Here's some info on the
613 commandments from the Torah. However, the 613 only cover the first 5 books
of the Bible, the Torah, but there are more commandments in the Writings
and the Prophets (another 34 OT books), besides what can be gleaned from
the lessons from all the stories (history), etc.
Here's some links:

Every commandment has a positive and
negative, and an external and internal component. I listed the 10
commandments from Exodus 20 here below and did a quick categorizing into their
Negative External (Nx), Negative Internal (Ni), Positive Internal (Pi),
and Positive External (Px) parts.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Exodus 20: And God
spake all these words, saying,
FIRST TABLET: 01-05
TOWARDS GOD
01 God (Authority)
Nx:FalseGods
Ni:HateGod Pi:LoveGod Px:Obedience
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the
land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou
shalt have no other gods before me.
02 Idolatry (Worship)
Nx:Idolatry Ni:Unfaithfulness Pi:Faithfulness Px:Worship
4 Thou shalt not make unto
thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation
of them that hate me; 6 And
shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
03 Swearing (Speech) Nx:Swearing
Ni:Sacrilege Pi:Reverence Px:Praise
7 Thou shalt not take the
name of the Lord thy God
in vain; for the Lord will not
hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
04 Sabbath (Sacrifice) Nx:NonObservant
Ni:Disrespectful Pi:SubmissionToGod Px:SabbathEtc
(This commandment includes
all temporal and amoral, vs. eternal and moral/immoral, commandments.)
8 Remember the sabbath day,
to keep it holy. 9 Six days
shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the
seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,
thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor
thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that
in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
SECOND TABLET: 06-10 TOWARDS MAN
05 Parents (Authority: Husband/Wife,
Parent/Child, Master/Servant, Ruler/Ruled) Nx:Disobedience Ni:Rebellion
Pi:SubmissionToMan Px:Obedience
(This commandment has a
promise of reward with it.)
12 Honour thy father and thy
mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
06 Murder (Violence)
Nx:Murder Ni:HateMan Pi:LoveMan Px:SacrificeSelf
13 Thou shalt not kill.
07 Adultery (Sex)
Nx:Adultery Ni:SexualLust Pi:PureThought Px:Virginity/Marriage
14 Thou shalt not commit
adultery.
08 Stealing (Property)
Nx:Stealing Ni:Covet Pi:Generousity Px:Giving
15 Thou shalt not steal.
09 Lying (Speech) Nx:Lying
Ni:Unbelief Pi:Faith Px:Testifying/Teaching
16 Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbour.
10
Coveting (Thoughts) Nx:Complaining Ni:Coveting Pi:Contentment Px:Rejoicing
(This is
an explicitly internal commandment.)
17 Thou
shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's
wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any
thing that is thy neighbour's.
Exodus then continues with “judgments.” They
can all be assigned to one of the 10 commandments.
Concerning Servants (05PX)
21 “Now these are the
judgments which you shall set before them:2 If you buy a
Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out
free and pay nothing. …
7 “And if a man sells his
daughter to be a female slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves
do. 8 If she does not please her master, who has
betrothed her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no
right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
...
Concerning Violence (06PX)
12 “He who strikes a man so
that he dies shall surely be put to death.13 However, if
he did not lie in wait, … then I will appoint for you a place where he may
flee. ...
15 “And he who strikes his
father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
16 “He who kidnaps a man and
sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall surely be put to death.
17 “And he who curses his
father or his mother shall surely be put to death. ...
22 “If men fight, and hurt a
woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he
shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and
he shall pay as the judges determine. 23 But
if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, 24 eye
for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn
for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Etc.
All the commandments in
the Bible are summarized in the 10 commandments: the others give more info
about and expand upon and apply them. Also, the 10 can be summarized in 2: Love
God and love man.
In this next section, I list (one listing of)
the 613 commandments in the 'chronological' order they are found in the
scripture, and I started to categorize them as to which of the Ten
Commandments they fall under. For example, Be fruitful and multiply (Gen.
1:28) probably falls under the positive external aspect of the 7th
commandment, Thou shalt not commit adultery, so I categorized it as

In addition to Yeshua’s teaching on the Law of Moses in places
like Mat 5-7, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matt+5-7&version=KJV,
there are also many New Testament commands in the Epistles, such as the
following:
1 Thessalonians 4-5
4 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the
Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please
God, so ye would abound more and more.
2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the
Lord Jesus.
3 For this is the will of God, even your
sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess
his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the
Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in
any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have
forewarned you and testified.
7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but
unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man,
but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that
I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren
which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more
and more;
11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your
own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are
without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
…
12 And we
beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in
the Lord, and admonish you;
13 And to
esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among
yourselves.
14 Now we
exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded,
support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15 See that
none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good,
both among yourselves, and to all men.
16 Rejoice
evermore.
17 Pray
without ceasing.
18 In every
thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench
not the Spirit.
20 Despise
not prophesyings.
21 Prove all
things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain
from all appearance of evil.
23 And the
very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and
soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful
is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25 Brethren,
pray for us.
26 Greet all
the brethren with an holy kiss.
27 I charge
you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28 The grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
2 Thessalonians 3
Now we command you,
brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves
from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which
he received of us.
7 For
yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves
disorderly among you;
8 Neither
did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail
night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9 Not
because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow
us.
10 For even
when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work,
neither should he eat.
11 For we
hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all,
but are busybodies.
12 Now them
that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with
quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13 But ye,
brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14 And if
any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company
with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet count
him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16 Now the
Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you
all.
Galatians 5 - 6
13 For,
brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an
occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 For all
the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.
15 But if ye
bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I
say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the
flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these
are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye
would.
18 But if ye
be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the
works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings,
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you
before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith,
23 Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they
that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we
live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us
not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
6 Brethren,
if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one
in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye
one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if a
man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 But let
every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself
alone, and not in another.
5 For every
man shall bear his own burden.
6 Let him
that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good
things.
7 Be not
deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap.
8 For he
that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth
to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let
us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint
not.
10 As we
have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them
who are of the household of faith.
Ephesians 4
4 I
therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the
vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all
lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring
to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is
one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord,
one faith, one baptism,
6 One God
and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto
every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore
he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts
unto men.
9 (Now that
he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts
of the earth?
10 He that
descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he
might fill all things.)
11 And he
gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers;
12 For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the
body of Christ:
13 Till we
all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we
henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every
wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they
lie in wait to deceive;
15 But
speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the
head, even Christ:
16 From whom
the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17 This I
say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other
Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having
the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the
ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 Who being
past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all
uncleanness with greediness.
20 But ye
have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be
that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye
put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be
renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that
ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true
holiness.
25 Wherefore
putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are
members one of another.
26 Be ye
angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither
give place to the devil.
28 Let him
that stole steal 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 needeth.
29 Let no
corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the
use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And
grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of
redemption.
31 Let all
bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away
from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye
kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for
Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
5 Be ye
therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk
in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an
offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But
fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named
among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither
filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but
rather giving of thanks.
5 For this
ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an
idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no
man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath
of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye
therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye
were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of
light:
9 (For the
fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving
what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have
no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is
a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all
things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth
make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore
he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall
give thee light.
15 See then
that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming
the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore
be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be
not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking
to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making
melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving
thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ;
21 Submitting
yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the
husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and
he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore
as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands
in every thing.
25 Husbands,
love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he
might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he
might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or
any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought
men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth
himself.
29 For no
man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the
Lord the church:
30 For we
are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this
cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his
wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a
great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless
let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the
wife see that she reverence her husband.
6 Children,
obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour
thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it
may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye
fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord.
5 Servants,
be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and
trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6 Not with
eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of
God from the heart;
7 With good
will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 Knowing
that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the
Lord, whether he be bond or free.
9 And, ye
masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that
your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
10 Finally,
my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on
the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil.
12 For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore
take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand
therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate
of righteousness;
15 And your
feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above
all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take
the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying
always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto
with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for
me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to
make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which
I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to
speak.
2 If there
be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship
of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye
my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of
one mind.
3 Let
nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each
esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not
every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this
mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who,
being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made
himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made
in the likeness of men:
8 And being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
…
14 Do all
things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye
may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of
a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding
forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have
not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
…
4 Therefore,
my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in
the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2 I beseech
Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 And I
intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in
the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names
are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice
in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your
moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be
careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the
peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.
9 Those
things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me,
do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Colossians 3 - 4
5 Mortify
therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which
things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the
which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now
ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy
communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not
one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have
put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that
created him:
11 Where
there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian,
Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing
one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any:
even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above
all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let
the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one
body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the
word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one
another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your
hearts to the Lord.
17 And
whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands,
love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children,
obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers,
provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants,
obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as
menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
23 And
whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing
that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve
the Lord Christ.
25 But he
that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is
no respect of persons.
4 Masters,
give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have
a Master in heaven.
2 Continue
in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Withal
praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak
the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
4 That I
may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in
wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Let your
speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought
to answer every man.
Romans 12
12 I beseech
you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be
not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of
God.
3 For I
say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to
think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly,
according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we
have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we,
being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having
then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether
prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or
ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he
that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity;
he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love
be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is
good.
10 Be kindly
affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one
another;
11 Not
slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing
in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing
to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless
them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice
with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the
same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of
low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense
to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be
possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly
beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is
written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore
if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing
thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not
overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
13 Let every
soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the
powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever
therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that
resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For
rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be
afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the
same:
4 For he is
the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be
afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a
revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore
ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for
this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending
continually upon this very thing.
7 Render
therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom
custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no
man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath
fulfilled the law.
9 For this,
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou
shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other
commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love
worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 And that,
knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is
our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night
is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of
darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us
walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering
and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put
ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil
the lusts thereof.
14 Him that
is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one
believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not
him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not
judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art
thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or
falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man
esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every
man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that
regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the
day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for
he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and
giveth God thanks.
7 For none
of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For
whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the
Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to
this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of
the dead and living.
10 But why
dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we
shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is
written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every
tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then
every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Let us
not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man
put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14 I know,
and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself:
but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 But if
thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy
not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16 Let not
then your good be evil spoken of:
17 For the
kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in
the Holy Ghost.
18 For he
that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Let us
therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith
one may edify another.
20 For meat
destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for
that man who eateth with offence.
21 It is
good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother
stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
22 Hast thou
faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself
in that thing which he alloweth.
23 And he
that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for
whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
15 We then
that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please
ourselves.
2 Let every
one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
3 For even
Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that
reproached thee fell on me.
4 For
whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we
through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
5 Now the God
of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another
according to Christ Jesus:
6 That ye
may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
7 Wherefore
receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
8 Now I say
that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to
confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
9 And that
the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause
I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
10 And again
he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11 And
again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
12 And
again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to
reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Now the
God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in
hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
14 And I
myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of
goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15 Nevertheless,
brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you
in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
16 That I
should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel
of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being
sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
17 I have
therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which
pertain to God.
18 For I
will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by
me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
19 Through
mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from
Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of
Christ.
20 Yea, so
have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should
build upon another man's foundation:
21 But as it
is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have
not heard shall understand.
22 For which
cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
23 But now
having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years
to come unto you;
24 Whensoever
I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my
journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat
filled with your company.
25 But now I
go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
26 For it
hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for
the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27 It hath
pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been
made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto
them in carnal things.
28 When
therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will
come by you into Spain.
Hebrews 12
12 Wherefore
seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us
lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us
run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the 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 minds.
4 Ye have
not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And ye
have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My
son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art
rebuked of him:
6 For whom
the Lord loveth he 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 chasteneth not?
8 But if ye
be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and
not sons.
9 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?
10 For they
verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our
profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no
chastening for the present 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 which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make
straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way;
but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow
peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking
diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness
springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest
there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat
sold his birthright.
17 For ye
know how that afterward, when he would have 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 tempest,
19 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:
20 (For they
could 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 dart:
21 And so
terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But ye
are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly
Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the
general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, 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, that
speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 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:
26 Whose
voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I
shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
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
remain.
28 Wherefore
we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may
serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our
God is a consuming fire.
13 Let
brotherly love continue.
2 Be not
forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels
unawares.
3 Remember
them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as
being yourselves also in the body.
4 Marriage
is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers
God will judge.
5 Let your
conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye
have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that
we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do
unto me.
7 Remember
them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God:
whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
1 James, a
servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are
scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My
brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing
this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let
patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting
nothing.
5 If any of
you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and
upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let
him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the
sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let
not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double
minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the
brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10 But the
rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass
away.
11 For the
sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the
flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also
shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12 Blessed
is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the
crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13 Let no
man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with
evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every
man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when
lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished,
bringeth forth death.
16 Do not
err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father
of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his
own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of
firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore,
my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to
wrath:
20 For the
wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore
lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with
meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye
doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if
any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding
his natural face in a glass:
24 For he
beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of
man he was.
25 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.
26 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.
27 Pure
religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the
fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from
the world.
2 My
brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with
respect of persons.
2 For if there
come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there
come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
3 And ye
have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou
here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under
my footstool:
4 Are ye
not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
5 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?
6 But ye
have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the
judgment seats?
7 Do not
they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
8 If ye
fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye
have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as
transgressors.
10 For
whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty
of all.
11 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.
12 So speak
ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 For he
shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy
rejoiceth against judgment.
14 What doth
it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can
faith save him?
15 If 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
faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a
man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy
works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou
believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and
tremble.
20 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?
22 Seest
thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the
scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed
unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see
then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise
also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the
messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as
the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
3 My
brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater
condemnation.
2 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.
3 Behold,
we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about
their 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 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 is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that
it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is
set on fire of hell.
7 For every
kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is
tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the
tongue can no man tame; 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.
10 Out of
the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought
not so to be.
11 Doth a
fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the
fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no
fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Who is a
wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good
conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye
have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against
the truth.
15 This
wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where
envying and strife is, there is 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 peace.
3 My
brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater
condemnation.
2 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.
3 Behold,
we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about
their 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 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 is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that
it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is
set on fire of hell.

9 Therewith
bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after

4 From
whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your
lusts that war in your members?
2 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.
3 Ye ask,
and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4 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.
5 Do ye
think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth
to envy?
6 But he
giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth
grace unto the humble.
7 Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh
to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and
purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be
afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and
your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble
yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
11 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.
12 There is
one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest
another?
13 Go to
now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue
there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
14 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.
15 For that
ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16 But now
ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
17 Therefore
to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
5 Go to
now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your
riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold
and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you,
and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for
the last days.
4 Behold,
the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you
kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered
into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Ye have
lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts,
as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have
condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
7 Be
patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the
husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience
for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8 Be ye
also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
9 Grudge
not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge
standeth before the door.
10 Take, my
brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example
of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Behold,
we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and
have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender
mercy.
12 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.
13 Is any
among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 Is any
sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray
over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the
prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he
have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess
your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 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.
18 And he
prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
19 Brethren,
if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 Let him
know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save
a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 1
13 Wherefore
gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace
that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As
obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in
your ignorance:
15 But as he
which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because
it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17 And if ye
call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every
man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 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;
19 But with
the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who
verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in
these last times for you,
21 Who by
him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory;
that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing ye
have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned
love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Being
born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God,
which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all
flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass
withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the
word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is
preached unto you.
2 Wherefore
laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all
evil speakings,
2 As
newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 If so be
ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 To whom
coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God,
and precious,
5 Ye also,
as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer
up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 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.
7 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,
8 And a
stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the
word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye
are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light;
10 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.
11 Dearly
beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts,
which war against the soul;
12 Having
your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against
you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify
God in the day of visitation.
13 Submit
yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the
king, as supreme;
14 Or unto
governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers,
and for the praise of them that do well.
15 For so is
the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of
foolish men:
16 As free,
and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of
God.
17 Honour
all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18 Servants,
be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but
also to the froward.
19 For this
is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering
wrongfully.
20 For what
glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it
patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently,
this is acceptable with God.
21 For even
hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an
example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Who did
no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when
he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but
committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24 Who his
own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to
sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye
were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop
of your souls.
3 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;
2 While
they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
3 Whose
adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of
wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4 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.
5 For after
this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned
themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
6 Even as
Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do
well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
7 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.
8 Finally,
be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be
pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not
rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing;
knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 For he
that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil,
and his lips that they speak no guile:
11 Let him
eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
12 For the
eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their
prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
13 And who
is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
14 But and
if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their
terror, neither be troubled;
15 But
sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and
fear:
16 Having a
good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they
may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
17 For it is
better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil
doing.
18 For
Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might
bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which
also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which
sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the
days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls
were saved by water.
21 The like
figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of
the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ:
22 Who is
gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and
powers being made subject unto him.
4 Forasmuch
then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with
the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 That he
no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men,
but to the will of God.
3 For the
time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles,
when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings,
banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4 Wherein
they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot,
speaking evil of you:
5 Who shall
give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6 For for
this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might
be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the
spirit.
7 But the end
of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8 And above
all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the
multitude of sins.
9 Use
hospitality one to another without grudging.
10 As every
man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good
stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If any
man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do
it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified
through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
12 Beloved,
think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though
some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But
rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his
glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If ye be
reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of
God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he
is glorified.
15 But let
none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a
busybody in other men's matters.
16 Yet if
any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God
on this behalf.
17 For the
time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first
begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if
the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore
let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their
souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
5 The
elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the
sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2 Feed the
flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by
constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3 Neither
as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
4 And when
the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth
not away.
5 Likewise,
ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to
another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth
grace to the humble.
6 Humble
yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due
time:
7 Casting
all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober,
be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom
resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are
accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the
God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus,
after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen,
settle you.
2 Peter 1
3 According
as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue:
4 Whereby
are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might
be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the
world through lust.
5 And
beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue
knowledge;
6 And to
knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to
godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if
these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be
barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he
that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten
that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore
the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure:
for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
1 John 2
3 And
hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that
saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth
is not in him.
5 But whoso
keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we
that we are in him.
6 He that
saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 Brethren,
I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from
the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the
beginning.
8 Again, a
new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you:
because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 He that
saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until
now.
10 He that
loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of
stumbling in him.
11 But he
that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth
not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write
unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's
sake.
13 I write
unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I
write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write
unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 I have written
unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have
written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth
in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love not
the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all
that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the
world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God
abideth for ever.
