But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all z}things under him.And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put {} all things under him, that God may be all in all.Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise |}not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?I protest by your rejoicing whi }}ch I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advant ~}ageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt g }ood manners.Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.But som }e man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quicken }ed, except it die:And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of whea }t, or of some other grain:But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.All flesh is not }the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.Ther }e are also celestrial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestrial is one, and the glory of the terrestria }l is another.There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star diff }ereth from another star in glory.So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorrup }tion.:It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:It is sown a natural bo }dy; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.And so it is written, The first ma }n Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but } that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the L }ord from heaven.As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are he }avenly.And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.Now this I say, brethren, } that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.Behold, I shew you a m }ystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for }the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.For this corruptible must put o }n incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mo }rtal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death swallowed up in victory. }O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.Bu }t thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast }, unmoveable, always abounding in the works of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. t |00024Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.Upon the} first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when }I come.And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusale}m.And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: fo}r I do pass through Macedonia.And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey }whithersoever I go.For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.But I w}ill tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.Now i}f Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.Let no man the}refore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.As touchi}ng our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this} time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.}Let all your things be done with charity.I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit}s of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)That ye submit yourselves unto such, and }to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that }which was lacking on your part they have supplied.For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them} that are such.The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in} their house.All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.The salutation of me Paul with mine own han}d.If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be A-nath'e-ma Mar'an-a'tha.The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with} you.My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. be A-nath'e-ma Mar'an-a'tha.The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with600024Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corint}h, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ}.Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.Who comforteth} us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselv}es are comforted of God.For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.And wheth}er we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which} we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for yourconsolation and salvation. And our hope of you is stedfast, knowi}ng, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.For we would not, brethren, have you }ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despa}ired even of life:But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which rai}seth the dead:Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;Ye als}o helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by m}any on our behalf.For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not wi}th fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and moreabundantly to you-ward. For w}e write none other things unto you, than what ye read of acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;As al}so ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.And in} this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;And to pass by you into Macedonia}, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judea.When I therefore was thus min}ded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea} yea, and nay nay?But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was pre}ached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.For all the promises o}f God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath }anointed us, is God;Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.Moreover I call God for a re}cord upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are h}elpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. not as yet unto Corinth.Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are h,00017But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.For if I make you sorry, who is he }then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should} have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.For out o}f much affliction and anquish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might kno}w the love which I have more abundantly unto you.But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I m}ay not overcharge you all.Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.So that contrariwise ye }ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.Wherefore }I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of yo}u, whether ye be obedient in all things.To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I }forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ign}orant of his devices.Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,}I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Maced}onia.Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge b}y us in every place.For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:To the on}e we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these thing}s?For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in} Christ. are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in 00018Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of comm}endation from you?Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declar}ed to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables o}f stone, but in fleshly tables of theheart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:Not that we are sufficient of} ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;Who also hath made us able ministers of the new} testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.But if the ministration} of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face }of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was tobe done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be r}ather glorious?For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in }glory.For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.For if that} which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.Seeing then that we have such hope, we use grea}t plainness of speech:And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly loo}k to the end of that which is abolished:But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken awa}y in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.But even unto this day when Moses is read, the vail} is upon their heart.Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.Now the Lord is that Spirit:} and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the L}ord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. s in a glass the glory of the L^00018Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not.But have renounced the hidden things o }f dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commendi }ng ourselves to every man'sconscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:In who }m the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, wh }o is the image of God, should shine unto them.For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your ser }vants for Jesus' sake.For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the ligh }t of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the ex }cellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but }not in despair;Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;Always bearing about in the body the dying of the } Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.For we which live are alway delivered unto death } for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.So then death worketh in us, but li }fe in you.We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also b }elieve, and therefore speak;Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall presen }t us with you.For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to t }he glory of God.For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.F }or our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;While we } look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but } the things which are not seen are eternal. t the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but -00021For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made w$}ith hands, eternal in the heavens.For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from h$}eaven:If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: $}not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.Now he that hath wrought $}us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.Therefore we are always confident, k$}nowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)We are con$}fident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.Wherefore we labour, that, whe$}ther present or absent, we may be accepted of him.For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one $}may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.Knowing therefore the ter$}ror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.$}For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answe%}r them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober,%} it is for your cause.For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all%} dead:And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for%} them, and rose again.Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh,%} yet now henceforth know we him no more.Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;%} behold, all things are become new.And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath gi%}ven to us the ministry of reconciliation;To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing th%}eir trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as t%}hough God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.For he hath made him to be sin for u% }s, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. iled to God.For he hath made him to be sin for u$L00018We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.(For he saith, I ) }have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; beho) }ld, now is the day of salvation.)Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:But in all things approvin) }g ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,In stripes, in imprison)}ments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Ho)}ly Ghost, by love unfeigned,By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and )}on the left,By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;As unknown, and yet well kn)}own;

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall re5M}ap also bountifully.Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for 5N}God loveth a cheerful giver.And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in a5O}ll things, may abound to every good work:(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteo5P}usness remaineth for ever.Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your see5Q}d sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth thr5R}ough us thanksgiving to God.For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundan5S}t also by many thanksgivings unto God;Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subj5T}ection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;And by their prayer for you,5U} which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. ir prayer for you,4k00018Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being ab9W}sent am bold toward you:But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think 9X}to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.For though we walk in the flesh, we do not9Y} war after the flesh:(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong ho9Z}ld;)Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into cap9[}tivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience i9\}s fulfilled.Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of h9]}imself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.For though I should boast somewhat more of our aut9^}hority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:That I may not s9_}eem as if I would terrify you by letters.For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is wea9`}k, and his speech contemptible.Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such 9a}will we be also in deed when we are present.For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some tha9b}t commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, arenot wise.

Amen.I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that caI}lled you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would peI}rvert the gospel of Christ.But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have I}preached unto you, let him be accursed.As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you thI}an that ye have received, let him be accursed.For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet plI}eased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is noI}t after man.For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.For ye have heI}ard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wastedI} it:And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditI}ions of my fathers.But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace.To reveal hiI}s Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:Neither went I up tI}o Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.Then after threeI} years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.But other of the apostles saw I none, save JamesI} the Lord's brother.Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.Afterwards I came into the regionsI} of Syria and Cilicia;And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judea which were in Christ:But they had heard only, ThatI} he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.And they glorified God unto me. ThatHx00021Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.And I went up by revM}elation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputaM}tion, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled tM}o be circumcised:And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which weM} have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that M}the truth of the gospel might continue with you.But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no M}matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:But contrM}ariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was untM}o Peter;(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward tM}he Gentiles:)And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gaM}ve to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, andthey unto the circumcision. OnlyM} they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.But when Peter was come to Antioch, I M}withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the GentilesM}: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.And the other JewsM} dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.But when I saw that theM}y walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest M}after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews,why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? We who are JewM}s by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith oM}f Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the workM}s of thelaw: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ouM}rselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.For if I build again the things which I M}destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.I am crucifiedM} with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by tM}he faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himselffor me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness M}come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. ave himselffor me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness L/00029O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath beeQ}n evidently set forth, crucified among you?This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, oQ}r by the hearing of faith?Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?Have ye suffeQ}red so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles amongQ} you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to Q}him for righteousness.Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.And the scripturQ}e, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shalQ}l all nations be blessed.So then they which be of faith was blessed with faithful Abraham.For as many as are of the works oQ}f the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in Q}the book of the law to do them.But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shaQ}ll live by faith.And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.Christ hath redeemed us from Q}the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:That the blesQ}sing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faitQ}h.Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth,Q} or addeth thereto.Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of oneQ}, And to thy seed, which is Christ.And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, wQ}hich was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.For if the inhQ}eritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.Wherefore then serveth the law? It wQ}as added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in Q}the hand of a mediator.Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.Is the law then against the promises of God?Q} God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.Q}But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believQ}e.But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.Wherefore tQ}he law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.But after that faith is come, we arQ}e no longer under a schoolmaster.For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.For as many of you as have beeQ}n baptized into Christ have put on Christ.There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither mQ}ale nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according toQ} the promise. for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according toP00031Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;But is V}under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under tV}he elements of the world:But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the V}law,To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.And because ye are sons, God hath seV}nt forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and iV}f a son, then an heir of God through Christ.Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature areV} no gods.But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elemeV}nts, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.I am afraid of you, lest V}I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at aV }ll.Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.And my temptation which was in myV } flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.Where is then the blessednessV } 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 tV }hem to me.Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, theyV } would exclude you, that ye might affect them.But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only wV}hen I am present with you.My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,I desire to beV} present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do yV}e not hear the law?For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.But he whoV} was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.Which things are an allegory: for theV}se are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.For this Agar is mount SinV}ai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.But Jerusalem which is above is fV}ree, which is the mother of us all.For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that V}travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are V}the children of promise.But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so V}it is now.Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not V}be heir with the son of the freewoman.So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. shall not Tr00026Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bonZ}dage.Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.For I testify again to every mZ}an that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you areZ} justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.For iZ}n Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.Ye did run well;Z} who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.A little leaven leZ}aveneth the whole lump.I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleZ }th you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecutiZ!}on? then is the offence of the cross ceased.I would they were even cut off which trouble you.For, brethren, ye have been caZ"}lled unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.For all the law is fulfiZ#}lled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed thZ$}at ye be not consumed one of another.This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.ForZ%} the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so thatZ&} ye cannot do the things that ye would.But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.Now the works of the flesh Z'}are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emZ(}ulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell Z)}you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.But thZ*}e fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.Meekness, temperance: against such theZ+}re is no law.And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.If we live in the Spirit, leZ,}t us also walk in the Spirit.Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. e Spirit, leXq00018Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; cons^.}idering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.For if a man thin^/}k himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he ^0}have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.For every man shall bear his own burden.Let him that is taught in the w^1}ord communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, t^2}hat shall he also reap.For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit ^3}shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we fain^4}t not.As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.^5}Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, th^6}ey constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.For neither they themse^7}lves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.But God forbid ^8}that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world^9}.For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.And as many as walk ac^:}cording to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I b^;}ear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. for I b\u00023Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ b=}Jesus:Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.Blessed be the God and Father of our b>}Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:According as he hath chosenb?} us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:Having predestinab@}ted us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,To the praise ofbA} the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.In whom we have redemption through his blood, the fbB}orgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;HavibC}ng made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:That in the bD}dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and whicbE}h are on earth; even in him:In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of hibF}m who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted ibG}n Christ.In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after thbH}at ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemptionbI} of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, bJ}and love unto all the saints,Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,That the God of our LordbK} Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:The eyes obL}f your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory ofbM} his inheritance in the saints,And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the worbN}king of his mighty power,Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in bO}the heavenly places,Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only ibP}n this world, but also in that which is to come:And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over allbQ} things to the church,Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. , and gave him to be the head over all`W00022And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;Wherein in time past ye walked according to the coursefS} of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:fT}Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh andfU} of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love whefV}rewith he loved us,Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)And hathfW} raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:That in the ages to come he might shew tfX}he exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.For by grace are ye saved through faith; andfY} that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:Not of works, lest any man should boast.For we are his workmanship, created fZ}in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.Wherefore remember, that ye beinf[}g in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh madf\}e by hands;That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the cof]}venants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are mf^}ade nigh by the blood of Christ.For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partitif_}on between us;Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make inf`} himself of twain one new man, so making peace;And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slfa}ain the enmity thereby:And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.For through him wfb}e both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens wfc}ith the saints, and of the household of God;And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himfd}self being chief corner stone;In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:In whofe}m ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:In whodM00021For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,If ye have heard of the dispensation of the gracejg} of God which is given me to you-ward:How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few worjh}ds,Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)Which in other ages was not made known unji}to the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;That the Gentiles should be felljj}owheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:Wherefore I was made a minister, accordijk}ng to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.Unto me, who am less than the least ojl}f all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;And to make alljm} men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all tjn}hings by Jesus Christ:To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the chujo}rch the manifold wisdom of God,According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:In whom we have jp}boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, whijq}ch is your glory.For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,Of whom the whole family in heaven jr}and earth is named,That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirijs}t in the inner man;That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,May be able tojt} comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;And to know the love of Christ, which pasju}seth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly abojv}ve all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throujw}ghout all ages, world without end. Amen. the power that worketh in us,Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throuh*00032I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,With alny}l lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit innz} the bond of peace.There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;One Lord, one faithn{}, one baptism,One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.But unto every one of us is given|}n grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity capn}}tive, and gave gifts unto men.(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of then~} earth?He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)And he gavn}e some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;For the perfecting of the saintsn}, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of thn}e knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:That we henceforn}th be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning n}craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which isn} the head, even Christ:From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, accn}ording to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body untothe edifying of itself in loven}. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mn}ind,Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because on}f the blindness of their heart:Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleannesn}s with greediness.But ye have not so learned Christ;If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the trn}uth is in Jesus:That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful n}lusts;And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousnessn} and true holiness.Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of anothern}.Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:Neither give place to the devil.Let him that stole stean}l no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that nen}edeth.Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to use of edifying, that it may ministen}r grace unto the hearers.And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.Let all bin}tterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:And be ye kind one to n}another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. lice:And be ye kind one to la00033Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children:And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himsr}elf for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousner}ss, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are nr}ot convenient: but rather giving of thanks.For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who r}is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.Let no man deceive you with vain words: for becauser} of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.Be not ye therefore partakers with them.For ye wr}ere sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all gr}oodness and righteousness and truth;)Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.And have no fellowship with the unfruitful wor}rks of darkness, but rather reprove them.For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.Br}ut all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.Wherefore he saitr}h, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.See then that ye walk circumspectly, r}not as fools, but as wise,Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what r}the will of the Lord is.And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;Speaking to yourselvesr} in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;Giving thanks always for all tr}hings unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.r}Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ isr} the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives r}be to their own husbands in every thing.Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for}r it;That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,That he might present it to himself a glorr}ious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.So ought men to r}love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nor}urisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.For r}this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.This r}is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love hisr} wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. eless let every one of you in particular so love hispI00024Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandmev}nt with promise;)That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.And, ye fathers, provoke not your chv}ildren to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.Servants, be obedient to them that are your masv}ters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;Not with eyeservice, as mev}npleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;With good will doing service, as to the Lord,v} and not to men:Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond v}or free.And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; nv}either is there respect of persons with him.Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.Put v}on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.For we wrestle not against the fleshv} and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickev}dness in high places.Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and v}having done all, to stand.Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteov}usness;And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye sv}hall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, whicv}h is the word of God:Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverv}ance and supplication for all saints;And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to mav}ke known the mystery of the gospel,For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to spev}ak.But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall v}make known to you all things:Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he migv}ht comfort your hearts.Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.Grace bv}e with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
