For I testify for them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge;

"Lord, they have killed Thy prophets, they have digged down Thy altars; and I am left alone, and they are seeking my soul."

Let every soul be in subjection to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority, except from God; and the authorities that are have been appointed by God.

who, for my soul, laid down their own necks; to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the gentiles;

If to others I am not an apostle, yet to you at least I am; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord.

So also it has been written, "The first man Adam was a living soul"; the last Adam, a life-giving Spirit.

But I invoke God as a witness upon my soul, that, as sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth.

and not by his coming only, but also by the consolation with which he was consoled over you; rehearsing to us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more:

For, behold this very thing??hat ye were made sorry after a godly manner??hat diligence it wrought in you; yea, what defense of yourselves; yea, what indignation; yea, what fear; yea what earnest desire; yea, what zeal; yea, what avenging! In everything ye proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

and not that only, but who was also appointed by the assemblies, as our fellow-traveler with this gift which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and our zeal;

for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to the Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past; and your zeal stirred up the majority of them.

not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul,

Only demean yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ; that, whether coming and seeing you, or being absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye are standing fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the Gospel;

fill ye up my joy, that ye think the same thing; having the same love; united in soul; minding the one thing;

because, for the work of Christ, he came near to death; imperiling his soul, that he might fill up your lack of ministry toward me.

as to zeal, persecuting the assembly: as to the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth, and will bring to nought by the manifestation of His presence;

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God has been standing, having this seal, "The Lord knew those who are His:" and "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."

For the word of God is living, and effectual, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to a dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and firm, and entering into the place within the veil;

"But My righteous one shall live by faith, and, if he draw back, My soul has no pleasure in him."

But we are not of those who draw back to destruction; but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

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

let him know that he who converted a sinner from the error of his way, will save a soul from death, and cover a multitude of sins.

Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly desires, which, indeed, war against the soul;

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

The Lord is not slow respecting the promise, as some account slowness; but He is long-suffering toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

not as Cain who was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

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.

Beloved, I pray that, in all things, you may be prosperous, and be in health, even as your soul prospers.

And her children I will slay with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am He Who searcheth the reins and hearts; and I will give to you, each one, according to your works.

And, when He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come."

And there went forth another horse, a red one; and to him who was sitting thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

And, when He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come." And I saw, and, behold, a black horse, and he who sat on him had a balance in his hand.

And, when He opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come."

And, when He opened the fifth seal, I saw, underneath the altar, the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they were holding.

And I saw, when He opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake took place; and the sun became black as sack-cloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;

And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God; and he cried with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

saying, "Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall seal the servants of our God on their foreheads."

And, when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven about half an hour.

And it was said to them, that they should not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God upon their foreheads.

And, when the seven thunders spake, I was about to write; and I heard a voice out of Heaven, saying, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders spake, and write them not."
