And as it is appointed to men once to die, and after this the judgement;

Hear, my beloved brethren; hath not God chosen the poor of this world who are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which He hath promised to them that love Him? but ye have slighted the poor.

this is not the wisdom, that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and diabolical:

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

but the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word which is preached to you in the gospel.

for this is an evidence of grace, if any one for conscience towards God endure griefs, suffering unjustly.

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.

For unto this are ye called; because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye might follow his steps.

Thus I have written briefly by Silvanus, a faithful brother to you (as I judge) exhorting and testifying, that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

And to this giving all diligence, add to your faith fortitude;

And I think it my duty, while I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by way of remembrance:

knowing that I must soon lay down this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

For He received from God the Father honor and glory when a voice came to Him from the magnificent glory, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation;

This second epistle, my beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your sincere mind in remembrance,

that ye may be mindful of the words formerly spoken by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: knowing this first,

For they are willingly ignorant of this, that by the Word of God the heavens were made of old, and the earth too from the water, and subsisting on the water.

But, beloved; be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

(for this Life was manifested, and we saw it; and we testify and declare unto you that eternal Life, which was with the Father,

Now this we have heard from Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

Who is a liar, if not he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, that denieth the Father as well as the Son;

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

But the unction, which ye have received from Him, abideth in you; and therefore ye have no need that any should teach you: since this very unction teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth and not falshood; even as that hath taught you, abide in Him.

Behold then what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God: though for this reason the world knoweth us not, because it knew not Him.

And every one, that hath this hope in Him, purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

he, that makes a practise of sin, is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. And for this the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doth not practise righteousness, and he who loveth not his brother, is not of God:

for this is the injunction which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: not as Cain who was of the evil one, and slew his brother;

In this we know his love, that He laid down his life for us: and we should be ready to lay down our lives for the brethren.

And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He hath given us a charge to do.

By this ye may know the Spirit of God: every Spirit that confesseth Jesus Christ, who is come in the flesh, is of God:

Herein is love perfected with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement; for as He is, we also are in this world.

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

and in this we know that we love the children of God, since we love God and keep his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that vanquisheth the world, even our faith.

This is He that came by water and by blood, even Jesus the Messiah; not with water only, but with water and blood: and of this the Spirit beareth witness, for the Spirit is truth.

Now if we admit the testimony of men, sure the testimony of God is greater: and this is the testimony of God, which He hath testified concerning his Son.

And the testimony is this, that God hath given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.

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

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

Now if any one come unto you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor wish him success: for he,

For there have crept in some men, who have been of old described as under this condemnation, impious people, that turn the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and deny God the only Lord, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

and cried out, when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like to this great city?

This is the first resurrection. Happy and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on these the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death.

For behold I come quickly: happy is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

And he said unto me, See thou do it not: for I am a fellow-servant of thine, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who observe the words of this book: worship God.

And he said unto me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is near.

I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

and if any one take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things that are written in this book.
