For bodily exercise profiteth little: But godliness is good unto all things, as a thing which hath promises of the life that is now, and of the life to come.

Howbeit, if, any widow, hath, children or grandchildren, let them be learning - first, unto their own house, to be shewing reverence, and, returns, to be making unto their progenitors; for, this, is acceptable before God;

But, she who is indeed a widow, and is left alone, hath turned her hope towards God, and is giving attendance unto the supplications and the prayers, night and day, -

and she who is given to luxury, living -- hath died;

If, however, anyone, for his own, and specially them of his household, taketh not forethought, his faith, hath he denied, and is worse, than one without faith!

Let no widow be put on the list under sixty years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband,

In noble works, being well-attested; - if she hath nourished children, if she hath shewn hospitality, if, saints feet, she hath washed, if, them who were in tribulation, she hath succoured, if, in every good, work she hath followed on:

If any, believing woman, hath widows, let her be giving them succour, and not suffer the assembly to be burdened, - that, them who are indeed widows, it may itself succour.

Godliness is great riches, if a man be content with that he hath.

Who alone hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, - Whom no man hath seen - nor can see: unto whom, be honour and might age-abiding. Amen.

O Timothy! that which hath been entrusted, do thou guard, avoiding the profane pratings and oppositions of falsely named knowledge, -

For God hath not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and love, and correction.

Therefore be not thou ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel, according to the power of God, Who hath saved and called us with an holy calling,

Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to the peculiar purpose and favour - which was given to us in Christ Jesus before age-during times,

But hath now been made manifest through means of the forthshining of our Saviour Christ Jesus, - Who, indeed, hath abolished death, and hath thrown light upon life and incorruptibility, through means of the glad-message:

For which cause I suffer also these things. But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which he hath committed to me unto that day.

The Lord grant mercy unto the house, of Onesiphorus, in that, ofttimes, hath he refreshed me, and, as regardeth my chain, hath not been put to shame,

The Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in, that, day; - and, how many times, in Ephesus, he hath ministered, better art, thou, getting to know.

No one that is serving as a soldier, entangleth himself with the matters of his livelihood, that he may please him that hath summoned him to serve as a soldier;

in which I suffer evil -- unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but the word of God hath not been bound;

who with respect to the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection hath been already; and pervert the faith of some.

Howbeit, the firm foundation of God, standeth, having this seal - The Lord hath acknowledged them who are his, and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord stand aloof from unrighteousness.

callous, relentless, scurrilous, dissolute, and savage; they will hate goodness,

They will hate goodness, they will be treacherous, reckless, blinded with pride, lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God.

for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release hath arrived;

Endeavour to come to me soon: for Demas hath forsaken me,

For, Demas, hath forsaken me, having loved the present age, and hath journeyed unto Thessalonica; Crescens unto Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia:

Alexander the coppersmith, of much baseness towards me, hath given proof, - the Lord will render unto him according to his works. -

Of whom, be, thou also, on thy guard, for he hath greatly withstood our words.

Erastus hath abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I left behind me at Miletum sick.

which is after godliness upon the hope of eternal life; which life God, that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began:

but hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I - by injunction of our Saviour God:

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

One of themselves, a prophet of their own, hath said, The Cretans are always liars, evil wild-beasts, lazy gluttons.

For the favour of God, bringing salvation for all men, hath shone forth,

For we ourselves also were in times past, unwise, disobedient, deceived, in danger to lusts, and to divers manners of voluptuousness, living in maliciousness and envy, full of hate, hating one another.

which He hath plentifully shed upon us, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:

having known that he hath been subverted who is such, and doth sin, being self-condemned.

who in time past hath been an unprofitable servant to thee, but now very profitable to thee and to me:

And, if he hath wronged thee at all or oweth thee aught, the same, unto me, do thou reckon: -

God who at sundry times, and in divers manners, spake in time past to the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his SON,

At the end of these days, He hath spoken unto us in his Son, - whom he hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also he hath made the ages;

Which son, being the brightness of his glory, and very image of his substance, bearing up all things with the word of his power, hath in his own person purged our sins, and is sitten on the righthand of the majesty on high,

By so much becoming superior to the messengers, by as much as, going beyond them, he hath inherited a more distinguished name.

And again, when he hath brought in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith: "And let all the angels of God pay him homage."

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness, - For this cause, hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of exultation, beyond thy partners;

But, to which of the messengers, hath he said, at any time - Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool?

For, not unto messengers, hath he subjected the coming habitable earth of which we are speaking;

But one somewhere hath borne witness, saying - What is man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? Or the son of man, that thou shouldst put him in charge?

But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every man .

and again - I, will be confident upon him; and again - Lo! I, and the children which, unto me, God, hath given.

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

For, of more glory than Moses, hath, this one been counted worthy - by as much as more honour than, the house, hath, he that prepared it;

For, every house, is prepared by someone, - but, he that hath prepared all things, is, God.

But Christ, as a son, hath rule over the house, whose house we are, so that we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope, unto the end.

For unto us hath the gospel been preached as well as unto them; but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixt with faith in those that heard it.

For we who have believed, are to enter into the rest, according as he hath said - So I sware in mine anger, They shall not enter into my rest; And yet, the works, from the foundation of the world, had been brought into existence,

For he hath spoken, somewhere, concerning the seventh day , thus - And God rested, on the seventh day, from all his works;

Again, he marketh out a certain day, To-day, in David, saying - after so long a time as this, - according as it hath been said before: - To-day, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts.

For, he that hath entered into his rest, He too, hath rested from his works, just as, from his own, God, rested .

Having then a great high-priest who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession;

For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

For, land, which hath drunk in, the rain, thereupon ofttimes coming, and which bringeth forth vegetation fit for them for whom it is even cultivated, partaketh of a blessing from God;

Where a forerunner in our behalf hath entered, even Jesus, who, according to the rank of Melchizedek, hath become, a high-priest unto times age-abiding.

without father, without mother, without kin, and hath neither beginning of his time, neither yet end of his life: but is likened unto the son of God, and continueth a priest forever.

But, he who deriveth not his pedigree from among them, hath taken tithes of Abraham. And, the holder of the promises, hath he blessed.

And here indeed dying men receive the tithes, but there he hath a testimony borne to him that he liveth.

And - so to say a word - through Abraham, even Levi who taketh tithes hath paid tithes;

Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?

For, he as to whom these things are said, with a different tribe, hath taken partnership, from which, no one, hath given attendance at the altar;

For it is, very evident, that out of Judah hath sprung our Lord, - respecting which tribe, concerning priests, nothing did Moses speak,

Who, not according to a law of commandment dealing with the flesh, hath arisen, but according to the power of an indissoluble life;

For although those priests became such without an oath, He had an oath form God who said to him, The Lord hath sworn and will not change, Thou art a priest forever.

By as much as this, hath, Jesus, become surety of a better covenant also.

But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

Who hath no daily necessity, like the high-priests, beforehand, over his own sins, to be offering sacrifices, after that, over those, of the people, - for, this, he did once for all when, himself, he offered up.

A crowning point on the things being spoken: - such a one as this, have we, as high-priest, who hath sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, -

a minister of holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath raised, and not man.

Who, indeed, are rendering divine service, with a glimpse and shadow, of the heavenly things; even as Moses hath received intimation, when about to complete the tent, - For see! saith he - Thou shalt make all things according to the model which hath been pointed out to thee in the mount.

But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.

In that he saith, A new covenant he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.

the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;

But Christ being come an high-priest of the good things to come, hath entered once for all into the holy places, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this building,

For, where a covenant is, it is necessary for, the death, to be brought in, of him that hath covenanted;

For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.

Wherefore even the first covenant hath not been dedicated without blood.

Saying - This, is the blood of the covenant which, God, hath sent in command unto you:

For Christ hath not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

For the law - which hath but the shadow of good things to come, and not the things in their own fashion - can never with the sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;'

then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.

but this person, having offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever hath seated himself at the right hand of God;

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,

Having therefore, brethren, entire liberty of entrance into the holies by the blood of Jesus??20 a way, which he hath consecrated for us, newly opened, and giving life, through the vail, that is, his flesh;

Which entrance he hath consecrated for us, as a way recent and living, through the veil, that is, his flesh, -

Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering, - for, faithful, is he that hath promised;

(for He is faithful who hath promised) and let us observe each other to the incitement of love and good works:
