Let us live decently, as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy.

Therefore, let us no longer pass judgment on one another, but rather decide this: not to place a cause for stumbling or a temptation before a brother.

Therefore do not let your good be slandered.

So then, let us pursue {what promotes peace} and {what edifies one another}.

Let each one of us please his neighbor for his good, for the purpose of edification.

And again, "Praise the Lord, all the Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him."

so that, just as it is written, "The one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks [himself] to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, in order that he may become wise.

So then, let no one boast in people. For all [things] are yours,

Thus let a person consider us as servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysteries.

So then, let us celebrate the feast, not with the old leaven or with the leaven of wickedness and sinfulness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

But because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. The brother or the sister is not bound in such [cases]. But God has called us in peace.

But to each one as the Lord has apportioned. As God has called each one, thus let him live--and thus I order in all the churches.

Were you called [while] a slave? Do not let it be a concern to you. But if indeed you are able to become free, rather make use of [it].

But if anyone thinks he is behaving dishonorably concerning his virgin, if she is past her prime and it ought to be thus, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin. Let them marry.

Let no one seek {his own good} but the [good] of the other.

For if a woman does not cover herself, let her [hair] be shorn off. But if [it is] shameful for a woman to [have her head] shorn or shaved, let her cover her [head].

But let a person examine himself, and in this way let him eat from the bread and let him drink from the cup.

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And I will give directions about the remaining [matters] whenever I come.

But if there is no interpreter, he must be silent in the church, but let him speak to himself and to God.

Let two or three prophets speak, and the others evaluate.

But if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

But let all [things] be [done] decently and according to proper procedure.

If according to a human perspective I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what benefit [is it] to me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

Therefore do not let anyone disdain him, but send him [on his way] in peace in order that he may come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.

If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!

Therefore [since we] have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of body and spirit, accomplishing holiness in the fear of God.

Let such a person consider this: that what we are in word by letters [when we] are absent, [we will] also [be] in {actions} [when we] are present.

But "the one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."

Again I say, do not let anyone think I am foolish. But indeed, if [you do], accept me even as foolish, in order that I also may boast a little.

But let [it] be. I have not been a burden to you, but [because I] was crafty, I took you by cunning.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim a gospel to you contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let him be accursed!

As we said before, and now I say again, if anyone is proclaiming a gospel [to] you contrary to what you have received, let him be accursed!

For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not let your freedom [become] an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in someone else.

And let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, [if we] do not give up.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all [people], and especially to those who belong to the household of faith.

Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I carry on my body the marks of Jesus.

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger,

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these [things] the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

Therefore as many as [are] perfect, {let us hold this opinion}, and if you think anything differently, God will reveal this also to you.

Let your gentleness be made known to all people. The Lord [is] near.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Therefore do not let anyone judge you with reference to eating or drinking or participation in a feast or a new moon or a Sabbath,

Let no one condemn you, taking pleasure in humility and the worship of angels, going into detail [about] [the things] which he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom, with psalms, hymns, [and] spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God,

Let your speech always [be] with grace, seasoned with salt, so that [you] may know how it is necessary for you to answer each one.

Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for [that day will not come] unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

and these also must be tested first; then let them serve [if they] are above reproach.

Let no one look down on your youth, but be an example for the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Let a widow be put on the list [if she] is not less than sixty years [old], the wife of one husband,

Speak these [things] and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, "And let all [the] angels of God worship him."

Therefore let us fear, [while there] remains a promise of entering into his rest, that none of you appear to fall short of [it].

Therefore, let us make every effort to enter into that rest, in order that no one may fall in the same pattern of disobedience.

Therefore, [because we] have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.

Therefore let us approach with confidence to the throne of grace, in order that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Therefore, leaving behind the elementary message about Christ, let us move on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God,

let us approach with a true heart in the full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled [clean] from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Let us hold fast to the confession of [our] hope without wavering, for the one who promised [is] faithful.

And let us think about {how to stir one another up to love} and good works,

Therefore, [since] we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, putting aside every weight and {the sin that so easily ensnares us}, let us run with patient endurance the race that has been set before us,

Therefore, [since we] are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be thankful, through which let us serve God acceptably, with awe and reverence.

Therefore through him let us offer up a sacrifice of praise {continually} to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.

And let endurance have [its] perfect effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask for [it] from God, who gives to all without reservation and not reproaching, and it will be given to him.

But let him ask for [it] in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about.

Now let the brother of humble circumstances boast in his high position,

Who [is] wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good behavior his works, with the humility of wisdom.

Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloominess.

Now above all, my brothers, do not swear either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no, no, in order that you may not fall under judgment.

Let your adornment not be the external [kind], braiding hair and putting on gold jewelry or putting on [fine] clothing,

If anyone speaks, [let it be] as the oracles of God; if anyone serves, [let it be] as by the strength that God provides, so that in all [things] God will be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power {forever and ever}. Amen.

By all means do not let anyone of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.

Now, dear friends, do not let this one thing escape your [notice], that one day with the Lord [is] like a thousand years, and a thousand years [is] like one day.

Little children, let no one deceive you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as that one is righteous.

Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.

Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been fathered by God and knows God.

The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will grant to him to eat from the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.'

The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will never be harmed by the second death.'

The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give to him [some] of the hidden manna, and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, that no one knows except the one who receives [it].'

The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'

The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'

The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'

The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'"

If anyone has an ear, let him hear!

Here is wisdom: the one who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number, and his number [is] six hundred sixty-six.

Let us rejoice and be glad and give him the glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come, and his bride has prepared herself.

The one who does evil, let him do evil still, and the defiled, let him be defiled still, and the righteous, let him practice righteousness still, and the holy, let him be holy still."

And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And the one who hears, let him say, "Come!" And the one who is thirsty, let him come. The one who wants, let him take the water of life freely.
