Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. | He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. |
Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.” | Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. |
No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. | Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. |
But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. | But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. |

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. | He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. |
If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them. | If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. |
Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads slander is a fool. | He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. |
