²⁴ But he, Jeshu, did not confide himself to them, because he knew every man, ²⁵ and needed not that any should testify to him concerning any man, because he knew what is in man.

¹⁸ He who believeth on him is not judged, and he who believeth not is judged already, because he believeth not in the name of the only-begotten Son of Aloha. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light hath come into the world, and the sons of men have loved darkness rather than the light, for their deeds have been evil. ²⁰ For every one who doeth abominable things hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he who doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be known that in Aloha they are wrought.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father also requireth worshippers such as these.

²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and every thing that he doeth he showeth him; and greater than these works he showeth him, that you may wonder.

²² For the Father judgeth no man, but all judgment he hath given to the Son; ²³ that all men should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Amen, amen, I say to you, He who heareth my word and believeth on him who sent me, hath the life that is eternal, and into condemnation he cometh not, but hath passed from death unto life. ²⁵ Amen, amen, I say to you, That the hour cometh and also now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Aloha; and they who hear shall live.

²⁵ Amen, amen, I say to you, That the hour cometh and also now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Aloha; and they who hear shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father hath life in his person,[Ba-knumeh, in his person or substance.] so hath he given also to the Son to have life in his person, ²⁷ and hath empowered him also to execute judgment. Because he is the Son of man, ²⁸ marvel not at this; for the hour cometh when all they who are in the sepulchres shall hear his voice,

³² there is another who witnesseth of me, and I know that true is his testimony which he hath witnessed of me.

⁴⁰ And you will not come to me that the life that is eternal you might have. ⁴¹ Glory from the sons of men I receive not. ⁴² But I know you, that the love of Aloha is not in you. ⁴³ I have come in the name of my Father, and you have not received me. If another should come in his own name, him you would receive. ⁴⁴ How can you believe, who glory one from another are receiving, and the glory which is from one, Aloha, you seek not?

⁶² If you shall see then the Son of man ascend up to the place where he was from the first?

¹⁶ Jeshu answered and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me. ¹⁷ Whosoever willeth to do his will understandeth my doctrine, if it be from Aloha, or (if) from the will of myself I speak. ¹⁸ He who from the will of his (own) mind speaketh, the glory of himself seeketh; but he who the glory of him who hath sent him seeketh, is true, and no iniquity is in him.

²⁹ But I know him who am from him; and he hath sent me.

³³ Jeshu said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto him who sent me:

³⁹ But this he spake of the Spirit which they should receive who believe in him. For not yet was the Spirit given, because not yet was Jeshu glorified.

⁹ ...

¹⁴ Jeshu answered and said to them, Though I testify of myself, my testimony is the truth: because I know from whence I am, and whither I go. But you know not from whence I am, nor whither I go.

¹⁶ Yet if I judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me.

¹⁹ They say to him, Where is thy Father? Jeshu answered and said to them, You know neither me, nor my Father; for if me you had known, my Father also would you have known.

²³ And he said to them, From beneath are you; but I am from above: you are of this world; but I am not of this world. ²⁴ I said to you, that you will die in your sins: for if you believe not that I AM, you will die in your sins.

²⁹ And he who sent me is with me: my Father hath not left me alone; for whatever is pleasing to him I do at all time.

³⁸ That which I have seen with my Father I speak, and that which you have seen with your father you do.

⁴² Jeshu saith to them, If Aloha were your Father, you would love me; for I from Aloha came forth, and I came not of myself, but he sent me.

⁴² Jeshu saith to them, If Aloha were your Father, you would love me; for I from Aloha came forth, and I came not of myself, but he sent me. ⁴³ Wherefore my word do you not acknowledge? Because you cannot hear my word. ⁴⁴ You are from your father the accuser, and the desires of your father you are willing to do. He from the beginning was the killer of men, and in the truth he stood not; therefore the truth is not in him. And when he speaketh a lie, of his own he speaketh, because of falsity he is also the father. ⁴⁵ But I (speak the truth, and) because the truth I speak, you believe me not.

⁴⁵ But I (speak the truth, and) because the truth I speak, you believe me not. ⁴⁶ Who of you convicteth me of sin? Yet if the truth I speak, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁶ Who of you convicteth me of sin? Yet if the truth I speak, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁶ Who of you convicteth me of sin? Yet if the truth I speak, why do you not believe me? ⁴⁷ He who is of Aloha the words of Aloha heareth: therefore you hear not, because you are not of Aloha.

⁵⁵ But you know him not; but I know him: and should I say that I know him not, I should be a liar like you. But I know him, and keep his words.

²² These words said his parents, because they feared the Jihudoyee; for the Jihudoyee had determined that if any man should confess him that he was the Meshicha, they would cast him out of the synagogue:

³⁴ They answered and say to him, Thou altogether wast born in sins, and art thou teaching us? And they cast him without.

⁶ This parable spake Jeshu to them, but they knew not what he said with them.

²⁹ For my Father who gave them to me than all is greater; and no man from the hand of my Father can snatch them. ³⁰ I and my Father are One.

⁵⁰ nor reason that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not all the people perish. ⁵¹ But this from himself he spake not, but because he was high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jeshu should die for the people, ⁵² and not only for (that) people, but also that the children of Aloha who are dispersed he should gather into one.

¹⁶ But these the disciples knew not at that time; but when Jeshu was glorified, the disciples remembered that these were written concerning him, and (that) these (things) they had done unto him.

²³ BUT Jeshu answered and said to them, The hour hath come that the Son of man may be glorified.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now is the ruler of this world cast out.

³⁵ Jeshu saith to them, A little further time is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And whoever walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

⁴² Yet of the chiefs also many believed in him: but because of the Pharishee they did not confess, that they might not be put out of the synagogue:

⁴⁷ And he who heareth my words, and doth not keep them, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He who rejecteth me, and receiveth not my word, hath that which judgeth him: the word which I speak, that judgeth him in the last day. ⁴⁹ For I of myself have not spoken, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

¹ NOW before the feast of petscha, Jeshu knew that his hour was come, and that he should pass from this world unto his Father, and he had loved his who were in this world, and unto the end he had loved them.

³ But Jeshu himself, because he knew that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that from Aloha he had come forth, and unto Aloha he was going,

¹⁹ Now I tell you before it shall be, that when it is done you may believe that I am.

³³ My sons, a little longer I am with you, and you will seek me; and, as I said to the Jihudoyee, Whither I go you cannot come, so to you say I now.

³⁶ Shemun Kipha said to him, Our Lord, whither goest thou? Jeshu said to him, Whither I go, thou canst not now come after me; but at the last thou shalt come.

³⁶ Shemun Kipha said to him, Our Lord, whither goest thou? Jeshu said to him, Whither I go, thou canst not now come after me; but at the last thou shalt come. ³⁷ Shemun Kipha saith to him, My Lord, why cannot I come after thee now? My life for thee lay I down. ³⁸ Jeshu saith to him, Dost thou lay down thy life for me! Amen, amen, I tell thee, That the cock will not crow, until thou shalt have denied me three times.

¹ LET not your heart be troubled: believe in Aloha, and in me believe.

³ for I go to prepare for you a place. And if I go to prepare for you a place, I will come again and take you with me, that where I am you also may be. ⁴ And whither I go you know, and the way you know. ⁵ Thoma saith to him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way?

⁵ Thoma saith to him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way? ⁶ Jeshu saith to him, I (am) the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto my Father unless by me.

⁶ Jeshu saith to him, I (am) the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto my Father unless by me.

¹⁰ Believest thou not that I am in my Father and my Father in me? And these words that I speak, I speak not from myself, but my Father who dwelleth in me, he doeth these works. ¹¹ Believe that I am in my Father and my Father in me; and if not, even on account of the works, believe.

¹³ And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do for you, that the Father may be glorified in his Son. ¹⁴ And if you shall ask (of) me in my name, I will do.

¹⁶ and I will pray of my Father, and another Paraclete [Paraklito.] will he give you, who will be with you for ever,

¹⁶ and I will pray of my Father, and another Paraclete [Paraklito.] will he give you, who will be with you for ever, ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, he whom the world cannot receive, because it doth not see him, nor know him. But you know him; for with you he dwelleth, and in you is.

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, he whom the world cannot receive, because it doth not see him, nor know him. But you know him; for with you he dwelleth, and in you is. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans; for I will come to you ¹⁹ a little after. And the world seeth me not, but you shall see me; for because I live, you also shall live.

¹⁹ a little after. And the world seeth me not, but you shall see me; for because I live, you also shall live. ²⁰ In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

²⁰ In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹ He who hath my commandments and keepeth them is he who loveth me; and he who loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest to him myself.

²¹ He who hath my commandments and keepeth them is he who loveth me; and he who loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest to him myself. ²² Jihuda saith to him, (it was not Scarjuta,) My Lord, how to us wilt thou manifest thyself, and not to the world?

²² Jihuda saith to him, (it was not Scarjuta,) My Lord, how to us wilt thou manifest thyself, and not to the world? ²³ Jeshu replied, and said to him, He who loveth me, my word keepeth, and my Father will love him, and unto him we come, and a dwelling-place [A mansion.] with him we make.

²³ Jeshu replied, and said to him, He who loveth me, my word keepeth, and my Father will love him, and unto him we come, and a dwelling-place [A mansion.] with him we make. ²⁴ But he who loveth me not, keepeth not my word. And the word that you hear is not mine, but of the Father who sent me.

²⁶ But he, the Paraclete, the Spirit of Holiness, whom the Father sendeth in my name, he shall teach you every thing, and he shall remind you of all that I have said to you. ²⁷ PEACE I leave with you; my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid.

²⁷ PEACE I leave with you; my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid. ²⁸ You have heard what I have told you, that I go, and come to you (again). If you had loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to my Father; for my Father is greater than I.

²⁸ You have heard what I have told you, that I go, and come to you (again). If you had loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to my Father; for my Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now, behold, I have told you while it is not done, that when it has been you may believe. ³⁰ Henceforth I will not speak with you much; for the ruler of the world cometh, and in me hath he nothing.

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

¹¹ These have I spoken with you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

¹⁵ No more I call you servants, for the servant knoweth not what doeth his Lord; but my friends have I called you; wherefore all that I have heard from my Father, I have made known unto you.

¹⁵ No more I call you servants, for the servant knoweth not what doeth his Lord; but my friends have I called you; wherefore all that I have heard from my Father, I have made known unto you. ¹⁶ You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and placed you, that you also may go (and) yield much fruit; and your fruit shall remain, because all that you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give to you.

¹⁸ And if the world hate you, know that, before you, it hated me.

¹⁸ And if the world hate you, know that, before you, it hated me. ¹⁹ And if of the world you were, the world its own would have loved; but you are not of the world, for I have chosen you from the world; on which account the world hateth you.

¹⁹ And if of the world you were, the world its own would have loved; but you are not of the world, for I have chosen you from the world; on which account the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I spake with you, That there is no servant who is greater than his lord. If me they have persecuted, you also will they persecute; and if my word they had kept, yours also would they keep.

²⁰ Remember the word which I spake with you, That there is no servant who is greater than his lord. If me they have persecuted, you also will they persecute; and if my word they had kept, yours also would they keep. ²¹ But these all will they do to you on account of my name, because they know not Him who sent me.

²¹ But these all will they do to you on account of my name, because they know not Him who sent me.

²¹ But these all will they do to you on account of my name, because they know not Him who sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken with them, they had not had sin; but now have they no pretext for their sins.[Or, no cause on the faces of their sins.]

²² If I had not come and spoken with them, they had not had sin; but now have they no pretext for their sins.[Or, no cause on the faces of their sins.] ²³ He who hateth me, my Father also hateth.

²³ He who hateth me, my Father also hateth.

²³ He who hateth me, my Father also hateth. ²⁴ And if the works I had not done before their eyes which no other man hath done, they had not had sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father;[Also me, and also my Father.]

²⁴ And if the works I had not done before their eyes which no other man hath done, they had not had sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father;[Also me, and also my Father.] ²⁵ that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hated me undeservedly.

²⁵ that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hated me undeservedly. ²⁶ But when the Paraclete cometh, He whom I will send unto you from my Father, the Spirit of Truth, He who from my Father cometh forth, He shall testify of me.

²⁶ But when the Paraclete cometh, He whom I will send unto you from my Father, the Spirit of Truth, He who from my Father cometh forth, He shall testify of me. ²⁷ You also testify, because from the beginning are you with me.

¹ These have I spoken with you, that you may not be offended. ² They shall cast you out from their synagogues; and the hour cometh when every one who shall kill you will think that a sacrifice he offereth unto Aloha.

⁴ THESE have I spoken with you, that when their time hath come you may remember that I told you. But these at first I did not tell you, because with you I was. ⁵ But now I go unto Him who sent me; and no man of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? ⁶ For I have told you these, and sorrow hath come and filled your hearts.

⁹ Of sin, because they believe not in me; ¹⁰ but of righteousness, because unto my Father I go, and you see me not again;

¹⁰ but of righteousness, because unto my Father I go, and you see me not again; ¹¹ but of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. ¹² I have yet much to tell you, but you cannot now apprehend;

¹⁶ A LITTLE (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.

¹⁶ A LITTLE (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father. ¹⁷ And the disciples said one to another, What is this that he saith to us? A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little (while), and you shall see me, and because I go to my Father.

¹⁷ And the disciples said one to another, What is this that he saith to us? A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little (while), and you shall see me, and because I go to my Father.

¹⁷ And the disciples said one to another, What is this that he saith to us? A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little (while), and you shall see me, and because I go to my Father. ¹⁸ And they said, What is this little (time of) which he hath spoken? We know not what he saith. ¹⁹ But Jeshu knew that they sought to ask him; and he said to them, Concerning this do you inquire together that I told you, A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me?

¹⁹ But Jeshu knew that they sought to ask him; and he said to them, Concerning this do you inquire together that I told you, A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me? ²⁰ Amen, amen, I tell you, That you will weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and to you shall be sorrow; but your sorrow shall become joy.

²⁰ Amen, amen, I tell you, That you will weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and to you shall be sorrow; but your sorrow shall become joy. ²¹ A woman, when she travaileth, hath sorrow, that the day hath come for her giving birth; but when she hath borne a son, she remembereth not her anguish, for joy that a child of man hath been born into the world. ²² You also now have sorrow; but again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

²² You also now have sorrow; but again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 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.

²⁵ These in parables I have spoken with you; but the hour cometh when I will not speak with you in parables, but manifestly; and I will announce to you concerning the Father. ²⁶ In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will ask of the Father for you; ²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that from the Father I came forth. ²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go unto the Father. ²⁹ His disciples say to him, Behold, now openly speakest thou, and not one parable hast thou spoken. ³⁰ Now know we that every thing thou knowest, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that from Aloha thou hast come forth.

³³ These have I said to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress; but be of heart, I have conquered the world.

² As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him he should give the life which is eternal. ³ But this is the life which is eternal, that they know thee, who art the true Aloha,[The Aloha of truth.] and Him whom thou hast sent, Jeshu Meshicha. ⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth; the work which thou didst give me to do, I have finished it. ⁵ And now glorify thou me, my Father, with thyself, in that glory which I had with thee before the world was.

⁷ Now have they known that whatsoever thou hast given me is from thee. ⁸ And the words that thou gavest me I have given them, and they have received, and have known assuredly that from thee I came forth, and have believed that thou didst send me.

⁸ And the words that thou gavest me I have given them, and they have received, and have known assuredly that from thee I came forth, and have believed that thou didst send me. ⁹ And for them I pray; not for the world I pray, but for them whom thou hast given me, because they are thine. ¹⁰ And every thing of mine is thine, and thine is mine, and I am glorified in them. ¹¹ Henceforth I am not in the world; but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them through thy name, that (name) which thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we are. ¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them through thy name: those whom thou gavest me I have kept, and a man of them is not lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled. ¹³ BUT now I come to thee, and these (things) I speak in the world, that they may have my joy completed in themselves.

¹³ BUT now I come to thee, and these (things) I speak in the world, that they may have my joy completed in themselves.

¹⁹ And for their sakes I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated for the truth.

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. ²⁴ Father, those whom thou hast given I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see that glory of mine, which thou hast given to me; for thou lovedst me before the foundations of the world. ²⁵ My righteous Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

²⁵ My righteous Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ And I have made known unto them thy name, and I make it known that the love itself, wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I may be in them.

²⁵ But there stood by the cross of Jeshu his mother, and the sister of his mother, and Mariam, she who was (the wife) of Cleopha, and Mariam Magdalitha. ²⁶ Jeshu seeth his mother, and that disciple whom he loved, standing; and he said to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! [Athto, ho barek.] ²⁷ and he said to that disciple, Behold thy mother! [Ho emok.] And from that hour that disciple received her to be with him.

¹⁰ And those disciples went again to their place. ¹¹ But Mariam stood at the sepulchre weeping: and while weeping, she looked into the sepulchre, ¹² and saw two angels in white, who were sitting, one at his pillows, and one at his feet, where the body of Jeshu had lain. ¹³ And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. ¹⁴ This said she, and turned herself back, and saw Jeshu standing, and knew not that it was Jeshu. ¹⁵ Jeshu saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? and whom seekest thou? But she thought he was the gardener, and said to him, Sir, if thou have taken him away, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will go (and) take him away.

¹⁹ WHEN it was the evening of that day which (was) the first in the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jihudoyee, came Jeshu, stood among them, and said to them, Peace (be) with you. [Shalomo amkun.]

¹⁹ WHEN it was the evening of that day which (was) the first in the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jihudoyee, came Jeshu, stood among them, and said to them, Peace (be) with you. [Shalomo amkun.] ²⁰ This he said, and showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced when they saw our Lord.

²⁰ This he said, and showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced when they saw our Lord.

²⁰ This he said, and showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced when they saw our Lord. ²¹ Then said Jeshu unto them, Peace (be) with you: as my Father sent me, I also send you. ²² And when he had said these, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Spirit of Holiness: [Kabélu Rucho da-Kudsho.] ²³ if you forgive sins to a man, they shall be forgiven to him; and if you retain (the sins) of a man, they are retained. ²⁴ But Thoma, one of the twelve, he who was called the Twin, was not there with them when Jeshu came. ²⁵ And the disciples say to him, We have seen our Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the places of the nails, and put into them my fingers, and extend my hand into his side, I believe not. ²⁶ AND after eight days again within were the disciples, and Thoma with them. And Jeshu came, while the doors were shut, stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace (be) with you. ²⁷ And he said to Thoma, Bring thy finger hither and see my hands, and bring thy hand and thrust it into my side, and be not unbelieving but believing. ²⁸ And Thoma answered and said to him, My Lord, and my God! [Mari Valohi.] ²⁹ Jeshu saith to him, Now that thou hast seen, thou hast believed: blessed are they who have not seen me, and have believed.

¹ AFTER these Jeshu again showed himself to his disciples at the sea of Tiberios; and he showed (himself) thus. ² There were together Shemun Kipha, and Thoma who was called the Twin, and Nathanael, he who was of Kotna of Galila, and the sons of Zabdai, and two other of the disciples. ³ Shemun Kipha saith to them, I go to net fishes. They say to him, We also go with thee. And they went forth and ascended into a vessel; and through that night they netted nothing. ⁴ But when it was morning Jeshu stood on the sea shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jeshu. ⁵ And Jeshu said to them, Children, have you any thing to eat? They say to him, No. ⁶ He saith to them, Cast your net on the right side of the vessel, and you shall find. And they cast (it), and could not draw the net for the multitude of fishes which it held. ⁷ And that disciple whom Jeshu loved said to Kipha, This is our Lord. But Shemun, when he heard that it was our Lord, took his tunic, and threw it over his loins, for he was naked, and cast himself into the sea to come to Jeshu.

⁷ And that disciple whom Jeshu loved said to Kipha, This is our Lord. But Shemun, when he heard that it was our Lord, took his tunic, and threw it over his loins, for he was naked, and cast himself into the sea to come to Jeshu. ⁸ But the other disciples came in the vessel, for they were not far from the land, but as two hundred ameen, and they drew that net of fishes. ⁹ Then when they had ascended the land, they saw coals laid, and fish laid upon them, and bread. ¹⁰ And Jeshu said, Bring of the fish which you have now caught. ¹¹ And Shemun Kipha went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: yet for all this weight that net was not broken. ¹² And Jeshu said to them, Come, dine. But one of the disciples did not dare to ask him, Who is he? for they knew that it was our Lord. ¹³ And Jeshu drew near, and took bread, and fish, and gave to them. ¹⁴ This is the third time that Jeshu was seen by his disciples when he had risen from among the dead. ¹⁵ WHEN they had dined, Jeshu said to Shemun Kipha, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my lambs.

¹⁵ WHEN they had dined, Jeshu said to Shemun Kipha, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith to him again the second time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁶ He saith to him again the second time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁷ Jeshu saith to him again the third time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? And it grieved Kipha that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, My Lord, all things thou understandest, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁷ Jeshu saith to him again the third time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? And it grieved Kipha that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, My Lord, all things thou understandest, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁷ Jeshu saith to him again the third time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? And it grieved Kipha that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, My Lord, all things thou understandest, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁸ Amen, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou didst gird thy loins and walk whithersoever thou willedst; but when thou art old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another will bind thy loins, and conduct thee whither thou willest not. ¹⁹ But this he said, to show by what death he was to glorify Aloha. And when he had said these, he said to him, Come after me. ²⁰ AND Shemun turned, and saw the disciple whom Jeshu loved following; he, who leaned at the supper upon the bosom of Jeshu, and said, My Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?

²⁰ AND Shemun turned, and saw the disciple whom Jeshu loved following; he, who leaned at the supper upon the bosom of Jeshu, and said, My Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee? ²¹ This when Kipha saw, he said to Jeshu, My Lord, and this, what?

²¹ This when Kipha saw, he said to Jeshu, My Lord, and this, what? ²² Jeshu saith to him, If I will that this wait until I come, what (is that) to thee? Come thou after me. ²³ And that word went forth among the brethren, that that disciple dieth not. But Jeshu did not say, He dieth not, but, If I will that this (man) wait until I come, what (is that) to thee?

³ to whom also he showed himself alive, after he had suffered, with many signs, for forty days, appearing to them, and discoursing on the kingdom of Aloha. ⁴ And when he had eaten bread with them, he directed them that from Urishlem they should not remove; but await the promise of the Father, which, [said he,] you have heard from me. ⁵ For Juhanon baptized with waters, but you shall be baptized with the Spirit of Holiness after days not many.

⁹ And as these he said, while they beheld him, he was taken up, and the cloud received him, and he was covered from their eyes. ¹⁰ And while they looked to the heavens [Into heaven. - WALTON.] as he went, two men were found standing with them in white vestments; ¹¹ and they said to them, Men, Galiloyee, why stand you looking to the heavens [Into heaven. - WALTON.]? this Jeshu who is taken up from you into the heavens will so come as you have seen him ascend into the heavens.

¹⁷ It shall be in the last days, saith Aloha, I will pour [out] my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your youths shall see visions, and your elders shall dream dreams: ¹⁸ And upon the servants and upon the handmaids will I pour my Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

²² MEN, sons of Israel, hear these words; Jeshu Natsroya, the man who from Aloha appeared with you, with powers and mighty acts, which Aloha wrought among you by his hand, (even) as you know, ²³ This, who was separated thereunto by the foreknowledge and by the will of Aloha, you delivered into the hands of the wicked, and crucified and slew. ²⁴ But Aloha raised him, and loosed the bands of Shiul, because it was not possible that he should be holden in Shiul. ²⁵ For David said concerning him, I have foreseen my Lord at all time, who is at my right hand that I should not be moved; ²⁶ Wherefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: and also my body shall sojourn in hope; ²⁷ For thou wilt not leave my soul in Shiul, nor give thy Saint to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou wilt reveal to me the way of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy presence. ²⁹ Men, brethren, suffer me to speak openly with you concerning the chief-father David, that he is dead and also buried, and his sepulchre is with us till this day. ³⁰ For he was a prophet, and knew that the oath Aloha had sworn to him, Of the fruit of thy loins I will cause to sit upon thy throne: ³¹ And he foresaw and spake concerning, the resurrection of the Meshiha, that He would not be left in Shiul, nor would his body see corruption. ³² This Jeshu hath Aloha raised, and we all are his witnesses.

³² This Jeshu hath Aloha raised, and we all are his witnesses.

³² This Jeshu hath Aloha raised, and we all are his witnesses. ³³ And he it is who at the right hand of Aloha is exalted, and hath received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, and hath shed forth this gift, which, behold, you see and you hear.

³³ And he it is who at the right hand of Aloha is exalted, and hath received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, and hath shed forth this gift, which, behold, you see and you hear.

³³ And he it is who at the right hand of Aloha is exalted, and hath received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, and hath shed forth this gift, which, behold, you see and you hear. ³⁴ For David hath not ascended into heaven, because he himself hath said, The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand

³⁴ For David hath not ascended into heaven, because he himself hath said, The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand ³⁵ Until I place thine adversaries the stool of thy feet.

³⁵ Until I place thine adversaries the stool of thy feet. ³⁶ Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know, that Lord and Meshiha hath Aloha made this Jeshu, whom you crucified.

³⁶ Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know, that Lord and Meshiha hath Aloha made this Jeshu, whom you crucified. ³⁷ AND when they heard, they were pierced in their heart,* and said to Shemun and to the rest of the apostles, What shall we do, brethren? [* Consternavit, permovit animo. Ethpa. Perculsus, permotus, compunctus est.]

³⁷ AND when they heard, they were pierced in their heart,* and said to Shemun and to the rest of the apostles, What shall we do, brethren? [* Consternavit, permovit animo. Ethpa. Perculsus, permotus, compunctus est.] ³⁸ Shemun saith to them, Repent, and be baptized, every man of you, in the name of the Lord Jeshu, for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁴⁶ And every day they continued in the temple with one soul, and in the house they brake the bread, and took their food rejoicing and in the cleanness of their hearts,

⁴⁶ And every day they continued in the temple with one soul, and in the house they brake the bread, and took their food rejoicing and in the cleanness of their hearts, ⁴⁷ praising Aloha, (and) given (to be) in favour before all the people. And our Lord added daily them who were saved into the church.

¹⁴ but you the Holy and the Just denied, and demanded for you the man the murderer to be given to you.

¹⁴ but you the Holy and the Just denied, and demanded for you the man the murderer to be given to you. ¹⁵ And Him the Prince of life you killed, whom Aloha hath raised from among the dead; and we all are his witnesses. ¹⁶ And by faith in his name, this, whom you see and know, he hath strengthened and healed; and faith which is in him hath given to him this soundness before you all. ¹⁷ Now, however, my brethren, I know that through delusion you did this, as also did your princes; ¹⁸ and Aloha, according to that which he had before proclaimed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Meshiha should suffer, hath fulfilled this. ¹⁹ Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,

¹⁰ be this known to you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jeshu Meshiha Natsroya, whom you crucified, whom Aloha hath raised from among the dead, through this Himself, behold, this (man) standeth before you well. ¹¹ This is the stone which you builders rejected, and he is become the head of the corner. ¹² And in no other one [In no other man.] is redemption: for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind, by which we must be saved.

³³ And when they heard these words they were transported with rage, and were mindful to kill them.

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

¹³ AND witnesses of falsehood arose, and said, This man ceases not from speaking words contrary to the law and against this holy place. ¹⁴ For we have heard him say that this Jeshu Natsroya shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Musha delivered unto us.

⁵¹ O, hardened of neck and uncircumcised in your hearts and in your hearing, you at all times against the Spirit of Holiness stand up; as your fathers, so you also. ⁵² For which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted and slain? they who before announced the coming of the Righteous; him whom you delivered up and slew.

⁵² For which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted and slain? they who before announced the coming of the Righteous; him whom you delivered up and slew. ⁵³ And you have received the law by the precept of angels, and have not kept it. ⁵⁴ AND when they heard these they were filled with wrath in themselves, and they gnashed their teeth upon him.

⁵⁶ And he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of Aloha.

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.

¹ BUT Shaol was yet full of threatenings and murderous wrath [Wrath of slaughter.] against the disciples of our Lord. ² And he demanded letters from the chief priests which he should give at Darmsuk to the synagogues, that if he found (any) who walked in this way, men or women, he might bind and bring them to Urishlem.

¹⁶ For I will show him what he is to suffer on account of my name.

³¹ Nevertheless, in the church which was in Jihud, and in Galila, and Shomreen, there was peace, while (it) was edified; and going forward in the fear of Aloha, and in the consolation of the Spirit of Holiness, was multiplied.

³⁴ BUT Shemun opened his mouth, and said, In truth I comprehend that Aloha is no respecter of persons:

⁴⁰ and him did Aloha raise up on the third day, and gave him to be seen openly; ⁴¹ yet not to all the people, but to us who by Aloha were chosen to be unto him the witnesses, who ate with him and drank after his resurrection from among the dead. ⁴² And he commanded us to preach and to testify to the people that this is he who hath been separated by Aloha (to be) the Judge of the living and of the dead.

²⁸ And one of them arose whose name was Agabos: and he made known to them by the Spirit that a great famine would be in all the land. And that famine was in the days of Claudios Caesar.

⁵² And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Spirit of Holiness.

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to persevere in the faith. And they said to them, that through much tribulation it behoveth to enter the kingdom of Aloha.

²⁵ And in the dividing of the night, Paulos and Shilo prayed and glorified Aloha, and the chained-ones heard them.

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?

³⁰ For the times of error Aloha hath made to pass away; and in this time he commandeth all men, that every man in every place should repent; 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.

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.

²³ Nevertheless, the Spirit of Holiness in every city testifieth to me and saith, that bonds and afflictions are for me.

²³ Nevertheless, the Spirit of Holiness in every city testifieth to me and saith, that bonds and afflictions are for me. 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.

⁹ And he had four virgin daughters who prophesied. ¹⁰ And when we had been there many days, there came down from Jihud a certain prophet whose name was Agabos. ¹¹ And he came in to us, and took the loins'-girdle of Paulos, and bound his own feet and his hands, and said, Thus saith the Spirit of Holiness, So the man the master of this girdle will the Jihudoyee bind in Urishlem; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

³ I am a man a Jihudoya; and I was born in Tarsos of Cilicia, but was brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and instructed perfectly in the law of our fathers. And I was zealous for Aloha, even as all of you are also. ⁴ And this way I persecuted unto the death, while I bound and delivered to the house of the bound both men and women;

¹⁹ And I said, My Lord, they know also how I delivered to the house of the bound, and smote in all the synagogues, those who have believed in thee. ²⁰ And when the blood of thy martyr Estephanos was shed, I also stood with them, and fulfilled the will of his murderers, and kept the garments of them who stoned him. ²¹ And he said to me, Go: for I send thee far away to preach to the Gentiles. ²² And when they had heard Paulos until this word, they lifted up their voice, and cried, Take from the earth one like this; for he ought not to live. ²³ And as they shouted and cast their garments and threw dust to the heaven,

¹¹ And when it was night our Lord appeared unto Paulos, and said to him, Be strong: for as thou hast testified of me in Urishlem, so is it to be that thou also in Ruma shalt testify.

²⁵ And as he discoursed with them of righteousness, and of holiness, and of the judgment which is to come, Felix was filled with fear, and he said, Now go, and when I have opportunity [Or, place.] I will send for thee.

⁹ For I, at the first, proposed in my mind to do many things against the name of Jeshu Natsroya.

⁹ For I, at the first, proposed in my mind to do many things against the name of Jeshu Natsroya. ¹⁰ This I also did in Urishlem. And many holy ones I cast into the house of the bound, by the authority which I had received from the great priests; and when they were killed by them, I participated with those who condemned them.

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

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto Aloha, and receive the forgiveness of sins, and a lot with the saints through faith, which (is) in me.

²² Yet now I counsel you to be without anxiety; for not one of you will perish, but the ship only.

²⁴ And he said to me, Fear not, Paulos, for thou art to stand before Caesar; and, behold, Aloha hath given thee the gift of all who voyage with thee. ²⁵ Therefore, men, take courage; for I believe Aloha, that so it shall be as he hath told me.

¹⁷ for the righteousness of Aloha in it is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, the righteous by faith shall live.

² AND we know what is the judgment of Aloha in truth against them who in these things converse. ³ But thinkest thou, O man, who judgest them who in these converse, while thou also conversest in them, that thou wilt escape the judgment of Aloha? ⁴ Or upon the riches of his goodness, and upon his long-suffering, and upon the space he giveth thee, presumest thou? and knowest not that the goodness of Aloha unto repentance leadeth thee?

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

¹⁹ BUT we know that whatever the law saith, to them who are under the law it saith: that every mouth may be shut, and all the world be guilty unto Aloha. ²⁰ Because by the works of the law no flesh is justified before him; for from the law sin is known. ²¹ But now, without the law the righteousness of Aloha is revealed, and the law and the prophets (themselves) testify of it. ²² But the righteousness of Aloha is by faith [Lit. "By the hand of faith."] of Jeshu Meshiha, unto all and also upon all who believe in him. For there is no distinction: ²³ for all have sinned, and have failed of the glory of Aloha; ²⁴ and all are justified by grace freely, and (that) through the redemption which is in Jeshu Meshiha, ²⁵ whom Aloha before ordained (to be) a propitiation through faith in his blood for our sins which from the first we had sinned, ²⁶ within the space which Aloha hath given to us in his patience, unto the manifestation of his righteousness which (is) in this time: that he might be just, and might justify in righteousness him who is in the faith of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

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

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,

¹¹ And not thus only, but we also exult in Aloha through our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.

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.

⁹ But I was alive without the law formerly: but when the commandment came, sin lived, and I died.

³ Because the law was weak through the infirmity of the flesh, Aloha sent his Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin, on account of sin to condemn sin in his flesh;

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.

³³ Who is against the chosen of Aloha? Aloha justifieth. ³⁴ Who condemneth? The Meshiha hath died and arisen, and is at the right hand of Aloha, and prayeth for us.

³⁴ Who condemneth? The Meshiha hath died and arisen, and is at the right hand of Aloha, and prayeth for 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.

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.

³⁷ But in these we all are victorious by the hand of him who hath loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor authorities, nor powers, nor things subsisting, nor things to come, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate me from the love of Aloha which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

² For I testify of them that they have zeal for Aloha,[Or, the zeal of Aloha.] but not in knowledge. ³ But the righteousness of Aloha they know not, but seek the righteousness of themselves to establish, and on this account to the righteousness of Aloha they have not become subject.

³ But the righteousness of Aloha they know not, but seek the righteousness of themselves to establish, and on this account to the righteousness of Aloha they have not become subject. ⁴ For the end of the law is the Meshiha unto righteousness in all who believe in him.

¹⁰ But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Or thou, also, why despisest thou thy brother? For we shall all stand before the tribunal of the Meshiha: ¹¹ as it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, unto me every knee shall bow, and to me shall every tongue confess. ¹² Therefore, every one of us the answer for himself shall give unto Aloha.

²¹ It is well not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing by which our brother is offended.

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

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

⁸ which not one of the authorities of this world hath known; for if they had known it, the Lord of glory they would not have crucified.

⁸ which not one of the authorities of this world hath known; for if they had known it, the Lord of glory they would not have crucified. 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. ¹⁰ BUT unto us hath Aloha revealed, by his Spirit. For the Spirit all things searcheth, also the depths of Aloha.

¹⁰ BUT unto us hath Aloha revealed, by his Spirit. For the Spirit all things searcheth, also the depths of Aloha. ¹¹ For what man knoweth what is in man, save the spirit of a man which is in him? so also that which is in Aloha man knoweth not, but only the Spirit of Aloha. ¹² But we not the spirit of this world have received, but the Spirit who is from Aloha, that we might know that the gifts from Aloha are given unto us; ¹³ which also we speak, not with the learning of words of wisdom of men, but with the learning of the Spirit; and with spirituals the spirituals we compare.

¹ AND I, my brethren, could not speak with you as with the spiritual, but as with the carnal, and as with babes in the Meshiha. ² I have sustained you with milk,[Or, have given you milk to drink.] and have not given you meat; for as yet you could not, nor can you now, (bear it).

⁵ Therefore, do not judge before the time, until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the thoughts of hearts. Then will there be praise to each man from Aloha.

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.]

³ Know you not that you are to judge angels? How much more those (matters) which are of this world? ⁴ But if you have matters to be judged regarding the world, those who are little-esteemed [Or, contemptible.] in the church make you to sit in judgment.

³ I therefore make known to you, that there is no man who by the Spirit of Aloha speaketh, and saith that Jeshu is accursed; [Cherem.] and no man also can say that Jeshu is THE LORD unless by the Spirit of Holiness.

²⁴ And if all should prophesy, and there come in to you the ignorant, or of those who believe not, he is convicted [Or, searched.] by you all, and reproved by you all;

⁵ And he was seen of Kipha, and after him, of the twelve, ⁶ and after them, he was seen of more than five hundred brethren together, many of whom survive [Or, are standing.] till now, and some of them have slept. ⁷ And afterward he was seen of Jakub, and after him of all the apostles: ⁸ but last of them all, as of an abortion, he was seen also of me. ⁹ I am the least of the apostles, and am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of Aloha:

¹⁴ And if the Meshiha hath not risen, vain is our proclamation, and vain also your faith. ¹⁵ But we are also found false witnesses of Aloha; for we have testified of Aloha that he hath raised the Meshiha, while he hath not raised (him). ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, Meshiha also hath not risen ¹⁷ and if Meshiha hath not risen, your faith is made void and you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ And already have they too who have slept in Meshiha perished. ¹⁹ And if in this life only we hope in the Meshiha, more miserable are we than all men. ²⁰ BUT now hath the Meshiha risen from among the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who sleep.

⁴⁷ The first man who is of the earth is dust, the second man the Lord from heaven.

²² Whosoever loveth not our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, let him be accursed. Our Lord cometh.

³ Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation,

¹² Therefore because we have this hope, we speak the more boldly, ¹³ and (are) not as Musha, who threw the veil upon his face, that the sons of Israel might not look upon the End of that which was to be abolished. ¹⁴ But they are blinded in their minds unto this day. For when the old covenant is read, that very veil standeth upon them, nor is it apparent (to them) that in the Meshiha it hath been abolished. ¹⁵ And unto this day, when Musha is read, the veil is thrown upon their heart. ¹⁶ And when any one of them is converted unto the Lord, the veil from him is uplifted. 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.

² But we have rejected the secrets of shamefulness; and walk not with craft, nor deal deceitfully (with) the word of Aloha; but by the revelation of the truth make we ourselves manifest to the minds of all men before Aloha. ³ But if our gospel is hid, to those who perish is it hid: ⁴ (to) them whose minds the god of this world hath blinded because they believe not; lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Meshiha, who is the image of Aloha, should arise upon them.

⁴ (to) them whose minds the god of this world hath blinded because they believe not; lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Meshiha, who is the image of Aloha, should arise upon them. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but the Meshiha, Jeshu our Lord; but ourselves that we are your servants for the sake of Jeshu. 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.

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 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.

¹⁴ For the love of the Meshiha constraineth us, because we judge this, That if one for every man hath died, then (was) every man dead.

²¹ For Him who knew not sin, on our account hath he made sin, that we might be in him the righteousness of Aloha.

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

⁴ GREAT is the freedom I have with you, and great in you is my glorying; I am full of consolation, and my joy greatly aboundeth in me in all my afflictions.

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.

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

¹³ For you have heard of my former manners in Judaism,[Yehudoyutha.] that I exceedingly persecuted the church of Aloha, and made it desolate. ¹⁴ And I excelled in Judaism more than many of the sons of my years who were of my kindred, and was exceedingly zealous for the doctrine of my fathers.

⁴ But when the fulness of the time had come, Aloha sent his Son, and made from a woman, and made under the law,

²⁷ For it is written, Be glad, O barren, who hast not borne; exult and cry, thou who hast not travailed; because multiplied are the sons of the desolate, more than the sons of the married wife.

⁵ But we through the Spirit, who is from faith, expect the hope of righteousness.

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

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.

¹⁶ have not ceased to give thanks on your behalf, and to remember you in my prayers; ¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Father of glory, would give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in his knowledge,

² in which from the first you walked according to the worldliness of this age,[Olmoyutheh dolmo hono.] and according to the will of the prince of the power of the air, of that Spirit who urgeth [D'methchaphto.] in the sons of disobedience;

¹⁴ For he is our peace, he who hath made the two one, and hath destroyed the wall which stood in the midst, and the enmity, through his flesh; ¹⁵ and the law of prescriptions, with its requirements, he hath abolished, that of the two he might create in himself one new man, and make peace; ¹⁶ and hath reconciled the two in one body with Aloha, and by his cross hath slain the enmity. ¹⁷ And coming, he preached peace to you, to the far off, and to the nigh; ¹⁸ therefore, through Him there hath been made for us both an access by one Spirit unto the Father.

¹⁴ and I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, ¹⁵ from whom is named the whole family [Abohutho, paternity.] who are in heaven and in earth; 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. ²⁰ But to Him who is able with power beyond all to do for us above what we ask or conceive, according to his power which worketh in us,

⁷ But unto each of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Meshiha.

⁷ But unto each of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Meshiha. ⁸ Wherefore it is said, He ascended on high; he led captive captivity, and gave gifts unto men.

⁸ Wherefore it is said, He ascended on high; he led captive captivity, and gave gifts unto men.

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?

⁹ But he who ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the low places of the earth?

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.

¹⁰ He who descended, is he who also ascended above all the heavens, to fulfil all.

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;

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;

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

¹² for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the (church of the) Meshiha, ¹³ until we be all one in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of Aloha, and one man perfect in the measure of the stature of his completeness;

¹³ until we be all one in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of Aloha, and one man perfect in the measure of the stature of his completeness; ¹⁴ and that we be no [more] children, agitated and altered by every wind [Or, spirit.] of fraudulent doctrines of men, which in their craftiness they fabricate deceptively in order to seduce, ¹⁵ but be confirmed in our love, that whatever is ours may increase in the Meshiha, who is the head,

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

¹⁰ that you may distinguish those things that are proper, and may be pure and without offence in the day of the Meshiha,

⁶ in zeal, a persecutor of the church; and in the righteousness of the law, without fault have I been. ⁷ But these things which were my gain, I have reckoned loss for the Meshiha; 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, ⁹ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of the Meshiha, which is righteousness that is from Aloha:

⁷ And the peace of Aloha, which is greater than all knowledge,[Knowing.] shall keep your hearts and your minds, through Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁹ For in him (the Father) hath willed all fulness to dwell; 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.

³ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.

⁹ in whom dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

¹⁵ and by the yielding up of his body he hath prostrated principalities and powers, and hath shamed them openly by himself.

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,

¹⁵ who killed our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and the prophets who were of them, and ourselves have persecuted, and Aloha have not pleased, and have acted adversely to all men; ¹⁶ who forbid us to speak with the Gentiles that they might be saved; to fill up their sins for all time: but upon them cometh the wrath unto the end!

⁴ For while also we were with you, we foretold you that we were to be afflicted, as you know that it hath been.

⁷ on this account we were comforted in you, my brethren, in all our anxieties and our afflictions because of your faith.

⁷ on this account we were comforted in you, my brethren, in all our anxieties and our afflictions because of your faith. ⁸ And now we live, if you are established in our Lord. 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,

¹¹ But Aloha himself, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, will make straight our way to you, ¹² and he will cause your love to increase to one another, and to every man, even as we love you; 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 While they shall be saying, Peace and tranquillity, then unawares will destruction arise against them, as distress upon the child-bearer, and they shall not escape.

² Grace be with you, and peace, from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

⁸ when he executeth the punishment, with burning of fire, on them who have not known Aloha, and on them who have not acknowledged the gospel of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

³ Let no one deceive you by any one of the methods,[Or, schemes.] because unless there shall come first the rebellion,[Mardutho.] and there be revealed the man of sin, the son of perdition;

¹⁰ and with all unrighteous deception which is done in them who perish, because they have not received the love of the truth by which they might have been saved. ¹¹ Wherefore Aloha will send them the working of deception, that they will believe the lie, ¹² and all of them will be judged who have not believed in the truth, but have had pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹² and all of them will be judged who have not believed in the truth, but have had pleasure in unrighteousness.

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

¹⁶ But our Lord Jeshu Meshiha himself, and Aloha our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation,[Or, the consolation of eternity.] and a good hope through grace, ¹⁷ will comfort your hearts, and establish in every word and in every work of good.

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

¹³ me, who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I received mercy, because while ignorant I did it, without faith.

¹⁵ Faithful is the word, and worthy of reception that Jeshu the Meshiha came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first.

⁵ For one is Aloha, and one is the Mediator of Aloha and of men; the man Jeshu Meshiha, ⁶ who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony which cometh in its time,

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

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

¹ But know this, that in the last days hard times will come; ² and men will be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, boastful, lofty, blasphemous, to their men not obedient, deniers of grace, impious, ³ calumniators, subjected to lust, brutal, haters of the good, ⁴ traitors, impetuous,[Or, hasty.] puffed up, lovers of lusts rather than the love of Aloha; ⁵ having a form of the worship of Aloha, but from the power of Aloha afar off: (them) who are such put from thee.

¹² But all they who will in the fear of Aloha to live in Jeshu Meshiha, are persecuted.

¹⁶ In the first defence no man was with me, but all of them left me. May this not be reckoned to them! ¹⁷ But my Lord stood with me, that by me the preaching might be fulfilled, and (that) all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.

³ who himself is the resplendence of his glory, and the image of his Being, and upholdeth all (things) by the power of his word; and he, in his (own) person, hath made purification of sins, and hath sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.[The Greatness in the high places.]

¹⁴ FORASMUCH as the sons have been made to participate in flesh and blood, he also likewise was made a partaker of these very things; that by his death he might abolish him who held the power of death, who is Satana,

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 Neither is there any creature that is concealed from before him; but every thing (is) naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom they shall give account.[D'leh yohbin pethgomo, to whom giving the answer.] ¹⁴ THEREFORE having such a great High Priest, Jeshu Meshiha, the Son of Aloha, who hath ascended to heaven, let us persevere in the confession of him. ¹⁵ For we have not an high priest who cannot suffer along with our infirmity, but (one) who, [having been] tempted in every thing as we, (was) separate from sin. 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.

¹¹ But concerning this Malki-Zedek himself, we have much discourse to utter, and [which is] hard to explain, because ye are infirm in your hearing. ¹² FOR ye ought to be teachers, on account of the time [occupied] by you in learning; but now ye have need again to be taught those which are the first scriptures of the beginningwords of Aloha; and need have ye for milk, and not for solid food.

¹² FOR ye ought to be teachers, on account of the time [occupied] by you in learning; but now ye have need again to be taught those which are the first scriptures of the beginningwords of Aloha; and need have ye for milk, and not for solid food. ¹³ But every one whose food is milk is not versed in the doctrine of righteousness, because he is a babe. ¹⁴ But for the perfect is solid food; those, (namely,) who, because exercised, have trained their senses to distinguish the good and the evil.

² and for the doctrine of ablution,[Compare chap. Dan 9:10; Exo 29:4; Num 8:7; 19:7.] and of imposition of the hand,[Lev 4:4; Lev 16:21; Num 27:18; Deu 34:9.] and for the resurrection from the place [House of the dead. Isa 26:19; Eze 27.] of the dead, and for the judgment which is eternal? [Dan. 12:2.]

¹⁸ that by two things that are not changed, in which it cannot be that Aloha should lie, great consolation should be ours who have fled unto him: and that we may retain the hope that is promised to us,

² And to him Abraham separated the tenth from every thing which he had with him. Now his name, being expounded, (is,) the King of Righteousness; and again, MalekSholem, which is, King of peace:

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. ²⁶ For such an High Priest as this was adequate for us; pure, and without evil, and without spot; who was separate from sins, and exalted higher than heaven.

²⁷ And as it is ordained to the sons of men, that they must once die, and after their death the judgment;

⁵ Wherefore when he cometh into the world he saith, Sacrifices and oblations thou hast not willed, but with a body hast thou clothed me: ⁶ and entire burnt-offerings for sins thou hast not required. ⁷ Then said I, Behold, I come; in the sum [Or, head, chief.] of the books it is written concerning me, that I shall do thy will, Aloha. ⁸ Above [From above.] he said, Victims, and oblations, and entire burnt-offerings for sin thou hast not willed; those which are offered in the law. ⁹ And afterwards he said, Behold, I come, that I may do thy will, Aloha. In this he hath done away with the first, that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ For by this his will we are sanctified by the offering of the body of Jeshu Meshiha, which was once. ¹¹ For every high priest who stood and ministered every day, offered the same sacrifices, which can never purify (from) sins. ¹² But this [High Priest] one sacrifice hath offered for sins, and hath sat down at the right hand of Aloha for ever: ¹³ waiting from henceforth until his adversaries are set as a footstool beneath his feet.

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

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?

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.

²⁵ and chose to himself to be in affliction with the people of Aloha, and not for a little time to delight (himself) in sin;

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.

⁶ for whom the Lord loveth he chastiseth, and scourgeth those children in whom he taketh pleasure.

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.

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

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.

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; ⁸ whom you have not seen and (yet) love, and in whose faith you exult with glorious joy that is not spoken:

⁸ whom you have not seen and (yet) love, and in whose faith you exult with glorious joy that is not spoken:

¹⁰ That salvation which the prophets investigated when they prophesied concerning the grace which was to be given unto you, ¹¹ and searched into, what time the Spirit of the Meshiha who dwelt in them showed and testified of the future sufferings of the Meshiha, and his glory which (should be) after them. ¹² And all that they searched was revealed to them; for not for themselves they inquired, but to us (and) of us [Lan dilan.] they prophesied those (blessings) which now are revealed to you by them who have preached to you [Or, evangelized you.] by the Spirit of Holiness which is sent from heaven; for into these themselves the angels also desire to look.

⁷ To you therefore is given this honour, to them who believe: but to them who are disobedient ⁸ he is a rock [Kipha.] of offence, or a stone [Abn'na.] of stumbling, and they are offended at him in not obeying the word, because to this they are set.

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

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.

⁹ Withstand him then, being confirmed in the faith; and know that upon your brethren also who are in the world, these same sufferings come.

¹⁴ knowing that the decease of my body is shortly (to be,) as also our Lord Jeshu Meshiha hath made me know.

¹ BUT there were false prophets in the world, as also among you there will be false teachers, they who introduce heresies of destruction,[Abadono.] and, the Lord who bought them denying, bring upon themselves swift destruction. ² And many will go after their wickedness; they, on account of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. ³ And with fraudulency [Olubutho is used both for avaritia and defraudatio.] of deceptive words will they make merchandise of you; they, whose judgment (denounced) before tarrieth not, and whose destruction doth not sleep. ⁴ For if Aloha upon the angels who sinned was not lenient, but in chains of darkness shut them in the deeps, and delivered them to be kept to the judgment of pain;

⁴ For if Aloha upon the angels who sinned was not lenient, but in chains of darkness shut them in the deeps, and delivered them to be kept to the judgment of pain; ⁵ and on the former world was not lenient, but Nuch, who was the eighth preacher of righteousness, he preserved, when the deluge came upon the world of the wicked;

⁵ and on the former world was not lenient, but Nuch, who was the eighth preacher of righteousness, he preserved, when the deluge came upon the world of the wicked; ⁶ the cities of Sadum and of Omuro he burned, and with overthrow condemned them, while an example to the wicked who should be he set them;

⁶ the cities of Sadum and of Omuro he burned, and with overthrow condemned them, while an example to the wicked who should be he set them; ⁷ also Lut the righteous, who was bruised with the impure conversation of the lawless, he delivered;

⁷ also Lut the righteous, who was bruised with the impure conversation of the lawless, he delivered; ⁸ - for in sight and in hearing, while (that) just (man) dwelt among them, from day to day, his righteous soul by their lawless works was tortured;

⁸ - for in sight and in hearing, while (that) just (man) dwelt among them, from day to day, his righteous soul by their lawless works was tortured; 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.

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. ¹⁰ But most those who after the flesh follow the concupiscence of impurity, and of authority are contemptuous; daring and arrogant, (and) who by greatness [Or, glory, majesty.] are not moved while they blaspheme: ¹¹ whereas angels, who in power and strength are (so much) greater than they, bring not against them a judgment of blasphemy. ¹² But these, as the dumb animals, by nature (ordained) to the knife and to destruction, blaspheming what they know not, in their own destruction will be destroyed; ¹³ while they in whom is iniquity the wages of iniquity shall receive. They repute as pleasure the luxury which is in the day. Blemishes (are they), full of spots, who delighting in their refreshments are luxurious: ¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and sins which cease not, alluring souls that are not established. An heart have they which is disciplined in covetousness; ¹⁵ sons of malediction, who, forsaking the straight way, have erred, and gone in the way of Belam bar Beur, who the wages of iniquity loved. ¹⁶ But he had reproof of his transgression; (for) the dumb ass which spake with the voice of man rebuked the madness of the prophet. ¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven from above, unto whom the blackness of darkness is reserved. ¹⁸ For while they speak scoffing words of vanity, they allure with impure desires of the flesh those who almost escaped from them who have their conversation in error. ¹⁹ And liberty to them they promise, while they (themselves) are the servants of corruption; for the thing by which a man is overcome, to that he is subject. ²⁰ For if [when] they have escaped from the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jeshu Meshiha, with those very things entangled they are again over-come, their end becomes worse than the beginning. ²¹ For it had been more tolerable for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, when they knew, to turn backward from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it hath happened to them according to the true proverb, that The dog hath turned unto his vomit; the sow which had washed into the wallow of the mire.

⁷ But the heaven which is now, and the earth, by his own word are set, being reserved unto fire, unto the day of judgment and the perdition of wicked men.

³ And what we have seen and heard, we make known also to you, that you may have communion with us; and our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jeshu the Meshiha. ⁴ And these write we unto you, that our joy which is in you may be complete.

¹ My sons, these write I to you, that you sin not. And if a man shall sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jeshu Meshiha, the Just;

²⁰ And you have an anointing from the Holy, and you discern every man.

²⁷ And you, also, if the anointing continue with you which you have received from him, have not need that a man should teach you; but as the anointing that is from Aloha itself teacheth you concerning every thing, and is true, neither is falsity in it; and as it hath taught you, continue in it.

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.

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

²³ And this is his commandment, That we believe in the name of his Son Jeshu Meshiha, and love one another, as he hath commanded us.

⁴ But you of Aloha are the children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is with you, than he who is in the world.

⁶ But we are of Aloha; and he who knoweth Aloha heareth us; and he who is not of Aloha heareth us not. In this itself we perceive the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.

⁸ and every one who loveth not, knoweth not Aloha.

¹³ And by this we know that in him we abide, and he abideth in us, because of his Spirit he hath given us. ¹⁴ And we have seen and we testify that the Father hath sent his Son, the Redeemer of the world.

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.

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jeshu the Meshiha: it was not by water only, but by water and blood;

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. ¹⁶ If a man shall see his brother sin a sin not obnoxious to the death, he shall ask, and life be given to him, to those who sin not as unto the death. For there is the sin of death; - it is not concerning this I say that a man shall pray.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of Aloha hath come, and hath given us knowledge to know the truth, and to be in him in the truth, in his Son Jeshu the Meshiha. This is Aloha the true, and the life which is eternal.

¹² Though I have many things to write to you, I will not with parchment and ink; but I hope to come to you, and mouth with mouth to speak, that our joy may be complete.

¹⁵ Behold, the Lord cometh, with myriads of his saints, to execute judgment upon all; and to convict all the wicked for all their deeds which they have wickedly done; and for all those obdurate words which ungodly sinners have spoken.

²⁰ But you, my beloved, in your holy faith be edified anew, praying in the Holy Spirit, ²¹ ourselves in the love of Aloha to keep, while looking for the mercy of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto our eternal salvation.

²⁴ But to him who is able to keep you without falling and without spot, and to establish you without blemish,

¹ THE Revelation of Jeshu Meshiha, which Aloha gave unto him, to show unto his servants the things which must be done speedily; and which he made known, sending by his angel unto his servant Juhanon,

⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him, and they also who transfixed [Dadaqruhi.] him; and for him shall mourn all the tribes of the earth. Yes, Amen!

¹⁹ Write, then, what thou hast seen; and those which are, and those which are to be after them.

²³ And her sons will I kill with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you every one according to your works.

⁹ Behold, I will give [to those] of the synagogue of Satana, who say that they are Jihudoyee, and are not, but lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and they shall know that I have loved thee.

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.

¹ AND I saw, when the Lamb had opened one of the SEVEN SEALS. And I heard one of the four living-ones speaking as the voice of thunder, Come, and see! ² And I looked: and there was a white horse; and he who sat upon him had a bow, and there was given to him a crown; and he went forth conquering, so that he might conquer. ³ And when he had opened the SECOND SEAL, I heard the second living-one, who said, Come! ⁴ And there went out another horse (which was) red; and to him who sat upon him was given to take peace from the earth, and thus that one another they should kill; and there was given to him a great sword. ⁵ And when he had opened the THIRD SEAL, I heard the third living one, saying, Come, and see! And I saw, and, behold, a black horse, and he who sat upon him had a balance in his hand. ⁶ And I heard a voice from the midst of the four living-ones, saying, A choenix of wheat for a dinar; and three choenices of barley for a dinar; and the oil and the wine hurt not. ⁷ And when he had opened the FOURTH SEAL, I heard the fourth living-one, saying, Come, and see! ⁸ And I saw a green horse,[Susio Uroko.] and he who sat upon him had the name of Death, and Shiul followed after him. And there was given to him power over the fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, and with famine, and with death, and with the toothed beast of the earth. 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 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. ¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, Until when, O Lord, holy (and) true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth? ¹¹ And there was given to each of them the white robe; and it was told them, that they should rest yet a little time, until should be completed their fellow-servants, their brethren who would be killed as also they. ¹² And I saw when he opened the SIXTH SEAL, there was a great movement; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and all the moon became as blood; ¹³ and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as the fig-tree casteth her figs, when from a great wind she is shaken. ¹⁴ And the heavens were sundered [Ethphareshu.] as a book that is rolled, and all the mountains and islands from their places were moved; ¹⁵ and the kings of the earth and great ones, and the chiefs of thousands, and the rich and the mighty ones, and every servant, and every freeman, hid them in the caverns, and in the rocks of the mountains, ¹⁶ saying to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him who sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. ¹⁷ For the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?

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.

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. ¹⁵ On account of this they are before the throne of Aloha, and minister to him day and night in his temple. And he who sitteth upon the throne will protect them.[Nageen alihun, "shadow over them."] ¹⁶ They will not hunger or thirst again, nor will the sun come down upon them, nor any heat; ¹⁷ for it is the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne who will feed them, and will lead them unto fountains of living waters, and Aloha will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

¹⁰ And they who dwell upon earth will rejoice over them and be gratified, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented them who dwell upon earth.

² And having in her womb, she cried, and was in travail, and was pained to give birth. ³ And I saw another sign in heaven; and behold a great dragon of fire, which had seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.[Polyglot.] ⁴ And his tail drew the third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman when she was about to give birth, that when she had given birth he might devour her son. ⁵ And she gave birth to a male child, who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her son was rapt unto Aloha and unto his throne.

⁷ And there was war in heaven. And Mikoel and his angels [came - Polyglot.] to fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels warred. ⁸ And they could not prevail, and their place was found no more in heaven. 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. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in heaven saying, Now is there salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Meshiha; because the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before Aloha day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of his testimony. But they loved not their lives unto death.

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

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship; and he said to me, See (that thou do it) not; thy fellowservant (am I), and of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jeshu. Aloha worship; for the testimony of Jeshu is the spirit of prophecy.

² And he laid hold of the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the deceiver, and Satana, who seduced all the habitable world, and bound him a thousand years; ³ and cast him into the abyss, and shut and sealed over him, that he should no more seduce the nations, until the thousand years be completed: but after them he will be loosed a little time.

¹⁰ And the accuser who seduced them was cast into the lake of fire and of sulphur, as was also the beast of prey and the false prophet; and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat thereon, from whom from his face fled earth and heaven; and place (as) to this was not found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is (the Book) of Life. And the dead were judged from the (records) which are written in the books according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and shiul gave up the dead which were in them. And they were judged every one according to their works. 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.

¹ AND he showed me a river of waters of life, clear as crystal, coming forth from the throne of Aloha and of the Lamb. ² In the midst of the wide street of it, and by the river, here and there, (was) the tree of life, which produced twelve fruits, in every month giving each one its fruit. And the leaves of the tree (are) for the healing of the nations. ³ And there shall be no more falling away; [Nethro.] and the throne of Aloha and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him. ⁴ And they shall see his face, and his name shall be upon their foreheads. 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. ⁶ And he said to me, These sayings are faithfulness and truth. And the Lord God of the spirit of the prophets hath sent me, his angel, to show to his servants the things which must soon be done. ⁷ And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.[Polyglot, "Of this prophecy."] ⁸ And also I Juhanon am he who heard and saw these. And when I had heard and seen, I fell to worship before the feet of the angel who showed them to me. ⁹ And he said to me, See (that thou do it) not. I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them who keep the words of this book. Worship Aloha. ¹⁰ And he said to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time draweth nigh. ¹¹ He who doeth evil shall work evil still; and he who is filthy shall be filthy still; and the righteous shall still do righteousness, and the holy be holy still. ¹² 12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to every one according as is his work. ¹³ I am Olaph and Thau, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 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. ¹⁵ Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one who loveth and maketh a lie. ¹⁶ I JESHU have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things before the churches. I am the root and the offspring of Dawid, as the bright, the morning star. ¹⁷ AND THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE SAY, COME! AND HE WHO HEARETH SHALL SAY, COME! AND HE WHO THIRSTETH MAY COME, AND HE WHO WILLETH, TO TAKE THE WATERS OF LIFE FREELY. ¹⁸ I testify to every one who heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, That if any man shall set upon them, Aloha will set upon him the plagues which are written in this book. ¹⁹ And if any man make to cease from the words of the book of this prophecy, Aloha will make to cease his portion of the tree of life, and of the holy city of which is written in this book. ²⁰ He who testifieth these saith, Yes: I come quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jeshu. ²¹ The grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with all the saints. Amen.
