in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in teaching, showing incorruptness, gravity, sound speech not to be condemned; that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning us.



And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit; so that ye became a model to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. For from you has sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone forth; so that we have no need to speak anything;

Take, brethren, as an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets, who spake in the name of the Lord. Behold, we pronounce those happy who endured: ye heard of the patience of Job; and ye saw the end of the Lord, that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly desires, which, indeed, war against the soul; having your conduct seemly among the gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may, from your good works which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

or to governors, as sent through him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for praise to those who do well; for so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men; as free, and not holding your freedom as a cloak for wickedness, but as servants of God. Honor all men; love the brotherhood; fear God; honor the king. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the perverse.

For, as sheep, ye were going astray; but now ye returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

For thus, in former times, the holy women also, who hoped in God, were wont to adorn themselves, submitting themselves to their own husbands; as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, of whom ye became children; if ye do good, and fear no alarm.


Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth; being patient over it, until it receives the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; establish your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near. Murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye be not judged: behold, The Judge has taken His stand before the doors! read more.
