²² Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

⁹ knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.

⁸ and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹ But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

¹⁰ And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

⁸ Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,

⁹ whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you.

¹³ Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion `endureth' throughout all generations.

²⁴ Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain.

²⁵ And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they `do it' to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

²⁶ I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air:

²⁷ but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

²⁰ For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

²¹ who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, `that it may be' conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.

⁷ For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.

² It hath seemed good unto me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me.

³ How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

⁴ I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

¹³ I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

¹⁴ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

¹⁵ As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

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 they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.

⁷ But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:

¹⁹ In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

¹¹ A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.

⁴ that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

⁵ not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;

⁶ that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

⁵ Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in `your' virtue knowledge;

⁶ and in `your' knowledge self-control; and in `your' self-control patience; and in `your' patience godliness;

⁷ and in `your' godliness brotherly kindness; and in `your' brotherly kindness love.

⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶ For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.

⁸ The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

²⁸ He whose spirit is without restraint Is `like' a city that is broken down and without walls.

² Dominion and fear are with him; He maketh peace in his high places.

¹³ who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

¹⁴ in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

⁹ But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

³² He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly `places',

²¹ far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

²² and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

¹¹ For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

¹² instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;

¹³ looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

¹ Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

² that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

³ For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:

⁴ wherein they think strange that ye run not with `them' into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of `of':

⁵ who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.

⁶ For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

²² For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

²³ But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ's, at his coming.

²⁴ Then `cometh' the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

²⁵ For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.

²⁶ The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.

¹³ There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.
