yet to sound.

⁴ And his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman, who was ready to bring forth, that when she was delivered, he might devour her child.

⁷ And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon: and the dragon fought, and his angels; ⁸ but these prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.

¹ And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, which had seven heads and ten horns; and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the names of blasphemy.

⁵ And there was given him a mouth speaking great and blasphemous things, and power was given him to make war forty two months. ⁶ And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and those that dwell in heaven.

¹⁴ by the signs which it was given him to do in the presence of the beast, telling the inhabitants of the earth to make an image to the beast, that had received the wound of the sword, and yet lived. ¹⁵ And he was permitted to give life to the image of the beast, that it might both speak, and cause all those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.

¹⁷ but he that hath the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

⁶ and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

⁹ And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues, and they repented not to give Him glory.

¹¹ And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their works.

²¹ And great hail-stones of a talent weight came down from heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

¹² the lading of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and all sorts of thyine wood, and vessels of ivory, and of the most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble; ¹³ and their cinnamon, and perfumes, and sweet ointment, and incense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, yea and the souls of men.

²³ And the light of a candle shall be seen in thee no more; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him: and he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and a fellow-servant of thy brethren, that hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the Spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.
