:"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter [Greek '''''rock'''''], and upon this rock I will build my '''<big><big>church</big>; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it</big>'''. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and '''<big>whatsoever</big> thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and <big>whatsoever</big> thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven'''."<br>"But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in '''the house of God, which is the <big>church of God, the pillar and ground of the truth</big>'''."<br>"'''Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves:''' for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that ''is'' unprofitable for you."<br>"Ye see then how that '''by works a man is justified, and <big>not by faith alone</big>'''.<br>"'''Submit yourselves to <big>every ordinance of man</big> for the Lord's sake:''' whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using ''your'' liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. '''Honour all ''men''. <big>Love the brotherhood. Fear God</big>. Honour the king.'''"<br>"We have also a '''more sure word of <big>prophecy</big>; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed''', as unto '''a light that shineth in a dark place''', until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this '''first, that <big>no prophesy of the scripture is of any private interpretation</big>'''. For the prophesy came not in old time by the will of man: but '''holy men of God spake''' ''as they were'' moved by the Holy Ghost'''. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom '''the way of truth shall be evil spoken of'''."<br>"Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. '''<big>They went out from us</big>, but they were not of us;''' for if they had been of us, they would ''no doubt'' have continued with us: but ''they went out'', that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us'''."<br>"But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be '''mockers''' in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. '''These be they who <big>separate themselves</big>, sensual, <big> having not the Spirit</big>'''."
