Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.

Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

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.

If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:

For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.

As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
