⁴⁴ Verily I tell you, that he will set him over all that he hath. ⁴⁵ But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and begin to beat the men and maid-servants, and drink, and to be drunken: ⁴⁶ the lord of that servant will come on a day in which he does not expect him, and at a time which he is not aware of; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.

⁵¹ Do ye think that I am come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, nay; but rather division. ⁵² For from this time there shall be five in one family divided, three against two and two against three: ⁵³ the father will be against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

⁵³ the father will be against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. ⁵⁴ He said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye presently say, there is a shower coming, and so it proves: ⁵⁵ and when ye observe the south-wind blowing, ye say there will be heat, and it cometh to pass. ⁵⁶ Ye hypocrites, ye know how to discern the face of the earth and of the heavens, and why do ye not discern the present time? ⁵⁷ and why do ye not even of yourselves judge what is right?

⁵⁷ and why do ye not even of yourselves judge what is right?

¹² Father, give me the portion that falleth to my share. And he divided his substance between them.

³ Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

²³ And they will say to you, Behold, He is here, or behold He is there: but go not after them, nor follow them.

³¹ In that day, whoever shall be on the house-top, and his goods in the house, let him not come down into it to take them away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. ³² Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; ³³ and whosoever will venture his life, shall preserve it.

³⁷ And they answered and said unto Him, Where, Lord? And He said to them, where the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

¹ And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint:

⁷ and will not God do justice for his elect that cry to Him day and night, though He bear long with them.

²⁷ But those mine enemies, who would not have me to reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

³⁷ And when He was now come near to the foot of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples rejoicing began to praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

⁴³ For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast up a trench about thee, and surround thee, and keep thee in on every side, ⁴⁴ and shall lay thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou didst not regard the time of thy visitation. ⁴⁵ And He went into the temple, and cast out those that were buying and selling in it, ⁴⁶ saying unto them, It is written, "my house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves." ⁴⁷ And He was teaching daily in the temple: but the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy Him; ⁴⁸ and could not find how to effect it: for all the people were attentive to hear Him.

³⁵ But they who are counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

⁷ And they asked Him, saying, Master, when shall these things be? And what will be the sign when these things shall come to pass? ⁸ And He said, Take heed that ye be not deceived; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and the time is near: but do not therefore go after them.

¹⁸ But not an hair of your head shall perish. ¹⁹ In your patience therefore possess your souls. ²⁰ And when ye shall see Jerusalem surrounded with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh: then let them that are in Judea flee to the mountains, ²¹ and those that are in the midst of it, depart; and let not them that are in the countries enter into it.

²⁵ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity, the sea and the waves roring: ²⁶ and men ready to die for fear and apprehension of the things that are coming upon the land; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. ²⁷ And then shall they see the Son of man coming, as on a cloud, with power and great glory.

²⁷ And then shall they see the Son of man coming, as on a cloud, with power and great glory. ²⁸ But when these things begin to come to pass, look upwards and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh.

²⁸ But when these things begin to come to pass, look upwards and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh.

³² Verily I tell you, this generation shall not pass away till all be accomplished.

³⁹ And He came out and went, as He used to do, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed Him.

²⁹ For behold the days are coming in which they shall say, happy are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.

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

²⁰ Forty and six years has this temple been in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? but He spake of the temple of his body.

⁴³ I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another should come in his own name, him ye will receive.

⁷ but me it hates, because I bear my testimony concerning it, that it's deeds are evil.

¹ But Jesus went to the mount of Olives; ² and returned early in the morning into the temple, and all the people came to Him: and He sat down, and taught them.

²⁰ These words spake Jesus in the treasury, when He was teaching in the temple: and no one laid hands on Him, for his hour was not yet come.

²⁴ Therefore I said unto you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am the Messiah, ye shall die in your sins.

¹ Jesus however, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and whom He raised from the dead.

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. ³ And these things will they do unto you; because they have not known the Father, nor me.

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.

²¹ and upon seeing him, Peter saith to Jesus, Lord, what shall this man do? ²² Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he stay till I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.

⁶ Being therefore come together they asked Him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? ⁷ And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or seasons, which the Father hath reserved in his own power.

⁹ And having said these things, as they were looking upon Him, He was lifted up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. ¹⁰ And while they were looking stedfastly toward heaven, as He went up, behold two men in white stood by them; ¹¹ who said, Ye men of Galilee, why do ye stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in the manner ye have seen Him going into heaven. ¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath-day's journey.

⁴ and they were all filled with the holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

¹⁹ And I will give prodigies in the heaven, and signs upon the earth; blood, and fire, and smoky vapour.

¹⁹ And I will give prodigies in the heaven, and signs upon the earth; blood, and fire, and smoky vapour. ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and illustrious day of the Lord come.

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things common. ⁴⁵ And they sold their possessions and goods, and distributed to all, according as any one had need.

³ And they laid hands on them, and put them into custody till the next day: for it was now evening. ⁴ But many of them who heard the word, believed: and the number of the men was about five thousand. ⁵ And on the morrow their rulers, and elders, and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem: ⁶ and with them Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest. ⁷ And when they had set them in the midst, they asked them, By what power, or in what name have ye done this? ⁸ Then Peter filled with the holy Spirit said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, ⁹ and elders of Israel, if we are this day examined about the benefit done to the impotent man, ¹⁰ by what means he is cured, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, but whom God hath raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole. ¹¹ This is the stone that was set at nought by you builders, which is become the head of the corner. ¹² And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we can be saved. ¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were plain and illiterate men, they were amazed; and they knew them again that they had been with Jesus:

²⁷ For of a truth both Herod and Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles and the people of Israel, combined against thy holy child Jesus,

³¹ And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with freedom. ³² And the heart and soul of the multitude that believed was one: no one called any of his possessions his own property, but they had all things common. ³³ And with great power did the apostles give their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. ³⁴ Neither was there any indigent person among them; for as many as were proprietors of lands or houses, sold them and brought the prices of what were sold,

¹⁷ Then the high priest rose up, and all that were with him, (being of the sect of the sadducees,) and were filled with rage: ¹⁸ and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison. ¹⁹ But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison by night, and having brought them out said,

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. ³⁷ After him arose Judas the Galilean, at the time of the registring, and drew much people after him: but he also perished, and all that followed him were dispersed.

⁴⁰ So they took his advice, and having called for the apostles and scourged them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

¹⁰ and they were not able to resist the wisdom and spirit by which he spake.

¹² And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, and forced him along with them, and brought him to the council: ¹³ and they set up false witnesses; who said, This man is continually speaking blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law.

¹³ and they set up false witnesses; who said, This man is continually speaking blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law. ¹⁴ For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and change the rites which Moses delivered to us.

¹⁴ For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and change the rites which Moses delivered to us. ¹⁵ (And all that were sitting in the council, looking stedfastly at him, saw his face like the face of an angel.)

⁵⁷ Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, ⁵⁸ and cast him out of the city and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul. ⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. ⁶⁰ And bending his knees, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this he fell asleep.

³ But Saul made havock of the church, entring into the houses, and dragging out men and women, committed them to prison.

⁹ But there was before in the city a man named Simon practising magic and bewitching the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great person. ¹⁰ Whom they all greatly regarded, from the lest to the greatest, saying, This man is as the great power of God.

⁴ and he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

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

² and one that feared God, with all his house; giving also much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

²⁸ And one of them, named Agabus, stood up and signified by the Spirit, that there would be a great famine over all the earth: which accordingly came to pass in the reign of Claudius Cesar.

¹ About that time Herod the king exerted his power to distress some of the church. ² And he cut off James, the brother of John, with the sword.

² And he cut off James, the brother of John, with the sword. ³ And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also, (in the days of unleavened bread:) ⁴ whom he seized and put into prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending, after the passover, to bring him out to the people.

²² And the populace rose up together against them: and the officers stripped off their clothes, and ordered them to be scourged. ²³ And when they had given them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely. ²⁴ Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. ²⁵ Now in the middle of the night Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God, and the prisoners heard them. ²⁶ And on a sudden there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bonds were loosed.

²⁶ and hath made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having determined the seasons before-appointed them, and the bounds of their habitation;

³⁰ And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people: and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the gates were shut. ³¹ And as they were going to kill him, a report came to the tribune of the cohort, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar:

³⁰ And on the morrow, desiring to know for certain what he was accused of by the Jews, he loosed him from his bonds, and ordered the chief priests and all their council to attend; and he brought down Paul, and set him before them:

¹ And after five days, the high-priest Ananias came down with the elders, and one Tertulius an orator, who appeared before the governor against Paul. ² And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "As by thee we enjoy much peace, and glorious things are done to this nation by thy prudent administration, ³ we acknowledge it upon all occasions and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ But that I may not trespass upon thee too far, I beg thou wouldst hear us a few words with thy wonted goodness. ⁵ For having found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ring-leader of the sect of the Nazarenes, ⁶ and attempting to profane the temple, we apprehended him, and would have judged him according to our law. ⁷ But Lysias the tribune came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, commanding his accusers to come unto thee: ⁸ from whom thou mayst thyself by examining him come to the knowledge of all these things of which we accuse him." ⁹ And the Jews also assented, saying, that these things were so.

²⁵ And as he was reasoning of justice, temperance, and a future judgement, Felix trembled, and said, Go thy way for this time, and I will take a proper opportunity to call for thee again.

¹ Festus therefore, being come into the province, after three days went up from Cesarea to Jerusalem. ² And the high-priest and principal men among the Jews, appeared before him against Paul, and made application to him,

¹¹ For if I am indeed doing them wrong, and have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be nothing in what these men accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. ¹² I appeal to Cesar. Then Festus, conferring with his council, answered, Hast thou appealed to Cesar? to Cesar thou shalt go.

²² Then Agrippa said to Festus, I should be willing to hear the man myself. And he said, thou shalt hear him to-morrow. ²³ The next day therefore, Agrippa and Bernice coming with much pomp, and entering into the court, together with the chief officers, and men of greatest eminence in the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in. ²⁴ And Festus said, "King Agrippa and all that are here present with us, ye see this man, concerning whom all the Jews have applied to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out, that he ought not to live. ²⁵ But when I found that he had done nothing worthy of death, and as he himself has appealed to the emperor, I have determined to send him.

² "O king Agrippa, I think myself happy, that I am this day to make my defence before thee, concerning all the things which I am accused of by the Jews: ³ especially as thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions which are among the Jews; wherefore I intreat thee to hear me patiently. 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, ⁵ knowing me before, (if they would testify it,) that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a pharisee. ⁶ And now I stand arraigned for the hope of the promise which was made by God to our fathers: ⁷ to which promise our twelve tribes, worshipping continually night and day, hope to attain: concerning which hope, O king Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews. ⁸ What! is it judged incredible by you, that God should raise the dead? ⁹ I indeed once thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene: ¹⁰ which I also did in Jerusalem; and I shut up many of the saints in prison, having received authority for it from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my voice against them. ¹¹ And often punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme, and being excessively enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

²⁸ I know that thou believest them. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou almost persuadest me to be a Christian.

³⁴ wherefore I exhort you to take some nourishment, for this is necessary for your safety: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you.

⁵ But by thy hardness and impenitence of heart thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgement of God,

⁷ to them, who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, and honor, and immortality, eternal life:

³ And not only so, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience,

¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the world is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God:

²³ And not only others, but those also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit the redemption of our body.

²⁵ but if we hope for what we see not, then we wait for it with patience.

²⁵ For I would not have you, brethren, to be ignorant of this mystery, (least ye should be wise in your own eyes) that blindness in part is befallen Israel, till the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

¹¹ And this let us observe, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed. ¹² The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. ¹³ Let us behave decently as being in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lasciviousness, not in strife and envying.

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.

¹¹ But now I have written to you, not to associate with him, if any one, that is called a brother, be a whoremonger, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious; with such a one no not to eat.

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor rapacious persons, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹³ Be watchful, stand fast in the faith, behave like men, be strong:

⁵ for we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for the sake of Jesus.

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.

² how in a great trial of affliction, their abundant chearfulness and their deep poverty, hath munificently shewn the riches of their bounty. ³ For to their power, I bear them witness, yea and beyond their power, they contributed of their own accord:

¹² For if there be first a willing mind, any me is accepted according to what he hath, not according to what he hath not.

⁶ But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall also reap bountifully. ⁷ Let every one give as he chuses in his own heart; not with reluctance, or constraint: for God loveth a chearful giver.

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.

¹⁰ And therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, and in straits for the sake of Christ: for when I am thus weak, then am I made strong.

²⁰ lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strifes, emulations, animosities, contentions, divisions,

¹⁴ who is the pledge of our inheritance, till the redemption of his purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.

³⁰ And grieve not the holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed to the day of redemption.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

¹³ Take therefore the complete armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand. ¹⁴ Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth, and putting on the breast-plate of righteousness:

¹⁸ praying at all seasons with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance, and intercession for all the saints; ¹⁹ and for me particularly, that utterance may be given me, that I may open my mouth with freedom, to make known the mystery of the gospel:

¹⁹ and for me particularly, that utterance may be given me, that I may open my mouth with freedom, to make known the mystery of the gospel:

¹² But I would have you know, my brethren, that the things, which have befallen me, have proved rather to the advancement of the gospel:

²⁸ and are in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is a demonstration of ruin to them, but to you of salvation, and this from God. ²⁹ For to you it is granted as a favor from Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for his sake:

⁶ Be anxious in nothing: but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known before God.

² Persevere in prayer, and be watchful in it, with thanksgiving. ³ Praying at the same time for us also, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to declare the mystery of Christ, for which also I am in bonds: that I may make it manifest, as I ought. ⁴ Behave yourselves wisely towards them that are without,

³ Incessantly remembering your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father:

¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; who are displeasing to God, and contrary to all men: ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, thus going on to fill up their sins perpetually: but wrath is coming upon them to extremity.

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, thus going on to fill up their sins perpetually: but wrath is coming upon them to extremity.

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.

² for ye yourselves know full well, that the day of the Lord cometh like a thief in the night. ³ And when they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. ⁴ But ye, my brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should seize you as a thief: ⁵ ye are all children of the light, and of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. ⁶ Therefore let us not sleep like others, but let us watch and be sober: ⁷ for they, that sleep, sleep in the night; and drunkards are drunk in the night: ⁸ but let us, who are of the day, be sober; putting on the breast-plate of faith and love, and for an helmet the hope of salvation.

¹⁷ Pray continually.

⁵ Which are a demonstration of the just judgement of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

⁵ Which are a demonstration of the just judgement of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: ⁶ seeing it is a righteous thing with God to render affliction to those that afflict you;

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,

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. ¹¹ And for this cause God will send upon them the efficacy of error, so that they shall themselves believe the lie:

⁵ And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

¹³ But wicked men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

⁵ But be thou watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, give full proof of thy ministry.

¹⁶ In my first defence no one stood by me, but all men forsook me: God grant it may not be laid to their charge! 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.

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:

¹⁵ And thus waiting patiently he obtained the promise.

¹² nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for us. ¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purification of the flesh; ¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works, that ye may serve the living God? ¹⁵ And on this account He is the mediator of a new covenant, that undergoing death for the redemption of transgressions against the first covenant, they that are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. ¹⁶ For where a testament is, there is a necessity of proving the death of the testator. ¹⁷ For a testament is valid after men are dead, but is of no force while the testator is living.

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after having received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins;

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after having received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins; ²⁷ but a dreadful expectation of judgement, and a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

²⁷ but a dreadful expectation of judgement, and a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. ²⁸ If any one that violateth the law of Moses, dieth without mercy under two or three witnesses, ²⁹ of how much greater punishment, think ye, shall he be counted worthy, who hath trampled under foot the Son of God, and accounted the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and abused the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know who hath said, "To me belongeth vengeance, I will recompense, saith the Lord:" and again, "The Lord will judge his people." ³¹ It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that having done the will of God ye may receive the promise. ³⁷ For yet a little while, and He, that is coming, will come, and will not delay:

¹⁵ looking to it, least there be any one falling short of the grace of God, least any root of bitterness springing up should be troublesome, and by it many be defiled:

²⁷ Now this expression "yet once more" signifieth the removing of the things that are shaken, as of things which had been appointed only for a season, that those which cannot be shaken may remain.

¹⁶ But to do good and to communicate forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

³ knowing this, that the trial of your faith worketh patience;

⁵ And if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him.

¹ Weep now, ye rich men, and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.

⁷ Wait patiently therefore, my brethren, till the coming of the Lord: behold the husbandman expecteth the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it, till he receive the former and the latter rain. ⁸ Be ye also patient, establish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is near. ⁹ Repine not, my brethren, against each other, that ye be not condemned: behold, the judge is at the door.

⁹ Repine not, my brethren, against each other, that ye be not condemned: behold, the judge is at the door. ¹⁰ Take for an example of enduring evil and of long-suffering the prophets, who spake in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Behold, we account those happy, that are patient. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

²⁵ but the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word which is preached to you in the gospel.

¹³ Be subject therefore to every human form of government, for the Lord's sake: whether it be to a king as supreme;

³ For the time past of our life is sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, inordinate desires, excess of wine, revellings, drunkenness, and abominable idolatries: ⁴ in which they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same excess of riot, and therefore speak evil of you: ⁵ who shall give an account to Him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For to this end was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the spirit. ⁷ But the end of all things draws nigh: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer:

¹⁷ For the time is coming when judgement is to begin at the house of God: and if at us first, what will be the end of those that obey not the gospel of God?

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, like a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

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:

⁷ But the heavens and the earth, that now are, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire on the day of judgement and destruction of ungodly men.

⁷ But the heavens and the earth, that now are, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire on the day of judgement and destruction of ungodly men. ⁸ But, beloved; be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ The Lord is not slow as to his promise (as some count it slowness) but is long-suffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements being set on fire shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein shall be burnt up.

²⁸ And now, little children, abide, I say, in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and may not be ashamed before Him at his coming.

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.

⁷ For many deceivers are come out into the world, who disown that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an antichrist.

²⁴ Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy:

³ Happy is he that readeth, and those that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is near.

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.

² I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear those that are evil: and thou hast tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars; and hast borne trouble, and hast patience; ³ and for my name's sake thou hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

¹⁰ Fear none of the things which thou wilt suffer: behold the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall suffer affliction ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

¹³ I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and yet thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr; who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

³ Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent: for if thou be not watchful, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come upon thee.

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

⁹ And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they maintained. ¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on those that dwell upon the earth? ¹¹ And white robes were given to each of them, and it was told them to rest a little while longer, till the number of their fellow-servants, and their brethren that should be killed as they were, should be complete. ¹² And I saw when He opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sack-cloth of hair, and the moon was red as blood;

¹² And I saw when He opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sack-cloth of hair, and the moon was red as blood; ¹³ and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig-tree droppeth it's unripe figs, when shaken by a strong wind; ¹⁴ and the heaven passed away as a book rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places:

¹¹ And they have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their life unto the death.

¹⁵ "Behold, I come as a thief: blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, that he may not walk naked, and his shame be seen."

⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out from her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye may not suffer by her plagues:

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and no place was found for them.
