²² And you shall be hated by all because of My name. Yet he who endures to the consummation, he shall be saved."

²⁵ Sufficient is it for the disciple that he may be becoming as his teacher, and the slave as his lord. If they surname the householder Beezeboul, how much rather those of his household."

³⁵ For I came to pit a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." ³⁶ And the enemies of a man are those of his household. ³⁷ He who is fond of father or mother above Me is not worthy of Me. And he who is fond of son or daughter above Me is not worthy of Me."

⁴ Again he dispatches other slaves, saying, 'Say to those invited, "Lo! my luncheon have I made ready, my bulls and grain-fed animals have been sacrificed, and all is ready: Hither for the wedding festivities!"'"

¹¹ Now the king, entering to gaze at those lying back at table, perceived there a man who has not put on wedding apparel."

¹ Then likened shall be the kingdom of the heavens to ten virgins, who getting their torches, came out to meet the bridegroom."

¹⁰ Now, at their coming away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who are ready entered with him into the wedding festivities, and the door is locked."

³⁴ Then shall the King be declaring to those at His right, 'Hither, blessed of My Father! Enjoy the allotment of the kingdom made ready for you from the disruption of the world."

²⁶ Now at their eating, Jesus, taking the bread, and blessing, breaks it, and, giving to the disciples, said, "Take, eat. This is My body."

²⁶ Now at their eating, Jesus, taking the bread, and blessing, breaks it, and, giving to the disciples, said, "Take, eat. This is My body." ²⁷ And taking the cup and giving thanks, He gives it to them, saying, "Drink of it all, ²⁸ for this is My blood of the new covenant, that is shed for many for the pardon of sins."

⁶ And when the sun rises it is scorched, and, because of having no root, it is withered."

³ And at His being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at His lying down, a woman came, having an alabaster vase of veritable nard attar, costly. And crushing the alabaster vase, she pours it down on His head."

¹⁰ And the messenger said to them, "Fear not, for lo! I am bringing you an evangel of great joy which will be for the entire people,

⁵¹ Are you supposing that I came along to give peace to the earth? No, I am saying to you, but rather division, ⁵² For from now on there will be five in one home divided, three against two, and two against three will be divided, ⁵³ father against son and son against father, and mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

³⁴ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! killing the prophets and pelting with stones those who have been dispatched to her! How many times do I want to assemble your children in the manner a hen does her brood under her wings, and you will not!"

²⁰ And rising, he came to his father. "Now, at his being still far away, his father perceived him and has compassion, and running, falls on his neck and fondly kisses him."

²² Yet the father said to his slaves, 'Quick! Bring forth the first robe, and put it on him, and give him a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet."

¹⁹ And, taking bread, giving thanks, He breaks it and gives to them, saying, "Take. This is My body, given for your sakes. This do for a recollection of Me."

³⁰ And it occurred, at His reclining at table with them, taking the bread, He blesses it, and, breaking, He handed it to them." ³¹ Now their eyes were opened up, and they recognize Him. And He became unapparent to them." ³² And they say to one another, "Was not our heart burning in us as He spoke to us on the road and as He opened up to us on the road and as He opened up to us the scriptures?

⁴⁴ No one can come to Me if ever the Father Who sends Me should not be drawing him. And I shall be raising him in the last day.

⁶⁷ Jesus, then, said to the twelve, "Not you also are wanting to go away!" ⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we come away? Declarations of life eonian hast Thou!" ⁶⁹ And we believe and know that Thou art the Holy One of God."

¹¹ I am the Shepherd ideal. The ideal shepherd is laying down his soul for the sake of the sheep.

²⁸ And I am giving them life eonian, and they should by no means be perishing for the eon, and no one shall be snatching them out of My hand." ²⁹ My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to be snatching them out of My Father's hand."

³ Mary, then, taking a pound troy of veritable nard attar, very precious, rubs the feet of Jesus and wipes off His feet with her hair. Now the house was filled with the odor of the attar."

³² And I, if I should be exalted out of the earth, shall be drawing all to Myself."

² In My Father's house are many abodes; yet if not I would have told you, for I am going to make ready a place for you." ³ And if I should be going and making ready a place for you, I am coming again and I will be taking you along to Myself, that where I am, you also may be."

¹⁴ You are My friends, if you should be doing whatever I am directing you." ¹⁵ No longer am I terming you slaves, for the slave is not aware what his lord is doing. Yet I have declared you friends, for all that I hear from My Father I make known to you."

³⁹ Now Nicodemus also came (who came to Him at night at first), bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds troy."

¹⁵ When, then, they lunch, Jesus is saying to Simon Peter, "Simon of John, are you loving Me more than these?He is saying to Him, "Yes, Lord, Thou art aware that I am fond of Thee!He is saying to him, "Graze My lambkins!"

¹⁵ When, then, they lunch, Jesus is saying to Simon Peter, "Simon of John, are you loving Me more than these?He is saying to Him, "Yes, Lord, Thou art aware that I am fond of Thee!He is saying to him, "Graze My lambkins!" ¹⁶ He is saying to him again a second time, "Simon of John, are you loving Me?He is saying to Him, "Yes, Lord, Thou art aware that I am fond of Thee!He is saying to him, "Shepherd My sheep!" ¹⁷ He is saying to him the third time, "Simon of John, are you fond of Me?Peter was sorry that He said to him the third time "Are you fond of Me?and he is saying to Him, "Lord, Thou art aware of all things! Thou knowest that I am fond of Thee.And Jesus is saying to him, "Graze My little sheep!"

¹⁷ He is saying to him the third time, "Simon of John, are you fond of Me?Peter was sorry that He said to him the third time "Are you fond of Me?and he is saying to Him, "Lord, Thou art aware of all things! Thou knowest that I am fond of Thee.And Jesus is saying to him, "Graze My little sheep!"

²² establishing the souls of the disciples, besides entreating them to remain in the faith and saying that, "Through many afflictions must we be entering into the kingdom of God."

⁷ Now we, terminating the voyage, from Tyre descended to Ptolemais, and, greeting the brethren, we remain one day with them."

¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and be making no provision for the lusts of the flesh."

¹⁰ We are stupid because of Christ, yet you are prudent in Christ. We are weak, yet you are strong. You are glorious, yet we are dishonored." ¹¹ Until the present hour we are hungering also and thirsting, and are naked and are buffeted and unsettled and toiling, working with our own hands." ¹² Being reviled, we are blessing; being persecuted, we are bearing with it;" ¹³ being calumniated, we are entreating. As the offscourings of the world we became, the scum of all things, hitherto."

¹ Become imitators of me, according as I also am of Christ."

²³ For I accepted from the Lord, what I give over also to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which He was given up, took bread, ²⁴ and giving thanks, breaks it and said, "This is My body, broken for your sakes. This do for a recollection of Me." ²⁵ Similarly, the cup also, after dining, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you are drinking, for a recollection of Me." ²⁶ For as often as you are eating this bread and drinking this cup, you are announcing the Lord's death until He should be coming."

¹⁴ Now thanks be to God, Who always gives us a triumph in Christ, and is manifesting the odor of His knowledge through us in every place, ¹⁵ for we are a fragrance of Christ to God, in those who are being saved and in those who are perishing:" ¹⁶ to these, indeed, an odor of death for death, yet to those an odor of life for life. And for this who is competent?

²¹ For the One not knowing sin, He makes to be a sin offering for our sakes that we may be becoming God's righteousness in Him."

² for I am jealous over you with a jealousy of God. For I betroth you to one Man, to present a chaste virgin to Christ. "

² for I am jealous over you with a jealousy of God. For I betroth you to one Man, to present a chaste virgin to Christ. " ³ Yet I fear lest somehow, as the serpent deludes Eve by its craftiness, your apprehensions should be corrupted from the singleness and pureness which is in Christ. "

²⁶ Yet the Jerusalem above is free, who is mother of us all."

²⁹ But even as then, the one generated according to flesh persecuted the one according to spirit, thus also it is now."

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may be giving you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the realization of Him, ¹⁸ the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, for you to perceive what is the expectation of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of the enjoyment of His allotment among the saints,

⁶ and rouses us together and seats us together among the celestials, in Christ Jesus,

¹⁷ Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith, that you, having been rooted and grounded in love,

²⁵ Husbands, be loving your wives according as Christ also loves the ecclesia, and gives Himself up for its sake, ²⁶ that He should be hallowing it, cleansing it in the bath of the water (with His declaration),

²⁶ that He should be hallowing it, cleansing it in the bath of the water (with His declaration), ²⁷ that He should be presenting to Himself a glorious ecclesia, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that it may be holy and flawless."

²⁷ that He should be presenting to Himself a glorious ecclesia, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that it may be holy and flawless."

²⁴ Grace be with all who are loving our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption! Amen!

⁹ Wherefore, also, God highly exalts Him, and graces Him with the name that is above every name, ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should be bowing, celestial and terrestrial and subterranean,

¹² So that, my beloved, according as you always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, with fear and trembling, be carrying your own salvation into effect, ¹³ for it is God Who is operating in you to will as well as to work for the sake of His delight.

³ for we are the circumcision who are offering divine service in the spirit of God, and are glorying in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in flesh."

⁸ But, to be sure, I am also deeming all to be a forfeit because of the superiority of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, because of Whom I forfeited all, and am deeming it to be refuse, that I should be gaining Christ, 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:"

²¹ Who will transfigure the body of our humilation, to conform it to the body of His glory, in accord with the operation which enables Him even to subject all to Himself."

⁴ Be rejoicing in the Lord always! Again, I will declare, be rejoicing!"

¹⁸ Now I am collecting all, and am superabounding. I have been filled full, receiving from Epaphroditus the things from you, an odor fragrant, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God."

¹⁴ Now over all these put on love, which is the tie of maturity." ¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ be arbitrating in your hearts, for which you were called also in one body; and become thankful." ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ be making its home in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves; in psalms, in hymns, in spiritual songs, singing, with grace in your hearts to God." ¹⁷ And everything, whatsoever you may be doing, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God, the Father, through Him." ¹⁸ Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord."

¹⁵ yet, if I should be tardy, that you may be perceiving how one must behave in God's house, which is the ecclesia of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth." ¹⁶ And avowedly great is the secret of devoutness, which was manifested in flesh, justified in spirit, seen by messengers, heralded among the nations, believed in the world, taken up in glory."

¹² that you may not be becoming dull. Now be imitators of those who through faith and patience are enjoying the allotment of the promises.

⁴ By faith Abel offers to God more of a sacrifice than Cain, through which he was testified to that he is just at God's testifying to his approach presents, and through it, dying, he is still speaking." ⁵ By faith Enoch was transferred, so as not to be acquainted with death, and was not found, because God transfers him. For before his transference he is attested to have pleased God well." ⁶ Now apart from faith it is impossible to be well pleasing, for he who is coming to God must believe that He is, and is becoming a Rewarder of those who are seeking Him out." 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." ⁹ By faith he sojourns in the land of promise as in an alien land, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the joint enjoyers of the allotment of the same promise. " ¹⁰ For he waited for the city having foundations, whose Artificer and Architect is God. "

¹⁰ For he waited for the city having foundations, whose Artificer and Architect is God. " ¹¹ By faith Sarah herself also obtained power for the disruption of seed, and brought forth beyond the period of her prime, since she deems the Promiser faithful;" ¹² wherefore, also, were begotten by one, and these of one who is deadened, according as the constellations of heaven in multitude, and as the sand beside the sea shore innumerable." ¹³ In faith died all these, not being requited with the promises, but perceiving them ahead and saluting them, and avowing that they are strangers and expatriates on the earth. " ¹⁴ For those who are saying such things are disclosing that they are seeking for a country of their own. ¹⁵ And, if, indeed, they remembered that from which they came out, they might have had occasion to go back." ¹⁶ Yet now they are craving a better, that is, a celestial; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be invoked as their God, for He makes ready for them a city." ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when undergoing trial, has offered Isaac, and he who receives the promises offered the only-begotten, ¹⁸ he to whom it was spoken that "In Isaac shall your seed be called, ¹⁹ reckoning that God is able to be rousing him from among the dead also; whence he recovers him in a parable also. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blesses Jacob and Esau concerning that which is impending also. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blesses each of the sons of Joseph, and worships, leaning on the top of his staff." ²² By faith Joseph, at his decease, remembers concerning the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gives directions concerning his bones." ²³ By faith Moses, being born, was hid three months by his fathers, because they perceived that the little boy was handsome, and they were not afraid of the mandate or the king." ²⁴ By faith Moses, becoming great, disowns the term "son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ preferring rather to be maltreated with the people of God than to have a temporary enjoyment of sin, ²⁶ deeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked away to the reward." ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the fury of the king, for he is staunch as seeing the Invisible." ²⁸ By faith he has the passover made and the pouring of blood against the door jambs, lest the exterminator of the first-born may come into contact with them." ²⁹ By faith they crossed the Red Sea as through dry land, attempting which, the Egyptians were swallowed up." ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fall, being surrounded on seven days." ³¹ By faith Rahab, the prostitute, perished not with the stubborn, receiving the spies with peace." ³² And what still may I be saying? For the time will be lacking for me to relate concerning Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, besides Samuel also, and the prophets, ³³ who, through faith, subdue kingdoms, work righteousness, happened on promises, bar the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quench the power of fire, fled from the edge of the sword, were invigorated from infirmity, became strong in battle, rout the camps of aliens, ³⁵ women obtained their dead by resurrection. Now others are flogged, not anticipating deliverance, that they may be happening upon a better resurrection." ³⁶ Yet others got a trial of scoffings and scourgings, yet still more of bonds and jail." ³⁷ They are stoned, they are sawn, they are tried, they died, murdered by the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, in want, afflicted, maltreated" ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), straying in wildernesses and mountains and caves and the holes of the earth." ³⁹ And these all, being testified to through faith, are not requited with the promise of God concerning us" ⁴⁰ (the looking forward is to something better), that, apart from us, they may not be perfected."

¹ Surely, in consequence, then, we also, having so vast a cloud of witnesses encompassing us, putting off every impediment and the popular sin, may be racing with endurance the contest lying before us,

⁷ Be remembering those of your leaders who speak to you the word of God, contemplating the sequel of their behavior, whose faith be imitating."

²¹ Abraham, our father, was he not justified by works when offering up his son Isaac on the altar?

²⁵ Now likewise, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when entertaining the messengers and ejecting them by a different way?

¹⁰ Be taking, my brethren, the example of suffering evil and patience you have: the prophets who speak in the name of the Lord."

⁸ Whom, not perceiving, you are loving; in Whom, not seeing at present, yet believing, you are exulting with joy unspeakable and glorious,

⁴ Whom approaching, a living Stone, having been rejected indeed by men, yet chosen by God, held in honor, 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. "

⁷ To you, then, who are believing, is the honor, yet to the unbelieving: "A Stone which is rejected by the builders, this came to be for the head of the corner,

⁴ but the hidden human of the heart, in the incorruptibility of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in God's sight, is costly."

⁶ (as Sarah obeys Abraham, calling him "lord,whose children you became), doing good and not fearing dismay in anything."

¹⁴ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all that are in Christ. Amen!

³ So has all of His divine power, that tends to life and devoutness, been presented to us through the recognition of Him Who calls us to His own glory and virtue;" ⁴ through which have been presented to us the precious and greatest promises, that through these you may become participants of the divine nature, fleeing from the corruption which is in the world by lust."

¹⁹ Out of us they come, but they were not of us, for if they were of us, they would have remained with us. But it was that they may be manifested that they are not all of us. "

¹ Perceive what manner of love the Father has given us, that we may be called children of God! And we are! Therefore the world does not know us, for it did not know Him."

²⁰ Lo! I stand at the door and am knocking. If ever anyone should be hearing My voice and opening the door, I will also be coming in to him and dining with him, and he with Me. "

¹¹ And I perceived, and I hear a sound as of many messengers around the throne and the animals and the elders, and their number was ten thousand ten thousand and a thousand thousand, ¹² saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lambkin slain To get power and riches and wisdom and strength And honor and glory and blessing!" ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all in them, I hear also saying, "To Him Who is sitting on the throne-To the Lambkin-Be blessing and honor and glory and might For the eons of the eons!"

¹⁷ seeing that the throne-centered Lambkin shall be shepherding them, and shall be guiding them to living springs of water, and every tear shall God be brushing away from their eyes."

³ And another messenger came and was standing at the altar, having a golden thurible. And much incense was given him that he shall be imparting to the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne." ⁴ And the fumes of the incense with the prayers of the saints ascended out of the messenger's hand before God.

⁴ These are they who were not polluted with women, for they are celibates. These are those who are following the Lambkin wherever It should be going. These are bought from mankind, a firstfruit to God and the Lambkin."

⁷ We may be rejoicing and exulting and will be giving glory to Him, for the wedding of the Lambkin came, and Its bride makes herself ready." ⁸ And to her it was granted that she may be clothed in clean, resplendent cambric, for the cambric is the just awards of the saints."
