He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? {spot: or, fault}

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

The like figure whereunto {even} baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only {use} not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

And {some} of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

But let patience have {her} perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, {it is} because {there is} no light in them. {no...: Heb. no morning}

And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, {if} the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it {is} unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it {is} fret inward, {whether} it {be} bare within or without. {whether...: Heb. whether it be bald in the head thereof, or in the forehead thereof}
