But though even we, or an angel from heaven, preach unto you another gospel, different from that which we have preached to you, let him be an anathema.

As we have before spoken, and I now repeat it again, If any man preach a gospel different from that ye have received, let him be anathema.

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach the glad tidings of him to the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

Afterwards at the expiration of three years I went up unto Jerusalem to pay a visit to Peter, and I abode with him fifteen days.

But when Peter came to Antioch I withstood him to his face, because he was blameable.

And the other Jews were guilty of the same dissimulation with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

as Abraham believed in God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so is it now.

This persuasion cometh not from him who called you.

Let him who is a learner of the word communicate to his instructor in all good things.

as he hath elected us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love:

at the dispensation of the fulness of the appointed times to gather together under one head all things in Christ, whether they be things in heaven or things in earth, in him:

in whom also we have obtained our inheritance, predestinated according to the purpose of him who effectually worketh all things according to the counsel of his own will:

which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the final redemption, acquired by him, come, to the praise of his glory.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation by the knowledge of him;

which he displayed in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,

and hath put all things under his feet, and hath appointed him head over all to the church,

which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

and hath raised us up together with him, and made us sit down together in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus.

for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

in whom we have boldness and access with confidence to God by the faith of him.

Now to him that is able to do above all things, exceeding abundantly, beyond what we ask or think, according to the power which effectually worketh in us;

to him be glory in the church, in Christ Jesus, unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ:

if indeed ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Let him that stole steal no more; but rather labour hard, working with his hands that which is good, that he may have something to give to him that is in want.

And ye masters, do the same things to them, avoiding menacing language: knowing that you also yourselves have a master in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.

For this favour on the part of Christ is granted you, not only that ye should believe on him, but also that ye should suffer for his sake;

Wherefore God also hath transcendently exalted him, and bestowed on him a name which is above every name:

For I have no one like minded with him, who will genuinely care for your affairs.

But ye have known the trial of him, that, as a son with a father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

Him therefore I hope to send immediately as soon as I see clearly what will become of me.

For sick indeed he was, nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him once more ye may rejoice, and I be less sorrowful.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and honourably treat those that are such:

and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is by the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

that I may know him, and the virtue of his resurrection, and communion with his sufferings, being conformed to his death;

who shall transform our body of humiliation, that it may be conformed to his body of glory, according to the effectual working of him who is able to subdue even all things to himself.

that ye may walk worthy of the Lord, well pleasing him in all things, in every good work fruitful, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

for by him were all things created, celestial and terrestrial, visible or invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers, all were created by him, and for him:

and he is before all, and by him all things subsist.

For it hath pleased the Father that in him all fulness should dwell;

and by him to reconcile all things to himself, making peace by the blood of his cross: by him, I say, whether they be things on earth, or things in the heavens.

As therefore ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him:

rooted and built up on him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;

and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power:

buried with him in baptism, in which also ye have been raised up together with him by faith, the energy of God, who raised him from the dead.

And you, who were dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him, freely forgiving you all trespasses;

When Christ shall appear, who is our life, then shall you also with him be manifested in glory.

and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge, after the image of him that created him.

And everything that ye do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

There salute you Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner, and Mark nephew to Barnabas, concerning whom ye have received injunctions; if he come unto you, receive him,

For I bear him witness that he hath great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.

For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again, so also those that have fallen asleep for Jesus shall God bring with him.

who died for us, that whether we sleep, or whether we wake, we may live together with him.

that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified by you, and you by him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.

NOW we entreat you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him:

And if any man obey not our word by letter, mark that man, and maintain no society with him, that he may be ashamed.

Yet regard him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

And I render thanks to him who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, that he hath counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

But for this end obtained I mercy, that in me, the chief, Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to those who should after believe in him unto eternal life.

REBUKE not harshly an aged man, but admonish him as a father; the younger men as brethren;

But if any man or woman who believes hath widows their relations, let him provide for them, and let not the church be burdened; that there may be a sufficiency for the real widows.

No man who enters the army involves himself with secular affairs; that he may please the person who hath enlisted him.

It is a faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

if we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him: if we renounce him, he also will renounce us:

Nevertheless the stable foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, the Lord knoweth those who belong to him. And, let every man who mentions the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.

and that they may escape out of the snare of the devil, who have been captured by him for his will.

Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is very useful to me in the ministry.

Alexander the brazier did me many ill offices: the Lord repay him according to his works:

They profess to know God; but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

whom I have sent back; thou therefore receive him, even as my own bowels:

For to this end perhaps was he separated from thee for a season, that thou mightest receive him for ever;

If therefore thou holdest me a sharer with thee, receive him as myself.

For to which of the angels ever said he, "My Son art thou, I have to-day begotten thee?" And again, "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"

And again, when he introduces the first-begotten into the world, he saith, "Let all the angels of God also worship him."

how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which, commencing at the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who had heard him;

But one in a certain passage testifieth, saying, "What is man, that thou rememberest him, or a son of man, that thou regardest him?"

"Thou hast made him for a little while lower than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast placed him over the works of thy hands:

thou hast subjected all things under his feet." Now in subjecting all things to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him; but at present we see not yet all things subjected to him.

For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to perfect the Author of their salvation by sufferings.

And again, "I will place my confidence in him." And again, "Behold! Here am I, and the children which God hath given me."

Seeing therefore that the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself, in exact resemblance, partook of the same, that by death he might destroy him who held the power of death, that is, the devil;

For he verily took not on him the angelic nature, but assumed that of the seed of Abraham.

who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was in all his house.

For some, though they had heard, provoked him; yet not all who came out of Egypt by Moses.

Even creation is not invisible before him, but all things are naked, and fully displayed before his eyes, to whom we must give our account.

So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he [gave it] who spake to him, "Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee."

who in the days of his flesh, with strong crying and tears, having offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard for his reverential awe,

and complete himself, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him;

and yet have fallen away: for they crucify again to themselves the Son of God, and expose him to public infamy.

FOR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, a priest of God most high, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

But he who derived not his genealogy from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises;

And here indeed dying men receive the tithes, but there he hath a testimony borne to him that he liveth.

For he was as yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.

(for they indeed were made priests without an oath; but he with an oath, by him who said unto him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")

Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

which figurative representation [continues] unto the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, with respect to conscience, make him perfect who performs the services,

so Christ having been once offered in sacrifice to bear the sins of men, will appear the second time without sin, to those who expect him, for their salvation.
