But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let {them} slip. {let...: Gr. run out as leaking vessels}

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, {then} are ye my disciples indeed;

Who hath saved us, and called {us} with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and {be} not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, {and} which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: {it is} the gift of God:

They on the rock {are they}, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

Let us hold fast the profession of {our} faith without wavering; (for he {is} faithful that promised;)

What {doth it} profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. {spirit: or, breath}

We then, {as} workers together {with him}, beseech {you} also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast {our} profession.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. {alone: Gr. by itself}

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

Therefore whether {it were} I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

Take fast hold of instruction; let {her} not go: keep her; for she {is} thy life.

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if {it be} yet in vain. {so many: or, so great}

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Buy the truth, and sell {it} not; {also} wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. {miracles...: Gr. signs and great miracles}

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in {his} goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

And if Christ be not risen, then {is} our preaching vain, and your faith {is} also vain.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in {his} goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which {was bestowed} upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if {it be} yet in vain. {so many: or, so great}

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion {is} vain.

I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness {come} by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered {them} to you. {ordinances: or, traditions}

What {doth it} profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

They on the rock {are they}, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

And if Christ be not risen, then {is} our preaching vain, and your faith {is} also vain.

And if Christ be not raised, your faith {is} vain; ye are yet in your sins.
