but every one hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, another after that.

And let not the husband put away his wife. To the rest speak I, not the Lord. If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And the wife, who hath an unbelieving husband, that consenteth to live with her, let her not put him away.

For the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified by the wife; and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified by the husband. Else were your children unclean; but now they are holy.

But if the unbeliever will depart, let him depart: a brother or a sister is not inslaved in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

But as God hath distributed to every one, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk.

Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one who hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

Yet if thou dost marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh; but I spare you.

Nevertheless, he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power over his own will, and hath determined this in his heart to keep his virgin, doth well.

So also hath the Lord ordained, that they who preach the gospel, should live of the gospel.

There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above your ability, but will with the temptation make also a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for his sake that shewed thee, and for conscience sake.

For as the body is one, and yet hath many members, but all the members of the body, many as they are, are one body, so is Christ.

But now hath God set the members, every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

For our comely parts have no need; but God hath tempered the body together, giving more abundant honour to that which lacked:

And God hath set in the church, first, apostles, secondly, prophets, thirdly, teachers: afterward miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, different kinds of tongues.

What a thing is it, brethren, that when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation?

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

The last enemy that is destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet.

But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to each of the seeds, its own body.

On the first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him in store according as he hath been prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

As God is faithful, our word to you hath not been yea and nay.

For he that establisheth us with you in Christ, and that hath anointed us is God:

Who hath also sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

And if any have caused grief, he hath grieved me but in part, that I may not overburden you all.

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.

Whose unbelieving minds the god of this world hath blinded, lest the illumination of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine upon them.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to inlighten us with the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Jesus Christ.

Now he that hath wrought us to this very thing is God, who hath also given us the earnest of the Spirit.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive according to what he hath done in the body, whether good or evil.

And all things are from God, who hath reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation: Namely,

that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their traspasses to them, and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation.

For he hath made him, who knew no sin, a sin-offering for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God through him.

Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? or what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath a believer with an infidel?

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? Now ye are the temple of the living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

For if there be first a ready mind, a man is accepted, according to what he hath, not according to what he hath not.

For I know your readiness, which I boast concerning you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.

(As it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness remaineth for ever.

Yea, if I should boast something more also of the authority which the Lord hath given us, for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

But we will not boastingly extend ourselves beyond our measure; but according to the measure of the providence, which God hath allotted us, a measure to reach even unto you.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use severity, according to the power which the Lord hath given me, for edification, and not for destruction.

O thoughtless Galatians, who hath bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you!

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father.

(For it is written, Rejoice thou barren, that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for the desolate hath many more children than she that hath an husband.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free, and be not intangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Ye did run well: who hath hindered you, that ye should not obey the truth?

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places through Christ,

As he hath chosen us through him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and blameless before him in love,

by which he hath freely accepted us through the beloved, By whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins,

according to the riches of his grace, Wherein he hath abounded toward us,

Which he wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead; and he hath made him sit at his own right-hand in heavenly places,

And he hath put all things under his feet, and hath given him to be head over all things to the church,

And he hath quickened you,

through his great love wherewith he loved us, Hath quickened us together with Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (by grace ye are saved) And hath raised us up together,

For he is our peace, he who hath made both one,

Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed to the holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted; forgiving one another; as God also for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God of a sweet-smelling savour.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or unclean person, or covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Being persuaded of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ,

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above every name,

But ye know the proof of him, that as a son with his father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful; but ye lacked opportunity.

of which ye heard before in the word of truth, Which is come to you, as also it is in all the world, and bringeth forth fruit, as it hath done likewise among you, from the day ye heard it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

Giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet to partake of the inheritance of the saints in light.

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

he hath now reconciled, By the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy, and spotless, and unreproveable in his sight:

The mystery which hath been hid from ages and generations; but now is manifested to his saints:

And you who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him,

Let none defraud you of your reward by a voluntary humility and worship of angels, intruding into the things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

But he that doth wrong, shall receive for the wrong he hath done; and there is no respect of persons.

For I bear him witness, that he hath a great zeal for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis.

And when this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

to serve the living and true God, And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he hath raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

as a father his own children, And charged you to walk worthy of God, who hath called you to his kingdom and glory.

For God hath not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man but God; who hath also given you his Holy Spirit.

For God hath not appointed us to wrath,

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation, thro' sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

To which he hath called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God even our Father, who hath loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope thro' grace,

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, in that he accounted me faithful,

Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.

But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own family, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.

having been the wife of one husband, Well reported of for good works, if she hath brought up children, if she hath lodged strangers, if she hath washed the feet of the saints, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work.

If any believing man or woman hath widows, let them relieve them; and let not the church be burthened, that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man hath seen, neither can see; to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

For God hath not given us the Spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and sobriety.

Therefore be not thou ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel, according to the power of God, Who hath saved and called us with an holy calling,

But is now made manifest, by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

No man that warreth intangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath inlisted him.

For Demas hath forsaken me, loving the present world, and is gone to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

Of whom be thou also aware; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

And he hath in due time manifested his word, thro' the preaching wherewith I am intrusted, according to the commandment of God our Saviour:

as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

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

For the saving grace of God hath appeared to all men,
