having been rooted and grounded in him, and confirmed in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

having been buried with him in baptism, in which you are also raised by the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from the dead:

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.

Epaphras, who is from you, the servant of Jesus Christ, always agonizing in your behalf in his prayers, in order that you may stand perfect even having been fully carried away in all the will of God, salutes you.

but having suffered, and been abused, as you know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.

But, brethren, we having been absent from you for the space of an hour, in presence, not in heart, we were the more exceedingly anxious to see your face with much desire.

Then therefore, brethren, stand, and hold fast the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word, or by our epistle:

in which I have been placed a herald and an apostle I speak the truth, I lie not, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and in truth.

speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been cauterized as to their own conscience,

he has been inflated, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and controversies, from which come envy, strife, blasphemies, evil surmisings,

wranglings of men having been corrupted as to their mind and turned away from the truth, considering that gain is godliness.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, into which you have been called, and witnessed a beautiful testimony before many witnesses.

O Timothy, stand guard over that which has been committed to you, avoiding unsanctified, empty talks and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called,

but now having been made manifest through the appearing of Jesus Christ our Saviour, the one having indeed destroyed death, and lighted up life and immortality through the gospel,

unto which I have been placed a herald, and an apostle, and teacher:

Therefore if any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, having been sanctified, well pleasing to the Lord, having been prepared unto every good work.

and they may escape from the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him (the Lord's servant) according to his will.

But abide thou in those things which thou hast learned and in which thou hast been instructed, knowing from whom thou hast learned;

in order that the man of God may be perfect, having been thoroughly perfected unto every good work.

For I had much joy and consolation over your divine love, because the affections of the saints have been refreshed by you, O brother.

Are not all these ministering spirits, having been sent forth unto ministration for the sake of those who are about to inherit salvation?

For if the word having been spoken by angels was stedfast, and every disobedience and transgression received a just recompense of reward;

But we see Jesus humiliated somewhat in comparison with the angels, having been crowned with glory and honor on account of the suffering of death, in order that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.

for we have been made partakers of Christ, if indeed we may hold fast the beginning of confidence firm unto the end.

Then let us fear, lest at some time, the promise to enter into his rest having been left, some of you may appear to have come short.

For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.

again he appoints a certain day, saying in David, as has previously been said, This day, after so long a time; If you may hear his voice this day, harden not your hearts.

And no creature is hidden in his presence: but all things are naked and have been laid open to the eyes of him to whom the word is unto us.

For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched with our infirmities; but one having been tempted as to all things like unto us, apart from sin.

Who in the days of his flesh, having with strong crying and tears offered up both prayers and supplications unto him who is able to save him from death, and having been heard on account of his piety,

and having been made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all those who obey him;

having been ordained of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

For it is impossible that those having been once enlightened, and tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

whither Jesus the forerunner has entered in our behalf, having been made a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

And, so to speak a word, Levi, the one receiving tithes, has also been tithed through Abraham.

Then indeed if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood, for unto it the people have been tithed, what need is there still that another priest shall rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

insomuch that Jesus has also been made the mediator of a better covenant.

And indeed many have been made priests, because they were prohibited by death from continuing:

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;

For the law institutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which is after the law, the Son, having been made perfect forever.

But in addition to the things which having been spoken this is the principal thing: We have such a high priest, who sat on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

but now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, insomuch that he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been founded on better promises.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, a place would not have been sought for the second.

And these having been thus adjusted, the priests come continually into the first tabernacle, performing the services:

the Holy Spirit showing this, the way of the holies has not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle yet standing:

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctifies unto the purification of the flesh;

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.

For every commandment having been spoken by Moses to all the people according to law, having taken the blood of bullocks and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

since it behooved him frequently to suffer from the foundation of the world: but now in the end of the ages he has been made manifest unto the removal of sin through the sacrifice of himself.

so also Christ, having once been offered up to bear away the sins of many, will appear the second time apart from sin unto salvation to those expecting him.

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?

then I said, Lo, I come in the volume of the Book it has been written of me to do thy will, O God.

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

let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full assurance of faith, having been sprinkled as to our hearts from an evil conscience,

By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and did not fear the commandment of the king.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encompassed about seven days,

And if you are without chastisement, of which all have been partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.

Indeed no chastisement for the present seems to be truly joyful, but sorrowful: but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who have been disciplined by it.

to the whole company, and to the church of the first-born, who have been written in the heavens, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of justified people who have been made perfect,

But he would yet once show the removal of the things shaken, as having been created, in order that the things unshaken may remain.

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

Then the lust, conceiving, brings forth sin; and sin, having been perfected, produces death.

Do they not blaspheme the good name which has been called upon you?

For every nature both of wild beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of oceanic animals, is subdued, and has been subjugated to human nature:

With it we bless the Lord, even the Father; and with it we scold the people, who have been made after the image of God:

unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and never fading, having been kept in the heavens unto you,

to whom it was revealed, because they were ministering not these things for themselves, but for you, which are now proclaimed unto you by those who preach to you the gospel with the Holy Ghost having been sent from heaven; into which things the angels desire to look down.

because it has been written, Ye shall be holy; because I am holy.

knowing that you have been redeemed from your depraved character transmitted from your ancestors, not by corruptible things, silver or gold,

foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but having been made manifest at the last of the times for the sake of you,

having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God, who lives and abides.

but the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word which has been preached unto you.

or to governors, as those having been sent out by him unto the condemnation of evil doers, and the praise of those doing good;

For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps:

not giving evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary blessing; because unto this you have been called, that you may inherit the blessing.

through which precious and greatest promises have been given unto us; that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world through lust.

For not having followed cunningly devised fables, have we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having been eyewitnesses of his majesty.

For having received from God the Father the honor and glory of such a voice having been borne to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

But these, like irrational animals having been born naturally for capture and destruction, blaspheming those things in which they are ignorant; in their own corruption they will indeed corrupt themselves;

having eyes full of an adulteress, and unable to cease from sin; beguiling unestablished souls: having a heart which has been made fat with covetousness; children of the curse:

These are fountains without water, and mists driven away by the storm, for which the blackness of darkness has been reserved.

promising them liberty, they themselves being the slaves of corruption: for to whatsoever any one has been subordinated, to this he has become enslaved.

For it was better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment which has been delivered unto them.

to remember the words which have been spoken hitherto by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles:

but now the heavens and the earth have been kept according to the same word, being reserved for fire in the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people.

Then you, beloved, foreknowing watch, lest, having been led away by the delusion of the ungodly, you may fall from your own stedfastness:

and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us;

but whosoever shall keep his word, truly the divine love of God has been made perfect in him. In this we know that we are in him.

If you may know that he is righteous, know that every one doing righteousness has been born of him.

Every one having been born of God does not sin; because his seed remains in him: and he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.

Beloved, let us love one another with divine love: because divine love is of God; and the one loving with divine love has been born of God, and knows God.

In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him.

No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us.

In this the divine love has been made perfect in us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

There is no fear in divine love; but perfect divine love casts out the fear: because the fear has torment; and the one fearing has not been made perfect in the divine love.

Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving with divine love him who begat, also loves him who has been begotten of him, with divine love.

because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered the world, our faith.

We know that every one who has been born of God, sins not; but the one having been born of God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

To Demetrius it has been testified by all, and by the truth itself: and we also testify: and you know that our testimony is true.

Woe unto them! because they have gone off in the way of Cain, and in the delusion of Balaam they have been seduced by reward, and they perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
