Let such a one consider this, that, such as we are in word by our letters while absent, such we really are in work being present.

I robbed other churches, having received support for your ministry, and being present with you and being destitute, I burdened no one;

For cheerfully do you, being wise, bear with the foolish:

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one being blessed forever, knows that I lie not.

But let it he so, I did not burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

I have told you beforehand, and I am speaking to you in advance, as being present the second time, even now absent, that, if I may come to you again, I will not spare those who have previously sinned, and all the rest;

Therefore being absent I write these things, in order that being present, I may not use severity, according to the power which the Lord has given me for edification, and not for destruction.

and I was prominent in Judaism above many comrades in my race, being exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

But neither was Titus the one with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised:

But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, If you being a Jew are living like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how do you compel the Gentiles to judaize?

We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: because it has been written; Cursed is every one having been hung on the wood:

Then what is the law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the seed to whom the promise was made should come; being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Then was the law against the promises of God? it could not be so. For if the law was given being able to create life, truly justification would have been by law:

But before faith came, we were kept under law, being shut up to the faith about to be revealed.

For if any one seems to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself.

but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,

because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the world.

But now you are in Christ Jesus, who being at one time far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ.

having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone,

in whom the entire edifice, being assimilated, increases into a holy temple in the Lord;

from whom the whole body, being assimilated and knitted together through every joint of the supply, according to the working in each several part, makes increase of the body in the edification of itself in divine love.

being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance being in themselves, on account of the blindness of their heart;

who being past feeling have given themselves up to debauchery, unto the working of all impurity with greediness.

but all things being convicted by the light are made manifest; for everything made manifest is light.

being submissive to one another in the fear of Christ.

because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is also the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

Stand therefore, being girded about as to your loins with truth, and being invested with the breastplate of righteousness,

and being shod as to your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

being filled with the fruit of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

and many of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are bold to speak the word of God more fluently without fear.

Only live worthily of the gospel of Christ: in order that, whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I hear those things concerning you, that you are standing in one spirit, with one soul contending for the faith of the gospel;

and not being intimidated in anything by the adversaries: which is to them the manifestation of destruction, but of your salvation, and this is from God;

fill my joy, that you may think the same thing, having the same divine love, being like-minded, thinking this one thing;

who, being in the form of God, thought it not usurpation to be equal with God,

but he humbled himself, having taken the form of a servant, being in the likeness of men; and having been found in fashion like a man;

he humbled himself, being obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.

in reference to zeal, persecuting the church, according to righteousness which was in the law being blameless.

to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

being impowered with all power, according to the might of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy;

who is the image of the invisible God, being the first begotten of all creation,

And you, being at one time aliens and enemies in your minds on account of wicked works, nevertheless he has now reconciled

in order that their hearts may be comforted, being knitted together in divine love, and in all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, unto the perfect knowledge of the mystery of God, of Christ,

and you, being dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your depravity, has he created life in you along with himself, having forgiven us all transgressions,

Let no one purposely rob you of your prize by humiliation and worship of the angels, trusting in those things which he has seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his depravity,

and not holding the Head, from which the entire body, by joints and ligaments being supplied and knitted together, increases the increase of God.

and Jesus, called Justus, who being of the circumcision: these are my only fellow-laborers in the kingdom of God, who have been made a comfort to me.

nor seeking glory from men, nor from you, nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as the apostles of Christ;

being so desirous of you, that we are anxious not only to give the gospel of God, but our own souls, because you are beloved unto us.

Do you not remember that still being with you, I told you these things?

being antecedently a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insulter: but I obtained mercy, because I did it in unbelief being ignorant;

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression;

not a novice, lest being puffed up he may fall into the condemnation of the devil.

And let them also first be proven; then let them minister the office of deacon, being irreproachable.

Because every creature of God is good, and nothing rejected, being received with thanksgiving:

Submitting these things to the brethren, you will be a beautiful minister of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of faith, and the beautiful teaching which you have followed;

being witness in beautiful works; if she has brought up children, if she has entertained strangers, if she has washed the feet of saints, if she has succored those in tribulation, if she has followed in every good work.

and, being in Rome, he diligently sought me, and found me.

For of these are those creeping into houses, and leading captive little, silly women laden with sins, being led by divers lusts,

But wicked men and seducers will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

They profess to know God, but deny him by their works, being abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate unto every good work.

For when we also were without understanding, being disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in sin and envy, hateful, hating one another;

in order that, being justified by his faith, we may be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

knowing that such an one is turned away, and is sinning, being self-condemned.

on account of the divine love, I the more exhort you, being such as Paul the aged, and now also the prisoner of Jesus Christ.

who being the brightness of his glory, and the character of his person, and holding up all things by the word of his power, having made purgation of the sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

being so much greater than the angels, that he has inherited a name so much more excellent than they.

For in that he himself suffered being tempted, he is able to succor those who are tempted.

being faithful to him who appointed him, as indeed Moses in all his house.

For we truly have had the gospel preached unto us, as they did also: but the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to those hearing.

For every high priest, being received from men, presides over men in the things appertaining to God, in order that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:

being able to sympathize with the ignorant and erring, since himself is also compassed about with infirmity;

indeed being a Son, he learned obedience from those things which he suffered;

to whom Abraham divided the tenth from all first, being interpreted, King of righteousness, and then King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but being made like unto the Son of God, he abides a priest continually.

For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is a change of the law.

For such a high priest was indeed appropriate unto us, holy, free from sin, undefiled, having been separated from the sinners, and being higher than the heavens;

If then indeed he was on the earth, he would not be a priest, there being those offering gifts according to law,

which is a figure unto the present time, in which gifts and sacrifices are offered, not being able to make the worshiper perfect, as to his conscience;

But Christ being a high priest of good things to come, through a greater and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this world;

And on this account he is mediator of the new covenant, since there being death, unto the redemption of the transgressions unto the first covenant, those having been called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

since in that case would they not have ceased being offered, because the worshipers having once been purified would have had no more conscience of sins?

But remember the former days, in which, you being illuminated by the Spirit, endured a great fight of afflictions;

both indeed in reproaches and tribulations being exposed as a theater, and having become the companions of those being thus exercised.

By faith Noah, being warned concerning things not yet seen, being moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became heir to the righteousness which is according to faith.

By faith Abraham, being called to go out into a place which he was about to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and went out, not knowing whither he goes.

By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac: and the one having received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

they were stoned, they were tempted, they were burnt, they died by the edge of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, troubled, persecuted,

Remember those bound, as having been bound along with them; those suffering persecutions, as you yourselves being also in the body.

Let your deportment be free from covetousness; being content with present things: for he said, I will not, I will not, leave you, neither do I ever forsake you;

so being confident we say, The Lord is my helper, I will not fear; what shall man do unto me?

Happy is the man who endures temptation: because, being proved, he will receive a crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him with divine love.

Let no one being tempted say, I am tempted from God. For God can not be tempted with evils, and he tempts no one:

but each one is tempted by his own lusts, being drawn out, and enticed.

But the one having looked into the perfect law which is the law of liberty, and having remained in it, not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be happy in his work.

But if you have respect of persons, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

behold also the ships, being so great, and driven by fierce winds, are managed by the smallest rudder, whithersoever the will of the steersman prefers;

In whom you rejoice, if however it is needful, being grieved a little while among manifold temptations: in order

that the trial of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, however being tried by the fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ:

Therefore having girded up the loins of your minds, being perfectly sober, hope unto the grace which is conferred on you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
