¹⁰ to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God,

¹³ for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

¹⁷ so that if any one `is' in Christ -- `he is' a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

²¹ make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom `is' the glory -- to the ages of the ages! Amen.

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

⁸ Stedfast `is' the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works -- who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men,

¹⁴ and let them learn -- ours also -- to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

²¹ if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master -- to every good work having been prepared,

¹² having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.

⁷ concerning all things thyself showing a pattern of good works; in the teaching uncorruptedness, gravity, incorruptibility,

²¹ but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'

²¹ This people I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.

³³ For this `is' the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a people.

¹⁸ to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,

⁶ He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.

²⁴ and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,

¹ Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rule, unto every good work to be ready,

²⁵ in like manner also the right works are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid.

¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.

⁷ and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;

²³ For in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in his midst, They sanctify My name, And have sanctified the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel they declare fearful.

²¹ Remember these, O Jacob, and Israel, For My servant thou `art', I formed thee, a servant to Me thou `art', O Israel, thou dost not forget Me.

²¹ And thy people `are' all of them righteous, To the age they possess the earth, A branch of My planting, A work of My hands, to be beautified.

³ To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, `Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah -- to be beautified.'

⁹ for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.

¹⁰ A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.

⁸ Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness `is' to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!

³³ in all the way which Jehovah your God hath commanded you ye walk, so that ye live, and `it is' well with you, and ye have prolonged days in the land which ye possess.

²⁵ In that Jehovah of Hosts did bless it, saying, `Blessed `is' My people -- Egypt, And the work of My hands -- Asshur, And Mine inheritance -- Israel!'

³⁹ and I have given to them one heart, and one way, to fear Me all the days, for good to them, and to their sons after them:

⁴⁰ and I have made for them a covenant age-during, in that I turn not back from after them for My doing them good, and My fear I put in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me;

¹⁶ so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who `is' in the heavens.

³ Jesus answered and said to him, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;'

¹⁰ in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;

⁵ And He who did work us to this self-same thing `is' God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

⁶ To Jehovah do ye act thus, O people foolish and not wise? Is not He thy father -- thy possessor? He made thee, and doth establish thee.
