saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded in respect to you."

And inasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this comes judgment;

but This Man, having offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

"This is the covenant that I will covenant with them after those days," saith the Lord, "Putting my laws on their hearts, I will also write them upon their mind;

for in this the elders were well reported of.

Obey those who are your leaders, and submit to them; for they watch in behalf of your souls, as those who are to give an account; that they may do this with joy, and not with sighing; for this would be unprofitable for you.

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

Ye know this, my beloved brethren; but let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

If anyone thinks that he is religious, while he bridles not his own tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

A religion, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

This wisdom is not the wisdom that comes down from above; but is earthly, soulish, demoniacal!

Come now, ye who say, "To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend one year there, and trade, and get gain,"

instead of your saying, "If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that."

And this is the word of the good news which was proclaimed to you.

To you, therefore, who believe is the preciousness; but to those who disbelieve, a stone which the builders rejected, this was made into a head of a corner,"

For this is acceptable, if, for conscience toward God, one endures griefs, suffering wrongfully.

For what glory is it, if, when sinning and being beaten, ye endure it? but, if, when doing well and suffering for it, ye endure it, this is acceptable with God.

For to this were ye called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow His steps;

not returning evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but, on the contrary, blessing; because to this end ye were called, that ye might inherit a blessing.

For to this end was the Gospel proclaimed even to the dead, that they might, indeed, be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit.

but, if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.

Through Sylvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I wrote to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God; within which stand ye.

and, even for this very reason, adding all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;

And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you;

For He received from God the Father honor and glory, when such a voice was borne to Him from the Excellent Glory, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I took delight";

and this voice we heard borne from Heaven, when we were with Him in the holy mount.

knowing this, first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of one's own interpretation;

(for this righteous man, dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, was torturing his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds):

promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what one is overcome by this he has become enslaved.

This, a second letter, beloved, I now write to you, in both which I stir up your sincere mind by way of remembrance;

Knowing this first, that there will come in the last days scoffers with scoffing, walking after their own desires,

For this escapes them willingly, that there were heavens of old, and an earth set together out of water, and through water, by the word of God:

But, beloved, let not this one thing escape you, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

And this is the message which we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

And in this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments.

but whosoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected: in this we know that we are in Him.

Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Anti-Christ, he that denies the Father and the Son.

And this is the promise which He Himself promised us, the eternal life.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath given to us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knows us not, because it knew Him not.

And every one that has this hope on Him purifies himself, even as He is pure.

He that commits sin is of the Devil; because the Devil sins from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that He might destroy the works of the Devil.

In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the Devil: every one that does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that does not love his brother;

because this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

In this we have known the love, that He laid down His soul in our behalf; and we ought to lay down our souls in behalf of the brethren.

And this is the commandment, that we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

And he that keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit Whom He gave to us.

In this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ hath come in flesh is of God;

and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Anti-Christ, of which ye have heard that it is coming, and now it is in the world already.

They are of the world; for this cause they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

We are of God; he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears us not: from this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

In this was manifested the love of God in us, that God hath sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through Him.

In this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit.

In this has love been made perfect with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, even so are we in this world.

And this commandment we have from Him, that he who loves God loves his brother also.

In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do His commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome;

because all that has been begotten of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

This is He Who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood.

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; because this is the testimony of God, that He hath testified concerning His Son.

And this is the testimony, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

And this is the confidence which we have toward Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us;

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those that sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall make request concerning this.

And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One: and we are in the True One??n His Son Jesus Christ. This is the True God, and eternal life.

And this is love, that we walk according to His commandment. This is the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.

Because many deceivers went out into the world, who confess not Jesus Christ as coming in flesh. This is the deceiver and the Anti-Christ.

If anyone comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and say not to him, "Greeting,"

I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

On this account, if I come, I will remember his works which he is doing, prating against us with evil words; and not content with these things, he neither himself receives the brethren, and those wishing to do so he forbids, and casts them out of the assembly.

For there crept in stealthily certain men, who of old were set forth for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of our God into lasciviousness; and denying the only Master and our Lord Jesus Christ.

But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who knew not the deep things of Satan, as they say, I cast on you no other burden;

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree.

For this reason are they before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His Temple; and He Who sitteth on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.

And, if anyone wishes to injure them, fire issues out of their mouth, and devours their enemies; and, if anyone wishes to injure them, he must in this manner be slain.

On this account, rejoice, ye Heavens, and ye who dwell in them! Woe to the earth, and to the sea! because the Devil went down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a little time.

The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.

And Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire.

And, behold, I come quickly! Happy is he that keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."

And he says, "See that you do it not. I am a fellow-servant with you and with your brethren the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book: worship God."

And he says to me, "Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.

"I testify to every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone shall add to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;

and, if anyone shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, even from the things written in this book."
