| He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. | Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. |
| He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. | Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. |
|
| But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. | Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. |
| A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. | An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies. |
| Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. | The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. |
| He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. | The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others. |
| He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? | So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? |
| Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil. | Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. |
| Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. | Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. |
| Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. | Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. |
| And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. | The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. |
| And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. | Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. |
| Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. | Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. |
| Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? | Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’? |
| He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. | Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. |
| He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. | He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. |
| He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? | He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. |
| Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. | Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. |
| The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. | The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. |
| For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. | For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. |
| For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? | What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? |
| I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. | I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. |
| God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? | God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? |
| For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. | For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have. |
| Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. | In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. |
