in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and without blemish, and above reproach in His sight;

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.

who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His possession, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands,

as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the full true knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, supply with your faith virtue, with virtue knowledge,

with godliness brotherly affection, and with brotherly affection love.

For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his sins of the past.

Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!

For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold fast to the origin of our Foundation steadfast to the end,

And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,

For it seemed good to them, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, it is also their duty to minister to them in carnal things.

Now this I do through the gospel, that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.

And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the comfort.

that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and joint partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;

And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory about to be revealed:

by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;

to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

whom He also called, not only of us Jews, but also of the Gentiles?

to the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

that you would walk worthily of God who calls you into His kingdom and glory.

Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make sure of your calling and election, for if you do these things you will not ever stumble;

1 Epistle of JUDAS 0 -the VW-edition name as properly derived from the Greek (Ioudass) Judas, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of Jacob, to those who are called, set apart by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:

These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, elect, and faithful.

The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's manger, but Israel does not know; My people have not discerned.

And the lute, and the harp, the tambourine, and pipe, and wine, are at their feasts; but they do not regard the work of Jehovah, neither do they give attention to the work of His hands.

that they may see and know, and determine and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

Therefore, son of man, prepare your belongings for exile, and go into exile by day in their sight. You shall go from your place into exile to another place in their sight. It may be that they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

Because he considers and turns away from all the transgressions which he had done, he shall live life; he shall not die.

And now, thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Set your heart on your ways.

And now set your heart on it, from this day and onward: before the placing of a stone on a stone in the temple of Jehovah;

Then He said to Thomas, Bring your finger here, and look at My hands; and bring your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.

Consider what I say, and the Lord will give you understanding in all things.

So Jesus said to them again, Peace to you. As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.

Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises unto the fathers,

Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in the things pertaining to God, in order to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: You are My Son, today I have begotten You.

who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who had the power to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,

And having been found perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;

Now this is the main point of the things being said: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer.

But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

and having a High Priest over the house of God,

Jehovah has sworn and will not regret it: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
