not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once

Consider Him who
endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will
not grow
weary and lose heart.
Ye have
not yet resisted unto blood,
striving against sin.
In your struggle against sin, you have
not yet resisted to the point of
shedding your blood.
And you have forgotten the
exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do
not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do
not lose heart when He rebukes you.
If ye
endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth
not?
Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is
not disciplined by his father?
If you do
not experience discipline like
everyone else, then you are
illegitimate children and
not true sons.
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we
not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and

not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness,

And the sound of a
trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should
not be spoken to them any more:
to a
trumpet blast or to a voice that made its hearers
beg that no further word be spoken.

not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
See to it that you do
not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did
not escape when they refused Him who
warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we
reject Him who warns us from heaven?

not carried about with
divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace;
not with meats, which have
not profited them that have been occupied therein.

yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and

patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting
nothing.

tossed by the wind.

not err, my beloved brethren.

not be
deceived, my beloved brothers.
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
But be ye doers of the word, and
not hearers only,
deceiving your own
selves.

not a
doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
For
anyone who hears the word but does
not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
But
whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being
not a
forgetful hearer, but a
doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—
not being a
forgetful hearer, but an effective
doer—he will be blessed in what he does.
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do
not show

not then partial in
yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath
not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
Listen, my beloved brothers: Has
not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to
inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?
But ye have
despised the poor. Do
not rich men
oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
But you have dishonored the poor. Is it
not the rich who
oppress you and
drag you into court?
Do
not they
blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
Are they
not the ones who
blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
For he that said, Do
not commit
adultery, said also, Do
not kill. Now if thou commit no
adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a
transgressor of the law.

not commit
adultery,” also said, “Do
not murder.” If you do
not commit
adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a
lawbreaker.
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
For judgment without mercy will be shown to
anyone who has
not been
merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
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?
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;
notwithstanding ye give them
not those things which are needful to the body; what
doth it profit?
If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
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.
Likewise also was
not Rahab the
harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
My brethren, be
not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater
condemnation.
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
For in many things we
offend all. If any man
offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to
bridle the whole body.
We all
stumble in many ways. If
anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and
cursing. My brethren, these things ought
not so to be.
Out of the same mouth come blessing and
cursing. My brothers, this should

But if ye have bitter
envying and
strife in your hearts, glory
not, and lie
not against the truth.
But if you
harbor bitter jealousy and
selfish ambition in your hearts, do
not boast in it or deny the truth.
Such wisdom does
not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual,
demonic.
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?
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.
Ye ask, and receive
not, because ye ask
amiss, that ye may
consume it upon your lusts.
And when you do ask, you do
not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may
squander it on your pleasures.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye
not that the friendship of the world is
enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
You adulteresses! Do you
not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore,
whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.
Speak
not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art
not a
doer of the law, but a judge.
Brothers, do
not slander one another.
Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are
not a
practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.
Whereas ye know
not what shall be on the
morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
You do
not even know what will happen
tomorrow! What is your life? You are a
mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he
doth not resist you.
You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
Do
not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will
not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!
But above all things, my brethren,
swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your
yea be
yea; and your
nay,
nay; lest ye fall into
condemnation.
Above all, my brothers, do
not swear,
not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “
Yes” be
yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will
not fall under judgment.
Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would
not rain, and it did
not rain on the land for three and a half years.
To an inheritance incorruptible, and
undefiled, and that fadeth
not away, reserved in heaven for you,
and into an inheritance that is imperishable,
undefiled, and
unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
Whom having
not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him
not, yet believing, ye
rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Though you have
not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do
not see Him now, you believe in Him and
rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
It was revealed to them that they were
not serving themselves, but you, when they
foretold the things now
announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
As
obedient children,
not fashioning
yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
As
obedient children, do
not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were
not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
For you have been born again,
not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and
enduring word of God.
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in
Sion a chief corner stone,
elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall
not be confounded.
For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in
Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be
disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
As free, and
not using your liberty for a
cloke of
maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear;
not only to the good and gentle, but also to the
froward.
Servants, submit
yourselves to your masters with all respect,
not only to those who are good and gentle, but even to those who are unreasonable.
Who, when he was
reviled,
reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened
not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
When they
heaped abuse on Him, He did
not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
Wives, in the same way, submit
yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the
behavior of their wives
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is
not corruptible, even the ornament of a
meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
but from the inner disposition of your heart, the
unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.
Even as
Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are
not afraid with any
amazement.
just as
Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and refuse to give way to fear.
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the
gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will
not be hindered.
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but
contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are
thereunto called, that ye should
inherit a blessing.
Do
not repay evil with evil or
insult with
insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may
inherit a blessing.
But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do
not fear what they fear; do
not be
shaken.”
