Page 21 - He that believeth on him is not condemned : but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Page 46 - I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel ; which is not another ; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Page 74 - Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law : but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy : who art thou that judgest another?

Page 21 - Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me ; for I proceeded forth and came from God : neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Page 118 - Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any : even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Page 117 - God cometh on the children of disobedience ; in the which ye also walked sometime, when ye lived in them ; but now ye also put off all these, anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth ; lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him...
Page 81 - I know him," and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
