7 Ever learning, and never able to_

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres with- stood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of_“corrupt -minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they_shall_proceed no further : for their folly shall_be manifest unto_ all men, as etheir’s also > was,

THE EPISTLE OF_PAUL TO TITUS.
pach a bservant of_God, and an apostle of_Jesus Christ, according_ to the faith of_God’s =elect, and the acknowledging of_the_truth which -is « after godliness ;
20In hope of_eternal life, which God, that_cannot_lie, promised before the e=world ‘=began ;
3 But hath in_due times manifested His «word through preaching, » which ‘is.committed_unto me according_to thecommandment of_God our-Saviour;
4 To_Titus, mine gown cson after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our “Saviour.
5 For this cause left_I thee in Crete, that thou _-shouldest _/set .in _ order the _ things _ that are _ wanting, and apeordain elders in_every city, as £ had rappointed thee:
6 If -any,'be blameless, the husband of_one wife, having faithful children not accused of_riot or unruly.
7 For a orbishop must be blameless, as the steward of_God; not selfwilled, not soon_angry, not given_to_wine, no striker, not given_to_’
8 But a lover_of_hospitality, a lover_ of_good men, 4 sober, just, pi holy, tem- perate ;
9 Holding_fast the faithful word «as he hath_been_taught, that he_may_be able by 4«sound «doctrine both’ to_ exhort, and to_cconyince the gain- sayers.
10 For there_are many unruly and vain _talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision :
11 Whose mouths must be_stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things _ which they_ ought not, for va filthy lucre’s sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of_their own, said, “The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, ! slow bellies.”
13 This -witness is true. Wherefore 'rebuke them sharply, that they_may_ be_sound in the faith;
14 Not giving_heed to_Jewish fables, and commandments of_men, +that_ turn_from the truth.
15 Unto_the =pure all_things ,‘ are pure: but unto_them_that “are_defiled and unbelieving 7s nothing pure; but even their «mind and «conscience ‘is_ defiled.
16 They_ profess ‘that _they_ know God; but in «works they_deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
BUT 'speak thon the_things_which become / sound doctrine:
2 That_the_aged_men 'be sober, grave, dtemperate, }+sound in faith, in l«charity, in patience.
8 The aged_women likewise, that they be in behaviour as_becometh_ holiness, not false_accusers, not e“given to-much wine, teachers_of_good_things ;
4 That they_may_teach the young. women to_be_sober, to love_their_hus- bands, to love_their_children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers_at_ home, good, +obedient to_-their_own husbands, that the word of_-God be not blasphemed.
6 y-Young_men likewise 'exhort to_ be_@ sober_minded.
7 In all_things pshewing thyself a pattern of_good works: in «doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, ‘sin- cerity,
8 hSound speech, that_ cannot _be_ condemned ; that_he_that-is of the con- trary_part *may_be_ashamed, having no evil_thing to_say of you.
° Exhort bservants to-be_obedient ~
unto_their_own «masters, and toto_ please_them_well in =all things; not answering_again ;
10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they.may_adorn the doctrine of_God our “Saviour in all_things.
11 For the grace of_-God that bring- eth _ salvation hath appeared to _ all men,
22° Teaching us that, -denying|%
-ungodliness and -worldly lusts, we_ should _live @soberly, ,« righteously, and godly, in this -present « world ;
18 Looking _ for that -blessed hope, and the «p glorious a of_the great God and our viour Jesus Christ ;
14 Who gave Himself for us, that He_ ‘might_redeem us from ~-all !-iniquity, and purify unto_ Himself a peculiar people, zealous of_good works.
15 These_things 'speak, and ‘exhort, and 'rebuke with all im authority. no_-2 man despise thee.

obey_magistrates, to_be good work,
2 To_speak_evil_of »no_man, to_be no_brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

14 Seeing then that_we_have a great high_priest, “that_is_r passed_into the heavens, Jesus the Son of_-God, 'let_us_ hold_fast owr ¢ «profession. *
15 For we_have not a high_priest n4which_cannot be_touched_with_the_ feeling_of our cinfirmities; but “was in all_points tempted like as we are, yet «without sin.
16 'Let_us therefore come boldly unto_ the throne of_-grace, that we_may_ obtain mercy and «find grace to help
in_time_of_need.
5 FOR every high_priest, +taken from_ among men, is_¢ ordained for men

sins:
24Who_can have_compassion on_the +ignorant, and +on_them_that_are_out_ of_the_way; for_that he_himself also is_compassed with_infirmity.
8 And by_reason hereof he_ought, ¢ as for the people, so also for himself, to_ offer for sins.
* And no oman taketh this “honour unto_himself, but ~he_that is_called 6 of “God, as .« was “Aaron.
5 So also «Christ glorified not Him- self to_-be_made a high_priest; but He-_that -4said unto Him,
“Thon ART My SON, TO_DAY HAVE E BEGOTTEN THEE.”
6 As He-_saith also in another place, “Thou art a PRIEST “ FOR “EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF_% MELCHISEDEC.”
7 Who in the days of_His -flesh, -swhen_He_had_offered_up 0 prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears, unto -+Him_that was_able to_save Him from death, and -+was_ heard /in_that He_feared:
8Though +He_were a Son, yet learned_ He - obedience by the_things_which He_ suffered ;
9 And -sbeing_made_perfect, He_be- came the author of_eternal salvation unto_all -4them_that obey Him;

10 For -God is not unrighteous to_} ing. ‘forget your-work and -labour of -love, which ye_have_shewed toward His rname, *+in_that_ye_have_ministered to_the saints, and +do_minister.

122 That ye_-be not slothful, but fol- lowers of_them_who through faith and patience +inherit the promises,
13 For «when *God made_promise to_ -Abraham, because He_~could swear by no greater, He_sware by Himself,
14 Saying, “SURELY BLESSING I_WILL_
BLESS THEE, AND MULTIPLYING I_WILL_ MULTIPLY THEE.”
15 And so, «after_he_had_patiently_ endured, he_obtained the promise.
16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an roath for confirmation is to. them an end of_all g strife.
17 Wherein God, willing more_abun- dantly to_*shew unto_the heirs of_-pro- mise the immutability of His -counsel, ‘confirmed it by_an_oath :

8 Without _ father, without _mother, without_¢ descent, having neither be- ginning of_days, nor end of_life; but “made _like unto_the Son of_-God; abideth a priest ‘continually.
4 Now 'consider how_great this man was, unto_whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the 4 spoils.
5 And verily they_that_are of the sons of_Levi, +who_receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to_ take_tithes_of the people according_to the law, that_is, of_their ~brethren, though “they_come out_of the loins of_ Abraham ;
6 But he_whose gdescent_is not counted from them ‘received_tithes_ of “Abraham, and “blessed +him_that had the promises.
7 And without all contradiction the less is_blessed 4y of the better.
8 And here ,imen +that_die receive tithes; but there he_receiveth_them_ of whom _it_+is_witnessed that he_ liveth.
9 And as I_may so say, Levi also, eswho receiveth tithes, “payed_tithes thin Abraham.
10 For he_“was yet in the loins of he efather, when ™=-Melchisedec met
im.
111f , therefore perfection “were tl by the Levitical priesthood, (for «p under it the people +''received_the_law,) what further need was there that_¢ another priest should_rise after the order of_ m Melchisedec, and not be_called after the order of_Aaron ?
22 Wor the priesthood being_changed, there_is_made of necessity a change also of_the_law.
13 For He of whom these_things are_ spoken “pertaineth_to ¢another tribe, J of which »no_man *gaye_attendance_ at the altar,
14 For it is evident that our ~Lord ‘sprang out_of j Juda; ‘of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priest- hood,
15 And it_is yet far_more evident : for_ that after the similitude of.” Melchise- dee there_ariseth 4 another priest,
16 Who “is_made, not after the law of_ a_carnal commandment, but after the power of_an_i endless life.
VW For He-testifieth, “Thou art a PRIEST “FOR EVER “c AFTER THE ORDER OF ™ MELCHISEDEC.”
18 For there vis verily a disannulling of _the_ commandment going _ before ve for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof ;
19 (For the law made nothing perfect,) but the bringing_in of a better hope (did); thby the which we_draw_nigh unto_-God.
20 And inasmuch as not without ¢an_ oath He was made priest :
21 (For those priests '“were_made without oan_oath ; but ’ this with oan_ oath by -+Him_that said unto Him,
“I The LORD SWARE AND WILL NOT
REPENT,
‘Chou art @ PRIEST “FOR “EVER

23 And they truly '“were many priests, |5,"°p)
because -'they_were_not_suffered to_ continue by_reason_of death :
24 But } this man, because He ~'con- tinueth « ever, hath an vu» unchangeable -priesthood.
2 Wherefore He_is_able also to_save -sthem coto the uttermost that_come unto_-God ‘by Him, seeing He ever sliveth to “make-_intercession for them.
26 For such a high_priest became us, who is vholy, harmless, undefiled, “separate from ssinners, and made Ene than_the heayens ;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those chigh_priests, to_offer_up =sacrifice, first for ‘his_own sins, and then for the people’s: for this He-_did nonce, «zwhen_He_offered_up Himself.
28 For the law «maketh men high_ priests +which_have infirmity ; but the word of_the o oath which was since the law, maketh the Son, “who_is_pe con- secrated for “evermore.
NOW of =the_things_which we_ 8 have_spoken this is the ssum: We_ have such a high_priest, who -is_set on the right-hand of_the throne of_the Majesty in the heavens ;
2 A pminister of_the =sanctuary, and of_the true -tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high_priest is_« ordained to offer .> gifts and sacrifices: where- fore it is of_necessity that_this man have somewhat also to_-offer.
4 For if »?He_“were on earth, He_ ~should « not be a priest, +seeing that_ there_are priests «that offer gifts according_to the law :
5 Who rserye unto_the_s example and shadow of_~heavenly_things, «cas Moses “was admonished _of_God +when_he_ was_about ‘to_make the tabernacle: for, “ISEE,” -saith_He, “that THOU_*MAKE ALL_THINGS ACCORDING_TO THE PATTERN *4SHEWED TO_THEE IN THE MOUNT.”
6 But now hath_He_obtained a more_ excellent » ministry, by_-how_-much also He_is the mediator of_a_better covye- nant, which ‘“was_e¢ established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant ~had_ been faultless, then ~should no place haye_been_sought for_the second,
8 For finding_fault, ¢ with_them, He_ saith, “ BEHOLD, the DAYS COME, SAITH J the

13 In that He-saith, “A NEW cove- nant,” He_hath_made the first old. Now =4that_which decayeth and +wax- eth old is ready to_vanish_away.
9 THEN verily the first covenant “had also ordinances of_divine_service, and a -worldly sanctuary.
2 For there_was a tabernacle made;
"| the first, wherein was ,» the /« candle-
stick, and the table, and the sshow- bread; which is_called / the sanctuary. 3 And after the second veil, the taber- nacle which is_called the ho=Holiest of_=all ; 4.Which_had the golden censer, and the ark of_the covenant “overlaid _
:|round about with_gold, wherein was '|the golden pot +that_had -manna, and
Aaron’s crod that -budded, and the tables of_the covenant;
5 And over it the cherubims of_glory shadowing the » mercy-seat ; of =which iwe_cannot now speak ‘ particularly.
6 Now “when these_things were thus ordained, the priests 'went ,‘always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the =service of God.
7 But into the second went the high_ priest alone once ‘every year, not with- out blood, which he_offered for himself, and for the s errors of_the people:
8 The Holy -Ghost this signifyin,
that_the way into_the =holiest of all ‘was not_yet made_manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet ,'stand- ing: ° Which was a pfigure for fhe time -“then_present, in which 'were_offered both gifts and sacrifices, +that_could not ‘make -him_that did_the_service perfect, as _ pertaining _ to the con- science ;
10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers ® washings, and carnal ordinances, +imposed on them until the time of_r reformation.
11 But Christ being_come a high_ priest of good_things ~to_come, ‘by a rgreater and more_perfect tabernacle,
Hesrews IX. 28.
not made_with_hands, that is to say, not of_this ¢ -building ; °
12 Neither ¢ by the blood of_goats and calves, but ‘by -His_own blood He_ entered_in ° once into the =holy_place, having - obtained eternal redemption
‘or Us.)
13 For if the blood of_bulls and of_ goats, and the ashes of_a_heifer sprink- ling the @“=unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of_the flesh ;
14 How_much more shall the blood of _-Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without_spot to_
od, purge your rconscience from dead works to sserve the living God?
15 And for this cause He_is the me- diator of_the_new cotestament, that «by_means of_death, for the redemp- tion of_the transgressions that were under the first cotestament, they_which “are_called -:might_receive the promise of_-eternal inheritance,
16 For where a co testament is, there_ must_also_of_necessity be the death of_ the testator.*
17 For a co testament is of_force after men_are_dead: otherwise it_is_of no strength at_all while the testator liveth.*
18 Whereupon neither the first co testa- ment “was_dedicated without blood.
19 For -swhen Moses had _ spoken every precept to_all the people accord- ing_to the law, he_took the blood of_ realves and’ of_goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book .‘, and all the people,
20 Saying, “THis 7s THE BLOOD OF_THE cOTESTAMENT WHICH *Gop hath EN- JOINED UNTO YOU,”
21 Moreover he-sprinkled likewise with -blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of_the » ministry.
2 And almost all_things are acby the law purged with blood; and « without shedding_of_blood is no remission.
23 Jt was therefore necessary ,i that_ the s patterns of_things in the heavens should_be_purified with_these; but the heavenly_things themselves with_better sacrifices than these.
% For «Christ ¢-is not entered into the =holy places made-with _ hands, which are the Ufigures of_the =true; but into heaven itself, now to_*appear in_the presence of_-God for us:
2 Nor_yet that He _'should _ offer | 25. Lev. xvi. _
Himself often, as the high_priest enter-
eth into the =holy place yevery year],
with blood of_others ;
26 For_then ~must He often “have_ suffered since the foundation of_the_ w world: but now eonce o#in the «end of_the «g=world hath-He_appeared, to pa sin ‘hby the sacrifice of _Him- self.
27 And ‘as it_is_appointed unto_-men | 27.

* v.16,17. The Hebrew word “‘berith,” is “covenant.” The Greek word “ diathéké,” is “ testa-

read thus: ‘For
where a covenantds, there_must_aZso_of necessity be-brought-in the death of_the covenant-victim.
For a covenant és stable over the dead: othe victim liveth.”
it-is-of no strength at-all while the coyenant_

1 FOR the law having a shadow of_ 0 good_things =to_come, and not the very image of_the /things, can never w with «those sacrifices which they_'of- fered year by year ‘continually make athe comers_thereunto perfect.
2 For_then-would_they not have_ceas- ed +to_be_offered? because that ~the worshippers °once “purged should_have had no ! more conscience of_sins.

1 NOW faith is the «substance of_ 4things_hoped_for, the evidence of_things not 4seen.
2 For by it the elders o obtained_a_ good_report.
3Through_faith we_understand that_ the wworlds “were_framed by _the_ sword of_God, so that ~things_which are_seen “were not made of -things_ which_do_appear.
4 By_faith Abel offered unto_-God a more_excellent sacrifice than Cain, ‘by which he_obtained_witness that_he_was righteous, ~God testifying o/of his egifts: and ¢by it he_’-sbeing_dead yet speaketh. :
5 By - faith Enoch was _ translated «that_he_should not see death; and was not found, because -God had translated him: for before his -trans- lation he_“had_this_testimony, “that_ he_pleased -God.
6 But « without faith 7t 7s impossible to_please Him : for +he_that cometh to_-God must believe that He_is, and that He_b is a rewarder of_-them_that diligently_seek Him.
7 By-faith Noah, being_warned_of_ God of things not seen as_yet,-smoved_ with_g fear, prepared an ark to the say- ing of_his “house ; ‘by the which he_ condemned the world, and became heir of _ the = righteousness which -is «ac by faith.
8 By_faith Abraham, +when_he_was_ called to_*go_out into a «place which he_h ~should.after receive for an in- heritance, obeyed; and he_went_out, not knowing whither he_'went.
9 By_faith he_sojourned in the land of_-promise, as im a strange_country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs_with_him of_the same «promise :
10 For he_~looked_for @ «city +which_ hath -foundations, whose builder and ar maker ts -God.
1 Through-faith also sSara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was _delivered_of_a_child when_she_ was_past age, because she_judged Him faithful who *shad_promised.
12 Therefore sprang there even J of one,and him “as_good_as_dead,somany as the stars of_the ’ sky in_“multitude, and as the sand which_is by the sea -shore innumerable.
13 These all died ac in faith, not having_ received the promises, but having_seen them afar_off, and »+were_persuaded_of them,and -sembraced them, and -+con- fessed that they_'were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For -they_that say such_things m declare _ plainly that they_seek a n country.
1s And truly, if they _ “had _ been_ mindful of_that country from whence they_came_out, they_~might_have_had opportunity to_-have_returned.
16 But now they_desire a_ better country, that is, a heavenly : wherefore -God is not ashamed to_be_called their God : for He_hath_prepared for_them a city.
17 By_faith Abraham, +when_he_was_ tried, -offered_up - Isaac: and he_that
Hesrews XI.
-thad_received the promises w ~offered_ up his -only_begotten eam,
18 «Of whom it_was_said, That “in ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE_CALLED :”
19 -sAccounting that -God was able) >" to_raise_him_up, even from the =dead ;| ¢. from_whence he_rreceived him in a figure.
20 By _ faith Isaac blessed -Jacob and -Esau concerning -things _ to _ come.
21 By_faith Jacob, +when_-he_was_a_ dying, blessed both the sons of_Joseph ; and worshipped, Jeaning upon the top of_his «staff.
2 By_faith Joseph, +when_he_died, made_mention of the departing of_the sochildren of_Israél; and gave_com-| "54 95, mandment concerning his “bones.
2% By-_faith Moses, »+when_he_was_ born, was_hid three_months ¥of his -parents, because they_saw he was a coproper «child; and they_were not afraid_of the king’s ¢ commandment.
24 By_faith Moses, «+when_he_was_ come g to_years, refused to_be_called the son of_Pharaoh’s daughter ;
2 «Choosing rather to_suffer_afflic- tion_with the people of_-God, than to_ henjoy the e-pleasures of_sin for_a_ season ; : i
26 «1 Esteeming the reproach of_-Christ greater riches than_the treasures in j
:
Egypt: for he_w “had_respect unto the recompence_of_the_reward. ;
27 By-faith he_ forsook Egypt, not} 97. «fearing the wrath of_the king: for he_| 29; 12. 31, endured, as seeing ‘Him_who-_is «in- visible.
23 Through_faith he_“kept the pass- over, and the sprinkling of_-blood, lest -1He _that destroyed the =firstborn sshould_touch them.
29 By_faith they_passed_through the nes see as by Bape que the
gyptians -+assaying_to_do were _|s- s drowned. Ms Re

88 (Of _whom the world “was not worthy :) +they_wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and im dens an ecayes of_the earth. /
39 And these =all, ihaying_obtained_ a_good_report through -faith, received not the promise:
40 -God having — fo provided some better_thing for us, that they «without us ‘should not be_made_perfect.
WHEREFORE seeing we also
sare 4compassed_about_with so_ great acloud of_t witnesses, -4let_us_lay_ aside every weight, and the sin which doth_so_easily_beset ws, and 'let_us_ run with e patience the race that is_ set_before us,
2 1Looking unto Jesus the cauthor and p finisher of [ow7'] joy that was_set_before Him, endured the cross, +despising the shame, and -is_ set.down at the right-hand of_the throne of_-God.
3 For -consider Him_that “endured such contradiction / of_-sinners against Himself, lest ye_-be_wearied and +faint in_your s minds.
4 Ye -have not yet resisted unto blood, striving_against sin.
5 And ye_have_4 forgotten the exhor- tation which speaketh unto_you as un- to_so children,
“My Son, ™'DESPISE NoT THOU the dd CHASTENING OF_! the_Lorp,
Nor 'FAINT +WHEN_THOU_ART_RE- BUKED 0 oF Him:
6 For wom /the Lorp LovETH HE_
di CHASTENETH,
AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE_RECEIVETH.”
7 If ye_endure “chastening, ~God dealeth with_you as with_sons; for what son is_he whom the father @ chas- teneth not?
8 But if ye_be without ¢chastisement, whereof all ? “are partakers, then are_ ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore «i we _-have _had_ fa- thers us, and we-_~gave _ them _reverence : shall_we not much rather be_in_sub- jection unto_the Father of_-spirits, and Flive ?
10 For they verily for a few days dis-chastened us «after their own «pleasure; but He for owr profit, that -we might _be_partakers of _ His rholiness,
11 Now no @chastening «‘ for the pre- sent seemeth to_be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it_yieldeth the peaceable -fruit of_righteousness unto_ them_which “are_exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore *lift_up the hands -zwhich hang_down, and the e“feeble knees ;
13 And «make straight
pares for_your feet, lest that_which-is
ame *be_turn-
be_healed.
14'Follow peace with all men, and choliness, «without which »no_man shall_see the Lord:
HEBREWS
15 Looking_diligently lest any man f+fail of the grace of_-God, “LEST ANY ROOT OF_BIPTERNESS SPRINGING UP ‘PROUBLE you,” and thereby many be_ defiled ;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or pro- fane_person, as Esau, who ‘for one mor- sel_of_meat sold his -=birthright.
7 For ye--know how-_that ,« after- ward, «when_he_would haye_inherited the blessing, he_was_rejected: for he_ found no place of_repentance, though he_sought it carefully with tears.
18 For ye_‘are not come_unto the
mount “that _might_be_touched, and that “burned with _fire, «nor unto_ blackness, and darkness, and tem- pest, 19 And the sound of_a_trumpet, and the voice of_swords; which voice they_ that «heard intreated that_the_word should not be_spoken to_them any_ more :
20 (For they_~could not endurethat_ which was_ commanded, “AND IF so much as A BEAST *TOUCH THE MOUN- TAIN, IT_SHALL_BE_STONED, OR THRUST_ THROUGH WITH_A_DART :”
21 And so terrible “was =the sight, that Moses said, “I exceedingly_fear and quake :”)
2 But ye_‘are_come_unto Mount

And unto _the_city of_the_living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,
And to_man_innumerable _com- pany of_angels,
23 a[to] The general_assembly,

And to_God the Judge of_=all,
And to_the_spirits of =just men “made_perfect,
24 And to_Jesus the mediator of_the_
new covenant,
And to _ the — blood of _ sprinkling, 4that speaketh better _ things than that of «Abel.
% 'See that_ye_-refuse not Him _ that speaketh. For if thep escaped not -+who_refused ~him_that ospake on -earth, much more shall not we escape, -4if_we turn_away_from ~+Him_ that speaketh from =heaven :
26 Whose ~voice then shook the earth: but now He_hath_promised, saying,
“YET ONCE more £ SHAKE NOT THE EARTH ONLY, BUT ALSO “HEA-
27 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_re- main.
28 Wherefore we_receiving a kingdom which_cannot_be_s moved, 'let_us_have grace, whereby we_-may-_serve -God ac- ceptably with reverence and godly fear: 2

1 For He_that «said, “*Do nor com- MIT_ADULTERY,” said also, “*Do Nor KILL.” Now if thou_tcommit no adul- tery, yetif_thou_tkill, thou_“art_become a transgressor of_the_law.
12 So 'speak_ye, and so 'do, as be athey_ that shall_be_judged by the law of_ liberty.
18 For he_shall_have ~judgment with- out_merey, that hath shewed no mercy ; and merey grejoiceth against judg- ment.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though «a_man say he _hath faith, and have not works? can rfaith save him?
15 ,.b1f a brother or sister be naked, and ‘destitute of_-daily food,
16 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 ?
17 Even so rfaith, if it-hath not works, is dead, 4 being alone.
18 ea_man *tmay_say, “Chow hast faith, and € have works: «shew me thy -faith «pwithout thy «works, and £ will shew thee my rfaith by my rworks.”
19 Thon believest ‘that there_is one -God; thou_doest well: the ¢ddevils also believe, and «tremble.
2% But 'wilt_thou know, O vain man, that faith «without works is dead ?
21 Was not Abraham our +father justified by works, when _he_had- offered Isaac his son upon the altar ?
2 'Seest_thou ‘how rfaith wrought_ with his -works, and by «works was -faith made_perfect ?
% And the scripture was _fulfilled eawhich saith, “,o ABRAHAM BELIEVED GoD, AND IT-WAS_” IMPUTED UNTO_-HIM “FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS:” and he_was_ called “the FRIEND OF_GoD.”
4 Ye_see then how that by works a man is_justified, and not by faith only.
2% ,b Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, -+when_she_ had_received the messengers, and -shad_ sent_them_out another way ?
%6 For as the body «without the spirit is dead, so -faith «without «works is dead also,
“MY brethren, be not many ‘masters, 3 “knowing that we_shall_receive ¢ greater Jj condemnation.
2 For in many_things we s offend all. If any man soffend not in word, the_ same 7s a perfect man, and able also to_-bridle the whole body.

4 Behold also the ships, +which _ though _they_be so_great, and are «driven /of fierce winds, yet_are_they_ turned_about / with a very_small helm, whithersoever ,/-+the st governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth _ great _ things. Behold, how_great a /matter a little fire kindleth !
6 And the tongue 7s a fire, a -world of_riniquity : so tis the tongue among our -members, ‘that_it defileth the whole body, and +setteth_on_fire the course of_enature ; and +it_is_set_on_ fire bof hell

5 But the tongue can no man stame ; it is an unruly evil, full of ¢deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless_we God, «even the Father; and therewith curse_we “men, which “are_made after the similitude of_God.

1 This -wisdom ‘descendeth not from_above, but is earthly, «¢sensual, de devilish.
16 For where envying and strife ix, there zs ‘confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that_is from_above is first ,.¢ pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy _to_be_intreated, full of_mercy and good fruits, without_partiality, and without_hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of_-righteousness is_ sown in peace /of_-them_that make

ings among you? come they not hence, even of your pelusts that war in your “members ?
