If you are under the sway of the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

gentleness, self-control: ??there is no law against those who practise such things.

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Why, even the circumcision party do not observe the Law themselves! They merely want you to get circumcised, so as to boast over your flesh!

in his own flesh he put an end to the feud of the Law with its code of commands, so as to make peace by the creation of a new Man in himself out of both parties,

you must lay aside the old nature which belonged to your former course of life, that nature which crumbles to ruin under the passions of moral deceit,

Lay aside falsehood, then, let each tell his neighbour the truth, for we are members one of another.

but the former proclaim Christ for their own ends, with mixed motives, intending to annoy me as I lie in prison.

I was circumcised on the eighth day after birth; I belonged to the race of Israel, to the tribe of Benjamin; I was the Hebrew son of Hebrew parents, a Pharisee as regards the Law,

who will transform the body that belongs to our low estate till it resembles the body of his Glory, by the same power that enables him to make everything subject to himself.

in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge lie hidden!

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,

doctors of the Law is what they want to be, but they have no idea either of the meaning of the words they use or of the themes on which they harp.

I am quite aware that 'the Law is admirable' ??provided that one makes a lawful use of it;

he must keep in mind that no law is ever made for honest people but for the lawless and the insubordinate, for the impious and the sinful, for the irreverent and the profane, for parricides and matricides, murderers,

and I was appointed to be its herald and apostle (I am not telling a lie, it is quite true), to teach the Gentiles faith and truth.

Lay this before the brotherhood, and you will be an excellent minister of Christ Jesus, brought up on the truths of the faith and on the lessons of the good doctrine you have already followed.

So lay down the following rules, to prevent any reproach being incurred.

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

and release from thraldom those who lay under a life-long fear of death.

And no created thing is hidden from him; all things lie open and exposed before the eyes of him with whom we have to reckon.

Those sons of Levi who receive the priestly office are indeed ordered by law to tithe the people (that is, their brothers), although the latter are descended from Abraham;

Further, if the Levitical priesthood had been the means of reaching perfection (for it was on the basis of that priesthood that the Law was enacted for the People), why was it still necessary for another sort of priest to emerge with the rank of Melchizedek, instead of simply with the rank of Aaron

(for when the priesthood is changed, a change of law necessarily follows)?

one who has become a priest by the power of an indissoluble Life and not by the law of an external command;

(for the Law made nothing perfect), and there is introduced a better Hope, by means of which we can draw near to God.

For the Law appoints human beings in their weakness to the priesthood; but the word of the Oath appoints a Son who is made perfect for ever.

Were he on earth, he would not be a priest at all, for there are priests already to offer the gifts prescribed by Law

one citizen will no longer teach his fellow, one man will no longer teach his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all will know me, low and high together.

for after Moses had announced every command in the Law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, together with water, scarlet wool and hyssop, sprinkling the book and all the people,

In fact, one might almost say that by Law everything is cleansed with blood. No blood shed, no remission of sins!

For as the Law has a mere shadow of the bliss that is to be, instead of representing the reality of that bliss, it never can perfect those who draw near with the same annual sacrifices that are perpetually offered.

He begins by saying, thou hast no desire for, thou takest no delight in, sacrifices and offerings and holocausts and sin-offerings (and these are what are offered in terms of the Law);

And their sins and breaches of the law I will remember no more.

Anyone who has rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy, on the evidence of two or of three witnesses.

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

Whereas he who gazes into the faultless law of freedom and remains in that position, proving himself to be no forgetful listener but an active agent, he will be blessed in his activity.

If you really fulfil the royal law laid down by scripture, You must love your neighbour as yourself, well and good;

but if you pay servile regard to people, you commit a sin, and the Law convicts you of transgression.

For whoever obeys the whole of the Law and only makes a single slip, is guilty of everything.

He who said, Do not commit adultery, also said, Do not kill. Now if you do not commit adultery but if you kill, you have transgressed the Law.

Speak, act, as those who are to be judged by the law of freedom;

follow 2:13] Do not defame one another, brothers; he who defames or judges his brother defames and judges the Law; and if you judge the Law, you pass sentence on it instead of obeying it.

your gold and silver lie rusted over, and their rust will be evidence against you, it will devour your flesh like fire. [Moved to the end of 5:1] You have been storing up treasure in the very last days;

For thus it stands in the scripture: Here I lay a Stone in Sion, a choice, a precious cornerstone: he who believes in him will never be disappointed.

whereas even angels, superior in might and power, lay no scoffing charge against these before the Lord.

I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and know that no lie has any connexion with the truth.

but the unction you received from him remains within you, and you really need no teaching from anyone; simply remain in him, for his unction teaches you about everything and is true and is no lie ??remain in him, as it has taught you to do.

We know what love is by this, that He laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for the brotherhood.

Blessed is he who reads aloud, blessed they who hear the words of this prophecy and lay to heart what is written in it; for the time is near.

Lo, he is coming on the clouds, to be seen by every eye, even by those who impaled him, and all the tribes of earth will wail because of him: even so, Amen.

Lo, I will lay her on a sickbed, and bring her paramours into sore distress, if they do not repent of her practices;

Lo, I have set a door open before you which no one is able to shut; for though your strength is small, you have kept my word, you have not renounced my Name.

Lo, I will make those who belong to that synagogue of Satan, who style themselves Jews (no Jews are they, but liars!) ??lo, I will have them come and do homage before your feet and learn that I did love you.

Lo, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and sup with him, and he with me.

At once I found myself rapt in the Spirit; and lo a Throne stood in heaven with One seated on the throne ??3 the seated One resembled in appearance jasper and sardius ??and round the throne a rainbow resembling emerald in appearance;

but one of the Presbyters told me, "Weep not; lo, the Lion of Judah's tribe, the Scion of David, he has won the power of opening the scroll and its seven seals."

their tails and their stings were like scorpions', and their power of hurting men for five months lay in their tails;

and their corpses will lie in the streets of that great City whose mystical name is Sodom and Egypt ??where their Lord also was crucified.

the nations were enraged, but thine anger has come; the time has come for the dead to be judged, the time for rewarding thy servants the prophets, and the saints who reverence thy name, both low and high, the time for destroying the destroyers of the earth."

and he obliges all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves alike, to have a mark put upon their right hand or their forehead,

And on their lips no lie was ever detected; they are stainless.

(Lo, I am coming like a thief; blessed be he who keeps awake and holds his raiment fast, not to go naked and have the shame of exposure!)

As for the ten horns you have seen, they and the Beast will hate the harlot, lay her waste, and strip her naked; they will devour her flesh and burn her with fire,

And a voice came from the throne, "Extol our God, all ye his servants, ye who reverence him, low and high!"

to devour the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of the strong, the flesh of horses and their riders, the flesh of all men, free and slaves, low and high alike."

and their seducer, the devil, was flung into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the Beast and the false Prophet also lie, to be tortured day and night for ever and ever.

And I saw the dead, high and low, standing before the throne, and books were opened ??also another book, the book of Life, was opened ??and the dead were judged by what was written in these books, by what they had done.

And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, crying, "Lo, God's dwelling-place is with men, with men will he dwell; they shall be his people, and God will himself be with them:

Then he who was seated on the throne said, "Lo, I make all things new." And he said, "Write this: 'these words are trustworthy and genuine.'"

Lo, I am coming very soon; blessed is he who lays to heart the words of the prophecy of this book!"

But he said to me, "No, not that! I am but a servant like yourself and your brothers the prophets, who lay to heart the words of this book. Worship God."

& 13] Lo, I am coming very soon, with my reward, to requite everyone for what he has done."
