Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother,

in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins,

because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,

and through him to reconcile the all things to himself -- having made peace through the blood of his cross -- through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens.

in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself,

that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,

See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ,

being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with him through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.

and not holding the head, from which all the body -- through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together -- may increase with the increase of God.

where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman -- but the all and in all -- Christ.

and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus -- giving thanks to the God and Father, through him.

and he who is doing unrighteously shall receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no acceptance of persons.

who did both put to death the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and did persecute us, and God they are not pleasing, and to all men are contrary,

forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always, but the anger did come upon them -- to the end!

because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,

for ye have known what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus,

for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,

because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

that ye be not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the day of Christ hath arrived;

and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,

and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;

so, then, brethren, stand ye fast, and hold the deliverances that ye were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;

and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;

and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,

whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,

I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:

but -- which becometh women professing godly piety -- through good works.

and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.

Ministrants -- let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses,

in hypocrisy speaking lies, being seared in their own conscience,

for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.

be not careless of the gift in thee, that was given thee through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the eldership;

and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.

Against an elder an accusation receive not, except upon two or three witnesses.

As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;

for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, according to a promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,

For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God that is in thee through the putting on of my hands,

and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news,

the good thing committed guard thou through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;

and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach;

and their word as a gangrene will have pasture, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,

And in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honour, and some to dishonour:

And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,

but they shall not advance any further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also did become.

and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise -- to salvation, through faith that is in Christ Jesus;

for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers -- itching in the hearing,

henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord -- the Righteous Judge -- shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.

and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,

for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers -- especially they of the circumcision --

A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said -- 'Cretans! always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!'

that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

sober, pure, keepers of their own houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

Servants -- to their own masters are to be subject, in all things to be well-pleasing, not gainsaying,

(not by works that are in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,

which He poured upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour,

When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis, for there to winter I have determined.

Zenas the lawyer and Apollos bring diligently on their way, that nothing to them may be lacking,

for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.

and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages;

who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might -- through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,

for if the word being spoken through messengers did become stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience did receive a just recompense,

how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving -- to be spoken through the Lord -- by those having heard was confirmed to us,

For it was becoming to Him, because of whom are the all things, and through whom are the all things, many sons to glory bringing, the author of their salvation through sufferings to make perfect,

Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death -- that is, the devil --

and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage,

See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,

for certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did come out of Egypt through Moses;

there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,

and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes -- with whom is our reckoning.

Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens -- Jesus the Son of God -- may we hold fast the profession,

through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered -- the obedience,

that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.

that through two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,

and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham;

and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there he, who is testified to that he was living,

and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes,

If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood -- for the people under it had received law -- what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?

And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest,

(for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, 'The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;')

whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession for them.

for if, indeed, he were upon earth, he would not be a priest -- (there being the priests who are offering according to the law, the gifts,

not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of My taking them by their hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt -- because they did not remain in My covenant, and I did not regard them, saith the Lord, --

because this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will remember no more;' --

And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands -- that is, not of this creation --

neither through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, did enter in once into the holy places, age-during redemption having obtained;

how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

since it had behoved him many times to suffer from the foundation of the world, but now once, at the full end of the ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath been manifested;

in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'

and 'their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;'

and where forgiveness of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh --

For we -- wilfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth -- no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice,
