Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. {thou shalt surely...: Heb. dying thou shalt die}

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished {my} course, I have kept the faith:

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they {were} naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. {aprons: or, things to gird about}

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
