As free and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.

Alexander ærarius multa mala mihi ostendit : reddet illi Dominus secundum opera ejus :

Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: whether it be to the king as excelling,

looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in `all' holy living and godliness,

Lucas est mecum solus. Marcum assume, et adduc tecum : est enim mihi utilis in ministerium.

Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Tu vero vigila, in omnibus labora, opus fac evangelistæ, ministerium tuum imple. Sobrius esto.

Demas enim me reliquit, diligens hoc sæculum, et abiit Thessalonicam :

Who in times past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy: but now have obtained mercy.

And a stone of stumbling and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.

But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

et a veritate quidem auditum avertent, ad fabulas autem convertentur.

To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:

Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrinam non sustinebunt, sed ad sua desideria coacervabunt sibi magistros, prurientes auribus,

but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him shall not be confounded.

prædica verbum, insta opportune, importune : argue, obsecra, increpa in omni patientia, et doctrina.
