¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ² Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, I am Jehovah your God. ³ You shall not do like the doings of the land of Egypt in which you lived. And you shall not do like the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you. Neither shall you walk in their ordinances. ⁴ You shall do My judgments and keep My ordinances, to walk in them. I am Jehovah your God. ⁵ And you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Jehovah. ⁶ None of you shall approach to any who are near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness. I am Jehovah. ⁷ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness. ⁸ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife. It is your father's nakedness. ⁹ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, born at home or born away. Their nakedness you shall not uncover. ¹⁰ The nakedness of your son's daughter, or of your daughter's daughter, you shall not uncover their nakedness. For theirs is your own nakedness. ¹¹ You shall not uncover the nakedness of the daughter of your father's wife, begotten of your father. She is your sister. ¹² You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister. She is your father's near kinswoman. ¹³ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister. For she is your mother's near kinswoman. ¹⁴ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt. ¹⁵ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife.

It is your brother's nakedness. ¹⁷ You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shall you undertake to uncover her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter. They are her near kinswomen; it is wickedness. ¹⁸ And you shall not take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life. ¹⁹ Also you shall not approach to a woman to uncover her nakedness in the impurity of her uncleanness. ²⁰ And you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, to defile yourself with her. ²¹ And you shall not let any of your seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shall you profane the name of your God. I am Jehovah. ²² You shall not lie with mankind as with womankind. It is abomination to God. ²³ And you shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. And a woman shall not stand before an animal to lie down to it. It is a perversion. ²⁴ Do not defile yourselves in any of these things. For in all these the nations are defiled, which I cast out before you. ²⁵ And the land is defiled. Therefore I visit its wickedness on it, and the land itself vomits out those who live in it. ²⁶ You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, neither the native, nor any stranger that lives among you. ²⁷ For the men of the land who were before you have done all these abominations, and the land is defiled. ²⁸ You shall not do these so that the land may not spew you out also when you defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you. ²⁹ For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. ³⁰ And you shall keep My ordinance, so as not to do any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves in them. I am Jehovah your God.

¹ And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a woman who was a Jewess and who believed. But his father was a Greek. ² He was well reported of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium. ³ Paul wanted him to go with him, and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places; for they all knew that his father was a Greek. ⁴ And as they passed through the cities, they delivered to them the commandments to keep, the ones that were ordained by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem. ⁵ Then indeed the churches were established in the faith and increased in number daily. ⁶ And coming through the Phrygian and the Galatian region; and by the Holy Spirit being forbidden to speak the Word in Asia; ⁷ having come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia. But the Spirit did not allow them. ⁸ Then passing by Mysia, they came down into Troas. ⁹ And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A certain man of Macedonia stood, begging him, saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us! ¹⁰ And after he saw the vision, we immediately tried to go into Macedonia, gathering that the Lord had called us in order to preach the gospel to them. ¹¹ Then having set sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis; ¹² and from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we continued spending time in that city some days. ¹³ And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was usually made. And we sat down and spoke to the women who came together there. ¹⁴ And a certain woman named Lydia heard us, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God; whose heart the Lord opened, so that she attended to the things which were spoken by Paul. ¹⁵ And when she was baptized, she and her household, she begged us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay. And she constrained us. ¹⁶ And as we went to prayer, it happened that a certain girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by divining. ¹⁷ The same followed Paul and us and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are announcing to us the way of salvation. ¹⁸ And she did this many days. But being distressed, and turning to the demonic spirit, Paul said, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her! And it came out in that hour. ¹⁹ And when her masters saw that the hope of their gain went out, having seized Paul and Silas, they dragged them to the market before the rulers. ²⁰ And bringing them near to the judges, they said, These men, being Jews, are exceedingly troubling our city. ²¹ And they teach customs which are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans. ²² And the crowd rose up against them. And tearing off their clothes, the judges ordered them to be flogged. ²³ And after laying on them many stripes, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailor to keep them safely; ²⁴ who, having received such a command, thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks. ²⁵ And toward midnight Paul and Silas prayed and praised God in a hymn. And the prisoners listened to them. ²⁶ And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and all the bonds were loosened. ²⁷ And being awakened, and seeing the doors of the prison being open, drawing a sword, the jailer was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. ²⁸ But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm, for we are all here. ²⁹ Then asking for a light he rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. ³⁰ And leading them outside, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? ³¹ And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, and your household. ³² And they spoke the Word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his household. ³³ And taking them in that hour of the night, he washed from their stripes. And he was baptized, he and all his, immediately. ³⁴ And bringing them up to the house, he set a table before them and rejoiced, believing in God with all his household. ³⁵ And day coming, the judges sent the floggers, saying, Let those men go. ³⁶ And the jailer spoke these words to Paul: The judges have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart, and go in peace. ³⁷ But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly, men who are Romans and uncondemned, they threw us into prison. And now do they put us out secretly? No indeed! But coming themselves, let them bring us out. ³⁸ And the floggers reported these words to the judges. And hearing that they were Romans, they were afraid. ³⁹ And coming they begged them. And bringing them out, they asked them to depart out of the city. ⁴⁰ And going out from the prison, they entered into the house of Lydia. And seeing the brothers, they comforted them and departed.

²⁶ For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable affections. For even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature. ²⁷ And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error.

¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, ¹⁹ because the thing which may be known of God is clearly revealed within them, for God revealed it to them. ²⁰ For the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being realized by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be without excuse. ²¹ Because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were thankful. But they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. ²² Professing to be wise, they became fools ²³ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things. ²⁴ Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves. ²⁵ For they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. ²⁶ For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable affections. For even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature. ²⁷ And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error. ²⁸ And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right, ²⁹ being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; being full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, evil habits, becoming whisperers, ³⁰ backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, braggarts, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, ³¹ undiscerning, perfidious, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful; ³² who, knowing the righteous order of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but have pleasure in those practicing them.

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals,

¹⁰ Love works no ill to its neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law. ¹¹ This also, knowing the time, that it is already time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. ¹² The night is far spent, the day is at hand; therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in carousings and drinking; not in co-habitation and lustful acts; not in strife and envy. ¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take thought beforehand for the lusts of the flesh.

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you. But you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

²⁸ A perverse man causes fighting, and a whisperer separates chief friends.

⁵ Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. ⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

¹³ No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

⁵ Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness (which is idolatry),

¹² teaching us that having denied ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live discreetly, righteously and godly, in this present world,

²³ for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

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

²⁶ For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
