So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

For they all go after what is theirs, not after the things of Christ.

Masters, give your servants what is right and equal, conscious that you have a Master in heaven.

Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.

Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.

Let all things be tested; keep to what is good;

Have you no memory of what I said when I was with you, giving you word of these things?

And now it is clear to you what is keeping back his revelation till the time comes for him to be seen.

And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false:

So that they all may be judged, who had no faith in what is true, but took pleasure in evil.

But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:

And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

But the effect of the order is love coming from a clean heart, and a knowledge of what is right, and true faith:

Desiring to be teachers of the law, though they have no knowledge of what they say or of the statements which they make so certainly.

Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.

And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false,) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.

But if I am long in coming, this will make clear to you what behaviour is right for men in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of what is true.

Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

Give thought to what I say; for the Lord will give you wisdom in all things.

Ever learning, and never coming to the knowledge of what is true.

And as James and Jambres went against Moses, so do these go against what is true: men of evil minds, who, tested by faith, are seen to be false.

And shutting their ears to what is true, will be turned away to belief in foolish stories.

Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion,

I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;

But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled;

Not taking what is not theirs, but giving clear signs of their good faith, in all things doing credit to the teaching of God our Saviour.

On all these points give teaching and help, and make clear what is right with all authority. Let all men give you honour.

Make clear to them that they are to put themselves under rulers and authorities, to do what they are ordered, to be ready for every good work,

And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,

What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

But a certain writer has given his witness, saying, What is man, that you keep him in mind? what is the son of man, that you take him into account?

And though he was a Son, through the pain which he underwent, the knowledge came to him of what it was to be under God's orders;

But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.

Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.

Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?

And every priest takes his place at the altar day by day, doing what is necessary, and making again and again the same offerings which are never able to take away sins.

For if we do evil on purpose after we have had the knowledge of what is true, there is no more offering for sins,

For, having done what was right in God's eyes, you have need of waiting before his word has effect for you.

By faith it is clear to us that the order of events was fixed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made from things which only seem to be.

What more am I to say? For there would not be time to give the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets:

It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?

See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?

So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.

If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.

What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation?

And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?

But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?

When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.

Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.

And as you have made your souls clean, being ruled by what is true, and loving one another without deceit, see that your love is warm and from the heart:

What credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to God.

Who will do you any damage if you keep your minds fixed on what is good?

For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God?

And if it is hard for even the good man to get salvation, what chance has the man without religion or the sinner?

For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.

Seeing then that all these things are coming to such an end, what sort of persons is it right for you to be, in all holy behaviour and righteousness,

I have not sent you this letter because you have no knowledge of what is true, but because you have knowledge, and because that which is false has nothing in common with that which is true.

See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.

My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.

In this we see what love is, because he gave his life for us; and it is right for us to give our lives for the brothers.

I, a ruler in the church, send word to the noble sister who is of God's selection, and to her children, for whom I have true love; and not only I, but all who have knowledge of what is true;

My loved one, do not be copying what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God.

Demetrius has the approval of all men and of what is true: and we give the same witness, and you are certain that our witness is true.

Saying, What you see, put in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given.

But what you have, keep safe till I come.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

See, I will make those of the Synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not, but say what is false; I will make them come and give worship before your feet, and see my love for you.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

And no one in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to get the book open, or to see what was in it.

And I was very sad, because there was no one able to get the book open or to see what was in it.

And they said to me, You are to give word again of what is coming in the future to the peoples and nations and languages and kings.

What man is there who will not have fear before you, O Lord, and give glory to your name? because you only are holy; for all the nations will come and give worship before you; for your righteousness has been made clear.

And the first went, and let what was in his vessel come down on the earth; and it became an evil poisoning wound on the men who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image.

And the second let what was in his vessel come out into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea came to an end.

And the third let what was in his vessel come out into the rivers and the fountains of water; and they became blood.

And the fourth let what was in his vessel come out on the sun; and power was given to it that men might be burned with fire.

And the fifth let what was in his vessel come out on the high seat of the beast; and his kingdom was made dark; and they were biting their tongues for pain.

And the sixth let what was in his vessel come out on the great river Euphrates; and it became dry, so that the way might be made ready for the kings from the east.

And the seventh let what was in his vessel come out on the air; and there came out a great voice from the house of God, from the high seat, saying, It is done.

And crying out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What town is like the great town?

Outside are the dogs, and those who make use of evil powers, those who make themselves unclean, and the takers of life, and those who give worship to images, and everyone whose delight is in what is false.
