¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:

¹ Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

¹⁵ but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;

¹⁶ because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.

¹¹ Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

¹¹ And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

⁷ For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

²² But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

¹⁹ So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.

⁵ For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

¹¹ He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy still.

¹² Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is.

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have the right `to come' to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

¹⁵ Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

¹ Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hold of the pit whence ye were digged.

²⁶ And after my skin, `even' this `body', is destroyed, Then without my flesh shall I see God;

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.

⁵⁰ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.

¹⁸ If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.

¹¹ But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

¹⁰ For they indeed for a few days chastened `us' as seemed good to them; but he for `our' profit, that `we' may be partakers of his holiness.

¹³ And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?

¹¹ Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in `all' holy living and godliness,

³ And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants shall serve him;

⁴ and they shall see his face; and his name `shall be' on their foreheads.

²⁰ They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²³ meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.

²⁴ And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.

²⁵ And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):

²⁶ and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it:

²⁷ and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb's book of life.

² Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.

³ And every one that hath this hope `set' on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him `be' the glory both now and for ever. Amen.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.

²² after righteousness, faith, love, pace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

⁷ When a man's ways please Jehovah, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

¹ A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger.

¹ Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

⁶ My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.

¹⁵ For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

¹⁴ Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.

²⁶ He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.

³⁰ And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, `said he', I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

¹⁴ The beginning of strife is `as' when one letteth out water: Therefore leave off contention, before there is quarrelling.

⁶ And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

⁷ And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

⁸ And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.

⁹ They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.

⁷⁵ In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

¹⁵ See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.

¹³ to the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

¹² Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.

¹ I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,

² with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

³ giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

⁴ `There is' one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.

⁷ But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

⁸ Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.

²¹ Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law.

¹⁷ Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,

¹² For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.

¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing and `that' there be no divisions among you; but `that' ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

⁷ And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

⁸ And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren.

⁹ Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me. If `thou wilt take' the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if `thou take' the right hand, then I will go to the left.
