…not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come.

But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.

And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith.

But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.

To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.

Some have strayed from these ways and turned aside to empty talk.

They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

But refuse to enroll younger widows. For when their passions draw them away from Christ, they will want to marry,

At the same time they will also learn to be idle, going from house to house and being not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, discussing things they should not mention.

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

…which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith. Grace be with you all.

To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.

Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel,

…who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.

Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

…having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!

Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith.

…my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.

…while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them.

From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.

And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

…not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.

He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good—

Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.

See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.

For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”

For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.

For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.

But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.

Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,

This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.

Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.

But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.

Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.

Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.

…how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!

Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

…let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.

…quenched the raging fire, and escaped the edge of the sword; who gained strength from weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.

Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

We have an altar from which those who serve at the tabernacle have no right to eat.

Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,

Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.

That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.

Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.

What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.

See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,

…consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

…consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,

Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.

Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.

Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,

…but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.
