| For we walk by faith, not by sight. | For we live by faith, not by sight. |
| Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. | This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. |
| For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. | For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! |

| And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. | And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. |
| And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us. | This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. |
| For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. | ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ |
| Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. | Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. |
| Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. | Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. |
| And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. | And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. |
| For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. | You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. |
| For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. | For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. |

This is the true God, and eternal life. | We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. |
| For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. | This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. |
| If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. | Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. |
| The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. | The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. |
| Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. | Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. |
| Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. | Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. |
