and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

if ye ask anything in my name I will do it.

and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you -- to the age;

'I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you;

he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

Jesus answered and said to him, 'If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.

I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;

'Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father -- the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God;

and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

'But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;

and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;

and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.

'All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;

verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.

'And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one doth take from you,

and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;

'These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.

'In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

'Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.'

and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?'

Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, 'Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;'

the other disciples, therefore, said to him, 'We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, 'If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.'

verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast younger, thou wast girding thyself and wast walking whither thou didst will, but when thou mayest be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and shall carry thee whither thou dost not will;'

Jesus saith to him, 'If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee? be thou following me.' This word, therefore, went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die,

yet Jesus did not say to him, that he doth not die, but, 'If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee?'

And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

and also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants, in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath -- blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke,

because Thou wilt not leave my soul to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Kind One to see corruption;

and now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it will be overthrown,

and we to prayer, and to the ministration of the word, will give ourselves continually.'

and the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and shall do Me service in this place.

seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that is in Egypt, and their groaning I did hear, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send thee to Egypt.

and ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan -- the figures that ye made to bow before them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon.

The heaven is My throne, and the earth My footstool; what house will ye build to Me? saith the Lord, or what is the place of My rest?

for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.'

in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven,

at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven;

said, 'O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord?

and having removed him, He did raise up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, he said, I found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who shall do all My will.

And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus -- I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David;

for David, indeed, his own generation having served by the will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers, and saw corruption,

After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright --

And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, 'We will hear thee again concerning this;'

and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken his garments, he said unto them, 'Your blood is upon your head -- I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.'

but took leave of them, saying, 'It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you -- God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus,

and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, 'The will of the Lord be done.'

what then is it? certainly the multitude it behoveth to come together, for they will hear that thou hast come.

and he said, The God of our fathers did choose thee beforehand to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice out of his mouth,

and I saw him saying to me, Haste and go forth in haste out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me;

and he said unto me, Go, because to nations far off I will send thee.'

I will hear thee -- said he -- when thine accusers also may have come;' he also commanded him to be kept in the praetorium of Herod.

And having heard these things, Felix delayed them -- having known more exactly of the things concerning the way -- saying, 'When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you;'

and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, 'For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for thee;'

but rise, and stand upon thy feet, for for this I appeared to thee, to appoint thee an officer and a witness both of the things thou didst see, and of the things in which I will appear to thee,

'Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;'

always in my prayers beseeching, if by any means now at length I shall have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you,

and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law,

for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die;

for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good,

for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.

And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

for to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its will, but because of Him who did subject it -- in hope,

for the word of promise is this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'

for to Moses He saith, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'

Thou wilt say, then, to me, 'Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'

as also in Hosea He saith, 'I will call what is not My people -- My people; and her not beloved -- Beloved,

for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.

But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, 'I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by an unintelligent nation I will anger you,'

And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become --

Thou wilt say, then, 'The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;' right!

for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree?

and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what is the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect.

I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;

and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, 'Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,'

for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled.

This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;

that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,

Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

for it hath been written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'

so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power;

All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I -- I will not be under authority by any;

and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power.

And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart -- not having necessity -- and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart -- to keep his own virgin -- doth well;

A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will -- only in the Lord;

No temptation hath taken you -- except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear it.

What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms also with the understanding;

in the law it hath been written, that, 'With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear Me, saith the Lord;'

If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon his face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.
