The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher;

But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled;

To the young men give orders to be wise and serious-minded:

Because it is God's pleasure that foolish and narrow-minded men may be put to shame by your good behaviour:

A serious-minded man, fearing God with all his family; he gave much money to the poor, and made prayer to God at all times.

And whoever makes himself high will be made low, and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.

And out of the high seat came flames and voices and thunders. And seven lights of fire were burning before the high seat, which are the seven Spirits of God;

And before the high seat there was, as it seemed, a clear sea of glass; and in the middle of the high seat, and round about it, four beasts full of eyes round about.

The four and twenty rulers go down on their faces before him who is seated on the high seat, and give worship to him who is living for ever and ever, and take off their crowns before the high seat, saying,

And all the angels were round about the high seat, and about the rulers and the four beasts; and they went down on their faces before the high seat, and gave worship to God, saying,

This is why they are before the high seat of God; and they are his servants day and night in his house: and he who is seated on the high seat will be a tent over them.

I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;

And Annas, the high priest, was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all the relations of the high priest.

It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

But the Jerusalem on high is free, which is our mother.

May have strength to see with all the saints how wide and long and high and deep it is,

For this reason he says, He went up on high, taking his prisoners with him, and gave freely to men.

I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.

How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root, it became dry and dead.

And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One.

He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts,

And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and made them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves: and he was changed in form before them:

Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;

Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.

In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:

Being named by God a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.

And it is our desire that you may all keep the same high purpose in certain hope to the end:

Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

But only the high priest went into the second, once a year, not without making an offering of blood for himself and for the errors of the people:

But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his;

For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents.

But a certain one of those who were near took out his sword, and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.

And they took Jesus away to the high priest; and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes.

And Peter had come after him at a distance, even into the house of the high priest; and he was seated with the captains, warming himself in the light of the fire.

And the high priest got up in the middle of them, and said to Jesus, Do you say nothing in answer? what is it which these say against you?

But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioning him said, Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One?

And the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, What more need have we of witnesses?

And while Peter was down in the open square of the building, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came;

But specially those who go after the unclean desires of the flesh, and make sport of authority. Ready to take chances, uncontrolled, they have no fear of saying evil of those in high places:

For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;

There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.

He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his father:

And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God.

Then Mary got up and went quickly into the high lands, to a town of Judah;

He has put down kings from their seats, lifting up on high the men of low degree.

And you, child, will be named the prophet of the Most High: you will go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways;

When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.

These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;

Straight away I was in the Spirit: and I saw a high seat in heaven, and one was seated on it;

And to my eyes he was like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was an arch of light round the high seat, like an emerald.

And round about the high seat were four and twenty seats: and on them I saw four and twenty rulers seated, clothed in white robes; and on their heads crowns of gold.

And when the beasts give glory and honour to him who is seated on the high seat, to him who is living for ever and ever,

And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the high seat, a book with writing inside it and on the back, shut with seven stamps of wax.

And I saw in the middle of the high seat and of the four beasts, and in the middle of the rulers, a Lamb in his place, which seemed as if it had been put to death, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

And he came and took it out of the right hand of him who was seated on the high seat.

And I saw, and there came to my ears the sound of a great number of angels round about the high seat and the beasts and the rulers; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

And to my ears came the voice of everything in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and of all things which are in them, saying, To him who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb, may blessing and honour and glory and power be given for ever and ever.

And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Come down on us, covering us from the face of him who is seated on the high seat, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

After these things I saw a great army of people more than might be numbered, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and languages, taking their places before the high seat and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and with branches in their hands,

Saying with a loud voice, Salvation to our God who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb.

For the Lamb who is on the high seat will be their keeper and their guide to fountains of living water: and God will make glad their eyes for ever.

And another angel came and took his place at the altar, having a gold vessel for burning perfume; and there was given to him much perfume, so that he might put it with the prayers of all the saints on the gold altar which was before the high seat.

And the four and twenty rulers, who are seated before God on their high seats, went down on their faces and gave worship to God, saying,

And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to have rule over all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was taken up to God and to his high seat.

And they made as it seemed a new song before the high seat, and before the four beasts and the rulers: and no man might have knowledge of the song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, even those from the earth whom God has made his for a price.

And the fifth let what was in his vessel come out on the high seat of the beast; and his kingdom was made dark; and they were biting their tongues for pain.

And the seventh let what was in his vessel come out on the air; and there came out a great voice from the house of God, from the high seat, saying, It is done.

And he gave a loud cry, saying, Babylon the great has come down from her high place, she has come to destruction and has become a place of evil spirits, and of every unclean spirit, and a hole for every unclean and hated bird.

And the four and twenty rulers and the four beasts went down on their faces and gave worship to God who was seated on the high seat, saying, Even so, praise to the Lord.

And a voice came from the high seat, saying, Give praise to our God, all you his servants, small and great, in whom is the fear of him.

And I saw high seats, and they were seated on them, and the right of judging was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who were put to death for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and those who did not give worship to the beast, or to his image, and had not his mark on their brows or on their hands; and they were living and ruling with Christ a thousand years.

And I saw the dead, great and small, taking their places before the high seat; and the books were open, and another book was open, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things which were in the books, even by their works.

And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God.

And he who is seated on the high seat said, See, I make all things new. And he said, Put it in the book; for these words are certain and true.
