For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Which in his times he will show who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called;

Which some professing, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

For which cause I put thee in remembrance, that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the imposition of my hands.

Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the world began;

To which I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

For which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him against that day.

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

That good thing which was committed to thee keep by the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.

In which I suffer trouble, as an evil-doer, even to bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Persecutions, afflictions which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them;

And that from a child thou hast known the sacred scriptures, which are able to make thee wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing.

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is according to godliness;

In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began;

But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;

Which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all saints;

That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Wherefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient.

For to which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him;

For to the angels he hath not put in subjection the world to come, concerning which we speak.

For both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I, and the children which God hath given me.

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterwards to be spoken.

For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Though he was a Son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered;

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need of one to teach you again which are the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong food.

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs fit for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh to cursing; whose end is to be burned.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shown towards his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the vail;

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

For it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

For the law made nothing perfect, but the introduction of a better hope did; by which we draw nigh to God.

For the law maketh men high priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and groweth old is ready to vanish away.

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, in which was the candlestick, and the table, and the show-bread; which is called the sanctuary.

And after the second vail, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid around with gold, in which was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

And over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined to you.

For Christ hath not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers to them perfect.

Above, when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt-offerings and offering for sin thou wouldst not, neither hadst pleasure in them; which are offered by the law;

By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the vail, that is to say, his flesh;

But a certain fearful apprehension of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Of how much more severe punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of grace?

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which appeared.

By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

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

By faith Abraham, when he was called to remove into a place which he should afterwards receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out not knowing whither he was going.

For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea-shore innumerable.

By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians essaying to do were drowned.

Wherefore, seeing we also are encompassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh to you as to children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked by him:

But if ye are without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.

Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard, entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear.

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines: for it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied in them.

We have an altar, of which they have no right to eat who serve the tabernacle.

Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

Do they not blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

And one of you sayeth to them, Depart in peace, be you warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
