to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run;

and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.

having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you -- by works of law or by the hearing of faith is it?

Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator --

and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,

far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one;

that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,

the enmity in his flesh, the law of the commands in ordinances having done away, that the two he might create in himself into one new man, making peace,

and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity in it,

that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly places, through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man,

that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the bathing of the water in the saying,

that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might;

whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that ye might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts.

for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.

because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.

in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.

And himself is the head of the body -- the assembly -- who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things -- himself -- first,

whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,

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 also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

night and day exceedingly beseeching, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith.

not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;

but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.

who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom is honour and might age-during! Amen.

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,

who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,

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,

and him who was made some little less than messengers we see -- Jesus -- because of the suffering of the death, with glory and honour having been crowned, that by the grace of God for every one he might taste of death.

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,

wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people,

and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,

by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.

Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive,

God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.

and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which those having heard did entreat that a word might not be added to them,

Wherefore, also Jesus -- that he might sanctify through his own blood the people -- without the gate did suffer;

because also Christ once for sin did suffer -- righteous for unrighteous -- that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but -- that they might be manifested that they are not all of us.

and having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and his countenance is as the sun shining in its might.

and I did give to her a time that she might reform from her whoredom, and she did not reform;

and every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and the all things in them, heard I saying, 'To Him who is sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, is the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the might -- to the ages of the ages!'

and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains,

and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as came not since men came upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake -- so great!

and he did cry in might -- a great voice, saying, 'Fall, fall did Babylon the great, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird,

and I heard as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, 'Alleluia! because reign did the Lord God -- the Almighty!
