1 Timothy 1 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, by the commandment of Aloha our Saviour, and of Jeshu Meshiha our hope; ² to Timotheos, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace from Aloha our Father and Jeshu Meshiha our Lord. ³ I requested of thee, when I would go into Makedunia, to remain at Ephesos, and instruct certain men that they teach not various doctrines, ⁴ nor throw themselves (away) upon stories and tales of generations which have no end,[Soko, "design or scope."] (but) which rather subserve contentions, and not edification in the faith of Aloha. ⁵ But the end [Soko, "design or scope."] of the commandment is love, from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from genuine faith. ⁶ And from them that have erred, and have declined to vain words, ⁷ seeking to become teachers of the law, while they understand not what they speak, nor that concerning which they contend. ⁸ But we know that the law is good, if a man according to the law [Or, as of the law.] converse in it; 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 ¹¹ of the gospel of the glory of the blessed Aloha, with which I have been intrusted. 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. ¹⁷ But to the King who is eternal, incorruptible, and unseen, who is one Aloha, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. ¹⁸ This commandment I commit to thee, my son Timotheos, according to the early [Or, first.] prophecies which were concerning thee, that thou mayest war through them this good warfare ¹⁹ with faith and with a good conscience. For those who this have put away from them of faith have been emptied; ²⁰ as Hymeneos and Alexandros, whom I have delivered to Satana, that they may not blaspheme.

For these you should have done, and those not omitted. ²⁴ You blind guides, who strain out gnats and swallow camels.

²⁸ AND one from the Sophree approached and heard how they disputed, and, perceiving that he had well rendered to them the answer, inquired of him, Which is the first commandment of all? ²⁹ Jeshu saith to him, The first of all the commandments (is), Hear, Israel, The Lord our Aloha is one Lord: ³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with [Ad literam, From all, &c.] all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. ³¹ And the second, which is like it, (is) that thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Another commandment greater than these there is not. ³² That Sophra said to him, Well, Rabi, and truly hast thou spoken: for One there is and no other than He: ³³ and that a man love Him with [Ad literam, From all, &c.] all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and that he love his neighbour as himself, is better than all burnt-offerings and sacrifices. ³⁴ Jeshu, seeing that he had wisely returned the word, answered and said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of Aloha. And no man dared again to question him.

⁴⁷ and my spirit rejoiceth in Aloha my Saviour,

For he to whom little is forgiven, little loveth. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, Woman, forgiven to thee (are) thy sins. ⁴⁹ But they who reclined said among themselves, Who is this who also sins forgiveth? ⁵⁰ But Jeshu said to that woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

⁴⁷ And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself according to his will, shall be beaten with many.

⁷ But when they all saw (this), they murmured, and said that with a man a sinner he hath gone in to abide. ⁸ But Zakai stood, and said to Jeshu, Behold, my Lord, the dividing of my wealth give I to the poor; and to every man, whatever I have wrongfully taken, fourfold I restore. ⁹ Jeshu saith to him, To-day is there salvation to this house, because this (man) also (is a) son of Abraham. ¹⁰ For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.

⁹ Nikodimos answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jeshu answered and said to him, Art thou Malphona of Israel, and these knowest not?

¹⁵ that every man who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. ¹⁶ For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal.

¹⁶ For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. ¹⁷ For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him.

³⁶ He who believeth in the Son hath the life which is eternal; and he who obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Aloha remaineth on him.

²³ that all men should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Amen, amen, I say to you, He who heareth my word and believeth on him who sent me, hath the life that is eternal, and into condemnation he cometh not, but hath passed from death unto life.

³⁷ Every one whom the Father hath given me, unto me will come; and him who unto me shall come, I will not cast out.

⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who seeth the Son and believeth on him, shall have the life that is eternal, and I will raise him at the last day.

⁵⁴ He who eateth of my body, and drinketh of my blood, hath the life which is eternal, and I will raise him at the last day.

⁴⁴ You are from your father the accuser, and the desires of your father you are willing to do. He from the beginning was the killer of men, and in the truth he stood not; therefore the truth is not in him. And when he speaketh a lie, of his own he speaketh, because of falsity he is also the father.

³⁹ Jeshu said to them, For the judgment of this world am I come, that they who see not may see, and they who see may be made blind. ⁴⁰ And some of the Pharishee who were with him heard these (words), and they said to him, Are we blind also? ⁴¹ Jeshu saith to them, If blind you were, you would have no sin; but now you say, We see: therefore your sin is confirmed.

⁴⁷ And he who heareth my words, and doth not keep them, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

³¹ but these are written, that you may believe that Jeshu is the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha, and that when you have believed you may have in his name the life which is eternal.

¹⁷ Now, however, my brethren, I know that through delusion you did this, as also did your princes;

²⁶ with you from the first he hath established; and Aloha hath sent his Son, blessing you, if you will return and repent of your iniquities.

³ BUT Shaol persecuted the church of Aloha, going to the houses, and drawing men and women delivered them to the house of the bound.

¹ BUT Shaol was yet full of threatenings and murderous wrath [Wrath of slaughter.] against the disciples of our Lord.

⁵ He answered and said, Who art thou, my Lord? And our Lord said, I am Jeshu Natsroya, whom thou persecutest;

¹³ And Hanania said, My Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man, of how much evil he hath brought upon thy saints in Urishlem.

¹⁵ And the Lord said to him, Arise, go; for a vessel is he to me, chosen to bear my name to the nations, and to kings, and to the house of the sons of Israel.

²² BUT Shaol was the more strengthened, and moved those Jihudoyee who dwelt at Darmsuk, while he showed that this is the Meshiha.

¹ And the apostles and brethren who were in Jihud heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of Aloha.

¹⁸ And when these words they had heard they were silent, and they praised Aloha, and said, Now also unto the Gentiles Aloha hath given repentance unto life.

³⁹ and from all (from) which we could not by the law of Musha be justified, through This all who believe are justified.

⁴⁵ And when the Jihudoyee saw the great assemblage, they were filled with envy, and arose against the words which Paulos spake, and blasphemed.

¹ But men from Jihud came down and taught the brethren, If you be not circumcised after the custom of the law, you cannot be saved.

⁹ And nothing distinguished between us and them, because he had purified by faith their hearts.

¹¹ But by the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, we believe that we shall be saved, as they.

¹ And he came to Derbe the city, and to Lystra. BUT a certain disciple was there whose name was Timotheus, the son of a certain Jihudoytha, a believer, and his father an Aramoya. ² And all the disciples who were of Lystra and Ikonia testified concerning him. ³ This Paulos willed to take with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jihudoyee who were in the place; for they all knew his father that he was an Aramoya.

¹⁵ And she was baptized, she and the sons of her house. And she besought us and said, If it be that you truly think that I have believed in our Lord, come, remain in my house; and she constrained us much.

¹⁹ And they came to Ephesos. And Paulos entered the synagogue and discoursed with the Jihudoyee;

¹ AND while Apolu was in Kurinthos, Paulos itinerated through the upper countries unto Ephesos; and he asked those disciples whom he found there, ² Have you received the Spirit of Holiness from [the time] that you believed? They answered and said to him, It hath not been heard by us whether there be the Spirit. ³ He saith to them, And into what were you baptized? They said, Into the baptism of Juhanon. ⁴ Paulos saith to them, Juhanon baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying that they should believe in him who was coming after him, who is Jeshu Meshiha. ⁵ And when they heard these (words), they were baptized in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁶ And Paulos laid on them the hand, and the Spirit of Holiness came upon them, and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. ⁷ But all the men were twelve. ⁸ And Paulos entered the synagogue, and discoursed boldly three months, and persuaded concerning the kingdom of Aloha. ⁹ And men of them were obdurate, and contended, and reviled the way of Aloha, before the assembly of the people. Then Paulos removed and separated from them the disciples, and every day discoursed with them in the school of a man whose name was Tyranos. ¹⁰ And this was done two years, until all who dwelt in Asia, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, had heard the word of the Lord.

³³ But the people of the Jihudoyee who were there appointed of them a man a Jihudoya, whose name was Aleksandros; and when he stood (forth) he signed that he would apologize to the people.

¹ And after the tumult had stilled, Paulos called the disciples and consoled them and kissed them, and going forth went unto Makedunia. ² And when he had itinerated those regions, and had consoled them with many words, he came into the country of Hales,[Quasi dicat, HELLAS, Greece.] ³ and was there three months. But the Jihudoyee wrought treachery against him, when he was about to go into Syria, and had thought to return into Makedunia.

⁴ And this way I persecuted unto the death, while I bound and delivered to the house of the bound both men and women;

¹ And Paulos, looking upon their assembly, said, Men, brethren, I in all good conscience have conversed before Aloha, unto this day.

¹⁶ Because of this also I labour to have a good conscience before Aloha and before men, continually.

⁹ For I, at the first, proposed in my mind to do many things against the name of Jeshu Natsroya. ¹⁰ This I also did in Urishlem. And many holy ones I cast into the house of the bound, by the authority which I had received from the great priests; and when they were killed by them, I participated with those who condemned them. ¹¹ And in every synagogue I was furious against them, while I constrained them to blaspheme the name of Jeshu; and, being filled with great wrath against them, I went forth unto other cities also to persecute them.

¹⁶ And he said to me, Stand upon thy feet, because for this I have appeared to thee, to appoint thee a minister and witness of that (for) which thou hast seen me, and (for) which thou shalt see me. ¹⁷ And I will deliver thee from the people of the Jihudoyee, and from the other nations to whom I send thee, ¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto Aloha, and receive the forgiveness of sins, and a lot with the saints through faith, which (is) in me.

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

⁷ To all who are in Ruma, beloved of Aloha, called and saints; peace and grace be with you from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

²⁰ For the occult things [Kasyotheh d'Aloha.] of Aloha from the foundations of the world, unto his creatures by intelligence are apparent, and his power and his Godhead eternal, that they may be without excuse.

²² And while thinking in themselves that they were wise, they were fools.[Or, befooled.] ²³ And they changed the glory of Aloha the Incorruptible into the likeness of the image of corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and of four-footed (beasts) and of reptiles of the earth.

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.

³⁰ and murmurings, and slanders, and hating of Aloha: vilifiers, inflated ones, boasters, inventors of evil things, mindless, disobedient to parents,

⁴ Or upon the riches of his goodness, and upon his long-suffering, and upon the space he giveth thee, presumest thou? and knowest not that the goodness of Aloha unto repentance leadeth thee? ⁵ Yet, through the hardness of thy unrepenting heart, layest thou up the treasure of wrath for the day of wrath, and the revelation of the just judgment of Aloha,

⁷ To them who seek, in perseverance of good works, glory and honour and incorruption, he giveth eternal life;

¹⁶ in the day when Aloha judgeth the secrets of men according to my gospel by Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁹ and confidest upon thyself that thou art a guide of the blind, and a light to those who are in darkness, ²⁰ and an instructor of the wanting-in-mind, and a teacher of children, and hast a type of knowledge and of truth in the law: ²¹ Thou, then, who teachest others, dost thou not teach thyself? and who preachest that men should not steal, dost thou steal?

²⁴ and all are justified by grace freely, and (that) through the redemption which is in Jeshu Meshiha, ²⁵ whom Aloha before ordained (to be) a propitiation through faith in his blood for our sins which from the first we had sinned, 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.

¹³ FOR not through the law was the promise unto Abraham and to his seed that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

⁶ But if the Meshiha on account of our infirmity in this time for the wicked hath died:

⁸ Nevertheless Aloha hath manifested his love for us, in that, when we were sinners, the Meshiha for us died: ⁹ how much more, then, shall we be now justified through his blood, and by him be delivered from wrath? ¹⁰ For if, while we were adversaries, Aloha was reconciled with us through the death of his Son, how much more, then, in reconciliation with him,[Or, in his reconciliation.] shall we be saved by his life?

¹⁵ But not as was the fall, so is the gift; for if, on account of the fall of one, many died, how much more the grace of Aloha, and his gift, for the sake of one man, Jeshu Meshiha, in many will abound? ¹⁶ And not as the transgression of one, so is the gift; for the judgment that was by one was unto condemnation, but the gift (which saves) from many sins was unto righteousness. ¹⁷ For if because of the transgression of one death was made to reign, much more (shall) they who receive the abundance of the grace and of the gift and of righteousness, reign in life by one, Jeshu Meshiha. ¹⁸ As then on account of the transgression of one was the condemnation of all men, so, on account of the righteousness of one shall there be acquittal* unto the life of all men. [* Zokutho, Victoria, innocentia, justificatio. Heb. Zakah, Purum fuit, purum pronunciavit. ¹⁹ For as on account of the disobedience of one man many became sinners, so also on account of the obedience of one many became righteous. ²⁰ But the entrance which was of the law, (made) sin to increase; and where sin increased, there grace hath abounded:

²⁰ But the entrance which was of the law, (made) sin to increase; and where sin increased, there grace hath abounded:

²⁰ But the entrance which was of the law, (made) sin to increase; and where sin increased, there grace hath abounded: ²¹ that as sin hath reigned in death, so grace might reign in righteousness unto the life which is eternal, by the hand of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁴ For sin shall not rule over you; for you are not under law, but under grace.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; and the gift of Aloha the life of eternity by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹² The law therefore is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 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.

¹⁶ And if the thing that I would not, I do, I witness of the law that it is good. [Shaphir.]

¹⁸ For I know that in me, but that is in my flesh, good dwelleth not; because to will the good is easy to me, but to perform it I find not.

²² For I rejoice in the law of Aloha in the interior man;

¹ I say the truth in Meshiha, and lie not; my conscience witnesseth for me in the Spirit of Holiness,

⁴ For the end of the law is the Meshiha unto righteousness in all who believe in him.

³⁰ For as you also were not obedient unto Aloha at the first, and now have received mercy through their disobedience; ³¹ so also these are now disobedient for the mercy that is upon you, that upon them also might be mercy.

³⁶ For all is of him, and all in him, and all by him. To him be praises and benedictions unto the age of ages. Amen.

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.

⁸ And to no man owe any thing, but one another to love. For whoever loveth his neighbour fulfilleth the law: ⁹ for that also which it hath said, Thou shalt not kill; and, Thou shalt not commit adultery; and, Thou shalt not steal; and, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, in this word it is accomplished, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ¹⁰ Love unto his neighbour evil worketh not: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

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.

⁴ For every thing that hath before been written for our instruction was written, that by the patience and consolation of the scriptures we might have hope.

¹² And again, Eshaia hath said, there shall be a root of Jeshai, and he who shall arise shall be the chief of the peoples; and upon him will the Gentiles hope. ¹³ But the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, through faith, that you may abound in hope through the power of the Spirit of Holiness.

²⁰ But the God of peace will soon bruise Satana beneath your feet. The grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with you!

²⁷ The grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with you all. Amen.

¹ PAULOS the called, and the apostle of Jeshu Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and Sosthenis a brother,

¹ Thus let us be accounted of you as ministers of the Meshiha, and stewards of the mysteries of Aloha. ² So now is it required of a steward that he be one found faithful.

¹⁴ Not as to shame you write I these things, but as my beloved children I admonish (you). ¹⁵ For if you have ten thousand teachers in the Meshiha, yet not many fathers; for in Jeshu Meshiha I have begotten you through the gospel. ¹⁶ I entreat then of you that you be like me. 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.

⁴ that in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha all of you be assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, ⁵ and you deliver this (man) to Satana for the destruction of his body, that in spirit he may be saved in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

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.

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.

¹ RESPECTING the sacrifices of idols, we know that in all of us there is knowledge; and knowledge inflateth, but love buildeth up. ² But if a man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as it behoves him to know: ³ but if a man love Aloha, this (one) is acknowledged of him.

¹⁷ For if with my will I do this, I have a reward. But if without my will, (yet) a stewardship is confided to me.

¹⁹ For it is to be that contentions be among you, that they who are approved with you may be known.

³² But when we are judged of our Lord, we are chastised,[Lit. "To be chastised we are chastised."] that not with the world we might be condemned.

¹ Though in every tongue of men and of angels I spoke, and had not love, I should be as brass which soundeth, or a cymbal which giveth voice.

¹ Follow (then) after love, and be emulous of the gifts of the Spirit, but especially that you may prophesy.

⁹ I am the least of the apostles, and am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of Aloha: 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 PAULOS, apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, by the will of Aloha; and Timotheos a brother: to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, and to all the saints who are in all Akaia.

¹² For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and purity, and by the grace of Aloha, we are conversant in the world; and not with the wisdom of the flesh, and especially with you yourselves.

⁵ For we are not sufficient to think any thing as of ourselves; but our power is from Aloha, ⁶ who hath made us fit to be ministers of the new covenant, not in the writing, but in the spirit. For the writing killeth, but the Spirit maketh alive.

⁸ how much more then doth not the ministry Of the Spirit excel in glory? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more doth not the ministry of justification excel in glory? ¹⁰ For that which was glorified had no glory, in comparison of this excelling glory. ¹¹ For if that which was abolished was with glory, how much more shall that which endureth be with glory?

¹ ON this account we have not weariness in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that are upon us.

⁴ (to) them whose minds the god of this world hath blinded because they believe not; lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Meshiha, who is the image of Aloha, should arise upon them.

⁶ For Aloha, who said, Let light arise from darkness, hath arisen in our hearts; that we should be illuminated by the knowledge of the glory of Aloha in the face of Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁸ and every thing hath become new from Aloha, who hath reconciled us to himself in the Meshiha, and given to us the ministry of reconciliation. ¹⁹ For Aloha is in the Meshiha, who hath reconciled the world with his greatness; and he hath not reckoned unto them their sins, and hath put in us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ WE are ambassadors then for the Meshiha, and as if Aloha himself besought you by us: instead of the Meshiha, [Chaloph Meshiha.] therefore, we beseech, Be you reconciled unto Aloha.

⁹ but now I exercise joy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow hath brought you to repentance. For you were sorry towards Aloha; so that in nothing will you suffer loss from us. ¹⁰ For the sorrow that is for the sake of Aloha worketh soul-penitence,* which turneth not and converteth, unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

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.

³ For if we walk in the flesh, yet we war not according to the flesh. ⁴ For the armour of our warfare is not of the flesh, but of the power of Aloha; and by it we cast down the strong-holds of rebels,

⁶ And we are prepared to execute the punishment of those who obey not, when your obedience shall be fulfilled.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace sufficeth thee; for my power in weakness is perfected. Gladly therefore will I boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Meshiha may overshadow me. ¹⁰ For this cause I am willing in infirmities, in reviling, in affliction, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of the Meshiha; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁰ Therefore while distant I write these (things), that when I am come I may not act severely, according to the power which my Lord hath given me for your edification, and not for your destruction.

¹⁴ THE PEACE OF OUR LORD JESHU MESHIHA, AND THE LOVE OF ALOHA, AND THE COMMUNION OF THE SPIRIT OF HOLINESS, BE WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.

¹ PAULOS, an apostle, not from men, nor by men, but by Jeshu the Meshiha, and Aloha his Father, who raised him from among the dead,

³ Grace be with you and peace, from Aloha the Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,

⁶ I am amazed how soon you have been turned from the Meshiha himself, who called you by his grace, unto another gospel,

⁶ I am amazed how soon you have been turned from the Meshiha himself, who called you by his grace, unto another gospel, ⁷ which it is not; but there are men who disturb you, and (who) wish to remove you from the gospel of the Meshiha.

⁷ which it is not; but there are men who disturb you, and (who) wish to remove you from the gospel of the Meshiha. ⁸ But if we also, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you other than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.[Cherem.]

¹¹ BUT I make known to you, my brethren, that the gospel which is preached by me was not from man:

¹³ For you have heard of my former manners in Judaism,[Yehudoyutha.] that I exceedingly persecuted the church of Aloha, and made it desolate.

⁷ but otherwise: for seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Kipha was intrusted with [that of] the circumcision;

² This only would I know from you: Through the works of the law received you the Spirit, or through the hearing of faith?

⁵ Then, he who imparted to you the Spirit, and wrought miracles among you, (did he so) through the works of the law, or through the hearing of faith?

¹⁰ For they who are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who doeth not all that is written in this law. 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. ¹² But the law is not of faith: but he who doeth those things that are written in it shall live by them. 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: ¹⁴ in order that upon the nations there might be the blessing of Abraham in Jeshu the Meshiha, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. [This division of sections interferes with the sense.]

¹⁹ Wherefore then was the law? It was added on account of transgression, until the Seed should come, he, of whom was the promise; and the law was given by angels into the hand of a Mediator.

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.

²¹ Tell me, you who are willing to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

³ But I attest again to every man who is circumcised, that he is obligated to fulfil the whole law. ⁴ You have ceased from the Meshiha who are justified by the law, and from grace you have fallen.

⁴ You have ceased from the Meshiha who are justified by the law, and from grace you have fallen.

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. ¹⁴ For all the law in one word is fulfilled, in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

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.

⁶ that the glory of his grace might be glorified, that (grace) which he hath poured upon us by the hand of his Beloved: ⁷ in whom we have redemption, and by his blood the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace ⁸ which he hath made to abound in us in all wisdom and in all understanding of the Spirit;

¹² that we who first hoped in the Meshiha, should be to the honour of his glory. In whom you also heard the word of truth, which is the gospel of your salvation;

⁷ that he might show to the ages to come the greatness of the riches of his grace and his goodness, which hath been upon us in Jeshu the Meshiha.

⁸ To me, who am the least of all the saints, is given this grace, that I should preach among the Gentiles the riches of the Meshiha, which are not searched;

¹⁰ that through the church might be made known the wisdom of Aloha, which is full of diversities, to the principalities and powers who are in heaven,

²⁰ But to Him who is able with power beyond all to do for us above what we ask or conceive, according to his power which worketh in us, ²¹ to Him be glory in his church, by Jeshu Meshiha, in all ages, for ever and ever. Amen.

¹² for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the (church of the) Meshiha, ¹³ until we be all one in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of Aloha, and one man perfect in the measure of the stature of his completeness; ¹⁴ and that we be no [more] children, agitated and altered by every wind [Or, spirit.] of fraudulent doctrines of men, which in their craftiness they fabricate deceptively in order to seduce,

¹⁴ and that we be no [more] children, agitated and altered by every wind [Or, spirit.] of fraudulent doctrines of men, which in their craftiness they fabricate deceptively in order to seduce, 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.

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; ⁶ lest any man deceive you with vain words; for because of these cometh the anger of Aloha upon the sons of disobedience.

¹² For your wrestling is not with flesh and blood (only), but with princes, and with powers, and with the possessors of this dark world, and with the evil spirits who are under heaven. ¹³ Wherefore clothe you with all the armour of Aloha, that you may be able to meet the evil one, and being prepared in every thing you may stand. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, with your loins strengthened with the truth, and wear the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and let your feet be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ and with these take to you the shield of faith, that therewith you may be empowered with strength to extinguish all the burning shafts of that evil one; ¹⁷ and put on the helmet of salvation, and take the sword of the Spirit which is the word of Aloha. ¹⁸ And with all prayers, and with all supplications, pray at all times in the Spirit, and in that prayer be watchful in all seasons, praying constantly and invoking on behalf of all the saints;

¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jeshu the Meshiha is the Lord, to the glory of Aloha his Father.

¹⁹ But I hope in our Lord Jeshu to send Timotheos to you soon, that I also may have quietness when I learn concerning you. ²⁰ For I have no other who is so as my (own) soul, who will diligently take care for yours. ²¹ For all are seeking what is theirs, and not what is of Jeshu Meshiha. ²² But the proof of this [evangelist] you know, that as a son with his father, so hath he wrought with me in the gospel. Him, therefore,

²² But the proof of this [evangelist] you know, that as a son with his father, so hath he wrought with me in the gospel. Him, therefore,

²⁴ And I confide on my Lord, that I also speedily shall come unto you.

⁶ in zeal, a persecutor of the church; and in the righteousness of the law, without fault have I been.

¹⁸ For there are many who walk otherwise, of whom many times I have told you, but now weeping I tell you, they are adversaries of the cross of the Meshiha; ¹⁹ they, whose end is perdition, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is their shame; they, whose mind is in the earth.

¹³ for every thing I am empowered through the Meshiha who strengtheneth me.

¹⁵ who is the image of Aloha the unseen,[Or, Aloha who is not seen.] and the first-born of all the creatures.

²⁵ of which I am made a minister according to the dispensation of Aloha, which was given to me for you, to accomplish the word of Aloha;

²⁷ To whom Aloha hath willed to make known what is the opulence of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is, The Meshiha, who in you (is) the hope of glory;

⁶ As, then, you have received Jeshu Meshiha our Lord, (so) in him walk, ⁷ your roots strengthened,[Or, confirmed.] and you builded in him, and established in that faith which you have learned, that you may abound therein with thanksgiving. ⁸ Beware lest any man strip you by philosophy and by vain deceit, according to the teaching of men, and according to the principles of the world, and not according to the Meshiha, ⁹ in whom dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. ¹⁰ And in him also you are complete; for he is the head of all principalities and powers. ¹¹ And in him you have been circumcised with the circumcision which is not with hands, by the putting away of the flesh of sins, (even) by the circumcision of the Meshiha.

³ and remember before Aloha the Father the works of your faith, and the labour of your love, and the perseverance of your hope, which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁴ but as approved of Aloha to be intrusted with his gospel, so speaking as not to please men, but Aloha who trieth our hearts.

² and to send to you Timotheos our brother, a minister of Aloha and our helper in the gospel of the Meshiha, to fortify you, and inquire of you concerning your faith,

⁸ But we who are sons of the day must be wakeful in our minds, and wear the mail-coat [Sheryono. Heb. Shiryon.] of faith and of love, and put on the helmet of the hope of salvation.

¹⁰ when he cometh to be glorified in his saints, and to show his wonders in his faithful ones, that our testimony that was concerning you may be believed in that day.

⁸ then will be revealed that evil one, whom our Lord Jeshu will consume by the spirit of his mouth, and will abolish by the revelation of his advent.

¹⁶ But our Lord Jeshu Meshiha himself, and Aloha our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation,[Or, the consolation of eternity.] and a good hope through grace,

¹⁵ Yet, not as an enemy hold him, but admonish him as a brother.

² to Timotheos, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace from Aloha our Father and Jeshu Meshiha our Lord.

⁵ But the end [Soko, "design or scope."] of the commandment is love, from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from genuine faith.

¹¹ of the gospel of the glory of the blessed Aloha, with which I have been intrusted.

¹¹ of the gospel of the glory of the blessed Aloha, with which I have been intrusted. ¹² And I thank him who hath empowered me, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who accounted me faithful, and constituted me his minister;

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.

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.

¹⁸ This commandment I commit to thee, my son Timotheos, according to the early [Or, first.] prophecies which were concerning thee, that thou mayest war through them this good warfare ¹⁹ with faith and with a good conscience. For those who this have put away from them of faith have been emptied;

³ For this is good and acceptable before Aloha our Saviour;

⁷ of which I am constituted an herald and an apostle, I say the truth and lie not, to be a teacher of the nations in the faith of the truth.

¹ This saying is faithful, that if a man desire the presbyterate,[Kashishutho.] a good work he desireth.

⁹ But they shall hold the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

¹⁶ And truly great is this mystery of righteousness,[Kinutho.] which was revealed in the flesh, and justified by the Spirit, and seen of angels, and preached among the peoples, and believed in the world, and taken up into glory.

¹ But the Spirit distinctly saith, that in the last times some will remove from the faith, and will go after deceiving spirits, and after doctrines of demons. ² These, with a false appearance, will deceive, speaking a lie, and seared in their conscience,

⁴ because every creature of Aloha is good, and nothing to be abominated, if with thanksgiving it be received;

⁶ These if thou shalt teach thy brethren, a good minister wilt thou be of Jeshu Meshiha, while thou wilt be enlarged with words of faith and of the good doctrine which thou hast learned. ⁷ But from the foolish stories of old women abstain; and exercise thy soul in righteousness.

⁹ FAITHFUL is the saying and worthy is it of reception: ¹⁰ for on this account we labour and are reproached, because we hope in Aloha the Living, who is the Saviour of all men, and especially of the believers. ¹¹ These teach and command.

¹⁴ Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee with prophecy, and the hand-laying [Sim-yado.] of the presbytery.

⁷ These things prescribe to them, that they be without blame.

¹⁵ For already have some begun to turn aside after Satana.

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,

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, ⁴ this (is one) who extolleth himself while knowing nothing, but is infirm with disputation and questioning of words, from which are envy, and contention, and evil speaking, and supposition in the evil mind,[Masom b'reyono bisho.]

⁴ this (is one) who extolleth himself while knowing nothing, but is infirm with disputation and questioning of words, from which are envy, and contention, and evil speaking, and supposition in the evil mind,[Masom b'reyono bisho.] ⁵ and conflicts of men whose minds are corrupt and deprived of the truth, and who consider that gain is the fear of Aloha. But thou, remove thyself from them.

⁹ But they who will be rich fall into temptations and snares, and many lusts which befool and injure, and which plunge men into destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the root of all evil is the love of money; and there are who have coveted it, and from the faith have erred, and have made themselves enter into many sorrows. ¹¹ But thou, O man of God, from these things flee, and follow after righteousness, and after equity, and after faith, and after charity, and after patience, and after meekness. ¹² And contend in the good agony of faith, and lay hold of the life which is eternal, unto which thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses. ¹³ I ATTEST thee before Aloha, who vivifieth all, and Jeshu Meshiha, who witnessed before Pontius Pilatos the good testimony, ¹⁴ that thou keep (this) commandment without spot and without blemish, until the manifestation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, ¹⁵ whom in his time will show Aloha the blessed and only Strong One, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

¹⁵ whom in his time will show Aloha the blessed and only Strong One, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; ¹⁶ he who only is incorruptible, and (who) dwelleth in light which no man can approach; whom no man of men hath seen, nor is able to see: to him be honour and power for ever and ever. Amen. 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;

²⁰ O Timothy, watch over that which is confided to thee, and fly from vain words,* and the turnings of false knowledge. [* B'noth kolee serïktho, vain voices.]

²⁰ O Timothy, watch over that which is confided to thee, and fly from vain words,* and the turnings of false knowledge. [* B'noth kolee serïktho, vain voices.] ²¹ For they who pursue it err from the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

² to Timotheos my beloved son: grace and mercies and peace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ³ I thank Aloha, whom I serve from my fathers with a pure conscience, that constantly I remember thee in my prayers of the night and of the day;

⁵ in remembrance of thee (and) of thy true faith which dwelt first in the mother of thy mother Lois, and in thy mother Eunika, and which, I am persuaded, (is) in thee also.

¹⁰ and is now revealed by the revelation of our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha, who hath abolished death, and hath demonstrated life and incorruption, through the gospel, ¹¹ of which I am appointed an herald and an apostle and a teacher of the nations:

¹¹ of which I am appointed an herald and an apostle and a teacher of the nations:

¹³ Let the outline [Or, model: chauro, from chor, "to look at with attention, to contemplate." Melee chlimotho may be rendered "healthy words, or wholesome doctrines." ] of sound words be with thee, which thou hast heard from me, with the faith and love which are in Jeshu Meshiha: ¹⁴ that good deposite keep through the Spirit of Holiness who dwelleth in us.

¹ Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹ Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ² And those (doctrines) which thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, them commit to faithful men, who are also able to teach others.

² And those (doctrines) which thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, them commit to faithful men, who are also able to teach others. ³ And endure evils as a good soldier of Jeshu Meshiha. 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. ⁵ And if one contendeth, he is not crowned, unless according to his law he contend.

⁵ And if one contendeth, he is not crowned, unless according to his law he contend.

¹¹ Faithful is the word: for if we be dead with him, with him also we shall live;

¹⁴ Of these (truths) remind them, and testify before our Lord, that they contend not with unprofitable words, to the overturning of those who hear them.

¹⁶ From vain words which have no utility in them withdraw; for they add greatly to the wickedness of those who are occupied with them. ¹⁷ And their words as an eating cancer will lay hold upon many: but one of them is Hymeneos, and another Philetos,

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. ²³ From foolish controversies which are without instruction withdraw; for thou knowest that they beget strifes.[Fightings.] ²⁴ But a servant of the Lord oweth not to strive,[Fight.] but to be gentle towards every man, and teaching, and long-suffering,

¹ But know this, that in the last days hard times will come; ² and men will be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, boastful, lofty, blasphemous, to their men not obedient, deniers of grace, impious,

² and men will be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, boastful, lofty, blasphemous, to their men not obedient, deniers of grace, impious, ³ calumniators, subjected to lust, brutal, haters of the good, ⁴ traitors, impetuous,[Or, hasty.] puffed up, lovers of lusts rather than the love of Aloha; ⁵ having a form of the worship of Aloha, but from the power of Aloha afar off: (them) who are such put from thee. ⁶ For of them are they who creep into houses, and captivate women who are overladen with sins, and led away by divers lusts; ⁷ who, in all time learning, never to the knowledge of the truth are able to come.

¹ I attest thee before Aloha, and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who is to judge the living and the dead at the revelation of his kingdom: ² preach the word, and stand with diligence in season, and (that) which is not season; confute, and rebuke with all prolongedness of mind and doctrine. ³ For the time will come, when sound doctrine they will not hear; but according to their desires will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing.

³ For the time will come, when sound doctrine they will not hear; but according to their desires will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing. ⁴ And from the truth they will turn away their ear, but to fables will decline.

⁷ The good agony I have fought, and my running I have completed, and my faith I have kept.

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

¹⁴ Alexander the brass-worker many evils hath showed me: our Lord awardeth to him according to his deeds. ¹⁵ But be thou also aware of him, for he is much uplifted against our words.

¹⁷ But my Lord stood with me, that by me the preaching might be fulfilled, and (that) all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.

¹ PAULOS, a servant of Aloha, and apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, for the faith of the chosen ones of Aloha, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of Aloha;

³ and his word hath revealed in his time by our preaching, which was confided to me by the command of Aloha our Saviour: ⁴ To Titos, my true son in the common faith. Grace and peace from Aloha the Father and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour.

⁹ and careful over the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able also to comfort by his teaching the healthy, and to reprove those who are contentious.

⁹ and careful over the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able also to comfort by his teaching the healthy, and to reprove those who are contentious. ¹⁰ For there are many who are not in subjection, and whose words are vain, and make the minds of men to err, especially those of the circumcision,

¹⁰ For there are many who are not in subjection, and whose words are vain, and make the minds of men to err, especially those of the circumcision, ¹¹ those, whose mouths it behoves to stop. Many houses they destroy, and teach what they ought not, for the sake of filthy gain.

¹³ And true is this testimony. Wherefore reprove them severely, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ nor cast themselves to the fables of the Jihudoyee, and to the mandates of men who hate the truth. 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. ¹⁶ And they profess to know Aloha, but in their works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and reprobate to every good work.

¹ But speak thou that which becometh sound doctrine, ² and teach, That the elders be watchful in their minds, and be chaste and pure, and sound in the faith, and in charity, and in patience.

¹⁰ but let them show their good-trustiness [Shararhun tobo.] in every thing, that they may adorn in every thing the doctrine of Aloha our Saviour.

¹³ while expecting the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha;

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,

⁶ which he shed upon us abundantly, by Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour;

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. ⁹ But from foolish disputations, and from tales of genealogies, and from contentions, and strifes of the sophree,[Scribes.] withdraw; for profit is not in them, and they are vain.

¹⁰ And I entreat of thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimos,

⁸ But concerning the Son he hath said, Thy throne, Aloha, (is) for ever and ever, a right [Or, perfect, true.] sceptre (is) the sceptre of thy kingdom. ⁹ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hast hated iniquity; therefore Aloha thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation more (abundantly) than thy fellows. ¹⁰ And again, Thou in the beginning hast laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands. ¹¹ They pass away, but thou art enduring; and all they as vestments shall become old, and as a garment thou shalt fold them up, ¹² they shall be changed; but thou (shalt be) as Thou Art, and thy years shall not fail.[Or, shall not complete.] ¹³ But to which from (among) the angels hath he said at any time, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine adversaries a footstool beneath thy feet?

¹⁴ FOR we are made participators with [Or, are conjoined with.] the Meshiha, if, from the beginning and unto the end, in this very standing we steadfastly persist.

¹⁶ Let us therefore approach with confidence [With revealed eye.] to the throne of his grace, that we may receive mercy,[Mercies.] and find grace for help in the time of affliction.

⁶ (and) who again shall sin, cannot again be renewed unto conversion, who would afresh crucify and put to shame the Son of God. ⁷ For the earth that hath drank the rain which hath come upon it many times, and shall have brought forth the herb that is useful for them on whose account it is cultured, receiveth blessing from Aloha; ⁸ but that which shall produce thorns and briers hath reprobation; nor is it far from the curse, but its end is burning.

²⁵ And he is able to save for eternity them who approach by him unto Aloha; for he liveth through all time, and offereth up prayers on their behalf.

¹⁴ how much more then shall the blood of the Meshiha, who, by the Eternal Spirit, himself hath offered without spot unto Aloha, purify our conscience from dead works, to serve the Aloha the Living?

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;

²⁶ FOR if with his will any man shall sin after he hath received the knowledge of the truth, there is not still a victim to be offered for sins; ²⁷ but a fearful judgment to come, and burning fire which devoureth the adversaries. ²⁸ For if he who transgressed the law of Musha, upon the mouth of two or three witnesses, without mercy died; ²⁹ how much greater punishment, think ye, shall he receive who hath trampled upon the Son of Aloha, and hath counted the blood of the covenant of him by which he had been sanctified as that of every man and hath insulted the Spirit of grace?

⁵ Through faith Hanak was translated,[Or, changed.] and did not taste death; nor was he found, because Aloha had translated him: for before that he would translate him, there was respecting him the testimony that he pleased Aloha. ⁶ But without faith it is not possible for man to please Aloha; for he who draweth near unto Aloha must believe that he is, and that of those who seek him he will be the rewarder.

²⁷ By faith he forsook Metsreen, and feared not the wrath of the king; and hoped, as one who beheld Aloha who is the invisible.

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

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.

⁹ UNTO strange and variable doctrines be not led away; for it is good that with grace we confirm our hearts, and not by meats, because they have not been helped who have walked in them.

¹⁸ Pray for us; for we are confident we have a good conscience, that in all things we desire to act aright.

⁸ and draw nigh unto Aloha, and he will be nigh you. Purify your hands, sinners, and sanctify your hearts, divided of soul.

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. ³ Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who by his abundant grace hath begotten us anew through the resurrection of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto the hope of salvation,

¹¹ and searched into, what time the Spirit of the Meshiha who dwelt in them showed and testified of the future sufferings of the Meshiha, and his glory which (should be) after them. ¹² And all that they searched was revealed to them; for not for themselves they inquired, but to us (and) of us [Lan dilan.] they prophesied those (blessings) which now are revealed to you by them who have preached to you [Or, evangelized you.] by the Spirit of Holiness which is sent from heaven; for into these themselves the angels also desire to look.

²¹ who by him [Dabideh.] believe in Aloha, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and your hope may be in Aloha. 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,

⁷ To you therefore is given this honour, to them who believe: but to them who are disobedient

¹⁰ those who before were not reputed a people, but now the people of Aloha; upon whom also mercies were not; but now, mercies are poured upon you.

¹⁵ But sanctify in your hearts the Lord Meshiha. AND be prepared to make defence to every one who shall seek of you speech concerning the hope of the faith, with meekness and with seriousness, ¹⁶ while you have a good conscience; that as they speak against you as against evil men, they may be made ashamed who have traduced your good conversations in the Meshiha.

¹⁶ while you have a good conscience; that as they speak against you as against evil men, they may be made ashamed who have traduced your good conversations in the Meshiha.

²⁰ those who before were disobedient in the days of Nuch;[Or, Nooch.] while the long-suffering of Aloha commanded that he should make the ark, upon the hope of their conversion, and eight souls only entered therein, and were saved in the waters. 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;

⁸ And before every thing have ardent love for one another; for love covereth a multitude of sins.

¹⁸ And if the righteous scarcely be saved, the wicked and the sinner where shall he be found?

¹¹ To Him be glory and dominion and honour unto the age of ages. Amen.

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.

⁷ but to godliness brotherly kindness, but to brotherly kindness love.

¹⁶ For it is not after fables which are made with art that we have gone, in making known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, but as we were spectators of his majesty.

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. ² And many will go after their wickedness; they, on account of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. ³ And with fraudulency [Olubutho is used both for avaritia and defraudatio.] of deceptive words will they make merchandise of you; they, whose judgment (denounced) before tarrieth not, and whose destruction doth not sleep.

¹² But these, as the dumb animals, by nature (ordained) to the knife and to destruction, blaspheming what they know not, in their own destruction will be destroyed;

¹² But these, as the dumb animals, by nature (ordained) to the knife and to destruction, blaspheming what they know not, in their own destruction will be destroyed; ¹³ while they in whom is iniquity the wages of iniquity shall receive. They repute as pleasure the luxury which is in the day. Blemishes (are they), full of spots, who delighting in their refreshments are luxurious: ¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and sins which cease not, alluring souls that are not established. An heart have they which is disciplined in covetousness; ¹⁵ sons of malediction, who, forsaking the straight way, have erred, and gone in the way of Belam bar Beur, who the wages of iniquity loved. ¹⁶ But he had reproof of his transgression; (for) the dumb ass which spake with the voice of man rebuked the madness of the prophet. ¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven from above, unto whom the blackness of darkness is reserved. ¹⁸ For while they speak scoffing words of vanity, they allure with impure desires of the flesh those who almost escaped from them who have their conversation in error. ¹⁹ And liberty to them they promise, while they (themselves) are the servants of corruption; for the thing by which a man is overcome, to that he is subject. ²⁰ For if [when] they have escaped from the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jeshu Meshiha, with those very things entangled they are again over-come, their end becomes worse than the beginning. ²¹ For it had been more tolerable for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, when they knew, to turn backward from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it hath happened to them according to the true proverb, that The dog hath turned unto his vomit; the sow which had washed into the wallow of the mire.

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.

¹⁸ But increase in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha, and (of) Aloha the Father, Whose be glory both now, and in all time, and to the days eternal. Amen.

¹⁹ From us they went forth, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, with us would they have remained. But they went forth from us, that it might be known that they were not of us.

³ And every one who hath in him this hope, purifieth himself, as He is pure.

⁵ And you know that he was manifested to bear our sins, and sin in him is not.

⁸ And he who doeth sin is of Satana, because that from the commencement Satana was a sinner. And for this cause did the Son of Aloha appear, that he might destroy the works of Satana.

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.

⁷ My beloved, let us love one another, because love is of Aloha; and every one who loveth from Aloha is born, and knoweth Aloha. For Aloha is Love; ⁸ and every one who loveth not, knoweth not Aloha. ⁹ In this was made known the love of Aloha towards us, that Aloha sent his only Son into the world that we might live by him.

⁹ In this was made known the love of Aloha towards us, that Aloha sent his only Son into the world that we might live by him. ¹⁰ In this is love: it was not that we had loved Aloha, but that Aloha himself loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

¹⁰ In this is love: it was not that we had loved Aloha, but that Aloha himself loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

¹⁰ In this is love: it was not that we had loved Aloha, but that Aloha himself loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ MY beloved, if Aloha so hath loved us, we also are indebted to love one another. ¹² Aloha no man hath seen but if we love one another, Aloha in us abideth, and his love is fulfilled in us.

¹² Aloha no man hath seen but if we love one another, Aloha in us abideth, and his love is fulfilled in us. ¹³ And by this we know that in him we abide, and he abideth in us, because of his Spirit he hath given us. ¹⁴ And we have seen and we testify that the Father hath sent his Son, the Redeemer of the world.

¹⁴ And we have seen and we testify that the Father hath sent his Son, the Redeemer of the world.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, That the life which is eternal, Aloha hath given to us, and this life is in his Son.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, That the life which is eternal, Aloha hath given to us, and this life is in his Son. ¹² Every one who apprehendeth [Cul d'achid labro.] the Son, apprehendeth also life; and every one who apprehendeth not the Son of Aloha, hath not life.

⁷ Because many deceivers are come out into the world who confess not that Jeshu Meshiha came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and antichrist.

⁹ Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Meshiha, hath not Aloha.[Or, Aloha is not in him.] He who abideth in his doctrine, this hath both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If any one come to you, and this doctrine bring not, receive him not into the house, and "Joy to you," and " Farewell," say not to him.

⁷ As Sadum and Omuro, and the cities which were around them, which in manner of them committed fornication, and went after other flesh, are lying under everlasting fire, condemned unto judgment.

¹⁰ But these the things which they know not revile; but through those by which naturally as the beasts they are swayed, they are corrupted. ¹¹ Woe to them; for in the way of Koen they have gone, and after the error of Belam for gain they have burned, and in the rebellion of Kurach they have perished. 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; ¹³ turbulent waves of the sea, which, by their foaming, manifest their shame; erring stars, unto whom the blackness of darkness that is eternal is reserved.

²⁵ Aloha our only Saviour by Jeshu Meshiha our Lord, before his majesty with joy, Be glory, and dominion, and honour, and grandeur, both now and in all ages. Amen.

¹ To the angel of the church which is in Ephesos, write: These saith the Holder of all,[Achid Kul.] and of the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks of gold. ² I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and (that) thou canst not bear evils; and hast tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.

¹⁴ But I have against thee a little,["A few things." - POLYGLOT.] because thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Belam, who taught Balok to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat that which the sons of idols (eat), and to commit fornication.

²⁰ But I have against thee that thou permittest thy wife Izabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat what the sons of idols* (eat). [* WALTON, "To eat the sacrifices of idols."]

³ Remember then how thou hast received, and hearken, and keep, and repent. And if then thou wilt not awake, I will come against thee as the thief, and thou shalt not know in what hour I come against thee.

⁸ I know thy works; and, behold, I have given before thee an open door, which no man can shut; because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which is to come upon all the habitable world, to try them who dwell upon the earth.

¹⁹ All those whom I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

⁸ And these four living-ones, each of them, had six wings round about; and within were full of eyes; and they rest not day and night from saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who wast, and art, and art to come. ⁹ And when those living-ones give glory and honour and thanks* unto Him who sitteth upon the throne, to Him who liveth for ever and ever, [* More strictly, (kubol-taibutho,) acceptance of thanks, that is, as by the divine hand.] ¹⁰ the four and twenty presbyters fell before Him who sitteth upon the throne, and worshipped Him who liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ¹¹ Worthy art thou, O Lord, and our God the Holy One, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou hast created all, and by thy hand they are, and through thy will they were and are created.

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.

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. ¹⁰ And thou hast made them [Enun.] to our God kings and priests, and reigning upon the earth. ¹¹ And I saw and heard as the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living-ones, and the presbyters, and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, ¹² which said with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing, ¹³ and every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all them which are therein. And I heard him who sat upon the throne saying: To the Lamb let there be given blessing, and honour, and glory, and praise, and dominion, for ever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four living-ones said, Amen! And the presbyters fell, and worshipped.

¹⁰ and, crying with a great voice, said, Salvation to our God! To him who sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb! ¹¹ And all the angels stood around the throne, and the presbyters, and the four living-ones; and they fell before his throne upon their faces, and worshipped Aloha, ¹² saying, Amen. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and might, and power, to our God, for ever and ever. Amen.

¹² saying, Amen. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and might, and power, to our God, for ever and ever. Amen.

¹ AND I saw that a beast of prey* ascended from the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon his horns seven diadems; and upon his heads names of blasphemy.[* Literally, (chaivith sheno,) a beast of the tooth, i. e., a carnivorous animal. The same expression occurs throughout.]

⁵ And there was given him a mouth speaking great sayings and blasphemies, and authority was given him to act, MONTHS, FORTY AND TWO. ⁶ And he opened his mouth to blaspheme against Aloha, blaspheming his name, and his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.

³ And they sang the song of Musha the servant of Aloha, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wondrous are thy works, Lord God Omnipotent; just and true are thy ways, king of ages!

¹⁴ They with the Lamb will make war, and the Lamb will overcome them; for he is the Lord of lords, and the King of kings, and they who are with him (are) the called and the chosen and the faithful.

¹³ and cinnamon and omomun* and perfumes, and ointment and frankincense and wine and oil, and fine meal, and wheat, and cattle, and slaves, and horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. [* Spikenard. Gr. text, - which the Syr. retains untranslated.]

¹ AFTER these I heard a great voice of a multitudinous host in heaven, saying, Halleluia! Salvation, and power, and glory, and honour, be unto our God.

⁶ And I heard as the voice of a great host, as the voice of many waters, as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Halleluia, for the Lord our God the Omnipotent reigneth!

¹⁶ And he had upon his vestment and upon his thigh the name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords.

⁵ And He who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said, Write: for these are the faithful and true words of Aloha.

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.

²⁷ and nothing shall enter into it that defileth, nor that worketh uncleanness; but they who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.

⁶ And he said to me, These sayings are faithfulness and truth. And the Lord God of the spirit of the prophets hath sent me, his angel, to show to his servants the things which must soon be done.

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

²¹ The grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with all the saints. Amen.
