Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and {to} the evil.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

For I {am} the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I {am} holy.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, {even} to them that believe on his name: {power: or, the right, or, privilege}

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

{Is} Ephraim my dear son? {is he} a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD. {are...: Heb. sound}

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, {that} in the place where it was said unto them, Ye {are} not my people, {there} it shall be said unto them, {Ye are} the sons of the living God. {in...: or, instead of that}

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Be ye followers of me, even as I also {am} of Christ.

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, {so} walk ye in him:

Blessed {are} the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. {sure: or, steady}

{He that is} slow to anger {is} better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; {harmless: or, sincere} {ye shine: or, shine ye}

And who {is} he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will {my} Father honour.

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.

And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

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

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, {is} God in his holy habitation.

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set {us} in the way of his steps.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

I {was} a father to the poor: and the cause {which} I knew not I searched out.

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away {the punishment} thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever: {did cast...: Heb. corrupted his compassions}
