sion, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence-so also is the free gift: For, if through the offence of one, many be dead; much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, have abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift; for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free-gift is of many offences unto justification: For if by one man's offence, death reigned by one-much more they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore as, by the offence of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so, by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as, by one man's disobedience, many were made sinners; so, by the obedience of one, shall many be made righteous- Moreover, the law entered, that the offence might abound, but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign, through righteousness, by Jesus Christ our Lord. k

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, thatChrist Jesus came into the world to save sinners. This is a faithful saying,and worthy of all acceptation-For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour (or Restorer) of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach. #3 ♣ Rom. v. 9.-21. 7 1 Tim. i. 15. m 1 Tim. iv. 9, 10, 11.

For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation to all men, hath appeared;* teaching us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly. righteously, and godly, in this present world. n For God sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world, through him, might be saved. And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world. p. In him was life, and the life was the light of

men.

And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John the same came to bear witness of the light, that all men through him (or it) might believe. He was not that light, but was sent to bear witness of that light. That was the true light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. q And thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins. r

Jesus said unto them (the Jews), Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven: For the bread of God is he who cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. s And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world: t For I came not to judge the world,

but to save the world ufor the Son of Man

is come to save that which was lost. v

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men-för kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

All things being given into the hands of CHRIST; be shall subdue, bring into subjection, reconcile and restore all things.

JESUS knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; a said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal; that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. b. All things are delivered to me of my Father. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. d All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the will of him that sent me; that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.e

No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God :

every man therefore, that hath heard and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.ƒ

All things are delivered to me of my Father. g Father, I will that they also whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. b Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me; and I knew that thou hearest me always. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. j I pray for them I pray not for the world, (i. e. now) but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine, k Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also that shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.

God-Hath, in these last days, spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things; by whom also he constituted the ages: Who being the brightness of his glory, and
