¹² For living is the Word of Aloha, and all-acting, and more penetrating than a two-edged sword,[The sword of two mouths.] and entereth to the separation of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints, and of the marrow, and the bones, and discerneth the reasonings and counsel of the heart.

²⁴ It hath been heard by us, that men from us have gone forth and disturbed you with words, and have subverted your souls by saying, that you should be circumcised and observe the law, whom we have not commanded.

³ My beloved, while giving all diligence to write to you concerning our common salvation, it is needful for me to write to you, exhorting you (in particular) to do battle [D'aguno tebadun.] for the faith which was once delivered to the saints. ⁴ For certain men have obtained entrance, who from the beginning were proscribed in this condemnation; depraved men, who the grace of Aloha turn unto lasciviousness, and him who is the only Lord GOD, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, deny. ⁵ But I will to remind you, though all of you know, that Aloha, when once the people from Metsreen he had redeemed, yet afterward [Or, secondly.] destroyed them who believed not. ⁶ And the angels who kept not their primacy, but left their habitation, unto the judgment of the great day in chains unknown, under darkness, he hath kept. ⁷ As Sadum and Omuro, and the cities which were around them, which in manner of them committed fornication, and went after other flesh, are lying under everlasting fire, condemned unto judgment. ⁸ In this manner also (will perish) those who, in sleep imagining, defile the flesh, but contemn government, and blaspheme majesty. ⁹ Yet Mikael, chief of angels, when, with the accuser speaking, he contended on account of the body of Musha, dared not bring against him a reviling judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. ¹⁰ But these the things which they know not revile; but through those by which naturally as the beasts they are swayed, they are corrupted. ¹¹ Woe to them; for in the way of Koen they have gone, and after the error of Belam for gain they have burned, and in the rebellion of Kurach they have perished. ¹² These are they who, in their recreations contaminating, behave wantonly, feeding themselves without reverence; clouds without rain, roaming with the winds; trees whose fruit withereth, and which are unfruitful, twice dead, and uplifted from their root; ¹³ turbulent waves of the sea, which, by their foaming, manifest their shame; erring stars, unto whom the blackness of darkness that is eternal is reserved. ¹⁴ But Hanuk also, who was the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, ¹⁵ Behold, the Lord cometh, with myriads of his saints, to execute judgment upon all; and to convict all the wicked for all their deeds which they have wickedly done; and for all those obdurate words which ungodly sinners have spoken. ¹⁶ These are they who murmur and complain of every thing, while walking according to their own desires; their mouth speaking portentous things, and extolling persons for the sake of gain.

¹¹ For he who saith to him, "Farewell," becometh a participator of his evil deeds.

¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are known, which are (these), fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, ²⁰ the worship of idols, sorcery, enmity, contention, ambition, wrath, calumny, divisions, rendings, ²¹ envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all that are like these; and they who do them, as I told you before, so now I tell you, the kingdom of Aloha do not inherit.

¹⁰ If any one come to you, and this doctrine bring not, receive him not into the house, and "Joy to you," and " Farewell," say not to him.

⁴ For if he who hath come to you shall preach to you another Jeshu, whom we have not preached, or you receive another Spirit which you have not received or another gospel which you have not accepted, you would have been well persuaded.

¹ BUT there were false prophets in the world, as also among you there will be false teachers, they who introduce heresies of destruction,[Abadono.] and, the Lord who bought them denying, bring upon themselves swift destruction.

¹⁰ From an heretical man, after one time and twice thou hast admonished him, withdraw;

¹ MY beloved, believe not all spirits, but discern the spirits whether they be from Aloha; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

¹ BUT there were false prophets in the world, as also among you there will be false teachers, they who introduce heresies of destruction,[Abadono.] and, the Lord who bought them denying, bring upon themselves swift destruction. ² And many will go after their wickedness; they, on account of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. ³ And with fraudulency [Olubutho is used both for avaritia and defraudatio.] of deceptive words will they make merchandise of you; they, whose judgment (denounced) before tarrieth not, and whose destruction doth not sleep. ⁴ For if Aloha upon the angels who sinned was not lenient, but in chains of darkness shut them in the deeps, and delivered them to be kept to the judgment of pain; ⁵ and on the former world was not lenient, but Nuch, who was the eighth preacher of righteousness, he preserved, when the deluge came upon the world of the wicked; ⁶ the cities of Sadum and of Omuro he burned, and with overthrow condemned them, while an example to the wicked who should be he set them; ⁷ also Lut the righteous, who was bruised with the impure conversation of the lawless, he delivered; ⁸ - for in sight and in hearing, while (that) just (man) dwelt among them, from day to day, his righteous soul by their lawless works was tortured; ⁹ - the Lord knoweth how to deliver from affliction them who fear him, but the evil unto the day of judgment to be tormented will he reserve. ¹⁰ But most those who after the flesh follow the concupiscence of impurity, and of authority are contemptuous; daring and arrogant, (and) who by greatness [Or, glory, majesty.] are not moved while they blaspheme: ¹¹ whereas angels, who in power and strength are (so much) greater than they, bring not against them a judgment of blasphemy. ¹² But these, as the dumb animals, by nature (ordained) to the knife and to destruction, blaspheming what they know not, in their own destruction will be destroyed; ¹³ while they in whom is iniquity the wages of iniquity shall receive. They repute as pleasure the luxury which is in the day. Blemishes (are they), full of spots, who delighting in their refreshments are luxurious: ¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and sins which cease not, alluring souls that are not established. An heart have they which is disciplined in covetousness; ¹⁵ sons of malediction, who, forsaking the straight way, have erred, and gone in the way of Belam bar Beur, who the wages of iniquity loved. ¹⁶ But he had reproof of his transgression; (for) the dumb ass which spake with the voice of man rebuked the madness of the prophet. ¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven from above, unto whom the blackness of darkness is reserved. ¹⁸ For while they speak scoffing words of vanity, they allure with impure desires of the flesh those who almost escaped from them who have their conversation in error. ¹⁹ And liberty to them they promise, while they (themselves) are the servants of corruption; for the thing by which a man is overcome, to that he is subject. ²⁰ For if [when] they have escaped from the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jeshu Meshiha, with those very things entangled they are again over-come, their end becomes worse than the beginning. ²¹ For it had been more tolerable for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, when they knew, to turn backward from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it hath happened to them according to the true proverb, that The dog hath turned unto his vomit; the sow which had washed into the wallow of the mire.
