And for this cause God will send upon them the efficacy of error, so that they shall themselves believe the lie:

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and preserve you from the evil one.

And we trust in the Lord concerning you, that ye both do and will do the things which we give you in charge.

For when we were with you, we gave you this charge, if any will not work, neither let him eat.

If thou lay these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, as one brought up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which thou hast attained.

Take heed to thyself, and to thy doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this, thou wilt both save thyself and those that hear thee.

But the younger widows refuse: for when they grow wanton against Christ, they will needs marry:

But they, that will be rich, fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into ruin and perdition.

which He will manifest in his own times, who is the blessed and only potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords,

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

if we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we disown Him, He will also disown us.

But avoid prophane empty harangues; for they will proceed to more impiety,

and their discourse will eat like a gangrene. Of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus; who have erred from the truth,

and they may awake out of the snare of the devil, who have been captivated by him to his will.

But this know, that in the last days there will be difficult times;

for men will be selfish, covetous, arrogant, proud, blasphemers, undutiful to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

But wicked men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing, in his kingdom;

For the time will come, when they will not bear sound doctrine; but having itching ears, will heap up to themselves teachers after their own hearts:

As to what remains, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day: and not to me only, but also to all those who have longed for his appearance.

Alexander the brazier did me many ill turns: the Lord will reward him according to his deeds.

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory throughout all ages. Amen.

I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will pay it: not to say that thou indeed owest even thy own self to me.

Being fully persuaded of thy compliance, I have written to thee; knowing that thou wilt indeed do more than I ask.

For to which of the angels did He ever say, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?" and again, "I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son?"

and as a mantle wilt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail."

God also testifying together with them by signs, and wonders, and divers miracles, and gifts of the holy Spirit, according to his own will.

saying, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee."

And again, "I will trust in Him:" and again, "Behold, I, and the children which God hath given me."

Therefore, as the holy Ghost saith, "To-day if ye will hear his voice,

"To-day if ye will hear his voice,

He appoints a certain day, called To-day, saying by David so long after, (as it is recorded) "To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts."

and of faith in God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and laying on of hands, and of the resurrection from the dead, and of eternal judgement: (tho' we will do this also, if God permit:)

"Verily blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee."

(for they indeed are become priests without the solemnity of an oath; but He with an oath, by Him who said unto Him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")

as we see there was, for after complaining of them, He adds, "Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their mind, and I will inscribe them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

For I will forgive their crimes, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."

then said I, Lo I come, as in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God."

"Lo I come to do thy will, O God." (He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.)

By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

for after He had said, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and on their minds will I inscribe them;

He adds, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."

For we know who hath said, "To me belongeth vengeance, I will recompense, saith the Lord:" and again, "The Lord will judge his people."

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

For yet a little while, and He, that is coming, will come, and will not delay:

Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is not defiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Let your conversation be free from covetousness, and be contented with what ye have: for He hath said, I will not leave thee; I will never, never forsake thee.

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

make you perfect in every good work, to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Know that our brother Timothy is set at liberty, with whom (if he come soon) I will see you.

who hath of his own will begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.

But one may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith by thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

For every kind of wild beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fishes, is tamed and hath been tamed by mankind:

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

Submit yourselves therefore to God: resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you: cleanse your hands, O sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Be humbled before the Lord, and He will exalt you.

Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go to such a city, and spend a year there, and trade and get gain;

(though ye know not what will be on the morrow; for what is your life? a vapor, which appeareth for a little while, and then vanisheth away:) whereas ye ought to say,

If the Lord will, and we should live, and do this or that:

and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

For so is the will of God, that by your good behaviour ye may silence the ignorance of foolish men:

For what glory is it, if when ye sin and are punished for it, ye bear it patiently? but if when ye do well and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this will gain favor with God.

And who will hurt you, if ye be imitators of Him that is good?

For it is better (if it be the will of God) to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

that he should no longer live the rest of his time in the flesh according to the lusts of men, but after the will of God.

For the time past of our life is sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, inordinate desires, excess of wine, revellings, drunkenness, and abominable idolatries:

having above all things fervent love to each other; for love will cover a multitude of sins.

For the time is coming when judgement is to begin at the house of God: and if at us first, what will be the end of those that obey not the gospel of God?

Wherefore let them, that suffer according to the will of God, commit their souls in well-doing to Him as to a faithful Creator.

For if these be in you and abound, they will not suffer you to be idle, nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wherefore I will not neglect to put you always in mind of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.

And I will endeavour that after my departure also ye may always be able to call these things to remembrance.

for prophecy was not delivered of old at the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Spirit.

But there were indeed false prophets among the people of old, as there will be also among you false teachers, who will privately introduce pernicious heresies, denying even the Lord that bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction,

And many will follow their pernicious tenets, on whose account the way of truth will be reproached:

and by artful speeches they will make sale of you for gain. Whose judgement is long since hastening, and their destruction doth not slumber.

that there will come in the last days scoffers,

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements being set on fire shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein shall be burnt up.

And the world passeth away, and the desire of it: but he, that doth the will of God, abideth for ever.

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that an antichrist will come, there are even now many antichrists, whereby we know that it is the last time.

Let that therefore, which ye have heard from the beginning, abide in you: for if that, which ye heard from the beginning, remain in you, ye also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

And this is the confidence, which we have towards Him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, He heareth us:

If any one see his brother commit a sin which is not unto death, let him pray for him, and God will give him life, that is for them that do not sin unto death. There is a sin unto death: and for that I do not say that he should pray.

for the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us, and will be with us for ever:

who have borne witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well in forwarding, as is worthy of God.

Therefore when I come, I will remember his deeds, prating against us with wicked words: and not content with these, he neither receiveth the brethren himself, nor suffers those that would; and casteth them out of the church.

that in the latter days there will be scoffers, walking according to their own impious lusts.

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of its place, if thou repent not.

Let him, that hath an ear, hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Fear none of the things which thou wilt suffer: behold the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall suffer affliction ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Repent therefore---if not, I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword that goeth out of my mouth.

Let him, that hath an ear, hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna: and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth, but He that receiveth it.

Behold I will cast her into a bed, and those that commit whoredom with her, into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds:

and I will cut off her children by death; and all the churches shall know, that I am He who searcheth the reins and hearts, and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

But to you I say, to the rest in Thyatira, As many as do not hold this doctrine, and who are unacquainted with the depths of Satan, as they speak, I will lay on you no other burden:

And to him that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, will I give power over the nations:

and I will give him the morning-star.

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent: for if thou be not watchful, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come upon thee.
