Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

Again, do you think that we defend ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ. But we do all things, beloved, for your edification.

Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, beloved.

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow laborer,

And all who dwell on the earth will do homage to him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, prostitutes, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

But outside are dogs and sorcerers and prostitutes and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and produces a lie.
