² Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

¹⁴ And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men, saying, Behold, the Lord came with his holy myriads,

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. ¹⁶ And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. ¹⁷ Because the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?

¹⁴ And I looked, and behold, a white cloud. And sitting upon the cloud, like a son of man, having a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. ¹⁵ And another agent came out from the temple, crying out in a great voice to him who sits on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle and reap, because the hour has come to reap, because the harvest of the earth is ripe. ¹⁶ And he who sits on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped.

¹⁵ The merchants of these things who became rich from her will stand from afar because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, ¹⁶ and saying, Alas, alas, the great city, which was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls! ¹⁷ Because in one hour such great wealth was devastated. And every shipmaster, and every man who sails anywhere, and sailors, and as many as work by sea, stood from afar ¹⁸ and cried out seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like the great city? ¹⁹ And they cast dust on their heads, and cried out, weeping and mourning, and saying, Alas, alas, the great city in which all who had ships in the sea became rich from her luxuriance! Because in one hour she was devastated. ²⁰ Be glad over her, thou heaven, and the sanctified, and the apostles, and the prophets, because God has decreed your judgment of her.

¹ And after these things I heard as a great sound of a large multitude in heaven, saying, Praise the Lord, the salvation, and the power, and the glory of our God! ² Because true and righteous are his judgments, because he has judged the great whore who ruined the earth by her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his bondmen from her hand. ³ And a second time they said, Praise the Lord! And the smoke of her ascended into the ages of the ages.

⁴ And they will see his face, and his name is on their foreheads.

¹ And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am God Almighty, walk before me, and be thou perfect.

³ And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou may be a company of peoples,

¹¹ And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.

¹⁴ And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And if I be bereaved of my sons, I am bereaved.

³ And Jacob said to Joseph, God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

²⁵ even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee, and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that couches beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.

³ And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but I was not known by them by my name LORD.

⁴ he says who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open,

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

¹⁰ Ye are my witnesses, says LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after me.

⁶ Thus says LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, LORD of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.

¹² Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I also am the last.

¹⁸ and will be for a Father to you, and ye will be for sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.

⁴ John, to the seven congregations in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not, I am the first and the last,

¹⁷ saying, We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who is and was, because thou have taken thy great power and reigned.

¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, doing signs that go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together to the battle of that great day of the Almighty God.

¹⁵ And a sharp two-edged sword comes out of his mouth, so that he would smite the nations by it. And he will tend them with a rod of iron. And he treads the winepress of the wine of the wrath of the anger of the Almighty God.

⁶ And he said to me, I have become, I, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him who is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.

²² And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is the temple of it, and the Lamb.

¹³ -I, the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, so that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation. But cheer up, I have overcome the world.

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that it was necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations.

⁷ to those who indeed seek by perseverance of good work, glory and esteem and immortality-eternal life- ⁸ but to those of self-interest, and who indeed disobey the truth but have confidence in unrighteousness-anger and wrath,

³ And not only so, but we also take pride in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, ⁴ and perseverance, character, and character, hope.

¹⁷ And if children, also heirs, heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer jointly, so that we may also be glorified jointly.

²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait through patience.

⁹ For I think God has exhibited us the apostles least, as men sentenced to die, because we became a spectacle to the world, both to agents and to men. ¹⁰ We are foolish for the sake of Christ, but ye are wise in Christ. We are weak, but ye are strong. Ye are esteemed, but we are disreputable. ¹¹ As far as the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are ill clothed, and are treated roughly, and are homeless. ¹² And we toil, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; ¹³ being slandered, we entreat. We became as trash of the world, an offscouring of all things, until now.

⁷ Just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good news, you all being partners with me of the grace.

¹⁴ Nevertheless ye did well having shared with my affliction.

⁴ So as for us ourselves to have pride in you in the congregations of God, for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the tribulations that ye endure, ⁵ being evidence of the righteous judgment of God, for you to be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also ye suffer.

⁵ And may the Lord direct your hearts for the love of God, and for the steadfastness of the Christ.

⁸ Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner, but suffer together with the good news according to the power of God.

³ Thou therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No man who serves in the military entangles himself in the affairs of life, so that he may please the man who enlisted the army. ⁵ And also if any man competes, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully. ⁶ The farmer who labors must be the first to partake of the fruits. ⁷ Consider what I say, for may the Lord give thee understanding in all things. ⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news, ⁹ within which I suffer evil to the point of bonds as an evildoer, but the word of God is not bound. ¹⁰ Because of this I endure all things because of the chosen, so that they also may experience salvation in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. ¹¹ Faithful is the saying, For if we die together, we will also live together. ¹² If we endure, we will also reign together. If we renounce him, that man will also renounce us.

³⁶ For ye have need of perseverance, so that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

⁷ Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, until it receives the early and latter rain. ⁸ Be ye also patient. Establish your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has approached.

² who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he saw.

⁹ I know thy works and tribulation and poverty (but thou are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say themselves to be Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Fear none of the things that thou are going to suffer. Behold, the devil is indeed going to cast some of you into prison, so that ye may be tried, and ye will have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹⁰ Because thou keep the word of my perseverance, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole inhabited world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

⁷ And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the abyss will make war with them, and he will overcome them and kill them.

¹⁰ If any man keeps in captivity, he goes. If any man kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the sanctified.

¹² Here is the perseverance of the sanctified. Here are those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

¹⁰ And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, See thou not. I am a fellow bondman of thee and thy brothers, those who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

⁴³ He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,

¹⁹ Therefore being evening that day, the first day of the week, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were who assembled because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace to you.

²⁶ And after eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace to you.

¹⁰ And he became very hungry and wanted to eat. But while those men prepared, a trance fell upon him. ¹¹ And he sees heaven opened, and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet bound at four corners, and being lowered to the earth, ¹² in which were all the four-footed things of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky. ¹³ And a voice came to him, After rising, Peter, kill and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said, Not so, Lord, because I have never eaten anything profane or unclean. ¹⁵ And a voice again for a second time, What God has cleansed, thou shall not make profane. ¹⁶ And this happened thrice, and again the vessel was taken up into heaven. ¹⁷ Now while Peter was bewildered in himself whatever the vision which he saw might be, that lo, the men who were sent from Cornelius, having inquired the house of Simon, stood at the gate. ¹⁸ And after calling out they asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodges here. ¹⁹ And while Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men seek thee. ²⁰ But after rising, go down, and go with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them. ²¹ And having gone down to the men, Peter said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek. What is the cause for which ye are here? ²² And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and being well testified by the whole nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy agent to summon thee to his house, and to hear sayings from thee. ²³ So, having invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brothers from Joppa went with him. ²⁴ And on the morrow they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and close friends. ²⁵ And when it came about for Peter to enter, Cornelius, having met him, after falling down at his feet, worshiped. ²⁶ But Peter lifted him up, saying, Stand up. I am also myself a man. ²⁷ And as he conversed with him, he went in and found many who came together. ²⁸ And he said to them, Ye understand how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to fraternize or to visit with a foreign man, and yet God demonstrated to me not to call one man profane or unclean. ²⁹ And so I came without objection when summoned. I ask therefore for what matter ye summoned me. ³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour, and the ninth hour praying in my house. And behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel. ³¹ And he says, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy charities are remembered before God. ³² Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. This man lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, beside the sea, who, after coming, will speak to thee. ³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou did well having come. Now therefore we are all present in the sight of God, to hear all the things commanded thee by God.

⁷ And upon the first day of the week, the disciples having come together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged his speech until midnight.

² Upon the first day of the week let each of you set something aside near himself, storing up whatever he may prosper, so that when I come no collections may be made then.

² I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in body, I know not, or whether outside the body, I know not, God knows) such a man was caught up as far as the third heaven. ³ And I know such a man (whether in body, or whether outside the body, I know not, God knows) ⁴ that he was caught up into the paradise, and heard inexpressible sayings that are not permitted for a man to utter.

¹ After these things I looked, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard like a trumpet, speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show thee what must happen after these things. ² And straightaway I became in spirit. And behold, a throne was set in heaven, and him sitting upon the throne

³ And he cried out in a great voice as a lion roars. And when he cried out, the seven thunders uttered their voices. ⁴ And when the seven thunders uttered, I was going to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up what the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them. ⁵ And the agent whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth raised his right hand to heaven, ⁶ and swore by him who lives into the ages of the ages, who created the heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that time would be no more. ⁷ But in the days of the voice of the seventh agent, when he is going to sound, even the mystery of God is finished, as he declared the good news to his bondmen the prophets. ⁸ And the voice that I heard from heaven was again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the little book that has been opened in the hand of the agent who stands upon the sea and upon the earth.

³ And he carried me away in spirit into a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast containing names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

¹⁰ And he carried me away in spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

¹⁹ Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach thou it the sons of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the sons of Israel.

⁸ Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.

² Thus speaks LORD, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken to thee in a book.

² And LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run who reads it.

¹⁹ And he came to Ephesus and left behind those there, but having entered into the synagogue himself, he discoursed with the Jews. ²⁰ And when they asked him to remain on more time with them, he did not consent, ²¹ but separated from them, having said, I must definitely keep the coming feast at Jerusalem, but I will return again to you, God willing. And he launched from Ephesus.

²⁴ Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by origin, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, being mighty in the scriptures.

¹ And it came to pass while Apollos was at Corinth, for Paul, having passed through the upper regions, to come to Ephesus. And having found some disciples, ² he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, But we have not even heard if there is a Holy Spirit. ³ And he said to them, Into what then were ye immersed? And they said, Into John's immersion. ⁴ And Paul said, John indeed immersed an immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus, the Christ. ⁵ And when they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And Paul having laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues, and prophesied. ⁷ And all the men were about twelve. ⁸ And after entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading the things about the kingdom of God. ⁹ But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, having withdrawn from them, he separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of a certain Tyrannus. ¹⁰ And this happened for two years, so as for all those dwelling in Asia to hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. ¹¹ And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, ¹² so as to even bring handkerchiefs or aprons from his skin to those who were incapacitated and to free their infirmities from them, and the evil spirits to go out from them. ¹³ But some of the wandering Jewish exorcists, attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims. ¹⁴ And there were some sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, seven doing this. ¹⁵ And having answered, the evil spirit said, I know Jesus and I recognize Paul, but who are ye? ¹⁶ And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, and having overpowered them, he prevailed against them, so as for them to flee out of that house naked and wounded. ¹⁷ And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, to those who dwell at Ephesus. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. ¹⁸ And many of those who have believed came, confessing, and reporting their practices. ¹⁹ And a considerable number of those who practiced magical things, having brought their books together, burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. ²⁰ Thus the word of the Lord was growing mightily and was prevailing. ²¹ Now when these things were fulfilled, Paul decided in the spirit, after passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, having said, After becoming there, I must also see Rome. ²² And having sent into Macedonia two of those who help him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while. ²³ And about that time there developed no small stir about the Way. ²⁴ For a certain silversmith named Demetrius who makes silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little work to the craftsmen, ²⁵ to whom also (having assembled the workmen about such things) he said, Men, ye know that our prosperity is from this work. ²⁶ And ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this man Paul, having persuaded them, turned away a considerable multitude, saying that there are no gods made by hands. ²⁷ And not only is this our part liable to come into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis is going to be regarded for nothing, and also her magnificence be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship. ²⁸ And when they heard this, having become full of wrath, they cried out, saying, The great Artemis of Ephesians. ²⁹ And the whole city was filled with the confusion. And they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, traveling companions of Paul. ³⁰ And when Paul wanted to enter in to the crowd, the disciples did not let him. ³¹ And also some of the Asian officers, being their friends, having sent to him, implored him not to give himself into the theatre. ³² Indeed therefore some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was confused, and most had not seen why they had come together. ³³ And they urged forward Alexander out of the multitude, having put him forward from the Jews. And Alexander having waved his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd. ³⁴ But after recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice developed from them all, crying out for about two hours, The great Artemis of Ephesians. ³⁵ And when the town clerk calmed the multitude, he says, Ephesian men, now who is the man who does not know the city of the Ephesians being temple-guardian of the great goddess Artemis, and of what fell from Zeus? ³⁶ Therefore these things being undeniable, ye ought to be restrained, and do nothing rash. ³⁷ For ye brought these men, who are neither sacrilegious nor blaspheming your goddess. ³⁸ Indeed therefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen with him, have a matter against any man, forums are brought, and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse each other. ³⁹ And if ye seek anything about other things, it will be decided in the assembly within law. ⁴⁰ For we are also in danger to be accused about the uproar today, there being no cause about which we can give account of this commotion. ⁴¹ And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

¹⁷ And from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he summoned the elders of the congregation.

³² If in respect to men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what is the benefit to me if the dead are not raised? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

⁸ But I will remain at Ephesus until Pentecost.

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the sanctified who are at Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:

¹⁵ Salute the brothers in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly associated with his house. ¹⁶ And when the letter has been read among you, cause that it be read also in the congregation of Laodiceans, and that ye also read the one from Laodicea.

³ As I urged thee, while going to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus, so that thou might command certain men not to teach something different,

¹⁹ Therefore write the things that thou saw, and things that are, and things that are going to happen after these things.

⁴ And when the seven thunders uttered, I was going to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up what the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, says the Spirit, so that they may rest from their toils, and their works follow with them.

⁹ And he says to me, Write, Blessed are those who have been called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are the true sayings of God.

⁵ And he who sits upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says to me, Write, because these words are true and faithful.

³⁷ And thou shall make the lamps of it, seven. And they shall light the lamps of it, to give light in front of it.

⁵ And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court, and, behold, the glory of LORD filled the house. ⁶ And I heard speaking to me out of the house, and a man stood by me.

⁹ The voice of LORD cries to the city, and the man of wisdom will see thy name. Hear ye the rod, and who has appointed it.

² And he said to me, What do thou see? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top of it,

¹³ And in the midst of the seven lampstands, resembling a son of man, he who was clothed down to the foot, and girded about with a golden belt at the breasts.

⁶ And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman. ⁷ It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together. ⁸ And the skillfully woven band, which is upon it, with which to gird it on, shall be like the work of it and of the same piece, of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

⁵ And the skillfully woven band, that was upon it with which to gird it on, was of the same piece and like the work of it, of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, as LORD commanded Moses.

⁷ And he put upon him the tunic, and girded him with the sash, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and bound it to him therewith.

⁵ And righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins.

²⁶ And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. And upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above. ²⁷ And I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward. And from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire. And there was brightness round about him. ²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice speaking.

⁹ I beheld till thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat. His raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and the wheels of it burning fire.

⁵ I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz. ⁶ Also his body was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

¹⁶ And, behold, someone in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have turned upon me, and I retain no strength.

⁷ But he emptied himself, having taken a form of a bondman, having become in a likeness of men. ⁸ And having been found in a form like a man, he lowered himself, having become obedient until death, even of death from a cross.

¹⁴ Since therefore the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might make him who has the power of death impotent, that is, the devil. ¹⁵ And he might liberate these, as many as throughout all their lifetime were deserving of bondage, with a specter of death. ¹⁶ For he certainly did not embrace agents, but he embraced the seed of Abraham. ¹⁷ Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in accordance with all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things toward God, in order to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.

¹⁴ And I looked, and behold, a white cloud. And sitting upon the cloud, like a son of man, having a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

⁶ And the seven agents came forth from the temple having the seven plagues, who were clothed in pure bright linen, and golden belts girded around their breasts.

⁶ Also his body was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

³ And his appearance was as lightning and his clothing white as snow.

¹² And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems having names written, and a name written that none knows except he himself,

⁴ Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, LORD on high is mighty.

¹³ The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters, but he shall rebuke them. And they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.

⁷ And their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot, and they sparkled like burnished brass.

³ And he brought me there, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed. And he stood in the gate.

² And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. And his voice was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.

² And I heard a sound from heaven as a sound of many waters, and as a sound of great thunder. And the voice that I heard was as of harpers harping with their harps.

⁶ And I heard as the sound of a large multitude, and as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, Praise the Lord! Because the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

⁷ when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁴ but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.

²³ Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, for LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion and in Jerusalem. And glory shall be before his elders.

² And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hid me in the shadow of his hand, and he has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

¹⁹ The sun shall no more be thy light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to thee, but LORD will be to thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. ²⁰ Thy sun shall no more go down, nor shall thy moon withdraw itself, for LORD will be thine everlasting light. And the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

¹⁰ And it grew great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled upon them.

³ And those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

² But to you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings, and ye shall go forth, and frolic as calves of the stall.

² And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light.

¹³ at midday, O king, I saw on the road a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, which shone around me and those who went with me.

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

¹² For the word of God is living, and potent, and sharper, above every two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division both of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and discernible of the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

¹⁶ Repent therefore, and if not I come to thee quickly, and will war against them with the sword of my mouth.

¹ And I saw a mighty agent coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire,

¹ And a great sign was seen in heaven. A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars upon her head.

²¹ And the others were killed by the sword that comes forth out of his mouth (of him who sits upon the horse), and all the birds were filled from their flesh.

¹ After these things the word of LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram. I am thy shield, thy exceedingly great reward.

¹³ And Moses said to the people, Fear ye not. Stand still, and see the salvation of LORD, which he will work for you today, for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever.

²⁰ And Moses said to the people, Fear not, for God has come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye not sin.

¹⁰ Fear thou not, for I am with thee. Be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee. Yea, I will help thee. Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice speaking.

¹⁷ So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was frightened, and fell upon my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end. ¹⁸ Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground, but he touched me, and set me upright.

⁸ So I was left alone, and saw this great vision. And there remained no strength in me, for my fitness was turned in me into debility, and I retained no strength. ⁹ Yet I heard the voice of his words. And when I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground. ¹⁰ And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

¹² Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that thou set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard. And I have come for thy words' sake.

¹⁵ And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was mute.

¹⁷ For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, straightaway there remained no strength in me, nor was there breath left in me. ¹⁸ Then someone like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me. ¹⁹ And he said, O man greatly beloved, fear not. Peace be to thee. Be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak, for thou have strengthened me.

¹⁶ I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.

² And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light. ³ And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. ⁴ And having responded, Peter said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If thou desire, we could make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. ⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him. ⁶ And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid. ⁷ And having come, Jesus touched them and said, Arise, and fear not.

⁴ And those watching over shook from fear of him, and became as dead men.

⁵ And having entered into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. ⁶ And he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the man of Nazareth who was crucified. He was raised. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him.

³⁷ But having been startled, and having become frightened, they presumed to see a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? ³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as ye see me having.

²³ And one of his disciples whom Jesus loved was sitting at Jesus' bosom.

²⁰ But Peter, having turned around, sees the disciple whom Jesus loves, following, who also leaned near his chest at the supper, and said, Lord, who is the man betraying thee?

²⁵ But as for me I know that my Redeemer lives, and at last he will stand up upon the earth.

⁴⁶ LORD lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation,

²⁰ God is to us a God of deliverances, and escape from death belongs to LORD the Lord.

²² And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, and he shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut, and none shall open.

¹⁹ And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever thou may bind on earth will be what is bound in the heavens, and whatever thou may loose on the earth will be what is loosed in the heavens.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more, but ye see me. Because I live, ye will also live.

⁹ knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.

⁸ For both if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Both if we live and if we die, therefore, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For because of this Christ both died and arose, and he became alive so that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ holds us together, having judge this, that if one died for all, then all died. ¹⁵ And he died for all so that those who live would no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and was raised.

⁴ For even if he was crucified from weakness, yet he lives from the power of God. For we in him are also weak, but we will live with him from the power of God toward you.

³ For ye died, and your life has been hidden with the Christ in God.

³ Who, being the radiance of his glory, and the exact image of his essence, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made purification of our sins through himself, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights.

¹⁶ who has become, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

²⁵ Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf.

² Looking to Jesus the pathfinder and perfecter of the faith, who, against the joy set before him, endured a cross, having despised the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

⁹ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, he who lives into the ages of the ages,

¹⁴ And the four living creatures were saying the Truly. And the elders fell down and worshiped.

¹ And the fifth agent sounded, and I saw a star fallen from the sky to the earth. And the key of the pit of the abyss was given to him.

¹ And I saw an agent coming down out of heaven having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. ² And he seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, who leads the whole world astray, and bound him a thousand years.

¹⁴ And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

¹¹ saying, What thou see, write in a book and send to the seven congregations: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹ After these things I looked, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard like a trumpet, speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show thee what must happen after these things. ² And straightaway I became in spirit. And behold, a throne was set in heaven, and him sitting upon the throne ³ similar in appearance to a jasper and a sardius stone. And a rainbow was around the throne, like an emerald in appearance. ⁴ And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones were sitting twenty-four elders clothed in white garments, and golden crowns upon their heads. ⁵ And out of the throne proceeds lightnings and voices and thunders. And seven lamps of fire burned before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. ⁶ And before the throne was like a glassy sea similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and all around the throne, were four living creatures containing eyes in front and back. ⁷ And the first living creature was similar to a lion, and the second living creature was similar to a young bull, and the third living creature having a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was similar to a flying eagle. ⁸ And the four living creatures, one by one, each having six wings, are full of eyes around and inside. And they have no cessation day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord, the Almighty God, he was, and who is, and who is coming. ⁹ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, he who lives into the ages of the ages, ¹⁰ the twenty-four elders would fall down before him who sits on the throne, and would worship him who lives into the ages of the ages, and would cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ¹¹ Thou are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy, to take the glory and the honor and the power, because thou created all things, and because by thy will they are, and were created.

⁷ For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth. For he is the messenger of LORD of hosts.

¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city setting on a hill cannot be hid, ¹⁵ nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all in the house. ¹⁶ Thus your light should shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in the heavens.

¹¹ And having answered, he said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those men it has not been given.

¹⁰ And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the others in parables, so that seeing they would not see, and hearing they would not understand.

¹⁵ so that ye may become blameless and pure children of God, blameless in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. ¹⁶ Holding firm the word of life, for a boast by me in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.

¹⁴ These things I write to thee, hoping to come to thee sooner, ¹⁵ but if I delay, that thou may know how it is necessary to live in a house of God, which is a congregation of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. ¹⁶ And without controversy great is the mystery of piety. God was manifested in flesh, justified in spirit, seen by agents, proclaimed among nations, believed in the world, taken up in glory.

¹² And I turned there to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands. ¹³ And in the midst of the seven lampstands, resembling a son of man, he who was clothed down to the foot, and girded about with a golden belt at the breasts.

¹⁶ and having in his right hand seven stars, and a sharp two-edged sword coming out of his mouth. And the sight of him was as the sun shines in its strength.

¹ To the agent of the congregation in Ephesus write, These things says he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:
