Hebrews 13 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ Let the love of the brethren continue in you; ² and kindness to strangers forget not; for in this some who were made worthy, while not perceiving [Or, feeling it.] it, have received angels. ³ Remember those who are bound, as if with them ye were bound: be mindful of those who are afflicted, as men (should) who are clothed with flesh. 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.] ⁶ And it is ours to say confidently, My Lord is my helper, I will not fear: what [can] a man do to me? ⁷ Remember your leaders; those who have spoken to you the word of Aloha: reflect on the consummation of their course, and imitate their faith. ⁸ Jeshu Meshiha is yesterday, and to-day, and for ever. 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. ¹⁰ But we have an altar of which it is not lawful for them to eat who minister in the tabernacle. ¹¹ For those animals, whose blood the high priest took into the sanctuary for sins, had their flesh burned without the camp. ¹² On this account Jeshu, that he might sanctify his people by his blood, without the city suffered. 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. ¹⁵ By him,[By his hand.] therefore, let us offer up at all time unto Aloha the sacrifices of praise, which are the fruits of the lips which give thanks to his name. ¹⁶ And forget not compassion and communication to the poor: for with these sacrifices a man pleaseth Aloha. ¹⁷ Be persuaded by your leaders, and obey them; for they watch for your souls as men who must render an account of you, that with joy they may do this, and not with groans; for that is not profitable for you. ¹⁸ Pray for us; for we are confident we have a good conscience, that in all things we desire to act aright. ¹⁹ And more especially I ask from you to do this, that I may be turned to you quickly. ²⁰ But the God of peace, who brought up from the house of the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the eternal covenant, who is Jeshu Meshiha, our Lord, ²¹ make you perfect in every good work, that ye may do his will, and effect in you whatever is good before him, by Jeshu Meshiha: to him be glory unto the age of ages. Amen. ²² Now I request from you, my brethren, that ye prolong your minds on the word of exhortation; for in a few (words) I have written to you. ²³ But know that our brother Timotheos is released; and if he come soon, with him I will see you. ²⁴ Ask for the peace of all your leaders, and of all the saints: they of Italia ask for your peace. ²⁵ Grace be with you all. Amen.

If he be the King of Isroel, let him now descend from the cross, that we may see and believe in him. ⁴³ He trusted upon Aloha; let him liberate him now, if he delighteth in [Willeth him.] him; for he said, I am the Son of Aloha. ⁴⁴ Likewise also the robbers who were crucified with him reviled him.

³⁶ BUT there was a certain disciple in Joppa the city, whose name was Tabitha. This was rich in good works and in alms which she had done.

[Or, polluted.] ¹⁶ This was three times done: and the vessel was elevated to heaven.

³⁸ concerning Jeshu who was of Natsrath, whom Aloha anointed with the Spirit of Holiness and with power: he who went about and healed those who were worn out with evil, because Aloha was with him.

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.

²⁹ And he kindled for himself a lamp, and sprang, and came, perturbed, and fell at the feet of Paulos and of Shilo: ³⁰ and he brought them without, and said to them, My lords, what behoveth me to do that I may be saved? ³¹ And they said to him, Believe in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. ³² And they spoke with him the words of the Lord, and with all the sons of his house. ³³ And in the same hour of that night, he took and washed them from their stripes, and was forthwith baptized, and all the sons of his house. ³⁴ And he took and brought them up into his house, and set for them the table, and exulted, he and the sons of his house, in the faith of Aloha.

³¹ because he hath set a day in which he will judge the whole earth in righteousness by that Man whom he hath ordained; and he will convert every man to the faith of him in having raised him from among the dead.

² And he found there a certain man, a Jihudoya, whose name was Akilos, who was from the country of Pontos, (and) who at that time had come from the country of Italia, himself and Priskila his wife, because Klaudios Cesar had commanded that all the Jihudoyee should go out from Ruma; and he drew near to them:

²⁴ But by me my life is reckoned nothing, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry I have received from our Lord Jeshu, to bear witness concerning the gospel of the grace of Aloha. ²⁵ And now, I know that again my face you will not see, you, all, among whom I have gone about, preaching to you the kingdom of Aloha. ²⁶ I testify to you this very day, that I am pure from the blood of you all.

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.

³⁰ And also from you, of yourselves, will men arise speaking perverse things to turn away disciples to go after them.

⁴ and is known [Or, acknowledged.] (to be) the Son of Aloha by power, and by the Holy Spirit, who raised him from among the dead, Jeshu Meshiha our Lord:

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.

¹⁰ And I pray that from now there may be opened unto me the way, by the will of Aloha, to come to you. ¹¹ For I greatly desire to see you, and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit, that thereby you may be established, ¹² and that together we may be comforted by your faith and mine.

²⁹ being filled with all wickedness, and uncleanness, and rancour, and malice, and rapacity, and envy, and murder, and contention, and deceit, and evil imaginings,

²⁴ but for our sake, because it should be reckoned to us also who believe in Him who hath raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead; ²⁵ who was delivered for our sins, and rose that he might justify us.

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.

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

³¹ What then shall we say of these? If Aloha be for us, who is against us?

¹⁷ Therefore faith is from the hearing of the ear, and the hearing of the ear from the word of Aloha.

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.

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."]

⁹ And let not your love be guileful; abhor things evil, cleave to the good. ¹⁰ Be tender to your brethren, and love one another, being forward to honour one another.

¹³ distributing to the necessity of the saints. Be kind to strangers.

¹⁵ Rejoice with them who rejoice, and weep with them who weep.

¹⁷ And repay to no man evil for evil, but be careful to do good before all men.

¹³ And as in the day, let us walk decorously, not with the song, nor with drunkenness, nor in the unclean chamber, nor in envy and in contention;

² For there are some who believe that one may eat every thing, and he who is weak; eateth (only) the herb.

⁶ He who thinketh of the day, to his Lord he thinketh; and every one who thinketh not of the day, unto his Lord he thinketh not (of it). He who eateth, to his Lord he eateth, and to Aloha giveth thanks; and he who eateth not, to his Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to Aloha.

¹² Therefore, every one of us the answer for himself shall give unto Aloha.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of Aloha is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Spirit of Holiness.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of Aloha is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Spirit of Holiness. ¹⁸ For who in these things serveth the Meshiha pleaseth Aloha, and before men is approved.

²⁵ But now I go to Urishlem to minister to the saints.

²⁸ This, then, when I have accomplished, and have sealed to them this fruit, I (intend to) pass by you into Ispania.

³⁰ Now I entreat of you, my brethren, by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and by the love of the Spirit, to labour with me in prayer on my behalf, with Aloha, ³¹ that I may be delivered from them who believe not in Jihud, and (that) the service which I bear to the saints may be well received, ³² and I may come to you with joy in the will of Aloha, and be rested with you. ³³ The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

¹ I COMMEND to you Phebe our sister, who is a deaconess of the church of Kancreos, ² that you receive her in the Lord, as is right for saints; and, in every thing which she requests from you, assist [Or, stand by.] her; because she also hath assisted many, and myself also. ³ Ask for the peace of* Priskela and Akulos, labourers with me in Jeshu Meshiha; [* Shalu bashalomo; the same form as in the Hebrew of Psa 122:6 Shaalu shelowm Yerushalaim, "Ask the peace of Jerusalem."] ⁴ for they themselves for my life have given their necks; and not only do I praise them, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. ⁵ And give salutation [Shalomo.] to the church which is in their house. Ask the peace of Epenetos, my beloved, who was the first-fruits of Akaia in the Meshiha. ⁶ Ask the peace of Maria, who hath laboured much with you. ⁷ Ask for the peace of Andronikos and Junia, my kindred, who were captives with me, and are known among the apostles, and in Meshiha were before me. ⁸ Ask for the peace of Ampleos, my beloved in our Lord. ⁹ Ask for the peace of Urbanos, a labourer with us in Meshiha, and of Estakos my beloved. ¹⁰ Ask the peace of Apella, chosen in our Lord. Ask for the peace of the sons of the house of Aristobulos. ¹¹ Ask the peace of Herodion, my relative. Ask for the peace of the sons of the house of Narkisos, who are in our Lord. ¹² Ask for the peace of Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in our Lord. Ask for the peace of Parsis, my beloved, who much hath laboured in our Lord. ¹³ Ask for the peace of Rufus, the chosen in our Lord, and of his mother and mine. ¹⁴ Ask the peace of Asynkritos, and of Phlegun, and of Arma, and of Patroba, and of Herma, and of the brethren who are with them. ¹⁵ Ask the peace of Philologos, and of Julia, and of Niros, and of his sister, and of Olympa, and all the saints who are with them. ¹⁶ Ask for the peace one of another with the holy kiss. All the churches of the Meshiha ask for your peace. ¹⁷ But I beseech of you, my brethren, beware of them who make divisions and scandals apart from the doctrine which you have learned; and be distant from them. ¹⁸ For they who are thus serve not our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, but their bellies; and with sweet words and benedictions seduce the hearts of the simple.

²⁰ But the God of peace will soon bruise Satana beneath your feet. The grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with you! ²¹ Timotheos, a labourer with me, and Lukios and Iason and Sosipatros my kinsmen ask for your peace. ²² I, Tertios, who have inscribed this epistle in our Lord, ask for your peace. ²³ Gaios my entertainer, and of all the church, asketh for your peace; (as do) Erastos steward of the city, and Quartos a brother.

²³ Gaios my entertainer, and of all the church, asketh for your peace; (as do) Erastos steward of the city, and Quartos a brother.

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

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.

¹⁰ We are fools for the sake of the Meshiha, but we are wise in the Meshiha; we are the weak, but you are the mighty; you are glorified, and we abased. ¹¹ Until this hour we hunger and thirst, we are naked and beaten and have no fixed dwelling; ¹² and we labour, working with our hands. They revile us, and we bless; they persecute us, and we endure; ¹³ they maltreat us, and we pray for them; as the refuse of the world are we made and the execration* of all men until now. [* Kuphoro. Piaculum; flagitium expiatione dignum.]

¹⁶ I entreat then of you that you be like me.

⁷ Purge from you the old leaven, that you may be a new mass; so that you may be (as) unleavened bread. For our Pascha is the Meshiha, who hath been slain for us. ⁸ Therefore, let us perform the festival, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and animosity, but with the unleavened bread of purity and of holiness.

¹¹ But this which I have written to you, Be not mixed, (is,) If any one who is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous,[An oppressor.] or a worshipper of idols, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or rapacious, with one who is such as he not to eat bread.

¹³ but those who are without, Aloha judgeth: and put away the wicked one from among you.

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. ¹¹ And these were some of you but you are washed, and sanctified, and justified in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹³ Food is for the belly, and the belly for food; but Aloha will abolish them both. But the body was not for fornication, but for our Lord, and our Lord for the body. ¹⁴ And Aloha hath raised up our Lord, and us will raise by his power.

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?

²⁹ And this I say, my brethren, that the time now becomes contracted; and they who have wives should be as not having them;

³⁸ And he then who giveth his virgin doeth well, and he who giveth not his virgin doeth better.

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.

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?

¹³ KNOW you not that they who serve in the sanctuary [Or, the holy house.] from the sanctuary are sustained? And they who at the altar serve share with the altar?

¹³ Temptation cometh not (upon) you but what cometh on mankind; but faithful is Aloha, who will not permit you to be tempted more than you are able, but will make to your temptation a departure, that you may be able to endure.

¹⁷ As, then, one is that bread, so are we one body: for all we that one bread receive. ¹⁸ Consider Israel who are in the flesh: are not they who eat of the sacrifices participators of the altar?

²⁰ No: but that which the Heathens sacrifice, unto demons they sacrifice, and not unto Aloha. But I would not that you be participators with demons!

¹ Be imitators of me, as I am of the Meshiha.

²⁶ as that when one member shall be diseased, all may suffer; and if one member be glorified, all the members may be glorified.

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

¹⁵ But we are also found false witnesses of Aloha; for we have testified of Aloha that he hath raised the Meshiha, while he hath not raised (him).

¹⁶ that you be submissive to such as they, and to every one who laboureth with us and helpeth.

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.

¹⁹ For the Son of Aloha, Jeshu Meshiha, who by us hath been preached unto you, by me and by Sylvanas and by Timotheos, was not Yes and No, but it was Yes in him.

²¹ But Aloha himself confirmeth us with you in the Meshiha, who himself hath anointed us,

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

¹⁷ For the affliction of this time, while small and light, a glory without end for ever and ever prepareth for us.

¹⁰ For we are all to stand before the tribunal of the Meshiha, that every man may be recompensed in his body (for) that which is done in it, whether of good or of evil.

¹⁰ For we are all to stand before the tribunal of the Meshiha, that every man may be recompensed in his body (for) that which is done in it, whether of good or of evil. ¹¹ THEREFORE, because we know the terror of our Lord, we persuade men; and to Aloha we are manifest; but I hope that to your minds also we are manifest.

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.

¹ And as helpers, we beseech of you that the grace of Aloha which you have received be not made ineffectual [Lo testaraq.] in you.

⁸ For it is in the power of Aloha to increase in you every good, that you may always have every thing sufficient, and that you may abound in every good work.

¹² For, on account of the performance of this service, we not only supply the deficiency of the saints, but also cause many thanks givings to abound unto Aloha. ¹³ For on account of the proof of this service we glorify Aloha, because you are subject to the confession of the gospel of Meshiha, and you have communicated in simplicity with them and with every man.

¹ BUT I Paulos beseech of you by the peacefulness and humility of the Meshiha, (I) who also in presence am humble with you, but while far off am confident over you,

¹¹ Why? because I love you not? Aloha himself knoweth! ¹² But I do this, and also will do it, to cut off the occasion of them who seek an occasion, that in the thing in which they boast they may be found as we are. ¹³ For these are apostles of falsehood and workers of deceits, assimilating themselves to the apostles of the Meshiha. ¹⁴ Nor in this may we wonder, if Satana himself be transformed into an angel of light. ¹⁵ Nor is it a great thing if his ministers also are transformed into ministers of righteousness;-whose end will be according to their works.

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.

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.

¹³ All the saints ask for your peace.

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,

⁵ to whom be glory to the age of ages. Amen. 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. 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.] ⁹ As I have said before, and now again say to you, If any man preach to you other than what you have received, let him be accursed.[Cherem.]

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.

¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are known, which are (these), fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

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;

¹ My brethren, if a man of you be overtaken by a fault, you who are in the Spirit, regain him, in the spirit of meekness, and beware lest you also be tempted.

¹ My brethren, if a man of you be overtaken by a fault, you who are in the Spirit, regain him, in the spirit of meekness, and beware lest you also be tempted. ² And bear the burden of one another, and so fulfil the law of the Meshiha.

⁶ But let him who heareth the word, communicate to him from whom he heareth it, in all good things.

¹⁰ Now, therefore, while the time is ours, let us do good unto every man, and especially to the sons of the house of the faith. ¹¹ You see these letters which I have written to you with my hands.

²⁰ which he wrought in the Meshiha, and raised him from among the dead, and set him at his right hand in heaven,

¹⁰ For we are his creation, who are created in Jeshu Meshiha unto good works, which Aloha hath prepared before, that in them we should walk.

¹⁸ therefore, through Him there hath been made for us both an access by one Spirit unto the Father. ¹⁹ THEREFORE are you no more strangers and sojourners but sons of the city of the saints, and sons of the house of Aloha;

¹² by whom we have freedom and access with the confidence of the faith of him.

¹⁶ that he would give to you, according to the riches of his glory, with power to be confirmed by his Spirit in your interior man; ¹⁷ that the Meshiha may dwell by faith in your hearts in love; your root and your foundations being confirmed, ¹⁸ that you may be able to follow out with all the saints, what the height, and depth, and the length, and breadth; ¹⁹ and know the grandeur of the love of the Meshiha, and be filled with all the fulness of Aloha.

¹ I BESEECH of you, therefore, I, the bound one for our Lord, that you walk as is worthy of the calling wherewith you are called,

³ And be diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace,

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,

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

² and walk in love, as the Meshiha also loved us, and delivered himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to Aloha of a fragrant smell. ³ BUT fornication and all uncleanness and covetousness, let them not be even heard among you, as it becometh the saints;

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.

¹⁹ And discourse with yourselves with psalms and with hymns and with songs of the Spirit, singing with your hearts unto the Lord. ²⁰ And give thanks always on behalf of every man in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto Aloha the Father. ²¹ And be subject one to another in the love of the Meshiha.

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

¹⁹ and for me also, that the word may be given me with openness of my mouth, that I may boldly proclaim the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may speak with freedom, as it behoveth me to speak it.

²⁴ Grace be with all them who love our Lord Jeshu Meshiha incorruptibly. Amen.

¹ PAULOS and Timotheus, servants of Jeshu the Meshiha, to all the saints who are in Jeshu Meshiha at Philipos, with the presbyters and deacons.

⁴ in all my prayers on your behalf; and while rejoicing, I pray,

¹¹ and filled with the fruits of righteousness which are in Jeshu Meshiha, to the glory and the honour of Aloha.

¹ IF, therefore, you have consolation in the Meshiha, and if there be comfort in love,* and if communion of the Spirit, and if compassions and mercies, [* Ven mamale belebo bachubo, " If there be the speaking of the heart in love." Mamale belebo, (like the Hebrew, Dibber al leb,) " the speaking of, or into, the heart," is an idiom for giving consolation. Compare John 11:19, 31.] ² complete my gladness by having one sentiment and one love, and one soul and one mind. ³ And do nothing in contention or vainglorying, but in meekness of mind let a man consider his neighbour as better than himself.

¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jeshu the Meshiha is the Lord, to the glory of Aloha his Father. ¹² WHEREFORE, my beloved, as you have all time obeyed, not while I am near you only, but now that I am far from you, the more with fear and trembling work the work of your salvation; ¹³ for Aloha himself effectuates [Mechaphet becun.] in you also to will, also to do, the thing which you will.[Medem detsobeen.]

¹⁶ to be unto them for a place of salvation, for my exultation in the day of the Meshiha, that I may not have run in vain, nor laboured to no purpose.

²⁹ Receive him, then, in the Lord with all joy; and those who are such, hold in estimation:

¹⁷ Be like me, my brethren, and consider them who so walk according to the pattern you have seen in us. 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;

²⁰ But our employment* is in heaven, and from thence we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,[* Pulchonan. Pulchono is " occupation," whether sacred, cultus, or civil, operatio.]

¹ Wherefore, my brethren, beloved and tenderly-regarded, my joy and my crown, so stand in our Lord, my beloved.

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. ⁹ These which you have learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these perform; and the God of peace will be with you.

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. ¹² I know (how) to be abased, I know also how to abound in all; and in every thing I am trained with sufficiency and with hunger, with abundance and with destitution [to be satisfied]: ¹³ for every thing I am empowered through the Meshiha who strengtheneth me. ¹⁴ Nevertheless, you have done well to communicate unto my afflictions.

¹⁴ Nevertheless, you have done well to communicate unto my afflictions. ¹⁵ Know also, you Philipisoyee, that in the commencement of the gospel, when I went forth from Makedunia, not one of the churches communicated to me in the account of receiving and giving, but you only. ¹⁶ For also to Thessalonika one time and twice to my necessity you sent. ¹⁷ Not because I seek the gift, but I seek that fruit may multiply unto you. ¹⁸ But I have received every thing, I abound; and am full; and I have accepted all that you sent me by Epaphroditos, a sweet fragrance and a sacrifice, acceptable, which pleaseth Aloha.

¹⁸ But I have received every thing, I abound; and am full; and I have accepted all that you sent me by Epaphroditos, a sweet fragrance and a sacrifice, acceptable, which pleaseth Aloha. ¹⁹ And my God shall supply all your necessity, according to his riches in the glory of Jeshu Meshiha.

²² All the saints ask for your peace, especially those who are of the house of Caesar.

² to those who are in Kulosos, the holy brethren and believers in Jeshu Meshiha: peace be with you, and grace from Aloha our Father.

⁹ ON account of this also we, from the day that we heard, have not ceased to pray for you, and to supplicate that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of Aloha in all wisdom and in all spiritual understanding, ¹⁰ and may walk according to that which is just, and may please Aloha in all good works, and may yield fruit, and increase in the knowledge of Aloha; ¹¹ and in all power be empowered according to the greatness of his glory in all patience and prolongedness of spirit: ¹² and with joy may give thanks to Aloha the Father, who hath fitted us for a portion [Or, made us adequate to a portion.] of the inheritance of the saints in light,

¹² and with joy may give thanks to Aloha the Father, who hath fitted us for a portion [Or, made us adequate to a portion.] of the inheritance of the saints in light,

⁴ But this I say, Let no man deceive you with the persuasion of words.

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,

¹² And you have been buried with him by baptism, and in him have risen with him, who have believed in the power of Aloha who raised him from among the dead.

¹⁶ LET no man therefore judge you in meat and in drink, or in the distinctions of festivals, and of new moons, and of shabeths,[Or, weeks.] ¹⁷ which are shadows of those to come, but the body is the Meshiha. ¹⁸ And lest any man wish by abasement of mind to fetter you to be subject to the worship of angels, intruding* upon that which he hath not seen, and vainly inflated in his fleshly mind;[* Or, adventuring; perhaps better, presuming.] ¹⁹ and not holding the Head, from whom all the body is composed and constituted in joints and limbs, and increaseth (with) the increase of Aloha. ²⁰ For if you are dead with the Meshiha from the principles of the world, why as if you lived in the world are you judged?

¹ IF, then, you have risen with the Meshiha, seek (the realities) which are on high, where the Meshiha sitteth at the right hand of Aloha. ² Think of that which is on high, and not of that on earth. ³ For you are dead, and your life is hid with the Meshiha in Aloha;

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

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, and passions, and evil desires, and covetousness, which itself is idolatry. ⁶ For on account of these cometh the anger of Aloha upon the sons of disobedience.[Or, perverseness.]

¹⁶ whose word shall dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom. And teach and admonish yourselves in psalms and in hymns and in songs of the Spirit, and with grace sing with your hearts unto Aloha. ¹⁷ And whatsoever you do, either in word or work, do (it) in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and with thanksgiving through him unto Aloha the Father.

¹⁷ And whatsoever you do, either in word or work, do (it) in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and with thanksgiving through him unto Aloha the Father.

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in every thing, for so it is pleasing before our Lord.

³ praying also for us, that Aloha may open to us the gate of the word, to speak the mystery of the Meshiha, for the sake of which I am bound,

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.

¹⁸ This salutation [Shaloma.] with the hand of me, PAULOS. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.

⁶ and you became imitators of us and of our Lord, and you received the word in great affliction, and with the joy of the Spirit of Holiness,

¹⁰ awaiting his Son from heaven, Jeshu himself, whom he raised from among the dead, and who delivered us from the wrath that cometh.

¹³ WHEREFORE we also give thanks constantly unto Aloha, that the word of Aloha which you received from us, was not as the word of man (that) you received (it), but, as it is truly, the word of Aloha, which in operation worketh (alike) in you and in all them who believe.

¹⁹ For what is our hope and our joy, and the crown of our glorying, but you, before our Lord Jeshu at his coming? ²⁰ For you are our glory and our joy.

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,

⁹ For what thanks giving can we render on account of you to Aloha, over all the joy with which we rejoice on your behalf, ¹⁰ unless before Aloha we supplicate exceedingly by night and by day to see your faces, and to perfect what is wanting to your faith?

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

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

⁹ But concerning the love of the brethren, you need not (that I) write to you; for you yourselves are taught of Aloha to love one another. ¹⁰ And so do you to all the brethren who are in all Makedunia; but I beseech of you, my brethren, to excel [therein].

¹² that you may walk becomingly towards the outward-ones, and of man you may not need.

¹² BUT I entreat of you, my brethren, to know them who labour among you, and stand before your faces teaching you, ¹³ that they be esteemed by you in abundant love; and on account of their work be at peace with them.

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

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.

²⁵ My brethren, pray for us.

³ To give thanks we owe to Aloha at all time on behalf of you, my brethren, as it is proper; because your faith greatly increaseth, and the love of you all, of every man toward his neighbour, enlargeth;

² that you be not soon moved in your minds, nor perturbed, nor by word, nor by spirit, nor by letter, which (may be) as (if it were) from us, that, Behold, the day of our Lord cometh!

¹⁷ will comfort your hearts, and establish in every word and in every work of good.

¹ Henceforth, my brethren, pray for us, that the word of our Lord may run and be glorified in every place, as among you.

⁷ For you know how it behoveth to imitate us who walked not wickedly among you.

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

¹³ But you, my brethren, be not weary in doing what is good. ¹⁴ And if any man hearken not to these our words in the epistle, let this be separate from you, and be not mixed with him, that he be shamed.

¹⁶ But the Lord of peace himself will give you peace always, in every thing. Our Lord be with you all.

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.

¹⁷ But to the King who is eternal, incorruptible, and unseen, who is one Aloha, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

² But it behoveth that a presbyter be as that blame be not found in him; and that he be the husband of one wife; (a man) who is of a vigilant mind, chaste, and orderly, and a lover of guests, and instructful; ³ and not a transgressor over wine, nor (one) whose hand hastens to strike; but he is to be gentle and not contentious, nor a lover of money; ⁴ and (one who) ruleth his house well, holding his children in subjection with all purity. ⁵ For if his own house he know not to rule well, how is he able to rule the church of Aloha?

¹² The ministers [M'shamshonee.] shall be (of them) severally who have one wife, and shall rule each his children and his household well.

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, 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;

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; ⁴ because every creature of Aloha is good, and nothing to be abominated, if with thanksgiving it be received; ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of Aloha, and by prayer.

¹⁰ and who hath the testimony of good works: if she have brought up children, if she have received guests, if she have washed the feet of the saints, if she have cheered the afflicted, if she have walked in every gracious work.

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.

¹⁷ Those presbyters who well conduct themselves [D'shaphir methdabrin.] shall be worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and in doctrine.

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.] 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. ⁶ For our gain is great which is the fear of Aloha, with the use of our sufficiency.[Bachshachtho demesthan.] ⁷ For nothing brought we into the world, and we know that nothing we are able to take from it. ⁸ Therefore sufficient to us are food and raiment. [Or, covering.] 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.

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.

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.

¹⁸ and that they perform good works, and become rich in welldoings, and be ready to give and to communicate,

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.]

⁸ Wherefore be not thou ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but sustain evil with the gospel, through the power of Aloha,

¹⁶ Our Lord give mercies to the house of Onesiphoros, who many times hath refreshed me, and of the chains of my bonds hath not been ashamed. ¹⁷ But when also he came to Ruma, with diligence he sought me, and found me. ¹⁸ Our Lord grant that he may find mercies with our Lord in that day: and how he ministered to me in Ephesos thou especially knowest.

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.

¹⁸ And my Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me into his kingdom, which is in heaven. To Him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²² Our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with thy spirit. Grace be with thee. Amen.

⁶ Him who is without blame, and is [Or, Vavo, and hath been.] the husband of one wife, and who hath believing children, who are not vicious nor addicted to intemperance.

⁸ But he shall be a lover of guests, and a lover of the good, and be chaste, and equitable, and holy, and withholding himself from lusts;

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.

¹⁵ All they who are with me ask for thy peace. Ask for the peace of all who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you. Amen.

¹ PAULOS, the bondman of Jeshu Meshiha, and the brother Timotheos, to the beloved Philemon, our fellow-labourer,[Or, the labourer who is with us.]

⁵ Behold, from (the time) when I heard of thy faith, and the love which thou hast to our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and to all the saints, ⁶ (I have prayed) that there may be communication of thy faith (in) yielding fruits, in works and in the (manifestation of the) knowledge of all good which thou hast in Jeshu Meshiha.

⁸ Wherefore I have great confidence in the Meshiha to command thee those acts which are righteous, ⁹ but for love's sake entreating I entreat of thee, I, Paulos, who am the aged as thou knowest, but now also the bondman of Jeshu Meshiha.

²² But at once also prepare me a house of lodging, for I hope through your prayers I shall be given to you.

¹² they shall be changed; but thou (shalt be) as Thou Art, and thy years shall not fail.[Or, shall not complete.]

¹ Therefore we are obligated to be more exceedingly heedful in what we have heard, that we fall not.

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

¹ Wherefore, my holy brethren, who have been called with the calling that [is] from heaven, contemplate this Apostle and High Priest of our confession, JESHU MESHIHA!

¹² Beware, therefore, my brethren, lest there be in any man among you an evil heart which believeth not, and ye depart from Aloha the living. ¹³ But examine yourselves all the days, until the day which is called THAT DAY,[Yaumono, q. s. yaumo hono.] lest any one of you be hardened by the deceptiveness of sin.

¹ Let us fear, therefore, lest, while there is a confirmed promise of an entrance into his rest, any one shall be found among you remaining from entering in.

⁹ Therefore, yet to enjoy a shabathism* is confirmed to the people of Aloha.[* Lemashbothu. Inf. Aphel of shabath, Quievit; celebravit diem sabbathi.]

¹¹ Let us, therefore, anxiously endeavour to enter into that rest, that we fall not after the manner of those who were not persuaded.

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.

¹⁰ For not unrighteous is Aloha, that he should forget your works and your charity which ye have manifested in his name, who have ministered unto the saints, and do minister.

¹⁰ For not unrighteous is Aloha, that he should forget your works and your charity which ye have manifested in his name, who have ministered unto the saints, and do minister. ¹¹ But we desire that every one of you manifest the same diligence for the full completion of your hope until the end;

¹¹ But we desire that every one of you manifest the same diligence for the full completion of your hope until the end; ¹² and that it be not cut off from you,[Tethkatao lecun. (Katao, abscidit. Ethpaal, abscissus est.)] but that ye be imitators of them who by fidelity and patience [Prolongedness of spirit.] have become heirs of the promise.

¹² and that it be not cut off from you,[Tethkatao lecun. (Katao, abscidit. Ethpaal, abscissus est.)] but that ye be imitators of them who by fidelity and patience [Prolongedness of spirit.] have become heirs of the promise.

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.

⁹ And this was a figurative representation [Or, parable.] for the time in which oblations and victims have been offered; - those which have not been able to perfect the consciousness of him who offered them; ¹⁰ but (have consisted) in meat and drink only, and in various kinds of baptism, being institutions of the flesh appointed until the time of setting right.

¹² Nor entered he with the blood of goats and calves, but with the blood of himself he entered once the holy place, and hath found eternal redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of goats and of calves, and the dust of an heifer, sprinkled upon those who were unclean, sanctifieth them for the purification of their flesh, 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?

¹⁶ FOR where a covenant [Diathike.] is, there is indicated the DEATH of that which made it. ¹⁷ For upon death only is it confirmed; because while he who made it lived there is no value in it. ¹⁸ Wherefore neither the first without blood was confirmed. ¹⁹ For when every precept had been enjoined by Musha to the whole people according to the law, Musha took the blood of the heifer, and water, with the scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled upon the books and upon all the people, ²⁰ and said to them, This is the blood of that covenant which is commanded by Aloha.

¹⁹ We have, therefore, my brethren, confidence [Openness of faces.] to enter [In the entrance of.] the holy place through the blood of Jeshu; and a way of life

¹⁹ We have, therefore, my brethren, confidence [Openness of faces.] to enter [In the entrance of.] the holy place through the blood of Jeshu; and a way of life ²⁰ which he hath now made new to us through the veil, which is his flesh; ²¹ and we have the High Priest over the house of God. 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;

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; ²³ and let us persevere in the confession of our hope, and not swerve; for faithful is He who hath promised us. ²⁴ And let us consider one another [One in the other.] with incitement to charity and good works.

²⁴ And let us consider one another [One in the other.] with incitement to charity and good works. ²⁵ And let us not forsake our congregation, as is the custom with some; but pray one with another; (and) so much the more as ye see that day to be approaching. 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?

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? ³⁰ We know him who hath said, Retribution is mine, and I will repay: and again, The Lord shall judge his people. ³¹ How terrible [Or, that fear (how) great of falling, &c.] to fall into the hands of Aloha the Living! ³² Be mindful, therefore, of the first days, those in which ye received baptism; and when ye sustained a great agony of sufferings, with ignominy and affliction; ³³ and when ye were made gazing-stocks, and were associated with men who also endured these (things). ³⁴ And it afflicted you on account of them who were bound; and the pillage of your goods with joy ye sustained, as knowing that ye have a possession in heaven, which is better, and passeth not away.

³⁴ And it afflicted you on account of them who were bound; and the pillage of your goods with joy ye sustained, as knowing that ye have a possession in heaven, which is better, and passeth not away. ³⁵ Destroy not, therefore, the confidence which you have, for which there is a great reward. ³⁶ But patience is needed by you, that ye may do the will of Aloha, and receive the promise.

³⁶ But patience is needed by you, that ye may do the will of Aloha, and receive the promise. ³⁷ Because (yet) a little time, and a very little, and He who cometh shall come, and not be slow. ³⁸ But the just by the faith of me shall live; but if he become weary,[Or, be cut off. ejq, abscidit, defecit, viribus defectus fuit. Ethpa. Excissus fuit; taedio affectus fuit. - SCHAFF.] my soul delighteth not in him. ³⁹ BUT we are not of the weariness [Or, the excision.] which bringeth [Or, leadeth.] to perdition, but of the faith which maketh us to possess our soul.

⁹ By faith he was a sojourner in the land that was promised to him, as in an alien state, and dwelt in tabernacles with Ishok and Jakub, sons of the inheritance which was his by the promise: ¹⁰ for he was expecting the city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is Aloha.

¹² Therefore from one who had failed from old age, were there begotten multitudes as the stars of heaven, and as the sand upon the shores of the sea, which have no number. ¹³ In faith died these all, not having gotten their promise, but from afar had beheld it, and exulted in it, and confessed that strangers they were, and sojourners in the earth. ¹⁴ For they who these things say, make manifest that their city they are seeking. ¹⁵ But if that city from which they had gone out they desired, they had opportunity to return and go to it. ¹⁶ But now it is known that a better (one) than that they desired; that (namely) which is in heaven. Wherefore Aloha was not ashamed their God to be called; for he hath prepared for them a city.

²⁶ and considered the riches of the reproach of Meshiha to be far greater than the treasures of Metsreen: for he contemplated the recompence of the reward.

¹ Wherefore we also, having all these witnesses, who as clouds encompass us, will set ourselves loose from every weight, and [Also.] the sin which at all time is prepared for us, and with perseverance will we run this race [Agony.] which is appointed to us. ² And let us look unto Jeshu, who hath become the chief and the perfecter of our faith; who, for the joy that was before him, endured the cross, and unto shame delivered himself, and at the right hand of the throne of Aloha hath sat down. ³ CONSIDER, therefore, how much he endured from sinners who were adversaries to themselves, that ye weary not, nor fail in your souls.

¹² WHEREFORE your relaxed hands and your trembling knees make strong; ¹³ and right ways make for your feet, that the member which is lame may not wander, but be healed. ¹⁴ Follow after peace with every man, and after holiness, without which man our Lord seeth not. ¹⁵ And be aware lest any one be found among you failing of the grace of Aloha; or lest any root of bitternesses should put forth the flower and injure you, and many be contaminated: ¹⁶ or lest there be found among you any fornicator, or dissolute, as Isu, who for one meal sold his birthright.

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

²² But ye have come nigh unto the Mount of Ziun, and to the city of Aloha the Living, to the Urishlem which is in heaven, and to the congregation of myriads of angels, ²³ and to the church of the firstborn (ones) who are written in heaven, and to Aloha the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the just who are perfected,

²⁵ Beware, therefore, lest ye be averse from Him who hath spoken with you; for if they escaped not who were averse from one who spake with them on earth, how much less we, if we withdraw from one who hath spoken to us from heaven? ²⁶ Him whose voice moved the earth? But now hath he promised and said, Yet once [more] I will move not only earth, but also heaven. ²⁷ But that which he hath said, ONCE, showeth the (final) changing of these which are moved, because they are made, that those may remain which are immutable. ²⁸ THEREFORE because we have received the kingdom which is immoveable,[Not moved.] let us hold the grace by which we may serve and please Aloha with reverence and with fear:

¹ Let the love of the brethren continue in you;

¹ Let the love of the brethren continue in you; ² and kindness to strangers forget not; for in this some who were made worthy, while not perceiving [Or, feeling it.] it, have received angels.

² and kindness to strangers forget not; for in this some who were made worthy, while not perceiving [Or, feeling it.] it, have received angels. ³ Remember those who are bound, as if with them ye were bound: be mindful of those who are afflicted, as men (should) who are clothed with flesh.

⁷ Remember your leaders; those who have spoken to you the word of Aloha: reflect on the consummation of their course, and imitate their faith.

¹² On this account Jeshu, that he might sanctify his people by his blood, without the city suffered. 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. ¹⁵ By him,[By his hand.] therefore, let us offer up at all time unto Aloha the sacrifices of praise, which are the fruits of the lips which give thanks to his name. ¹⁶ And forget not compassion and communication to the poor: for with these sacrifices a man pleaseth Aloha.

¹⁶ And forget not compassion and communication to the poor: for with these sacrifices a man pleaseth Aloha. ¹⁷ Be persuaded by your leaders, and obey them; for they watch for your souls as men who must render an account of you, that with joy they may do this, and not with groans; for that is not profitable for you.

²⁴ Ask for the peace of all your leaders, and of all the saints: they of Italia ask for your peace.

¹⁷ every good gift and perfect from above descendeth, from the Father of lights, with whom is no alteration, nor the shadow of vicissitude.

⁷ BE subject, therefore, unto Aloha; withstand Satana, and he will flee from you;

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,

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

¹² And let your conversation be good before all men; and they who speak against you malicious words shall see your good deeds, and shall glorify Aloha in the day of the probation.

¹⁷ Honour all; your brethren love; and Aloha revere; and kings honour.

²⁵ who had wandered as sheep, and are returned now unto the Shepherd and Guardian [Souro, curator.] of your souls.

⁸ But, finally be all unanimous, and suffer with those who suffer, and love one another, and be merciful and gentle;

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.

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

² that henceforth to the lusts of men he should not live, what time he is in the body, but to the will of Aloha.

⁴ And, behold, now they wonder and blaspheme at you because you riot not with them in that former indulgence;

⁷ BUT the end of all cometh; therefore be sober, and watch unto prayer. ⁸ And before every thing have ardent love for one another; for love covereth a multitude of sins. ⁹ And be lovers of guests without murmuring.

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.

¹⁴ And if you be reviled for the sake of the name of the Meshiha, you are happy; for the Spirit of the glory of Aloha resteth upon you. ¹⁵ Only, let no man of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a doer of evils. ¹⁶ But if he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify Aloha in that very name.

² feed the flock of Aloha which is delivered to you, and take care (of it) spiritually,[Vasuru ruchonoith.] not by constraint, but with the will; not for corrupt gain, but with all your heart; ³ not as lords of the flock, but that you may be to them a goodly example; ⁴ that when the Chief of pastors [Rab Roauthö.] shall be revealed, you may receive from him a crown of glory which fadeth not. ⁵ And you younger, be subject to your presbyters, and be clothed carefully [Or, closely.] with humility of mind towards one another; because Aloha is against those who exalt themselves, and to the humble he giveth grace.

¹⁰ But the God of grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Jeshu Meshiha, will give to us while we endure these few afflictions to be strengthened, and confirmed, and established in him for ever. ¹¹ To Him be glory and dominion and honour unto the age of ages. Amen. ¹² These few, as I consider, I have written to you by the hands of Silvanos, a faithful brother; and I persuade and testify, that this is the true grace of Aloha, this wherein you stand.

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

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.

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;

¹³ But new heavens and earth, according to his promise, we expect; those wherein righteousness dwelleth. ¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, while these you expect, be diligent, that, without blemish and without spot, of Him you may be found in peace.

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.

⁹ Whoever saith, then, that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now. ¹⁰ He who loveth his brother, in the light abideth, and offence is not in him.

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

¹⁰ In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha. ¹¹ For this is the commandment which you have heard from before, that you love one another. ¹² Not as Koen, who was from the Evil, and killed his brother. And on what account killed he him? unless that his own works were evil and his brother's righteous. ¹³ Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world hate you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth. ¹⁵ For every one who hateth his brother is a man-killer; and we know that in no man-killer can abide the life which is eternal. ¹⁶ In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves. ¹⁷ And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha? ¹⁸ My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth.

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.

¹ MY beloved, believe not all spirits, but discern the spirits whether they be from Aloha; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

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. 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.

²⁰ But if one shall say, I love Aloha, and his brother he hateth, he is a liar. For he who his brother whom he hath seen loveth not, how can he love Aloha himself whom he hath not seen?

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jeshu the Meshiha: it was not by water only, but by water and blood; ⁷ and the Spirit testifieth, because the Spirit himself is truth. ⁸ And there are three that testify, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three are in one.

⁵ And now I entreat thee, Kuria, - no new commandment writing to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, - that we love one another. ⁶ And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment; this commandment is according to that which you have heard from the beginning, that in it we should walk.

¹¹ Our beloved, be not imitative of the evil, but of the good. He who doeth good is of Aloha, and he who doeth evil hath not seen Aloha.

³ My beloved, while giving all diligence to write to you concerning our common salvation, it is needful for me to write to you, exhorting you (in particular) to do battle [D'aguno tebadun.] for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.

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;

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.

⁴ Juhanon to the seven churches which are in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is, and who was, and who cometh;[D'othe.] from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;

⁸ I am Olaph and Thau, saith Aloha the Lord, who is, and who was, and who cometh, the Omnipotent.[Lit. Achid kul, The holder or upholder of all. So throughout.] ⁹ I, Juhanon your brother, and your fellow-sharer in the affliction, and in the patience, which are in Jeshu Meshiha, was in the island which is called Pathamon, for the word of Aloha and for the testimony of Jeshu Meshiha.

¹¹ What thou seest, write in a book; and send to the seven churches, at Ephesos, and at Smurna, and at Pergamos, and at Thiatira, and at Sardis, and at Philidaphia,[Thus spelt in the Syriac copies.] and at Laodikia.

¹⁷ And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid upon me his right hand, saying, Fear not: I am the First and the Last; ¹⁸ and who liveth and who have been dead; and, behold, I am alive for ever and ever. Amen! And I have the keys of death and of Sheul.

⁴ But I have against thee, because thy first love thou hast forsaken.

⁶ And before the throne was a sea of brightness* like chrystalos; and in the midst of the throne, and around it, and before the throne, four living-ones,** who were full of eyes before and behind. [* Zagugitho, Heb. Zechuchith; root, zakak, to shine, be transparent. ** Chaivothee, "animated beings; " from chai, "to live."]

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.

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.

⁹ And when he had opened the FIFTH SEAL, I saw under the altar the souls of them who had been killed for the word of Aloha, and for the testimony of the Lamb, which had been theirs.

⁹ After these I saw, and, behold, a great assembly, which to number no man was able, from all people and nations and tribes and tongues, were standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and with palms in their hands; 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.

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

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. ² For true and righteous are his judgments; because he hath judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. ³ And the second time they said, Halleluia! And her smoke went up for ever and ever. ⁴ And the four-and-twenty presbyters fell, and the four living-ones, and worshipped Aloha who sitteth upon the throne, saying, Amen, Halleluia! ⁵ And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all his servants, and they who fear him, small and great. 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!

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

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.
