¹³ O that My people were hearkening to Me, And Israel were walking in My ways!"

⁶ I Myself have said:you are elohim, And sons of the Supreme are all of you." ⁷ Yet you shall die like common humanity, And like any other of the chiefs you shall fall."

¹¹ For Sun and Shield is Yahweh Elohim; Grace and glory does Yahweh bestow; He does not withhold good from those walking with integrity.

³ The streams lift up, O Yahweh, The streams lift up their voice; The streams shall lift up their crushing waves." ⁴ Greater than the sounds of mighty waters, Nobler than the breakers of the sea, Is Yahweh noble in the height."

¹⁰ Forty years I was disgusted with this generation, And I said, They are a people straying in heart, And they give no thought to My ways."

²⁷ All of them look forward to You To supply their food in its season; ²⁸ You supply it to them; they pick it up. You open Your hand; they are well satisfied.

⁴⁵ And, for them, He remembered His covenant, So that He was merciful according to His many benignities."

³⁴ A fruitful area into a salty waste, Because of the evil of those dwelling in it."

⁴ Yahweh has sworn, and He shall not regret:You are a priest for the eon According to the order of Melchizedek."

¹⁵⁸ I see the treacherous, and I am disgusted Because they do not keep Your promise close."

²⁵ Who is giving nourishment to all flesh, For His benignity is eonian;"

¹¹ May a man of slander no more become established in the land; A man of violence, may evil hunt him with jolt after jolt."

¹⁶ Opening Your hand And satisfying every living creature with benevolence.

²⁰ Guarding is Yahweh all who are loving Him, Yet all the wicked shall He exterminate."

⁹ Giving its nourishment to the beasts, To the raven's young when they should call."

⁴ Thus find grace and good intelligence In the eyes of Elohim and humanity.

¹⁸ While the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn's brightness, Advancing and becoming resplendent until the day is established,

¹⁸ A heart engrossed with lawless devisings, Feet hastening to run to evil,

³⁵ For whoever finds me will find life And shall gain hold of benevolence from Yahweh.

²⁷ The fear of Yahweh shall add days, Yet the years of the wicked shall be shortened."

² A good man shall gain hold of benevolence from Yahweh, Yet he shall condemn a scheming man."

³ The eyes of Yahweh are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good ones."

⁴ Yahweh has made everything for its own pertinent end, Yea even the wicked for the day of evil."

²⁰ For there is no righteous man in the earth Who does good and never sins.

²⁹ See, I found this alone:That the One, Elohim, made humanity upright, Yet they seek many devisings."

³ This is the evil in all that is done under the sun:That one destiny is for all; Moreover the heart of the sons of humanity is full of evil, And ravings are in their heart throughout their life, Yet after it, they are joined to the dead."

⁴ what is there to do further for My vineyard, that I have not done for it? For what reason, when I expect it to yield grapes, yet it is yielding stinking fruit?

²⁰ Go, my people! Come into your chambers, and close your doors about you. Hide for a little moment, till the menace shall pass."

¹⁸ O that you attended to My instructions! Then your welfare will become as a stream, and your righteousness as billows of the sea."

¹² I, I am He, your Comforter. Who are you, that you are fearing a mortal who is dying, and a son of Adam who as grass is drying?

⁹ For this is the waters of Noah to Me. As I swore off from passing the waters of Noah again over the earth, so I swore off from wrath over you further and from rebuking you."

¹⁸ And no further shall violence be heard in your land, devastation and breaking within your boundaries. And you call your walls "Salvation,and your gates "Praise."

¹⁰ Yet they rebelled and grieved His holy spirit, and He is turning into their enemy, and He fights against them."

¹⁶ For You are our Father, for Abraham does not know us, and Israel is not recognizing us. You are He, Yahweh, our Father, our Redeemer; from the eon is Your name."

¹⁴ Wash from evil your heart, O Jerusalem, That you may be saved, Till when do you lodge in your heart Thoughts of your strength?

²² For my people [are] foolish, me they have not known, Foolish sons [are] they, yea, they [are] not intelligent, Wise [are] they to do evil, And to do good they have not known." ²³ I looked [to] the land, and lo, waste and void, And unto the heavens, and their light is not."

²³ I looked [to] the land, and lo, waste and void, And unto the heavens, and their light is not." ²⁴ I have looked [to] the mountains, And lo, they are trembling. And all the hills moved themselves lightly."

²⁴ I have looked [to] the mountains, And lo, they are trembling. And all the hills moved themselves lightly." ²⁵ I have looked, and lo, man is not, And all fowls of the heavens have fled."

²⁵ I have looked, and lo, man is not, And all fowls of the heavens have fled." ²⁶ I have looked, and lo, The fruitful place [is] a wilderness, And all its cities have been broken down, Because of Yahweh, Because of the fierceness of His anger."

²⁶ I have looked, and lo, The fruitful place [is] a wilderness, And all its cities have been broken down, Because of Yahweh, Because of the fierceness of His anger." ²⁷ For thus said Yahweh:All the land is a desolation, but a completion I make not."

²⁷ For thus said Yahweh:All the land is a desolation, but a completion I make not." ²⁸ For this does the land mourn, And black have been the heavens above, because I have spoken--I have purposed, And I have not repented, Nor do I turn back from it."

⁷ As the digging of a well, is [for] its waters, So she has digged [for] her wickedness, Violence and spoil is heard in her, Before My face continually [are] sickness and smiting."

⁷ For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt--till this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Hearken to My voice,

¹¹ Therefore thus said Yahweh:Lo, I am bringing in unto them evil, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried unto Me, And I do not hearken unto them."

³ And You, O Yahweh, You have known me, You see me, and have tried my heart with You, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter." ⁴ Till when does the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Consumed have been beast and fowl, Because they said, `He does not see our latter end.'"

⁹ Crooked [is] the heart above all things, And it [is] incurable--who does know it?

⁸ And that nation has turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have repented of the evil that I thought to do to it." ⁹ And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant, ¹⁰ And it has done the evil thing in Mine eyes, So as not to hearken to My voice, Then I have repented of the good That I have spoken of doing to it."

¹⁹ `Put him at all to death did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah? Did he not fear Yahweh? yea, he appeases the face of Yahweh, and Yahweh repents concerning the evil that He spoke against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls."

² Thus said Yahweh:Found grace in the wilderness Has a people remaining from the sword Going to cause it to rest--Israel.

¹³ O dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Come in has your end, the measure of your dishonest gain."

⁸ Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I [am] against you, even I, And I have done in your midst judgments, Before the eyes of the nations."

³ And you have said:Mountains of Israel, Hear you a word of the Lord Yahweh:Thus said the Lord Yahweh To the mountains, and to the hills, To the streams, and to the valleys, Lo, I, I am bringing in against you a sword, And I have destroyed your high places."

² An end, come has the end on the four corners of the land." ³ Now [is] the end unto you, And I have sent Mine anger upon you, And judged you according to your ways, And set against you all your abominations." ⁴ And no pity on you has Mine eye, nor do I spare, For your ways against you I do set, And your abominations are in your midst, And you have known that I [am] Yahweh." ⁵ Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Evil, a single evil, lo, it has come." ⁶ An end has come, come has the end, It has waked for you, lo, it has come."

⁹ And He said to me, `Go in, and see the evil abominations that they are doing here.'"

¹² And He said unto me, `Have you seen, son of man, that which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, Yahweh is not seeing us, Yahweh has forsaken the land?'"

¹⁷ And He said unto me, `Have you seen, son of man? has it been a light thing to the house of Judah to do the abomination that they have done here, that they have filled the land with violence, and turn back to provoke Me to anger? and lo, they are putting forth the branch unto their nose!"

¹⁴ and these three men have been in its midst, Noah, Daniel, and Job--they by their righteousness deliver their own soul--an affirmation of the Lord Yahweh."

²⁰ and Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst:I live--an affirmation of the Lord Yahweh--neither son nor daughter do they deliver; they, by their righteousness, deliver their own soul."

¹⁶ By the abundance of your merchandise They have filled your midst with violence, And you do sin, And I thrust you from the mount of Elohim, And I destroy you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire."

¹¹ Say unto them, I live--an affirmation of the Lord Yahweh, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But--in the turning of the wicked from his way, And he has lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do you die, O house of Israel?

¹¹ For thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I--even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out."

²⁰ Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh to them:Lo, I--even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep."

¹⁶ the thresholds, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about them three, over-against the threshold, a ceiling of wood all round about, and the ground unto the windows and the covered windows,

³ Over-against the twenty [cubits] that are to the inner court, and over-against the pavement that [is] to the outer court, [is] gallery over-against gallery, in the three [storeys]."

¹ Hear the word of Yahweh, sons of Israel! For Yahweh has a contention with the dwellers of the land, for there is no truth and there is no kindness and there is no knowledge of Elohim in the land." ² Imprecation and dissimulation and murder and stealing and adultery breach forth in the land, and blood touches blood." ³ Therefore the land shall mourn, and every dweller in it shall be enfeebled with the field life, and with the moving animals on the ground, and with the flyers of the heavens; and even the fishes of the sea shall be gathered away."

¹⁴ for I will be as a black lion to Ephraim, and as a sheltered lion to the house of Judah. I, I, will tear to pieces and go and carry off, and there is no rescuing."

⁸ How shall I dispense to you, Ephraim? Shall I award you, Israel? How shall I dispense to you as Admah? Shall I make you as Zeboim? My heart is turned in Me; my comfortings are fervid together."

¹³ and tear your heart and not your garments, and return to Yahweh, your Elohim. For gracious and compassionate is He, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and He regrets over the evil."

² And he is saying, What are you seeing Amos? And I am saying, A crate of summer fruit. And Yahweh is saying to me, The end comes for My people Israel. I will not continue still to pass by them,

⁶ He Who is building His ascents in the heavens, and His structure over the earth--He founds it, He Who is calling to the waters of the sea, and is pouring them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh, Elohim of hosts, is His name!"

¹⁰ And the Elohim is seeing their doings, that they turn back from their evil way. And the Elohim is regretting over the evil which He spoke to do to them, and He does it not."

² Till when, Yahweh, do I implore, and You are not hearkening! I am crying out to You of violence, and You are not saving!"

⁴ Behold! it is made presumptuous:his soul is not upright in him. Yet the just one by his faith shall live.

⁸ Seeing that you loot many nations, all the rest of the peoples will loot you because of human blood and the violence to the land, to the town and all dwelling in it."

¹⁷ For the violence to Lebanon shall vex you, and the devastation to beasts shall dismay you, because of human blood and the violence to the land, to the town and all dwelling in it."

³ I will terminate human and beast. I will terminate the flyer of the heavens and the fish of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked. And I cut humanity off the surface of the ground, (averring is Yahweh)."

¹¹ Judah is treacherous, and an abhorrence is done in Israel and in Jerusalem, for Judah profanes the holy place of Yahweh, which He loves, and has possessed the daughter of a foreign el."

¹⁵ And did not He make you one? Yet the rest of the spirit is His. And you say, What! Is one seeking a seed of Elohim? Now you beware in your spirit, for with the wife of your youth you must not be treacherous."

⁶ For I, Yahweh your Elohim, do not alter; and you, sons of Jacob, are not finished."

²⁶ Look at the flying creatures of heaven, that they are not sowing, neither are they reaping, nor are they gathering into barns, and your heavenly Father is nourishing them. Are not you of more consequence than they?

²⁴ Everyone, then, who is hearing these sayings of Mine and is doing them shall be likened to a prudent man who builds his house on the rock." ²⁵ And the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blow and they lunge at that house, and it does not fall, for it had been founded on the rock." ²⁶ And everyone who is hearing these sayings of Mine and not doing them shall be likened to a stupid man who builds his house on sand." ²⁷ And the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blow and they dash against that house, and it falls: and the fall of it was great."

¹⁹ For out of the heart are coming wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, prostitutions, thefts, false testimonies, calumnies."

³⁸ For as they were in those days before the deluge, masticating and drinking and marrying and taking in marriage until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, ³⁹ and did not know till the deluge came and takes them all away, thus shall be the presence of the Son of Mankind."

²¹ For from inside, out of the heart of men, are going out evil reasonings, prostitutions, thefts, murders, ²² adulteries, greed, wickedness, guile, wantonness, a wicked eye, calumny, pride, imprudence." ²³ All these wicked inside things are going out; and those are contaminating the man."

⁶ Now they were both just in front of God, going in all the precepts and just statutes of the Lord, blameless."

³⁰ And the messenger said to her, "Fear not, Miriam, for you found favor with God. "

²⁵ And lo! there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name is Simeon. And this man is just and pious, anticipating the consolation of Israel, and holy spirit was on him."

⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"

²⁵ From which time the householder should be roused and latch the door, and you should be beginning to stand outside and to be knocking at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' and answering, he will be declaring to you, 'I am not acquainted with you! Whence are you?'"

²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they took out in marriage, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came and destroys them all."

⁴¹ And as He draws near, perceiving the city, He laments over it, ⁴² saying that, "If you knew, even you, and surely in this day, what is for your peace-! Yet now it was hid from your eyes,

⁵⁰ And lo! a man named Joseph, belonging to the counselors, and a good man and just"

⁵ His mother is saying to the servants, "Anything which He should be saying to you, do."

⁶ That which is begotten by the flesh is flesh, and that which is begotten by the spirit is spirit."

⁴⁰ and not willing are you to come to Me that you may have life.

⁴¹ Yet you are doing the works of your father.They say to Him, "We were not born of prostitution! One Father have we, God!" ⁴² Jesus, then, said to them, "If God were your Father, you would have loved Me. For out of God I came forth and am arriving. For neither have I come of Myself, but He commissions Me."

¹⁴ You are My friends, if you should be doing whatever I am directing you."

⁴⁶ who found favor before God. And he requests that he may find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

⁵¹ Stiff-necked and uncircumcised in your hearts and ears, you are ever clashing with the holy spirit! As your fathers, you also!"

¹¹ and he is beholding heaven open and a certain utensil descending, as a large sheet, with four edges, being let down on the earth, ¹² in which belonged all the quadrupeds and reptiles of the earth and the flying creatures of heaven.

²² Now they say, "Cornelius, a centurion, a man just and God-fearing, besides being attested by the whole nation of the Jews, is apprized by a holy messenger to send after you to come into his house, and to hear declarations from you."

¹⁷ For in it God's righteousness is being revealed, out of faith for faith, according as it is written: "Now the just one by faith shall be living."

²⁸ And according as they do not test God, to have Him in recognition, God gives them over to a disqualified mind, to do that which is not befitting, ²⁹ filled with all injustice, wickedness, evil, greed, distended with envy, murder, strife, guile, depravity, whisperers, ³⁰ vilifiers, detesters of God, outragers, proud, ostentatious, inventors of evil things, stubborn to parents, ³¹ unintelligent, perfidious, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:"

¹³ For not the listeners to law are just with God, but the doers of law shall be justified."

⁹ What, then? Are we privileged? Undoubtedly not, for we previously charge both Jews and Greeks to be all under sin, ¹⁰ according as it is written, that "Not one is just- not even one." ¹¹ Not one is understanding. Not one is seeking out God. ¹² All avoid Him: at the same time they were useless. Not one is doing kindness: there is not even one!" ¹³ A sepulcher opened is their throat. With their tongues they defraud."The venom of asps is under their lips." ¹⁴ Whose mouth with imprecation and bitterness is crammed. ¹⁵ Sharp are their feet to shed blood. ¹⁶ Bruises and wretchedness are in their ways, ¹⁷ And the way of peace they do not know." ¹⁸ There is no fear of God in front of their eyes. ¹⁹ Now we are aware that, whatever the law is saying, it is speaking to those under the law, that every mouth may be barred, and the entire world may become subject to the just verdict of God,

¹⁹ Now we are aware that, whatever the law is saying, it is speaking to those under the law, that every mouth may be barred, and the entire world may become subject to the just verdict of God, ²⁰ because, by works of law, no flesh at all shall be justified in His sight, for through law is the recognition of sin." ²¹ Yet now, apart from law, a righteousness of God is manifest (being attested by the law and the prophets), ²² yet a righteousness of God through Jesus Christ's faith, for all, and on all who are believing, for there is no distinction,

⁴ Now to the worker, the wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as a debt."

¹² Therefore, even as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and thus death passed through into all mankind, on which all sinned -" ¹³ for until law sin was in the world, yet sin is not being taken into account when there is no law;" ¹⁴ nevertheless death reigns from Adam unto Moses, over those also who do not sin in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him Who is about to be."

²¹ that, even as Sin reigns in death, thus Grace also should be reigning through righteousness, for life eonian, through Jesus Christ, our Lord."

²³ For the ration of Sin is death, yet the gracious gift of God is life eonian, in Christ Jesus, our Lord."

¹ Nothing, consequently, is now condemnation to those in Christ Jesus. Not according to flesh are they walking, but according to spirit, ² for the spirit's law of life in Christ Jesus frees you from the law of sin and death. ³ For what was impossible to the law, in which it was infirm through the flesh, did God, sending His own Son in the likeness of sin's flesh and concerning sin, He condemns sin in the flesh, ⁴ that the just requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who are not walking in accord with flesh, but in accord with spirit." ⁵ For those who are in accord with flesh are disposed to that which is of the flesh, yet those who are in accord with spirit to that which is of the spirit." ⁶ For the disposition of the flesh is death, yet the disposition of the spirit is life and peace, ⁷ because the disposition of the flesh is enmity to God, for it is not subject to the law of God, for neither is it able." ⁸ Now those who are in flesh are not able to please God. ⁹ Yet you are not in flesh, but in spirit, if so be that God's spirit is making its home in you. Now if anyone has not Christ's spirit, this one is not His." ¹⁰ Now if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is life because of righteousness." ¹¹ Now if the spirit of Him Who rouses Jesus from among the dead is making its home in you, He Who rouses Christ Jesus from among the dead will also be vivifying your mortal bodies because of His spirit making its home in you." ¹² Consequently, then, brethren, debtors are we, not to the flesh, to be living in accord with flesh, ¹³ for if you are living in accord with flesh, you are about to be dying. Yet if, in spirit, you are putting the practices of the body to death, you will be living."

²⁰ For to vanity was the creation subjected, not voluntarily, but because of Him Who subjects it, in expectation" ²¹ that the creation itself, also, shall be freed from the slavery of corruption into the glorious freedom of the children of God." ²² For we are aware that the entire creation is groaning and travailing together until now.

⁷ neither that Abraham's seed are all children, but "In Isaac shall your seed be called." ⁸ That is, that the children of the flesh, not these are the children of God, but the children of the promise is He reckoning for the seed."

⁶ Now if it is in grace, it is no longer out of works, else the grace is coming to be no longer grace. Now, if it is out of works, it is no longer grace, else the work is no longer work."

²⁹ For unregretted are the graces and the calling of God.

³⁹ A wife is bound by law for whatever time her husband is living. Yet if the husband should be reposing, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord."

¹⁰ Yet, in the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace, which is in me, did not come to be for naught, but more exceedingly than all of them toil I - yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me."

¹⁴ Do not become diversely yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵ Now what agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what part a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ Now what concurrence has a temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, according as God said, that I will be making My home and will be walking in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

¹⁸ and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty."

¹⁵ Now, when it delights God, Who severs me from my mother's womb and calls me through His grace,

¹¹ Now that in law no one is being justified with God is evident, for the just one by faith shall be living."

¹⁶ Now I am saying, Walk in spirit, and you should under no circumstances be consummating the lust of the flesh." ¹⁷ For the flesh is lusting against the spirit, yet the spirit against the flesh. Now these are opposing one another, lest you should be doing whatever you may want." ¹⁸ Now, if you are led by spirit, you are not still under law." ¹⁹ Now apparent are the works of the flesh, which are adultery, prostitution, uncleanness, wantonness, ²⁰ idolatry, enchantment, enmities, strife, jealousies, furies, factions, dissensions, sects, ²¹ envies, murders, drunkennesses, revelries, and the like of these, which, I am predicting to you, according as I predicted also, that those committing such things shall not be enjoying the allotment of the kingdom of God." ²² Now the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law." ²⁴ Now those of Christ Jesus crucify the flesh together with its passions, and lusts."

¹ And you, being dead to your offenses and sins, ² in which once you walked, in accord with the eon of this world, in accord with the chief of the jurisdiction of the air, the spirit now operating in the sons of stubbornness " ³ (among whom we also all behaved ourselves once in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the comprehension, and were, in our nature, children of indignation, even as the rest),

³⁰ And do not be causing sorrow to the holy spirit of God by which you are sealed for the day of deliverance.

⁹ and may be found in Him, not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God for faith:" ¹⁰ to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, conforming to His death, ¹¹ if somehow I should be attaining to the resurrection that is out from among the dead. ¹² Not that I already obtained, or am already perfected. Yet I am pursuing, if I may be grasping also that for which I was grasped also by Christ Jesus." ¹³ Brethren, not as yet am I reckoning myself to have grasped, yet one thing - forgetting, indeed, those things which are behind, yet stretching out to those in front - " ¹⁴ toward the goal am I pursuing for the prize of God's calling above in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Whoever, then, are mature, may be disposed to this, and if in anything you are differently disposed, this also shall God reveal to you."

¹⁹ Quench not the spirit.

¹⁸ May the Lord grant to him to be finding mercy from the Lord in that day! And how much he serves in Ephesus you know quite well.

¹¹ For the saving grace of God made its advent to all humanity,

³ For we also were once foolish, stubborn, deceived, slaves of various desires and gratifications, leading a life in malice and envy, detestable, hating one another."

⁷ that, being justified in that One's grace, we may be becoming enjoyers, in expectation, of the allotment of life eonian."

¹⁰ Wherefore, "I am disgusted with this generation, and said, 'Ever are they straying in heart; Yet they know not My ways.'"

¹⁷ Now with whom is He disgusted forty years? Was it not with those who sin, whose carcasses fall in the wilderness?

¹⁶ We may be coming, then, with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may be obtaining mercy and finding grace for opportune help."

¹⁷ in which God, intending more superabundantly to exhibit to the enjoyers of the allotment of the promise the immutability of His counsel, interposes with an oath, ¹⁸ that by two immutable matters, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong consolation, who are fleeing for refuge to lay hold of the expectation lying before us,

⁷ By faith Noah, being apprized concerning that which is not as yet being observed, being pious, constructs an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemns the world, and became an enjoyer of the allotment of the righteousness which accords with faith."

⁷ By faith Noah, being apprized concerning that which is not as yet being observed, being pious, constructs an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemns the world, and became an enjoyer of the allotment of the righteousness which accords with faith." ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, obeys, coming out into the place which he was about to obtain to enjoy as an allotment, and came out, not versed in where he is coming."

¹⁷ All good giving and every perfect gratuity is from above, descending from the Father of lights, in Whom there is no mutation or shadow from revolving motion."

⁵ you, also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, into a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, most acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. "

¹⁸ seeing that Christ also, for our sakes, once died concerning sins, the just for the sake of the unjust, that He may be leading us to God; being put to death, indeed, in flesh, yet vivified in spirit, ¹⁹ in which, being gone to the spirits in jail also, ²⁰ He heralds to those once stubborn, when the patience of God awaited in the days of Noah while the ark was being constructed, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through water,

²⁰ He heralds to those once stubborn, when the patience of God awaited in the days of Noah while the ark was being constructed, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through water,

⁷ Now the consummation of all is near. Be sane, then, and sober for prayers,

⁵ and spares not the ancient world, but guards Noah, an eighth, a herald of righteousness, bringing a deluge on the world of the irreverent;"

¹⁴ having the distended eyes of an adulteress, and that do not stop from sin, luring unstable souls, having a heart exercised by greed, children of a curse."

⁶ through which the then world, being deluged by water, perished." ⁷ Yet the heavens now, and the earth, by the same word, are stored with fire, being kept for the day of the judging and destruction of irreverent men."

¹⁰ Now the day of the Lord will be arriving as a thief, in which the heavens shall be passing by with a booming noise, yet the elements shall be dissolved by combustion, and the earth and the works in it shall be found." ¹¹ At these all, then, dissolving, to what manner of men must you belong in holy behavior and devoutness, ¹² hoping for and hurrying the presence of God's day, because of which the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and the elements decompose by combustion!"

¹⁶ for everything that is in the world, the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of living, is not of the Father, but is of the world."

³ For this is the love of God, that we may be keeping His precepts. And His precepts are not heavy, ⁴ for all that is begotten of God is conquering the world. And this is the conquest that conquers the world: our faith.

¹⁴ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesies to these also, saying, "Lo! the Lord came among ten thousand of His saints, ¹⁵ to do judging against all, and to expose all the irreverent concerning all their irreverent acts in which they are irreverent, and concerning all the hard words which irreverent sinners speak against Him."
