That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

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

Even the righteousness of God {which is} by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called {to be} saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond {nor} free: but Christ {is} all, and in all.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

Then Peter opened {his} mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

And the voice {spake} unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, {that} call not thou common.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, {see that ye} love one another with a pure heart fervently:

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which {he had yet} being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

What then? are we better {than they}? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; {proved: Gr. charged}

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition {between us};

Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

{Is he} the God of the Jews only? {is he} not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. {right: or, constant}

Blessed {are} the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse {your} hands, {ye} sinners; and purify {your} hearts, {ye} double minded.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, {see that ye} love one another with a pure heart fervently:

To open their eyes, {and} to turn {them} from darkness to light, and {from} the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. {He...: Heb. The clean of hands}

To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, {that} call not thou common.

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

And the voice {spake} unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, {that} call not thou common.

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD {men} depart from evil.

And it shall come to pass, {that} ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and {of} a good conscience, and {of} faith unfeigned:

Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called {to be} saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Even the righteousness of God {which is} by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

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

And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

The way of man {is} froward and strange: but {as for} the pure, his work {is} right.

He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, {Ye must} be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no {such} commandment:

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

In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. {bells: or, bridles}
