²¹ And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets,

²² and the righteousness of God `is' through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

²³ for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --

¹⁹ Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,

²⁰ being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner-`stone',

²¹ in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord,

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel,

⁴ Ye -- of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who `is' in you, than he who is in the world.

¹² `All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.

¹ Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;

⁹ Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous -- and saved is He, Afflicted -- and riding on an ass, And on a colt -- a son of she-asses.

²¹ all things prove; that which is good hold fast;

²² from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

²³ and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

²² And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

²³ `Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted `With us `he is' God.'

²⁴ And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,

⁷ For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed His counsel unto His servants the prophets.

²¹ for not by will of man did ever prophecy come, but by the Holy Spirit borne on holy men of God spake.

² and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

⁵ `Turn back, and thou hast said unto Hezekiah, leader of My people: Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I give healing to thee, on the third day thou dost go up to the house of Jehovah;

⁵ and they, having heard, were baptized -- to the name of the Lord Jesus,

⁶ and Paul having laid on them `his' hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying,

⁷ and all the men were, as it were, twelve.

¹⁵ `But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.
