Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?

You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ;

but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;

holding up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn't run in vain nor labor in vain.

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News,

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly;

Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.

forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

giving vengeance to those who don't know God, and to those who don't obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

If any man doesn't obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

who doesn't need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;

By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.

Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,

looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it;

Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

But the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

The angel who I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky,

I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, "Take it, and eat it up. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey."

I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
