¹¹ and we desire each one of you the same diligence to shew, unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end,

⁶ and Christ, as a Son over his house, whose house are we, if the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end we hold fast.

¹⁴ for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast,

²² may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;

⁵⁸ so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

² through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.

³ And not only `so', but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;

⁴ and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;

⁵ and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.

²¹ who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God.

³ Blessed `is' the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness did beget us again to a living hope, through the rising again of Jesus Christ out of the dead,

⁴ to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you,

⁵ who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

³² And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye did endure much conflict of sufferings,

³³ partly both with reproaches and tribulations being made spectacles, and partly having become partners of those so living,

³⁴ for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.

³⁵ Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,

¹⁸ that through two immutable things, in which `it is' impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before `us',

¹⁹ which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,

²⁰ whither a forerunner for us did enter -- Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become -- to the age.

⁵ And this same also -- all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,

⁶ and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety,

⁷ and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;

⁸ for these things being to you and abounding, do make `you' neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble,

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

¹ See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;

² beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

³ and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.

¹⁴ we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.

¹⁹ and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,

²⁶ and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations,

¹³ and ye, brethren, may ye not be weary doing well,

¹⁶ and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace,

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

¹³ but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;

²⁴ for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for `it'?

²⁵ and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect `it'.

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 in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

¹² in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

¹³ and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

¹³ and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these `is' love.

⁵ for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,

⁹ and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;

⁹ and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,

¹⁰ for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ,

¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that `is' through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹⁵ As many, therefore, as `are' perfect -- let us think this, and if `in' anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,

⁵ because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news,

²³ if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that `is' under the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a ministrant.

² that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,

⁵ because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort we became among you because of you,

¹⁰ for ye do it also to all the brethren who `are' in all Macedonia; and we call upon you, brethren, to abound still more,

¹⁷ And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness -- Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age.
