As many, therefore, as are perfect -- let us think this, and if in anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,

Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations -- which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,

and this I say, that no one may beguile you in enticing words,

the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord;

whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,

Because of this also, we -- we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe;

that no one be moved in these tribulations, for yourselves have known that for this we are set,

because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,

for this is the will of God -- your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom,

for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living -- who do remain over to the presence of the Lord -- may not precede those asleep,

in every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,

having known this, that for a righteous man law is not set, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, parricides and matricides, men-slayers,

but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them the good warfare,

for this is right and acceptable before God our Saviour,

for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men -- especially of those believing.

take heed to thyself, and to the teaching; remain in them, for this thing doing, both thyself thou shalt save, and those hearing thee.

and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.

thou hast known this, that they did turn from me -- all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;

because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that is in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during.

sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, 'The Lord hath known those who are His,' and 'Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders, as I did appoint to thee;

this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly thou mayest have him,

and if he did hurt to thee, or doth owe anything, this to me be reckoning;

thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee -- God, thy God -- with oil of gladness above thy partners;'

Because of this it behoveth us more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside,

for of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it,

and in this place again, 'If they shall enter into My rest -- ;'

and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins;

and this we will do, if God may permit,

For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,

And see how great this one is, to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils,

who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence it is necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;

because this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

the Holy Spirit this evidencing that not yet hath been manifested the way of the holy places, the first tabernacle having yet a standing;

And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands -- that is, not of this creation --

And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator, that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise of the age-during inheritance,

saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant that God enjoined unto you,'

and as it is laid up to men once to die, and after this -- judgment,

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'

for in this were the elders testified of;

looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;

and this -- 'Yet once' -- doth make evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;

of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this unawares certain did entertain messengers;

Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these do watch for your souls, as about to give account, that with joy they may do this, and not sighing, for this is unprofitable to you.

and more abundantly do I call upon you to do this, that more quickly I may be restored to you.

because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,

and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing.

If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain is the religion;

religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation -- unspotted to keep himself from the world.

Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;

this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,

instead of your saying, 'If the Lord may will, we shall live, and do this or that;'

and the saying of the Lord doth remain -- to the age; and this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you.

to you, then, who are believing is the preciousness; and to the unbelieving, a stone that the builders disapproved of, this one did become for the head of a corner,

for this is gracious, if because of conscience toward God any one doth endure sorrows, suffering unrighteously;

for what renown is it, if sinning and being buffeted, ye do endure it? but if, doing good and suffering for it, ye do endure, this is gracious with God,

for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;

for for this also to dead men was good news proclaimed, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.

and if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; and let him glorify God in this respect;

Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon, through few words I did write, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood.

And this same also -- all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,

and I think right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up in reminding you,

for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: 'This is My Son -- the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;'

and this voice we -- we did hear, out of heaven borne, being with him in the holy mount.

this first knowing, that no prophecy of the Writing doth come of private exposition,

liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this one also he hath been brought to servitude,

This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding you,

this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on,

for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God,

And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;

And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not at all;

and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.

Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;

and this is the promise that He did promise us -- the life the age-during.

See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;

and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.

he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;

In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,

because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another,

in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,

and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,

and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.

in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,

and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.

They -- of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them;

we -- of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.

In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;
