But when these have been remitted, there is no more any offering for sin.

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the custom of some, but exhorting one another; all the more as you behold the Day drawing near.

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fiery indignation which is about to devour the adversaries.

But ever call to mind the former days, in which, after having been enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings;

But it is by faith that my Righteous One will live, And if he draws back, my soul takes no pleasure in him.

"But we are not of defections unto perdition, but of faith unto the gaining of the soul."

These all died in faith, not having yet received the promises; nay, but they saw them from afar, and hailed them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

but now they are longing for a better homeland, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; and he has prepared a city for them.

By faith he left Egypt, not because he feared the wrath of the king, but he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

For they only disciplined us for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, that we may share his holiness.

Now no discipline seems for the present to be joyous, but grievous; but afterward it yields the peaceable fruits of righteousness to those who have been trained under it.

make straight path for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

whose voice then shook the earth, but now he has promised, saying, Once again, once for all, I make not only earth, but heaven also to tremble.

For we have not here an abiding city, but we are earnestly seeking the city that is to be.

But I entreat you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

But let endurance have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and entire, not lacking in anything.

But let him ask in faith, without wavering; for he who wavers is like a surge of the sea, wind-driven and tossed.

but a rich brother, in his humiliation; because like the flower of the grass the rich man will pass away.

But each man is tempted by his own lusts that allure and entice him.

But the man who looks closely into the perfect law??he law of liberty??nd continues looking, this man will be blessed in his deed because he is not a hearer who forgets, but a doer who does.

If a man thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own religion,

But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you to court?

For he who said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not Kill. Now if you do not commit adultery, but if you do kill, you have transgressed the Law.

For judgment is without mercy to the man who has showed no mercy. but mercy glories in the face of judgment.

and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, find warmth and food for yourselves," but at the same time you do not give the necessaries of the body, what good would that do them?

But do you want to be convinced, O foolish man, that faith apart from deeds is barren?

But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, do not be boasting of that, and be false to the truth.

Such wisdom is not that which is descending from on high, but is earthly, sensual, demonlike.

But the wisdom which comes from on high is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, conciliatory, overflowing with mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without insincerity.

But he gives more and more grace. therefore it is said, God ever resists the proud; but to the humble he gives grace continually.

Do not be talking against each other, brothers. He who is talking against a brother and condemning his brothers is talking against the Law and condemning the Law. But if you are condemning the Law, you are not a doer of the Law, but a judge.

But One is your Lawgiver and Judge??e who is able to save and to destroy. But you, who are you, to be condemning your neighbor?

when all the time you do not know what will happen on the morrow. For what is your life? You are but a mist, appearing for a brief time, and then vanishing.

But now you are glorying in these insolent boastings of yours; all such glorying is evil.

It was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were ministering the truths which have now been announced to you, by those who preached the gospel to you, through the help of the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven??ruths into which angels long to look.

but become yourselves holy in your whole manner of living, as He who has called you is holy,

but with precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even the blood of Christ.

He was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake.

For you have been born anew, not of perishable, but of imperishable seed, by the living, lasting word of God.

But the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word of the gospel which has been told to you.

Come to him then, that living Stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, and precious.

For you, then, that believe, is the preciousness; but for those who do not believe, A stone which the builders rejected, The same has become the head stone of the corner,

But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you may show forth the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light??10 you who once were not a people, but now are the people of God; who were once without mercy, but now you have found mercy.

Live like free men; and yet do not make your freedom a cloak for misconduct, but be the slaves of God.

Household slaves, submit yourselves to your masters in all reverence; not only to the kind and gentle, but also to the unreasonable.

For what credit is it if, when you are struck for a fault, you take it patiently? But if when you are doing well and suffer for it, you always take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

He was reviled, and reviled not back. When he suffered he never threatened but always committed his cause to the One who judges rightly.

For you were straying like lost sheep, but you are now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

but rather that hidden personality of the heart, the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit, which in the sight of God is indeed precious.

not paying back evil for evil or abuse for abuse, but on the contrary giving a blessing. Because for this you have been called??o inherit a blessing.

For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears are open to their cry; But the face of the Lord is set against evil-doers.

But even if you should suffer in behalf of righteousness, you are happy. Do not be afraid of their terror, neither be troubled.

But consecrate Christ in your hearts, as Lord. Be always in readiness to make and answer to any one who asks you a reason for the hope that is within you, yet with gentleness and reverence.

because Christ also once for all suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but make alive in spirit.

Baptism, the counterpart of that, now saves you (not the washing off of the filth of the flesh, but the prayer for a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

so that in future you may not spend your life in the flesh according to men's desires, but in the will of God.

But they must render account to Him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.

The gospel was preached for this cause to those who were dead also, that they might be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit.

But the end of all things is close at hand; so be sober, watch and pray.

But be glad in the degree in which you share in the sufferings of Christ; so that when his glory shall be revealed, you too may be glad with triumphant gladness.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business.

But if any man is suffering as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him ever glorify God in this Name.

Be shepherds to your flock of God; take charge of them willingly, and not through compulsion; not for filthy lucre, but with a willing mind;

not by way of lording it over your heritage, but by becoming examples to the flock.

You younger men must submit to the presbyters; and all of you must put on the garment of humility and serve one another, for God resists the haughty, But gives grace to the humble.

But the God of all grace, who has called us by Christ Jesus to share his eternal glory, will, after you have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

For we were not following cunningly devised fables, when we told you of the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his Majesty.

But first be assured of this??hat no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.

For no prophecy was ever brought by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke for God.

But there were false prophets, too, among the people, just as among you also there will be false teachers. These will secretly bring in destructive sects, denying even the Master who bought them, and bringing swift ruin upon themselves.

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to chains of darkness, and reserved them for judgment;

if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon an ungodly world;

But these men, like irrational creatures, mere animals, born to be taken and destroyed, continually rail about matters of which they know nothing. In their corruption they will surely be destroyed,

But the heavens and earth that now are, by the same word of God, have been reserved for fire, and are being kept for the Day of Judgment, and for the destruction of ungodly men.

The Lord does not loiter over his promise, as some men esteem loitering; but he is longsuffering toward you, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should pass on to repentance.

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; and on that Day the heavens will vanish with a crash, the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat, and the earth and all its works will be burned up.

But according to his promise, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness makes her dwelling.

But grow continually in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and unto the Day of Eternity, Amen.

But is we are passing our life in the light, as he is in the light, we ever have partnership with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ is cleansing us from every sin.

But if we confess our sins, faithful is he and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all wrong-doing.

My children, I am writing this to you that you may not continue to sin; but if any one sin, we ever have a Comforter before the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.

And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

He who says, "I know Him," but does no continue obeying his commandments, is a liar,

But he who loves his brother is abiding in the light, and in it there is no cause of stumbling.

But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and is spending his life in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the proud glory of life, is not from the Father, but from the world;

and the world and its lusts are passing away, but he who ever does the will of God abides forever.

They came forth from us, but they did not belong to us. If they had belonged to us they would certainly have remained with us, but they went out that they might be manifest that they all are not of us.

I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.

Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father; but he who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you.

As to you, the unction you received from him remains ever in you, and you need no teaching from any one. But since his unction teaches you concerning all things and is true, and is no lie, abide continually in him, as it has taught you to do.

We are God's children now, beloved; what we shall be has never yet been made manifest. But we know that when he is manifested we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.

But whoever has this world's goods, and beholds his brother in need, and shuts up his heart against him, how can the love of God continue to abide in him?

My children, let us not love in word nor in talk, but in deed and in truth.

Do not believe every spirit, beloved, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets are gone out into the world.

But you are of God. He who is beginning to know God listens to us; he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we may distinguish the spirit of truth from the spirit of error.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

No man has ever gazed on God; but if we love one another, God ever abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Fear does not exist in love; but love, when it is perfect, drives out fear. For fear has always torment, and he who has fear is not yet perfected in love.

Jesus Christ is he who came by water and blood, not by the water only, but by the water and by the blood. The spirit is he who bears testimony, because the Spirit is the truth.
