For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who was proclaimed among you by us (by me and Silvanus and Timothy) became not, yes and no, but in him has become, yes.

being seen that ye are a letter of Christ, administered by us, written not in ink, but in the Spirit of the living God, not in stony tablets, but in fleshly tablets, in hearts.

while we look not at things seen, but at things not seen. For things seen are temporal, but things not seen are eternal.

Having seen therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. But we have been manifested to God, and I hope also to have been manifested in your consciences.

For the man who knew no sin was made sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

Or did I commit a sin lowering myself so that ye might be lifted up, because I preached to you the good-news of God freely?

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him who called you in the grace of Christ to another good-news,

to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not straightaway confer with flesh and blood,

But if, while seeking to be made righteous in Christ, we ourselves were also found sinful, then is Christ an aide of sin? May it not happen!

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And what I now live in flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

But scripture confined all things under sin, so that the promise from faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born from a woman, born under law,

And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

So that thou are no longer a bondman but a son, and if a son, then an heir through Christ.

Which things are allegorized, for these are two covenants, indeed one from mount Sinai giving birth for bondage, which is Hagar.

For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and it corresponds to the present Jerusalem, and is in bondage with her children.

Nevertheless, what does the scripture say? Send away the servant girl and her son, for the son of the servant girl will, no, not inherit with the son of the freewoman.

Until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a standard of stature of the fullness of the Christ.

Be ye angry, and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your wrath,

But all things exposed are revealed by the light, for everything that is seen is light.

Only be citizens worthy of the good-news of the Christ, so that, whether having come and having seen you or being absent, I may hear things about you that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith o

And not being frightened in anything by those who oppose, which is indeed a sign of destruction to them, but to you of salvation, and this from God.

But I hope in Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I also may be cheerful when I know the things about you.

And I trust in Lord that I myself also will come soon.

Therefore I sent him more urgently, so that having seen him again, ye may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful.

And ye Philippians also have seen that, in the beginning of the good-news when I departed from Macedonia, not one congregation shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except ye only,

Who rescued us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,

For I want you to know how great a struggle I have about you, and those at Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh.

Let no man umpire against you insisting on self-mortification, and worship of the heavenly agents, intruding in things that he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

and to await his Son from the heavens whom he raised from the dead--Jesus--who rescues us from the coming wrath.

Let not any man deceive you in any way, because if not, the defection may come first, and he may be revealed--the man of sin, the son of destruction,

And without controversy great is the mystery of piety. God was manifested in flesh, justified in spirit, seen by heavenly agents, proclaimed among nations, believed in the world, taken up in glory.

Those who sin, rebuke in the sight of all, so that the others may also have fear.

who alone has immortality, dwelling in irreproachable light, whom no man has seen, nor can see, to whom is honor and eternal dominion. Truly.

God, who formerly spoke in many portions and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets, spoke to us in these last days by a Son,

For to which of the heavenly agents did he ever say, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for a Father, and he will be to me for a Son?

But toward the Son, Thy throne, O God, is into the age of the age. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of straightness.

But a certain man has somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou remember him? Or a son of man, that thou help him?

but Christ as a Son over his house, whose house we are, if only we keep in possession our confidence and pride of hope, firm until the end.

But exhort each other during each day, while it is called Today, lest any of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us take hold of the affirmation.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.

So also Christ did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but it was he who said to him, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee.

although being a Son, he learned obedience from the things that he suffered.

and who fell away, to restore again to repentance, crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and disgracing him publicly.

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

For the law appoints men high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath after the law, a Son who has been fully perfected into the age.

since it would be necessary for him to suffer often, from the foundation of the world. But now once, at the end of the ages, he was made known for an annulment of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.

In whole burnt offerings, and for sin thou were not pleased.

saying above, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou did not desire, nor were thou pleased with things that are offered according to the law.

Now where there is remission of these, there is no more offering for sin.

For when we sin willfully after taking the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

By how much worse punishment do ye think he will deserve who has trampled the Son of God, and who considered profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who treated the Spirit of grace contemptuously?

Now faith is the foundation of hoping, the evidence of events not being seen.

By faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by the word of God. For the things that are seen do not come to be from that which is visible.

By faith Noah, being divinely warned about things not yet seen, moved with awe, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became an heir of righteousness according to faith.

By faith Abraham, being tested, offered Isaac. And he who received the promises offered his only begotten son,

By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

having chosen rather to be mistreated with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin temporarily.

Therefore we also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, having put off every weight and cleverly entangling sin, let us run by perseverance the contest being set before us.

Ye have not yet resisted as far as blood, struggling against sin.

And have ye forgotten the exhortation that reasons with you as with sons, My son, do not disparage the chastening of Lord, nor become disheartened when punished by him?

For whom Lord loves he chastens. And he whips every son whom he receives.

Because of chastening ye endure; God is treating you as with sons, for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

But ye have come to mount Zion, and to the city of a living God, a heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of heavenly agents,

For of the beasts whose blood is brought into the holy things for sin by the high priest, the bodies of these are burned outside the camp.

For the sun rose up with the burning heat, and withered the grass. And the flower of it fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished. So also the rich man will fade away among his pursuits.

Then the lust having conceived, it gives birth to sin, and after being complete the sin brings forth death.

But if ye respect personages, ye work sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

Was not Abraham our father made righteous from works, having offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to those who make peace.

He therefore who knows to do good, and is not doing it, to him it is sin.

Behold, we regard those who endured, blessed. Ye have heard of the fortitude of Job, and have seen the outcome of Lord, that he is very compassionate and merciful.

Whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, not now seeing but believing, ye exult in inexpressible and glorified joy,

It is therefore contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, chosen, precious. And he who believes in him will, no, not be shamed.

Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.

Therefore of Christ having suffered in flesh for us, arm ye yourselves also with the same mentality, because he who has suffered in flesh has ceased from sin,

She in Babylon, chosen together, salutes you, and my son Mark.

For having received from God the Father honor and glory from a voice of such kind brought to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I am well pleased.

having eyes full of adultery, and unceasing sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, children of a curse,

having forsaked a straight path, they were led astray, men who followed the way of Balaam, son of Beor, who loved the wage of unrighteousness.

What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

(and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us),

what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that ye also may have fellowship with us. Even also our fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from every sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us.

My little children, I write these things to you so that ye may not sin. And if any man does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--righteous Jesus Christ.

Who is the liar if not he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

Every man who denies the Son, also does not have the Father.

Therefore ye, let what ye heard from the beginning abide in you. If what ye heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

Every man doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

And ye know that that man was made known so that he might take up our sins. And in him is no sin.

Every man abiding in him does not sin. Every man who is sinning has not seen him, nor has known him.

He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Every man who has been begotten of God is not doing sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.

And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other, just as he gave command.

By this the love of God was made known in us, because God sent his Son, the only begotten, into the world so that we might live through him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, an atonement for our sins.

No man has ever seen God. If we love each other, God abides in us, and his love is in us, having been fully perfected.
