For every species, both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by the human species.

Ye desire and do not have, so ye murder. And ye envy and cannot obtain, so ye fight and make war. Ye do not have, because ye do not ask.

Ye ask, and do not receive, because ye ask wrongly, so that ye may spend on your pleasures.

Go now, men who say, Today and tomorrow we will go into this city, and will operate one year there, and will engage in trade and will get gain--

Do not grumble, brothers, against each other, so that ye not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the doors.

But above all things, my brothers, swear not. Neither by the heaven, nor the earth, nor any other oath, but let your yes be yes, and the no, no, so that ye may not fall into hypocrisy.

Confess ye the trespasses to each other, and pray for each other so that ye may be healed. A working supplication of a righteous man is very powerful.

so that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold that perishes, and though proven by fire, may be found for praise and esteem and for glory at the revealing of Jesus Christ.

And if ye call on a Father, him who judges impartially according to each man's work, live the time of your sojourn in fear.

as newborn babes, long for the genuine intellectual milk, so that ye may grow by it,

But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for an acquired possession, so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Having your behavior good among the Gentiles, so that, upon which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may glorify God in the day of visitation, from having observed your good works.

For ye were called for this. Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that ye should follow his footsteps.

Who himself took up our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sins, might live to the righteousness of him from whose wound ye were healed.

Likewise the wives, being subordinate to their own husbands, so that even if any are disobedient to the word, they will be gained without a word by the behavior of the wives,

not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but instead giving praise, knowing that ye were called for this, so that ye might inherit a blessing.

For he who wants to love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips not to speak deceit.

Having a good conscience, so that, in what they speak against you as of evil-doers, they may be ashamed, those who revile your good behavior in Christ.

Because Christ also once suffered for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might bring you to God. Having indeed been killed in flesh, but made alive in spirit,

For good-news was preached even to the dead for this, so that they might indeed be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit.

If any man speaks, as oracles of God. If any man serves, as of ability as God supplies. So that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the dominion into the ages of the ages. Truly.

But rejoice in so far as ye are partakers in the sufferings of the Christ, so that also at the revealing of his glory ye may rejoice, having exceeding joy.

Therefore be lowered under the mighty hand of God, so that he may lift you up in time,

Because of which, the precious and greatest promises have been given to us, so that through these ye might become companions of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in lust.

For so the entrance will be furnished to you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

But he had a rebuke of his own lawbreaking. A mute donkey, uttering in a man's voice, restrained the madness of the prophet.

But that of the TRUE proverb has happened to them, The dog returning to his own vomit, and the sow that washed to wallowing in mire.

what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that ye also may have fellowship with us. Even also our fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And we write these things to you, so that our joy may be made full.

If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.

If we say that we have no sin, we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous so that he will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from every unrighteousness.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

My little children, I write these things to you so that ye may not sin. And if any man does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--righteous Jesus Christ.

He who claims to abide in him he also ought so to walk just as that man walked.

They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they were of us, they would have continued with us, but--so that they might be made known, that they are not all of us.

And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is made known, we may have confidence, and not be shamed by him at his coming.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

And ye know that that man was made known so that he might take up our sins. And in him is no sin.

He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Not as Cain. He was of the wicked, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were wrong, and his brother's right.

But whoever has the world's living, and sees his brother having need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

By this the love of God was made known in us, because God sent his Son, the only begotten, into the world so that we might live through him.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also are obligated to love each other.

By this love has been fully perfected with us, so that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because just as that man is, we also are in this world.

And we have this commandment from him, so that he who loves God will also love his brother.

I wrote these things to you, those who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

If any man may see his brother sinning a sin not toward death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, to those not sinning toward death. There is sin toward death. I do not say that he should make request about that.

And we know that the Son of God comes, and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true. And we are in the true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the TRUE God, and the eternal life.

Watch yourselves, so that we may not lose what we have wrought, but may receive a full reward.

Having many things, I did not want to write to you by paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, so that our joy may be filled.

We therefore ought to welcome such men, so that we might become fellow workmen for the truth.

But I hope to see thee straightaway, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.

Woe to them! Because they went in the way of Cain, and rushed to the error of Balaam's reward, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

wild waves of the sea foaming out their own shame, wandering stars for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved into an age.

who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he saw.

Behold, he comes with the clouds and every eye will see him, even the men who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail against him. Yea, Truly.

I became in spirit on the Lord's day and I heard behind me a great voice like a trumpet

saying, What thou see, write in a book and send to the seven congregations: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

And I turned there to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not, I am the first and the last,

Therefore write the things that thou saw, and things that are, and things that are going to happen after these things.

The mystery of the seven stars that thou saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are agents of the seven congregations, and the seven lampstands that thou saw are the seven congregations.

I know thy works, and thy toil, and thy perseverance, and that thou cannot tolerate evil, and thou examined those who say themselves to be apostles, and are not, and found them false.

I know thy works and tribulation and poverty (but thou are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say themselves to be Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

Fear none of the things that thou are going to suffer. Behold, the devil is indeed going to cast some of you into prison, so that ye may be tried, and ye will have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will

I know thy works, and where thou dwell, where Satan's throne is. And thou hold firm my name, and did not deny my faith in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was killed among you where Satan dwells.

So also thou have men who likewise adhere to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

And I gave her time so that she would repent, and she did not want to repent of her fornication.

But I say to you, to those remaining in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who do not know, as they say, the deep things of Satan, I do not cast upon you another burden.

Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, those who say themselves to be Jews, and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them so that they will come and bow down before thy feet, and may know that I have loved thee.

I come quickly, hold firm what thou have, so that none may take thy crown.

So because thou are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to spew thee out of my mouth.

Because thou say, I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing, and do not know that thou are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.

I counsel thee to buy from me gold refined from fire, so that thou may become wealthy, and white garments, so that thou may clothe thyself, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be made known, and eye-salve, so that thou may anoin

And before the throne was like a glassy sea similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and all around the throne, were four beings containing eyes in front and back.

And I saw at the right hand of him who sits on the throne a book, written inside and outside, sealed with seven seals.

And I saw a powerful agent proclaiming in a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals of it?

And none in heaven above nor on the earth nor under the earth was able to open the book or to see in it.

And I wept much because none was found worthy to open the book or to see in it.

And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four beings, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, like it had been killed, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God being sent forth into all

And every creature that is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and is in the sea, and things in them all, I heard saying, The blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion is to him who sits upon the th

And I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four beings saying like the sound of thunder, Come and see.

And behold, a white horse, and he who sits on it having a bow. And a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, and so that he might conquer.

And another horse came forth, fiery red. And it was given to him (to him who sits on it) to take peace from the earth, so that they would kill each other. And a great sword was given to him.

And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third being saying, Come and see. And behold, a black horse, and he who sits on it having a balance in his hand.

And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth being saying, Come and see.

And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of the Lamb that they held.

And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.

And after this I saw four agents standing at the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth, so that wind would not blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree.

And I saw another agent ascending from the sun-rising, having a seal of the living God. And he cried out in a great voice to the four agents to whom it was given to them to harm the earth and the sea,

saying, Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we may seal the bondmen of our God on their foreheads.

And I saw the seven agents who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

And another agent came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer. And much incense was given to him, so that he would give with the prayers of all the sanctified upon the golden altar before the throne.

And the vapor of the incense, with the prayers of the sanctified, ascended before God out of the agent's hand.

And the seven agents who have the seven trumpets prepared themselves so that they might sound.

And the second agent sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was cast into the sea. And the third part of the sea became blood,

and the third part of the creatures in the sea (those having lives) died, and the third part of the ships was destroyed.

And the fourth agent sounded, and the third part of the sun was struck, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them would be darkened. And the day did not shine the third part of

And the fifth agent sounded, and I saw a star fallen from the sky to the earth. And the key of the pit of the abyss was given to him.
