And what agreement to the temple of God with images? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God said, That I will dwell in them, and will go round about; and will be their God, and they shall be a people to me.

Therefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you.

And I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

And not as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by the will of God.

And in this I give an opinion: for this is profitable to you, which no only to do, but to will, ye began before from last year.

And now also complete ye the doing; that as a forwardness to will so also to complete, out of what is possessed.

And being present with you, and having wanted, I acted not with negligence to any: (for the brethren having come from Macedonia filled up still more my want:) and I kept myself in every thing not burdensome to you, and I will keep.

And what I do, and I will do, that I shall not cut off the occasion of those wishing the occasion; that in what they boast, they be found as also we.

If I must boast, I will boast things of my weakness.

Indeed it is not profitable to me to boast. For I will come to visions and Revelation of the Lord.

Of such a one will I boast: and of myself I will not boast, except in my weakness.

For if I be willing to boast, I shall not be mad; for the truth will I say: and I spare, lest any reckon for me above what he sees me, or what he hears of me.

And he said to me, My grace suffices thee: for my power is perfected in weakness. Therefore very willingly will I boast rather in my weaknesses, that Christ's power may lodge upon me.

Behold, I have prepared to come to you the third time; and I will not act with negligence to you: for I seek not your things, but you: for children ought not to treasure up for parents, but parents for children.

And I very willingly will expend and be expended for your souls; if also loving you more abundantly, the less I should be loved.

For I am afraid, lest somehow, having come, I find you not such; as I will, and I find you such as ye wish not: lest somehow, strifes, jealousies, wraths, intrigues, calumnies, whisperings, inflations, derangements:

I have said before, and say beforehand, as being present the second; and being away now I write to them having sinned before, and to all the rest, that, if I should come again, I will not spare:

Having given himself for our sins, that he might take us away out of this present evil time, according to the will of God and our Father:

I have trusted to you in the Lord, that ye will have nothing different in mind; and he troubling you shall bear judgment, whoever he be.

And let each try his own work, and then in himself alone will he have boasting, and not in another.

Paul, sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the holy ones being in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

Having determined us beforehand for adoption as a son by Jesus Christ to him, according to benevolence of his will,

Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his benevolence which he purposed in himself:

In whom also we were cast by lot, determined beforehand according to the purpose of him performing all things according to the counsel of his will:

Wherefore he says, Awake, who sleeping, and arise from the dead, and Christ will enlighten thee.

For this be not foolish, but understanding what the will of the Lord.

Not with eye-service, as menpleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul:

And that ye also might know the things concerning me, what I do, Tychicus will make all things known to you, the dearly beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord:

Confident of this same, that he having begun a good work in you will complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

For what? but in any manner, whether in pretence, or truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, and certainly I will rejoice.

For God is working in you also to will and to work by benevolence.

For I have none having a like soul, who naturally will have care for the things concerning you.

Therefore, as many as are completed, let us have this in mind; and if in any thing ye think otherwise, God will also reveal this to you.

Who will change the body of our humiliation, for it to be conformable to the body of his glory, according to the operation by which he is able to place all things under himself.

And God will fill up all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Paul, sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy the brother,

For this also we, from the day which we heard, ceased not praying for you, and asking that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

Which things truly are having the word of wisdom in worship according to one's will, and humility, and prodigality of the body; not in any honour to satisfying the flesh.

Epaphras, who of you, greets you, a servant of Christ, always contending for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfected and completed in all the will of God.

For this is the will of God, your consecration, that ye should keep away from fornication:

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose up, so also God by Jesus Christ will bring with him them having slept.

In every thing return thanks: for this the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

Faithful he calling you, who also will do.

And then shall the Lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy with the spirit of his mouth, and leave unemployed in the splendor of his arrival:

But the Lord is faithful, who supports you, and will watch from the evil.

And we have had confidence in the Lord for you, that what we announce to you, and ye do and will do.

For also when we were with you, this we proclaimed to you, that if any will not work, neither should he eat.

I will therefore men shall pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without anger and reasoning.

Paul, the sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

And what thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these things lay by for faithful men, who will be sufficient to teach others also.

If we endure, we shall also reign together: if we deny, he will also deny us:

And avoid profane, empty discourses: for they will proceed to more of profanation.

And this word as a gangrene, will have an eating ulcer: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;

That they may return to a state of sobriety from the snare of the devil, being taken alive by him at his will.

Devoid of natural affection, not observing treaties, accusers, ungoverned, wild, not loving the good,

For the time will be when they will not hear sound doctrine; but according to their own eager desires they will heap up to themselves teachers, feeling itchings for a report;

And truly from the truth will they turn away the hearing, and be turned aside to fictions.

As to the rest, the crown of justice is laid up for me, which the Lord will assign to me in that day, the just judge: and not only to me, but also to all them having loved his appearance.

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and save for his heavenly kingdom: to whom the glory for the times of times. Amen.

But without thy judgment I would do nothing; that good might not be as according to necessity, but according to free will.

I Paul wrote with my hand, I will pay back: that I say not to thee, for thou owest thyself to me also in addition.

Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou wilt do above what I say to thee.

For to which of the angels once said he, Thou art my Son, I have this day begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for Father, and he shall be to me for Son?

God confirming the testimony, together with signs and wonders, and various powers, and partitions of the Holy Spirit, according to his will

Saying, I will announce thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church will I praise thee.

And again, I will be confident in him. And again, Behold I and the young children which God gave me.

In that it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, ye should not harden your hearts, as in the exasperation.

And this will we do, if God even permit.

Saying, Truly will I praise thee, and multiplying will I multiply thee.

(For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:)

Who serve the pattern and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was given an intimation of the divine will, being about to complete the tent: for, See, says he, thou make all things according to the type shewed thee in the mount.

For rebuking them, he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, and I will complete for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant:

For this the covenant which I will set to the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; giving my laws into their mind, and upon their hearts will I write them: and I will be to them for God, and they shall be to me for a people:

For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins and their injustices will I remember no more.

For where a will, the necessity for the death of him having willed to be brought forward.

For a will is firm by the dead: since it has no power when he having willed lives.

Then said I, Behold, I am here (in the head of the book it was written of me,) O God, to do thy will.

Then he said, Behold, I am here to do, O God, thy will. He takes away the first, that he might set up the second.

In which will we are consecrated by the bringing in of the body of Jesus Christ once.

This the covenant which I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord, giving my laws upon their heart, and upon their minds will I write them;

And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

For we know him having said, Vengeance to me, I will give back, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge his people.

For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

For yet a little while only, he coming will come, and will not tarry.

And what more do I say? for the time will fail me recounting of Gedeon, Barak, and also Samson and Jephthae; David also, and Samuel, and the prophets:

See that ye refuse not him speaking. For if they escaped not, having refused him giving an intimation of the divine will on earth, much more we, who having turned back from him from the heavens:

Marriage honoured in all, and the bed unpolluted: but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

The disposition exempt from avarice; being contented with present circumstances: for he has said, I will not send thee back, nor forsake thee.

So that being confident, we say, The Lord aiding me, and I will not fear what man will do to me.

Put you in proper order in every good work for doing his will, doing in you the thing pleasing before him, by Jesus Christ; to whom glory for the time of times. Amen.

But certain will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from my works.

And wilt thou know, O empty man, that faith without works is dead?

Behold also ships, being so great, and driven by hard winds, are led by the smallest rudder, wherever the desire of him steering should will.

Be subjected therefore to God. Resist the accuser, and he will flee from you.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse the hands, ye sinful; and purify the hearts, ye double souled.

Be ye humbled before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

For you should say, If the Lord will, and we live, and should do this, or that.

And the prayer of faith shall save him being sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he should have wrought sins, it shall be remitted to him.

(For so is the will of God, those doing good to silence the want of knowledge of the foolish men:)
