Moving Away

And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify <FI>it<Fi> , having sent through his messenger to his servant John,

so that if any one <FI>is<Fi> in Christ--<FI> he is<Fi> a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

for God did so love the world, that His Son--the only begotten--He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

because nothing shall be impossible with God.'

For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;

to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;

Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh--in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what <FI>is<Fi> the will of God--the good, and acceptable, and perfect.

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, — read the full passage →

and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,

As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as <FI>are<Fi> grave, as many as <FI>are<Fi> righteous, as many as <FI>are<Fi> pure, as many as <FI>are<Fi> lovely, as many as <FI>are<Fi> of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;

And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,

for He saith, `In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now <FI>is<Fi> a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' --

For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, — read the full passage →

Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us,

having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform <FI>it<Fi> till a day of Jesus Christ,

as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,

So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved.

brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing--the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth--

And there was given to me a reed like to a rod, and the messenger stood, saying, `Rise, and measure the sanctuary of God, and the altar, and those worshipping in it; — read the full passage →

If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling; — read the full passage →

if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;

The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;

every Writing <FI>is<Fi> God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that <FI>is<Fi> in righteousness,

The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous;

but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;

And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord.

for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time <FI>are<Fi> not worthy <FI>to be compared<Fi> with the glory about to be revealed in us;

`I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

`Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;

all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth for you.

as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, having given themselves to whoredom, and gone after other flesh, have been set before--an example, of fire age-during, justice suffering.

and if any one for his own--and especially for those of the household--doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.

for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with <FI>them<Fi> , according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel--to the wife--imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

that through two immutable things, in which <FI>it is<Fi> impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before <FI>us<Fi> ,
