Not that I already obtained, or have already been made perfect; but I am pressing on, if I may lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not account myself to have laid hold of it; but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forth to the things before. I am pressing on toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. read more.
Let us, therefore, as many as are perfect, think this: and, if in anything ye think differently, even this God will reveal to you;

to walk worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;

and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all, as we also do toward you, to the end that He may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the teaching of immersions, and laying on of hands, of a resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this will we do, if, indeed, God permit.

Having, therefore, put away all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisy, and envies, and all evil speakings, as new-born babes, long ye for the spiritual, unadulterated milk, that thereby ye may grow unto salvation, if ye tasted that the Lord is gracious;


for as many of you as were immersed into Christ, did put on Christ. There exists neither Jew nor Greek, there exists neither bond nor free, there exists neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And, if ye are Christ's, ye are, consequently, Abraham's seed, and heirs according to promise.

The Spirit Himself testifieth with our spirit, that we are children of God; and, if children, heirs also; heirs, indeed, of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if, indeed, we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified with Him.

So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elements of the world. But, when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under law, that He might redeem those under law, that, we might receive the adoption of sons. read more.
And, because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba," Father. So that you are no longer a slave, but a son; and, if a son, also an heir through God.

for a dispensation of the fulness of the seasons, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth; in Him, in Whom we also were made a heritage, having been predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will;

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, cease not praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, to walk worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy; read more.
giving thanks to the Father, Who made us meet for the portion of the inheritance of the saints in light;

For we also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving manifold desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

Whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior; that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.






For chastening endure ye: God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chastens not? But, if ye are without chastisement, of which all have become partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore, we used to have the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced them: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of our spirits, and live? read more.
For they, indeed, for a few days were chastening us, according to what seemed good to them; but He for our profit, that we may partake of His holiness.

For this cause I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you gentiles, if, at least, ye heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, that by revelation was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief; read more.
respecting which ye can, by reading, perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; that the gentiles are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partners with us of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel;

I say, then, did God cast off His people? It could not be! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God did not cast off His people whom He foreknew. Or know ye not what the Scripture says of Elijah? how he pleads with God against Israel: "Lord, they have killed Thy prophets, they have digged down Thy altars; and I am left alone, and they are seeking my soul." read more.
But what says the answer of God to him? "I left for Myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." Even so, then, at this present time also, a remnant, according to an election of grace, has been reserved. But, if by grace, it is no longer of works; otherwise the grace becomes no longer grace. [But, if of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise, the work is no longer work.] What, then? What Israel is seeking for, this he did not obtain; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened; as it has been written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day." And David says, "Let their table be a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them: let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always." I Say, then, did they stumble, that they might fall? It could not be! But by their trespass salvation has come to the gentiles to provoke them to rivalry. Now, if their trespass is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the gentiles, how much more their fulness? But I am speaking to you gentiles. Inasmuch, indeed, then, as I am an apostle of the gentiles, I glorify my ministry; if by any means I may excite to rivalry my flesh, and save some of them. For, if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? And, if the first-fruit is holy, so also is the lump; and, if the root is holy, so also are the branches. And, if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became a joint-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the Olive tree;

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I am speaking as to wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ? read more.
because we, the many, are one bread, one body; for we all partake of the one bread. Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, cease not praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, to walk worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy; read more.
giving thanks to the Father, Who made us meet for the portion of the inheritance of the saints in light; Who delivered us out of the dominion of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love; in Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;

Let as many as are slaves under a yoke account their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the teaching be not blasphemed. And let those having believing masters not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the more, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery-test taking place among you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened to you; but, in so far as ye share in Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of His glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy. If ye are reproached in Christ's name, happy are ye, because the Spirit of glory and that of God rests upon you.

Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who obtained an equally precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: grace to you, and peace be multiplied in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; since His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the full knowledge of Him Who called us through His glory and virtue; read more.
through which have been given to us very great and precious promises, that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world in lust:
















For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, cease not praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, to walk worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy; read more.
