PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto
the gospel of God,
		 -- Romans 1:1
%
(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
		 -- Romans 1:2
%
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of
David according to the flesh;
		 -- Romans 1:3
%
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit
of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
		 -- Romans 1:4
%
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the
faith among all nations, for his name:
		 -- Romans 1:5
%
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
		 -- Romans 1:6
%
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to
you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- Romans 1:7
%
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith
is spoken of throughout the whole world.
		 -- Romans 1:8
%
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his
Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
		 -- Romans 1:9
%
Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous
journey by the will of God to come unto you.
		 -- Romans 1:10
%
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift,
to the end ye may be established;
		 -- Romans 1:11
%
That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith
both of you and me.
		 -- Romans 1:12
%
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed
to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit
among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
		 -- Romans 1:13
%
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise,
and to the unwise.
		 -- Romans 1:14
%
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that
are at Rome also.
		 -- Romans 1:15
%
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek.
		 -- Romans 1:16
%
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:
as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
		 -- Romans 1:17
%
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
		 -- Romans 1:18
%
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath
shewed it unto them.
		 -- Romans 1:19
%
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
		 -- Romans 1:20
%
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither
were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish
heart was darkened.
		 -- Romans 1:21
%
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
		 -- Romans 1:22
%
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to
corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
		 -- Romans 1:23
%
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of
their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
		 -- Romans 1:24
%
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.  Amen.
		 -- Romans 1:25
%
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their
women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
		 -- Romans 1:26
%
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned
in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is
unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error
which was meet.
		 -- Romans 1:27
%
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God
gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient;
		 -- Romans 1:28
%
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers,
		 -- Romans 1:29
%
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of
evil things, disobedient to parents,
		 -- Romans 1:30
%
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful:
		 -- Romans 1:31
%
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are
worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that
do them.
		 -- Romans 1:32
%
THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest:
for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that
judgest doest the same things.
		 -- Romans 2:1
%
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against
them which commit such things.
		 -- Romans 2:2
%
And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things,
and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
		 -- Romans 2:3
%
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and
longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to
repentance?
		 -- Romans 2:4
%
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself
wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment
of God;
		 -- Romans 2:5
%
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
		 -- Romans 2:6
%
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and
honour and immortality, eternal life:
		 -- Romans 2:7
%
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey
unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
		 -- Romans 2:8
%
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the
Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
		 -- Romans 2:9
%
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the
Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
		 -- Romans 2:10
%
For there is no respect of persons with God.
		 -- Romans 2:11
%
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law:
and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
		 -- Romans 2:12
%
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of
the law shall be justified.
		 -- Romans 2:13
%
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the
things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto
themselves:
		 -- Romans 2:14
%
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience
also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else
excusing one another;)
		 -- Romans 2:15
%
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel.
		 -- Romans 2:16
%
Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy
boast of God,
		 -- Romans 2:17
%
And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent,
being instructed out of the law;
		 -- Romans 2:18
%
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light
of them which are in darkness,
		 -- Romans 2:19
%
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form
of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
		 -- Romans 2:20
%
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself?
thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
		 -- Romans 2:21
%
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit
adultery?  thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
		 -- Romans 2:22
%
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law
dishonourest thou God?
		 -- Romans 2:23
%
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it
is written.
		 -- Romans 2:24
%
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be
a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
		 -- Romans 2:25
%
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law,
shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
		 -- Romans 2:26
%
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law,
judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
		 -- Romans 2:27
%
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision,
which is outward in the flesh:
		 -- Romans 2:28
%
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the
heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men,
but of God.
		 -- Romans 2:29
%
WHAT advantage then hath the Jew?  or what profit is there of
circumcision?
		 -- Romans 3:1
%
Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the
oracles of God.
		 -- Romans 3:2
%
For what if some did not believe?  shall their unbelief make the faith
of God without effect?
		 -- Romans 3:3
%
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written,
That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome
when thou art judged.
		 -- Romans 3:4
%
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall
we say?  Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance?  (I speak as a man)
		 -- Romans 3:5
%
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
		 -- Romans 3:6
%
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory;
why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
		 -- Romans 3:7
%
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that
we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come?  whose damnation is just.
		 -- Romans 3:8
%
What then?  are we better than they?  No, in no wise: for we have before
proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
		 -- Romans 3:9
%
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
		 -- Romans 3:10
%
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
		 -- Romans 3:11
%
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
		 -- Romans 3:12
%
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used
deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
		 -- Romans 3:13
%
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
		 -- Romans 3:14
%
Their feet are swift to shed blood:
		 -- Romans 3:15
%
Destruction and misery are in their ways:
		 -- Romans 3:16
%
And the way of peace have they not known:
		 -- Romans 3:17
%
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
		 -- Romans 3:18
%
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who
are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world
may become guilty before God.
		 -- Romans 3:19
%
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in
his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
		 -- Romans 3:20
%
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being
witnessed by the law and the prophets;
		 -- Romans 3:21
%
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto
all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
		 -- Romans 3:22
%
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
		 -- Romans 3:23
%
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus:
		 -- Romans 3:24
%
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood,
to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God;
		 -- Romans 3:25
%
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just,
and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
		 -- Romans 3:26
%
Where is boasting then?  It is excluded.  By what law?	of works?  Nay:
but by the law of faith.
		 -- Romans 3:27
%
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds
of the law.
		 -- Romans 3:28
%
Is he the God of the Jews only?  is he not also of the Gentiles?  Yes,
of the Gentiles also:
		 -- Romans 3:29
%
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith,
and uncircumcision through faith.
		 -- Romans 3:30
%
Do we then make void the law through faith?  God forbid: yea, we establish
the law.
		 -- Romans 3:31
%
WHAT shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the
flesh, hath found?
		 -- Romans 4:1
%
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but
not before God.
		 -- Romans 4:2
%
For what saith the scripture?  Abraham believed God, and it was counted
unto him for righteousness.
		 -- Romans 4:3
%
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
		 -- Romans 4:4
%
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the
ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
		 -- Romans 4:5
%
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God
imputeth righteousness without works,
		 -- Romans 4:6
%
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins
are covered.
		 -- Romans 4:7
%
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
		 -- Romans 4:8
%
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the
uncircumcision also?  for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham
for righteousness.
		 -- Romans 4:9
%
How was it then reckoned?  when he was in circumcision, or in
uncircumcision?  Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
		 -- Romans 4:10
%
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness
of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be
the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised;
that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
		 -- Romans 4:11
%
And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision
only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham,
which he had being yet uncircumcised.
		 -- Romans 4:12
%
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to
Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness
of faith.
		 -- Romans 4:13
%
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the
promise made of none effect:
		 -- Romans 4:14
%
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no
transgression.
		 -- Romans 4:15
%
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the
promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the
law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father
of us all,
		 -- Romans 4:16
%
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before
him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth
those things which be not as though they were.
		 -- Romans 4:17
%
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of
many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
		 -- Romans 4:18
%
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead,
when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of
Sara's womb:
		 -- Romans 4:19
%
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong
in faith, giving glory to God;
		 -- Romans 4:20
%
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also
to perform.
		 -- Romans 4:21
%
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
		 -- Romans 4:22
%
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
		 -- Romans 4:23
%
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that
raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
		 -- Romans 4:24
%
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our
justification.
		 -- Romans 4:25
%
THEREFORE being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ:
		 -- Romans 5:1
%
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
		 -- Romans 5:2
%
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience;
		 -- Romans 5:3
%
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
		 -- Romans 5:4
%
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in
our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
		 -- Romans 5:5
%
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for
the ungodly.
		 -- Romans 5:6
%
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a
good man some would even dare to die.
		 -- Romans 5:7
%
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
		 -- Romans 5:8
%
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through him.
		 -- Romans 5:9
%
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of
his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
		 -- Romans 5:10
%
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have now received the atonement.
		 -- Romans 5:11
%
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;
and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
		 -- Romans 5:12
%
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when
there is no law.
		 -- Romans 5:13
%
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had
not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the
figure of him that was to come.
		 -- Romans 5:14
%
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift.  For if through the
offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift
by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
		 -- Romans 5:15
%
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment
was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto
justification.
		 -- Romans 5:16
%
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which
receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign
in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
		 -- Romans 5:17
%
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to
condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came
upon all men unto justification of life.
		 -- Romans 5:18
%
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the
obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
		 -- Romans 5:19
%
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.  But where sin
abounded, grace did much more abound:
		 -- Romans 5:20
%
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
		 -- Romans 5:21
%
WHAT shall we say then?  Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
		 -- Romans 6:1
%
God forbid.  How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
		 -- Romans 6:2
%
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were
baptized into his death?
		 -- Romans 6:3
%
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as
Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life.
		 -- Romans 6:4
%
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
		 -- Romans 6:5
%
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of
sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
		 -- Romans 6:6
%
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
		 -- Romans 6:7
%
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live
with him:
		 -- Romans 6:8
%
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath
no more dominion over him.
		 -- Romans 6:9
%
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth,
he liveth unto God.
		 -- Romans 6:10
%
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive
unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
		 -- Romans 6:11
%
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it
in the lusts thereof.
		 -- Romans 6:12
%
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin:
but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead,
and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
		 -- Romans 6:13
%
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law,
but under grace.
		 -- Romans 6:14
%
What then?  shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under
grace?	God forbid.
		 -- Romans 6:15
%
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his
servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness?
		 -- Romans 6:16
%
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed
from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
		 -- Romans 6:17
%
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
		 -- Romans 6:18
%
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh:
for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to
iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to
righteousness unto holiness.
		 -- Romans 6:19
%
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
		 -- Romans 6:20
%
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
for the end of those things is death.
		 -- Romans 6:21
%
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have
your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
		 -- Romans 6:22
%
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
		 -- Romans 6:23
%
KNOW ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that
the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
		 -- Romans 7:1
%
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband
so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from
the law of her husband.
		 -- Romans 7:2
%
So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man,
she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is
free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married
to another man.
		 -- Romans 7:3
%
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of
Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised
from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
		 -- Romans 7:4
%
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law,
did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
		 -- Romans 7:5
%
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were
held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness
of the letter.
		 -- Romans 7:6
%
What shall we say then?  Is the law sin?  God forbid.  Nay, I had not
known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had
said, Thou shalt not covet.
		 -- Romans 7:7
%
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner
of concupiscence.  For without the law sin was dead.
		 -- Romans 7:8
%
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came,
sin revived, and I died.
		 -- Romans 7:9
%
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
		 -- Romans 7:10
%
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it
slew me.
		 -- Romans 7:11
%
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
		 -- Romans 7:12
%
Was then that which is good made death unto me?  God forbid.  But sin,
that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good;
that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
		 -- Romans 7:13
%
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
		 -- Romans 7:14
%
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but
what I hate, that do I.
		 -- Romans 7:15
%
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it
is good.
		 -- Romans 7:16
%
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
		 -- Romans 7:17
%
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing:
for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good
I find not.
		 -- Romans 7:18
%
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not,
that I do.
		 -- Romans 7:19
%
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that
dwelleth in me.
		 -- Romans 7:20
%
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
		 -- Romans 7:21
%
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
		 -- Romans 7:22
%
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind,
and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
		 -- Romans 7:23
%
O wretched man that I am!  who shall deliver me from the body of this
death?
		 -- Romans 7:24
%
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.  So then with the mind I
myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
		 -- Romans 7:25
%
THERE is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
		 -- Romans 8:1
%
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from
the law of sin and death.
		 -- Romans 8:2
%
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh,
God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh:
		 -- Romans 8:3
%
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk
not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
		 -- Romans 8:4
%
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh;
but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
		 -- Romans 8:5
%
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace.
		 -- Romans 8:6
%
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be.
		 -- Romans 8:7
%
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
		 -- Romans 8:8
%
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit
of God dwell in you.  Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,
he is none of his.
		 -- Romans 8:9
%
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit
is life because of righteousness.
		 -- Romans 8:10
%
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal
bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
		 -- Romans 8:11
%
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after
the flesh.
		 -- Romans 8:12
%
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the
Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
		 -- Romans 8:13
%
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
		 -- Romans 8:14
%
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye
have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
		 -- Romans 8:15
%
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the
children of God:
		 -- Romans 8:16
%
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;
if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
		 -- Romans 8:17
%
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to
be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
		 -- Romans 8:18
%
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation
of the sons of God.
		 -- Romans 8:19
%
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason
of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
		 -- Romans 8:20
%
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of
corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
		 -- Romans 8:21
%
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain
together until now.
		 -- Romans 8:22
%
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of
the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
		 -- Romans 8:23
%
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what
a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
		 -- Romans 8:24
%
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
		 -- Romans 8:25
%
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what
we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
		 -- Romans 8:26
%
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit,
because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will
of God.
		 -- Romans 8:27
%
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to his purpose.
		 -- Romans 8:28
%
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to
the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
		 -- Romans 8:29
%
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he
called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also
glorified.
		 -- Romans 8:30
%
What shall we then say to these things?  If God be for us, who can be
against us?
		 -- Romans 8:31
%
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how
shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
		 -- Romans 8:32
%
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?  It is God that
justifieth.
		 -- Romans 8:33
%
Who is he that condemneth?  It is Christ that died, yea rather, that
is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh
intercession for us.
		 -- Romans 8:34
%
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?	shall tribulation,
or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
		 -- Romans 8:35
%
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are
accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
		 -- Romans 8:36
%
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that
loved us.
		 -- Romans 8:37
%
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
		 -- Romans 8:38
%
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
		 -- Romans 8:39
%
I SAY the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me
witness in the Holy Ghost,
		 -- Romans 9:1
%
That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
		 -- Romans 9:2
%
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren,
my kinsmen according to the flesh:
		 -- Romans 9:3
%
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory,
and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God,
and the promises;
		 -- Romans 9:4
%
Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came,
who is over all, God blessed for ever.	Amen.
		 -- Romans 9:5
%
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect.  For they are not
all Israel, which are of Israel:
		 -- Romans 9:6
%
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children:
but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
		 -- Romans 9:7
%
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the
children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
		 -- Romans 9:8
%
For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara
shall have a son.
		 -- Romans 9:9
%
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by
our father Isaac;
		 -- Romans 9:10
%
(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or
evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of
works, but of him that calleth;)
		 -- Romans 9:11
%
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
		 -- Romans 9:12
%
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
		 -- Romans 9:13
%
What shall we say then?  Is there unrighteousness with God?  God forbid.
		 -- Romans 9:14
%
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
		 -- Romans 9:15
%
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of
God that sheweth mercy.
		 -- Romans 9:16
%
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have
I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name
might be declared throughout all the earth.
		 -- Romans 9:17
%
Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will
he hardeneth.
		 -- Romans 9:18
%
Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault?  For who hath
resisted his will?
		 -- Romans 9:19
%
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?  Shall the thing
formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
		 -- Romans 9:20
%
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one
vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
		 -- Romans 9:21
%
What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known,
endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to
destruction:
		 -- Romans 9:22
%
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of
mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
		 -- Romans 9:23
%
Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the
Gentiles?
		 -- Romans 9:24
%
As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my
people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
		 -- Romans 9:25
%
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them,
Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the
living God.
		 -- Romans 9:26
%
Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children
of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
		 -- Romans 9:27
%
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because
a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
		 -- Romans 9:28
%
And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed,
we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
		 -- Romans 9:29
%
What shall we say then?  That the Gentiles, which followed not after
righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness
which is of faith.
		 -- Romans 9:30
%
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not
attained to the law of righteousness.
		 -- Romans 9:31
%
Wherefore?  Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the
works of the law.  For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
		 -- Romans 9:32
%
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of
offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
		 -- Romans 9:33
%
BRETHREN, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they
might be saved.
		 -- Romans 10:1
%
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according
to knowledge.
		 -- Romans 10:2
%
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to
establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto
the righteousness of God.
		 -- Romans 10:3
%
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that
believeth.
		 -- Romans 10:4
%
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the
man which doeth those things shall live by them.
		 -- Romans 10:5
%
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not
in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?  (that is, to bring Christ
down from above:)
		 -- Romans 10:6
%
Or, Who shall descend into the deep?  (that is, to bring up Christ again
from the dead.)
		 -- Romans 10:7
%
But what saith it?  The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in
thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
		 -- Romans 10:8
%
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved.
		 -- Romans 10:9
%
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
		 -- Romans 10:10
%
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
		 -- Romans 10:11
%
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same
Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
		 -- Romans 10:12
%
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
		 -- Romans 10:13
%
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?  and how
shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?	and how shall
they hear without a preacher?
		 -- Romans 10:14
%
And how shall they preach, except they be sent?  as it is written,
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace,
and bring glad tidings of good things!
		 -- Romans 10:15
%
But they have not all obeyed the gospel.  For Esaias saith, Lord, who
hath believed our report?
		 -- Romans 10:16
%
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
		 -- Romans 10:17
%
But I say, Have they not heard?  Yes verily, their sound went into all
the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
		 -- Romans 10:18
%
But I say, Did not Israel know?  First Moses saith, I will provoke you
to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will
anger you.
		 -- Romans 10:19
%
But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me
not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
		 -- Romans 10:20
%
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands
unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
		 -- Romans 10:21
%
I SAY then, Hath God cast away his people?  God forbid.  For I also am
an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
		 -- Romans 11:1
%
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.  Wot ye not what
the scripture saith of Elias?  how he maketh intercession to God against
Israel, saying,
		 -- Romans 11:2
%
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars;
and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
		 -- Romans 11:3
%
But what saith the answer of God unto him?  I have reserved to myself
seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
		 -- Romans 11:4
%
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to
the election of grace.
		 -- Romans 11:5
%
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no
more grace.  But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise
work is no more work.
		 -- Romans 11:6
%
What then?  Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the
election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
		 -- Romans 11:7
%
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber,
eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;)
unto this day.
		 -- Romans 11:8
%
And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a
stumbling block, and a recompence unto them:
		 -- Romans 11:9
%
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their
back alway.
		 -- Romans 11:10
%
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall?  God forbid:
but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles,
for to provoke them to jealousy.
		 -- Romans 11:11
%
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing
of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
		 -- Romans 11:12
%
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles,
I magnify mine office:
		 -- Romans 11:13
%
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh,
and might save some of them.
		 -- Romans 11:14
%
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what
shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
		 -- Romans 11:15
%
For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root
be holy, so are the branches.
		 -- Romans 11:16
%
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive
tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root
and fatness of the olive tree;
		 -- Romans 11:17
%
Boast not against the branches.  But if thou boast, thou bearest not
the root, but the root thee.
		 -- Romans 11:18
%
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be
graffed in.
		 -- Romans 11:19
%
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest
by faith.  Be not highminded, but fear:
		 -- Romans 11:20
%
For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare
not thee.
		 -- Romans 11:21
%
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell,
severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness:
otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
		 -- Romans 11:22
%
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in:
for God is able to graff them in again.
		 -- Romans 11:23
%
For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature,
and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much
more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their
own olive tree?
		 -- Romans 11:24
%
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is
happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
		 -- Romans 11:25
%
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come
out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
		 -- Romans 11:26
%
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
		 -- Romans 11:27
%
As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching
the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
		 -- Romans 11:28
%
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
		 -- Romans 11:29
%
For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained
mercy through their unbelief:
		 -- Romans 11:30
%
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they
also may obtain mercy.
		 -- Romans 11:31
%
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy
upon all.
		 -- Romans 11:32
%
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
		 -- Romans 11:33
%
For who hath known the mind of the Lord?  or who hath been his counsellor?
		 -- Romans 11:34
%
Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him
again?
		 -- Romans 11:35
%
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be
glory for ever.  Amen.
		 -- Romans 11:36
%
I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service.
		 -- Romans 12:1
%
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.
		 -- Romans 12:2
%
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among
you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but
to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure
of faith.
		 -- Romans 12:3
%
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the
same office:
		 -- Romans 12:4
%
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one
of another.
		 -- Romans 12:5
%
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us,
whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
		 -- Romans 12:6
%
Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth,
on teaching;
		 -- Romans 12:7
%
Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it
with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy,
with cheerfulness.
		 -- Romans 12:8
%
Let love be without dissimulation.  Abhor that which is evil; cleave to
that which is good.
		 -- Romans 12:9
%
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour
preferring one another;
		 -- Romans 12:10
%
Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
		 -- Romans 12:11
%
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
		 -- Romans 12:12
%
Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
		 -- Romans 12:13
%
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
		 -- Romans 12:14
%
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
		 -- Romans 12:15
%
Be of the same mind one toward another.  Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate.  Be not wise in your own conceits.
		 -- Romans 12:16
%
Recompense to no man evil for evil.  Provide things honest in the sight
of all men.
		 -- Romans 12:17
%
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
		 -- Romans 12:18
%
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath:
for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
		 -- Romans 12:19
%
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink:
for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
		 -- Romans 12:20
%
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
		 -- Romans 12:21
%
LET every soul be subject unto the higher powers.  For there is no power
but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
		 -- Romans 13:1
%
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God:
and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
		 -- Romans 13:2
%
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.  Wilt thou
then not be afraid of the power?  do that which is good, and thou shalt
have praise of the same:
		 -- Romans 13:3
%
For he is the minister of God to thee for good.  But if thou do that which
is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the
minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
		 -- Romans 13:4
%
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for
conscience sake.
		 -- Romans 13:5
%
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers,
attending continually upon this very thing.
		 -- Romans 13:6
%
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
		 -- Romans 13:7
%
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another
hath fulfilled the law.
		 -- Romans 13:8
%
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt
not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet;
and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in
this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
		 -- Romans 13:9
%
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling
of the law.
		 -- Romans 13:10
%
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of
sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
		 -- Romans 13:11
%
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.
		 -- Romans 13:12
%
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness,
not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
		 -- Romans 13:13
%
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh,
to fulfil the lusts thereof.
		 -- Romans 13:14
%
HIM that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful
disputations.
		 -- Romans 14:1
%
For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak,
eateth herbs.
		 -- Romans 14:2
%
Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him
which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
		 -- Romans 14:3
%
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant?  to his own master he
standeth or falleth.  Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to
make him stand.
		 -- Romans 14:4
%
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day
alike.	Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
		 -- Romans 14:5
%
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that
regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.  He that eateth,
eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not,
to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
		 -- Romans 14:6
%
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
		 -- Romans 14:7
%
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die
unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
		 -- Romans 14:8
%
For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might
be Lord both of the dead and living.
		 -- Romans 14:9
%
But why dost thou judge thy brother?  or why dost thou set at nought
thy brother?  for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
		 -- Romans 14:10
%
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess to God.
		 -- Romans 14:11
%
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
		 -- Romans 14:12
%
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather,
that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's
way.
		 -- Romans 14:13
%
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean
of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it
is unclean.
		 -- Romans 14:14
%
But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not
charitably.  Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
		 -- Romans 14:15
%
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
		 -- Romans 14:16
%
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and
peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
		 -- Romans 14:17
%
For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and
approved of men.
		 -- Romans 14:18
%
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things
wherewith one may edify another.
		 -- Romans 14:19
%
For meat destroy not the work of God.  All things indeed are pure;
but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
		 -- Romans 14:20
%
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby
thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
		 -- Romans 14:21
%
Hast thou faith?  have it to thyself before God.  Happy is he that
condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
		 -- Romans 14:22
%
And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith:
for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
		 -- Romans 14:23
%
WE then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak,
and not to please ourselves.
		 -- Romans 15:1
%
Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
		 -- Romans 15:2
%
For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches
of them that reproached thee fell on me.
		 -- Romans 15:3
%
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our
learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might
have hope.
		 -- Romans 15:4
%
Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one
toward another according to Christ Jesus:
		 -- Romans 15:5
%
That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- Romans 15:6
%
Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the
glory of God.
		 -- Romans 15:7
%
Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the
truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
		 -- Romans 15:8
%
And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written,
For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto
thy name.
		 -- Romans 15:9
%
And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
		 -- Romans 15:10
%
And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
		 -- Romans 15:11
%
And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that
shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
		 -- Romans 15:12
%
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
		 -- Romans 15:13
%
And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full
of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
		 -- Romans 15:14
%
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some
sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me
of God,
		 -- Romans 15:15
%
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,
ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles
might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
		 -- Romans 15:16
%
I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things
which pertain to God.
		 -- Romans 15:17
%
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath
not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
		 -- Romans 15:18
%
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God;
so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully
preached the gospel of Christ.
		 -- Romans 15:19
%
Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named,
lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
		 -- Romans 15:20
%
But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see:
and they that have not heard shall understand.
		 -- Romans 15:21
%
For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
		 -- Romans 15:22
%
But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire
these many years to come unto you;
		 -- Romans 15:23
%
Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust
to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you,
if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
		 -- Romans 15:24
%
But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
		 -- Romans 15:25
%
For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain
contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
		 -- Romans 15:26
%
It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are.  For if the
Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty
is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
		 -- Romans 15:27
%
When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit,
I will come by you into Spain.
		 -- Romans 15:28
%
And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness
of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
		 -- Romans 15:29
%
Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for
the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers
to God for me;
		 -- Romans 15:30
%
That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and
that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
		 -- Romans 15:31
%
That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you
be refreshed.
		 -- Romans 15:32
%
Now the God of peace be with you all.  Amen.
		 -- Romans 15:33
%
I COMMEND unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church
which is at Cenchrea:
		 -- Romans 16:1
%
That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist
her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a
succourer of many, and of myself also.
		 -- Romans 16:2
%
Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
		 -- Romans 16:3
%
Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I
give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
		 -- Romans 16:4
%
Likewise greet the church that is in their house.  Salute my wellbeloved
Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
		 -- Romans 16:5
%
Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
		 -- Romans 16:6
%
Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who
are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
		 -- Romans 16:7
%
Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
		 -- Romans 16:8
%
Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
		 -- Romans 16:9
%
Salute Apelles approved in Christ.  Salute them which are of Aristobulus'
household.
		 -- Romans 16:10
%
Salute Herodion my kinsman.  Greet them that be of the household of
Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
		 -- Romans 16:11
%
Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord.  Salute the beloved
Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.
		 -- Romans 16:12
%
Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
		 -- Romans 16:13
%
Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren
which are with them.
		 -- Romans 16:14
%
Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas,
and all the saints which are with them.
		 -- Romans 16:15
%
Salute one another with an holy kiss.  The churches of Christ salute you.
		 -- Romans 16:16
%
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences
contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
		 -- Romans 16:17
%
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own
belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the
simple.
		 -- Romans 16:18
%
For your obedience is come abroad unto all men.  I am glad therefore
on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good,
and simple concerning evil.
		 -- Romans 16:19
%
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  Amen.
		 -- Romans 16:20
%
Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen,
salute you.
		 -- Romans 16:21
%
I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
		 -- Romans 16:22
%
Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you.  Erastus the
chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
		 -- Romans 16:23
%
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.  Amen.
		 -- Romans 16:24
%
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel,
and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the
mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
		 -- Romans 16:25
%
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all
nations for the obedience of faith:
		 -- Romans 16:26
%
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever.  Amen.
		 -- Romans 16:27
%
PAUL, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God,
and Sosthenes our brother,
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:1
%
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified
in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call
upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:2
%
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord
Jesus Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:3
%
I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is
given you by Jesus Christ;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:4
%
That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in
all knowledge;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:5
%
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:6
%
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:7
%
Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in
the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:8
%
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son
Jesus Christ our Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:9
%
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you;
but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the
same judgment.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:10
%
For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which
are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:11
%
Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of
Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:12
%
Is Christ divided?  was Paul crucified for you?  or were ye baptized in
the name of Paul?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:13
%
I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:14
%
Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:15
%
And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not
whether I baptized any other.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:16
%
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with
wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:17
%
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:18
%
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring
to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:19
%
Where is the wise?  where is the scribe?  where is the disputer of
this world?  hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:20
%
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God,
it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:21
%
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:22
%
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto
the Greeks foolishness;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:23
%
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power
of God, and the wisdom of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:24
%
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of
God is stronger than men.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:25
%
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the
flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:26
%
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;
and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things
which are mighty;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:27
%
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God
chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:28
%
That no flesh should glory in his presence.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:29
%
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom,
and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:30
%
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in
the Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 1:31
%
AND I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech
or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:1
%
For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ,
and him crucified.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:2
%
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:3
%
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's
wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:4
%
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power
of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:5
%
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom
of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:6
%
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom,
which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:7
%
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it,
they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:8
%
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for
them that love him.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:9
%
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth
all things, yea, the deep things of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:10
%
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is
in him?  even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:11
%
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is
of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:12
%
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with
spiritual.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:13
%
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:14
%
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged
of no man.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:15
%
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 2:16
%
AND I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto
carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:1
%
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not
able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:2
%
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife,
and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:3
%
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye
not carnal?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:4
%
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed,
even as the Lord gave to every man?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:5
%
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:6
%
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth;
but God that giveth the increase.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:7
%
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall
receive his own reward according to his own labour.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:8
%
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are
God's building.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:9
%
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise
masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon.
But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:10
%
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:11
%
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones,
wood, hay, stubble;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:12
%
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it,
because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's
work of what sort it is.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:13
%
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive
a reward.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:14
%
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself
shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:15
%
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:16
%
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the
temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:17
%
Let no man deceive himself.  If any man among you seemeth to be wise in
this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:18
%
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.  For it is written,
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:19
%
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:20
%
Therefore let no man glory in men.  For all things are yours;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:21
%
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death,
or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:22
%
And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 3:23
%
LET a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards
of the mysteries of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:1
%
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:2
%
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you,
or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:3
%
For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that
judgeth me is the Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:4
%
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both
will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest
the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:5
%
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself
and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think
of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for
one against another.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:6
%
For who maketh thee to differ from another?  and what hast thou that thou
didst not receive?  now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory,
as if thou hadst not received it?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:7
%
Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us:
and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:8
%
For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were
appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to
angels, and to men.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:9
%
We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak,
but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:10
%
Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked,
and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:11
%
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being
persecuted, we suffer it:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:12
%
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and
are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:13
%
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:14
%
For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not
many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:15
%
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:16
%
For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son,
and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my
ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:17
%
Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:18
%
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not
the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:19
%
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:20
%
What will ye?  shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the
spirit of meekness?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 4:21
%
IT is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such
fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one
should have his father's wife.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:1
%
And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath
done this deed might be taken away from among you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:2
%
For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged
already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done
this deed,
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:3
%
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together,
and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:4
%
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh,
that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:5
%
Your glorying is not good.  Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth
the whole lump?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:6
%
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye
are unleavened.  For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:7
%
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with
the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of
sincerity and truth.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:8
%
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:9
%
Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the
covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go
out of the world.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:10
%
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that
is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a
railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:11
%
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without?  do not ye
judge them that are within?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:12
%
But them that are without God judgeth.	Therefore put away from among
yourselves that wicked person.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 5:13
%
DARE any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the
unjust, and not before the saints?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:1
%
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?  and if the world
shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:2
%
Know ye not that we shall judge angels?  how much more things that
pertain to this life?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:3
%
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them
to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:4
%
I speak to your shame.	Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you?
no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:5
%
But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:6
%
Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law
one with another.  Why do ye not rather take wrong?  why do ye not rather
suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:7
%
Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:8
%
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:9
%
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:10
%
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified,
but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit
of our God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:11
%
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all
things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power
of any.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:12
%
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both
it and them.  Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord;
and the Lord for the body.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:13
%
And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his
own power.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:14
%
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?  shall I then
take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot?
God forbid.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:15
%
What?  know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body?
for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:16
%
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:17
%
Flee fornication.  Every sin that a man doeth is without the body;
but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:18
%
What?  know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which
is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:19
%
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit, which are God's.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 6:20
%
NOW concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a
man not to touch a woman.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:1
%
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife,
and let every woman have her own husband.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:2
%
Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also
the wife unto the husband.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:3
%
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise
also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:4
%
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that
ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again,
that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:5
%
But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:6
%
For I would that all men were even as I myself.  But every man hath his
proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:7
%
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they
abide even as I.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:8
%
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry
than to burn.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:9
%
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the
wife depart from her husband:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:10
%
But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to
her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:11
%
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that
believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put
her away.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:12
%
And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be
pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:13
%
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving
wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean;
but now are they holy.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:14
%
But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart.	A brother or a sister
is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:15
%
For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband?
or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:16
%
But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every
one, so let him walk.  And so ordain I in all churches.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:17
%
Is any man called being circumcised?  let him not become uncircumcised.
Is any called in uncircumcision?  let him not be circumcised.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:18
%
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping
of the commandments of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:19
%
Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:20
%
Art thou called being a servant?  care not for it: but if thou mayest
be made free, use it rather.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:21
%
For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman:
likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:22
%
Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:23
%
Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:24
%
Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my
judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:25
%
I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say,
that it is good for a man so to be.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:26
%
Art thou bound unto a wife?  seek not to be loosed.  Art thou loosed
from a wife?  seek not a wife.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:27
%
But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry,
she hath not sinned.  Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh:
but I spare you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:28
%
But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both
they that have wives be as though they had none;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:29
%
And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as
though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:30
%
And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this
world passeth away.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:31
%
But I would have you without carefulness.  He that is unmarried careth
for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:32
%
But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world,
how he may please his wife.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:33
%
There is difference also between a wife and a virgin.  The unmarried woman
careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and
in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world,
how she may please her husband.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:34
%
And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon
you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord
without distraction.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:35
%
But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin,
if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what
he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:36
%
Nevertheless, he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity,
but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that
he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:37
%
So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth
her not in marriage doeth better.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:38
%
The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if
her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will;
only in the Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:39
%
But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also
that I have the Spirit of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 7:40
%
NOW as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have
knowledge.  Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:1
%
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet
as he ought to know.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:2
%
But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:3
%
As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered
in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world,
and that there is none other God but one.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:4
%
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth,
(as there be gods many, and lords many,)
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:5
%
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we
in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:6
%
Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience
of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol;
and their conscience being weak is defiled.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:7
%
But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the
better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:8
%
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a
stumblingblock to them that are weak.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:9
%
For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's
temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to
eat those things which are offered to idols;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:10
%
And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom
Christ died?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:11
%
But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience,
ye sin against Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:12
%
Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while
the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 8:13
%
AM I not an apostle?  am I not free?  have I not seen Jesus Christ
our Lord?  are not ye my work in the Lord?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:1
%
If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the
seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:2
%
Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:3
%
Have we not power to eat and to drink?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:4
%
Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other
apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:5
%
Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:6
%
Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges?  who planteth a vineyard,
and eateth not of the fruit thereof?  or who feedeth a flock, and eateth
not of the milk of the flock?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:7
%
Say I these things as a man?  or saith not the law the same also?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:8
%
For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth
of the ox that treadeth out the corn.  Doth God take care for oxen?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:9
%
Or saith he it altogether for our sakes?  For our sakes, no doubt, this
is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that
thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:10
%
If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we
shall reap your carnal things?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:11
%
If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather?
Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest
we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:12
%
Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the
things of the temple?  and they which wait at the alter are partakers
with the alter?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:13
%
Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should
live of the gospel.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:14
%
But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things,
that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die,
than that any man should make my glorying void.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:15
%
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity
is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:16
%
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will,
a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:17
%
What is my reward then?  Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may
make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in
the gospel.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:18
%
For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto
all, that I might gain the more.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:19
%
And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them
that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that
are under the law;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:20
%
To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law
to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are
without law.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:21
%
To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all
things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:22
%
And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof
with you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:23
%
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth
the prize?  So run, that ye may obtain.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:24
%
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.
Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:25
%
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that
beateth the air:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:26
%
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by
any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 9:27
%
MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that
all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:1
%
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:2
%
And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:3
%
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that
spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:4
%
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown
in the wilderness.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:5
%
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust
after evil things, as they also lusted.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:6
%
Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The
people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:7
%
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell
in one day three and twenty thousand.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:8
%
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were
destroyed of serpents.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:9
%
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of
the destroyer.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:10
%
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are
written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:11
%
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:12
%
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but
God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye
are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that
ye may be able to bear it.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:13
%
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:14
%
I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:15
%
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood
of Christ?  The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the
body of Christ?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:16
%
For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers
of that one bread.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:17
%
Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices
partakers of the alter?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:18
%
What say I then?  that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered
in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:19
%
But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice
to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship
with devils.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:20
%
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot
be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:21
%
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?  are we stronger than he?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:22
%
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all
things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:23
%
Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:24
%
Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for
conscience sake:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:25
%
For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:26
%
If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to
go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience
sake.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:27
%
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols,
eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the
earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:28
%
Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty
judged of another man's conscience?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:29
%
For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for
which I give thanks?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:30
%
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the
glory of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:31
%
Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the
church of God:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:32
%
Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit,
but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 10:33
%
BE ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:1
%
Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep
the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:2
%
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and
the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:3
%
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth
his head.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:4
%
But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered
dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:5
%
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a
shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:6
%
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the
image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:7
%
For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:8
%
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:9
%
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of
the angels.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:10
%
Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman
without the man, in the Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:11
%
For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman;
but all things of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:12
%
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:13
%
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair,
it is a shame unto him?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:14
%
But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is
given her for a covering.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:15
%
But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither
the churches of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:16
%
Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come
together not for the better, but for the worse.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:17
%
For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there
be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:18
%
For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved
may be made manifest among you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:19
%
When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the
Lord's supper.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:20
%
For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is
hungry, and another is drunken.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:21
%
What?  have ye not houses to eat and to drink in?  or despise ye the
church of God, and shame them that have not?  What shall I say to you?
shall I praise you in this?  I praise you not.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:22
%
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you,
That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:23
%
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is
my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:24
%
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye
drink it, in remembrance of me.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:25
%
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the
Lord's death till he come.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:26
%
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord,
unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:27
%
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:28
%
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation
to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:29
%
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:30
%
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:31
%
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should
not be condemned with the world.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:32
%
Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for
another.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:33
%
And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together
unto condemnation.  And the rest will I set in order when I come.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 11:34
%
NOW concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:1
%
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols,
even as ye were led.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:2
%
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit
of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is
the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:3
%
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:4
%
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:5
%
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which
worketh all in all.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:6
%
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit
withal.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:7
%
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the
word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:8
%
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by
the same Spirit;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:9
%
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another
discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another
the interpretation of tongues:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:10
%
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to
every man severally as he will.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:11
%
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of
that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:12
%
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews
or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink
into one Spirit.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:13
%
For the body is not one member, but many.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:14
%
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body;
is it therefore not of the body?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:15
%
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body;
is it therefore not of the body?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:16
%
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing?	If the whole
were hearing, where were the smelling?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:17
%
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it
hath pleased him.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:18
%
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:19
%
But now are they many members, yet but one body.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:20
%
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again
the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:21
%
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble,
are necessary:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:22
%
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable,
upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have
more abundant comeliness.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:23
%
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body
together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:24
%
That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should
have the same care one for another.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:25
%
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one
member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:26
%
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:27
%
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps,
governments, diversities of tongues.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:28
%
Are all apostles?  are all prophets?  are all teachers?  are all workers
of miracles?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:29
%
Have all the gifts of healing?	do all speak with tongues?  do all
interpret?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:30
%
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more
excellent way.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 12:31
%
THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not
charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:1
%
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove
mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:2
%
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my
body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:3
%
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth
not itself, is not puffed up,
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:4
%
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:5
%
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:6
%
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth
all things.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:7
%
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;
whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge,
it shall vanish away.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:8
%
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:9
%
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall
be done away.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:10
%
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:11
%
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I
know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:12
%
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of
these is charity.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 13:13
%
FOLLOW after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye
may prophesy.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:1
%
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men,
but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he
speaketh mysteries.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:2
%
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation,
and comfort.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:3
%
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that
prophesieth edifieth the church.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:4
%
I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied:
for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues,
except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:5
%
Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall
I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by
knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:6
%
And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except
they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is
piped or harped?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:7
%
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself
to the battle?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:8
%
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood,
how shall it be known what is spoken?  for ye shall speak into the air.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:9
%
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of
them is without signification.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:10
%
Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that
speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:11
%
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that
ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:12
%
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may
interpret.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:13
%
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my
understanding is unfruitful.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:14
%
What is it then?  I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the
understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with
the understanding also.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:15
%
Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth
the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he
understandeth not what thou sayest?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:16
%
For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:17
%
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:18
%
Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding,
that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in
an unknown tongue.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:19
%
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye
children, but in understanding be men.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:20
%
In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will
I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me,
saith the Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:21
%
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them
that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not,
but for them which believe.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:22
%
If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and
all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned,
or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:23
%
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one
unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:24
%
And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down
on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:25
%
How is it then, brethren?  when ye come together, every one of you
hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath
an interpretation.  Let all things be done unto edifying.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:26
%
If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most
by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:27
%
But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church;
and let him speak to himself, and to God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:28
%
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:29
%
If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold
his peace.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:30
%
For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may
be comforted.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:31
%
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:32
%
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches
of the saints.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:33
%
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted
unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as
also saith the law.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:34
%
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home:
for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:35
%
What?  came the word of God out from you?  or came it unto you only?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:36
%
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him
acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments
of the Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:37
%
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:38
%
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with
tongues.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:39
%
Let all things be done decently and in order.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 14:40
%
MOREOVER, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto
you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:1
%
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
unless ye have believed in vain.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:2
%
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how
that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:3
%
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according
to the scriptures:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:4
%
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:5
%
After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom
the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:6
%
After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:7
%
And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:8
%
For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an
apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:9
%
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed
upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all:
yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:10
%
Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:11
%
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among
you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:12
%
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:13
%
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith
is also vain.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:14
%
Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified
of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that
the dead rise not.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:15
%
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:16
%
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:17
%
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:18
%
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most
miserable.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:19
%
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of
them that slept.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:20
%
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of
the dead.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:21
%
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:22
%
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they
that are Christ's at his coming.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:23
%
Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God,
even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority
and power.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:24
%
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:25
%
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:26
%
For he hath put all things under his feet.  But when he saith all things
are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put
all things under him.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:27
%
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also
himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may
be all in all.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:28
%
Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead
rise not at all?  why are they then baptized for the dead?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:29
%
And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:30
%
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord,
I die daily.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:31
%
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what
advantageth it me, if the dead rise not?  let us eat and drink; for to
morrow we die.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:32
%
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:33
%
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of
God: I speak this to your shame.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:34
%
But some man will say, How are the dead raised up?  and with what body
do they come?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:35
%
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:36
%
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be,
but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:37
%
But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his
own body.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:38
%
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men,
another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:39
%
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory
of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:40
%
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another
glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:41
%
So also is the resurrection of the dead.  It is sown in corruption;
it is raised in incorruption:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:42
%
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness;
it is raised in power:
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:43
%
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.  There is a
natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:44
%
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the
last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:45
%
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural;
and afterward that which is spiritual.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:46
%
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord
from heaven.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:47
%
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the
heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:48
%
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:49
%
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom
of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:50
%
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all
be changed,
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:51
%
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:52
%
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:53
%
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal
shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying
that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:54
%
O death, where is thy sting?  O grave, where is thy victory?
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:55
%
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:56
%
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:57
%
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour
is not in vain in the Lord.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 15:58
%
NOW concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to
the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:1
%
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store,
as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:2
%
And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will
I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:3
%
And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:4
%
Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do
pass through Macedonia.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:5
%
And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may
bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:6
%
For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with
you, if the Lord permit.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:7
%
But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:8
%
For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many
adversaries.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:9
%
Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he
worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:10
%
Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that
he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:11
%
As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you
with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time;
but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:12
%
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:13
%
Let all your things be done with charity.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:14
%
I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is
the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to
the ministry of the saints,)
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:15
%
That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with
us, and laboureth.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:16
%
I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for
that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:17
%
For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye
them that are such.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:18
%
The churches of Asia salute you.  Aquila and Priscilla salute you much
in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:19
%
All the brethren greet you.  Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:20
%
The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:21
%
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:22
%
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:23
%
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.  Amen.
		 -- 1 Corinthians 16:24
%
PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our
brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints
which are in all Achaia:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:1
%
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus
Christ.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:2
%
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
mercies, and the God of all comfort;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:3
%
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort
them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves
are comforted of God.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:4
%
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also
aboundeth by Christ.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:5
%
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation,
which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we
also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation
and salvation.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:6
%
And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of
the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:7
%
For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came
to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength,
insomuch that we despaired even of life:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:8
%
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust
in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:9
%
Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we
trust that he will yet deliver us;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:10
%
Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon
us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:11
%
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in
simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace
of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly
to you-ward.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:12
%
For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge;
and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:13
%
As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing,
even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:14
%
And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye
might have a second benefit;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:15
%
And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia
unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:16
%
When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness?	or the things
that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there
should be yea yea, and nay nay?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:17
%
But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:18
%
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even
by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:19
%
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the
glory of God by us.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:20
%
Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us,
is God;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:21
%
Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our
hearts.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:22
%
Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came
not as yet unto Corinth.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:23
%
Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your
joy: for by faith ye stand.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 1:24
%
BUT I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you
in heaviness.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:1
%
For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the
same which is made sorry by me?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:2
%
And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow
from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all,
that my joy is the joy of you all.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:3
%
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with
many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the
love which I have more abundantly unto you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:4
%
But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part:
that I may not overcharge you all.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:5
%
Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:6
%
So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him,
lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:7
%
Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:8
%
For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you,
whether ye be obedient in all things.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:9
%
To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing,
to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:10
%
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of
his devices.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:11
%
Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door
was opened unto me of the Lord,
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:12
%
I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but
taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:13
%
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ,
and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:14
%
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved,
and in them that perish:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:15
%
To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the
savour of life unto life.  And who is sufficient for these things?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:16
%
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of
sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 2:17

DO we begin again to commend ourselves?  or need we, as some others,
epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:1
%
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:2
%
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ
ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living
God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:3
%
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:4
%
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of
ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:5
%
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of
the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit
giveth life.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:6
%
But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was
glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold
the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to
be done away:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:7
%
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:8
%
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the
ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:9
%
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect,
by reason of the glory that excelleth.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:10
%
For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which
remaineth is glorious.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:11
%
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:12
%
And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of
Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:13
%
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same
vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is
done away in Christ.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:14
%
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:15
%
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:16
%
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there
is liberty.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:17
%
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the
Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by
the Spirit of the Lord.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 3:18
%
THEREFORE seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy,
we faint not;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:1
%
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in
craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation
of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight
of God.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:2
%
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:3
%
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which
believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is
the image of God, should shine unto them.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:4
%
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves
your servants for Jesus' sake.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:5
%
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined
in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:6
%
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of
the power may be of God, and not of us.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:7
%
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed,
but not in despair;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:8
%
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:9
%
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the
life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:10
%
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that
the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:11
%
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:12
%
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I
believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore
speak;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:13
%
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also
by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:14
%
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through
the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:15
%
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet
the inward man is renewed day by day.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:16
%
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a
far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:17
%
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which
are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things
which are not seen are eternal.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 4:18
%
FOR we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved,
we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:1
%
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our
house which is from heaven:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:2
%
If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:3
%
For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for
that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be
swallowed up of life.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:4
%
Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath
given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:5
%
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home
in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:6
%
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:7
%
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body,
and to be present with the Lord.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:8
%
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted
of him.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:9
%
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one
may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:10
%
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made
manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:11
%
For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to
glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which
glory in appearance, and not in heart.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:12
%
For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober,
it is for your cause.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:13
%
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if
one died for all, then were all dead:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:14
%
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth
live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:15
%
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have
known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:16
%
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are become new.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:17
%
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:18
%
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the
word of reconciliation.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:19
%
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you
by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:20
%
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might
be made the righteousness of God in him.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 5:21
%
WE then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive
not the grace of God in vain.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:1
%
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day
of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.)
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:2
%
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:3
%
But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much
patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:4
%
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings,
in fastings;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:5
%
By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy
Ghost, by love unfeigned,
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:6
%
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness
on the right hand and on the left,
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:7
%
By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers,
and yet true;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:8
%
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as
chastened, and not killed;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:9
%
As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as
having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:10
%
O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:11
%
Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:12
%
Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye
also enlarged.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:13
%
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness?  and what communion hath light
with darkness?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:14
%
And what concord hath Christ with Belial?  or what part hath he that
believeth with an infidel?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:15
%
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?  for ye are the
temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and
walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:16
%
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:17
%
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 6:18
%
HAVING therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves
from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the
fear of God.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:1
%
Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have
defrauded no man.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:2
%
I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in
our hearts to die and live with you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:3
%
Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you:
I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:4
%
For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we
were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:5
%
Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted
us by the coming of Titus;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:6
%
And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was
comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning,
your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:7
%
For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I
did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry,
though it were but for a season.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:8
%
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to
repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might
receive damage by us in nothing.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:9
%
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of:
but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:10
%
For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort,
what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves,
yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea,
what zeal, yea, what revenge!  In all things ye have approved yourselves
to be clear in this matter.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:11
%
Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had
done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care
for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:12
%
Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the
more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by
you all.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:13
%
For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as
we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made
before Titus, is found a truth.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:14
%
And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he
remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye
received him.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:15
%
I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 7:16
%
MOREOVER, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on
the churches of Macedonia;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:1
%
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and
their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:2
%
For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were
willing of themselves;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:3
%
Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take
upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:4
%
And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to
the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:5
%
Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also
finish in you the same grace also.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:6
%
Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and
knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye
abound in this grace also.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:7
%
I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others,
and to prove the sincerity of your love.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:8
%
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich,
yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might
be rich.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:9
%
And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have
begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:10
%
Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to
will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:11
%
For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that
a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:12
%
For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:13
%
But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply
for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want:
that there may be equality:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:14
%
As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he
that had gathered little had no lack.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:15
%
But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of
Titus for you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:16
%
For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his
own accord he went unto you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:17
%
And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel
throughout all the churches;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:18
%
And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel
with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of
the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:19
%
Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is
administered by us:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:20
%
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also
in the sight of men.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:21
%
And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved
diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great
confidence which I have in you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:22
%
Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper
concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers
of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:23
%
Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your
love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 8:24
%
FOR as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me
to write to you:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:1
%
For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to
them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath
provoked very many.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:2
%
Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain
in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:3
%
Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we
(that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:4
%
Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would
go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had
notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty,
and not as of covetousness.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:5
%
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly;
and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:6
%
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give;
not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:7
%
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always
having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:8
%
(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor:
his righteousness remaineth for ever.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:9
%
Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your
food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your
righteousness;)
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:10
%
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through
us thanksgiving to God.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:11
%
For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of
the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:12
%
Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your
professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal
distribution unto them, and unto all men;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:13
%
And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding
grace of God in you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:14
%
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 9:15
%
NOW I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ,
who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:1
%
But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that
confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of
us as if we walked according to the flesh.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:2
%
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:3
%
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God
to the pulling down of strong holds;)
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:4
%
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought
to the obedience of Christ;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:5
%
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience
is fulfilled.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:6
%
Do ye look on things after the outward appearance?  If any man trust to
himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that,
as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:7
%
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord
hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should
not be ashamed:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:8
%
That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:9
%
For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily
presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:10
%
Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when
we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:11
%
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with
some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves,
and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:12
%
But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to
the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to
reach even unto you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:13
%
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached
not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the
gospel of Christ:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:14
%
Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's
labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall
be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:15
%
To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in
another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:16
%
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:17
%
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord
commendeth.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 10:18
%
WOULD to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear
with me.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:1
%
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you
to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:2
%
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his
subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is
in Christ.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:3
%
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached,
or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another
gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:4
%
For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:5
%
But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been
throughly made manifest among you in all things.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:6
%
Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted,
because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:7
%
I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:8
%
And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man:
for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia
supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome
unto you, and so will I keep myself.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:9
%
As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting
in the regions of Achaia.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:10
%
Wherefore?  because I love you not?  God knoweth.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:11
%
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which
desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:12
%
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves
into the apostles of Christ.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:13
%
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:14
%
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the
ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:15
%
I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool
receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:16
%
That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were
foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:17
%
Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:18
%
For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:19
%
For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if
a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:20
%
I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak.  Howbeit
whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:21
%
Are they Hebrews?  so am I.  Are they Israelites?  so am I.  Are they
the seed of Abraham?  so am I.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:22
%
Are they ministers of Christ?  (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours
more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent,
in deaths oft.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:23
%
Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:24
%
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered
shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:25
%
In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in
perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in
the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils
among false brethren;
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:26
%
In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst,
in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:27
%
Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily,
the care of all the churches.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:28
%
Who is weak, and I am not weak?  who is offended, and I burn not?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:29
%
If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine
infirmities.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:30
%
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for
evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:31
%
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the
Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:32
%
And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped
his hands.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 11:33
%
IT is not expedient for me doubtless to glory.	I will come to visions
and revelations of the Lord.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:1
%
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body,
I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
such an one caught up to the third heaven.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:2
%
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot
tell: God knoweth;)
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:3
%
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words,
which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:4
%
Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in
mine infirmities.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:5
%
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will
say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above
that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:6
%
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the
revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger
of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:7
%
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:8
%
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory
in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:9
%
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities,
in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak,
then am I strong.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:10
%
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to
have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest
apostles, though I be nothing.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:11
%
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience,
in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:12
%
For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be
that I myself was not burdensome to you?  forgive me this wrong.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:13
%
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be
burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought
not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:14
%
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more
abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:15
%
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught
you with guile.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:16
%
Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:17
%
I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother.  Did Titus make a gain of
you?  walked we not in the same spirit?  walked we not in the same steps?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:18
%
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you?  we speak before God
in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:19
%
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would,
and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be
debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings,
tumults:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:20
%
And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I
shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the
uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 12:21
%
THIS is the third time I am coming to you.  In the mouth of two or three
witnesses shall every word be established.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:1
%
I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second
time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned,
and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:2
%
Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is
not weak, but is mighty in you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:3
%
For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power
of God.  For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the
power of God toward you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:4
%
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.
Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye
be reprobates?
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:5
%
But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:6
%
Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved,
but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:7
%
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:8
%
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we
wish, even your perfection.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:9
%
Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should
use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to
edification, and not to destruction.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:10
%
Finally, brethren, farewell.  Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one
mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:11
%
Greet one another with an holy kiss.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:12
%
All the saints salute you.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:13
%
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion
of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.  Amen.
		 -- 2 Corinthians 13:14
%
PAUL, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ,
and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
		 -- Galatians 1:1
%
And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
		 -- Galatians 1:2
%
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus
Christ,
		 -- Galatians 1:3
%
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present
evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
		 -- Galatians 1:4
%
To whom be glory for ever and ever.  Amen.
		 -- Galatians 1:5
%
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the
grace of Christ unto another gospel:
		 -- Galatians 1:6
%
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would
pervert the gospel of Christ.
		 -- Galatians 1:7
%
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto
you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
		 -- Galatians 1:8
%
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel
unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
		 -- Galatians 1:9
%
For do I now persuade men, or God?  or do I seek to please men?  for if
I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
		 -- Galatians 1:10
%
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me
is not after man.
		 -- Galatians 1:11
%
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the
revelation of Jesus Christ.
		 -- Galatians 1:12
%
For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion,
how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
		 -- Galatians 1:13
%
And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own
nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
		 -- Galatians 1:14
%
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and
called me by his grace,
		 -- Galatians 1:15
%
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen;
immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
		 -- Galatians 1:16
%
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me;
but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
		 -- Galatians 1:17
%
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode
with him fifteen days.
		 -- Galatians 1:18
%
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
		 -- Galatians 1:19
%
Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
		 -- Galatians 1:20
%
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
		 -- Galatians 1:21
%
And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
		 -- Galatians 1:22
%
But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now
preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
		 -- Galatians 1:23
%
And they glorified God in me.
		 -- Galatians 1:24
%
THEN fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas,
and took Titus with me also.
		 -- Galatians 2:1
%
And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel
which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of
reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
		 -- Galatians 2:2
%
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to
be circumcised:
		 -- Galatians 2:3
%
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in
privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they
might bring us into bondage:
		 -- Galatians 2:4
%
To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth
of the gospel might continue with you.
		 -- Galatians 2:5
%
But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh
no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to
be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
		 -- Galatians 2:6
%
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision
was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
		 -- Galatians 2:7
%
(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the
circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
		 -- Galatians 2:8
%
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived
the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right
hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto
the circumcision.
		 -- Galatians 2:9
%
Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also
was forward to do.
		 -- Galatians 2:10
%
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because
he was to be blamed.
		 -- Galatians 2:11
%
For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles:
but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them
which were of the circumcision.
		 -- Galatians 2:12
%
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas
also was carried away with their dissimulation.
		 -- Galatians 2:13
%
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth
of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a
Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why
compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
		 -- Galatians 2:14
%
We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
		 -- Galatians 2:15
%
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the
faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we
might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the
law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
		 -- Galatians 2:16
%
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are
found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin?  God forbid.
		 -- Galatians 2:17
%
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a
transgressor.
		 -- Galatians 2:18
%
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
		 -- Galatians 2:19
%
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the
faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
		 -- Galatians 2:20
%
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law,
then Christ is dead in vain.
		 -- Galatians 2:21
%
O FOOLISH Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey
the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth,
crucified among you?
		 -- Galatians 3:1
%
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of
the law, or by the hearing of faith?
		 -- Galatians 3:2
%
Are ye so foolish?  having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect
by the flesh?
		 -- Galatians 3:3
%
Have ye suffered so many things in vain?  if it be yet in vain.
		 -- Galatians 3:4
%
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles
among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing
of faith?
		 -- Galatians 3:5
%
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for
righteousness.
		 -- Galatians 3:6
%
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children
of Abraham.
		 -- Galatians 3:7
%
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through
faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall
all nations be blessed.
		 -- Galatians 3:8
%
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
		 -- Galatians 3:9
%
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it
is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which
are written in the book of the law to do them.
		 -- Galatians 3:10
%
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is
evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
		 -- Galatians 3:11
%
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live
in them.
		 -- Galatians 3:12
%
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse
for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
		 -- Galatians 3:13
%
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus
Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
		 -- Galatians 3:14
%
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's
covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
		 -- Galatians 3:15
%
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.  He saith not,
And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
		 -- Galatians 3:16
%
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in
Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot
disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
		 -- Galatians 3:17
%
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God
gave it to Abraham by promise.
		 -- Galatians 3:18
%
Wherefore then serveth the law?  It was added because of transgressions,
till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was
ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
		 -- Galatians 3:19
%
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
		 -- Galatians 3:20
%
Is the law then against the promises of God?  God forbid: for if there
had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness
should have been by the law.
		 -- Galatians 3:21
%
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by
faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
		 -- Galatians 3:22
%
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the
faith which should afterwards be revealed.
		 -- Galatians 3:23
%
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we
might be justified by faith.
		 -- Galatians 3:24
%
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
		 -- Galatians 3:25
%
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
		 -- Galatians 3:26
%
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
		 -- Galatians 3:27
%
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there
is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
		 -- Galatians 3:28
%
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according
to the promise.
		 -- Galatians 3:29
%
NOW I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing
from a servant, though he be lord of all;
		 -- Galatians 4:1
%
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
		 -- Galatians 4:2
%
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements
of the world:
		 -- Galatians 4:3
%
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son,
made of a woman, made under the law,
		 -- Galatians 4:4
%
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption
of sons.
		 -- Galatians 4:5
%
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into
your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
		 -- Galatians 4:6
%
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an
heir of God through Christ.
		 -- Galatians 4:7
%
Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by
nature are no gods.
		 -- Galatians 4:8
%
But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how
turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire
again to be in bondage?
		 -- Galatians 4:9
%
Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
		 -- Galatians 4:10
%
I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
		 -- Galatians 4:11
%
Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not
injured me at all.
		 -- Galatians 4:12
%
Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto
you at the first.
		 -- Galatians 4:13
%
And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected;
but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
		 -- Galatians 4:14
%
Where is then the blessedness ye spake of?  for I bear you record, that,
if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and
have given them to me.
		 -- Galatians 4:15
%
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
		 -- Galatians 4:16
%
They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you,
that ye might affect them.
		 -- Galatians 4:17
%
But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not
only when I am present with you.
		 -- Galatians 4:18
%
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be
formed in you,
		 -- Galatians 4:19
%
I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand
in doubt of you.
		 -- Galatians 4:20
%
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
		 -- Galatians 4:21
%
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid,
the other by a freewoman.
		 -- Galatians 4:22
%
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the
freewoman was by promise.
		 -- Galatians 4:23
%
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one
from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
		 -- Galatians 4:24
%
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which
now is, and is in bondage with her children.
		 -- Galatians 4:25
%
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
		 -- Galatians 4:26
%
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and
cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children
than she which hath an husband.
		 -- Galatians 4:27
%
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
		 -- Galatians 4:28
%
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was
born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
		 -- Galatians 4:29
%
Nevertheless what saith the scripture?	Cast out the bondwoman and her
son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of
the freewoman.
		 -- Galatians 4:30
%
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
		 -- Galatians 4:31
%
STAND fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,
and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
		 -- Galatians 5:1
%
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall
profit you nothing.
		 -- Galatians 5:2
%
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor
to do the whole law.
		 -- Galatians 5:3
%
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified
by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
		 -- Galatians 5:4
%
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
		 -- Galatians 5:5
%
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor
uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
		 -- Galatians 5:6
%
Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
		 -- Galatians 5:7
%
This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
		 -- Galatians 5:8
%
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
		 -- Galatians 5:9
%
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise
minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever
he be.
		 -- Galatians 5:10
%
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer
persecution?  then is the offence of the cross ceased.
		 -- Galatians 5:11
%
I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
		 -- Galatians 5:12
%
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty
for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
		 -- Galatians 5:13
%
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
		 -- Galatians 5:14
%
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed
one of another.
		 -- Galatians 5:15
%
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust
of the flesh.
		 -- Galatians 5:16
%
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot
do the things that ye would.
		 -- Galatians 5:17
%
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
		 -- Galatians 5:18
%
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
		 -- Galatians 5:19
%
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife,
seditions, heresies,
		 -- Galatians 5:20
%
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which
I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which
do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
		 -- Galatians 5:21
%
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith,
		 -- Galatians 5:22
%
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
		 -- Galatians 5:23
%
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections
and lusts.
		 -- Galatians 5:24
%
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
		 -- Galatians 5:25
%
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying
one another.
		 -- Galatians 5:26
%
BRETHREN, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual,
restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself,
lest thou also be tempted.
		 -- Galatians 6:1
%
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
		 -- Galatians 6:2
%
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he
deceiveth himself.
		 -- Galatians 6:3
%
But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing
in himself alone, and not in another.
		 -- Galatians 6:4
%
For every man shall bear his own burden.
		 -- Galatians 6:5
%
Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth
in all good things.
		 -- Galatians 6:6
%
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap.
		 -- Galatians 6:7
%
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but
he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
		 -- Galatians 6:8
%
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap,
if we faint not.
		 -- Galatians 6:9
%
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially
unto them who are of the household of faith.
		 -- Galatians 6:10
%
Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
		 -- Galatians 6:11
%
As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you
to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the
cross of Christ.
		 -- Galatians 6:12
%
For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire
to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
		 -- Galatians 6:13
%
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
		 -- Galatians 6:14
%
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creature.
		 -- Galatians 6:15
%
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy,
and upon the Israel of God.
		 -- Galatians 6:16
%
From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks
of the Lord Jesus.
		 -- Galatians 6:17
%
Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.  Amen.

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which
are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
		 -- Ephesians 1:1
%
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord
Jesus Christ.
		 -- Ephesians 1:2
%
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed
us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
		 -- Ephesians 1:3
%
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
		 -- Ephesians 1:4
%
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ
to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
		 -- Ephesians 1:5
%
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted
in the beloved.
		 -- Ephesians 1:6
%
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;
		 -- Ephesians 1:7
%
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
		 -- Ephesians 1:8
%
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good
pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
		 -- Ephesians 1:9
%
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together
in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on
earth; even in him:
		 -- Ephesians 1:10
%
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel
of his own will:
		 -- Ephesians 1:11
%
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
		 -- Ephesians 1:12
%
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were
sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
		 -- Ephesians 1:13
%
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the
purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
		 -- Ephesians 1:14
%
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and
love unto all the saints,
		 -- Ephesians 1:15
%
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
		 -- Ephesians 1:16
%
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
		 -- Ephesians 1:17
%
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what
is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints,
		 -- Ephesians 1:18
%
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power,
		 -- Ephesians 1:19
%
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set
him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
		 -- Ephesians 1:20
%
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every
name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is
to come:
		 -- Ephesians 1:21
%
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over
all things to the church,
		 -- Ephesians 1:22
%
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
		 -- Ephesians 1:23
%
AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
		 -- Ephesians 2:1
%
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now
worketh in the children of disobedience:
		 -- Ephesians 2:2
%
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts
of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
		 -- Ephesians 2:3
%
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
		 -- Ephesians 2:4
%
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;)
		 -- Ephesians 2:5
%
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus:
		 -- Ephesians 2:6
%
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace
in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
		 -- Ephesians 2:7
%
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
		 -- Ephesians 2:8
%
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
		 -- Ephesians 2:9
%
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
		 -- Ephesians 2:10
%
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh,
who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision
in the flesh made by hands;
		 -- Ephesians 2:11
%
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world:
		 -- Ephesians 2:12
%
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by
the blood of Christ.
		 -- Ephesians 2:13
%
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the
middle wall of partition between us;
		 -- Ephesians 2:14
%
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments
contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man,
so making peace;
		 -- Ephesians 2:15
%
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby:
		 -- Ephesians 2:16
%
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that
were nigh.
		 -- Ephesians 2:17
%
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
		 -- Ephesians 2:18
%
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens
with the saints, and of the household of God;
		 -- Ephesians 2:19
%
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
		 -- Ephesians 2:20
%
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy
temple in the Lord:
		 -- Ephesians 2:21
%
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through
the Spirit.
		 -- Ephesians 2:22
%
FOR this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
		 -- Ephesians 3:1
%
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given
me to you-ward:
		 -- Ephesians 3:2
%
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote
afore in few words,
		 -- Ephesians 3:3
%
Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery
of Christ)
		 -- Ephesians 3:4
%
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is
now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
		 -- Ephesians 3:5
%
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and
partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
		 -- Ephesians 3:6
%
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of
God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
		 -- Ephesians 3:7
%
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given,
that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
		 -- Ephesians 3:8
%
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which
from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all
things by Jesus Christ:
		 -- Ephesians 3:9
%
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly
places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
		 -- Ephesians 3:10
%
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus
our Lord:
		 -- Ephesians 3:11
%
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
		 -- Ephesians 3:12
%
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which
is your glory.
		 -- Ephesians 3:13
%
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
		 -- Ephesians 3:14
%
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
		 -- Ephesians 3:15
%
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be
strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
		 -- Ephesians 3:16
%
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted
and grounded in love,
		 -- Ephesians 3:17
%
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length,
and depth, and height;
		 -- Ephesians 3:18
%
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might
be filled with all the fulness of God.
		 -- Ephesians 3:19
%
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we
ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
		 -- Ephesians 3:20
%
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages,
world without end.  Amen.
		 -- Ephesians 3:21
%
I THEREFORE, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy
of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
		 -- Ephesians 4:1
%
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one
another in love;
		 -- Ephesians 4:2
%
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
		 -- Ephesians 4:3
%
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of
your calling;
		 -- Ephesians 4:4
%
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
		 -- Ephesians 4:5
%
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in
you all.
		 -- Ephesians 4:6
%
But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the
gift of Christ.
		 -- Ephesians 4:7
%
Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive,
and gave gifts unto men.
		 -- Ephesians 4:8
%
(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into
the lower parts of the earth?
		 -- Ephesians 4:9
%
He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens,
that he might fill all things.)
		 -- Ephesians 4:10
%
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists;
and some, pastors and teachers;
		 -- Ephesians 4:11
%
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ:
		 -- Ephesians 4:12
%
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the
fulness of Christ:
		 -- Ephesians 4:13
%
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
		 -- Ephesians 4:14
%
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things,
which is the head, even Christ:
		 -- Ephesians 4:15
%
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that
which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the
measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of
itself in love.
		 -- Ephesians 4:16
%
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk
not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
		 -- Ephesians 4:17
%
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of
God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of
their heart:
		 -- Ephesians 4:18
%
Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness,
to work all uncleanness with greediness.
		 -- Ephesians 4:19
%
But ye have not so learned Christ;
		 -- Ephesians 4:20
%
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the
truth is in Jesus:
		 -- Ephesians 4:21
%
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which
is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
		 -- Ephesians 4:22
%
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
		 -- Ephesians 4:23
%
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.
		 -- Ephesians 4:24
%
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour:
for we are members one of another.
		 -- Ephesians 4:25
%
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
		 -- Ephesians 4:26
%
Neither give place to the devil.
		 -- Ephesians 4:27
%
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working
with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him
that needeth.
		 -- Ephesians 4:28
%
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is
good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
		 -- Ephesians 4:29
%
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the
day of redemption.
		 -- Ephesians 4:30
%
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking,
be put away from you, with all malice:
		 -- Ephesians 4:31
%
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
		 -- Ephesians 4:32
%
BE ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
		 -- Ephesians 5:1
%
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself
for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
		 -- Ephesians 5:2
%
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be
once named among you, as becometh saints;
		 -- Ephesians 5:3
%
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not
convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
		 -- Ephesians 5:4
%
For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous
man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ
and of God.
		 -- Ephesians 5:5
%
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things
cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
		 -- Ephesians 5:6
%
Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
		 -- Ephesians 5:7
%
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk
as children of light:
		 -- Ephesians 5:8
%
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness
and truth;)
		 -- Ephesians 5:9
%
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
		 -- Ephesians 5:10
%
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove them.
		 -- Ephesians 5:11
%
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them
in secret.
		 -- Ephesians 5:12
%
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for
whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
		 -- Ephesians 5:13
%
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.
		 -- Ephesians 5:14
%
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
		 -- Ephesians 5:15
%
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
		 -- Ephesians 5:16
%
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the
Lord is.
		 -- Ephesians 5:17
%
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with
the Spirit;
		 -- Ephesians 5:18
%
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
		 -- Ephesians 5:19
%
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ;
		 -- Ephesians 5:20
%
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
		 -- Ephesians 5:21
%
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
		 -- Ephesians 5:22
%
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of
the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
		 -- Ephesians 5:23
%
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to
their own husbands in every thing.
		 -- Ephesians 5:24
%
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and
gave himself for it;
		 -- Ephesians 5:25
%
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by
the word,
		 -- Ephesians 5:26
%
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot,
or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without
blemish.
		 -- Ephesians 5:27
%
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.  He that loveth
his wife loveth himself.
		 -- Ephesians 5:28
%
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth
it, even as the Lord the church:
		 -- Ephesians 5:29
%
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
		 -- Ephesians 5:30
%
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be
joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
		 -- Ephesians 5:31
%
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
		 -- Ephesians 5:32
%
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even
as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
		 -- Ephesians 5:33
%
CHILDREN, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
		 -- Ephesians 6:1
%
Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with
promise;)
		 -- Ephesians 6:2
%
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
		 -- Ephesians 6:3
%
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
		 -- Ephesians 6:4
%
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the
flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto
Christ;
		 -- Ephesians 6:5
%
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ,
doing the will of God from the heart;
		 -- Ephesians 6:6
%
With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
		 -- Ephesians 6:7
%
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he
receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
		 -- Ephesians 6:8
%
And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening:
knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of
persons with him.
		 -- Ephesians 6:9
%
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might.
		 -- Ephesians 6:10
%
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil.
		 -- Ephesians 6:11
%
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
		 -- Ephesians 6:12
%
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
		 -- Ephesians 6:13
%
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on
the breastplate of righteousness;
		 -- Ephesians 6:14
%
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
		 -- Ephesians 6:15
%
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
		 -- Ephesians 6:16
%
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God:
		 -- Ephesians 6:17
%
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
		 -- Ephesians 6:18
%
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my
mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
		 -- Ephesians 6:19
%
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly,
as I ought to speak.
		 -- Ephesians 6:20
%
But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved
brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you
all things:
		 -- Ephesians 6:21
%
Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our
affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
		 -- Ephesians 6:22
%
Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- Ephesians 6:23
%
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
Amen.
		 -- Ephesians 6:24
%
PAUL and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in
Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
		 -- Philippians 1:1
%
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord
Jesus Christ.
		 -- Philippians 1:2
%
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
		 -- Philippians 1:3
%
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
		 -- Philippians 1:4
%
For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
		 -- Philippians 1:5
%
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work
in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
		 -- Philippians 1:6
%
Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have
you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and
confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
		 -- Philippians 1:7
%
For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of
Jesus Christ.
		 -- Philippians 1:8
%
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge
and in all judgment;
		 -- Philippians 1:9
%
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere
and without offence till the day of Christ;
		 -- Philippians 1:10
%
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ,
unto the glory and praise of God.
		 -- Philippians 1:11
%
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened
unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
		 -- Philippians 1:12
%
So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all
other places;
		 -- Philippians 1:13
%
And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds,
are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
		 -- Philippians 1:14
%
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of
good will:
		 -- Philippians 1:15
%
The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add
affliction to my bonds:
		 -- Philippians 1:16
%
But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the
gospel.
		 -- Philippians 1:17
%
What then?  notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth,
Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
		 -- Philippians 1:18
%
For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer,
and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
		 -- Philippians 1:19
%
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall
be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ
shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
		 -- Philippians 1:20
%
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
		 -- Philippians 1:21
%
But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I
shall choose I wot not.
		 -- Philippians 1:22
%
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be
with Christ; which is far better:
		 -- Philippians 1:23
%
Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
		 -- Philippians 1:24
%
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with
you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
		 -- Philippians 1:25
%
That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my
coming to you again.
		 -- Philippians 1:26
%
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that
whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs,
that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for
the faith of the gospel;
		 -- Philippians 1:27
%
And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident
token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
		 -- Philippians 1:28
%
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe
on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
		 -- Philippians 1:29
%
Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
		 -- Philippians 1:30
%
IF there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love,
if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
		 -- Philippians 2:1
%
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of
one accord, of one mind.
		 -- Philippians 2:2
%
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of
mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
		 -- Philippians 2:3
%
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things
of others.
		 -- Philippians 2:4
%
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
		 -- Philippians 2:5
%
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal
with God:
		 -- Philippians 2:6
%
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a
servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
		 -- Philippians 2:7
%
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
		 -- Philippians 2:8
%
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which
is above every name:
		 -- Philippians 2:9
%
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things under the earth;
		 -- Philippians 2:10
%
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father.
		 -- Philippians 2:11
%
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence
only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with
fear and trembling.
		 -- Philippians 2:12
%
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good
pleasure.
		 -- Philippians 2:13
%
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
		 -- Philippians 2:14
%
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke,
in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as
lights in the world;
		 -- Philippians 2:15
%
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ,
that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
		 -- Philippians 2:16
%
Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith,
I joy, and rejoice with you all.
		 -- Philippians 2:17
%
For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
		 -- Philippians 2:18
%
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that
I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
		 -- Philippians 2:19
%
For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
		 -- Philippians 2:20
%
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
		 -- Philippians 2:21
%
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath
served with me in the gospel.
		 -- Philippians 2:22
%
Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it
will go with me.
		 -- Philippians 2:23
%
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
		 -- Philippians 2:24
%
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother,
and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he
that ministered to my wants.
		 -- Philippians 2:25
%
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye
had heard that he had been sick.
		 -- Philippians 2:26
%
For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and
not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
		 -- Philippians 2:27
%
I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again,
ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
		 -- Philippians 2:28
%
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such
in reputation:
		 -- Philippians 2:29
%
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding
his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
		 -- Philippians 2:30
%
FINALLY, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord.  To write the same things to
you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
		 -- Philippians 3:1
%
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
		 -- Philippians 3:2
%
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice
in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
		 -- Philippians 3:3
%
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh.  If any other man
thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
		 -- Philippians 3:4
%
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of
Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
		 -- Philippians 3:5
%
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness
which is in the law, blameless.
		 -- Philippians 3:6
%
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
		 -- Philippians 3:7
%
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the
knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of
all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
		 -- Philippians 3:8
%
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the
law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness
which is of God by faith:
		 -- Philippians 3:9
%
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship
of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
		 -- Philippians 3:10
%
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
		 -- Philippians 3:11
%
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect:
but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am
apprehended of Christ Jesus.
		 -- Philippians 3:12
%
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I
do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before,
		 -- Philippians 3:13
%
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus.
		 -- Philippians 3:14
%
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any
thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
		 -- Philippians 3:15
%
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same
rule, let us mind the same thing.
		 -- Philippians 3:16
%
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as
ye have us for an ensample.
		 -- Philippians 3:17
%
(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:
		 -- Philippians 3:18
%
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is
in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
		 -- Philippians 3:19
%
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the
Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
		 -- Philippians 3:20
%
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his
glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue
all things unto himself.
		 -- Philippians 3:21
%
THEREFORE, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown,
so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
		 -- Philippians 4:1
%
I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind
in the Lord.
		 -- Philippians 4:2
%
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which
laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my
fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
		 -- Philippians 4:3
%
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
		 -- Philippians 4:4
%
Let your moderation be known unto all men.  The Lord is at hand.
		 -- Philippians 4:5
%
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
		 -- Philippians 4:6
%
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
		 -- Philippians 4:7
%
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
		 -- Philippians 4:8
%
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard,
and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
		 -- Philippians 4:9
%
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of
me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked
opportunity.
		 -- Philippians 4:10
%
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever
state I am, therewith to be content.
		 -- Philippians 4:11
%
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where
and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry,
both to abound and to suffer need.
		 -- Philippians 4:12
%
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
		 -- Philippians 4:13
%
Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my
affliction.
		 -- Philippians 4:14
%
Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when
I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning
giving and receiving, but ye only.
		 -- Philippians 4:15
%
For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
		 -- Philippians 4:16
%
Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to
your account.
		 -- Philippians 4:17
%
But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the
things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice
acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
		 -- Philippians 4:18
%
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.
		 -- Philippians 4:19
%
Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever.  Amen.
		 -- Philippians 4:20
%
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus.  The brethren which are with me
greet you.
		 -- Philippians 4:21
%
All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
		 -- Philippians 4:22
%
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.  Amen.
		 -- Philippians 4:23
%
PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus
our brother,
		 -- Colossians 1:1
%
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace
be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- Colossians 1:2
%
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying
always for you,
		 -- Colossians 1:3
%
Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye
have to all the saints,
		 -- Colossians 1:4
%
For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before
in the word of the truth of the gospel;
		 -- Colossians 1:5
%
Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth
fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew
the grace of God in truth:
		 -- Colossians 1:6
%
As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you
a faithful minister of Christ;
		 -- Colossians 1:7
%
Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
		 -- Colossians 1:8
%
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray
for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of
his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
		 -- Colossians 1:9
%
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful
in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
		 -- Colossians 1:10
%
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all
patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
		 -- Colossians 1:11
%
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in light:
		 -- Colossians 1:12
%
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated
us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
		 -- Colossians 1:13
%
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness
of sins:
		 -- Colossians 1:14
%
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
		 -- Colossians 1:15
%
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are
in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions,
or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
		 -- Colossians 1:16
%
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
		 -- Colossians 1:17
%
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
		 -- Colossians 1:18
%
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
		 -- Colossians 1:19
%
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile
all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth,
or things in heaven.
		 -- Colossians 1:20
%
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked
works, yet now hath he reconciled
		 -- Colossians 1:21
%
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and
unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
		 -- Colossians 1:22
%
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved
away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was
preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made
a minister;
		 -- Colossians 1:23
%
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is
behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake,
which is the church:
		 -- Colossians 1:24
%
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which
is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
		 -- Colossians 1:25
%
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations,
but now is made manifest to his saints:
		 -- Colossians 1:26
%
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this
mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
		 -- Colossians 1:27
%
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom;
that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
		 -- Colossians 1:28
%
Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh
in me mightily.
		 -- Colossians 1:29
%
FOR I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for
them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
		 -- Colossians 2:1
%
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love,
and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the
acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
		 -- Colossians 2:2
%
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
		 -- Colossians 2:3
%
And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
		 -- Colossians 2:4
%
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit,
joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith
in Christ.
		 -- Colossians 2:5
%
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
		 -- Colossians 2:6
%
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been
taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
		 -- Colossians 2:7
%
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not
after Christ.
		 -- Colossians 2:8
%
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
		 -- Colossians 2:9
%
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality
and power:
		 -- Colossians 2:10
%
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands,
in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision
of Christ:
		 -- Colossians 2:11
%
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through
the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
		 -- Colossians 2:12
%
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
		 -- Colossians 2:13
%
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which
was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
		 -- Colossians 2:14
%
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them
openly, triumphing over them in it.
		 -- Colossians 2:15
%
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of
an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
		 -- Colossians 2:16
%
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
		 -- Colossians 2:17
%
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and
worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen,
vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
		 -- Colossians 2:18
%
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands
having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the
increase of God.
		 -- Colossians 2:19
%
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world,
why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
		 -- Colossians 2:20
%
(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
		 -- Colossians 2:21
%
Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and
doctrines of men?
		 -- Colossians 2:22
%
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility,
and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of
the flesh.
		 -- Colossians 2:23
%
IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
		 -- Colossians 3:1
%
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
		 -- Colossians 3:2
%
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
		 -- Colossians 3:3
%
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear
with him in glory.
		 -- Colossians 3:4
%
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication,
uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness,
which is idolatry:
		 -- Colossians 3:5
%
For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of
disobedience:
		 -- Colossians 3:6
%
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
		 -- Colossians 3:7
%
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,
filthy communication out of your mouth.
		 -- Colossians 3:8
%
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with
his deeds;
		 -- Colossians 3:9
%
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the
image of him that created him:
		 -- Colossians 3:10
%
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
		 -- Colossians 3:11
%
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of
mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
		 -- Colossians 3:12
%
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a
quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
		 -- Colossians 3:13
%
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of
perfectness.
		 -- Colossians 3:14
%
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are
called in one body; and be ye thankful.
		 -- Colossians 3:15
%
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching
and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
		 -- Colossians 3:16
%
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
		 -- Colossians 3:17
%
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
		 -- Colossians 3:18
%
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
		 -- Colossians 3:19
%
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing
unto the Lord.
		 -- Colossians 3:20
%
Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
		 -- Colossians 3:21
%
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not
with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
		 -- Colossians 3:22
%
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
		 -- Colossians 3:23
%
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance:
for ye serve the Lord Christ.
		 -- Colossians 3:24
%
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done:
and there is no respect of persons.
		 -- Colossians 3:25
%
MASTERS, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing
that ye also have a Master in heaven.
		 -- Colossians 4:1
%
Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
		 -- Colossians 4:2
%
Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of
utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
		 -- Colossians 4:3
%
That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
		 -- Colossians 4:4
%
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
		 -- Colossians 4:5
%
Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may
know how ye ought to answer every man.
		 -- Colossians 4:6
%
All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother,
and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
		 -- Colossians 4:7
%
Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your
estate, and comfort your hearts;
		 -- Colossians 4:8
%
With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you.
They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
		 -- Colossians 4:9
%
Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to
Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you,
receive him;)
		 -- Colossians 4:10
%
And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision.  These
only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a
comfort unto me.
		 -- Colossians 4:11
%
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always
labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and
complete in all the will of God.
		 -- Colossians 4:12
%
For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that
are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
		 -- Colossians 4:13
%
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
		 -- Colossians 4:14
%
Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church
which is in his house.
		 -- Colossians 4:15
%
And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also
in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle
from Laodicea.
		 -- Colossians 4:16
%
And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received
in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
		 -- Colossians 4:17
%
The salutation by the hand of me Paul.	Remember my bonds.  Grace be
with you.  Amen.
		 -- Colossians 4:18
%
PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians
which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto
you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 1:1
%
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in
our prayers;
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 1:2
%
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love,
and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and
our Father;
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 1:3
%
Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 1:4
%
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and
in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men
we were among you for your sake.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 1:5
%
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word
in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 1:6
%
So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 1:7
%
For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and
Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad;
so that we need not to speak any thing.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 1:8
%
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you,
and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 1:9
%
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead,
even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 1:10
%
FOR yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was
not in vain:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:1
%
But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated,
as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the
gospel of God with much contention.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:2
%
For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:3
%
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even
so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:4
%
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a
cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:5
%
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we
might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:6
%
But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:7
%
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted
unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because
ye were dear unto us.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:8
%
For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night
and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached
unto you the gospel of God.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:9
%
Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably
we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:10
%
As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you,
as a father doth his children,
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:11
%
That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom
and glory.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:12
%
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye
received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the
word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually
worketh also in you that believe.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:13
%
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea
are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own
countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:14
%
Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have
persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:15
%
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill
up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:16
%
But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence,
not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with
great desire.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:17
%
Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again;
but Satan hindered us.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:18
%
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?  Are not even ye
in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:19
%
For ye are our glory and joy.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 2:20
%
WHEREFORE when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left
at Athens alone;
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:1
%
And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our
fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort
you concerning your faith:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:2
%
That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know
that we are appointed thereunto.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:3
%
For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should
suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:4
%
For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your
faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour
be in vain.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:5
%
But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings
of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always,
desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:6
%
Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction
and distress by your faith:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:7
%
For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:8
%
For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy
wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:9
%
Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might
perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:10
%
Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our
way unto you.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:11
%
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another,
and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:12
%
To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before
God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all
his saints.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 3:13
%
FURTHERMORE then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord
Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please
God, so ye would abound more and more.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:1
%
For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:2
%
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should
abstain from fornication:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:3
%
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in
sanctification and honour;
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:4
%
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:5
%
That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because
that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned
you and testified.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:6
%
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:7
%
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also
given unto us his holy Spirit.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:8
%
But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for
ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:9
%
And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia:
but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:10
%
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work
with your own hands, as we commanded you;
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:11
%
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may
have lack of nothing.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:12
%
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which
are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:13
%
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also
which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:14
%
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are
alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them
which are asleep.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:15
%
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first:
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:16
%
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with
the Lord.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:17
%
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 4:18
%
BUT of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write
unto you.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:1
%
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a
thief in the night.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:2
%
For 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.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:3
%
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake
you as a thief.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:4
%
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are
not of the night, nor of darkness.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:5
%
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:6
%
For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are
drunken in the night.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:7
%
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of
faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:8
%
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our
Lord Jesus Christ,
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:9
%
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together
with him.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:10
%
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as
also ye do.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:11
%
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you,
and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:12
%
And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.  And be
at peace among yourselves.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:13
%
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the
feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:14
%
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that
which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:15
%
Rejoice evermore.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:16
%
Pray without ceasing.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:17
%
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:18
%
Quench not the Spirit.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:19
%
Despise not prophesyings.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:20
%
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:21
%
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:22
%
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole
spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:23
%
Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:24
%
Brethren, pray for us.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:25
%
Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:26
%
I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy
brethren.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:27
%
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  Amen.
		 -- 1 Thessalonians 5:28
%
PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians
in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:1
%
Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:2
%
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet,
because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every
one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:3
%
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience
and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:4
%
Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may
be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:5
%
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to
them that trouble you;
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:6
%
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be
revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:7
%
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that
obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:8
%
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of
the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:9
%
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in
all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed)
in that day.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:10
%
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you
worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness,
and the work of faith with power:
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:11
%
That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye
in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 1:12
%
NOW we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and by our gathering together unto him,
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:1
%
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor
by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:2
%
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the
son of perdition;
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:3
%
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that
is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing
himself that he is God.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:4
%
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:5
%
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:6
%
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth
will let, until he be taken out of the way.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:7
%
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume
with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
his coming:
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:8
%
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and
signs and lying wonders,
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:9
%
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:10
%
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie:
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:11
%
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure
in unrighteousness.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:12
%
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved
of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation
through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:13
%
Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:14
%
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have
been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:15
%
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which
hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope
through grace,
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:16
%
Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 2:17
%
FINALLY, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free
course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:1
%
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all
men have not faith.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:2
%
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:3
%
And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and
will do the things which we command you.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:4
%
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the
patient waiting for Christ.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:5
%
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly,
and not after the tradition which he received of us.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:6
%
For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not
ourselves disorderly among you;
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:7
%
Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour
and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:8
%
Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto
you to follow us.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:9
%
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would
not work, neither should he eat.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:10
%
For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working
not at all, but are busybodies.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:11
%
Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ,
that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:12
%
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:13
%
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and
have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:14
%
Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:15
%
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means.
The Lord be with you all.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:16
%
The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every
epistle: so I write.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:17
%
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.  Amen.
		 -- 2 Thessalonians 3:18
%
PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour,
and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:1
%
Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from
God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:2
%
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia,
that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:3
%
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister
questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:4
%
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of
a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:5
%
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:6
%
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say,
nor whereof they affirm.
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:7
%
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:8
%
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for
the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for
unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers,
for manslayers,
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:9
%
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for
menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other
thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:10
%
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed
to my trust.
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:11
%
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he
counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:12
%
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I
obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:13
%
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love
which is in Christ Jesus.
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:14
%
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:15
%
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ
might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should
hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:16
%
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God,
be honour and glory for ever and ever.	Amen.
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:17
%
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies
which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:18
%
Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away
concerning faith have made shipwreck:
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:19
%
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan,
that they may learn not to blaspheme.
		 -- 1 Timothy 1:20
%
I EXHORT therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:1
%
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet
and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:2
%
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:3
%
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of
the truth.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:4
%
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man
Christ Jesus;
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:5
%
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:6
%
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth
in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:7
%
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands,
without wrath and doubting.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:8
%
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with
shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls,
or costly array;
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:9
%
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:10
%
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:11
%
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man,
but to be in silence.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:12
%
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:13
%
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the
transgression.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:14
%
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in
faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
		 -- 1 Timothy 2:15
%
THIS is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth
a good work.
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:1
%
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant,
sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:2
%
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient,
not a brawler, not covetous;
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:3
%
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection
with all gravity;
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:4
%
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care
of the church of God?)
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:5
%
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the
condemnation of the devil.
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:6
%
Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he
fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:7
%
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much
wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:8
%
Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:9
%
And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a
deacon, being found blameless.
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:10
%
Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in
all things.
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:11
%
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and
their own houses well.
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:12
%
For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves
a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:13
%
These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:14
%
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave
thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God,
the pillar and ground of the truth.
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:15
%
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached
unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
		 -- 1 Timothy 3:16
%
NOW the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall
depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines
of devils;
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:1
%
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a
hot iron;
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:2
%
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God
hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and
know the truth.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:3
%
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be
received with thanksgiving:
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:4
%
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:5
%
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be
a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and
of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:6
%
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather
unto godliness.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:7
%
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto
all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which
is to come.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:8
%
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:9
%
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust
in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those
that believe.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:10
%
These things command and teach.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:11
%
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers,
in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:12
%
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:13
%
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy,
with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:14
%
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy
profiting may appear to all.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:15
%
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in
doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
		 -- 1 Timothy 4:16
%
REBUKE not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men
as brethren;
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:1
%
The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:2
%
Honour widows that are widows indeed.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:3
%
But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to
shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and
acceptable before God.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:4
%
Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and
continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:5
%
But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:6
%
And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:7
%
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own
house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:8
%
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old,
having been the wife of one man,
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:9
%
Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she
have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have
relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:10
%
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton
against Christ, they will marry;
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:11
%
Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:12
%
And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house;
and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things
which they ought not.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:13
%
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the
house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:14
%
For some are already turned aside after Satan.

If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them,
and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are
widows indeed.

%
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour,
especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

%
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out
the corn.  And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three
witnesses.

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels,
that thou observe these things without preferring one before another,
doing nothing by partiality.

%
Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins:
keep thyself pure.

%
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and
thine often infirmities.

%
Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some
men they follow after.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:24
%
Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they
that are otherwise cannot be hid.
		 -- 1 Timothy 5:25
%
LET as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy
of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
		 -- 1 Timothy 6:1
%
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because
they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful
and beloved, partakers of the benefit.	These things teach and exhort.
		 -- 1 Timothy 6:2
%
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the
words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according
to godliness;
		 -- 1 Timothy 6:3
%
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of
words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
		 -- 1 Timothy 6:4
%
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth,
supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
		 -- 1 Timothy 6:5
%
But godliness with contentment is great gain.

%
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry
nothing out.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

%
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many
foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

%
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted
after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

confession;

appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate,
the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour

richly all things to enjoy;

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the
promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

%
To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God
the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:2
%
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that
without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:3
%
Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be
filled with joy;
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:4
%
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which
dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am
persuaded that in thee also.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:5
%
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God,
which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:6
%
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love,
and of a sound mind.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:7
%
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me
his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel
according to the power of God;
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:8
%
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to
our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given
us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:9
%
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel:
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:10
%
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of
the Gentiles.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:11
%
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not
ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is
able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:12
%
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith
and love which is in Christ Jesus.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:13
%
That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost
which dwelleth in us.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:14
%
This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from
me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:15
%
The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed
me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:16
%
But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:17
%
The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day:
and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest
very well.
		 -- 2 Timothy 1:18
%
THOU therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:1
%
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same
commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:2
%
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:3
%
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life;
that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:4
%
And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except
he strive lawfully.

The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

%
Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

%
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead
according to my gospel:
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:8
%
Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word
of God is not bound.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:9
%
Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also
obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:10
%
It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live
with him:
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:11
%
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will
deny us:
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:12
%
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:13
%
Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord
that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of
the hearers.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:14
%
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:15
%
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more
ungodliness.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:16
%
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and
Philetus;
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:17
%
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is
past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:18
%
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are his.  And, Let every one that nameth the
name of Christ depart from iniquity.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:19
%
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver,
but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:20
%
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto
honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto
every good work.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:21
%
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity,
peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:22
%
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender
strifes.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:23
%
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men,
apt to teach, patient,
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:24
%
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure
will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:25
%
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.
		 -- 2 Timothy 2:26
%
THIS know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:1
%
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:2
%
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:3
%
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:4
%
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such
turn away.
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:5
%
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive
silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:6
%
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:7
%
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the
truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:8
%
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest
unto all men, as theirs also was.
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:9
%
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith,
longsuffering, charity, patience,
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:10
%
Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium,
at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord
delivered me.
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:11
%
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution.
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:12
%
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and
being deceived.
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:13
%
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been
assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:14
%
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able
to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:15
%
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:16
%
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good
works.
		 -- 2 Timothy 3:17
%
I CHARGE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall
judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:1
%
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke,
exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:2
%
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but
after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having
itching ears;
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:3
%
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned
unto fables.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:4
%
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an
evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:5
%
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:6
%
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept
the faith:
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:7
%
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only,
but unto all them also that love his appearing.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:8
%
Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:9
%
For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is
departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:10
%
Only Luke is with me.  Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is
profitable to me for the ministry.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:11
%
And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:12
%
The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with
thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:13
%
Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according
to his works:
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:14
%
Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:15
%
At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray
God that it may not be laid to their charge.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:16
%
Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me
the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear:
and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:17
%
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve
me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever.  Amen.

%
Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
		 -- 2 Timothy 4:19
%
Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

%
Do thy diligence to come before winter.  Eubulus greeteth thee, and
Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit.  Grace be with you.  Amen.

PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to
the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is
after godliness;
		 -- Titus 1:1
%
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before
the world began;
		 -- Titus 1:2
%
But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is
committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
		 -- Titus 1:3
%
To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace,
from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
		 -- Titus 1:4
%
For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order
the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had
appointed thee:
		 -- Titus 1:5
%
If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children
not accused of riot or unruly.
		 -- Titus 1:6
%
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled,
not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
		 -- Titus 1:7
%
But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy,
temperate;
		 -- Titus 1:8
%
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be
able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
		 -- Titus 1:9
%
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they
of the circumcision:
		 -- Titus 1:10
%
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things
which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
		 -- Titus 1:11
%
One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are
alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
		 -- Titus 1:12
%
This witness is true.  Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be
sound in the faith;
		 -- Titus 1:13
%
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn
from the truth.
		 -- Titus 1:14
%
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled
and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience
is defiled.
		 -- Titus 1:15
%
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being
abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
		 -- Titus 1:16
%
BUT speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
		 -- Titus 2:1
%
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity,
in patience.
		 -- Titus 2:2
%
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness,
not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
		 -- Titus 2:3
%
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands,
to love their children,
		 -- Titus 2:4
%
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own
husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
		 -- Titus 2:5
%
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
		 -- Titus 2:6
%
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine
shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
		 -- Titus 2:7
%
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary
part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
		 -- Titus 2:8
%
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please
them well in all things; not answering again;
		 -- Titus 2:9
%
Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the
doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
		 -- Titus 2:10
%
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
		 -- Titus 2:11
%
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live
soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
		 -- Titus 2:12
%
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
		 -- Titus 2:13
%
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
		 -- Titus 2:14
%
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority.	Let no
man despise thee.
		 -- Titus 2:15
%
PUT them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey
magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
		 -- Titus 3:1
%
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all
meekness unto all men.
		 -- Titus 3:2
%
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived,
serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful,
and hating one another.
		 -- Titus 3:3
%
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared,
		 -- Titus 3:4
%
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his
mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the
Holy Ghost;
		 -- Titus 3:5
%
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
		 -- Titus 3:6
%
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to
the hope of eternal life.
		 -- Titus 3:7
%
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm
constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to
maintain good works.  These things are good and profitable unto men.
		 -- Titus 3:8
%
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and
strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
		 -- Titus 3:9
%
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
		 -- Titus 3:10
%
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned
of himself.
		 -- Titus 3:11
%
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come
unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
		 -- Titus 3:12
%
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that
nothing be wanting unto them.

%
And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses,
that they be not unfruitful.

All that are with me salute thee.  Greet them that love us in the faith.
Grace be with you all.	Amen.

PAUL, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon
our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the
church in thy house:

%
Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
		 -- Philemon 1:3
%
I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
		 -- Philemon 1:4
%
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus,
and toward all saints;
		 -- Philemon 1:5
%
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the
acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
		 -- Philemon 1:6
%
For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels
of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
		 -- Philemon 1:7
%
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that
which is convenient,
		 -- Philemon 1:8
%
Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul
the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
		 -- Philemon 1:9
%
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
		 -- Philemon 1:10
%
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee
and to me:
		 -- Philemon 1:11
%
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine
own bowels:
		 -- Philemon 1:12
%
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have
ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
		 -- Philemon 1:13
%
But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be
as it were of necessity, but willingly.
		 -- Philemon 1:14
%
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest
receive him for ever;
		 -- Philemon 1:15
%
Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially
to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
		 -- Philemon 1:16
%
If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
		 -- Philemon 1:17
%
If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
		 -- Philemon 1:18
%
I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do
not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
		 -- Philemon 1:19
%
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in
the Lord.
		 -- Philemon 1:20
%
Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou
wilt also do more than I say.
		 -- Philemon 1:21
%
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your
prayers I shall be given unto you.
		 -- Philemon 1:22
%
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
		 -- Philemon 1:23
%
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

%
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto
the fathers by the prophets,

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed
heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
		 -- Hebrews 1:2
%
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his
person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had
by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty
on high;
		 -- Hebrews 1:3
%
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance
obtained a more excellent name than they.

%
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son,
this day have I begotten thee?	And again, I will be to him a Father,
and he shall be to me a Son?
		 -- Hebrews 1:5
%
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith,
And let all the angels of God worship him.
		 -- Hebrews 1:6
%
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his
ministers a flame of fire.
		 -- Hebrews 1:7
%
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
		 -- Hebrews 1:8
%
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even
thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
		 -- Hebrews 1:9
%
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth;
and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
		 -- Hebrews 1:10
%
They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as
doth a garment;
		 -- Hebrews 1:11
%
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed:
but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
		 -- Hebrews 1:12
%
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
		 -- Hebrews 1:13
%
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them
who shall be heirs of salvation?
		 -- Hebrews 1:14
%
THEREFORE we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we
have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
		 -- Hebrews 2:1
%
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression
and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
		 -- Hebrews 2:2
%
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first
began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that
heard him;
		 -- Hebrews 2:3
%
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with
divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
		 -- Hebrews 2:4
%
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come,
whereof we speak.
		 -- Hebrews 2:5
%
But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou
art mindful of him?  or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
		 -- Hebrews 2:6
%
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with
glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
		 -- Hebrews 2:7
%
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.	For in that he put
all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him.
But now we see not yet all things put under him.
		 -- Hebrews 2:8
%
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the
suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace
of God should taste death for every man.
		 -- Hebrews 2:9
%
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things,
in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation
perfect through sufferings.
		 -- Hebrews 2:10
%
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one:
for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
		 -- Hebrews 2:11
%
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the
church will I sing praise unto thee.
		 -- Hebrews 2:12
%
And again, I will put my trust in him.	And again, Behold I and the
children which God hath given me.
		 -- Hebrews 2:13
%
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
		 -- Hebrews 2:14
%
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage.
		 -- Hebrews 2:15
%
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him
the seed of Abraham.
		 -- Hebrews 2:16
%
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren,
that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining
to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
		 -- Hebrews 2:17
%
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour
them that are tempted.
		 -- Hebrews 2:18
%
WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider
the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
		 -- Hebrews 3:1
%
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful
in all his house.
		 -- Hebrews 3:2
%
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as
he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
		 -- Hebrews 3:3
%
For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things
is God.
		 -- Hebrews 3:4
%
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a
testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
		 -- Hebrews 3:5
%
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold
fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
		 -- Hebrews 3:6
%
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
		 -- Hebrews 3:7
%
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation
in the wilderness:
		 -- Hebrews 3:8
%
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
		 -- Hebrews 3:9
%
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway
err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
		 -- Hebrews 3:10
%
So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
		 -- Hebrews 3:11
%
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of
unbelief, in departing from the living God.
		 -- Hebrews 3:12
%
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of
you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
		 -- Hebrews 3:13
%
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our
confidence stedfast unto the end;
		 -- Hebrews 3:14
%
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts, as in the provocation.
		 -- Hebrews 3:15
%
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came
out of Egypt by Moses.
		 -- Hebrews 3:16
%
But with whom was he grieved forty years?  was it not with them that
had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
		 -- Hebrews 3:17
%
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to
them that believed not?
		 -- Hebrews 3:18
%
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
		 -- Hebrews 3:19
%
LET us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into
his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
		 -- Hebrews 4:1
%
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word
preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that
heard it.
		 -- Hebrews 4:2
%
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have
sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works
were finished from the foundation of the world.
		 -- Hebrews 4:3
%
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And
God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
		 -- Hebrews 4:4
%
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
		 -- Hebrews 4:5
%
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to
whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
		 -- Hebrews 4:6
%
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so
long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden
not your hearts.
		 -- Hebrews 4:7
%
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken
of another day.
		 -- Hebrews 4:8
%
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
		 -- Hebrews 4:9
%
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own
works, as God did from his.
		 -- Hebrews 4:10
%
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after
the same example of unbelief.
		 -- Hebrews 4:11
%
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged
sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of
the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents
of the heart.
		 -- Hebrews 4:12
%
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all
things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
		 -- Hebrews 4:13
%
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the
heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
		 -- Hebrews 4:14
%
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling
of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet
without sin.
		 -- Hebrews 4:15
%
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
		 -- Hebrews 4:16
%
FOR every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things
pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
		 -- Hebrews 5:1
%
Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of
the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
		 -- Hebrews 5:2
%
And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself,
to offer for sins.
		 -- Hebrews 5:3
%
And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God,
as was Aaron.
		 -- Hebrews 5:4
%
So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he
that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
		 -- Hebrews 5:5
%
As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the
order of Melchisedec.
		 -- Hebrews 5:6
%
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and
supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to
save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
		 -- Hebrews 5:7
%
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which
he suffered;
		 -- Hebrews 5:8
%
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto
all them that obey him;
		 -- Hebrews 5:9
%
Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
		 -- Hebrews 5:10
%
Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye
are dull of hearing.
		 -- Hebrews 5:11
%
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one
teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God;
and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
		 -- Hebrews 5:12
%
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness:
for he is a babe.
		 -- Hebrews 5:13
%
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by
reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
		 -- Hebrews 5:14
%
THEREFORE leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go
on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from
dead works, and of faith toward God,
		 -- Hebrews 6:1
%
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of
resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
		 -- Hebrews 6:2
%
And this will we do, if God permit.
		 -- Hebrews 6:3
%
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted
of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
		 -- Hebrews 6:4
%
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
		 -- Hebrews 6:5
%
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they
crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
		 -- Hebrews 6:6
%
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and
bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth
blessing from God:
		 -- Hebrews 6:7
%
But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto
cursing; whose end is to be burned.
		 -- Hebrews 6:8
%
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that
accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
		 -- Hebrews 6:9
%
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which
ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints,
and do minister.
		 -- Hebrews 6:10
%
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the
full assurance of hope unto the end:
		 -- Hebrews 6:11
%
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and
patience inherit the promises.
		 -- Hebrews 6:12
%
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, he sware by himself,
		 -- Hebrews 6:13
%
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will
multiply thee.
		 -- Hebrews 6:14
%
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
		 -- Hebrews 6:15
%
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to
them an end of all strife.
		 -- Hebrews 6:16
%
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise
the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
		 -- Hebrews 6:17
%
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie,
we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold
upon the hope set before us:
		 -- Hebrews 6:18
%
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,
and which entereth into that within the veil;
		 -- Hebrews 6:19
%
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest
for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
		 -- Hebrews 6:20
%
FOR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who
met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
		 -- Hebrews 7:1
%
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by
interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem,
which is, King of peace;
		 -- Hebrews 7:2
%
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning
of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a
priest continually.
		 -- Hebrews 7:3
%
Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham
gave the tenth of the spoils.
		 -- Hebrews 7:4
%
And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office
of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people
according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out
of the loins of Abraham:
		 -- Hebrews 7:5
%
But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham,
and blessed him that had the promises.
		 -- Hebrews 7:6
%
And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
		 -- Hebrews 7:7
%
And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them,
of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
		 -- Hebrews 7:8
%
And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes
in Abraham.
		 -- Hebrews 7:9
%
For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
		 -- Hebrews 7:10
%
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it
the people received the law,) what further need was there that another
priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called
after the order of Aaron?
		 -- Hebrews 7:11
%
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change
also of the law.
		 -- Hebrews 7:12
%
For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe,
of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
		 -- Hebrews 7:13
%
For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses
spake nothing concerning priesthood.
		 -- Hebrews 7:14
%
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of
Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
		 -- Hebrews 7:15
%
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the
power of an endless life.
		 -- Hebrews 7:16
%
For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec.
		 -- Hebrews 7:17
%
For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for
the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
		 -- Hebrews 7:18
%
For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope
did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
		 -- Hebrews 7:19
%
And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
		 -- Hebrews 7:20
%
(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by
him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a
priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
		 -- Hebrews 7:21
%
By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
		 -- Hebrews 7:22
%
And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to
continue by reason of death:
		 -- Hebrews 7:23
%
But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
		 -- Hebrews 7:24
%
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto
God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
		 -- Hebrews 7:25
%
For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled,
separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
		 -- Hebrews 7:26
%
Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice,
first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once,
when he offered up himself.
		 -- Hebrews 7:27
%
For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word
of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated
for evermore.
		 -- Hebrews 7:28
%
NOW of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an
high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty
in the heavens;
		 -- Hebrews 8:1
%
A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord
pitched, and not man.
		 -- Hebrews 8:2
%
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore
it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
		 -- Hebrews 8:3
%
For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there
are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
		 -- Hebrews 8:4
%
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was
admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See,
saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to
thee in the mount.
		 -- Hebrews 8:5
%
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also
he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon
better promises.
		 -- Hebrews 8:6
%
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have
been sought for the second.
		 -- Hebrews 8:7
%
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the
Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with
the house of Judah:
		 -- Hebrews 8:8
%
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day
when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt;
because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not,
saith the Lord.
		 -- Hebrews 8:9
%
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind,
and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they
shall be to me a people:
		 -- Hebrews 8:10
%
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his
brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least
to the greatest.
		 -- Hebrews 8:11
%
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and
their iniquities will I remember no more.
		 -- Hebrews 8:12
%
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old.  Now that
which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
		 -- Hebrews 8:13
%
THEN verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service,
and a worldly sanctuary.
		 -- Hebrews 9:1
%
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick,
and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
		 -- Hebrews 9:2
%
And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest
of all;
		 -- Hebrews 9:3
%
Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round
about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's
rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
		 -- Hebrews 9:4
%
And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we
cannot now speak particularly.
		 -- Hebrews 9:5
%
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into
the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
		 -- Hebrews 9:6
%
But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not
without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of
the people:
		 -- Hebrews 9:7
%
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all
was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
		 -- Hebrews 9:8
%
Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered
both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service
perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
		 -- Hebrews 9:9
%
Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal
ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
		 -- Hebrews 9:10
%
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater
and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not
of this building;
		 -- Hebrews 9:11
%
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered
in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
		 -- Hebrews 9:12
%
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
		 -- Hebrews 9:13
%
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead
works to serve the living God?
		 -- Hebrews 9:14
%
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by
means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under
the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of
eternal inheritance.
		 -- Hebrews 9:15
%
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of
the testator.
		 -- Hebrews 9:16
%
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no
strength at all while the testator liveth.
		 -- Hebrews 9:17
%
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
		 -- Hebrews 9:18
%
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according
to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and
scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
		 -- Hebrews 9:19
%
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined
unto you.
		 -- Hebrews 9:20
%
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels
of the ministry.
		 -- Hebrews 9:21
%
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without
shedding of blood is no remission.
		 -- Hebrews 9:22
%
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens
should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with
bettersacrifices than these.
		 -- Hebrews 9:23
%
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which
are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in
the presence of God for us:
		 -- Hebrews 9:24
%
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth
into the holy place every year with blood of others;
		 -- Hebrews 9:25
%
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world:
but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin
by the sacrifice of himself.
		 -- Hebrews 9:26
%
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
		 -- Hebrews 9:27
%
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that
look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
		 -- Hebrews 9:28
%
FOR the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very
image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered
year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
		 -- Hebrews 10:1
%
For then would they not have ceased to be offered?  because that the
worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
		 -- Hebrews 10:2
%
But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins
every year.
		 -- Hebrews 10:3
%
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take
away sins.
		 -- Hebrews 10:4
%
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering
thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
		 -- Hebrews 10:5
%
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
		 -- Hebrews 10:6
%
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,)
to do thy will, O God.
		 -- Hebrews 10:7
%
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and
offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein;
which are offered by the law;
		 -- Hebrews 10:8
%
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.  He taketh away the first,
that he may establish the second.
		 -- Hebrews 10:9
%
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of
Jesus Christ once for all.
		 -- Hebrews 10:10
%
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the
same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
		 -- Hebrews 10:11
%
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,
sat down on the right hand of God;
		 -- Hebrews 10:12
%
From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
		 -- Hebrews 10:13
%
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
		 -- Hebrews 10:14
%
Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had
said before,
		 -- Hebrews 10:15
%
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith
the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will
I write them;
		 -- Hebrews 10:16
%
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
		 -- Hebrews 10:17
%
Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
		 -- Hebrews 10:18
%
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the
blood of Jesus,
		 -- Hebrews 10:19
%
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the
veil, that is to say, his flesh;
		 -- Hebrews 10:20
%
And having an high priest over the house of God;
		 -- Hebrews 10:21
%
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with
pure water.
		 -- Hebrews 10:22

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he
is faithful that promised;)
		 -- Hebrews 10:23
%
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
		 -- Hebrews 10:24
%
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of
some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the
day approaching.
		 -- Hebrews 10:25
%
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the
truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
		 -- Hebrews 10:26
%
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation,
which shall devour the adversaries.
		 -- Hebrews 10:27
%
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three
witnesses:
		 -- Hebrews 10:28
%
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy,
who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood
of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath
done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
		 -- Hebrews 10:29
%
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will
recompense, saith the Lord.  And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
		 -- Hebrews 10:30
%
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
		 -- Hebrews 10:31
%
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were
illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
		 -- Hebrews 10:32
%
Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and
afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were
so used.
		 -- Hebrews 10:33
%
For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling
of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better
and an enduring substance.
		 -- Hebrews 10:34
%
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence
of reward.
		 -- Hebrews 10:35
%
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise.
		 -- Hebrews 10:36
%
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will
not tarry.
		 -- Hebrews 10:37
%
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul
shall have no pleasure in him.
		 -- Hebrews 10:38
%
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that
believe to the saving of the soul.
		 -- Hebrews 10:39
%
NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen.
		 -- Hebrews 11:1
%
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
		 -- Hebrews 11:2
%
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word
of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which
do appear.
		 -- Hebrews 11:3
%
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,
by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of
his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
		 -- Hebrews 11:4
%
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not
found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he
had this testimony, that he pleased God.
		 -- Hebrews 11:5
%
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh
to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him.
		 -- Hebrews 11:6
%
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved
with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which
he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is
by faith.
		 -- Hebrews 11:7
%
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he
should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not
knowing whither he went.
		 -- Hebrews 11:8
%
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country,
dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the
same promise:
		 -- Hebrews 11:9
%
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker
is God.
		 -- Hebrews 11:10
%
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed,
and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged
him faithful who had promised.
		 -- Hebrews 11:11
%
Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as
the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea
shore innumerable.
		 -- Hebrews 11:12
%
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having
seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them,
and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
		 -- Hebrews 11:13
%
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
		 -- Hebrews 11:14
%
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they
came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
		 -- Hebrews 11:15
%
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore
God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them
a city.
		 -- Hebrews 11:16
%
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had
received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
		 -- Hebrews 11:17
%
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
		 -- Hebrews 11:18
%
Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from
whence also he received him in a figure.
		 -- Hebrews 11:19
%
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
		 -- Hebrews 11:20
%
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph;
and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
		 -- Hebrews 11:21
%
By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the
children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
		 -- Hebrews 11:22
%
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents,
because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the
king's commandment.
		 -- Hebrews 11:23
%
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son
of Pharaoh's daughter;
		 -- Hebrews 11:24
%
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to
enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
		 -- Hebrews 11:25
%
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in
Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
		 -- Hebrews 11:26
%
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he
endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
		 -- Hebrews 11:27
%
Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest
he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
		 -- Hebrews 11:28
%
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the
Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
		 -- Hebrews 11:29
%
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about
seven days.
		 -- Hebrews 11:30
%
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not,
when she had received the spies with peace.
		 -- Hebrews 11:31
%
And what shall I more say?  for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon,
and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel,
and of the prophets:
		 -- Hebrews 11:32
%
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained
promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
		 -- Hebrews 11:33
%
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of
weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the
armies of the aliens.
		 -- Hebrews 11:34
%
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured,
not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
		 -- Hebrews 11:35
%
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of
bonds and imprisonment:
		 -- Hebrews 11:36
%
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain
with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being
destitute, afflicted, tormented;
		 -- Hebrews 11:37
%
(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and
inmountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
		 -- Hebrews 11:38
%
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received
not the promise:
		 -- Hebrews 11:39
%
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should
not be made perfect.
		 -- Hebrews 11:40
%
WHEREFORE seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
		 -- Hebrews 12:1
%
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the
joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
		 -- Hebrews 12:2
%
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against
himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
		 -- Hebrews 12:3
%
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
		 -- Hebrews 12:4
%
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto
children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint
when thou art rebuked of him:
		 -- Hebrews 12:5
%
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom
he receiveth.
		 -- Hebrews 12:6
%
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what
son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
		 -- Hebrews 12:7
%
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are
ye bastards, and not sons.
		 -- Hebrews 12:8
%
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we
gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the
Father of spirits, and live?
		 -- Hebrews 12:9
%
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure;
but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
		 -- Hebrews 12:10
%
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness
unto them which are exercised thereby.
		 -- Hebrews 12:11
%
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
		 -- Hebrews 12:12
%
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned
out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
		 -- Hebrews 12:13
%
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see
the Lord:
		 -- Hebrews 12:14
%
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root
of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
		 -- Hebrews 12:15
%
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one
morsel of meat sold his birthright.
		 -- Hebrews 12:16
%
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing,
he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought
it carefully with tears.
		 -- Hebrews 12:17
%
For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned
with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
		 -- Hebrews 12:18
%
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they
that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
		 -- Hebrews 12:19
%
(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as
a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with
a dart:
		 -- Hebrews 12:20
%
And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear
and quake:)
		 -- Hebrews 12:21
%
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
		 -- Hebrews 12:22
%
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written
in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men
made perfect,
		 -- Hebrews 12:23
%
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of
sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
		 -- Hebrews 12:24
%
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.  For if they escaped not who
refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we
turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
		 -- Hebrews 12:25
%
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying,
Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
		 -- Hebrews 12:26
%
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things
that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which
cannot be shaken may remain.
		 -- Hebrews 12:27
%
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace,
whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
		 -- Hebrews 12:28
%
For our God is a consuming fire.
		 -- Hebrews 12:29
%
LET brotherly love continue.
		 -- Hebrews 13:1
%
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained
angels unawares.
		 -- Hebrews 13:2
%
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which
suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
		 -- Hebrews 13:3
%
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers
and adulterers God will judge.
		 -- Hebrews 13:4
%
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with
such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee.
		 -- Hebrews 13:5
%
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear
what man shall do unto me.
		 -- Hebrews 13:6
%
Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you
the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their
conversation.
		 -- Hebrews 13:7
%
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
		 -- Hebrews 13:8
%
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.  For it is a
good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats,
which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
		 -- Hebrews 13:9
%
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the
tabernacle.
		 -- Hebrews 13:10
%
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary
by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
		 -- Hebrews 13:11
%
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own
blood, suffered without the gate.
		 -- Hebrews 13:12
%
Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
		 -- Hebrews 13:13
%
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
		 -- Hebrews 13:14
%
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
		 -- Hebrews 13:15
%
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices
God is well pleased.
		 -- Hebrews 13:16
%
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they
watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do
it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
		 -- Hebrews 13:17
%
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things
willing to live honestly.
		 -- Hebrews 13:18
%
But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you
the sooner.
		 -- Hebrews 13:19
%
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting
covenant,
		 -- Hebrews 13:20
%
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that
which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be
glory for ever and ever.  Amen.
		 -- Hebrews 13:21
%
And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have
written a letter unto you in few words.
		 -- Hebrews 13:22
%
Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he
come shortly, I will see you.
		 -- Hebrews 13:23
%
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints.  They of
Italy salute you.
		 -- Hebrews 13:24
%
Grace be with you all.	Amen.
		 -- Hebrews 13:25
%
JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve
tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
		 -- James 1:1
%
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
		 -- James 1:2
%
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
		 -- James 1:3
%
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing.
		 -- James 1:4
%
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
		 -- James 1:5
%
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.  For he that wavereth is
like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
		 -- James 1:6
%
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
		 -- James 1:7
%
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
		 -- James 1:8
%
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
		 -- James 1:9
%
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass
he shall pass away.
		 -- James 1:10
%
For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the
grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of
it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
		 -- James 1:11
%
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he
shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them
that love him.
		 -- James 1:12
%
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot
be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
		 -- James 1:13
%
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust,
and enticed.
		 -- James 1:14
%
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it
is finished, bringeth forth death.
		 -- James 1:15
%
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
		 -- James 1:16
%
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down
from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow
of turning.
		 -- James 1:17
%
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be
a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
		 -- James 1:18
%
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to wrath:
		 -- James 1:19
%
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
		 -- James 1:20
%
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness,
and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save
your souls.
		 -- James 1:21
%
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your
own selves.
		 -- James 1:22
%
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a
man beholding his natural face in a glass:
		 -- James 1:23
%
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth
what manner of man he was.
		 -- James 1:24
%
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein,
he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall
be blessed in his deed.
		 -- James 1:25
%
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue,
but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
		 -- James 1:26
%
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit
the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world.
		 -- James 1:27
%
MY brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of
glory, with respect of persons.
		 -- James 2:1
%
For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly
apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
		 -- James 2:2
%
And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto
him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there,
or sit here under my footstool:
		 -- James 2:3
%
Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil
thoughts?
		 -- James 2:4
%
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world
rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them
that love him?
		 -- James 2:5
%
But ye have despised the poor.	Do not rich men oppress you, and draw
you before the judgment seats?
		 -- James 2:6
%
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
		 -- James 2:7
%
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
		 -- James 2:8
%
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of
the law as transgressors.
		 -- James 2:9
%
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point,
he is guilty of all.
		 -- James 2:10
%
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.
Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a
transgressor of the law.
		 -- James 2:11
%
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of
liberty.
		 -- James 2:12
%
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy;
and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
		 -- James 2:13
%
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and
have not works?  can faith save him?
		 -- James 2:14
%
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
		 -- James 2:15
%
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;
notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the
body; what doth it profit?
		 -- James 2:16
%
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
		 -- James 2:17
%
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith
without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
		 -- James 2:18
%
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also
believe, and tremble.
		 -- James 2:19
%
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
		 -- James 2:20
%
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac
his son upon the altar?
		 -- James 2:21
%
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith
made perfect?
		 -- James 2:22
%
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and
it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend
of God.
		 -- James 2:23
%
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
		 -- James 2:24
%
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had
received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
		 -- James 2:25
%
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is
dead also.
		 -- James 2:26
%
MY brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the
greater condemnation.
		 -- James 3:1
%
For in many things we offend all.  If any man offend not in word, the
same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
		 -- James 3:2
%
Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and
we turn about their whole body.
		 -- James 3:3
%
Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven
of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm,
whithersoever the governor listeth.
		 -- James 3:4
%
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things.
Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
		 -- James 3:5
%
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among
our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the
course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
		 -- James 3:6
%
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things
in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
		 -- James 3:7
%
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly
poison.
		 -- James 3:8
%
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men,
which are made after the similitude of God.
		 -- James 3:9
%
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.	My brethren,
these things ought not so to be.
		 -- James 3:10
%
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
		 -- James 3:11
%
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries?  either a vine, figs?
so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
		 -- James 3:12
%
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?	let him shew
out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
		 -- James 3:13
%
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not,
and lie not against the truth.
		 -- James 3:14
%
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
		 -- James 3:15
%
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
		 -- James 3:16
%
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without
partiality, and without hypocrisy.
		 -- James 3:17
%
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
		 -- James 3:18
%
FROM whence come wars and fightings among you?	come they not hence,
even of your lusts that war in your members?
		 -- James 4:1
%
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain:
ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
		 -- James 4:2
%
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it
upon your lusts.
		 -- James 4:3
%
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the
world is enmity with God?  whosoever therefore will be a friend of the
world is the enemy of God.
		 -- James 4:4
%
Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth
in us lusteth to envy?
		 -- James 4:5
%
But he giveth more grace.  Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud,
but giveth grace unto the humble.
		 -- James 4:6
%
Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee
from you.
		 -- James 4:7
%
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.  Cleanse your hands,
ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
		 -- James 4:8
%
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to
mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
		 -- James 4:9
%
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
		 -- James 4:10
%
Speak not evil one of another, brethren.  He that speaketh evil of his
brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth
the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law,
but a judge.
		 -- James 4:11
%
There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou
that judgest another?
		 -- James 4:12
%
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city,
and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
		 -- James 4:13
%
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.  For what is your life?
It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth
away.
		 -- James 4:14
%
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this,
or that.
		 -- James 4:15
%
But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
		 -- James 4:16
%
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it
is sin.
		 -- James 4:17
%
GO to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come
upon you.
		 -- James 5:1
%
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
		 -- James 5:2
%
Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness
against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire.	Ye have heaped
treasure together for the last days.
		 -- James 5:3
%
Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields,
which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which
have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
		 -- James 5:4
%
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished
your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
		 -- James 5:5
%
Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
		 -- James 5:6
%
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold,
the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath
long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
		 -- James 5:7
%
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord
draweth nigh.
		 -- James 5:8
%
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold,
the judge standeth before the door.
		 -- James 5:9
%
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord,
for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
		 -- James 5:10
%
Behold, we count them happy which endure.  Ye have heard of the patience
of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful,
and of tender mercy.
		 -- James 5:11
%
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither
by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and
your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
		 -- James 5:12
%
Is any among you afflicted?  let him pray.  Is any merry?  let him
sing psalms.
		 -- James 5:13
%
Is any sick among you?	let him call for the elders of the church; and
let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
		 -- James 5:14
%
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise
him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
		 -- James 5:15
%
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may
be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
		 -- James 5:16
%
Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed
earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the
space of three years and six months.
		 -- James 5:17
%
And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought
forth her fruit.
		 -- James 5:18
%
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
		 -- James 5:19
%
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his
way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout
Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
		 -- 1 Peter 1:1
%
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through
sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood
of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
		 -- 1 Peter 1:2
%
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according
to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
		 -- 1 Peter 1:3
%
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you,
		 -- 1 Peter 1:4
%
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to
be revealed in the last time.
		 -- 1 Peter 1:5
%
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are
in heaviness through manifold temptations:
		 -- 1 Peter 1:6
%
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that
perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and
honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
		 -- 1 Peter 1:7
%
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not,
yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
		 -- 1 Peter 1:8
%
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
		 -- 1 Peter 1:9
%
Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently,
who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
		 -- 1 Peter 1:10
%
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in
them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ,
and the glory that should follow.
		 -- 1 Peter 1:11
%
Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did
minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have
preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven;
which things the angels desire to look into.
		 -- 1 Peter 1:12
%
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the
end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of
Jesus Christ;
		 -- 1 Peter 1:13
%
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former
lusts in your ignorance:
		 -- 1 Peter 1:14
%
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner
of conversation;
		 -- 1 Peter 1:15
%
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
		 -- 1 Peter 1:16
%
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth
according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here
in fear:
		 -- 1 Peter 1:17
%
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things,
as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition
from your fathers;
		 -- 1 Peter 1:18
%
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and
without spot:
		 -- 1 Peter 1:19
%
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was
manifest in these last times for you,
		 -- 1 Peter 1:20
%
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave
him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
		 -- 1 Peter 1:21
%
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit
unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with
a pure heart fervently:
		 -- 1 Peter 1:22
%
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the
word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
		 -- 1 Peter 1:23
%
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower
of grass.  The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
		 -- 1 Peter 1:24
%
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.  And this is the word which
by the gospel is preached unto you.
		 -- 1 Peter 1:25
%
WHEREFORE laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies,
and envies, and all evil speakings,
		 -- 1 Peter 2:1
%
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may
grow thereby:
		 -- 1 Peter 2:2
%
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:3
%
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but
chosen of God, and precious,
		 -- 1 Peter 2:4
%
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy
priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by
Jesus Christ.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:5
%
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a
chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall
not be confounded.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:6
%
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be
disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made
the head of the corner,
		 -- 1 Peter 2:7
%
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which
stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were
appointed.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:8
%
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath
called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
		 -- 1 Peter 2:9
%
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God:
which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:10
%
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from
fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
		 -- 1 Peter 2:11
%
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they
speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they
shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:12
%
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether
it be to the king, as supreme;
		 -- 1 Peter 2:13
%
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment
of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:14
%
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence
the ignorance of foolish men:
		 -- 1 Peter 2:15
%
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but
as the servants of God.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:16
%
Honour all men.  Love the brotherhood.	Fear God.  Honour the king.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:17
%
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good
and gentle, but also to the froward.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:18
%
For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief,
suffering wrongfully.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:19
%
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall
take it patiently?  but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take
it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:20
%
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
		 -- 1 Peter 2:21
%
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
		 -- 1 Peter 2:22
%
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he
threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
		 -- 1 Peter 2:23
%
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye
were healed.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:24
%
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd
and Bishop of your souls.
		 -- 1 Peter 2:25
%
LIKEWISE, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if
any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the
conversation of the wives;
		 -- 1 Peter 3:1
%
While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:2
%
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair,
and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
		 -- 1 Peter 3:3
%
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not
corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in
the sight of God of great price.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:4
%
For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted
in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
		 -- 1 Peter 3:5
%
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are,
as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:6
%
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving
honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs
together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:7
%
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love
as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
		 -- 1 Peter 3:8
%
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise
blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit
a blessing.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:9
%
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue
from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
		 -- 1 Peter 3:10
%
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:11
%
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open
unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:12
%
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which
is good?
		 -- 1 Peter 3:13
%
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not
afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
		 -- 1 Peter 3:14
%
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give
an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in
you with meekness and fear:
		 -- 1 Peter 3:15
%
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of
evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation
in Christ.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:16
%
For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing,
than for evil doing.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:17
%
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust,
that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but
quickened by the Spirit:
		 -- 1 Peter 3:18
%
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
		 -- 1 Peter 3:19
%
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God
waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few,
that is, eight souls were saved by water.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:20
%
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not
the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good
conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
		 -- 1 Peter 3:21
%
Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and
authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
		 -- 1 Peter 3:22
%
FORASMUCH then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves
likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath
ceased from sin;
		 -- 1 Peter 4:1
%
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the
lusts of men, but to the will of God.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:2
%
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of
the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine,
revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
		 -- 1 Peter 4:3
%
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same
excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
		 -- 1 Peter 4:4
%
Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and
the dead.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:5
%
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead,
that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live
according to God in the spirit.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:6
%
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch
unto prayer.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:7
%
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity
shall cover the multitude of sins.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:8
%
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:9
%
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to
another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:10
%
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man
minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in
all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and
dominion for ever and ever.  Amen.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:11
%
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to
try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
		 -- 1 Peter 4:12
%
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that,
when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:13
%
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit
of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of,
but on your part he is glorified.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:14
%
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an
evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:15
%
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let
him glorify God on this behalf.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:16
%
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:
and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey
not the gospel of God?
		 -- 1 Peter 4:17
%
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the
sinner appear?
		 -- 1 Peter 4:18
%
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the
keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
		 -- 1 Peter 4:19
%
THE elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a
witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory
that shall be revealed:
		 -- 1 Peter 5:1
%
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof,
not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready
mind;
		 -- 1 Peter 5:2
%
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to
the flock.
		 -- 1 Peter 5:3
%
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of
glory that fadeth not away.
		 -- 1 Peter 5:4
%
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.  Yea, all of
you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God
resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
		 -- 1 Peter 5:5
%
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may
exalt you in due time:
		 -- 1 Peter 5:6
%
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
		 -- 1 Peter 5:7
%
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
		 -- 1 Peter 5:8
%
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
		 -- 1 Peter 5:9
%
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by
Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect,
stablish, strengthen, settle you.
		 -- 1 Peter 5:10
%
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.  Amen.
		 -- 1 Peter 5:11
%
By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written
briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God
wherein ye stand.
		 -- 1 Peter 5:12
%
The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you;
and so doth Marcus my son.
		 -- 1 Peter 5:13
%
Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity.  Peace be with you all that
are in Christ Jesus.  Amen.
		 -- 1 Peter 5:14
%
SIMON Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have
obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God
and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
		 -- 2 Peter 1:1
%
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God,
and of Jesus our Lord,
		 -- 2 Peter 1:2
%
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain
unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called
us to glory and virtue:
		 -- 2 Peter 1:3
%
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that
by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through lust.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:4
%
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to
virtue knowledge;
		 -- 2 Peter 1:5
%
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience
godliness;
		 -- 2 Peter 1:6
%
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:7
%
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall
neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:8
%
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off,
and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:9
%
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and
election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
		 -- 2 Peter 1:10
%
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the
everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:11
%
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of
these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present
truth.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:12
%
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you
up by putting you in remembrance;
		 -- 2 Peter 1:13
%
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord
Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:14
%
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have
these things always in remembrance.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:15
%
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto
you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses
of his majesty.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:16
%
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came
such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:17
%
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him
in the holy mount.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:18
%
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye
take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day
dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
		 -- 2 Peter 1:19
%
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private
interpretation.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:20
%
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men
of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
		 -- 2 Peter 1:21
%
BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall
be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,
even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift
destruction.
		 -- 2 Peter 2:1
%
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way
of truth shall be evil spoken of.
		 -- 2 Peter 2:2
%
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of
you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation
slumbereth not.
		 -- 2 Peter 2:3
%
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell,
and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
		 -- 2 Peter 2:4
%
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher
of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
		 -- 2 Peter 2:5
%
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them
with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should
live ungodly;
		 -- 2 Peter 2:6
%
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
		 -- 2 Peter 2:7
%
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing,
vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
		 -- 2 Peter 2:8
%
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to
reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
		 -- 2 Peter 2:9
%
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness,
and despise government.  Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are
not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
		 -- 2 Peter 2:10
%
Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing
accusation against them before the Lord.
		 -- 2 Peter 2:11
%
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed,
speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly
perish in their own corruption;
		 -- 2 Peter 2:12
%
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count
it pleasure to riot in the day time.  Spots they are and blemishes,
sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
		 -- 2 Peter 2:13
%
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling
unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices;
cursed children:

%
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the
way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
		 -- 2 Peter 2:15
%
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice
forbad the madness of the prophet.
		 -- 2 Peter 2:16
%
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest;
to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

%
For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through
the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean
escaped from them who live in error.
		 -- 2 Peter 2:18
%
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of
corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought
in bondage.
		 -- 2 Peter 2:19
%
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through
the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again
entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than
the beginning.
		 -- 2 Peter 2:20
%
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of
righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy
commandment delivered unto them.

But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog
is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her
wallowing in the mire.

THIS second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir
up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
		 -- 2 Peter 3:1
%
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the
holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord
and Saviour:
		 -- 2 Peter 3:2
%
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers,
walking after their own lusts,
		 -- 2 Peter 3:3
%
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?  for since the fathers
fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of
the creation.
		 -- 2 Peter 3:4
%
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the
heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in
the water:
		 -- 2 Peter 3:5
%
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
		 -- 2 Peter 3:6
%
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept
in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition
of ungodly men.
		 -- 2 Peter 3:7
%
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.
		 -- 2 Peter 3:8
%
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.
		 -- 2 Peter 3:9
%
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which
the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall
melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up.
		 -- 2 Peter 3:10
%
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of
persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
		 -- 2 Peter 3:11
%
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the
heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat?
		 -- 2 Peter 3:12
%
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a
new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
		 -- 2 Peter 3:13
%
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent
that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
		 -- 2 Peter 3:14
%
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as
our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him
hath written unto you;
		 -- 2 Peter 3:15
%
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which
are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned
and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their
own destruction.
		 -- 2 Peter 3:16
%
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest
ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your
own stedfastness.
		 -- 2 Peter 3:17
%
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ.  To him be glory both now and for ever.  Amen.

THAT which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have
seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled,
of the Word of life;
		 -- 1 John 1:1
%
(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness,
and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was
manifested unto us;)
		 -- 1 John 1:2
%
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may
have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father,
and with his Son Jesus Christ.
		 -- 1 John 1:3
%
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
		 -- 1 John 1:4
%
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you,
that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
		 -- 1 John 1:5
%
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie,
and do not the truth:
		 -- 1 John 1:6
%
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship
one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us
from all sin.
		 -- 1 John 1:7
%
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us.
		 -- 1 John 1:8
%
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
		 -- 1 John 1:9
%
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is
not in us.
		 -- 1 John 1:10
%
MY little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous:
		 -- 1 John 2:1
%
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also
for the sins of the whole world.
		 -- 1 John 2:2
%
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
		 -- 1 John 2:3
%
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar,
and the truth is not in him.
		 -- 1 John 2:4
%
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected:
hereby know we that we are in him.
		 -- 1 John 2:5
%
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as
he walked.
		 -- 1 John 2:6
%
Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment
which ye had from the beginning.  The old commandment is the word which
ye have heard from the beginning.
		 -- 1 John 2:7
%
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him
and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
		 -- 1 John 2:8
%
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness
even until now.
		 -- 1 John 2:9
%
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none
occasion of stumbling in him.
		 -- 1 John 2:10
%
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness,
and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded
his eyes.
		 -- 1 John 2:11
%
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you
for his name's sake.
		 -- 1 John 2:12
%
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the
beginning.  I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the
wicked one.  I write unto you, little children, because ye have known
the Father.
		 -- 1 John 2:13
%
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from
the beginning.	I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong,
and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
		 -- 1 John 2:14
%
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.  If any
man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
		 -- 1 John 2:15
%
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
		 -- 1 John 2:16
%
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the
will of God abideth for ever.
		 -- 1 John 2:17
%
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist
shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that
it is the last time.
		 -- 1 John 2:18
%
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been
of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out,
that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
		 -- 1 John 2:19
%
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
		 -- 1 John 2:20
%
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because
ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
		 -- 1 John 2:21
%
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?  He is
antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
		 -- 1 John 2:22
%
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that
acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
		 -- 1 John 2:23
%
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning.
If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you,
ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
		 -- 1 John 2:24
%
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
		 -- 1 John 2:25
%
These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
		 -- 1 John 2:26
%
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye
need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you
of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught
you, ye shall abide in him.
		 -- 1 John 2:27
%
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear,
we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
		 -- 1 John 2:28
%
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth
righteousness is born of him.
		 -- 1 John 2:29
%
BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we
should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not,
because it knew him not.
		 -- 1 John 3:1
%
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we
shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him;
for we shall see him as he is.
		 -- 1 John 3:2
%
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he
is pure.
		 -- 1 John 3:3
%
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the
transgression of the law.
		 -- 1 John 3:4
%
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is
no sin.
		 -- 1 John 3:5
%
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him,
neither known him.
		 -- 1 John 3:6
%
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is
righteous, even as he is righteous.
		 -- 1 John 3:7
%
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from
the beginning.	For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he
might destroy the works of the devil.
		 -- 1 John 3:8
%
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
		 -- 1 John 3:9
%
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth
not his brother.
		 -- 1 John 3:10
%
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should
love one another.
		 -- 1 John 3:11
%
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him?  Because his own works were evil, and his
brother's righteous.
		 -- 1 John 3:12
%
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
		 -- 1 John 3:13
%
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the
brethren.  He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
		 -- 1 John 3:14
%
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer
hath eternal life abiding in him.
		 -- 1 John 3:15
%
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us:
and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
		 -- 1 John 3:16
%
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and
shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of
God in him?
		 -- 1 John 3:17
%
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in
deed and in truth.
		 -- 1 John 3:18
%
And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts
before him.
		 -- 1 John 3:19
%
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth
all things.
		 -- 1 John 3:20
%
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
		 -- 1 John 3:21
%
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his
commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
		 -- 1 John 3:22
%
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his
Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
		 -- 1 John 3:23
%
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And
hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath
given us.
		 -- 1 John 3:24
%
BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are
of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
		 -- 1 John 4:1
%
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
		 -- 1 John 4:2
%
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye
have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
		 -- 1 John 4:3
%
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater
is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
		 -- 1 John 4:4
%
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world
heareth them.
		 -- 1 John 4:5
%
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God
heareth not us.  Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit
of error.
		 -- 1 John 4:6
%
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that
loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
		 -- 1 John 4:7
%
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
		 -- 1 John 4:8
%
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent
his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
		 -- 1 John 4:9
%
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent
his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
		 -- 1 John 4:10
%
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
		 -- 1 John 4:11
%
No man hath seen God at any time.  If we love one another, God dwelleth
in us, and his love is perfected in us.
		 -- 1 John 4:12
%
Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given
us of his Spirit.
		 -- 1 John 4:13
%
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the
Saviour of the world.
		 -- 1 John 4:14
%
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him,
and he in God.
		 -- 1 John 4:15
%
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.  God is love;
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
		 -- 1 John 4:16
%
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day
of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
		 -- 1 John 4:17
%
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because
fear hath torment.  He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
		 -- 1 John 4:18
%
We love him, because he first loved us.
		 -- 1 John 4:19
%
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he
that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom
he hath not seen?
		 -- 1 John 4:20
%
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his
brother also.
		 -- 1 John 4:21
%
WHOSOEVER believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every
one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
		 -- 1 John 5:1
%
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God,
and keep his commandments.
		 -- 1 John 5:2
%
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his
commandments are not grievous.
		 -- 1 John 5:3
%
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the
victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
		 -- 1 John 5:4
%
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus
is the Son of God?
		 -- 1 John 5:5
%
This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water
only, but by water and blood.  And it is the Spirit that beareth witness,
because the Spirit is truth.
		 -- 1 John 5:6
%
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word,
and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
		 -- 1 John 5:7
%
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water,
and the blood: and these three agree in one.
		 -- 1 John 5:8
%
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for
this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
		 -- 1 John 5:9
%
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he
that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not
the record that God gave of his Son.
		 -- 1 John 5:10
%
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this
life is in his Son.
		 -- 1 John 5:11
%
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath
not life.
		 -- 1 John 5:12
%
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the
Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may
believe on the name of the Son of God.
		 -- 1 John 5:13
%
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any
thing according to his will, he heareth us:
		 -- 1 John 5:14
%
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have
the petitions that we desired of him.
		 -- 1 John 5:15
%
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall
ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death.
There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
		 -- 1 John 5:16
%
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
		 -- 1 John 5:17
%
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten
of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
		 -- 1 John 5:18
%
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
		 -- 1 John 5:19
%
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him
that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.  This is the true God,
and eternal life.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols.  Amen.

%
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the
Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
		 -- 2 John 1:3
%
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we
have received a commandment from the Father.
		 -- 2 John 1:4
%
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto
thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
		 -- 2 John 1:5
%
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments.	This is the
commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk
in it.
		 -- 2 John 1:6
%
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.  This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
		 -- 2 John 1:7
%
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought,
but that we receive a full reward.
		 -- 2 John 1:8
%
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ,
hath not God.  He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both
the Father and the Son.
		 -- 2 John 1:9
%
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him
not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
		 -- 2 John 1:10
%
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
		 -- 2 John 1:11

Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and
ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in
health, even as thy soul prospereth.

%
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the
truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
		 -- 3 John 1:3
%
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
		 -- 3 John 1:4
%
Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren,
and to strangers;
		 -- 3 John 1:5
%
Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou
bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
		 -- 3 John 1:6
%
Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of
the Gentiles.

%
We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to
the truth.
		 -- 3 John 1:8
%
I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the
preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

%
Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating
against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither
doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would,
and casteth them out of the church.
		 -- 3 John 1:10
%
Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good.  He that
doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea,

Peace be to thee.  Our friends salute thee.  Greet the friends by name.

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common
salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that
ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto
the saints.

%
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old
ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our
God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord
Jesus Christ.

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this,
how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
afterward destroyed them that believed not.

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own
habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner,
giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh,

Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion,

Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed
about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation,
but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
