who through him, believe in God, who raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.

but you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people; that you should declare the perfections of him who has called you from darkness into his marvelous light:

or to governor, as those sent by him for the punishment, indeed, of evil doers; but for the praise of them who do good.

who, when he was reviled, did not revile in return; when he suffered he did not threaten, but committed his cause to him who judges righteously-

even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord; whose daughters you are become, doing well, and not fearing any terror.

"For he who is desirous to enjoy life, and to see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

Let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it.

who, having gone into heaven, is at the right hand of God; angels, and authorities, and powers, being subjected to him.

who shall give account to him who is prepared to judge the living and the dead.

If any one speak, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any one minister, let him do it as from the strength which God supplies; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

However, if any one suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him even glorify God on that account.

Wherefore, then, let those who suffer by the will of God, commit their own lives to him in well doing, as a faithful Creator.

Cast all your anxious care on him, because he cares for you.

to him be the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

As his divine power has gifted to us all things which are necessary to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who has called us to glory and virtue.

for when he received from God the Father honor and glory, a vice to this effect came to him from the magnificent glory, "This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight."

And this voice we heard come from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain:

They promise them liberty, whilst they themselves are slaves of corruption: for every one is enslaved by that which overcomes him.

Wherefore, beloved, expecting these things, diligently endeavor to be found of him spotless, and irreproachable, in peace.

And reckon the long-suffering of our Lord, to be for salvation; as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you.

But grow in favor, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

Moreover, this is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and obey not the truth.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

And by this, we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.

He who says, I have known him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man.

But whoever keeps his word, truly in this man the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in him.

He who says he abides in him, ought, himself, also, so to walk even as he walked.

On the other hand, I write to you a new commandment, which is true concerning him and concerning you. For the darkness is passing away, and the light, which is true, now shines.

He who loves his brother, abides in the light, and there is no stumbling block to him.

Fathers, I write to you, because you have known him from the beginning. Young men, I write to you, because you have overcome the wicked one.

Fathers, I have written to you, because you have known him from the beginning. Young men, I have written to you, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.

Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

but the unction which you have received from him abides in you; and you have no need that any one should teach you, unless the same unction teaches you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie: and as it has taught you, you will abide in him.

And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and may not be put to shame by him, at his coming.

If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who works righteousness, has been begotten by him.

Behold how great love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this reason, the world does not know us, because it did not know him.

Beloved, now we are the children of God; but it does not yet appear what we shall be. However, we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him-that we shall see him as he is.

And every one who has this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure.

Moreover, you know that he was manifested that he might take away our sins-and in him is no sin.

Whoever abides in him, does not sin. Whoever sins has not seen him, neither has known him.

Whoever has been begotten by God, does not work sin; because his seed abides in him; and he can not sin, because he has been begotten by God.

Not being of the wicked one, as Cain was, who slew his brother. And on account of what, did he slay him? Because his own works were wicked, and his brother's righteous.

Every one who hates his brother, is a manslayer; and you know that no manslayer has eternal life abiding in him.

Whoever, therefore, has the goods of this world, and sees his brother in need, and yet shuts up his compassion from him, how abides the love of God in him?

For by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

And whatever we ask, we receive from him; because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are pleasing in his sight.

Now he who keeps His commandments, abides in him, and He in him; and by this we know that he abides in us, even by the Spirit, which he has given us.

By this the love of God was manifested to us, that God sent forth his Son, the only begotten, into the world, that we might live through him.

By this, we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

Whoever will confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

And we have known, and believed the love which God has in us. God is love; wherefore, he who abides in love, abides in God, and God in him.

We love him, because he first loved us.

Moreover, this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God, loves his brother, also.

Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ, has been begotten by God; and every one who loves the begetter, loves also the begotten by him.

(He who believes on the Son of God, has the testimony in himself. He who believes not God, has made him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony, which God has testified concerning his Son.)

And this is the confidence which we have with him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hearkens to us.

And if we know that he hearkens to us, concerning whatever we ask; we know that we shall obtain the petitions which we have asked from him.

If any one see his brother sinning a sin, not to death, let him ask, and he will grant to him life, for those who sin not to death. There is a sin leading to death. I do not say concerning it, that you should ask.

We know that whoever has been begotten by God, does not sin; but he who is begotten by God, guards himself, and the wicked on does not lay hold on him.

Moreover, we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we might know him that is true; and we are in him that is true-in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the eternal life.

If any one come to you, and bring not this doctrine; receive him not into your house, nor wish him success:

for he who wishes him success, partakes in his evil deeds.

Whereas, Michael, the Arch Angel, when contending with the devil, (he disputed about the body of Moses,) did not attempt to bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke":

to pass sentence on all, and to convict all the ungodly among them, of all their deeds of ungodliness; which they have impiously committed; and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory, with exceeding joy;

A revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants the things which must shortly be; and sending by his messenger, he signified them to his servant John,

John, to the seven congregation which are in Asia; favor and peace be with you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who has loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Behold, he is coming in the clouds; and every eye shall see him, even they who pierced him: and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of him. Yes: so let it be.

And when I saw him, I fell down at his feet, as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, and said, Fear not; I am the First and the Last;

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who conquers, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. The conqueror shall not be injured by the second death.

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations: To the conqueror I will give of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he who receives it.

And as for him that conquers, and keeps my works to the end, I will give him power over the nations:

And I will give him the morning star.

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

As for the conqueror, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more: and I will inscribe upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is to come down from heaven, from my God; and my new name.

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any one hear my voice, and open the door, I will enter into his house, and will sup with him, and he with me.

As for the conqueror, I will give him to sit down with me upon my throne; as I also have conquered, and sat down with my Father upon his throne.

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

And while the living creatures are giving glory, and honor, and thanks to him who sits upon the throne, who lives for ever and ever,

the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits upon the throne, who lives for ever and ever; and they cast down their crowns before the throne, saying,

And I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a scroll written within and without, sealed with seven seals.

And he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of him who sat upon the throne.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, even all things that are in them, I heard saying, To him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and strength, for ever and ever!

And the four living creatures said, Amen: and the elders fell down and worshiped him.

And I saw, and behold, a white horse; and he who sat upon it, had a bow, and there was given him a crown; and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And another horse came out, which was red; and it was given to him who sat upon it, to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay each other; and there was given to him a great sword.

And I saw, and behold, a pale horse; and as for him who sat on it, his name was Death; and Hades followed him: and there was given to him power to slay the fourth part of the earth with the sword, and with famine, and with death, and with the wild beasts of the field.

and they said to the mountains, and the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb!

And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they who have come out of much tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb:

therefore, they are before the throne of God, and serve him, day and night, in his temple; and he who sits upon the throne, pitches his tabernacle over them.

And another angel came, and stood before the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he might present it with the prayers of all the saints, upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a Star fall from the heaven to the earth; and there was given to him the key of the bottomless pit.

and swore by him that lives for ever and ever, who created the heaven, and those things which are in it; and the sea, and the things which are in it; and the earth, and the things which are in it; that there should be no longer delay.

And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the little book. And he said to me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall embitter your stomach, but in your mouth it shall be as sweet as honey.
