Christ therefore having suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

feed the flock of God which is among you, not by constraint but willingly, not for base gain but of a ready mind,

THIS second epistle, beloved, I now write to you, in which I excite your pure minds by remembrance,

The Lord is not slow in respect to his promise, as some men account slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to a change of mind.

Beloved, if our minds do not condemn us, we have boldness before God,

Change your minds therefore; otherwise I will come to you quickly, and fight with them with the sword of my mouth.

Behold, I will cast her on a [sick] bed, and those committing adultery with her into great affliction, unless they change their minds from her works.

And her children will I kill with pestilence, and all the churches shall know that I am he that searches the minds and hearts, and I will give you each one according to your works.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and watch, and change your minds. If therefore you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous therefore and change your minds.

And the rest of men, who were not killed with these plagues, did not change their minds [to turn] from the works of their hands, not to worship demons and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which cannot see nor hear nor walk,

and did not change their minds [to turn] from their murders, nor from their magic arts, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.

Here is wisdom. Let him that has a mind count the number of the beast; for the number is man's. And his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God who had power over these plagues, and changed not their minds to give him glory.

and blasphemed the God of heaven on account of their painful labors and their ulcers, and they changed not their minds to turn from their works.

Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits,

as much as she glorified herself, and lived luxuriously, so much distress and sorrow give her. For she says in her mind, I sit a queen and am not a widow and I see not sorrow.
