preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that
preach the gospel of peace, and bring
glad tidings of good things!

thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

can equip me for my journey.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither
can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned.

discerned.

Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it
concern you—but if you
can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
I want you to be free from
concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he
can please the Lord.
But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,
There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.
There hath no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be
tempted above that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
No
temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be
tempted beyond what you
can bear. But when you are
tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you
can stand up under it.
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.
You
cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you
cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.
What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or
despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you
despise the church of God and
humiliate those who have nothing? What
can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus
accursed: and that no man
can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be
cursed,” and no one
can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Else when thou shalt
bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say
Amen at thy giving of
thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
Otherwise, if you speak a blessing in spirit, how

uninstructed say “
Amen” to your
thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
For ye may all
prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither
doth corruption
inherit incorruption.
Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable
inherit the imperishable.
And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
And if it is
advisable for me to go also, they
can travel with me.
And it may be that I will
abide,
yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey
whithersoever I go.
Perhaps I will stay with you
awhile, or even
spend the winter, so that you
can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
Let no man therefore
despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
Who comforteth us in all our
tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort

But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same
vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which
vail is done away in Christ.
But their minds were closed. For to this day the same
veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ
can it be removed.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine unto them.
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
For we
commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you
can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not
blamed:
We put no
obstacle in
anyone’s way, so that no one
can discredit our ministry.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what
partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what
fellowship does light have with darkness?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”
I
rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
I
rejoice that I
can have complete confidence in you.
To
preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to
boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
so that we
can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be
boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.
I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak.
Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak
foolishly,) I am bold also.
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows.
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—
Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own
selves. Know ye not your own
selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Examine
yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test
yourselves.
Can’t you see for
yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you actually fail the test?
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a
Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to
Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a
Jew, live like a
Gentile and not like a
Jew, how
can you
compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth
thereto.
Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is
ratified,
cannot be
canceled or
amended.
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after,
cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not
revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to
nullify the promise.
Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have
plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
What then has become of your blessing? For I
can testify that, if it were possible, you would have
torn out your eyes and given them to me.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.
Not of works, lest any man should
boast.
not by works, so that no one
can boast.
For this ye know, that no
whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor
covetous man, who is an
idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
For of this you
can be sure: No immoral, impure, or
greedy person (that is, an
idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Put on the full
armor of God, so that you
can make your stand against the devil’s schemes.
Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you
can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
The former, however,
preach Christ out of
selfish ambition, not
sincerely, supposing that they
can add to the distress of my chains.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
Blotting out the
handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way,
nailing it to his cross;
having
canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away,
nailing it to the cross!
For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
For now we can go on living, as long as you are standing firm in the Lord.
For what
thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy
wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
How
can we adequately
thank God for you in return for our great joy over you in His presence?
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
For if someone does not know how to
manage his own household, how
can he care for the church of God?
If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them
relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may
relieve them that are widows indeed.
If any believing woman has dependent widows, she must assist them and not allow the church to be burdened, so that it can help the widows who are truly in need.
Likewise also the good works of some are manifest
beforehand; and they that are otherwise
cannot be
hid.
In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even the ones that are inconspicuous cannot remain hidden.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man
can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor
can see: to whom be honour and power
everlasting.
Amen.
He alone is
immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor
can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion!
Amen.
Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil
doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
And their word will eat as
doth a
canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
and the talk of such men will spread like
gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to
exhort and to
convince the gainsayers.
He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he
can encourage others by sound teaching and
refute those who
contradict it.
That they may teach the young women to be
sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,
Sound speech, that
cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be
ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
and
wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that
anyone who opposes us will be
ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.
For we have not an high priest which
cannot be touched with the feeling of our
infirmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to
sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was
tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.
Who
can have
compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with
infirmity.
He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is
beset by weakness.
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the
candlestick, and the table, and the
shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
A tabernacle was prepared. In its first room were the lampstand, the table, and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.
And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
Above the ark were the
cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we
cannot discuss these things in detail now.
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the
testator liveth.
because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive.
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things,
can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers
thereunto perfect.
For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the
realities themselves. It
can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering
oftentimes the same sacrifices, which
can never take away sins:
Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and
tempest,
For you have not come to a mountain that
can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness,
gloom, and storm;
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are
shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which
cannot be
shaken may remain.
The words “Once more”
signify the removal of what
can be
shaken—that is, created things—so that the
unshakable may remain.
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which
cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God
acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
Let no man say when he is
tempted, I am
tempted of God: for God
cannot be
tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
Therefore, get rid of all moral
filth and every expression of evil, and
humbly accept the word planted in you, which
can save your souls.
What
doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works?
can faith save him?
What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.
But the tongue
can no man
tame; it is an
unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
but no man
can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive
berries? either a vine, figs? so
can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
My brothers,
can a fig tree grow olives, or a
grapevine bear figs? Neither
can a salt spring produce fresh water.
Ye
lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and
cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
You
crave what you do not have; you kill and
covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask.
Your gold and silver is
cankered; and the
rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have
heaped treasure together for the last days.
And who is he that will
harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore
sober, and watch unto prayer.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and
sober, so that you
can pray.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and
cannot see
afar off, and hath forgotten that he was
purged from his old sins.
But
whoever lacks these traits is
nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been
cleansed from his past sins.
Having eyes full of
adultery, and that
cannot cease from sin;
beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with
covetous practices;
cursed children:
Their eyes are full of
adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied; they
seduce the unstable. They are
accursed children with hearts trained in
greed.
And
hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
Whosoever is born of God
doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he
cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he
cannot go on
sinning, because he has been born of God.
But
whoso hath this world’s good, and
seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his
bowels of
compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
If
anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his
compassion from him, how
can the love of God
abide in him?
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a
liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how
can he love God whom he hath not seen?
If
anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a
liar. For
anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen,
cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
We know that
whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is
begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
We know that
anyone born of God does not keep on
sinning; the One who was born of God protects him, and the evil one
cannot touch him.
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
And in the midst of the seven
candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and
girt about the paps with a golden
girdle.
and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long
robe, with a golden
sash around His chest.
The
mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden
candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven
candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
This is the
mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy
patience, and how thou
canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
I know your deeds, your labor, and your
perseverance. I know that you
cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.
