And in those days cometh John the Baptist, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea,
and saying, ‘Reform, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens,’
‘Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;
and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.
and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end — he shall be saved.
‘So I say to you, joy doth come before the messengers of God over one sinner reforming.’
for God did so love the world, that His Son — the only begotten — He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.
‘Verily, verily, I say to you — He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.
according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,
and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish — to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;
and Peter said unto them, ‘Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,
for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.’
reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.
or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise? — not knowing that the goodness of God doth lead thee to reformation!
Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
for the wages of the sin [is] death, and the gift of God [is] life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.
that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,
for with the heart doth [one] believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you — of God the gift,
not of works, that no one may boast;
therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,
who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,
Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness did beget us again to a living hope, through the rising again of Jesus Christ out of the dead,
to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you,
who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,
the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is longsuffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,
if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;
and this is the promise that He did promise us — the life the age-during.
These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.
