But this I say, brothers, the time is shortened. It is the remaining, so that also those who have wives may be as not having,

and those who weep, as not weeping, and those who rejoice, as not rejoicing, and those who buy, as not possessing,

and those who use this world, as not making full use, for the form of this world passes away.

But take heed lest somehow this privilege of yours becomes a stumbling-block to those who are weak.

My defense to those who examine me is this.

Know ye not that those being employed at the sacred things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar are partakers at the altar?

And so the Lord commanded those who proclaim the good-news to live from the good-news.

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews, to those under law, as under law, so that I might gain those under law,

to those without law, as without law (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ), so that I might gain men without law.

Know ye not that those who run in an arena, indeed all run, but one receives the prize? So run that ye may seize it.

And every man who strives for mastery exercises self-control in all things. Indeed therefore those men do it so that they might obtain a perishable crown, but we an imperishable.

But these things became our examples, for us not to be men who lust for evil things as those also lusted.

Now all these things happened to those men for examples, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the ends of the ages came.

Look at Israel according to flesh. Those who eat the sacrifices, are they not partakers of the altar?

If any of those unbelievers invites you, and ye want to go, eat everything being set before you, inquiring of nothing because of the conscience.

For have ye no houses to eat and to drink in? Or do ye disparage the church of God, and humiliate those not having? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

And those things of the body presumed to be without esteem, we place around these more abundant worth. And our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety,

Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving. But prophesying is not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

Therefore whether I or those men, so we proclaim, and so ye believed.

Then also those who slept in Christ have perished.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.

But each in his own order. Christ the first fruit, then those of Christ at his coming.

who encourages us in all our affliction, in order for us to be able to encourage those in every affliction, through the encouragement of which we ourselves are encouraged by God.

Because we are a fragrance of Christ to God, in those being saved and in those perishing:

But even if our good-news is concealed, it is concealed in those who are perishing,

For also those who are in the tent groan, being burdened, not in that we want to undress, but to clothe ourselves, so that the mortal may be swallowed up by the life.

For we are not commending ourselves again to you, but giving you an opportunity of boasting about us, so that ye may have for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

And he died for all so that those who live would no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and was raised.

For it is not, so that ease is for others and stress for you, but out of parity your abundance at the present time is for the need of those men.

So that the abundance of those men may also happen for your need, so that there may become equity,

For we dare not classify or compare ourselves to some of those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves to themselves, do not understand.

For I reckon to come short in nothing of those, superlative apostles.

But what I do, I also will do, so that I may cut off the opportunity of those who desire an opportunity, that in what they boast, they might appear just as we also.

I have become foolish, boasting. Ye compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I came short in nothing of those, superlative apostles, even though I am nothing.

lest having come again my God will make me low toward you, and I will bewail many of those who have sinned previously, and who did not repent from the trash and fornication and licentiousness that they committed.

I have told you before, and I say in advance, as present the second time, and now absent, I write to those who have previously sinned, and to all the others, that if I come to it again, I will not spare,

And I went up according to revelation, and I declared to them the good-news that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of repute, lest somehow I might be running or ran in vain.

But that issue was because of those FALSE brothers smuggled in, who sneaked in to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us,

But from those who were reputed to be something (what kind they were formerly, it makes no difference to me, God does not accept a personage of man), for those who were of repute added nothing to me,

and James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, when they understood the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship. So that we were for the Gentiles, and they for me

Ye know therefore that those from faith, these are sons of Abraham.

So then those from faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

But scripture confined all things under sin, so that the promise from faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

so that he might redeem those under law, so that we might receive the sonship.

But of course not knowing God then, ye were in bondage to those in nature who are not gods,

Tell me those desiring to be under law, do ye not hear the law?

O that those who trouble you would even cut it all off.

envyings, murders, intoxications, revelings, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, as I also did forewarn, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

And those of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and the lusts.

So then as we have time, let us work what is good toward all men, and especially toward those belonging to a household of the faith.

For not even those who have been circumcised themselves keep law, but they want you to be circumcised, so that they may boast in thy flesh.

And after coming he preached good-news, peace to you, to those far off and to those near,

Let no corrupt speech go out of your mouth, rather if there is any good word for edification of a need, so that it may give grace to those who hear.

The grace is with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptibility. Truly.

And not being frightened in anything by those who oppose, which is indeed a sign of destruction to them, but to you of salvation, and this from God.

Brothers, become fellow-imitators of me, and watch those who so walk, just as ye have us for an example.

All the sanctified salute you, and especially those of the house of Caesar.

For I want you to know how great a struggle I have about you, and those at Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh.

Bondmen, obey in all things those masters according to flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God.

Walk in wisdom toward those outside, redeeming the time,

For I testify about him, that he has much zeal for you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.

in order for you to become examples to all those who believe, in Macedonia and in Achaia.

so that ye may walk properly toward those outside, and may have nothing lacking.

But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who are asleep, so that ye may not grieve, as also the others who have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and arose, so also those who became asleep through Jesus, God will bring with him.

For this we say to you in the word of Lord, that we who are alive, who remain for the coming of the Lord, will no, not precede those who became asleep.

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are intoxicated get drunk at night.

And we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who labor among you, and who lead you in Lord, and who admonish you,

Since it is a righteous thing according to God to repay restriction to those who restrict you,

in a fire of flame rendering vengeance to those who have not known God, and to those not obeying the good-news of our Lord Jesus Christ.

when he comes to be glorified in his sanctified, and to be marveled in that day by all those who believe (because our testimony among you was believed).

and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, in return for which, they did not accept the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.

so that they might be condemned--all those who did not believe the truth, but who delighted in unrighteousness.

But because of this I obtained mercy, so that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.

for kings and all those who are in prominence, so that we may live a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and propriety.

And he must also have good testimony from those outside, lest he may fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

For those who serve well will acquire to themselves a good standing, and much boldness in the faith in Christ Jesus.

forbidding to marry, to abstain from foods, which God created for partaking with thankfulness by those who believe and know the truth.

Hold firm to thyself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this thou will save both thyself and those who hear thee.

But if any man does not provide for his own, and especially those belonging his household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

being testified in good works: if she has reared children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the feet of the sanctified, if she has relieved those who are afflicted, if she has followed every good work.

Let the elders who rule well be regarded worthy of double compensation, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.

Those who sin, rebuke in the sight of all, so that the others may also have fear.

Likewise also good works are evident, and those faring otherwise cannot be hid.

And those who have believing masters, let them not disparage them because they are brothers, instead let them serve more because they are believers and beloved--those who are recipients of the benefit. Teach and exhort these things

If any man teaches something different, and does not associate with wholesome words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine according to piety,

But those who want to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, which sink men in destruction and ruin.

which he will show in his own times, the blessed and only Potentate, the King of those who are kings, and Lord of those who are lords,

This thou know, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

Remind them of these things, solemnly testifying in the sight of the Lord, not to brawl verbally, to nothing useful, to the ruin of those who hear.

Nevertheless the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, Lord knows those who are his, and, Let every man who names the name of Lord keep away from unrighteousness.

And flee juvenile impulses, but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.

in mildness correcting those who oppose. Perhaps God may grant them repentance for recognition of the truth,

for from these are those who creep into houses, and take captive petty women laden with sins, being led away by various impulses,

But they will not advance in much more, for their folly will be evident to all men, as also that of those men came to be.

And also all those who want to live devoutly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

holding firm the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may also be able to exhort by the sound doctrine, and to correct those who contradict.

For there are also many insubordinate men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those from circumcision,

Truly to the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
