Whom God has 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;

Whom God has 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;

For that which I do I know not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. read more. Now if I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

Who also has made us able ministers of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.

But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same veil not taken away in the reading of the old covenant; which veil is done away in Christ.

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.

For, when we were come into Macedonia, our body had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

For I mean not that other men be eased, and you burdened:

But though I be unskilled in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself:

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will:

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will:

Among whom also we all had our behavior 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.

Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto licentiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

That you put off concerning the former way of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becomes saints;

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

For in him dwells all the fullness of the Deity bodily.

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, has he made alive together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

(Touch not; taste not; handle not;

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds;

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.

To the end he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

I desire therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they will marry;

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into 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 with many sorrows.

Who has saved us, and called us with a 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,

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

But has in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good, sensible, just, holy, temperate;

Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is an opponent may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise you.

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

Whom I would have retained with me, that in your stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

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;

For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;

For the word of God is living, 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.

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto maturity; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,

So God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

For such a high priest was befitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

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, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount.

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, in which was the lampstand, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the sanctuary.

Now when these things were thus prepared, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

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?

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshipers once purged should have had no more consciousness of sins.

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. read more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

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.

Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

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.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

For you are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as an animal touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a spear:

Therefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

We have an altar, of which they have no right to eat who serve the tabernacle.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

You adulterers and adulteresses, know you 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.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

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:

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

And the four living creatures had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.

Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sits on the throne shall dwell among them.

And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
