serving with good will as to the Lord, and not to men;

besides all these, having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one.

having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:

Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.

What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;

For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.

Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.

Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus, by God's will, and Timotheus the brother,

For this reason we also, from the day we heard of your faith and love, do not cease praying and asking for you, to the end that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

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,

Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-bondman in the Lord, will make known to you all that concerns me;

Epaphras, who is one of you, the bondman of Christ Jesus, salutes you, always combating earnestly for you in prayers, to the end that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication;

For if we believe that Jesus has died and has risen again, so also God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.

in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus towards you;

He is faithful who calls you, who will also perform it.

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;

But we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do.

I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning.

Laying these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which thou hast fully followed up.

I will therefore that the younger marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary in respect of reproach.

But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these.

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

Think of what I say, for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things.

if we endure, we shall also reign together; if we deny, he also will deny us;

But profane, vain babblings shun, for they will advance to greater impiety,

and their word will spread as a gangrene; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

and that they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, who are taken by him, for his will.

And all indeed who desire to live piously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

For the time shall be when they will not bear sound teaching; but according to their own lusts will heap up to themselves teachers, having an itching ear;

and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables.

Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all who love his appearing.

Alexander the smith did many evil things against me. The Lord will render to him according to his works.

One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said, Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons.

I Paul have written it with mine own hand; I will repay it: that I say not to thee that thou owest even thine own self also to me.

Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.

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?

God bearing, besides, witness with them to it, both by signs and wonders, and various acts of power, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to his will?

saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the assembly will I sing thy praises.

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

Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,

in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;

again he determines a certain day, saying, in David, 'To-day,' after so long a time; (according as it has been said before), To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

and this will we do if God permit.

saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;

(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent of it, Thou art priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec;)

For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;

Because this is the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and they shall be to me for people.

Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

Then I said, Lo, I come (in the roll of the book it is written of me) to do, O God, thy will.

then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first that he may establish the second;

by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

This is the covenant which I will establish towards them after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their hearts, I will write them also in their understandings;

and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

For we know him that said, To me belongs vengeance; I will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall judge his people.

For ye have need of endurance in order that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

For yet a very little while he that comes will come, and will not delay.

whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, Yet once will I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.

Let marriage be held every way in honour, and the bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge.

Let your conversation be without love of money, satisfied with your present circumstances; for he has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.

So that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me?

perfect you in every good work to the doing of his will, doing in you what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for the ages of ages. Amen.

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

and the rich in his humiliation, because as the grass's flower he will pass away.

According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of his creatures.

for judgment will be without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.

But some one will say, Thou hast faith and I have works. Shew me thy faith without works, and I from my works will shew thee my faith.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will.

Subject yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.

Go to now, ye who say, To-day or to-morrow will we go into such a city and spend a year there, and traffic and make gain,

ye who do not know what will be on the morrow, (for what is your life? It is even a vapour, appearing for a little while, and then disappearing,)

instead of your saying, If the Lord should so will and we should live, we will also do this or that.

Wherefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, be sober and hope with perfect stedfastness in the grace which will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men;

For he that will love life and see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil and his lips that they speak no guile.

For it is better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer as well-doers than as evildoers;

no longer to live the rest of his time in the flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will.

For the time past is sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.

Wherefore also let them who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.

Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;

Wherefore I will be careful to put you always in mind of these things, although knowing them and established in the present truth.

but I will use diligence, that after my departure ye should have also, at any time, in your power to call to mind these things.

for prophecy was not ever uttered by the will of man, but holy men of God spake under the power of the Holy Spirit.

And through covetousness, with well-turned words, will they make merchandise of you: for whom judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction slumbers not.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.

And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity.

And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us.

(who have witnessed of thy love before the assembly,) in setting forward whom on their journey worthily of God, thou wilt do well;

For this reason, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he does, babbling against us with wicked words; and not content with these, neither does he himself receive the brethren; and those who would he prevents, and casts them out of the assembly.

I had many things to write to thee, but I will not with ink and pen write to thee;

but I hope soon to see thee, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. The friends greet thee. Greet the friends by name.

Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.

Fear nothing of what thou art about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of life.

Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives it.

And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.

and her children will I kill with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am he that searches the reins and the hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works.
