And ye killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead; of whom we are witnesses. And by faith of his name, this, whom ye see and know, his name made firm, and faith which by him, gave him this completeness before you all.

Therefore repent, and return, for your sins to be wiped out, so that times of refreshment might come from the face of the Lord; And he send Jesus Christ, before proclaimed to you, Whom heaven must truly receive till time of restoration of all which God spake by the mouth of all his holy prophets from forever.

And it shall be, whoever hears not that prophet, shall be destroyed from the people. And all the prophets from Samuel, and those in order, as many as spake, also announced beforehand these days.

To you first God, having raised up his child Jesus, sent him praising you, in turning away each from your wickedness.

And when the priest and captain of the temple and chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt of them, what this might be. And a certain one having come near, announced to them, saying, That, behold, the men which ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. Then the commander having gone with attendants, brought them, not with force: for they feared the people, lest they might be stoned.

After this Judas the Galilean arose in the days of enrolling, and misled enough people after him: and he perished; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered.

And the chief priest said, Hold these things thus? And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye: The God of glory was sent to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, And he said to him, Come out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee. read more.
Then having come out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Charran: and thence, after his father died, he transplanted him into this land, in which ye now dwell. And he gave him none inheritance in it, not a step of the foot: and he promised to give it him for a possession, and to his seed after him, there being no child to him. And God spake thus, That his seed shall be dwelling in a strange land; and it shall subjugate them, and inflict evil four hundred years. And the nation which they serve will I judge, said God: and after these shall they go out, and shall serve me in this place. And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac Jacob; and Jacob the twelve patriarchs. And the patriarchs having been jealous, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, And took him out of all his pressures, and gave him grace and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and set him leader over Egypt and his whole house. And a famine came upon the whole land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great pressure: and our fathers found no food. And Jacob having heard wheat being in Egypt, sent our fathers first. And in the second time, Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's race was manifest to Pharaoh. And Joseph having sent, called for his father Jacob, and all his kindred, in seventy-five souls. And Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers, And they transported him to Sychem and put him in the tomb which Abraham was satisfied with for a price of silver from the sons of Emmor of Sychem. And as the time of the solemn promise drew near, which God aware to Abraham, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt. Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph. He having deceived our race by sophistry, inflicted evil upon our fathers, to make their babes cast out, that they should not breed. In which time Moses was born, and he was shrewd to God, who was nourished up three months in his father's house: And he having been exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for a son to herself. And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was powerful in words and in works. And when the time of forty years was completed to him, it came up upon his heart to take a view of his brethren the sons of Israel. And having seen a certain one injured, he defended, and did vengeance for him harassed, having struck the Egyptian, And he supposed his brethren to understand that God by his hand gives them salvation: and they understood not. And the following day he was seen to those contending, and he compelled them to peace, having said, Men, ye are brethren; wherefore injure ye one another? And he injuring the neighbor repulsed him, having said, Who set thee a ruler and judge over us? Wilt thou not kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday? And Moses fled at this word, and he was a sojourner in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons. And forty years completed, a messenger of the Lord was seen to him in the desert of mount Sina, in a flame of fire in a bramble. And Moses having seen, wondered at the sight: and he coming near to observe attentively, the voice of the Lord was to him, I the God of thy fathers, God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. And Moses being trembling, dared not observe attentively. And the Lord said to him, Loose the shoes of thy feet: for the place in which thou standest is holy land. Having seen, I saw the injury of my people in Egypt, and I heard their groaning, and came down to take them away. And now came, I will send thee into Egypt. This Moses which they denied, having said, Who set thee ruler and judge? this, God sent, a ruler and redeemer by the hand of the messenger having been seen to him in the bramble. He brought them out, having done wonders and sign in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the desert forty years. This is Moses, having said to the sons of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear. This is he having been in the church in the desert with the messenger speaking to him in Mount Sina, and our fathers: who received the living oracles to give to us: To whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected, and in their hearts they turned back into Egypt, Having said to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us: for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has been to him. And they made a calf in those days, and brought up a sacrifice to the image, and rejoiced in the works of their hands. And God turned, and delivered them up to serve the army of heaven; as it has been written in the book of the prophets, Slain victims and sacrifices brought ye not to me forty years in the desert, O house of Israel, And ye took up the tent of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, types which ye made to worship them: and I will transplant you beyond Babylon. The tent of testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as he speaking set to Moses, to make it according to the type which he had seen. Which also our fathers having received brought in with Jesus in the possession of nations, which God drove out from our fathers' face, even to the days of David; Who found grace before God, and asked to find a tent to the God of Jacob. And Solomon built for himself a house. But the Highest dwells not in temples made by hands; as says the prophet, Heaven a throne to me, and earth the footstool of my feet: what house will ye build to me? says the Lord: or what the place of my rest? Did not my hand make all these things? Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers, also you. Which of the prophets did not your fathers drive out and they slew them announcing beforehand of the coming of the Just; of whom ye have now been traitors and murderers: Who have received the law by the regulations of messengers, and ye watched not. And having heard those, they were sawn through their hearts, and they gnashed the teeth upon him. And being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked intently to heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, And he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.

And Paul, having looked intently to the council, said, Men, brethren, I have lived as a citizen in all good conscience to God till this day. And the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike his month. Then said Paul to him, God is about to strike thee, thou wall covered with dust: and sittest thou judging me according to law, and commanded me to be struck illegally? read more.
And they standing by said, Revilest thou God's chief priest? And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it has been written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. And Paul having known that one part is of the Sadducees, and the other of the Pharisees, cried in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee: for the hope and rising up of the dead am I judged. And he having spoken this, there was a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall remain in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and remain in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed. This is my command, That ye love one another, as I loved you. Greater love than this has none, that any lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. I no more call you servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: and I have called you friends; for all which I heard of my Father I made known to you. Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they expelled me, they will also expel you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these will they do to you for my name, for they know not him having sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not sin and now they have no pretext for their sin. He hating me hates my Father also. If I did not the works in them which none other has done, they had not sin: and now have they also seen and hated also me and my Father. But that the word written in their law might be completed, That they hated me gratuitously. And when the Intercessor should come, which I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which comes from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also testify, for ye are with me from the beginning.

And at that time Herod the king laid hands upon to injure certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added also to take Peter. (They were the days of unleavened bread.) read more.
And having seized, he put him in prison, having delivered to four quaternions of soldiers to watch him; wishing after the pascha to bring him to the people. Truly therefore was Peter kept in prison: and prayer was made continually by the church to God for him. And when Herod was about to bring him before, in that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the watch before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the messenger of the Lord stood before, and a light shone in the dwelling: and having struck Peter's side, he raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from the hands. And the messenger said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy small sandals. And he did so. And he said to him, Put round thy garment, and follow me. And having come out, he followed him; and knew not that it is true that being done by the messenger; and seemed to see a vision. And having passed by the first and second watch, they came to the iron gate leading to the city; which of its free will was opened to them: and having come out, they advanced one street; and quickly the messenger departed from him. And Peter being as himself, said, Now know I truly that the Lord sent his messenger, and took me out of the hands of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews. And being conscious, he came to the house of Mary mother of John, surnamed Mark; where were sufficient assembled, and praying. And Peter having knocked at the door of the gate, a young girl came near to listen, by name Rhoda. And having known Peter's voice, from joy she opened not the gate, and running, announced Peter to stand before the gate. And they said to her, Thou art mad. And she was strengthened to have it so. And they said, It is his messenger. And Peter continued knocking: and having opened, they saw him, and were moved. And having shaken with the hand at them to be silent, he related to them how the Lord brought him out of prison. And he said, Announce these things to James, and the brethren. And having come out, he went to another place. And it being day, not a little trouble was among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. And Herod having sought him, and not found, having examined the watch, commanded them to be removed. And having come down from Judea to Cesarea, he tarried.

And the chief priest having risen, and all they with him, (the sect being of the Sadducees,) they were filled with zeal, And put their hands upon the sent, and set them in the public keeping. And a messenger of the Lord by night opened the doors of the prison, and having brought them forth, said, read more.
Go ye, and having stood, speak in the temple all the words of this life. And having heard, they came in by morning to the temple, and taught. But the chief priest having approached, and they with him, called the council together, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison for them to be brought. And the attendants having come near, found them not in the prison, and having returned, they announced, Saying, That we truly found the prison shut with all security, and the watch standing without before the doors: and having opened, we found none within. And when the priest and captain of the temple and chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt of them, what this might be. And a certain one having come near, announced to them, saying, That, behold, the men which ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. Then the commander having gone with attendants, brought them, not with force: for they feared the people, lest they might be stoned. And having brought them, they set in the council: and the chief priest asked them, Saying, Did we not announce to you by order, not to teach by this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye desire to bring upon us this man's blood. And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew with your own hands, having hung him upon a tree. This, God exalted, a Chief and Saviour, with his right hand to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. And we are his witnesses of these words; and the Holy Spirit, whom God gave to them obeying him. And having heard, they gnashed the teeth with rage, and consulted to kill them. And a certain Pharisee having risen up in the council, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honoured by all the people, urged to put the sent without a little while. And he said to them, Men, Israelites, attend to yourselves on account of these men, what ye are about to do. For before these days Theudas arose, saying himself to be somebody: which a number of men followed, about four hundred, who was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were destroyed, and were for nothing. After this Judas the Galilean arose in the days of enrolling, and misled enough people after him: and he perished; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered. And now say I to you, Depart from these men, and leave them; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it shall be destroyed: And if it is of God, ye cannot destroy it; lest ye also be found contenders against God. And by him they were persuaded: and having called the sent, having stripped, they enjoined not to speak in the name of Jesus, and loosed them. Truly therefore they went rejoicing from the face of the council, that for his name they were deemed worthy to be dishonoured. And every day in the temple, and at the house, they ceased not teaching and announcing the good news, Jesus the Christ.

And Annas, chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the lineage of the chief priest. And having set them in the midst, they inquired, In what power, or in what name did ye do this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, read more.
If we are this day examined of the kindness of the sick man, by whom he has been saved; Be it known to all you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarite, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in this he stands before you whole. This is the stone set at nought by you building, he having been for the head of the corner. And salvation is in no other: for neither is another name given under heaven among men, in which we must be saved. And seeing the freedom of speech of Peter and John, and comprehending that they are illiterate men, and private individuals, they wondered; and they knew them, that they were with Jesus. And seeing the man healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict. And having urged them to depart out of the council, they deliberated with one another, Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that truly a known sign has been by them, manifest to all them dwelling in Jerusalem: and we cannot deny. But that it be not more and more exposed to the wind among the people, let us threaten them with a threat, to speak no more in this name to any man. And having called them, they enjoined them universally not to utter neither to teach in the name of Jesus. And Peter and John having answered to them, said, If it is just before God to hear you rather than God, judge ye. For we cannot, the things we have seen and heard, not speak. And they having made additional threats, loosed them, finding nothing how they might chastise them, for sake of the people: for all honoured God for that having been done.

And the chief priest having risen, and all they with him, (the sect being of the Sadducees,) they were filled with zeal, And put their hands upon the sent, and set them in the public keeping.

And the Pharisees, seeing, said to his disciples, Wherefore does your teacher eat with tax collectors and the sinful? And Jesus having heard, said to them, They being strong have no need of a physician, but they having evils. And having gone, learn what is this, I wish mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance.

And the scribes and Pharisees having seen him eating with publicans and sinful, said to his disciples, Why does he eat and drink with publicans and sinful? And Jesus having heard, says to them, They being strong have no need of a physician, but those being affected: I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance.

And the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Wherefore eat and drink ye with publicans and sinful? And Jesus, having answered, said to them, Those being in good health have no need of a physician; but they being ill I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance.

And they speaking to the people, the priests, and commander of the temple, and the Sadducees, resisted them, Being exercised because they taught the people, and announced in Jesus the rising up from the dead. And they put hands upon them, and set in guard for the morrow: for it was already evening.

What was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we beheld, and our own hands felt, concerning the word of life; (And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and we testify, and announce to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;) What we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also might have communion with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

The word ye know, having been through the whole of Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the immersion which John preached; Jesus from Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and power; who passed through doing good, and healing all oppressed by the devil; for God was with him. And ye are witnesses of all which he did in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed, having hanged upon wood: read more.
Him God raised the third day, and gave him to be manifest; Not to all people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead. And he enjoined us to proclaim to the people, and to testify that this is he appointed by God, Judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets testify, for all believing on him to receive remission of sins through his name.

A man was sent from God, the name to him John. This came for testimony, that he might testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through him. He was not that Light, but that he might testify for the Light. read more.
The Light was true, which enlightens every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was by him, and the world knew him not. He came to his own things, and his own received him not. And as many as received him, he gave them authority to be the children of God, to them believing on his name: They were not born of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was flesh, and dwelt with us, (and we beheld his glory, as the glory of the only born of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John testifies for him, and he tried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He coming after me was before me: for he was before me.

That all should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He honouring not the Son, honours not the Father having sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, That he hearing my word, and believing him having sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into judgment; but has passed from death to life. Truly, truly, I say to you, That the hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they hearing shall live. read more.
For as the Father has life in himself, so also gave he to the Son to have life in himself; And gave him authority also to do judgment, because he is the Son of man. Wonder not at this: for the hour comes, in which all they in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall go forth; They having done good, to rising up of life; and they having done bad, to rising up of judgment. I can do nothing of myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father having sent me. If I testify of myself, my testimony is not true. Another is testifying of me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies of me is true. Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but these I say that ye might be saved. He was a burning and manifest light: and ye wished to rejoice for a time in his light. And I have greater testimony than of John: for the works that the Father gave me that I might finish them, the same works that I do, testify of me, that the Father has sent me. And the Father having sent me, he has testified of me. Nor have ye at any time heard his voice, or seen his form. And his word ye have not remaining in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not. Search the writings; for ye think in them to have eternal life: and these are they testifying of me. And ye wish not to come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not glory from man. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I have come in the name of my Father, and ye receive me not: if another should come in his own name, him will ye receive. How can ye believe, receiving glory from one another, and ye seek not the glory that from God alone? Think not that I shall accuse you to the Father: he accusing you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped. For if ye had believed Moses, ye had believed me: for he himself wrote of me. And if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

For I Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, saving thee: I gave Egypt expiating thee, Cush and Seba instead of thee. From that thou wert precious in mine eyes, thou wert honored, and I loved thee: and I will give man instead of thee, and peoples instead of thy soul. Thou shalt not fear, for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the sunrisings, and from the west I will gather thee. read more.
Say to the north, Thou shalt give, and to the south thou shalt not withhold: bring in my sons from far off, and my daughters from the extremities of the earth; All being called by name: and I created him; for my glory I formed him; also I made him. Bring forth the blind people, and there are eyes; and the deaf, and ears to them. Gather all nations together, and people shall be collected: who among them shall announce this, and will they cause us to hear former things? shall they give their witnesses, and be justified? and will they hear, and say, Truth Ye my witnesses, says Jehovah, and my servants whom I chose: so that ye shall know and trust to me, and understand that I am he: before me was no God formed, and after me shall be none. I, I, Jehovah, and none saving besides me. I announced and I saved, and I caused to hear, and no stranger among you: and ye are witnesses, says Jehovah, and I am God.

Hear now, O Jacob and Israel, whom I chose: Thus said Jehovah making thee, and forming thee from the belly, he will help thee; Thou shalt not be afraid, my servant Jacob, and Jeshurun whom I chose. For I will pour water upon the thirsty, and flowings upon the dry: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring. read more.
And they sprung up in the midst of the enclosure as willows by streams of water. This shall say, I to Jehovah; and this shall call in the name of Jacob; and this shall write his hand to Jehovah, and he shall address in the name of Israel. Thus said Jehovah king of Israel, and Jehovah of armies, redeeming him, I the first and I the last; and besides me no God. And who as I shall call and announce it, and set it in order for me from my placing the people of old? and the things coming and that shall come, they shall announce to them. Ye shall not tremble, and ye shall not be afraid: did I not from thence cause thee to hear? and I announced, and ye my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? and no rock; I knew not

Truly they therefore having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, if in this time thou wilt restore the kingdom of Israel? And he said to them, It is not yours to know the times and occasions, which the Father fixed in his own power. But ye shall receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me also in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the last of the earth. read more.
And having said these, they beholding, he was lifted up; and a cloud received him from their eyes. And as they were looking intently to heaven, he going, behold, two men were standing before them in white raiment; And they said, Galilean men, why stand ye looking to heaven this Jesus, taken up from you to heaven, so shall he come which manner ye saw him going to heaven.

And the lame healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran to them in the porch called Solomon's, much amazed. And Peter, having seen, answered to the people, men, Israelites, why wonder ye at this? or why look ye intently at us, as by our own power or devotion having made him to walk? The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, God of our fathers, has honoured his child Jesus; whom ye have delivered up, and denied him before the face of Pilate, he having judged to loose. read more.
And ye denied the Holy and Just, and demanded a man, a murderer, to be yielded to you. And ye killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead; of whom we are witnesses.

Simon Peter, servant and sent of Jesus Christ, to them having received by inheritance equally honoured faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, As his divine power having bestowed upon us all things which for life and devotion, by the knowledge of him having called us by glory and fitness: read more.
(By which the greatest and precious promises are bestowed upon us: that by these ye might be having escaped from the corruption in the world through eager desires.) And also this same, having brought in at the side all earnestness, furnish in addition in your faith fitness; and In fitness knowledge; And in knowledge self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience devotion; And in devotion brotherly love; and in brotherly love, love. For these being to you, and abounding, they establish you not without effort, neither unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For in whom these are not present, he is blind, being affected with shortness of sight, having taken 2Peter 1:forgetfulness of the cleansing formerly of his sins. Wherefore rather, brethren, be earnest to have your calling and selection made firm: for doing these, ye should not once stumble: For so shall an entrance be furnished richly to you in addition into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I will not neglect to remind you always of these things, though having known, and being supported in the present truth. And I deem just, in as far as I am in this tent, to arouse you by putting in mind; Knowing that the laying aside of my tent is swift; as also our Lord Jesus Christ manifested to me. And I shall also be earnest for you always to have, after my exit, this putting in mind to be done. For not having followed ingeniously contrived fictions, we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having been spectators of his majesty.

The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God: Verse Concepts

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall remain in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and remain in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed. This is my command, That ye love one another, as I loved you. Greater love than this has none, that any lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. I no more call you servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: and I have called you friends; for all which I heard of my Father I made known to you. Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they expelled me, they will also expel you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these will they do to you for my name, for they know not him having sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not sin and now they have no pretext for their sin. He hating me hates my Father also. If I did not the works in them which none other has done, they had not sin: and now have they also seen and hated also me and my Father. But that the word written in their law might be completed, That they hated me gratuitously. And when the Intercessor should come, which I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which comes from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also testify, for ye are with me from the beginning.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew with your own hands, having hung him upon a tree. This, God exalted, a Chief and Saviour, with his right hand to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. And we are his witnesses of these words; and the Holy Spirit, whom God gave to them obeying him.

And now, behold, I, bound in the spirit, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things going to happen to me in it; But that the Holy Spirit testifies in the city, saying that bonds and pressures await me.

For this, I Paul, the imprisoned of Christ Jesus for you the nations, If ye have heard of the distribution of the grace of God given to me for you: That by revelation he made Known to me the mystery; (as I before wrote briefly, read more.
By which ye, reading, can perceive My understanding in the mystery of Christ,) Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as now has been revealed to his holy sent and to the prophets by the Spirit:

Who is he conquering the world, if not he believing that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he having come by water and blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water alone, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is testifying, for the Spirit is truth. For three are testifying (in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.
