And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is through all the churches: (And not only so,

Lest if any of the Macedonians come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say, you) be ashamed of this confident boasting.

And this I say, He that soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully:

Do ye look at the outward appearance of things? If any man be confident, that he is Christ's, let him again think this of himself, that as he is Christ's, so we also are Christ's.

For his letters indeed, say they, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

yet still within our province, abundantly, So as to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, not to boast in another's province of things made ready to our hand.

But I fear lest as the serpent deceived Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from simplicity toward Christ.

I say again, Let no man think me a fool; but if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I also may boast a little.

Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, in dangers from my own countrymen, in dangers from the heathen; in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers in the sea, in dangers among false brethren:

Therefore I am well pleased in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

But be it so: I did not burden you: but being crafty, I caught you with guile.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Christ who called you by his grace to another gospel, Which is not another;

As we have said before, so I say now again, if any preach to you another gospel than that ye received, let him be accursed.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

But other of the apostles I saw none, save James, the brother of the Lord.

And they who undoubtedly were something, (but whatsoever they were, it is no difference to me; God accepteth no man's person) they who undoubtedly were something in conference, added nothing to me.

But on the contrary, when they saw that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision:

And the other Jews also dissembled with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.

But when I saw, that they walked not uprightly, according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, If thou being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to judaize?

Are ye so thoughtless? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Have ye suffered so many things in vain?

So then they who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse;

I speak after the manner of men: though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, none disannulleth or addeth thereto.

And this I say, the covenant which was before confirmed of God through Christ, the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

And if ye are Christ's, then are ye the seed of Abraham, and heirs according to the promise.

Now I say the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

So we also, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.

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

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bond-woman, but of the free.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, If ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

I say then, walk by the Spirit, and fulfil not the desire of the flesh.

And they that are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires.

Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Ye see how large a letter I have written to you with my own hand.

having broken down the middle wall of partition, Having abolished by his flesh the enmity, the law of commandments, through his decrees, that he might make the two one new man in himself, so making peace:

And to let all men see, what is the fellowship of the mystery, which was hidden from the beginning of the world by God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

This therefore I say and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles, in the vanity of your mind:

But ye have not so learned Christ; Since ye have heard him,

And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted; forgiving one another; as God also for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

See then that ye walk circumspectly,

(and he is the Saviour of the body) Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Men ought so to love their wives as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself.

But let every one of you in particular so love his wife as himself: and let the wife reverence her husband.

So that my bonds in Christ have been made manifest in the whole palace, and to all others:

According to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

Only let your behaviour be worthy the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear concerning you, that ye stand fast, in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,

Having the same conflict, which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Brethren, be ye followers together of me, and mark them who walk so as ye have us for an example.

Therefore, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.

Rejoice in the Lord always: again, I say, rejoice.

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of C?sar's houshold.

And this I say, that no man may beguile you with inticing words.

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

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas; (touching whom ye have received directions, if he come to you,

And say to Archippus, Take heed that thou fulfil the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord.

So that ye became examples to all that believed in Macedonia and Achaia.

For from you the word of the Lord sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith toward God went abroad in every place also, so that we need not speak any thing.

But as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who trieth our hearts.

So, loving you tenderly, we were ready to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but our own souls also, because ye were dear to us.

But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time, in presence, not in heart, laboured with great desire the more abundantly to see your face.

But now when Timotheus was come to us from you, and had brought us the good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, as we also to see you:

Night and day praying exceedingly, that we may see your face, and perfect that which is wanting in your faith.

For if we believe, that Jesus died and rose again, so will God bring with him those also that sleep in Christ.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them that are asleep.

Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord.

For ye yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

When they say, peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape.

See that none render to any man evil for evil, but ever follow that which is good, both to one another and to all men.

So that we ourselves glory of you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and sufferings which ye endure:

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God as God, declaring himself that he is God.

And therefore God shall send them strong delusion, so that that they shall believe a lie,

Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing, but wrought with labour and toil, night and day, that we might not burden any of you.

The Salutation of Paul, with my own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither the things they say, nor those concerning which they confidently affirm.

Take heed to thyself and to thy teaching: continue in them, for in so doing thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.

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

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man hath seen, neither can see; to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

O Timotheus, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding prophane, empty babblings, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called: Which some professing have erred from the faith.

Longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

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

Therefore I suffer all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is through Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, consecrated and fit for the master's use, prepared for every good work.

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth: men of corrupt minds, void of judgment as to the faith.

Paul a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in things concerning the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is after godliness,

that he who is on the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.

I Paul have written with my own hand; I will repay it; not to say unto thee, that thou owest also thyself to me besides.

Having confidence of thy obedience I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.

Being made so much higher than the angels, as he hath by inheritance a more excellent name than they.

For to which of the angels did he ever say, 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?

But to which of the angels did he ever say, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation, which began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that had heard him?

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. Now in putting all things in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him: but now we do not yet see all things put under him.

But we see Jesus crowned with glory and honour, for the suffering of death, who was made a little lower than the angels, that by the grace of God he might taste death for every man.

Where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

So we see, they could not enter in, because of unbelief.

entered not in because of unbelief, He again, after so long a time, fixeth a certain day, saying by David, To-day; as it was said before, To day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
