This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

And this will we do, if God permit.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
