For every kind of wild beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fishes, is tamed and hath been tamed by mankind:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath regenerated us to a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

but as He who hath called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conversation: since it is written,

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should declare the glories of Him, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Seeing therefore Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same thought, that he, who hath mortified the flesh, hath ceased from sin;

as every one hath received a gift, imparting it to each other, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

But may the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a little while, make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

as his divine power hath given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who hath called us by that glory and virtue,

But he, that hath not these, is blind, or short-sighted, having forgot his baptismal purification from his former sins.

knowing that I must soon lay down this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

and account the long-suffering of our Lord salvation, as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, hath written unto you;

But he, that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not where he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

for whosoever denieth the Son, hath not the Father: but he that confesseth the Son acknowledgeth the Father also.

And this is the promise which He hath promised us, even eternal life.

But the unction, which ye have received from Him, abideth in you; and therefore ye have no need that any should teach you: since this very unction teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth and not falshood; even as that hath taught you, abide in Him.

Behold then what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God: though for this reason the world knoweth us not, because it knew not Him.

And every one, that hath this hope in Him, purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, nor known Him.

Wonder not then, my brethren, if the world hate you:

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

But if any one, who hath the good things of the world, seeth his brother in want, and shutteth up his bowels from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He hath given us a charge to do.

And he, that keepeth his commandments, abideth in Him, and He in him: and hereby we know that He abideth in us, even by the Spirit which He hath given us.

No one hath ever seen God: but if we love one another, God dwelleth in us and his love is perfected in us.

By this we know that we are in Him, and He in us; because He hath given us of his Spirit.

And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

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

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment; but he that feareth is not perfected in love.

I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for how can he, that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen?

Now if we admit the testimony of men, sure the testimony of God is greater: and this is the testimony of God, which He hath testified concerning his Son.

He, that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness in himself: he, that believeth not God, hath in effect made Him a liar, because he believed not the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.

And the testimony is this, that God hath given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.

He that hath the Son hath life: he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

But we know that the son of God is come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, and in his son Jesus Christ: He is the true God, and eternal life.

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: but he, that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the Father and the Son.

Beloved, do not thou follow that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doth good is of God: but he, that doth evil, hath not seen God.

and the angels that kept not their primitive state, but left their proper abode, hath He reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, to the judgement of the great day:

and hath made us kings and priests to his God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

Let him, that hath an ear, hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Let him, that hath an ear, hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. He, that overcometh, shall not be hurt by the second death.

And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, These things saith He, who hath the sharp two-edged sword;

So thou hast also them that hold the like doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I hate.

Let him, that hath an ear, hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna: and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth, but He that receiveth it.

And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, These things saith the Son of God, who hath eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass; I know thy works,

Let him, that hath an ear, hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, These things saith He that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead:

Let him, that hath an ear, hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things saith the holy One, He that is true, He that hath the key of David, He that openeth and no one shutteth, and shutteth and no one openeth:

Let him, that hath an ear, hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Let him, that hath an ear, hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

And one of the elders said to me, Weep not;---Behold the lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose its seven seals.

but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall sound his trumpet, the mystery of God shall be finished, as He hath declared to his servants the prophets.

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they might nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them: but wo to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea; for the devil is come down to you, in great rage, knowing that he hath but a short time.

If any one hath an ear, let him hear. Whosoever leadeth into captivity shall go away into captivity:

but he that hath the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom required; and let him, that hath understanding, compute the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred sixty six.

And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues, and they repented not to give Him glory.

And the angel said unto me, Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

To this the mind that hath wisdom will attend: for the seven heads are seven hills, on which the woman sitteth.

And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall devour her flesh, and burn her with fire.

For God hath put it into their hearts to do according to his mind, and to perform one and the same purpose, even to give their kingdoms to the beast, till the words of God be accomplished.

for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Give to her as she hath given to you, and repay her double according to her works: in the cup, which she hath mixed, mix for her double.

As much as she hath glorified herself and indulged to luxury, so much torment and sorrow give her; because she saith in her heart, I sit as a queen, I am not a widow, and I shall see no sorrow.

Rejoice over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, for God hath avenged you on her.

He hath judged the great whore, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand:

Let us rejoice and exult and give glory to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

His eyes are as a flame of fire, and many crowns on his head: and He hath a name written, which none knoweth but Himself.

And He hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, "King of kings, and Lord of lords."

This is the first resurrection. Happy and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on these the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God enlighteneth it, and the Lamb is it's light.

And he said unto me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets hath sent his angel to shew unto his servants what must soon be.
