Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.

Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
