American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:
from which things some having {Or, missed the mark. Chapter 6:21; 2 Timothy 2:18.}swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
And we know and have believed the love which God hath {Or, in our case}in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.
and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been {Greek: poured out.}shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.
Keep thy heart {Or, above all that thou guardest}with all diligence;For out of it are the issues of life.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
which also {Or, in the antitype}after a true likeness doth now save you, even baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the {Or, inquiry Or, appeal}interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?
Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
And Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:
On that day there came to him Sadducees, {Many ancient authorities read saying.}they that say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him,
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.
Yea, they bind heavy burdens {Many ancient authorities omit and grievous to be bourne.}and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, {Deuteronomy 27:26.}Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.
