Cursed is every man that continues not in all the words of this law, to do them. And all the people shall say, So be it.

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all Your commandments.

Therefore I directed myself [according] to all Your commandments; I have hated every unjust way.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."

But the law is not of faith, but "the man who does them shall live by them."

For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one [point], he has become guilty of all.

For He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "You shall not murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but [yet] you murder, [then] you have become a transgressor of the law.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the more important [things] of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These things you should have done, and not have neglected the others.

Every word that I command you this day, you shall observe to do: you shall not add to it, nor diminish from it.

But woe to you Pharisees! Because you pay a tithe of mint and rue and every vegetable, and you pass over justice and the love of God. These things you ought to have done, without leaving the others [undone].

He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God on account of your tradition?

But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "[It is] a gift [to God], whatever profit you might have received from me"--

Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, is obligated.'

And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, is obligated.'

Therefore he that swears by the altar, swears by it and by all the things on it.

And he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.

But you have turned aside from the way, and caused many to fail in [following] the law: you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the Lord Almighty.

And I have made you despised and cast out among all the people, because you have not kept My ways, but have been partial in the law.

And why not say, "Let us do evil so that good may come"?--just as we are slandered, and just as some affirm that we say. [The] judgment of whom is just.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

If anyone teaches differently and does not consent to sound words, even those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness,

he is puffed up, understanding nothing, but [is] morbidly concerned with disputes and word battles, from which come envy, strife, slanders, evil suspicions,

But I have a few things against you, because you have there [some] who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, both to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.

Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, [which] likewise [I hate].

But I have [this] against you, that you tolerate your wife Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed to idols.

"Assuredly I say to you, among [those] born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: I said, Your house and the house of your father shall pass before Me forever: but now the Lord says, Far be it from Me; for I will only honor them that honor Me, and he that despises Me shall be despised.

teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

The former account I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, which Jesus began both to do and teach,

Owe nothing to no one, except to love one another, for he who loves one another has fulfilled the law.

Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, in [this]: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall by no means fulfill the lust of the flesh.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

Be fellow imitators of me, brothers, and look out for those walking this way, just as you have us for a pattern.

For many walk, of whom often I was speaking to you, and now even weeping I tell you, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Finally, brothers, as many things as are true, as many as are honorable, as many as are just, as many as are pure, as many as are lovely--if there is any virtue and if there is any praise--meditate on these things.

The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice these things; and the God of peace shall be with you.

You are witnesses, and [so is] God, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we were to you that believe;

that you would make your walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

Finally then, brothers, we request of you and exhort [you] in the Lord Jesus, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you should abound more.

For this is [the] will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from fornication,

not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God,

For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.

These things command and teach.

Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but [rather] become a pattern for the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

You however, O man of God, flee these things. But pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.

sound speech that cannot be condemned, in order that the [one] who is an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

not embezzling, but showing good faith, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

Faithful is this word, and concerning these things I want you to strongly affirm, so that those who have believed in God may take thought to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the Regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, shall be your servant.

And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and [some] of the many righteous as the stars forever and ever.

For he shall be great before the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, while still in his mother's womb.

and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all shall be great."

And there became also a dispute among them, [as to] which of them seemed to be greater.

But you [shall] not [be] thus; but let the greatest among you, let him be as the youngest, and he who leads as he who serves.

And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
