³⁰ Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:

²⁵ And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that should be written.

³ it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus;

⁴ that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed.

¹¹ This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

⁴ For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.

¹¹ Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

¹⁵ And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶ Every scripture inspired of God `is' also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.

¹⁷ That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.

¹ This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance;

² that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandments of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles:

³ that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ:

⁴ and these things we write, that our joy may be made full.

¹³ These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, `even' unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God.
