Let the thief steal no more; rather let him work and put his hands to an honest task, so as to have something to contribute to the needy.

Let no bad word pass your lips, but only such speech as is good for edification, as occasion may require, words that are gracious and a means of grace to those who hear them.

Never let any sexual vice or impurity or lust be so much as mentioned by you ??that is the proper course for saints to take;

Let no one deceive you with specious arguments; these are the vices that bring down God's anger on the sons of disobedience.

However, let every man of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife reverence her husband.

that is why I am sending him to you, to let you know how I am and to encourage your hearts.

Only, do lead a life that is worthy of the gospel of Christ. Whether I come and see you or only hear of you in absence, let me know you are standing firm in a common spirit, fighting side by side like one man for the faith of the gospel.

Only, we must let our steps be guided by such truth as we have attained.

Let your forbearance be known to everyone; the Lord is at hand.

So let no one take you to task on questions of eating and drinking or in connexion with the observance of festivals or new moons or sabbaths.

Let no one lay down rules for you as he pleases, with regard to fasting and the cult of angels, presuming on his visions and inflated by his sensuous notions,

Also, let the peace of Christ be supreme within your hearts ??that is why you have been called as members of the one Body. And you must be thankful.

Let the inspiration of Christ dwell in your midst with all its wealth of wisdom; teach and train one another with the music of psalms, with hymns, and songs of the spiritual life; praise God with thankful hearts.

Indeed, whatever you say or do, let everything be done in dependence on the Lord Jesus, giving thanks in his name to God the Father.

Let Christian wisdom rule your behaviour to the outside world; make the very most of your time;

let your talk always have a saving salt of grace about it, and learn how to answer any question put to you.

Encourage one another, therefore, and let each edify the other ??as indeed you are doing.

not to let your minds get easily unsettled or excited by any spirit of prophecy or any declaration or any letter purporting to come from me, to the effect that the Day of the Lord is already here.

Let nobody delude you into this belief, whatever he may say. It will not come till the Rebellion takes place first of all, with the revealing of the Lawless One, the doomed One,

Now I want the men to offer prayer at any meeting of the church; and let the hands they lift to heaven be holy ??they must be free from anger and dissension.

in case I am detained, to let you see how people ought to behave within the household of God; it is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the Truth.

Let no one slight you because you are a youth, but set the believers an example of speech, behaviour, love, faith, and purity.

Attend to these duties, let them absorb you, so that all men may note your progress.

Never let any charge be brought against a presbyter, unless it is certified by two or three witnesses.

Let all servants who are under the yoke of slavery remember that their masters are entitled to perfect respect ??otherwise it will be a scandal to the Name of God and to our doctrine.

All I endure is for the sake of the elect, to let them obtain their share of the salvation of Christ Jesus and also of eternal glory.

Do your utmost to let God see that you at least are a sound workman, with no need to be ashamed of the way you handle the word of the Truth.

But the solid foundation laid by God remains, and this is its inscription: the Lord knows who are his, and 'let everyone who names the name of the Lord give up evil.'

he must be gentle in his admonitions to the opposition ??God may perhaps let them change their mind and admit the Truth;

But the Lord supported me and gave me strength to make a full statement of the gospel and let all the heathen hear it. I was rescued from the jaws of the lion.

let your words be sound and such that no exception can be taken to them, so that the opposite side may be confounded by finding nothing that they can say to our discredit.

Tell them all this, exhort and reprove, with full authority; let no one slight you.

But avoid foolish controversy, and let genealogies and dissensions and strife over the Law alone, for these are fruitless and futile.

Come, brother, let me have some return from you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ.

And further, when introducing the Firstborn into the world, he says, 'Let all God's angels worship him.'

Well then, as the promise of entrance into his Rest is still left to us, let us be afraid of anyone being judged to have missed it.

Let us be eager then to enter that Rest, in case anyone falls into the same sort of disobedience.

As we have a great high priest, then, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession;

So let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in the hour of need.

Let us pass on then to what is mature, leaving elementary Christian doctrine behind, instead of laying the foundation over again with repentance from dead works, with faith in God,

on the day I took them by the hand to lead out of Egypt's land; for they would not hold to my covenant, so I let them alone, saith the Lord.

let us draw near with a true heart, in absolute assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled clean from a bad conscience, and our bodies washed in pure water;

let us hold the hope we avow without wavering (for we can rely on him who gave us the Promise);

and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good deeds ??25 not ceasing to meet together, as is the habit of some, but admonishing one another, all the more so, as you see the Day coming near.

And make straight paths for your feet to walk in. You must not let the lame get dislocated, but rather make them whole.

Therefore let us render thanks that we get an unshaken realm; and in this way let us worship God acceptably ??29 but with godly fear and awe, for our God is indeed a consuming fire.

Let your brotherly love continue.

Let marriage be held in honour by all, and keep the marriage-bed unstained. God will punish the vicious and adulterous.

Never let yourselves be carried away with a variety of novel doctrines; for the right thing is to have one's heart strengthened by grace, not by the eating of food ??that has never been any use to those who have had recourse to it.

Let us go to him outside the camp, then, bearing his obloquy

And by him let us constantly offer praise to God as our sacrifice, that is, the fruit of lips that celebrate his Name.

Obey your leaders, submit to them; for they are alive to the interests of your souls, as men who will have to account for their trust. Let their work be a joy to them and not a grief ??which would be a loss to yourselves.

only, let your endurance be a finished product, so that you may be finished and complete, with never a defect.

Whoever of you is defective in wisdom, let him ask God who gives to all men without question or reproach, and the gift will be his.

Only, let him ask in faith, with never a doubt; for the doubtful man is like surge of the sea whirled and swayed by the wind;

Let a brother of low position exult when he is raised;

but let one who is rich exult in being lowered; for the rich will pass away like the flower of the grass ??11 up comes the sun with the scorching wind and withers the grass, its flower drops off, and the splendour of it is ruined: so shall the rich fade away amid their pursuits.

Let no one who is tried by temptation say, 'My temptation comes from God'; God is incapable of being tempted by evil and he tempts no one.

Be sure of that, my beloved brothers. Let everyone be quick to listen, slow to talk, slow to be angry ??20 for human anger does not promote divine righteousness;

Who among you is wise and learned? Let him show by his good conduct, with the modesty of wisdom, what his deeds are.

Lament and mourn and weep, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to depression;

Above all, my brothers, never swear an oath, either by heaven or by earth or by anything else; let your "yes" be a plain "yes," your "no" a plain "no," lest you incur judgment.

Is anyone of you in trouble? let him pray. Is anyone thriving? let him sing praise.

Is anyone ill? let him summon the presbyters of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

he who would love Life and enjoy good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile:

let him shun wrong and do right, let him seek peace and make peace his aim.

Even supposing you have to suffer for the sake of what is right, still you are blessed. Have no fear of their threats, do not let that trouble you,

Well, as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, let this very conviction that he who has suffered in the flesh gets quit of sin,

So let those who are suffering by the will of God trust their souls to him, their faithful Creator, as they continue to do right.

let all your anxieties fall upon him, for his interest is in you.

if he did not spare the ancient world but kept Noah, the herald of righteousness, safe with seven others, when he let loose the deluge on the world of impious men:

Let that remain in you which you learned from the very beginning; if what you learned from the very beginning remains with you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father.

Let no one deceive you, my dear children: he who practises righteousness is just, as He is just;

My dear children, let us put our love not into words or into talk but into deeds, and make it real.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love belongs to God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God;

And now I entreat you, Lady ??not as though I were writing you any new command, it is the command which we have had from the very beginning ??let us love one another.

Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches: 'The conqueror I will allow to eat from the tree of Life which is within the paradise of God.'

Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches: 'The conqueror shall not be injured by the second death.'

Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches: 'The conqueror I will allow to share the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, unknown to any except him who receives it.'

Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.

Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.

Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.

Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches."

telling the sixth angel with the trumpet, "Let loose the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."

For three days and a half men from all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations look at their corpses, refusing to let their corpses be buried;

Let anyone who has an ear listen: ??10 Whoever is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes: whoever kills with the sword, by the sword must he be killed. This is what shows the patience and the faith of the saints.

Now for the gift of interpretation! Let the discerning calculate the cipher of the Beast; it is the cipher of a man, and the figures are six hundred and sixty-six.

They were followed by another, a third angel, crying aloud, "Whoever worships the Beast and his statue, and lets his forehead or hand be marked,

Let us rejoice and triumph, let us give him the glory! For now comes the marriage of the Lamb; his bride has arrayed herself,

Then he said, "All is over! I am the alpha and the omega, the First and the Last. I will let the thirsty drink of the fountain of the water of Life without price.

Let the wicked still be wicked, let the filthy still be filthy, let the righteous still do right, let the holy still be holy!

"Come," say the Spirit and the Bride: let the hearer too say, "Come"; and let the thirsty come, let anyone who desires it, take the water of Life without price.
