James 1 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ JAKUB, a servant of Aloha and of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, unto the twelve tribes who are dispersed among the nations: Peace. ² All joy shall be to you, my brethren, when you shall have entered into temptations many and various. ³ For you know that the proving of faith maketh you to possess patience; ⁴ but to patience let there be a perfect work, that you may be complete and perfected, and in nothing be deficient. ⁵ If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask of Aloha, who giveth to all expansively, and upbraideth not, and it is given to him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, not wavering.[Or, not being divided.] For he who wavereth is like the waves of the sea which the wind disturbeth. ⁷ And let not that man expect to receive any thing from the Lord, ⁸ who is divided in his mind, and disturbed in all his ways. ⁹ But let the humble brother glory in his exaltation, ¹⁰ and the rich in his humility; for as the flower of an herb, so he passeth. ¹¹ For the sun ariseth in his heat, and drieth the herb, and the flower of it falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth; so also the rich withereth in his reverses. ¹² Blessed the man who endureth temptations: for when he hath been proved he shall receive the crown of life, which Aloha hath promised unto them who love him. ¹³ Let no man say, when he is tempted, From Aloha I am tempted; for Aloha is not tempted with evils, and he no man tempteth. ¹⁴ But each man from his concupiscence tempteth himself, and desireth, and is drawn away. ¹⁵ And this desire conceiveth and beareth sin; and sin, when it is perfected, beareth death. ¹⁶ Do not err, my beloved brethren; ¹⁷ every good gift and perfect from above descendeth, from the Father of lights, with whom is no alteration, nor the shadow of vicissitude. ¹⁸ He willed, and begat us by the word of truth, that we might be the first-ones of his creatures. ¹⁹ And you, my beloved brethren, let every one of you be swift to hear, and slow to speak, and slow to be angry; ²⁰ for the wrath of man the righteousness of Aloha worketh not. ²¹ Wherefore, remove from you all impurity and the abounding of wickedness, and with meekness receive the word which is engrafted in our nature, which is able to save your souls. ²² BUT be doers of the word, and not hearers only, neither deceive yourselves. ²³ For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer of it, this (man) is like one who vieweth his face in a mirror; ²⁴ for he seeth himself and passeth, and hath forgotten what (manner of person) he was. ²⁵ But every one who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he is not a hearer of the hearing of forgetfulness, but a doer of works; and this shall be blessed in his work. ²⁶ And if a man thinketh that he serveth [Or, ministereth.] Aloha, and holdeth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, of this man his service is vain. ²⁷ For the service [Teshmeshtho, ministry.] which is pure and true before Aloha the Father, is this, to visit the orphans and widows in their afflictions, and that a man keep himself from the world without blemish.

²⁸ But I say to you, that every one who beholdeth a woman so as that he shall desire her, already committeth adultery in his heart.

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. ⁸ For every one who asketh receiveth, and he who seeketh findeth; and to him who knocketh it is opened. ⁹ Or what man from among you, who if his son shall ask bread, will reach forth a stone to him? ¹⁰ Or if a fish he shall ask of him, a serpent will he reach forth to him? ¹¹ If, therefore, you who are evil know to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?

¹¹ If, therefore, you who are evil know to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?

²¹ Not every one that saith to me, My Lord, my Lord, entereth into the kingdom of heaven; but he who doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. ²² Multitudes will say to me in that day My Lord, my Lord, in thy name have we not prophesied, and in thy name ejected devils, and in thy name performed many mighty works? ²³ And then will I confess to them, I never knew you; go far from me, ye workers of iniquity. ²⁴ Every one therefore who heareth these my words, and doeth them, shall be likened to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock. ²⁵ And the rain descended, and the torrents came, and the winds blew, and rushed against that house, but it fell not, for its foundations were placed upon the rock. ²⁶ And every one who heareth these my words, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a man who built his house upon sand. ²⁷ And the rain descended, and the torrents came, and the winds blew, and rushed against that house, and it fell, and the ruin of it was great.

Every day with you in the temple I sat and taught, and you did not apprehend me. ⁵⁶ But this was done that what is written in the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all deserted him, and fled. ⁵⁷ And they who apprehended Jeshu led him unto Kaiapha, chief of the priests, where the jurists and elders were assembled. ⁵⁸ But Shemun Kipha went after him from afar unto the court of the chief of the priests, and entered and sat within with the attendants, that he might see the end. ⁵⁹ But the chief priests, and the elders, and the whole assembly, sought against Jeshu witnesses, that they might put him to death;

⁴⁶ Why call you me, My Lord, my Lord, and the things which I say do not? ⁴⁷ Every man who cometh to me and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like.

⁴⁷ Every man who cometh to me and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like.

⁴⁷ Every man who cometh to me and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like. ⁴⁸ He is like a man who built a house, and digged deep, and laid the foundations upon the rock: but when there was an inundation,[Or, fulness, that is, of water.] the inundation beat against that house, and it could not shake it, for its foundations were set upon a rock.

⁹ I say also to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ¹⁰ For every one who asketh receiveth, and who seeketh findeth, and who knocketh hath it opened to him. ¹¹ For what father (is there) among you who, if his son shall ask bread, will reach to him a stone? or should he ask a fish, how instead of a fish will he reach to him a serpent? ¹² or if an egg he shall ask, will he a scorpion reach to him? ¹³ And if you, who are evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from the heavens give the Spirit of Holiness to those who ask him!

²² But when Jeshu heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking with thee; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come after me.

⁴⁸ but could not find what they might do to him; for all the people hung upon him to hear him.

¹⁹ but in your perseverance you shall possess your souls.

²⁸ You are they who have remained with me in my temptations. ²⁹ And I promise to you, as hath promised to me my Father, a kingdom; ³⁰ that you may eat and drink at the table in my kingdom, and may sit upon thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Isroel.

¹³ These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.

³ Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of Aloha. ⁴ Nikodimos said to him, How can an old man be born? Who can again the womb of his mother the second time enter, and be born? ⁵ Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, That if a man be not born of waters and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Aloha.

²⁷ Juchanon answered and said to them, A man cannot receive of his own will any thing, unless it be given to him from heaven.

⁶³ It is the Spirit that maketh alive, the body profiteth nothing: the words which I have spoken to you, they are spirit and they are life.

⁶⁸ Shemun Kipha answered and said, My Lord, unto whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life;

³⁵ The Jihudoyee say among themselves, Whither is this about to go, that we cannot find him? To the countries of the nations is he to go, and to teach the Heathens?

¹² BUT again spake Jeshu with them, and said, I am the Light of the world: he who followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall find the light of life.

³¹ And Jeshu said to those Jihudoyee who believed on him, If you persevere in my doctrine,[My word.] you shall be truly my disciples; ³² and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall liberate you.

³⁶ If He therefore, the Son, shall liberate you, truly shall you be sons of freedom.

²⁶ If any man serve me, let him come after me; and where I am, there shall be also my servant: whoever serveth me, him will my Father honour.

¹⁷ If these you know, happy are you if you do them.

¹³ And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do for you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son.

⁷ But if you abide in me, and my words abide in you, all whatever you will to ask shall be unto you.

⁹ As my Father hath loved me, so I have loved you: continue in the love of me. ¹⁰ If my commandments you will keep, you shall abide in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and abide in his love.

²³ And in that day you will ask me nothing. Amen, amen, I tell you, That whatsoever you shall ask my Father in my name, he will give you. ²⁴ Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name:* ask, and receive, that your joy may be full. [* Some copies add here, Velo medem, and not any thing.]

¹⁴ I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ Not that thou wouldest take them out of the world do I pray, but that thou wouldest keep them from the evil;

²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and that thou hast loved them, as me also thou hast loved.

¹³ And after they had entered, they ascended to that upper room in which were Petros, and Juhanon, and Jakub, and Andros, and Philipos, and Thoma, and Mathai, and Bar Tolmai, and Jakub bar Halphai, and Shemun the Zealous, and Jihuda bar Jakub.

⁵ But there were men dwelling in Urishlem who feared Aloha; Jihudoyee, from all the peoples who are under heaven.

⁴² And they were faithful in the doctrine of the apostles, and participated in prayer and in the breaking of the eucharist.

¹ AND a certain man whose name was Hanania, with his wife whose name was Shaphira, sold a field, ² and took from its value and concealed, while his wife consented, and brought of it silver and laid before the feet of the apostles. ³ And Shemun said to him, Hanania, how hath Satana thus filled thine heart that thou shouldest lie to the Spirit of Holiness, and conceal from the silver of the price of the field?

³¹ Him hath Aloha constituted a Prince and a Saviour, and elevated him at his right hand, to give repentance and remission of sins unto Israel.

⁴¹ And they went out from before them, rejoicing to be worthy for the sake of the Name to be ill treated.

¹ But Shaol willed to take part in his killing. And there was made in those days a great persecution against the church that was in Urishlem; and they were all dispersed in the country of Jihud and also among the Shomroyee, excepting only the apostles.

³³ And immediately I sent to thee, and thou hast well done to have come. And, behold, we are all before thee, and desire to hear every thing that hath been commanded thee by 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.

¹⁷ And he beckoned to them with his hand to be silent; and entered, and showed them how the Lord had brought him out from the house of the bound. And he said to them, Show these to Jakub and to the brethren; and he departed and went to another place.

²⁶ MEN, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and they among you who fear Aloha, unto you is sent the word of life.

⁴² And when they had gone out from among them, they besought of them that the next shabath they would speak to them these words. ⁴³ And when the congregation was dissolved, many Jihudoyee went after them; and also the proselytes who worshipped Aloha. And they discoursed (with) and persuaded them to cleave to the grace of Aloha.

⁴³ And when the congregation was dissolved, many Jihudoyee went after them; and also the proselytes who worshipped Aloha. And they discoursed (with) and persuaded them to cleave to the grace of Aloha. ⁴⁴ AND on the next shabath the whole city gathered to hear the word of Aloha.

⁴⁸ And when the Gentiles heard, they rejoiced and glorified Aloha; and they believed who were disposed [Or, set unto.] unto eternal life.

¹³ AND after they were silent, Jakub arose, and said, Men, brethren, hear me:

²¹ For Musha from former generations in all cities hath had preachers in the synagogues who on all shabaths read him.

²³ AND they wrote an epistle by their hands, thus: The apostles and presbyters and brethren, to those who are in Antiokia and in Syria and in Cilicia, the brethren who are of the Gentiles; peace.

¹¹ for more noble[Or, free.] were those Jihudoyee who were there than those Jihudoyee who were in Thessalonika; and they heard from them the word daily with joy, while they decided from the scriptures whether these things were so.

¹⁸ And the day following we entered with Paulos to Jakub, while all the presbyters were with him.

²⁶ Klaudios Lusios unto Felix the victorious governor, peace.

⁷ And for this hope (to which) our twelve tribes, with diligent prayers by day and night, are expecting to come, for this very hope am I accused by the Jihudoyee, king Agripos!

²² but Aloha hath helped me until this day; and, behold, I stand and testify to the small and to the great, yet nothing beyond Musha and the prophets do I speak, but those things which they said should come to pass;

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

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of Aloha for the salvation of all who believe in him, whether of the Jihudoyee first, or of the Aramoyee:

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

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

⁷ To them who seek, in perseverance of good works, glory and honour and incorruption, he giveth eternal life; ⁸ but to them who are rebellious, and obey not the truth, but unrighteousness obey, he will render wrath

⁸ but to them who are rebellious, and obey not the truth, but unrighteousness obey, he will render wrath ⁹ and indignation and affliction and distress, upon every man who worketh evils; to Jihudoyee first, and to Aramoyee; ¹⁰ but glory and honour and peace to every one who worketh good, to the Jihudoya first, and also to the Aramoya;

¹³ For not the hearers of the law are righteous before Aloha, but the doers of the law are justified.

¹⁷ (as it is written, I have ordained thee the father of many nations before Aloha, in whom thou hast believed, who maketh alive the dead, and calleth those who are not as though they were:)

² And by him we have been admitted through faith into this grace in which we stand, and exult in hope of the glory of Aloha. ³ And not thus only, but also in afflictions we exult; for we know that affliction perfecteth patience in us,

³ And not thus only, but also in afflictions we exult; for we know that affliction perfecteth patience in us, ⁴ and patience experience, [Or, proof, probation.] and experience hope:

¹² As by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death, so death hath passed upon all men through this, that all have sinned. ¹³ For until the law, sin, while it was in the world, was not reckoned sin, because the law was not; ¹⁴ yet death reigned from Adam until Musha on them also who had not sinned after the manner of the transgression of the law of Adam, who was the type of him who was to be. 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: 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.

¹⁷ But praise to Aloha that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you have been delivered.

²¹ And what product [Odsho.] had you then from that of which to-day you are ashamed? For the end of it is death. ²² And now made free from sin, and become servants to Aloha, you have holy fruits, [Phiree.] of which the end is the life of eternity. ²³ For the wages of sin is death; and the gift of Aloha the life of eternity by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

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

¹¹ For sin, by the occasion it found through the commandment, deceived me, and thereby killed me. 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.

²² For I rejoice in the law of Aloha in the interior man; ²³ but I see another law in my members, which warreth against the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.

¹⁵ For we have not received the spirit of servitude again unto fear, but we have received the Spirit of the adoption* of sons, by whom we cry, Father, our Father! [* Rucho da-simath benayo: The Spirit of the constituting of sons.]

¹⁷ And if sons, heirs also; heirs of Aloha, and the sons of the inheritance of Jeshu Meshiha. For if we suffer with him, with him also shall we be glorified.

¹⁷ And if sons, heirs also; heirs of Aloha, and the sons of the inheritance of Jeshu Meshiha. For if we suffer with him, with him also shall we be glorified. ¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this time are not equal to that glory which is to be revealed in us.

²⁵ But if we hope for that which is not seen, in patience we wait.

²⁸ BUT we know that those who love Aloha, in every thing he helpeth them for good; them whom he set before that they might be called. ²⁹ And from the first he knew them, and signified* them in the likeness of the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born of many brethren. [* Var'sham enum, Signed, designated, notified them.] ³⁰ But whom he before signified, them he called; and whom he called, them he justified; and whom he justified, them he glorified. ³¹ What then shall we say of these? If Aloha be for us, who is against us?

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Meshiha? Affliction, or sorrow, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? ³⁶ As it is written: For thee all the day long are we killed, we are reckoned as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷ But in these we all are victorious by the hand of him who hath loved us.

¹⁵ behold, also, he said unto Musha, I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious. ¹⁶ Therefore it is not by him who willeth, nor by him who runneth, but by Aloha the Merciful. ¹⁷ For it is said in the scripture to Pherun, For this I have raised thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. ¹⁸ Then upon whom he willeth he is merciful, and whom he willeth he hardeneth. ¹⁹ Perhaps thou wilt say, Of what then doth he complain; for who shall arise against his will? ²⁰ Who then art thou, O man, who givest answer against Aloha? Will the mass say to him who formeth it, Why thus hast thou formed me?

¹⁷ And if the branches were cut off, and thou who art a wild olive art engrafted in their place, and hast a participation of the root and fatness of the olive,

²² Behold, then, the goodness and the severity of Aloha: towards them who fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness; if not, thou also wilt be cut off.

²⁹ For Aloha turneth not in his gift and in his vocation. ³⁰ For as you also were not obedient unto Aloha at the first, and now have received mercy through their disobedience;

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.

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

¹² The night now passeth away, and the day hath drawn nigh; put we away then from us the works of darkness, and let us clothe with the arms of light. 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;

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.

⁶ But we speak wisdom among the perfect: not the wisdom of this world, nor the authorities of this world, which are abolished;

⁹ But as it is written, The eye hath not seen, nor the ear heard, nor the heart of man hath risen (to), that which Aloha hath prepared for those who love him.

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

⁷ For who distinguisheth thee? Or, what hast thou which thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou boast as if thou hadst not received?

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.

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,

³¹ and they who use this world should not exceed the just use [thereof]; for the fashion of this world passeth away.

³ but if a man love Aloha, this (one) is acknowledged of him.

²⁵ For every man who contendeth from every thing (besides with) holdeth his mind; and they who run (do it) that they may receive a crown that is corruptible, but we one that is incorruptible.

⁴ Now, there are distributions of gifts, but one is the Spirit; ⁵ and there are distributions of ministries, but one is the Lord; ⁶ and distributions of powers, but one is Aloha, who worketh all in every man. ⁷ But to each is given (such) a revelation of the Spirit as is profitable to him. ⁸ To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, but to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹ and to another, faith by the same Spirit; and to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; ¹⁰ but to another, powers; to another, prophecy; to another, the discernment of spirits; but to another, kinds of tongues; and to another, the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But all these one Spirit effecteth, and divideth unto every man as he willeth. ¹² For, as the body is one, and in it are many members, but all the members of the body, though many, are one body; so also is the Meshiha.

² and by which you are saved; of which, the word I have preached to you, you are mindful, unless you have vainly believed.

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).

³³ Mistake not; for evil narrations corrupt well-disposed [Reyonee basimee.] minds.

⁵⁸ Wherefore, my brethren, my beloved, be steadfast, be not moved, but be abounding in all time in the work of the Lord, while you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

¹⁶ To these as a perfume of death unto death, and to those as a perfume of life unto life. And unto these who is equal?

¹⁷ But the Lord himself is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord, (there) is liberty. ¹⁸ But we all with disclosed [Or, revealed.] faces behold the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, and into the resemblance of it are changed from brightness to brightness, as by the Lord the Spirit.

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.

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

¹⁰ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet many making rich; as having nothing, yet possessing every thing.

¹ Because then we have these promises, my beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all impurity of the flesh and of the spirit, and accomplish sanctification in the fear of Aloha.

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.

⁵ Prove yourselves, whether in the faith itself you stand; try yourselves. Are you not assured that Jeshu the Meshiha is in you, if you be not reprobates?

⁴ who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from this evil world, according to the will of Aloha our Father:

¹⁹ But others of the apostles I saw not, only Jakub, the brother of our Lord.

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

⁶ But, they who were considered to be somewhat, but what they were I care not, for Aloha accepteth not men's faces, they themselves added nothing unto me;

⁹ Jakub and Kipha and Juchanon, who were considered to be pillars, the right hand of fellowship gave to me and to Bar Naba, that we (should preach) among the Gentiles, and they among the circumcision:

¹² For until certain men came from Jakub, he had eaten with the Gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew himself and separated, because he was afraid of those who were of the circumcision.

⁴ And all these have you borne in vain? But would it be in vain?

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

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

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.

³ For if a man consider that he is something, while he is not, he deceiveth himself.

⁷ Do not err. Aloha is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that he reapeth.

⁹ And while we do that which is good, let it not weary us; for the time will be when we shall reap, and it will not weary us.

⁹ And while we do that which is good, let it not weary us; for the time will be when we shall reap, and it will not weary us. 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.

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

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; ¹³ and in whom you believed and were sealed with the Spirit of Holiness who was promised;

¹⁸ and would enlighten the eyes of your hearts to know what is the hope of his calling,

³ in those works in which we also walked from the first in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of our flesh and of our mind, and were the sons of wrath fully as the rest. ⁴ BUT Aloha, who is rich in his mercies, for his great love wherewith he loved us ⁵ while we were dead in our sins, made us alive with the Meshiha, and through his grace delivered us,

⁸ For by his grace are we saved through faith, and this was not of you, but is the gift of Aloha,

⁸ Wherefore it is said, He ascended on high; he led captive captivity, and gave gifts unto men. ⁹ But he who ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the low places of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended, is he who also ascended above all the heavens, to fulfil all. ¹¹ And he gave some who (are) apostles, and some who (are) prophets, and some who (are) evangelists, and some who (are) pastors, and some who (are) doctors;

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,

²² but that you put from you your former habitudes, the old man who is corrupt in deceitful lusts,

²⁶ Be angry and sin not, and let not the sun set upon your wrath,

²⁹ Let no hateful word come out of your mouth, but that which is comely and useful for edification, that it may communicate grace to those who hear.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and heat, and anger, and clamour, and scandal be taken from you, with all malice;

⁴ neither filthiness, nor words of folly, or of jeering, or fables, which are not necessary, but, instead of these, thanksgiving.

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.

²⁹ And this from Aloha hath been given to you, not only believing to believe in the Meshiha, but also for his sake to suffer,

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;

¹⁷ But, also, [if I should be] offered on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad, and rejoice with you all;

³ For the circumcision are we, who serve Aloha in the spirit, and glory in Jeshu the Meshiha, and confide not on the flesh.

⁸ and I also (still) reckon them all loss, for the grandeur [Rabutho.] of the knowledge of Jeshu Meshiha my Lord; for whose sake I have lost all things, and have reckoned as dung, that the Meshiha I may gain,

¹² I have not yet received, nor (am I) yet perfected; but I run, that so I may lay hold on that for the sake of which Jeshu the Meshiha hath laid hold on me. ¹³ MY brethren, I think not concerning myself that I have laid hold (of the final prize); but one (thing) I know, that what is behind me I forget, and to that which is before me I stretch, ¹⁴ and run towards the sign, to obtain the victory of the high vocation of Aloha by Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁴ and run towards the sign, to obtain the victory of the high vocation of Aloha by Jeshu Meshiha. ¹⁵ Let those, then, who are mature consider these things; and if otherwise you consider, this also will Aloha reveal to you.

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.

¹¹ and in all power be empowered according to the greatness of his glory in all patience and prolongedness of spirit:

²⁰ and by him to reconcile all things to himself, and to make peace through the blood of his cross, (even) by him, whether they be inhabitants in earth or in heaven. ²¹ YOU also, who before were aliens and adversaries in your minds by your evil works,

²³ if you continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and be not moved from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, and which is proclaimed to every creature who is under heaven, of which I, Paulos, am made a minister. ²⁴ I rejoice in the sufferings which are on your account, and fulfil the void of the afflictions of the Meshiha in my flesh for the sake of his body, which is the church;

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

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,

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. ⁶ For on account of these cometh the anger of Aloha upon the sons of disobedience.[Or, perverseness.] ⁷ In these also you walked aforetime, when you were conversant in them. ⁸ But now cease you from all these; anger, wrath, malice, reviling, impure speech:

⁸ But now cease you from all these; anger, wrath, malice, reviling, impure speech:

¹⁵ And let the peace of the Meshiha direct your hearts, for to it you have been called in one body; and give thanks to the Meshiha,

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.

⁶ And let your speech at all time be with grace as sprinkled [R. MADAK, aspersit.] with salt, each one knowing how it becometh him to return the answer.

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

⁵ because our preaching was not in words only with you, but with power, and with the Spirit of Holiness, and with the persuasion of truth. Also you know how we were among you, on account of you;

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.

⁴ as that we also boast of you in the churches of Aloha, of your faith and of your patience, in all your persecution and your affliction which you endure;

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks unto Aloha at all time for you, our brethren, beloved in our Lord, because Aloha hath chosen you from the beginning unto salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit, and by the belief of the truth. ¹⁴ For unto these Aloha called you by our preaching, that you should be the glory of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁵ And our Lord will direct your hearts to the love of Aloha, and to the patience of the Meshiha.

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.

⁸ I wish then for men to pray in every place, uplifting their hands purely and without wrath and without disputations.

¹⁵ But she is saved by her children, if they continue in faith, and in love, and in sanctification, and in chastity.

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

⁴ And if there be a widow who hath children, or children's children, let them learn first to do justly for their families, and to repay the debts (owing) to their parents; for this is acceptable before Aloha.

¹⁷ The rich of this world instruct, that they be not uplifted in their minds, nor be trustful upon riches which have no security, but upon Aloha the living, who giveth to us all abundantly for our comfort;

¹⁸ who have erred from the truth, saying, that the resurrection of the dead hath been, and the faith of some overturning.

²⁴ But a servant of the Lord oweth not to strive,[Fight.] but to be gentle towards every man, and teaching, and long-suffering, ²⁵ that he may instruct them who would contend against him with meekness, if by any means Aloha may give them conversion, and they may acknowledge the truth,

¹³ But wicked men and seducers add to their wickedness, deceiving, and being deceived.

¹⁵ and that from thy childhood thou hast learned the holy writings, which are able to make thee wise to salvation, through faith which is in Jeshu Meshiha. ¹⁶ FOR all scripture which from the Spirit is written, is profitable for doctrine, and for rebuke, and for correction, and for instruction [Or, discipline.] which is in righteousness: ¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect unto every good work, and completed.

¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect unto every good work, and completed.

⁸ And from now there is kept for me the crown of righteousness, which my Lord will give me in that day, because he is a righteous judge: yet, not only to me, but to all them who love his manifestation.

²¹ Be careful to come before winter. Ebulos and Pudis, and Linos, and Klaudia, and all the brethren, ask for your peace.

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;

¹¹ FOR the all-saving grace of Aloha [Or, the grace of Aloha saving all.] hath appeared to all men,

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.

³ For we also were afore-time without understanding, and disobedient and erring, and were subjected to various lusts; and in malice, and in envy we conversed, and were hateful, and also hating one another. ⁴ But when appeared the goodness and mercy of Aloha our Saviour, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but by his own mercy he saved us, by the laving of the birth which is afresh, by the renewing of the Spirit of Holiness,

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.]

³ how shall we escape if we despise those (words) which themselves are our salvation? those [namely] which began by our Lord to be spoken, and by them who from him heard them in us were confirmed,

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.

² For we have been evangelized as well as they: but the word which they heard did not profit them, because not contempered with faith in them who heard it.

¹⁵ And so he waited patiently, and obtained the promise.

²³ and let us persevere in the confession of our hope, and not swerve; for faithful is He who hath promised us.

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;

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.

³⁶ But patience is needed by you, that ye may do the will of Aloha, and receive the promise.

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.

¹⁷ By faith Abraham offered Ishok in his temptation and his only-born he lifted upon the altar, even him whom he had received by the promise:

³⁶ But others went through mockings and scourgings; others unto chains and imprisonments were given up, ³⁷ others were stoned, others divided, others died by the edge of the sword, others wandered about clothed with skins of sheep and of goats, necessitous, afflicted, and driven out. ³⁸ Men, of whom the world was not worthy, became as wanderers in the desert, and in mountains, and in dens, and in caverns of the earth.

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.

⁵ And ye have forgotten the instruction of him who, as unto children, hath said to you, My son, contemn not the discipline of the Lord, and let not thy soul fail when by him thou art corrected:

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:

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,

¹ Let the love of the brethren continue in you;

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.

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.

² All joy shall be to you, my brethren, when you shall have entered into temptations many and various.

² All joy shall be to you, my brethren, when you shall have entered into temptations many and various. ³ For you know that the proving of faith maketh you to possess patience; ⁴ but to patience let there be a perfect work, that you may be complete and perfected, and in nothing be deficient. ⁵ If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask of Aloha, who giveth to all expansively, and upbraideth not, and it is given to him.

¹² Blessed the man who endureth temptations: for when he hath been proved he shall receive the crown of life, which Aloha hath promised unto them who love him.

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

¹⁹ And you, my beloved brethren, let every one of you be swift to hear, and slow to speak, and slow to be angry;

²¹ Wherefore, remove from you all impurity and the abounding of wickedness, and with meekness receive the word which is engrafted in our nature, which is able to save your souls. ²² BUT be doers of the word, and not hearers only, neither deceive yourselves. ²³ For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer of it, this (man) is like one who vieweth his face in a mirror; ²⁴ for he seeth himself and passeth, and hath forgotten what (manner of person) he was.

²⁶ And if a man thinketh that he serveth [Or, ministereth.] Aloha, and holdeth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, of this man his service is vain.

⁵ Listen, my beloved brethren: Hath not Aloha chosen the poor of the world, but rich in faith, to be heirs in that kingdom which Aloha hath promised to them who love him?

⁵ Listen, my beloved brethren: Hath not Aloha chosen the poor of the world, but rich in faith, to be heirs in that kingdom which Aloha hath promised to them who love him? ⁶ But you have despised the poor. Behold, are not the rich uprisen against you? and do they not drag you to the house of judgment?

¹² So speak and so act, as those who by the law of liberty are to be judged.

¹⁴ WHAT is the use,[Henyono, utilitas.] my brethren, if a man say, I have faith, and works he hath not? How can his faith save him?

¹⁴ WHAT is the use,[Henyono, utilitas.] my brethren, if a man say, I have faith, and works he hath not? How can his faith save him? ¹⁵ And, if a brother or sister be naked, and wanting the food of to-day,

¹⁵ And, if a brother or sister be naked, and wanting the food of to-day, ¹⁶ and any one of you shall say to them, Go in peace, be warm, and be satisfied, and give them not what is necessary for the body, what (would be) the use?

¹⁶ and any one of you shall say to them, Go in peace, be warm, and be satisfied, and give them not what is necessary for the body, what (would be) the use? ¹⁷ Thus also the faith that hath not works is dead, (being) alone.

¹⁷ Thus also the faith that hath not works is dead, (being) alone. ¹⁸ For a man saith, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from my works.

¹⁸ For a man saith, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from my works. ¹⁹ Thou believest that Aloha is one: thou doest well; the demons also believe and tremble.

¹⁹ Thou believest that Aloha is one: thou doest well; the demons also believe and tremble. ²⁰ Art thou willing to know, O weak man, that faith without works is dead?

²⁰ Art thou willing to know, O weak man, that faith without works is dead?

²⁰ Art thou willing to know, O weak man, that faith without works is dead? ²¹ Our father Abraham, was he not by works justified, when he offered Ishok his son on the altar? ²² Thou seest that his faith was helpful [Vide CASTELL'S Hept. Lex. in -.] unto his works; and by works his faith was perfected, ²³ and the scripture was accomplished which said, that Abraham believed in Aloha, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness, and the friend of Aloha he was called. ²⁴ Thou seest that by works man is justified, and not by faith alone. ²⁵ So also Rachab the harlot, was she not by works justified when she received the spies, and by another way sent them forth? ²⁶ Thus, as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the faith which is without works is dead.

¹ LET there not be many teachers among you, my brethren, but know that a greater condemnation we incur. ² For (in) many we all offend. Every one who in word offendeth not, this is a perfect man, who is able to make subject also all his body.

² For (in) many we all offend. Every one who in word offendeth not, this is a perfect man, who is able to make subject also all his body.

² For (in) many we all offend. Every one who in word offendeth not, this is a perfect man, who is able to make subject also all his body. ³ For, behold, bridles into the mouth of horses we throw that we may make them submissive to us, and their whole body we turn. ⁴ Also the mighty ships, while the furious winds drive them, by a little wood are turned about to the region which the will of him who guideth doth contemplate. ⁵ So also the tongue is a small member, and uplifteth itself. A little fire also burneth many forests; [Obee sagiyee mauqdo.] ⁶ and the tongue is a fire, a world of sin, like a forest is the tongue itself among our members; it defileth all of our body, and burneth the course of our generations which run (forward) as a wheel, and kindleth also itself with fire.

¹⁵ because this wisdom from above descendeth not; but is earthly, from the reasonings of the soul, and from demons.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is pure, and full of peace, and meekness, and obedience, and full of mercies and good fruits, and is without division, and faces accepteth not.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is pure, and full of peace, and meekness, and obedience, and full of mercies and good fruits, and is without division, and faces accepteth not. ¹⁸ But the fruits of righteousness in quietness are sown by them who make peace.

¹ From whence are there among you wars and strifes? Is it not from the lusts which war in your members? ² You desire, and have not; you kill and are emulous, yet it cometh not into your hands; you strive and make wars, and nothing have because you do not ask; ³ you ask and receive not, because you ask wickedly, as that you may cherish your lusts. ⁴ Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is enmity with Aloha? He, therefore, who willeth to be the friend of this world, hath become the enemy of Aloha.

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

¹⁴ and they know not what shall be on the morrow: for what is our life, but a vapour which for a little while is seen, and vanisheth and endeth?

¹⁷ And he who knoweth the good and doeth it not, sin is to him.

¹ O rich men, howl and weep for the miseries which are coming upon you. ² Your riches are corrupt and stink, and your vestments are eaten of the moth, ³ and your gold and your silver rusteth, and the rust of them is for a witness against you, and is to eat your flesh. You have gathered fire for you for the last days! ⁴ Lo, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your lands, which you have refused, clamoureth, and the cry of the harvests to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth hath ascended. ⁵ For you have lived daintily on the earth, and have been wanton, and have nourished your bodies, as for the day of slaughter. ⁶ You have condemned and have killed the just, and he hath not resisted you. ⁷ BUT you, my brethren, prolong your spirit until the coming of the Lord; as the husbandman who expecteth the precious fruits of his lands, and prolongeth his spirit for them, until he receive the rain the early and the latter;

⁷ BUT you, my brethren, prolong your spirit until the coming of the Lord; as the husbandman who expecteth the precious fruits of his lands, and prolongeth his spirit for them, until he receive the rain the early and the latter; ⁸ so also you, prolong your spirit, and your hearts confirm; for the coming of our Lord draweth nigh. ⁹ Groan [Lo tetanchun.] not one against another, my brethren, that you be not judged; for, behold, the Judge standeth before the door. ¹⁰ The example of the prophets take to you, my brethren, to prolong your spirits in your afflictions, them who have spoken in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ For, behold, we give blessedness to them who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Iob, and the end which the Lord wrought for him you have seen; because that merciful is the Lord and compassionate.

¹¹ For, behold, we give blessedness to them who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Iob, and the end which the Lord wrought for him you have seen; because that merciful is the Lord and compassionate.

¹⁶ But confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. For great is the power of that prayer which the righteous prayeth.

¹ PETROS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, to the chosen-ones and sojourners who are scattered in Pontos and in Galatia, and in Kapadukia, and in Asia, and in Bithunia:

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, ⁴ and to the inheritance which is not corruptible, and not defiled, and not to be consumed, which is prepared for you in heaven,

⁶ wherein you will rejoice for ever, though in this little time you are afflicted [Or, straitened.] by manifold temptations which pass over you; ⁷ that the proof of your faith may be seen, which is more precious than gold refined which is proved in fire, unto praise and unto honour and unto glory, at the revelation of Jeshu Meshiha;

⁷ that the proof of your faith may be seen, which is more precious than gold refined which is proved in fire, unto praise and unto honour and unto glory, at the revelation of Jeshu Meshiha; ⁸ whom you have not seen and (yet) love, and in whose faith you exult with glorious joy that is not spoken: ⁹ that you may receive the recompence of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

²³ as men who are regenerated, not by a perishable seed, but by that which is imperishable, by the living word of Aloha which abideth for ever. ²⁴ Because all flesh is grass, and all its beauty as the flower of the field. The grass withereth and the flower drieth up,

¹ MAKE to cease therefore from you all malice and all guile, and dissimulation, and envy, and slander;

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

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

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

¹⁰ Who then willeth life, and loveth good days to see? Let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak not guile.

¹⁴ And (yet) if you suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are happy. And you will not fear them who would make you afraid, nor be shaken.

¹³ but rejoice that you are partakers of the sufferings of the Meshiha, that so also at the revelation of his glory you may rejoice and exult.

¹³ but rejoice that you are partakers of the sufferings of the Meshiha, that so also at the revelation of his glory you may rejoice and exult. 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.

⁴ that when the Chief of pastors [Rab Roauthö.] shall be revealed, you may receive from him a crown of glory which fadeth not.

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.

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.

⁶ but to knowledge perseverance, but to perseverance patience, but to patience godliness,[Dechalath Aloha, the fear, reverence, or worship of Aloha.]

⁹ For he with whom these are not found is blind, and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purification of his former sins.

⁹ - the Lord knoweth how to deliver from affliction them who fear him, but the evil unto the day of judgment to be tormented will he reserve.

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;

¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven from above, unto whom the blackness of darkness is reserved.

¹¹ As, therefore, all these are to be dissolved, how behoveth it you to be holy in your conversation,

¹⁶ As in all his epistles he speaks concerning these; in which there is somewhat difficult for intelligence. Those who are not knowing nor settled pervert them, as also the remaining scriptures, to their perdition.

⁵ And this is the annunciation which we have heard from him, and announce to you, that Aloha is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

⁸ And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us;

³ And by this we feel that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor any thing which is in it; for whoever loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For every thing that is in the world, is the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world. These which are not of the Father, but they are from the world itself. ¹⁷ And the world passeth, (both) it and its lusts; but he who doeth the will of Aloha, continueth for ever.

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

²¹ I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but you know it, and that no lie is of it, of the truth.

²⁴ And you, what you have heard from the first, let it continue with you. For, if what you have heard from the first continue with you, you also will continue in the Father and in the Son.

¹ And see how great is the love of the Father toward us, that sons he hath called us, and also made us! Therefore the world doth not know us, because that it hath also not known him. ² MY beloved, now are we the sons of Aloha; and it is not manifest, as yet, what we are to become, but we know, that when he is manifested, in his likeness we are and see him, according to that which he is. ³ And every one who hath in him this hope, purifieth himself, as He is pure.

⁷ My sons, let no man deceive you: he who worketh righteousness is righteous, as also the Meshiha himself is righteous.

⁹ Every one who is born of Aloha, sin doth not work, because that his seed is in him, and he cannot sin, because of Aloha he is born.

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. ¹⁹ And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts.

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.

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.

¹⁷ And in this is his love perfected with us, that openness of face we might have in the day of judgment; because that as He was, so also we are in this world. ¹⁸ Fear in love is not: but perfect love hath cast out fear, because fear is in terror.[Bequento, In periculo.- SCHAFF. Root, Quenat, vitavit, extimuit vehementer. Fabricius has in perturbatione.] He who feareth is not perfect in love. ¹⁹ We then will love Aloha, because he hath first loved us.

⁴ Because every one who is born of Aloha overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. ⁵ For who (is he) that overcometh the world, but he who believeth that Jeshu is the Son of Aloha?

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.

¹⁴ And this is the assurance that we have toward him, that all that we ask of him according to his will, he heareth us. ¹⁵ And if we are persuaded that he heareth us concerning what we ask from him, we are confident of receiving already the requests that we ask from him.

¹⁸ And we know that every one who is born of Aloha sinneth not. For he who is born of Aloha keepeth himself, and the Evil doth not approach him.

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.

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

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.

⁹ I know thy works, and affliction, and poverty, but thou art rich; and the blasphemy of them who say of themselves that they are Jihudoyee, and are not, but the synagogue of Satana. ¹⁰ Fear not any thing of those that thou art to suffer; for, behold, it will be that the accuser will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life

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

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

⁹ And they hymned a new hymn, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to Aloha by thy blood, from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. ¹⁰ And thou hast made them [Enun.] to our God kings and priests, and reigning upon the earth.

⁴ And I heard the number of them who were sealed, an hundred and forty and four thousands, sealed of every tribe of Israel:

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!

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, who is called the Deceiver, and the Adversary, which seduceth the whole habitable world. And he was cast upon the earth, and his angels with him were cast.

⁴ These are they who with women have not been defiled, for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goeth. These by Jeshu were redeemed from men, first-fruits unto Aloha and to the Lamb.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Write, blessed are the dead who in Aloha die from now. Yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, for their works follow with them.

¹⁴ And death and shiul were cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death. ¹⁵ And if a man was not found written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

²³ And the city hath no need of the sun nor of the moon to enlighten it; for the glory of Aloha illuminateth it, and the light thereof is the Lamb.

⁵ And night shall be no more: nor any need have they of the light of a lamp, or the light of the sun; for the Lord God enlighteneth them, and they will reign for ever and ever.

⁷ And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.[Polyglot, "Of this prophecy."]

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