But also if we, or a messenger from heaven, announce good news to you, more than what: we have announced to you, let him be anathema.

For now do I persuade men, or God? or seek I to please men? for if I had yet pleased men, I should not have been the servant of Christ.

And through false brethren introduced privately, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might reduce us to slavery:

But on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of uncircumcision, as Peter of circumcision;

For as many of you as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ.

I am afraid of you, lest I have been wearied for you in vain.

What then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that, if possible, having plucked out your eyes, ye would have given to me.

Have I then been your enemy, speaking truth to you

Ye were neglected from Christ, whoever are justified in the law; ye have fallen from grace.

I have trusted to you in the Lord, that ye will have nothing different in mind; and he troubling you shall bear judgment, whoever he be.

Envyings, slaughters, drunkenness, revelries, and the like: to these which I foretell you, as I have also said before, that they doing such shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

And they of Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and desires.

And let each try his own work, and then in himself alone will he have boasting, and not in another.

Wherefore then as we have time, let us work good to all, and chiefly to them of the household of faith.

As many as: wish to have an agreeable demeanor in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only lest they should be driven out for the cross of Christ.

In whom we have redemption by his blood, the letting go of faults, according to the riches of his grace;

And now in Christ Jesus ye who then being far off have become near in the blood of Christ.

For by him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

If ye have heard of the distribution of the grace of God given to me for you:

In whom we have freedom of speech and access with confidence by his faith.

And ye have not so learned Christ;

He stealing let him steal no more: and rather let him be wearied from fatigue, working good with the hands, that he have to impart to him having need.

And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things. concerning me have rather gone to the advancement of the good news;

Fill ye up my joy, that ye may have the same in mind, having the same love, unanimous, being one in mind.

Therefore, my beloved, as ye have always listened, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and tremor effect your own salvation.

For I have none having a like soul, who naturally will have care for the things concerning you.

And I have trusted in the Lord that I myself also shall come quickly.

For also he was sick near to death: but God compassionated him; and not him only, but also me, lest I should have grief upon grief.

Although I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other think to have confidence in the flesh, I more:

But what things were gain to me, these I have thought loss for Christ.

But surely, I also think all things to be loss for the superiority of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have been made to lose all things, and I think to be offscourings, that I shall gain Christ,

Not that I have alreaedy attained or have been already perfected: and I pursue, if I also may overtake, for which also I was overtaken by Christ Jesus.

Brethren, I reckon not myself to have been overtaken: but one, truly forgetting things behind, and stretching still farther to things before,

Therefore, as many as are completed, let us have this in mind; and if in any thing ye think otherwise, God will also reveal this to you.

Be ye imitators together of me, brethren, and observe narrowly those walking thus, as ye have us for a type.

Not that I speak concerning want; for I have learned, among whom I am, to be satisfied with my condition.

And I have all, and abound: I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, a smell of sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, pleasing to God.

In whom we have redemption by his blood, the remission of sins:

And he is before all, and all things have been established by him.

For I wish you to know how great contest I have for you, and them in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

(Bearing one another, propitiating one another, if any have a complaint against any: as also Christ propitiated for you, so also ye.)

Lords, render ye to servants Justice and equality; knowing that ye also have a Lord in the heavens.

For from you sounded forth the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith towards God went out; so that we have no need to speak any thing.

For they themselves proclaim of us what entrance we have to you, and how ye turned to God from images to serve the living and true God;

But as we have been tried by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, trying our hearts:

Wherefore we would have come to you, I Paul, truly also once and twice; and the adversary hindered us.

For this I also, no more concealing, sent to know your faith, lest some way he tempting have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.

And now Timothy having come to us from you, and having announced to us the good news, your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance. of us always, greatly desiring to see us, as we also you:

Not to pass over and have the advantage over his brother in business: because the Lord just for all these, as we told you before and testified.

And for brotherly love ye have no need to write to you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

That ye should walk becomingly to them without, and have need of nothing.

And of the times and seasons, brethren, ye have no need to write to you.

And we have had confidence in the Lord for you, that what we announce to you, and ye do and will do.

Not that we have not power, but that we give ourselves a type to you to imitate us.

Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they should not be taught to blaspheme.

And he must also have good testimony from them without;lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the accuser.

For, for this also we are wearied and reproached, that we have hoped in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, chiefly of the faithful.

And if any widow have children or descendants, let them learn first to be pious to their own house, and to return recompenses to their progenitors: for this is good and acceptable before God.

Testified of in good works; if she have brought up children, if she lodged strangers, if she washed the feet of the holy, if she relieved the pressed, if she followed every good work.

For already have some turned aside after Satan.

If any man or woman faithful have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be loaded; that it may relieve the truly widows.

Them having sinned rebuke before all, that the rest also have fear.

For the root of all evils is the love of money: which some striving for, have been led astray from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many pains.

Which some proclaiming have missed their aim concerning the faith. Grace with thee. Amen.

I have grace to God, whom I serve from the forefathers in pure consciousness, as I have continual remembrance concerning thee in my prayers night and day;

By which cause I also suffer these things: but I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able to watch my deposits to that day.

And this word as a gangrene, will have an eating ulcer: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;

And as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these have withstood the truth: men corrupted in mind, not tried concerning the faith.

I have contended earnestly the good contest, I have completed the course, I have kept the faith:

When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, be earnest to come to me at Nicopolis: for there have I chosen to pass the winter.

For we have much grace and consolation upon thy love, for the bowels of the holy are refreshed by thee, brother.

For to which of the angels once said he, Thou art my Son, I have this day begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for Father, and he shall be to me for Son?

For we have been partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our foundation firm to the end;

Let us therefore fear, lest a solemn promise being left to come into his rest, any of you should seem to have failed.

For if Jesus had caused them to rest, he would not have spoken of another day after these things.

For we have not a chief priest unable to suffer with our weaknesses; but tried in all things as a resemblance, without sin.

So also Christ honoured not himself, to become chief priest; but he having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

Of whom great is the word to us, and difficult of interpretation to speak, since ye have been sluggish in the hearing.

For also ye ought to be teachers for the time, again ye have need for some one to teach you the elements of the beginning of the sayings of God; and have become those having need of milk, and not of firm food.

And we have been persuaded of you, dearly beloved, of better things, and connected with salvation, if we also thus speak.

That by two unalterable deeds, in which it is impossible for God to deceive we might have a strong consolation, taking refuge in holding firmly the hope set before:

Which we have as an anchor of the soul, unshaken and firm, and entering into that further within the veil.;

And they truly of the sons of Levi, receiving the office of priest, have a command to take a tenth part from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, although having come out of the loins of Abraham:

And the summary to the things spoken: We have such a chief priest, who sat on the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

For every chief priest is appointed to bring in gifts and sacrifices also: wherefore it is necessary also for this to have something which he might bring.

(Since he must have suffered many times from the foundation of the world:) but now once at the termination of the times for the annulling of sin by the sacrifice of himself has he been shown clearly.

So Christ, once offered to have borne the sins of many, of the second time, without sin, shall be seen to them expecting him for salvation.

For would they not have ceased to be brought in? because they serving have no more consciousness of sins, once purified.

For ye also suffered together with me in bonds, and received the pillage of your possessions with joy, knowing to have in yourselves a better and abiding substance in the heavens.

For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

By faith we perceive that the times were adjusted by the word of God, so that things seen have been born not of things brought to light.

By faith Enoch was transferred not to see death; and was not found, because God had transferred him: for before his transferring he had been testified of, to have pleased God.

And truly if they remembered that from which they came out, they had time to have returned.

Having chosen rather to be treated ill with the people of God, than to have the enjoyment of sin for a time;

Ye have not yet resisted until blood, fighting against sin.

And ye have totally forgotten the entreaty which is spoken to you as to sons, My son, neglect not the instruction of the Lord, nor be enervated being rebuked by him:

Since we truly have fathers of our flesh instructors, and we were influenced: shall we not rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and we shall live?

For ye have not come to the mount being handled, and burned with fire, and to duskiness, and to darkness, and to a violent storm,

But ye have come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom unmoved; we should have grace by which we might serve God acceptably, with reverence and circumspection:
