Therefore do not thou shame the witnessing of our Lord Jesus Christ, neither me, his prisoner; but travail thou together in the gospel by the virtue of God;
Ye people, that know the just [or rightwise] man, hear me, my law is in the heart of them; do not ye dread the shame of men, and dread ye not the blasphemies of them.
But who that acknowledgeth me and my words, in this generation adulterous and sinful, also man’s Son shall acknowledge him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels.
And honour and glory be to him, that is mighty to confirm you by my gospel, and preaching of Jesus Christ, by the revelation of mystery held still, [that is, not showed], in times ever-lasting;
as it is written, Lo! I put a stone of offence in Zion, and a stone of stumbling; and each that shall believe in it, shall not be confounded, [or shamed].
As it is just to me to feel this thing for all you, for that I have you in heart, and in my bonds, and in defending and confirming of the gospel, that all ye be fellows of my joy.
and now I have joy in passion for you, and I [ful] fill those things that fail of the passions of Christ in my flesh, for his body, that is the church.
For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not confound-ed. For I know to whom I have believed, and I am certain that he is mighty to keep that is taken to my keeping, into that day.
But the Lord helped me [or the Lord stood nigh to me], and comforted me, that the preaching be [full]-filled by me, and that all folks hear, that I am delivered from the mouth of the lion.
I, John, your brother, and partner in tribulation, and kingdom, and patience in Christ Jesus, was in an isle, that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the witnessing of Jesus.
And they overcame him for the blood of the lamb, and for the word of his witnessing; and they loved not their lives [or their souls] till to the death.
And I felled down before his feet, to worship him. And he said to me, See thou, that thou do not; I am a servant with thee, and of thy brethren, having the witnessing of Jesus; worship thou God. For the witnessing of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
