We have an altar, of which they serving the tent have no power to eat.

For here have we no abiding city, but we seek that about to be.

Pray for us: for we have trusted that we have a good consciousness, in all things wishing to be well occupied.

And let patience have a perfect work, that ye be perfect and entire, being left behind in nothing.

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, of glory, with distinction of faces.

And ye have despised the beggar. Do not the rich bring you into subjection, and draw you before tribunals?

And what profit, my brethren, if any say he has faith, and should not have works? can faith save him?

So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself.

But certain will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from my works.

And if ye have bitter envy and intrigue in your heart, boast not, and lie not against the truth.

Ye eagerly desire, and have not: ye kill, and are zealous, and cannot succeed: ye fight and wage war, and ye have not, because ye ask not.

Your riches have become corrupted, and your garments have been moth eaten;

Your gold and silver is become rusty; and their rust shall be for a witness to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have gathered up treasures in the last days.

Behold, the hire of laborers having reaped your farms, withheld by you, cries out, and the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Ye have led a luxurious life upon the earth, and have rioted in luxury; ye have nourished your hearts, as in the day of slaughter.

Ye have condemned, ye have killed the just one; and he resists you not.

Behold, we esteem those enduring happy. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and ye see the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

And the prayer of faith shall save him being sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he should have wrought sins, it shall be remitted to him.

To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were serving these things, which now have been again proclaimed to you by them having announced the good news in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; into which angels eagerly desire to stoop and creep.

If ye have tasted that the Lord is good.

For ye were as sheep going astray; but now have turned about to the Shepherd and inspector of your souls.

For the time of life passed over sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the nations, having gone in licentiousness, eager desires, drunkenness, revellings, drinkings, and criminal idolatries:

For the time for judgment to have begun from the house of God: and if first from us, what the end of them not believing the good tidings of God?

Wherefore rather, brethren, be earnest to have your calling and selection made firm: for doing these, ye should not once stumble:

And I shall also be earnest for you always to have, after my exit, this putting in mind to be done.

And we have the prophetic word more firm; which holding to, ye do well, as to a light shining in a dusty place, even till the day shine through, and the morning star spring up in your hearts:

For if having escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and again entangling with these, they be conquered, the last things have been to them worse than the first.

For it was better for them not to have known the way of justice, than, having known, to turn back from the holy command delivererd to them.

The Lord puts not off the solemn promise, as some deem slowness; but is lonsuffering to us, not willing any to perish, but all should have room for repentance.

What was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we beheld, and our own hands felt, concerning the word of life;

(And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and we testify, and announce to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)

What we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also might have communion with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And this is the message which we have heard from him, and we announce to you, that God is light, and no darkness is in him.

If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we are deceived, and do not the truth:

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have communion with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from every sin.

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

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 to you, that ye sin not. And if any sin, we have an intercessor with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:

And in this we know that we have known him, if we should keep his commands.

He saying, I have known him, and not keeping his commands, is a liar, and in him is not the truth.

I write to you, fathers, for ye have known him from the beginning. I write to you, young men, for ye have conquered the evil. I write to you, young children, for ye have known the Father.

I wrote to you, fathers, for ye have known him from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, for ye are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and ye have conquered the evil.

Young children, it is the last hour: and as ye have heard that antichrist comes, and now many antichrists have come; whence we know that it is the last hour.

And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and know all things.

I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

What therefore ye have heard from the beginning, let remain in you. If it remain in you what ye heard from the beginning, ye also shall remain in the Son, and in the Father.

And the anointing which ye received from him remains in you, and ye have no need that any teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is true, and is no lie, and as it taught you, ye shall remain in him.

And now, little children, remain in him; that, when he be manifested, we might have freedom of speech, that we be not shamed from him in his presence.

We know that we have passed from death to life, for we love the brethren. He not loving the brother remains in death.

In this have we known love, for he set his soul for us: and we ought to set the souls for the brethren.

Dearly beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have freedom of speech towards God.

Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they are of God: for many false prophets have come out into the world.

And every spirit which acknowledges not Jesus Christ having come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that of antichrist which ye have heard comes; and now is already in the world.

Ye are of God, little children, and have conquered them: for greater is he in you, than he in the world.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his. Son a Saviour of the world.

And we have known and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love; and he remaining in love remains in God, and God in him.

In this has love been completed with us, that we might have freedom of speech in the day of judgment: for as he is, so are we in this world.

And this command have we from him, That he loving God love his brother also.

These I wrote to you believing in the name of the Son of God; ye might know that ye have etrnal life, and that ye might believe in the name of the Son of God.

And this is the freedom of speech which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us:

And if we know that he hear us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

Look to yourselves, lest we should destroy what things we have wrought, but we should receive a full reward.

I have no joy greater than these that I hear my children walking in truth.

I have many things to write, but I will not by ink and pen write to thee:

To do judgment to all, and to convince all their irreligious of all their works of irreligion which they have impiously acted, and of all the hard things which the sinful irreligious spake against him.

And he living, and I was dead; and, behold, I am living for the times of times, Amen; and have the keys of hades and of death.

But I have against thee, for thou hest let go thy first love.

Neither be afraid of what things thou art about to suffer: behold, the accuser is about to cast of you into prison, that ye might be tried; and ye shall have pressure ten days: be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

But I have a few things against thee, for thou hast there them holding the teaching of Balsam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.

But I have a few things against thee, for thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, calling herself a prophetess, to teach and to lead my servants astray to commit fornication, and to eat things offered to idols.

And say to you, and to the rest among the Thyatirians, as many as have not this teaching, and who know not the burden of Satan, as they say; I will cast no other burden upon you.

But what ye have, hold ye until I come.

And he will rule them with an iron rod; as vessels of earthen ware shall they be rubbed together: as I also have received of my Father.

Be watching, and make firm the remaining things, which are about to die: For I have not found thy works perfected before God.

I know thy works: behold, I have given before thee an open door, and none can shut it, for thou hast a little power, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but they lie; behold, I will make them that they come and worship before thy feet, and they should know that I have loved thee.

For thou sayest, That I am rich, and have abounded, and have need of nothing; and thou knowest not that thou art wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked;

And the four living creatures, one by itself, had six wings together round about; and within full of eyes; and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Omnipotent Ruler, who was, and who being, and who coming.

And out of the smoke came forth locusts into the earth: and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

And it was said to them that they should not injure the grass of the earth, neither any green, nor any tree; except the men only which have not the seal of God upon their foreheads.

And they have tails as scorpions, and goads were in their tails: and their power to injure men five months.

And they have a king over them, the angel of the abyss, the name to him in Hebrew Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

These have power to shut up heaven, that the rain should not wet in the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with every blow, as often as they wish.

And all they dwelling upon earth shall worship him, whose names have not been written in the book of life of the slain Lamb from the foundation of the world.

If any have an ear, let him hear.

And the smoke of their torture goes up forever and ever: and they have no rest day and night, those worshipping the wild beast and his image, and if any receive the stamp of his name.

The wild beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up from the abyss, and go forward to perdition: and they dwelling upon the earth shall wonder, whose names have not been written upon the book of life from the foundation of the world, seeing the wild beast that was, and is not, although he is.

These have one purpose, and their power and authority will they transmit to the wild beast.

For of the wrath of the wine of her fornication have all nations drunk, and the kings of the earth were debauched with her, and the wholesale merchants of the earth were rich from the power of her luxury.

And night shall not be there; and they have no need of a lamp, and the light of the sun; for the Lord God shall enlighten them: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
