See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.

Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself: and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;

According to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

Only let your manner of life be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

I sent him therefore the more speedily, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them who walk so as ye have us for an example.

Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Cesar's household.

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself; by him, I say, whether they are things on earth, or things in heaven.

Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

And this I say, lest any man should deceive you with enticing words.

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man hath a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, saluteth you; and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (concerning whom ye received commandments: if he should come to you, receive him;)

And say to Archippus, take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.

So that ye were examples to all that believe, in Macedonia and Achaia.

For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

But as we were allowed by God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts.

So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted to you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear to us.

But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

But now when Timothy came from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:

Night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Neither did we eat any man's bread for naught; but wrought with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith; so do.

Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm.

Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

Impose hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thy frequent infirmities.

Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after.

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called;

Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

If a man therefore will cleanse himself from these, he will be a vessel to honor, sanctified and meet for the master's use, and prepared to every good work.

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is according to godliness;

Sound speech that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning you.

Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it: although I do not say to thee that thou owest to me even thy own self besides.

Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him;

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not made subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

And by reason of this he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said to him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee.

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

And as I may say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern shown to thee in the mount.

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid around with gold, in which was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him he will appear the second time without sin to salvation.

By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the vail, that is to say, his flesh;

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Partly, while ye were made a gazing-stock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while ye became companions of them that were so used.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which appeared.

By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea-shore innumerable.

For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

By faith Moses when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

By faith Moses, when he had come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians essaying to do were drowned.

And what shall I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah, of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

Wherefore, seeing we also are encompassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble:)

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.

Know ye, that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

For the sun hath no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and its flower falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

If any man among you seemeth to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
