But to this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.

Though when it turneth unto the Lord, the veil is taken off:

If then there be any inquiry about Titus, he is my collegue and fellow-laborer among you: and if our brethren be inquired after, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.

so am I: are they ministers of Christ? (if I may speak as a fool) I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes far exceeding, in prisons more frequently, and often even in deaths.

For though I should incline to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I should speak truth. But I forbear least any one should think of me above what he seeth me to be, or heareth from me.

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the houshold of God;

He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.

However, I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother, and fellow-laborer, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, who ministred to my wants:

from whence also we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ: who will change our vile body,

And I entreat thee likewise, my faithful collegue, to assist them, for they laboured with me in the gospel, and Clement also, and my other fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

I know both how to be abased, and how to abound: in every place, and in all conditions I am instructed, both to be full and to be hungry, to abound and to be in want.

As ye also learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you;

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up what is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for the sake of his body, which is the church.

that their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all the riches of a full assurance of understanding in these things, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of our God and Father, and of Christ:

All things concerning me will Tychicus make known to you, who is a beloved brother, and faithful minister, and fellow-servant in the Lord:

Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus nephew to Barnabas, concerning whom ye have received orders; (if he come to you, receive him;) and Jesus who is called Justus:

these are the only persons, who, of the circumcision, have been my fellow-laborers in the kingdom of God, and who were a comfort to me.

forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, thus going on to fill up their sins perpetually: but wrath is coming upon them to extremity.

not one newly converted, least being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

He ought also to have an honorable testimony from those that are without, least he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

The sins of some men are notorious, leading as it were to their condemnation; and some more artful they follow after.

But they, that will be rich, fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into ruin and perdition.

But do thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, piety, fidelity, love, patience, meekness.

(The Lord grant that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day!) And how much he ministered to me at Ephesus too, thou knowest full well.

But be thou watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, give full proof of thy ministry.

Paul a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy a brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow-laborer, and to the beloved Apphia,

and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thine house,

Epaphras my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, and Marcus,

Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow-laborers, salute thee.

and as a mantle wilt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail."

But with whom was He provoked forty years? was it not with those that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

Let us therefore fear least a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of us should seem to fall short of it:

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, least any one fall after the same example of unbelief.

and the powers of the gospel-age, and yet fall away, should be renewed again to repentance: since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and make an open example of Him.

And we desire that every one of you would shew the same diligence to acquire the full assurance of hope even unto the end:

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to fail, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us;

which we have as an anchor of the soul safe and stedfast, and which entereth within the veil.

let us draw near with sincerity, in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encompassed seven days.

And what need I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and Barak, and Sampson, and Jephthah, and David, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

Follow peace with all men; and holiness, without which none shall see the Lord:

Account it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various trials:

So the tongue is a small part of the body, yet boasteth great things. Behold how much fuel a little fire kindleth!

but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

But the wisdom that is from above first is pure, then peaceable, mild, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

Submit yourselves therefore to God: resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

But above all, my brethren, swear not; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay nay; that ye may not fall under condemnation.

whom having not seen ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing ye rejoice with joy ineffable and full of glory; receiving the end of your faith,

For unto this are ye called; because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye might follow his steps.

Wherefore, my brethren, be the more diligent thus to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things ye shall never fall.

For we did not follow artfully devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.

And many will follow their pernicious tenets, on whose account the way of truth will be reproached:

Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye have wrought, but that ye may receive a full reward.
