And all indeed who will live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

in hope of life eternal, which God, who cannot lie, hath promised before time had a being;

that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

that they instruct the young women to be discreet, to love their husbands, to love their children,

instructing us, that denying ungodliness and worldly affections, we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in the present day;

But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth,

that justified by his grace, we might become heirs in hope of eternal life.

All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us with fidelity. Grace be with you all. Amen.

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

For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.

I rather for love's sake entreat, being such as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner for Jesus Christ.

who was not made such by the law of a carnal commandment, but by the power of a life indissoluble.

Having therefore, brethren, entire liberty of entrance into the holies by the blood of Jesus??20 a way, which he hath consecrated for us, newly opened, and giving life, through the vail, that is, his flesh;

and let us attentively observe one another, to excite an ardour of love and of good works:

"The just man then will live by faith;" and if he draw back, my soul shall have no delight in him.

By faith also that very Sarah, who was barren, received ability for the conception of seed, and past the usual time of life brought forth a child, because she accounted that he who promised it, would be true to his promise.

THAT which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life;

But whosoever keepeth his word, verily in him is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.

Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

He that loveth not, never knew God; for God is love.

By this was the love of God manifested to us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might have life by him.

Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

And we have known and believed the love which God hath towards us. God is love; and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him.

By this is his love towards us perfected, that we might have confidence at the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world.

Fear is not in this love; but the perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath anguish. He that is afraid is not made perfect in love.

But we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given to us understanding, that we might know the true God; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. HE is the true God, and the life eternal.

THE presbyter to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all who have known the truth:

grace, mercy, peace be with you from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
