1 Corinthians 7 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ BUT concerning those (questions) of which you wrote to me, It is well for a man unto a woman not to come nigh; ² but, because of fornication, let a man take his wife, and let a woman take her husband ³ And let a man render the love that is due unto his wife; so also the wife to her husband. ⁴ For the wife hath not authority over her body, but the husband; so also the man hath not authority over his body, but his wife. ⁵ Defraud not then one the other, unless you both agree for a time, that you may humble yourselves by fasting and by prayer; and return again unto the same will, that Satana may not tempt you on account of the desire of your bodies. ⁶ But this I speak as to the infirm; (and) not from commandment. ⁷ For I would that all men were as I am, in chastity. But every man hath the gift given to him from Aloha, this one thus, and the other thus. ⁸ But I say to those who have no wives, and to the widows, that it is expedient for them to remain as I do. ⁹ Yet, if they persevere not, they should marry; for it is better to take a wife than to burn with concupiscence. ¹⁰ But those who have wives I command, yet not I, but my Lord, that the wife from her husband separate not. ¹¹ Yet, if she separate, let her remain without a man, or unto her husband be reconciled. And let not a man put away his wife. ¹² But to the rest I say, not my Lord, If a brother hath a wife who is not a believer, and she be willing to dwell with him, let him not put her away. ¹³ And any woman who has an husband unbelieving, and he willeth to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband. ¹⁴ For the man who believeth not is sanctified by the wife who believeth; and any wife who believeth not is sanctified by the husband who believeth; otherwise their children would be unclean; but now are they clean. ¹⁵ But if he who believeth not separate, let him separate; a brother or a sister is not in servitude to these: unto peace Aloha hath called us. ¹⁶ For how knowest thou, wife, whether thou mayest save thy husband? Or knowest thou, man, if thy wife thou mayest save? ¹⁷ But (according as) the Lord hath distributed to every one, as Aloha hath called, so let him walk; and thus in all the churches, so I direct. ¹⁸ If a man circumcised hath been called, let him not turn to uncircumcision; and if in uncircumcision he hath been called, let him not be circumcised. ¹⁹ For circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but the observances of the commandments of Aloha. ²⁰ Let every man in the calling in which he hath been called remain. ²¹ If a servant thou wast called, be not careful, but, if also thou canst be made free, choose [it rather than] that thou shouldest serve.[Gabi lok datephluch.] ²² For he who a servant is called in the Lord, is the freeman of Aloha, so he who as a son of freedom is called, is a servant of the Meshiha. ²³ With a price are you bought; you will not be servants of men. ²⁴ Every one in that in which he was called, my brethren, in it let him remain unto [Or, with.] Aloha. ²⁵ BUT respecting virginity, a commandment from Aloha I have not received; but I give counsel as a man who hath had grace from Aloha to be faithful. ²⁶ And I consider that this is good [counsel], on account of the necessity of the time, that it is expedient for a man so to be. ²⁷ Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. ²⁸ Yet, if thou takest a wife, thou sinnest not; and if a virgin shall be to a husband, she sinneth not. Yet affliction in the body will be to them who are such; but I am sparing over you. ²⁹ And this I say, my brethren, that the time now becomes contracted; and they who have wives should be as not having them; ³⁰ and they who weep, as not weeping; and they who rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they who buy, as not possessing; ³¹ and they who use this world should not exceed the just use [thereof]; for the fashion of this world passeth away. ³² Wherefore I would that you be without anxiety; for he who hath not a wife thinketh of the things of his Lord, that so he may please his Lord; ³³ and he who hath a wife is anxious for the world, that so he may please his wife. ³⁴ But there is a distinction between the wife and the virgin. She who hath no man is thoughtful of the things of her Lord, that she may be holy in her body and in her spirit; and she who hath a husband is thoughtful of the world, that so she may please her husband. ³⁵ But this for your own profit speak I; not to throw a snare over you, but that you may be constant towards your Lord in a comely manner, while not thoughtful of the world. ³⁶ But if a man consider it to be dishonourable toward his virgin, who hath passed her time, that he hath not given her to the man, (and) that it is proper that he should give her; as he willeth let him act, he sinneth not: let them marry. ³⁷ But he who hath firmly decided in his own mind, and nothing constraineth him, and (who hath) power in his will, and thus judgeth in his heart, that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. ³⁸ And he then who giveth his virgin doeth well, and he who giveth not his virgin doeth better. ³⁹ The wife, so long as her husband liveth, is bound by the law; but if her husband shall die, she is free, that she may do what she willeth, only in our Lord. ⁴⁰ But it is good if thus she remain, according to my own mind. But I think also that the Spirit of Aloha is in me.

¹⁰ Then said Jeshu to him, Away with thee, Satana! for it is written that the Lord thy Aloha thou shalt worship, and him only thou shalt serve.

²⁵ WHEREFORE I say unto you, Let not your souls be anxious what you shall eat and what you shall drink, and for your bodies what you shall wear. Is not the life more excellent than food, and the body than raiment? ²⁶ Behold the fowls of the heaven; they sow not, neither do they reap, nor collect into granaries; yet your Father who is in heaven nourisheth them: are you not far more considerable than they? ²⁷ But who among you by being anxious can add to his stature one cubit? ²⁸ and concerning raiment why are you anxious? Look upon the lilies of the wilderness how they increase; they toil not, neither do they spin. ²⁹ Yet I say to you, Not even Shelemun in all his glory was covered like one from among these. ³⁰ But if the herb of the field, which to-day exists, and tomorrow falleth into the oven, Aloha thus clotheth, how much more you, little of faith? ³¹ Be not anxious, therefore, nor say, What shall we eat, or, What shall we drink, or, How shall we be covered? ³² For after all these things do the people of the world inquire: but your Father who is in heaven knoweth that also by you are required these all. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of Aloha and his righteousness, and all these shall be added unto you. ³⁴ Be not therefore anxious for to-morrow; the morrow shall care for its own: the evil of to-day is enough for it.

⁵⁰ For every one who doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and my sister, and my mother.

That, therefore, which Aloha hath conjoined, man shall not separate. ⁷ They said to him, Why then did Musha direct that he should give a writing of dismissal and send her away? ⁸ He said to them, Musha, on account of the hardness of your heart, permitted you to send away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so. ⁹ And I say to you that whosoever shall forsake his wife who is not adulterous, and take another, committeth adultery; and whosoever taketh the deserted one, committeth adultery.

⁹ And I say to you that whosoever shall forsake his wife who is not adulterous, and take another, committeth adultery; and whosoever taketh the deserted one, committeth adultery. ¹⁰ His disciples say to him, If thus be the case between the man and the woman, it is not expedient to take a wife. ¹¹ But he said to them, Not every man is sufficient for this doctrine, but he to whom it is given.

¹⁴ FOR as a man who journeyed called his servants, and delivered to them his property: ¹⁵ To one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, each man according to his faculty; and forthwith went away. ¹⁶ But he who had received five talents went and traded with them, and gained five others. ¹⁷ Likewise he who (had received) two by trading gained two others. ¹⁸ But he who had received one went, dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord. ¹⁹ After a long time the lord of those servants came, and received from them the account. ²⁰ Then he drew near who had received the five talents, and brought five others, and said, My lord, five talents thou gavest me: behold, five others I have gained by them. ²¹ His lord said to him, It is well, good and faithful servant; over a little thou hast been faithful, over much I will establish thee: enter into the joy of thy lord. ²² And he of the two talents approached, and said, My lord, two talents thou gavest me: behold, two others I have gained by them. ²³ His lord saith to him, It is well, servant good and faithful; over a little thou hast been faithful, over much will I establish thee: enter into the joy of thy lord. ²⁴ But he also drew near who had received the one talent, and said, My lord, I knew thee, that thou wast a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering together from whence thou hadst not dispersed. ²⁵ And I feared, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine own. ²⁶ His lord answered, Thou evil and slothful servant, thou didst know me that I reap where I have not sowed, and collect from whence I have not dispersed. ²⁷ Did it not behove thee to cast my money upon the table, that when I came I might require mine own with its increase? ²⁸ Take therefore from him the talent, and give it unto him who hath ten talents. ²⁹ For unto him who hath shall be given, and it shall be added to him; but he who hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken from him.

[Chasir reyona, wanting reason.] this night thy soul they shall require of thee; and then, (the things) which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? ²¹ So is he who layeth up to himself treasures, and towards Aloha is not rich. ²² And he said to his disciples, Therefore I tell you, Be not anxious for yourselves, what you shall eat; neither for the body, how you shall dress:

²⁹ And seek you not what you shall eat, and what you shall drink; nor let your mind be distracted for these:

⁵ but (that) certain had arisen who had believed from the doctrine of the Pharishee, and said, It behoved you to circumcise them, and require them to keep the law of Musha.

¹⁹ On this account I say, that we should not molest those who from the Gentiles have been converted unto Aloha;

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

²⁸ For it hath been the will of the Spirit of Holiness, and also of us, not to lay upon you greater burden beyond these things which are constraining;

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to the whole flock over which the Spirit of Holiness hath constituted you the bishops; to pasture the church of the Meshiha which he hath purchased with his blood.

²⁹ And Paulos said, I would from Aloha that in little and in much, not only thou, but also all who hear me to-day, were as I am, except these bonds.

¹ PAULOS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, called, and an apostle, who hath been separated unto the gospel of Aloha,

²⁵ For circumcision profiteth, if thou accomplish the law; but if thou transgress the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcisedness. ²⁶ But if the uncircumcision shall keep the commandment of the law, is not uncircumcisedness reckoned to him (as) circumcision? ²⁷ And the uncircumcision, who by nature accomplishes the law will judge thee, who with the scripture and with circumcision, transgressest against the law. ²⁸ FOR it is not in outwardness that he is a Jihudoya nor is that which is seen in the flesh circumcision: ²⁹ but he is a Jihudoya who is one in inwardness; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not from the sons of men, but from Aloha.

³⁰ Because one is Aloha, who justifieth the circumcision by faith, also the uncircumcision by the same faith.

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.

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. ²⁰ For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness. ²¹ And what product [Odsho.] had you then from that of which to-day you are ashamed? For the end of it is death. ²² And now made free from sin, and become servants to Aloha, you have holy fruits, [Phiree.] of which the end is the life of eternity.

² as a woman who is bound in law to her husband as long as he liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is freed from the law of her husband. ³ But if, while her husband lives, she adhere to another man, she becometh an adulteress; but if her husband shall die, she is freed from the law, and is not an adulteress, though she become (the wife) of another man.

¹⁴ if I may provoke my fleshly kindred, and save some of them.

¹⁶ For if the first-fruits be holy, (so) also (will be) the mass; and if the root be holy, (so) also the branches.

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."] ² And be not likened unto this world, but be changed by the renewing of your minds, that you may discern what is the will of Aloha, good, and acceptable, and perfect. ³ But I tell you all through the grace which is given to me, that you are not to think beyond what it is proper to think; but that you think with sobriety, every man as Aloha hath divided to him faith in measure. ⁴ For as in one body we have many members, and as all the members have not one work, ⁵ so also we who are many are one body in the Meshiha; but we are each of us members one of another. ⁶ But we have various gifts according to the grace that is given to us: is it prophecy? (let him who has received it) prophesy according to the measure of the faith.

⁶ But we have various gifts according to the grace that is given to us: is it prophecy? (let him who has received it) prophesy according to the measure of the faith. ⁷ Hath (another the gift) of ministry? (let him be employed) in his ministry; he who is a teacher, (let him labour) in his teaching; ⁸ he who is an exhorter, in his exhorting; as he who giveth, (let him give with simplicity;) and he who presideth,[Lit. "standeth at the head."] (let it be) with diligence; and he who (is engaged in works) of mercy, with cheerfulness.

¹⁸ And if possible, as much as is in you, with all men make peace.

¹¹ AND also this know, that the time is, and the hour is, when we should be awake from our sleep; for now hath drawn nearer to us our salvation than when we believed. ¹² The night now passeth away, and the day hath drawn nigh; put we away then from us the works of darkness, and let us clothe with the arms of light.

¹⁹ Now, after peace let us pursue,[Run.] and after the edification of one another,

² So now is it required of a steward that he be one found faithful.

¹⁷ WHEREFORE I have sent to you Timotheos, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, that he may remind you of my ways in the Meshiha, according to that which I teach in all the churches.

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. ¹⁷ But, he who attacheth to our Lord is with him one spirit. ¹⁸ Flee from fornication: for every sin which a man committeth is without his body; but he who committeth fornication against his own body sinneth.

²⁰ for you are bought with the price; therefore glorify Aloha in your body and in your spirit, which are of Aloha.

¹ BUT concerning those (questions) of which you wrote to me, It is well for a man unto a woman not to come nigh;

¹ BUT concerning those (questions) of which you wrote to me, It is well for a man unto a woman not to come nigh; ² but, because of fornication, let a man take his wife, and let a woman take her husband

² but, because of fornication, let a man take his wife, and let a woman take her husband ³ And let a man render the love that is due unto his wife; so also the wife to her husband.

⁵ Defraud not then one the other, unless you both agree for a time, that you may humble yourselves by fasting and by prayer; and return again unto the same will, that Satana may not tempt you on account of the desire of your bodies. ⁶ But this I speak as to the infirm; (and) not from commandment.

⁶ But this I speak as to the infirm; (and) not from commandment. ⁷ For I would that all men were as I am, in chastity. But every man hath the gift given to him from Aloha, this one thus, and the other thus.

⁷ For I would that all men were as I am, in chastity. But every man hath the gift given to him from Aloha, this one thus, and the other thus. ⁸ But I say to those who have no wives, and to the widows, that it is expedient for them to remain as I do.

⁸ But I say to those who have no wives, and to the widows, that it is expedient for them to remain as I do. ⁹ Yet, if they persevere not, they should marry; for it is better to take a wife than to burn with concupiscence.

⁹ Yet, if they persevere not, they should marry; for it is better to take a wife than to burn with concupiscence. ¹⁰ But those who have wives I command, yet not I, but my Lord, that the wife from her husband separate not.

¹² But to the rest I say, not my Lord, If a brother hath a wife who is not a believer, and she be willing to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

¹² But to the rest I say, not my Lord, If a brother hath a wife who is not a believer, and she be willing to dwell with him, let him not put her away. ¹³ And any woman who has an husband unbelieving, and he willeth to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband. ¹⁴ For the man who believeth not is sanctified by the wife who believeth; and any wife who believeth not is sanctified by the husband who believeth; otherwise their children would be unclean; but now are they clean. ¹⁵ But if he who believeth not separate, let him separate; a brother or a sister is not in servitude to these: unto peace Aloha hath called us.

¹⁷ But (according as) the Lord hath distributed to every one, as Aloha hath called, so let him walk; and thus in all the churches, so I direct. ¹⁸ If a man circumcised hath been called, let him not turn to uncircumcision; and if in uncircumcision he hath been called, let him not be circumcised.

²⁰ Let every man in the calling in which he hath been called remain.

²⁰ Let every man in the calling in which he hath been called remain. ²¹ If a servant thou wast called, be not careful, but, if also thou canst be made free, choose [it rather than] that thou shouldest serve.[Gabi lok datephluch.]

²¹ If a servant thou wast called, be not careful, but, if also thou canst be made free, choose [it rather than] that thou shouldest serve.[Gabi lok datephluch.] ²² For he who a servant is called in the Lord, is the freeman of Aloha, so he who as a son of freedom is called, is a servant of the Meshiha. ²³ With a price are you bought; you will not be servants of men. ²⁴ Every one in that in which he was called, my brethren, in it let him remain unto [Or, with.] Aloha.

²⁴ Every one in that in which he was called, my brethren, in it let him remain unto [Or, with.] Aloha. ²⁵ BUT respecting virginity, a commandment from Aloha I have not received; but I give counsel as a man who hath had grace from Aloha to be faithful.

²⁵ BUT respecting virginity, a commandment from Aloha I have not received; but I give counsel as a man who hath had grace from Aloha to be faithful. ²⁶ And I consider that this is good [counsel], on account of the necessity of the time, that it is expedient for a man so to be.

²⁶ And I consider that this is good [counsel], on account of the necessity of the time, that it is expedient for a man so to be.

²⁶ And I consider that this is good [counsel], on account of the necessity of the time, that it is expedient for a man so to be. ²⁷ Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. ²⁸ Yet, if thou takest a wife, thou sinnest not; and if a virgin shall be to a husband, she sinneth not. Yet affliction in the body will be to them who are such; but I am sparing over you.

³¹ and they who use this world should not exceed the just use [thereof]; for the fashion of this world passeth away. ³² Wherefore I would that you be without anxiety; for he who hath not a wife thinketh of the things of his Lord, that so he may please his Lord;

³² Wherefore I would that you be without anxiety; for he who hath not a wife thinketh of the things of his Lord, that so he may please his Lord;

³² Wherefore I would that you be without anxiety; for he who hath not a wife thinketh of the things of his Lord, that so he may please his Lord; ³³ and he who hath a wife is anxious for the world, that so he may please his wife.

³³ and he who hath a wife is anxious for the world, that so he may please his wife. ³⁴ But there is a distinction between the wife and the virgin. She who hath no man is thoughtful of the things of her Lord, that she may be holy in her body and in her spirit; and she who hath a husband is thoughtful of the world, that so she may please her husband.

³⁴ But there is a distinction between the wife and the virgin. She who hath no man is thoughtful of the things of her Lord, that she may be holy in her body and in her spirit; and she who hath a husband is thoughtful of the world, that so she may please her husband.

³⁴ But there is a distinction between the wife and the virgin. She who hath no man is thoughtful of the things of her Lord, that she may be holy in her body and in her spirit; and she who hath a husband is thoughtful of the world, that so she may please her husband.

³⁴ But there is a distinction between the wife and the virgin. She who hath no man is thoughtful of the things of her Lord, that she may be holy in her body and in her spirit; and she who hath a husband is thoughtful of the world, that so she may please her husband. ³⁵ But this for your own profit speak I; not to throw a snare over you, but that you may be constant towards your Lord in a comely manner, while not thoughtful of the world.

³⁵ But this for your own profit speak I; not to throw a snare over you, but that you may be constant towards your Lord in a comely manner, while not thoughtful of the world.

³⁵ But this for your own profit speak I; not to throw a snare over you, but that you may be constant towards your Lord in a comely manner, while not thoughtful of the world.

³⁵ But this for your own profit speak I; not to throw a snare over you, but that you may be constant towards your Lord in a comely manner, while not thoughtful of the world. ³⁶ But if a man consider it to be dishonourable toward his virgin, who hath passed her time, that he hath not given her to the man, (and) that it is proper that he should give her; as he willeth let him act, he sinneth not: let them marry.

³⁶ But if a man consider it to be dishonourable toward his virgin, who hath passed her time, that he hath not given her to the man, (and) that it is proper that he should give her; as he willeth let him act, he sinneth not: let them marry.

³⁶ But if a man consider it to be dishonourable toward his virgin, who hath passed her time, that he hath not given her to the man, (and) that it is proper that he should give her; as he willeth let him act, he sinneth not: let them marry. ³⁷ But he who hath firmly decided in his own mind, and nothing constraineth him, and (who hath) power in his will, and thus judgeth in his heart, that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

³⁷ But he who hath firmly decided in his own mind, and nothing constraineth him, and (who hath) power in his will, and thus judgeth in his heart, that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. ³⁸ And he then who giveth his virgin doeth well, and he who giveth not his virgin doeth better. ³⁹ The wife, so long as her husband liveth, is bound by the law; but if her husband shall die, she is free, that she may do what she willeth, only in our Lord. ⁴⁰ But it is good if thus she remain, according to my own mind. But I think also that the Spirit of Aloha is in me.

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.

¹ Am I not a son of freedom? am I not an apostle? or have I not seen Jeshu Meshiha our Lord? or are not you my work in my Lord? ² And if to others I be not an apostle, yet am I (such) to you; and the seal of my apostleship are you. ³ My apology to them who judge me [for not receiving maintenance] is this:

⁵ or have we not authority a sister, a wife, to lead about with us, as the rest of the apostles, and as the brethren of our Lord, and as Kipha?

¹⁵ But I am not used in one of these; nor on this account have I thus written, that so it should be done unto me: for it were better for me that dying I should die, than that any man my glorying should make void.

¹⁸ What, then, is my reward? That while preaching without expenses I may perform the annunciation of the Meshiha, and not abuse the power that is given to me in the gospel. ¹⁹ For while free of all men, to all men I subject myself, that the many I may gain.

²² I become with the weak as weak, that the weak I may gain. To all men all become I, that every man I may save.

³¹ Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of Aloha.

⁴ Now, there are distributions of gifts, but one is the Spirit;

¹¹ But all these one Spirit effecteth, and divideth unto every man as he willeth.

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.

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

³⁶ Was it from you that the word of Aloha went forth? Or did it come only to you? ³⁷ But if any man of you think that he is a prophet, or that he is spiritual,[Or, of the Spirit.] let him acknowledge these which I write to you to be the commandments of our Lord.

¹⁰ but by the grace of Aloha I am what I am; and his grace in me was not in vain; but more than all have I laboured, (yet) not I, but his grace which is with me.

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

²³ BUT I testify to Aloha on my soul that because I am sparing of you, I have not come to Kurinthos.

¹⁷ For we are not as the rest who commix the word of Aloha; but as in truth, and as from Aloha, before Aloha in the Meshiha do we speak.

¹ ON this account we have not weariness in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that are upon us. ² But we have rejected the secrets of shamefulness; and walk not with craft, nor deal deceitfully (with) the word of Aloha; but by the revelation of the truth make we ourselves manifest to the minds of all men before Aloha.

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? ¹⁵ Or what concord [Or, peace.] hath the Meshiha with Satana? Or what portion hath the believer with the unbeliever? 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.

¹¹ For, behold, (in) this very (case) that you were made contrite for the sake of Aloha; what carefulness it wrought in you, and vindication, and displeasure, and fear, and love, and zeal, and punishment! And [thus] by every thing have you shown yourselves to be [now] pure in this matter. ¹² But, it was for this we wrote to you; not on account of the injurer, nor on account of the injured one [only], but that you may know before Aloha our carefulness over you.

⁸ Not as though commanding I command you, but, from the diligence of your companions, the truth of your love would I put to the test.

⁸ Not as though commanding I command you, but, from the diligence of your companions, the truth of your love would I put to the test. ⁹ FOR you know the beneficence of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that for your sake he became poor, though he was rich, that you through his poverty might be enriched. ¹⁰ But counselling I counsel you this which helpeth you; because from the last year you began not to will only, but also to do.

¹⁶ But praise to Aloha who in-gave this solicitude for you to the heart of Titos.

¹⁸ But we have sent with him our brother, whose praise in the gospel is in all the churches;

⁸ For if I should boast somewhat more of the authority which our Lord hath given me, I should not blush; because for your edification he gave it to me, and not for your destruction. ⁹ But I insist not,[Or, But I connive.] that I may not be considered as one who would terrify you by my epistles. ¹⁰ For there are men who say, His epistles are weighty and forcible; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

¹⁷ The thing which I (now) speak, I do not speak in [Or, according to.] our Lord, but as in foolishness in this place of boasting.

²⁸ besides the aboundings and the gathering which are upon me daily even my care which is for all the churches.

¹¹ Behold, I have been deficient in mind in my boasting, because you have constrained me; for you were debtors to bear witness concerning me; because in nothing am I less than those apostles who are the most eminent, nevertheless I am not any thing.

¹¹ Wherefore, my brethren, rejoice, and be perfect, and be comforted, and let agreement and peace be among you; and the God of love and of peace shall be with you.

¹⁰ For now do I persuade men, or Aloha? or do I seek to please men? For if until now I had pleased men, I should not have been the servant of the Meshiha.

⁴ But on account of false brethren, who entered upon us that they might espy the liberty which we have in Jeshu Meshiha as that they might bring me [WALTON reads, "us."] into subjection;

²⁸ Jihudoya or Aramoya is not; the slave or the free is not; male or female is not; for you are all one in Jeshu Meshiha.

¹ Stand therefore in that liberty with which the Meshiha hath freed you, and be not enthralled with the yoke of bondage.

¹ Stand therefore in that liberty with which the Meshiha hath freed you, and be not enthralled with the yoke of bondage. ² Behold, I, Paulos, tell you, that if you be circumcised, the Meshiha profiteth you nothing. ³ But I attest again to every man who is circumcised, that he is obligated to fulfil the whole law.

⁶ For, in the Meshiha Jeshu, circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which is made perfect by love.

¹³ BUT you have been called unto liberty, my brethren: only let not your liberty be for an occasion of the flesh; but in love be subjected one to another.

²² But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, prolonging of the spirit, benignity, goodness, fidelity, meekness, patience;

¹⁵ For circumcision is not any thing, nor uncircum-cision, but the new creature.

³ BUT fornication and all uncleanness and covetousness, let them not be even heard among you, as it becometh the saints;

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as also the Meshiha loved his church, and gave himself for her, ²⁶ that he might sanctify her and purify her in the laver of waters and by the word, ²⁷ and that he might constitute her a church unto himself, being glorified, and not having blemish or wrinkle or any thing like these; but to be holy and spotless. ²⁸ So it becometh husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. For he who his wife loveth, himself he loveth.

²⁸ So it becometh husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. For he who his wife loveth, himself he loveth. ²⁹ For no man ever hated his own body, but nourisheth it, and taketh care of it; so also the Meshiha (taketh care) of the church. 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. ³² This mystery is great; but I speak of the Meshiha and of his church. ³³ Nevertheless let every one of you so love his wife as his own self; but let the wife reverence her husband.

³³ Nevertheless let every one of you so love his wife as his own self; but let the wife reverence her husband.

⁵ Servants, be subject to your masters who are according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, and with simplicity of heart, as unto the Meshiha: ⁶ not in the sight of the eyes, as if you were pleasing men (only), but as the servants of Meshiha who do the will of Aloha.

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.

⁶ For nothing be anxious; but in all time, with prayer and with supplication, let your requests be made known before Aloha:

⁸ FINALLY, my brethren, those (things) which are true, and those which are honest, and those which are just, and those which are pure, and those which are lovely, and those which are laudable, and those (which are) works of praise and of celebration, these consider.

¹¹ But I have not spoken because I have had need; for I have learned to make sufficient to me that which I have had.

¹¹ where there is not Jihudoya and Aramoya, nor circumcision and uncircumcision, nor Javanoya and Barbaroya, nor slave and freeman, but the Meshiha is all and in all.

¹⁹ Men, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

²² Servants, obey in every thing your masters according to the flesh, not in the sight of the eye (only), as those who please men, but from a simple heart, and in the fear of the Lord. ²³ And all that you do, from all your heart do (it), as to our Lord, and not as to men. ²⁴ And know that from our Lord you receive the reward in the inheritance; for the Lord the Meshiha you serve.

¹² Epaphra, who is of you, asketh for your peace; a servant of the Meshiha, who is always labouring on your behalf in prayer, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of Aloha.

⁵ On account of this also, I, not enduring until I had sent to know your faith, lest the tempter should tempt you, and we should have laboured in vain;

⁸ Therefore, whoever despiseth, not man he despiseth, but Aloha, who hath ingiven you his Holy Spirit.[Da-yahab becun.]

¹¹ And study to be quiet and be occupied with your own employments, and work with your hands, as we have admonished you;

¹¹ And study to be quiet and be occupied with your own employments, and work with your hands, as we have admonished you; ¹² that you may walk becomingly towards the outward-ones, and of man you may not need.

²³ But the God of peace himself will sanctify perfectly all of you; and your whole spirit, and your soul, and your body will he keep without fault, to the coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹² But these we command, and entreat of them by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that with quietness they work, and eat their (own) bread.

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

¹² And I thank him who hath empowered me, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who accounted me faithful, and constituted me his minister; ¹³ me, who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I received mercy, because while ignorant I did it, without faith. ¹⁴ But in me hath abounded the grace of our Lord, and faith and love which are in Jeshu Meshiha. ¹⁵ Faithful is the word, and worthy of reception that Jeshu the Meshiha came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first. ¹⁶ But for this he had compassion upon me, that in me first Jeshu Meshiha might show all long-suffering, as an exhibition [Or, spectacle.] for them who should believe in him unto everlasting life.

⁵ For if his own house he know not to rule well, how is he able to rule the church of Aloha?

³ and prohibiting to marry, and abstaining from meats, which Aloha created to be used with thanksgiving by them who believe and know the truth;

⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of Aloha, and by prayer.

¹⁶ And take heed to thyself, and to thy doctrine, and persevere in them; for while these thou doest, thyself wilt thou save, and them who hear thee.

⁵ But she who is truly a widow and solitary (is one) whose hope is in Aloha, and who persevereth in prayer and in supplication by night and by day.

⁸ For if a man hath not care of them who are his own, and especially of them who are children of the household of faith, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than those who believe not.

¹¹ But from the widows who are young, withhold (the election); for these become schismatical* against the Meshiha, and seek to marry, [* Metstarin, partic. Ethpa. of Tsero, Scidit, dilaceravit.]

¹⁴ I will therefore that those who are young should marry, and bear children, and conduct their households, and not give to the adversary any occasion to revile.

¹ Let those who are under the yoke of servitude hold their masters in all honour, that the name of Aloha and his doctrine be not blasphemed. ² But let not those who have believing masters slight them, because they are their brethren; but serve them the more, because they are believers, and beloved who are refreshed by their ministry. These things teach and require of them. ³ But if there be a man who teacheth other doctrine, and who accedeth not to the healthful words of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and to the doctrine of the fear of Aloha,

¹⁷ The rich of this world instruct, that they be not uplifted in their minds, nor be trustful upon riches which have no security, but upon Aloha the living, who giveth to us all abundantly for our comfort; ¹⁸ and that they perform good works, and become rich in welldoings, and be ready to give and to communicate,

¹⁵ For every thing is pure to the pure; but to those who are polluted and unfaithful nothing is pure; but their understanding and their conscience are polluted.

³ And so also the aged women, that they be in behaviour what becometh the fear of Aloha, and not slanderers, nor enslaved to much wine, and that they teach good things;

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.

⁸ Faithful is the word; and in this I will that thou also establish them, that they should be careful to perform good works, they who have believed in Aloha. These are good and profitable unto men.

¹⁶ not henceforth as a servant, but as more than a servant, a beloved brother of mine, and how much more of thine, both in the flesh and in our Lord!

¹⁴ Follow after peace with every man, and after holiness, without which man our Lord seeth not.

⁴ Honourable is marriage among all, and their bed is undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers Aloha judgeth. ⁵ Let not your mind love money; but let whatever ye have suffice you: for the Lord hath said, I will not abandon thee, nor withhold from thee support.[Withhold from thee hands; that is, help, strength, &c.]

¹³ Therefore let us also go forth unto him without the camp, being, clothed with his ignominy. ¹⁴ For we have no city which is permanent here; but one that is to come we are expecting.

¹⁰ and the rich in his humility; for as the flower of an herb, so he passeth. ¹¹ For the sun ariseth in his heat, and drieth the herb, and the flower of it falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth; so also the rich withereth in his reverses.

¹⁵ And, if a brother or sister be naked, and wanting the food of to-day,

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.

¹³ But what shall we say of them who say, To-day or tomorrow we will go to this city, or that, and work there one year, and negotiate, and make gain? ¹⁴ and they know not what shall be on the morrow: for what is our life, but a vapour which for a little while is seen, and vanisheth and endeth?

¹⁴ and they know not what shall be on the morrow: for what is our life, but a vapour which for a little while is seen, and vanisheth and endeth? ¹⁵ For instead they should say, If the Lord will, and we live, we will do this or that. ¹⁶ They glory in their pride. All glorying such as this is from the Evil.

¹ O rich men, howl and weep for the miseries which are coming upon you. ² Your riches are corrupt and stink, and your vestments are eaten of the moth, ³ and your gold and your silver rusteth, and the rust of them is for a witness against you, and is to eat your flesh. You have gathered fire for you for the last days! 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. ⁵ For you have lived daintily on the earth, and have been wanton, and have nourished your bodies, as for the day of slaughter.

¹⁹ My brethren, if any of you shall err from the way of truth, and one shall convert him from his error, ²⁰ let him know, that he who turneth a sinner from the error of his way, saveth his soul from death, and hideth the multitude of his sins.

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, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of the Lamb spotless and unblemished, who is the Meshiha;

²⁴ Because all flesh is grass, and all its beauty as the flower of the field. The grass withereth and the flower drieth up,

¹⁶ As the sons of liberty, yet not as men who make their liberty a veil for their wickedness, but as the servants of Aloha.

¹⁸ And those servants who are among you, be subject to your masters with reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the hard and the severe. 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; ²⁴ and took all our sins and upbore [Vaseq enun. Aphel of nesaq, ascendit, clevarit.] them in his body on the cross; that when dead to sin, in the righteousness of him we might live; for by his stripes you are healed,

¹ So you also, wives, be subject to your own husbands, that them who have not obeyed the word, by your comely manners without labour you may win, ² while they see that with reverence and with chastity you conduct yourselves.

⁷ AND you, men, dwell likewise with your wives with knowledge, and as feeble vessels in honour hold them; for they also with you inherit the gift of the life of eternity; that you be not hindered in your prayers.

¹⁸ Because the Meshiha also once died on account of sins, the just on account of sinners, that he might bring [Or, present.] us unto Aloha. And dead in the body and alive in the Spirit,

⁷ BUT the end of all cometh; therefore be sober, and watch unto prayer.

¹⁰ And every man of you the gift which he hath received from Aloha, let him minister thereof unto his neighbours as good stewards of the various grace of Aloha. ¹¹ Whoever shall speak, as the word of Aloha let him speak and whoever ministereth, (he shall minister) as from the power which Aloha giveth to him, that in every thing which you do Aloha may be glorified through Jeshu Meshiha, whose are the glory and honour to the age of ages. Amen.

¹⁷ For the time is, that judgment shall begin from the house of Aloha. But if from us it begin, what is the end (to be) of them who obey not the gospel of Aloha?

⁷ And all your anxiety cast upon Aloha, because he is careful over you.

¹ SHEMUN PETROS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, to those who by faith the same in preciousness [Or, honour.] with us have been made equal, through the righteousness of our Lord and our Redeemer Jeshu Meshiha.

⁸ But this one (truth) be not ignorant of, my beloved, That one day with the Lord (is) as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ Not dilatory is the Lord in his promises, as some consider delay; but is patient on your account, not willing that any man should perish, but (that) every man to repentance should come.

¹⁵ And the long-suffering of the Lord consider (to be for) salvation; as also our beloved brother Paulos according to the wisdom which hath been given to him hath written to you. ¹⁶ As in all his epistles he speaks concerning these; in which there is somewhat difficult for intelligence. Those who are not knowing nor settled pervert them, as also the remaining scriptures, to their perdition.

³ And by this we feel that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ For he who saith that he knoweth him, and his commandments keepeth not, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

¹⁷ And the world passeth, (both) it and its lusts; but he who doeth the will of Aloha, continueth for ever.

²² And whatever we ask, we shall receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are beautiful [Shaphirthö.] before him. ²³ And this is his commandment, That we believe in the name of his Son Jeshu Meshiha, and love one another, as he hath commanded us. ²⁴ And he who keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we perceive that he dwelleth in us, by his Spirit whom [Hau d'yahab.] he hath given to us.

² And by this we know that we love the children of Aloha, when we love Aloha, and work his commandments. ³ For this is the love of Aloha, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not heavy.

¹ JIHUDA, servant of Jeshu Meshiha, but brother of Jakub, to the called people, who are beloved of Aloha the Father, (and) in Jeshu Meshiha preserved:

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.

¹⁷ for it is the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne who will feed them, and will lead them unto fountains of living waters, and Aloha will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

⁷ How much she hath pleased herself to be wanton, all this give her suffering and sorrow. For she said in her heart, I sit the queen, and am not a widow, and sorrow I see not.

¹⁴ Blessed are they who do his commandments, that they may have authority to the tree of life, and by the gates may enter into the city.
