And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the rather, because they that partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. These things teach and exhort.

wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.

But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.

that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.

O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto thee , turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;

longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also.

For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands.

For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day.

That good thing which was committed unto thee guard through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.

This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

(the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

The husbandmen that laboreth must be the first to partake of the fruits.

Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear.

Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.

men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.

Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.

But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.

in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,

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

For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.

henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing.

The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.

But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might me fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge;

if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.

holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.

This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:

that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

to be'sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:

sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.

not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:

knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.

Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all.

that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ.

Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting,

whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:

whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.

For perhaps he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever;

But if he hath wronged the at all, or oweth thee aught, put that to mine account;

I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides.

Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say.

But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you.

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away from them .

how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;

But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.

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 .

For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

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

who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.

For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.

For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?

And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?

And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.

And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

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.

Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.

For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;

So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee:

Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation;

For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.

For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.

For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God:

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:

for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered unto the saints, and still do minister.

And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:
