Concerning this, I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

Forgive me this wrong. Behold the third time I am ready to come to you: yet I will not be burdensom to you; for I seek not yours, but you; for the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children.

I am coming to you this third time: every word shall be established by the mouth of two or three witnesses.

For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

This only would I learn of you, Did you receive the Spirit, by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

And this I say, the covenant which was before confirmed of God through Christ, the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem that now is, and is in bondage with her children.

This persuasion cometh not from him that called you.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

And as many as walk by this rule, peace be upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

who were dead in trespasses and sins, Wherein ye formerly walked, according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in time past,

For by grace ye are saved through faith; and this not of yourselves:

For this cause I Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, (Seeing ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God,

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints is this grace given, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.

For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

This therefore I say and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles, in the vanity of your mind:

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or unclean person, or covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they two shall be one flesh.

This is a great mystery; I mean, concerning Christ and the church.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right. Honour

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the world, of the darkness of this age, against wicked spirits in heavenly places.

Whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

Being persuaded of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ,

As it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, who were all partakers of my grace, both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel.

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more, in all knowledge and in all spiritual sense,

What then? still every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ:

But if I am to live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour, and what I should chuse, I know not.

And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:

This also is of God. For to you it is given, with regard to Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him:

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

For this cause from the day we heard it, we do not cease to pray also for you, and to desire that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

To whom among the Gentiles it was the will of God to make known, what is the riches of this glorious mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

And this I say, that no man may beguile you with inticing words.

Beware lest any man make a prey of you through philosophy and empty deceit, after the traditions of men, after the rudiments of this world, and not after Christ.

Children, obey your parents in all things; for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.

Whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that he might know your state and comfort your hearts,

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;

That none circumvent or defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these things, as we have also told you before and testified.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them that are asleep.

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the brethren.

To this end we pray always for you, that our God would make you worthy of this calling, and fulfill in you all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power;

For when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.

And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

Knowing this, that the law doth not lie against a righteous man; but against the lawless and disobedient, against the ungodly and sinners, the unholy and prophane, against killers of their fathers or their mothers, against murderers,

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.

Yet for this cause I obtained mercy, that on me the chief Jesus Christ might shew all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting.

This charge I commit to thee, son Timotheus, according to the prophecies which went before concerning thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare:

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

This is a faithful saying, If a man desireth the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

This is faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation.

and to requite their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God.

Charge the rich in this world not to be high-minded, neither to trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy:

But the foundation of God standeth fast, having this seal, The Lord knoweth those that are his: and, Let every one who nameth the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.

But know this, that in the last days grievous times will come.

For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest set in order the things which remain, and ordain elders in every city, as I appointed thee:

This witness is true; therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, to the end that they who have believed in God, be careful to excel in good works: these things are good and profitable to men.

And perhaps for this end was he separated for a season, that thou mightest have him for ever;

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?

For this person was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he that hath builded it hath more honour than the house.

For he saith thus in a certain place, of the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works: And in this again, They shall not enter into my rest.

And no one taketh this honour to himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest, but he that said to him, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

And this we will do, if God permit.

For this Melchisedek king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,

not made with hands, that is, not of this building, And not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

And for this end he is the Mediator of a new covenant, that by means of death for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

and sprinkled all the people, Saying, This is the blood of the testament, which God hath enjoined unto you.

And as it is appointed for men once to die, and after this the judgment:

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves; for they watch over your souls, as they that must give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with groans: for that is unprofitable for you.

And I beseech you to do this the more earnestly, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

But whoso looketh diligently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and continueth therein, this man being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the word, this man shall be happy in his doing.

If any one be ever so religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspoted from the world.

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he hath promised to them that love him?
