1 Corinthians 6 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ DARE any of you, having a suit with his brother, to litigate before the evil, and not before the saints? ² Or know you not that the saints shall judge the world?

For why do you not bear injury? and why do you not suffer fraud? ⁸ But you injure, and you defraud, [and that] also your brethren! ⁹ Or, know you not that the unjust the kingdom of Aloha cannot inherit?

²⁵ Jeshu saith to her, I am the Resurrection and the Life; * and (he) who believeth in me, although he will die, shall live. [* Eno-no Nuchoma Va-chayee. The appellative Nuchoma is commonly rendered, "the consolation." The Syriac verb nachem is either consolatus est, or resurrexit. The rising of the dead was well called "the consolation!"] ²⁶ And every one who liveth and believeth in me, for ever shall not die. Believest thou this?

¹⁸ For the wrath of Aloha is revealed from heaven against all the unrighteousness and depravity of the sons of men, who the truth in unrighteousness detain.

²⁴ Because of this Aloha delivered them up to the unclean lusts of their hearts, that they would debase their bodies among them.

²⁶ WHEREFORE Aloha delivered them up to passions of vileness: for their females changed the use of their nature, and to what is not natural were used. ²⁷ And also their males likewise left the natural use of their females, and were inflamed with concupiscence one with another, and male with male wrought shamefulness, and the just retribution for their perverseness in themselves received.

³ For if some of them believed not, would their unbelief abolish the faithfulness of Aloha? ⁴ Not so: for Aloha is true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be just in thy words, and triumph when they judge thee.

⁶ Not so; otherwise how shall Aloha judge the world?

²⁴ and all are justified by grace freely, and (that) through the redemption which is in Jeshu Meshiha,

²⁶ within the space which Aloha hath given to us in his patience, unto the manifestation of his righteousness which (is) in this time: that he might be just, and might justify in righteousness him who is in the faith of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ²⁷ Where, then, is boasting? It is abolished. By what law? of works? No, but by the law of faith. ²⁸ We comprehend, therefore, that by faith man is justified, and not by the works of the law. ²⁹ Is Aloha of the Jihudoyee only, and not of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also. ³⁰ Because one is Aloha, who justifieth the circumcision by faith, also the uncircumcision by the same faith. ³¹ Do we therefore the law abolish by faith? Not so, but the law itself we establish.

⁵ but to him who worketh not, but believeth only in him who justifieth sinners, his faith is reckoned to him for righteousness.

¹ BECAUSE, then, we are justified by faith, we have peace with Aloha through our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁹ how much more, then, shall we be now justified through his blood, and by him be delivered from wrath?

² Not so. For how shall they who are dead to* sin live yet in it? [* Or, by, on account of, sin: the particle admitting of either meaning. Compare the Syr. Apoc. 20:11; 1Pe 1:5; 2Co 8:14.]

⁴ For we are buried with him by baptism into death; that as Jeshu Meshiha arose from among the dead by the glory of his Father, so also we in a new life shall walk. ⁵ For if together we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so also in his resurrection shall we be. ⁶ For we know that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that more we should not serve sin. ⁷ For he who is dead is set free from sin. ⁸ If then we are dead with the Meshiha, we believe that with him, with the Meshiha, we shall live:

¹² Let not sin then reign in your dead body, as that you may obey the lusts of it:

¹² Let not sin then reign in your dead body, as that you may obey the lusts of it: ¹³ nor prepare your members the instruments of iniquity unto sin, but prepare yourselves for Aloha, as men who from the dead have been made alive, and your members instruments to be for the righteousness of Aloha.

¹⁵ What, then, shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? Not so.

¹⁷ But praise to Aloha that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you have been delivered. ¹⁸ And when you were made free from sin, you became obedient to righteousness. ¹⁹ As among men I speak, because of the infirmity of your flesh, that as you have prepared your members for the service of uncleanness and of iniquity, so also now prepare ye your members for the service of righteousness and of holiness.

¹⁹ As among men I speak, because of the infirmity of your flesh, that as you have prepared your members for the service of uncleanness and of iniquity, so also now prepare ye your members for the service of righteousness and of holiness.

⁴ And now, my brethren, you also are dead to the law, through the body of the Meshiha, that you should be married to another, (namely, to) him who rose from the dead, that you may render fruit unto Aloha.

⁷ What then, say we the law is sin? Not so. But sin I had not learned (to know) but by the law: for I had not known concupiscence (to be sinful), but (by) the law, which hath said, Thou shalt not covet.

¹³ The good, then, unto me, unto death was made? Not so. But sin, that it might be seen what sin is, by the good (law) effected death in me, that sin might be the more condemned by the commandment. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual; [Da-ruch, "Of the spirit."] but I am carnal, and sold unto sin.

¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead dwell in you, he who raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead will also make alive your dead bodies, on account of his Spirit who dwelleth in you.

³⁰ But whom he before signified, them he called; and whom he called, them he justified; and whom he justified, them he glorified.

³³ Who is against the chosen of Aloha? Aloha justifieth.

¹ I BESEECH then of you, my brethren, by the mercies of Aloha, that you present [Or, make to stand, constitute.] your bodies a sacrifice, living and holy and acceptable unto Aloha, in a rational* service. [* Meliltho. Compare the use of the corresponding Chaldee word in the Targum of Onkelos on Gen 2:7, where the divine afflatus is described as creating in man ruch memalla, "a speaking or rational spirit."]

⁵ so also we who are many are one body in the Meshiha; but we are each of us members one of another.

¹⁷ And repay to no man evil for evil, but be careful to do good before all men. ¹⁸ And if possible, as much as is in you, with all men make peace. ¹⁹ And avenge not yourselves, my beloved, but give place unto wrath; for it is written, that if thou execute not judgment for thyself, I will execute thy judgment, saith Aloha.

⁷ For there is no one of us who to himself liveth and no one who to himself dieth. ⁸ For if we live, to our Lord we live; and if we die, to our Lord we die: and if we live, then, or if we die, our Lord's are we. ⁹ Because of this also the Meshiha died and lived and arose, that he might be Lord of the dead and of the living.

¹⁴ For I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jeshu, that a thing which is unclean from itself is not (so); but to him who judgeth of any thing that it is polluted, to him only it is polluted. ¹⁵ But if on account of meat thou grievest thy brother, thou walkest not in love: destroy not by thy meat him on account of whom the Meshiha died. ¹⁶ Let not our good [Toböthan, plural.] (things) be blasphemed. ¹⁷ For the kingdom of Aloha is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Spirit of Holiness.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of Aloha is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Spirit of Holiness. ¹⁸ For who in these things serveth the Meshiha pleaseth Aloha, and before men is approved. ¹⁹ Now, after peace let us pursue,[Run.] and after the edification of one another, ²⁰ and not for the sake of meats undo the work of Aloha. For each thing is pure, yet evil is it to the man who eateth with offence. ²¹ It is well not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing by which our brother is offended. ²² Hast thou confidence? In thyself retain it before Aloha. Blessed is he who condemneth [Judgeth.] not himself in what he distinguisheth. ²³ For he who doubteth and eateth is made guilty, because he eateth not with confidence. For every thing that is not of confidence is sin.

² to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, the called, and the saints who in Jeshu Meshiha are sanctified; and to all them who invoke the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in every place, theirs and ours:

³⁰ But you are of him in Jeshu Meshiha, who hath been made unto us wisdom, of Aloha, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

¹⁶ KNOW YOU not that you are the temple of Aloha, and (that) the Spirit of Aloha inhabiteth in you?

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. Whoever among you supposeth himself wise in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise.

¹⁰ We are fools for the sake of the Meshiha, but we are wise in the Meshiha; we are the weak, but you are the mighty; you are glorified, and we abased.

¹⁴ Not as to shame you write I these things, but as my beloved children I admonish (you).

¹ Fornication is commonly reported among you; and such fornication as is not heard among the Heathens, that the son should take the wife of his father.

¹⁰ but I do not say with fornicators who are in this world, nor speak I concerning the covetous,[Or, the oppressive.] or the rapacious, or the servers of idols; otherwise you would be obligated from the world also to go forth. ¹¹ But this which I have written to you, Be not mixed, (is,) If any one who is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous,[An oppressor.] or a worshipper of idols, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or rapacious, with one who is such as he not to eat bread. ¹² For what had I to judge those who are without? But you judge those who are within;

¹ DARE any of you, having a suit with his brother, to litigate before the evil, and not before the saints? ² Or know you not that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world by you is judged, are you not worthy to judge small matters?[Or, judgments.] ³ Know you not that you are to judge angels? How much more those (matters) which are of this world? ⁴ But if you have matters to be judged regarding the world, those who are little-esteemed [Or, contemptible.] in the church make you to sit in judgment.

⁶ But a brother with his brother litigates, and, moreover, before those who are unbelievers! ⁷ Now, therefore, you make yourselves guilty while you have litigation one with another. For why do you not bear injury? and why do you not suffer fraud?

⁷ Now, therefore, you make yourselves guilty while you have litigation one with another. For why do you not bear injury? and why do you not suffer fraud?

⁹ Or, know you not that the unjust the kingdom of Aloha cannot inherit? Do not err; neither fornicators, nor the servers of idols, nor adulterers, nor corrupters, nor liers with men, ¹⁰ nor the oppressive, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, the kingdom of Aloha can inherit.

¹³ Food is for the belly, and the belly for food; but Aloha will abolish them both. But the body was not for fornication, but for our Lord, and our Lord for the body.

¹⁵ Know you not that your bodies are members of the Meshiha? Shall one take a member of the Meshiha to make it a member of a harlot? Never!

¹⁵ Know you not that your bodies are members of the Meshiha? Shall one take a member of the Meshiha to make it a member of a harlot? Never! ¹⁶ Know you not that whosoever attacheth to a harlot is one body? For it is said, The two shall be one body.

¹⁹ Or, know you not that your body is the temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who dwelleth in you, (even) Him whom you have received from Aloha? And you are not your own,

²³ With a price are you bought; you will not be servants of men.

⁴ Concerning the meat of the sacrifices of idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

⁷ But not in every man is this knowledge; for there are some who in their conscience until now (believe) that, with respect to idols, as of that which hath been sacrificed we eat. And because of weakness their conscience is defiled. ⁸ But meat doth not bring us nigh to Aloha. For if we eat, we excel not; nor if we eat not, are we deficient. ⁹ But beware that this your power become not a stumbling-block to the infirm ones. ¹⁰ For if a man shall see thee in whom is knowledge reclining in the house of idols, will not his conscience, because he is weak, be confirmed to eat that which is sacrificed, ¹¹ and he will perish through thy knowledge? he who is weak, and on account of whom the Meshiha died. ¹² And if so you transgress against your brethren, and wound their weak consciences, do you not transgress against the Meshiha? ¹³ On this account, if meat cause my brother to stumble, I will never (more) eat flesh, that I may not cause my brother to stumble.

¹² And if others have this power over you, much more have we. But we are not used in this power; but we bear all, lest in any thing we should hinder the gospel of the Meshiha.

²⁴ Know you not, that they who run in the course, run all, but one taketh to him the victory? So run, that you may take hold.

²⁷ but my body I subdue and make subservient, lest when to others I shall have preached, I my very self shall be rejected.

³ and all of them ate one spiritual food,[Food of the Spirit.] ⁴ and all of them drank one spiritual drink; [Drink of the Spirit.] for they drank of that spiritual Rock [That Rock of the Spirit.] which went with them, - but that Rock was the Meshiha himself. ⁵ But not with many of them was Aloha pleased; for they fell in the desert.

²³ Every thing is lawful for me, but every thing is not expedient; every thing is lawful, but every thing doth not edify. ²⁴ Let no man seek his own (only), but every man also (the profit) of his neighbour. ²⁵ Whatsoever is sold in the shambles eat, without inquiry on account of conscience: ²⁶ for the earth is the Lord's, and its fulness. ²⁷ But if a man of the Heathens invite you, and you be willing to go, whatever is set before you eat, without inquiry on account of conscience. ²⁸ But, if one tell you, This is of a sacrifice, eat not, for his sake who hath told you, and on account of conscience; ²⁹ but I say, the conscience, not yours, but his who told you. But why is my liberty to be ruled by the conscience of others? ³⁰ But if I use (these things) by grace, why am I calumniated concerning that for which I give thanks? ³¹ Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of Aloha.

³¹ Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of Aloha. ³² Give no offence to Jihudoyee, or to Aramoyee, or to the church of Aloha. ³³ As also I in every thing please all men, not seeking what is expedient for myself, but what is expedient for the many, that they may be saved.

³ But I would that you know that the Meshiha is the head of every man; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Meshiha is Aloha.

¹⁴ Does not nature itself teach you, that when a man's hair standeth,[Koyem.] it is a disgrace to him?

² that you were Heathens, and unto idols which have no voice you were led without discernment.

¹³ For we all by one Spirit into one body are baptized; whether Jihudoyee or Aramoyee; whether servants or sons of freedom; and all of us have imbibed one Spirit.

²⁷ But you are the body of the Meshiha, and members in your place.

³³ Because Aloha is not of tumult, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

¹⁵ But we are also found false witnesses of Aloha; for we have testified of Aloha that he hath raised the Meshiha, while he hath not raised (him). ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, Meshiha also hath not risen ¹⁷ and if Meshiha hath not risen, your faith is made void and you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ And already have they too who have slept in Meshiha perished. ¹⁹ And if in this life only we hope in the Meshiha, more miserable are we than all men. ²⁰ BUT now hath the Meshiha risen from among the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who sleep.

²³ every one in his order: the first-fruits was the Meshiha; afterward they who are of the Meshiha at his coming.

³³ Mistake not; for evil narrations corrupt well-disposed [Reyonee basimee.] minds. ³⁴ AWAKEN your hearts rightly, and sin not; for there are some who have not the knowledge of Aloha; to your shame I say it.

⁵⁰ But this I say, my brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; nor doth corruption inherit incorruption.

¹ BUT concerning what is [to be] collected for the saints, as I have instructed the churches of Galatia, so also do you.

¹⁵ But I entreat of you, my brethren, for the house of Stephano, because you know they are the first-fruits of Akaia, and have disposed themselves for the service of the saints,

¹⁴ And we know that He who raised up our Lord Jeshu, will by Jeshu raise us also, and will present us with you unto himself.

¹⁸ While we look not on these which are seen, but at those which are unseen. For the seen are of time, but the unseen are of eternity.

¹⁵ And for every man he died, that they who live should not live to themselves, but to him who on their behalf died and arose.

¹⁴ And be not sons of the yoke with them who believe not. For what participation hath righteousness with iniquity? Or what commixture hath the light with darkness?

¹⁶ Or what union hath the temple of Aloha with (that) of demons? For you are the temple of Aloha the living; as it is written, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.

² for I am zealous towards you with the zeal of Aloha; for I have betrothed you to one man, a pure virgin, whom I would bring unto the Meshiha.

²¹ and lest, when I come to you, my God may humiliate me, and I may have to lament over many who have sinned, and have not repented of the uncleanness and of the fornication and of the lasciviousness which they have committed.

¹⁶ because we know that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jeshu Meshiha, also in him, in Jeshu Meshiha, have believed, that from the faith of the Meshiha we may be justified, and not from the works of the law; because from the works of the law shall no flesh be justified: ¹⁷ IF, while we seek to be justified through the Meshiha, we also ourselves are found sinners, is Jeshu Meshiha therefore the minister of sin? It cannot be.

²⁰ and from henceforth I live not, but in me liveth Meshiha; and this that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of Aloha, who loved me and gave himself for me.

⁸ For Aloha who knew before that he would justify the Gentiles through faith, evangelized before unto Abraham; as saith the holy scripture: In thee all the nations shall be blessed:

¹¹ But that man is not justified by the law before Aloha, this maketh manifest: because it is written, The just by faith shall live.

¹³ But us hath the Meshiha bought from the curse of the law, and hath been made a curse instead of us: for it is written, Accursed is every one who is hanged on the wood:

²¹ Is the law therefore against the promise of Aloha? Impossible: for if a law had been given which could make [guilty man] to live, certainly righteousness would have been by the law.

²⁴ The law therefore was our conductor [Or, tutor.] to the Meshiha, that we might be justified by faith.

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

²¹ envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all that are like these; and they who do them, as I told you before, so now I tell you, the kingdom of Aloha do not inherit. ²² But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, prolonging of the spirit, benignity, goodness, fidelity, meekness, patience; ²³ against these the law is not set.

¹⁴ But to me let it not be that I shall glory except in the cross of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, by which the world is crucified unto me, and I am crucified to the world.

¹⁹ and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints, and what is the inheritance of his power in us who believe, according to the operation of the might of his power, ²⁰ which he wrought in the Meshiha, and raised him from among the dead, and set him at his right hand in heaven,

²² and subjected every thing beneath his feet: and Him who is over all he hath given to be the head of the church, ²³ which is His body, the completeness of Him who all in all completeth.

¹ You also who were dead in your sins and in your transgressions, ² in which from the first you walked according to the worldliness of this age,[Olmoyutheh dolmo hono.] and according to the will of the prince of the power of the air, of that Spirit who urgeth [D'methchaphto.] in the sons of disobedience; ³ in those works in which we also walked from the first in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of our flesh and of our mind, and were the sons of wrath fully as the rest.

²¹ and in him is the whole building increased and enlargeth into a holy temple in the Lord, ²² while you also in him are being builded the dwelling of Aloha by the Spirit.

³ And be diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, ⁴ that you may be in one body and in one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling.

¹² for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the (church of the) Meshiha,

¹⁵ but be confirmed in our love, that whatever is ours may increase in the Meshiha, who is the head, ¹⁶ by whom the whole body is increased and compacted in all the limbs, according to the gift which is given in proportion to every member for the increase of the body itself, that in love its structure might be completed. ¹⁷ BUT this I say and testify in the Lord, that from henceforth you may not walk as the rest of the Gentiles, who walk in the vanity of their minds, ¹⁸ and are darkened in their understandings, and are alienated from the life of Aloha on account of their ignorance,[Or, because they have not knowledge.] and on account of the blindness of their hearts; ¹⁹ who are cut off from their hope, and have delivered themselves up to lasciviousness and to the working of all uncleanness in their greediness. ²⁰ But you have not thus learned the Meshiha, ²¹ if really you have heard him and learned as the truth is in Jeshu; ²² but that you put from you your former habitudes, the old man who is corrupt in deceitful lusts,

²⁸ And let him who hath stolen henceforth steal not, but labour with his hands and do good, that he may have to give to him who needeth.

³ BUT fornication and all uncleanness and covetousness, let them not be even heard among you, as it becometh the saints; ⁴ neither filthiness, nor words of folly, or of jeering, or fables, which are not necessary, but, instead of these, thanksgiving. ⁵ But this know, that any man who is a fornicator, or impure, or covetous, or an idolater, hath no inheritance in the kingdom of the Meshiha and of Aloha;

⁸ For you were before darkness, but now you are light in our Lord. As the sons of light, then, so walk.

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, as the Meshiha is the head of the church, and he himself is the Saviour of the body.

²⁶ that he might sanctify her and purify her in the laver of waters and by the word,

³⁰ For we are members of his body, and of his flesh are we, and of his bones. ³¹ Because of this a man leaveth his father and his mother, and cleaveth unto his wife, and they two become one flesh.

²⁰ even as I hope and expect, that in nothing I shall be confounded, but manifestly, as at all times, so also now, the Meshiha shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

⁵ And feel [Or, be of this sentiment in yourselves.] this in yourselves, which Jeshu the Meshiha (did) also:

¹⁴ Do every thing without murmuring and without division; ¹⁵ that you may be perfect and without spot, as the pure children of Aloha, who dwell in a generation depraved and perverse; and be manifest among them as luminaries in the world,

¹⁰ that in it I may know Jeshu, and the power of his resurrection, and have fellowship in his sufferings, and be conformed into his death, ¹¹ that any how [Dalmo.] I may be able to come to the resurrection which is from among the dead.

²¹ who will change the body of our abasement to make (it) in the fashion of his glorious body,[The body of his glory.] according to his great power, by which all is subjected unto him.

¹⁹ and not holding the Head, from whom all the body is composed and constituted in joints and limbs, and increaseth (with) the increase of Aloha.

²² For these are of perishable use, and are ordinances and doctrines of men; ²³ and appear to have in them a reason of wisdom, with the look of humility and the fear of Aloha, (as) not sparing the body, (yet) not in that which is (really) of value, but in those (things) whose use pertains to the flesh.

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, and passions, and evil desires, and covetousness, which itself is idolatry.

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, and passions, and evil desires, and covetousness, which itself is idolatry. ⁶ For on account of these cometh the anger of Aloha upon the sons of disobedience.[Or, perverseness.] ⁷ In these also you walked aforetime, when you were conversant in them.

²⁵ But he who injureth is recompensed as he had injured, and there is no acceptance of persons.[Faces.]

¹³ and will establish your hearts without blame in holiness, before Aloha our Father, at the advent of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha with all his saints.

³ For this is the will of Aloha, your sanctification; and that you be distant from all fornication;

³ For this is the will of Aloha, your sanctification; and that you be distant from all fornication; ⁴ and that every man of you know to possess his vessel in sanctification and in honour, ⁵ and not in the passions of concupiscence, as the rest of the Gentiles who know not Aloha.

⁵ and not in the passions of concupiscence, as the rest of the Gentiles who know not Aloha. ⁶ And that you dare not transgress, and defraud the one man his brother in this matter, because our Lord is the avenger of all these, as we have also before told you and testified.

⁶ And that you dare not transgress, and defraud the one man his brother in this matter, because our Lord is the avenger of all these, as we have also before told you and testified. ⁷ For Aloha hath not called us to uncleanness, but unto sanctification.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jeshu died and arose, so also Aloha those who have slept in Jeshu will bring with him.

¹⁵ And beware, lest any of you evil render for evil; but always follow after (those things which are) good (pl.) toward one another, and toward every man.

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks unto Aloha at all time for you, our brethren, beloved in our Lord, because Aloha hath chosen you from the beginning unto salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit, and by the belief of the truth.

⁹ Not because we had not power, but because in ourselves we would give you an example, that you may imitate us.

⁹ knowing that against the righteous the law is not set, but against the evil, and rebels, and the wicked, and sinners, and the dishonest, and those who are not pure, and those who strike their fathers, and those who strike their mothers, and murderers, ¹⁰ and fornicators, and liers with men, and stealers of the free, and liars, and doers against an oath and whatever (else) is opposed to the healthful doctrine

⁴ No man serveth as a soldier, and entangleth himself with the affairs of the world, that he might please him who hath chosen him.

²² From all the lusts of youth escape; and pursue [Or, run after.] after righteousness, and faith, and charity, and peace, with them who call upon the Lord with a pure heart.

¹⁰ for Dema hath left me, and hath loved this world, and is gone to Thessalonika; Krispos to Galatia, Titos to Dalmatia;

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and to cleanse unto himself a new people,[Amo chadtho.] who are zealous of good works.

³ For we also were afore-time without understanding, and disobedient and erring, and were subjected to various lusts; and in malice, and in envy we conversed, and were hateful, and also hating one another. ⁴ But when appeared the goodness and mercy of Aloha our Saviour, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but by his own mercy he saved us, by the laving of the birth which is afresh, by the renewing of the Spirit of Holiness, ⁶ which he shed upon us abundantly, by Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour; ⁷ that by his grace we might be justified, and be made heirs according to the hope of the life which is eternal.

¹¹ For he who sanctified, and they who are sanctified, are all from one: wherefore he has not been ashamed to call them his brethren.

¹² Nor entered he with the blood of goats and calves, but with the blood of himself he entered once the holy place, and hath found eternal redemption.

²² Let us, therefore, draw near with a confirmed heart, and the full security of faith, with our hearts sprinkled and cleansed from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure waters;

³¹ By faith Rachob the harlot perished not with those who would not hearken, because she had received the explorers in peace.

¹⁴ Follow after peace with every man, and after holiness, without which man our Lord seeth not. ¹⁵ And be aware lest any one be found among you failing of the grace of Aloha; or lest any root of bitternesses should put forth the flower and injure you, and many be contaminated: ¹⁶ or lest there be found among you any fornicator, or dissolute, as Isu, who for one meal sold his birthright.

¹⁶ or lest there be found among you any fornicator, or dissolute, as Isu, who for one meal sold his birthright.

⁴ Honourable is marriage among all, and their bed is undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers Aloha judgeth.

⁵ If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask of Aloha, who giveth to all expansively, and upbraideth not, and it is given to him.

¹⁶ Do not err, my beloved brethren;

²¹ Our father Abraham, was he not by works justified, when he offered Ishok his son on the altar? ²² Thou seest that his faith was helpful [Vide CASTELL'S Hept. Lex. in -.] unto his works; and by works his faith was perfected, ²³ and the scripture was accomplished which said, that Abraham believed in Aloha, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness, and the friend of Aloha he was called. ²⁴ Thou seest that by works man is justified, and not by faith alone. ²⁵ So also Rachab the harlot, was she not by works justified when she received the spies, and by another way sent them forth? ²⁶ Thus, as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the faith which is without works is dead.

¹³ Who of you is wise and instructed? let him show his works in good conversations in meek wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy among yourselves, or contention be in your hearts, be not inflated against the truth, nor lie; ¹⁵ because this wisdom from above descendeth not; but is earthly, from the reasonings of the soul, and from demons. ¹⁶ For where there are envy and contention, there also are tumult and every thing that is evil. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is pure, and full of peace, and meekness, and obedience, and full of mercies and good fruits, and is without division, and faces accepteth not. ¹⁸ But the fruits of righteousness in quietness are sown by them who make peace.

¹ From whence are there among you wars and strifes? Is it not from the lusts which war in your members? ² You desire, and have not; you kill and are emulous, yet it cometh not into your hands; you strive and make wars, and nothing have because you do not ask; ³ you ask and receive not, because you ask wickedly, as that you may cherish your lusts.

⁴ Lo, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your lands, which you have refused, clamoureth, and the cry of the harvests to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth hath ascended.

² them who are elected by the foreknowledge of Aloha the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, that they might be unto obedience, and unto the sprinkling of the blood of Jeshu Meshiha: grace and peace be multiplied with you.

¹⁸ while you know that not with silver which wasteth away, nor with gold, you have been redeemed from your vain works which you received from your fathers,

²² Let your souls be sanctified in obedience to the truth, and be filled with the charity which respecteth not persons, that with a pure heart and perfect you may love one another,

⁵ And you also as living stones are builded, and become a spiritual temple, and holy priests to offer sacrifices, which are acceptable before Aloha by Jeshu Meshiha.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, who minister as priests to the kingdom,[Damkahno lemalkutho.] a holy people, a congregation redeemed to announce the praises of him who hath called you from darkness to his transcendant light:

¹¹ MY beloved, I beseech you as strangers and as sojourners, be separate from all the lusts of the body which make wars against the soul.

¹⁹ For these are pleasing before Aloha, who, for the sake of a good conscience, endure the afflictions that come upon them unjustly. ²⁰ For they who on account of their offences suffer tribulations, what praise have they? But when you do well and they afflict you, and you endure, then doth your praise become great with Aloha. ²¹ For unto this have you been called; because the Meshiha also hath died for us, and left us this example, that in his steps we may walk. ²² Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth; ²³ who was reviled and reviled not, and suffered and threatened not, but delivered his cause to the Judge of righteousness;

⁹ and let no man render evil for evil, nor invective for invective, but, that which is contrary to them, bless: for unto this are you called, that the blessing you may inherit.

²¹ After which very type also you are saved in baptism,[B'mahmuditho.] not while you cleanse the body from filth, but while you make confession of [Or, in.] Aloha with a pure conscience, and of [Or, in.] the resurrection of Jeshu Meshiha;

² that henceforth to the lusts of men he should not live, what time he is in the body, but to the will of Aloha. ³ For the time which hath passed sufficeth to have served the will of the Gentiles in indulgence, in drunkenness, in vileness, in revellings, and in the service of demons.

¹⁵ Only, let no man of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a doer of evils.

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

⁴ For if Aloha upon the angels who sinned was not lenient, but in chains of darkness shut them in the deeps, and delivered them to be kept to the judgment of pain;

⁹ Whoever saith, then, that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now. ¹⁰ He who loveth his brother, in the light abideth, and offence is not in him. ¹¹ He who hateth his brother is in darkness, and in the darkness walketh, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness itself hath blinded his eyes.

¹⁶ For every thing that is in the world, is the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world. These which are not of the Father, but they are from the world itself. ¹⁷ And the world passeth, (both) it and its lusts; but he who doeth the will of Aloha, continueth for ever.

¹¹ For this is the commandment which you have heard from before, that you love one another. ¹² Not as Koen, who was from the Evil, and killed his brother. And on what account killed he him? unless that his own works were evil and his brother's righteous. ¹³ Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world hate you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth. ¹⁵ For every one who hateth his brother is a man-killer; and we know that in no man-killer can abide the life which is eternal.

⁶ And the angels who kept not their primacy, but left their habitation, unto the judgment of the great day in chains unknown, under darkness, he hath kept.

¹² These are they who, in their recreations contaminating, behave wantonly, feeding themselves without reverence; clouds without rain, roaming with the winds; trees whose fruit withereth, and which are unfruitful, twice dead, and uplifted from their root;

¹⁴ But Hanuk also, who was the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, ¹⁵ Behold, the Lord cometh, with myriads of his saints, to execute judgment upon all; and to convict all the wicked for all their deeds which they have wickedly done; and for all those obdurate words which ungodly sinners have spoken.

⁵ and from Jeshu Meshiha who is the faithful Witness, the First-born of the dead, and Head of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and released [Sharo, solvit.] us from our sins by his blood,

²⁶ And he who conquereth, and he who keepeth until the end my works, I will give to him power [Shultono.] over the peoples, ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as a vessel of the potter shall they be destroyed, as also I have received from my Father;

²¹ And to him who overcometh I will give to sit with me upon my throne, as also I have overcome, and have sat with my Father in his throne.

⁹ And they hymned a new hymn, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to Aloha by thy blood, from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who have come from great affliction, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and to the souls of them who had been cut asunder for the sake of the testimony of Jeshu, and for the word of Aloha, and them who had not worshipped the beast of prey nor his image, nor received his signature upon their forehead and upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with their Meshiha the thousand years.

⁸ But the fearful, and the faithless, and sinners, and the unclean, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and servers of idols, and all liars, (shall have) their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and sulphur; which is the second death.

¹⁵ Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one who loveth and maketh a lie.
