²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain `is', but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.

⁴² and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers.

¹³ but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin,

²⁰ for where there are two or three gathered together -- to my name, there am I in the midst of them.'

¹¹ wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.

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

¹⁸ so, then, comfort ye one another in these words.

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ -- ye being gathered together, also my spirit -- with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁷ And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight,

¹ And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place,

¹⁹ It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;'

²⁰ and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

²¹ Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;'

²² and this having said, he breathed on `them', and saith to them, `Receive the Holy Spirit;

²³ if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.'

²⁴ And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came;

²⁵ the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.'

²⁶ And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!'

²⁷ then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put `it' to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.'

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;'

²⁹ Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.'

¹⁷ And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;

¹⁸ for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe `it',

¹³ and when they came in, they went up to the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, of James;

¹⁴ these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

¹⁶ And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying,

⁸ or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!' he who is sharing -- `In simplicity!' he who is leading -- `In diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.'

¹¹ And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already `is' to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer `is' our salvation than when we did believe;

¹² the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light;

¹³ as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;

³³ so also ye, when ye may see all these, ye know that it is nigh -- at the doors.

³⁴ Verily I say to you, this generation may not pass away till all these may come to pass.

²⁹ so ye, also, when these ye may see coming to pass, ye know that it is nigh, at the doors.

³⁰ Verily I say to you, that this generation may not pass away till all these things may come to pass;

⁹ the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,

¹⁹ these are those setting themselves apart, natural men, the Spirit not having.

¹³ of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare `it', because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

²⁰ ye, then, coming together at the same place -- it is not to eat the Lord's supper;

³ and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

²³ If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

⁵ let your forbearance be known to all men; the Lord `is' near;

⁸ be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh;

¹⁴ wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found in peace,

⁷ And of all things the end hath come nigh; be sober-minded, then, and watch unto the prayers,

¹¹ All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts?
