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

To Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

THE ELDER, To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,

"Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'The fast of the fourth [month,] The fast of the fifth, The fast of the seventh, And the fast of the tenth, Shall be joy and gladness and cheerful feasts For the house of Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.'

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
