according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.

and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because it is not of faith; but whatever is not of faith is sin.

God is faithful, by whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

but according as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, and ear not heard, and which have not come into man's heart, which God has prepared for them that love him,

Flee fornication. Every sin which a man may practise is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

But if any one think that he behaves unseemly to his virginity, if he be beyond the flower of his age, and so it must be, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry.

Now, thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?

If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

So that tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to unbelievers; but prophecy, not to unbelievers, but to those who believe.

But when all things shall have been brought into subjection to him, then the Son also himself shall be placed in subjection to him who put all things in subjection to him, that God may be all in all.)

Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.

one the sun's glory, and another the moon's glory, and another the stars' glory; for star differs from star in glory.

Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.

It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual one.

Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin the law;

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.

while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen are for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.

Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.

Have I committed sin, abasing myself in order that ye might be exalted, because I gratuitously announced to you the glad tidings of God?

was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,

Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then is Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.

I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but in that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law,

But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

So thou art no longer bondman, but son; but if son, heir also through God.

Which things have an allegorical sense; for these are two covenants: one from mount Sinai, gendering to bondage, which is Hagar.

For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which is now, for she is in bondage with her children;

But what says the scripture? Cast out the maid servant and her son; for the son of the maid servant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.

until we all arrive at the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, at the full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fulness of the Christ;

Be angry, and do not sin; let not the sun set upon your wrath,

having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.

Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes with me:

but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall soon come;

What ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you.

who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

For I would have you know what combat I have for you, and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh;

Let no one fraudulently deprive you of your prize, doing his own will in humility and worship of angels, entering into things which 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 among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.

that ye be not soon shaken in mind, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as if it were by us, as that the day of the Lord is present.

Let not any one deceive you in any manner, because it will not be unless the apostasy have first come, and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;

Those that sin convict before all, that the rest also may have fear.

who only has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor is able to see; to whom be honour and eternal might. Amen.

at the end of these days has spoken to us in the person of the Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

For to which of the angels said he ever, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him for father, and he shall be to me for son?

but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, is to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?

but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.

But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you 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 hold fast the confession.

For we have not a high priest not able to sympathise with our infirmities, but tempted in all things in like manner, sin apart.

Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, Thou art my Son, I have to-day begotten thee.

though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;

and have fallen away, crucifying for themselves as they do the Son of God, and making a show of him.

without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.

For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which is after the law, a Son perfected for ever.

since he had then been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for the putting away of sin by his sacrifice.

thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.

Thou tookest no pleasure in burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin.

Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law);

But where there is remission of these, there is no longer a sacrifice for sin.

For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins,

of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Now faith is the substantiating of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

By faith we apprehend that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that that which is seen should not take its origin from things which appear.

By faith, Noah, oracularly warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten son,

By faith Moses, when he had become great, refused to be called son of Pharaoh's daughter;

choosing rather to suffer affliction along with the people of God than to have the temporary pleasure of sin;

They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, died by the death of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, afflicted, evil treated,

Let us also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, run with endurance the race that lies before us,

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, wrestling against sin.

And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when reproved by him;

for whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.

Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?

but ye have come to mount Zion; and to the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels,

for of those beasts whose blood is carried as sacrifices for sin into the holy of holies by the high priest, of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.

Know that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty; with whom, if he should come soon, I will see you.

For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings.

then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.

But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

But the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.

To him therefore who knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.

Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful.

whom, having not seen, ye love; on whom though not now looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with the glory,

Because it is contained in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be put to shame.

who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;

Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in the flesh has done with sin,

She that is elected with you in Babylon salutes you, and Marcus my son.

For he received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being uttered to him by the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight;

having eyes full of adultery, and that cease not from sin, alluring unestablished souls; having a heart practised in covetousness, children of curse;

having left the straight way they have gone astray, having followed in the path of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the reward of unrighteousness;

That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes; that which we contemplated, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life;

(and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and has been manifested to us:)

that which we have seen and heard we report to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
