¹⁴ But Jeshu, when he saw, was displeased, and said to them, Permit the children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of those who are as these is the kingdom of Aloha. ¹⁵ Amen I say to you, That whoever shall not receive the kingdom of Aloha as a child, shall not enter into it. ¹⁶ And he took them on his arms, and laid his hand upon them, and blessed them.

²⁷ Jeshu beheld them and said to them, With the sons of men this is not possible, but with Aloha: for every thing is possible with Aloha. ²⁸ THEN began Kipha to say, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have cleaved to thee.

²⁸ THEN began Kipha to say, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have cleaved to thee. ²⁹ Jeshu responded and said, Amen I say to you, There is no man who forsaketh houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on account of me, and on account of my gospel, ³⁰ who shall not receive a hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecution; and in the world which cometh the life that is eternal. ³¹ But many (are) first who will be last, and last (who will be) first.

²⁶ But concerning the dead, that they rise: have you not read in the book of Musha, how from the bush Aloha said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Ishok, and the God of Jacub?

²⁰ And unless the Lord cut short those days, no flesh would live; but on account of the elect whom he hath chosen, those days he hath cut short.

²² Blessed are you when the sons of man hate you, and separate you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of man.

⁴⁰ The disciple than his master is not greater; but every man who is perfect shall be as his master.

²⁹ (And all the people that heard him, and the tribute-gatherers also, justified Aloha, because they were baptized with the baptism of Juchanon. ³⁰ But the Pharishee and Sophree rejected against themselves the will of Aloha, because they were not baptized of him.)

²³ And he said before all, Whoever willeth to come after me, must deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and come after me.

⁴⁹ And Juchanon answered and said, Raban,[Our Master.] we saw a man who was casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he came not with us after thee. ⁵⁰ Jeshu saith to them, Forbid him not; for he who is not against us, he is for us.

⁵⁴ And when Jacub and Juchanon his disciples saw it, they say to him, Maran,[Our Lord.] art thou willing that we call fire to descend from heaven to consume them, as Elia did? ⁵⁵ But he turned and reproved them, and said, You know not of what spirit you are:

²⁵ AND, behold, a certain Sophra stood up to try him, saying, Malphona, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? ²⁶ But Jeshu said to him, In the law how is it written, how readest thou?

²⁶ But Jeshu said to him, In the law how is it written, how readest thou? ²⁷ He answered and said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy Aloha with [Or, from all, &c.] all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbour as thyself,

²⁷ He answered and said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy Aloha with [Or, from all, &c.] all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbour as thyself, ²⁸ Jeshu said to him, Thou hast said correctly. This do, and thou shalt live.

⁵³ And while he spoke these (words) to them, the Sophree and Pharishee began to be displeased, and they were wrathful, and controverted his words, ⁵⁴ and enticed him on many (points), seeking to lay hold on something from his mouth that they might be able to accuse him.

¹⁵ And he said to his disciples, Beware of all avarice: for life is not in the abundance of riches. ¹⁶ And he spake a parable to them: The ground of a certain rich man produced him much provisions. ¹⁷ And he thought within himself, and said, What shall I do? for I have not where to collect my provisions. ¹⁸ And he said, This will I do: I will destroy my house of stores, and will build and enlarge it; and there will I collect all my provender and my good things: ¹⁹ and I will say to my soul, My soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years: be at ease, eat, drink, and be merry. ²⁰ But Aloha said to him, Reasonless (man)! [Chasir reyona, wanting reason.] this night thy soul they shall require of thee; and then, (the things) which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? ²¹ So is he who layeth up to himself treasures, and towards Aloha is not rich.

³³ Sell your substance, and give alms: make to you bags which become not old, and a treasure which is not transient, in the heavens, where the thief does not approach, and the moth destroys not.

²³ ONE had demanded (of) him if they are few who are saved. ²⁴ But Jeshu said to them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for I say to you that many will seek to enter in, but shall not be able.

³⁰ And, behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.

²⁶ Whoever cometh with me, and doth not hate his father and his mother, and his brethren and his sisters, and his wife and his children, and himself also, a disciple he cannot be of mine.

³³ So every one of you who doth not leave all his possession, cannot be unto me a disciple.

⁷ I say to you, that thus shall there be joy in heaven over one sinner who repenteth, more than over the ninety and nine just ones who have no need of repentance.

²⁹ But he said to his father, Behold, how many years have I wrought thee service, and never have I transgressed thy commandment: yet never hast thou given me a kid, that I might feast with my friends.

⁹ Also I say unto you, Make to you friends from this wealth of unrighteousness, that, when perfect, they may receive you into the tabernacles of eternity.

¹³ No man can serve two lords; for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or the one he will honour, and the other despise. You cannot serve Aloha and wealth. ¹⁴ But the Pharishee, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.

¹⁸ Every one who looseth his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and every one who taketh the dismissed, committeth adultery. ¹⁹ NOW there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in byssos* and purple, and every day feasted gaily.** [* Butso, Hebrew, buts; (2Ch 5:12); an Egyptian linen, extremely fine, soft, and white. ** Gayóith.] ²⁰ And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Loózar; and he lay at the gate of him who was rich, bruised with wounds, ²¹ and desired to fill his belly with the crumbs which fell from the table of that rich. And also the dogs came and licked his wounds. ²² Now that poor man died, and angels conducted him to the bosom of Abraham: but that rich man also died, and was buried. ²³ And, tormented in shiul, he lifted up his eyes afar, and seeth Abraham, and Loózar in his bosom. ²⁴ And he cried with a high voice, and said, My father Abraham, have compassion upon me, and send Loózar, that he may dip the top of his finger in waters, and moisten my tongue; for, behold, I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ Abraham said to him, My son, remember that thou didst receive thy goods in thy life, and Loózar his evils, and now, behold, he reposeth here, and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And with all these, there is a great void set between us and you, that they who would pass from hence unto you are not able, nor they also who would pass from thence to us. ²⁷ He said to him, I pray thee, then, my father, to send him unto my father's house: ²⁸ for five brethren have I; let him go and testify unto them, that they also come not to this place of torment.

¹¹ and, behold, the Pharisha stood (and) within himself these words prayed: Aloha, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious and unjust, and adulterers; nor as this publican. ¹² But I fast twice in the week, and tithe whatever I possess. ¹³ But that publican stood from afar, and would not even his eyes lift up to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Aloha, be merciful to me a sinner! ¹⁴ I tell you that this one went down justified to his house, rather than that Pharisha. For every man who exalteth himself shall be humbled, and every one who humbleth himself shall be exalted. ¹⁵ Then they brought to him infants, that he should touch them: and the disciples saw it, and rebuked them. ¹⁶ But Jeshu called them, and said to them, Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those who are as these, of them is the kingdom of heaven. ¹⁷ Amen I say to you, That whoever does not receive the kingdom of Aloha as a child, shall not enter into it. ¹⁸ AND one of the rulers asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? ¹⁹ Jeshu saith to him, Why callest thou me good, and none is good but one, Aloha? ²⁰ The commandments thou knowest, Thou shalt not kill, and, Thou shalt not commit adultery, and, Thou shalt not steal, and, Thou shalt not witness false testimony, Honour thy father and thy mother.

²⁰ The commandments thou knowest, Thou shalt not kill, and, Thou shalt not commit adultery, and, Thou shalt not steal, and, Thou shalt not witness false testimony, Honour thy father and thy mother. ²¹ He saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood.

²¹ He saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood. ²² But when Jeshu heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking with thee; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come after me.

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

²² But when Jeshu heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking with thee; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come after me. ²³ But he, when he heard these words, was grieved; for he was very rich.

²³ But he, when he heard these words, was grieved; for he was very rich. ²⁴ And when Jeshu saw that he was grieved, he said, How difficult is it to those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of Aloha!

²⁴ And when Jeshu saw that he was grieved, he said, How difficult is it to those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of Aloha! ²⁵ It is easier for a camel into the aperture of a needle to enter, than the rich into the kingdom of Aloha.

²⁵ It is easier for a camel into the aperture of a needle to enter, than the rich into the kingdom of Aloha. ²⁶ They who heard said to him, And who can be saved? ²⁷ But Jeshu said, Those (things) which with the sons of men are not possible, with Aloha are possible to be done.

²⁷ But Jeshu said, Those (things) which with the sons of men are not possible, with Aloha are possible to be done. ²⁸ Shemun Kipha said to him, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have come after thee.

²⁸ Shemun Kipha said to him, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have come after thee. ²⁹ Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to you, That no man who leaveth houses, or fathers, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of Aloha, ³⁰ and shall not receive by two-fold (as) many in this time, and in the world that cometh the life that is eternal.

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

³ Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of Aloha.

⁵ Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, That if a man be not born of waters and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Aloha.

¹⁵ that every man who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal.

¹⁴ but every one who shall drink of the waters that I will give him shall never thirst; but those waters that I shall give him shall be in him a fountain of waters, that shall spring forth to the life of eternity.

³⁹ Investigate the scriptures; for in them you think you have the life that is eternal, and they testify of me.

⁴⁴ How can you believe, who glory one from another are receiving, and the glory which is from one, Aloha, you seek not?

²⁷ Work not (for) the food which perisheth, but (for) the food that endureth unto the life that is eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you: for this hath the Father sealed, (even) Aloha. ²⁸ They say to him, What shall we do that we may work the works of Aloha? ²⁹ Jeshu answered and said to them, This is the work of Aloha, that you believe in Him whom he hath sent.

⁴⁷ AMEN, amen, I say to you, Whosoever believeth in me hath the life which is eternal.

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

⁶ ... ⁷ ...

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; ²⁸ and I give to them the life which is eternal, and they shall not perish for ever, and no man shall snatch them from my hands.

⁴⁰ and he went beyond Jurdan, to the place where Juchanon at first had baptized, and was there.

²⁵ He who loveth his life shall lose it; and he who hateth his life in this world shall keep it to the life which is eternal. ²⁶ If any man serve me, let him come after me; and where I am, there shall be also my servant: whoever serveth me, him will my Father honour.

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.

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.

¹² On this account Pilatos willed to release him: but the Jihudoyee cried out, If this (man) thou releasest, thou art not the friend of Cesar: for whosoever maketh himself a king is the adversary of Cesar. ¹³ But when Pilatos heard that word, he brought Jeshu without, and sat down upon the tribunal in the place which is called the Pavement of Stones, but in Hebrew it is called Gaphiphtha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation for the petscha. AND it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jihudoyee, Behold your king! ¹⁵ But they cried out, Take him away, take him away! crucify him, [Or, suspend him.] crucify him! Pilatos saith to them, Your king shall I crucify? The chief priests say to him, We have no king but Cesar. ¹⁶ Then delivered he him to them, that they might crucify him. And they took Jeshu, and led him forth,

³⁹ For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all them who are afar off, whom Aloha himself shall call.

⁴⁵ And they who had property sold it, and divided to each according to that which he needed.

²¹ whom the heavens must receive until the completion of the times of all those which Aloha hath spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets, who (have been) from of old.

³² BUT to the assembly of the men who believed there was one soul and one mind; and no man of them said of the goods which he possessed that they were his own, but all whatever they had was in common. ³³ And with great power did those apostles testify concerning the resurrection of Jeshu Meshiha, and great grace was with all of them. ³⁴ And no man of them had want; for they who possessed fields and houses sold [them], and brought the prices of whatever was sold ³⁵ and laid at the feet of the apostles, and there was given to each according to that which was needed.

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

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.

³⁰ and he brought them without, and said to them, My lords, what behoveth me to do that I may be saved?

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

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;

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.

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.

²² And now made free from sin, and become servants to Aloha, you have holy fruits, [Phiree.] of which the end is the life of eternity. ²³ For the wages of sin is death; and the gift of Aloha the life of eternity by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

² as a woman who is bound in law to her husband as long as he liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is freed from the law of her husband.

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

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

³⁰ WHAT then shall we say? That the Gentiles who have not followed [Or, ran.] after righteousness have attained righteousness, but that righteousness which is of faith: ³¹ but Israel, who followed [Or, ran.] after the law of righteousness, unto the law of righteousness have not attained. ³² For why? Because it was not by faith, but by the works of the law: for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling; ³³ as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of ffence; and whosoever in him shall believe shall not be ashamed.

⁵ FOR Musha thus describeth the righteousness which is of the law, that he who doeth these things shall live by them.

¹³ For every one who shall invoke the name of the Lord shall be saved.

⁵ So also, at this time, a residue is left by the election of grace. ⁶ But if by grace, it is not of works; otherwise grace is not grace. But if by works, it is not of grace; otherwise work is not work. ⁷ What then, That which Israel sought he hath not found; but the election hath found: but the rest of them are blinded in their hearts.

⁹ And let not your love be guileful; abhor things evil, cleave to the good.

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

⁹ for that also which it hath said, Thou shalt not kill; and, Thou shalt not commit adultery; and, Thou shalt not steal; and, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, in this word it is accomplished, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ¹⁰ Love unto his neighbour evil worketh not: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

²⁶ For you see also your calling, my brethren, that not many among you are wise after the flesh, and not many among you are powerful, and not many among you are of noble birth; [Or, sons of a great family.]

²⁹ that no flesh may boast before him.

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.

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

¹ Fornication is commonly reported among you; and such fornication as is not heard among the Heathens, that the son should take the wife of his father.

² Or know you not that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world by you is judged, are you not worthy to judge small matters?[Or, judgments.] ³ Know you not that you are to judge angels? How much more those (matters) which are of this world?

¹⁶ Know you not that whosoever attacheth to a harlot is one body? For it is said, The two shall be one body.

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

² but, because of fornication, let a man take his wife, and let a woman take her husband

⁴ For the wife hath not authority over her body, but the husband; so also the man hath not authority over his body, but his wife.

⁶ But this I speak as to the infirm; (and) not from commandment. ⁷ For I would that all men were as I am, in chastity. But every man hath the gift given to him from Aloha, this one thus, and the other thus. ⁸ But I say to those who have no wives, and to the widows, that it is expedient for them to remain as I do.

⁸ But I say to those who have no wives, and to the widows, that it is expedient for them to remain as I do. ⁹ Yet, if they persevere not, they should marry; for it is better to take a wife than to burn with concupiscence. ¹⁰ But those who have wives I command, yet not I, but my Lord, that the wife from her husband separate not.

¹⁰ But those who have wives I command, yet not I, but my Lord, that the wife from her husband separate not. ¹¹ Yet, if she separate, let her remain without a man, or unto her husband be reconciled. And let not a man put away his wife.

¹¹ Yet, if she separate, let her remain without a man, or unto her husband be reconciled. And let not a man put away his wife. ¹² But to the rest I say, not my Lord, If a brother hath a wife who is not a believer, and she be willing to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

¹² But to the rest I say, not my Lord, If a brother hath a wife who is not a believer, and she be willing to dwell with him, let him not put her away. ¹³ And any woman who has an husband unbelieving, and he willeth to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.

¹³ And any woman who has an husband unbelieving, and he willeth to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband. ¹⁴ For the man who believeth not is sanctified by the wife who believeth; and any wife who believeth not is sanctified by the husband who believeth; otherwise their children would be unclean; but now are they clean.

¹⁴ For the man who believeth not is sanctified by the wife who believeth; and any wife who believeth not is sanctified by the husband who believeth; otherwise their children would be unclean; but now are they clean.

¹⁷ But (according as) the Lord hath distributed to every one, as Aloha hath called, so let him walk; and thus in all the churches, so I direct.

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁵ But this for your own profit speak I; not to throw a snare over you, but that you may be constant towards your Lord in a comely manner, while not thoughtful of the world. ³⁶ But if a man consider it to be dishonourable toward his virgin, who hath passed her time, that he hath not given her to the man, (and) that it is proper that he should give her; as he willeth let him act, he sinneth not: let them marry. ³⁷ But he who hath firmly decided in his own mind, and nothing constraineth him, and (who hath) power in his will, and thus judgeth in his heart, that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. ³⁸ And he then who giveth his virgin doeth well, and he who giveth not his virgin doeth better. ³⁹ The wife, so long as her husband liveth, is bound by the law; but if her husband shall die, she is free, that she may do what she willeth, only in our Lord.

³⁹ The wife, so long as her husband liveth, is bound by the law; but if her husband shall die, she is free, that she may do what she willeth, only in our Lord. ⁴⁰ But it is good if thus she remain, according to my own mind. But I think also that the Spirit of Aloha is in me.

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

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

²⁰ MY brethren, be not children in your minds, but in evils be you babes, and in your minds be perfect.

¹⁶ And henceforth we no man know according to the flesh;* and if we have known the Meshiha according to the flesh,* yet from now we know not. [* Baphgar, "In the body."]

¹⁰ For they who are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who doeth not all that is written in this law. ¹¹ But that man is not justified by the law before Aloha, this maketh manifest: because it is written, The just by faith shall live. ¹² But the law is not of faith: but he who doeth those things that are written in it shall live by them. ¹³ But us hath the Meshiha bought from the curse of the law, and hath been made a curse instead of us: for it is written, Accursed is every one who is hanged on the wood:

²⁴ The law therefore was our conductor [Or, tutor.] to the Meshiha, that we might be justified by faith.

⁷ Well did you run; who hath impeded you, that to the truth you should not be in obedience?

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

⁵ But this know, that any man who is a fornicator, or impure, or covetous, or an idolater, hath no inheritance in the kingdom of the Meshiha and of Aloha;

²⁸ So it becometh husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. For he who his wife loveth, himself he loveth.

³¹ Because of this a man leaveth his father and his mother, and cleaveth unto his wife, and they two become one flesh.

¹ Children, obey your parents in our Lord, for this is right; ² and this is the first commandment which promiseth. Honour thy father and thy mother,

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

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

¹² I have not yet received, nor (am I) yet perfected; but I run, that so I may lay hold on that for the sake of which Jeshu the Meshiha hath laid hold on me. ¹³ MY brethren, I think not concerning myself that I have laid hold (of the final prize); but one (thing) I know, that what is behind me I forget, and to that which is before me I stretch, ¹⁴ and run towards the sign, to obtain the victory of the high vocation of Aloha by Jeshu Meshiha. ¹⁵ Let those, then, who are mature consider these things; and if otherwise you consider, this also will Aloha reveal to you.

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

⁷ And you who are afflicted will he save [Or, make alive.] with us, at the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from heaven, with the host [Or, force; chailo, " powerful array."] of his angels, 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. ⁹ For these in the judgment will be punished (with) the perdition of eternity, from the presence of our Lord, and from the glory of his power; ¹⁰ when he cometh to be glorified in his saints, and to show his wonders in his faithful ones, that our testimony that was concerning you may be believed in that day.

¹⁶ But for this he had compassion upon me, that in me first Jeshu Meshiha might show all long-suffering, as an exhibition [Or, spectacle.] for them who should believe in him unto everlasting life.

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;

¹¹ But from the widows who are young, withhold (the election); for these become schismatical* against the Meshiha, and seek to marry, [* Metstarin, partic. Ethpa. of Tsero, Scidit, dilaceravit.] ¹² and their condemnation is confirmed, because they have rejected their first fidelity. ¹³ They also learn idleness, wandering from house to house; and not only idleness, but also to multiply words, and to follow vain (pursuits), and to speak things which they ought not. ¹⁴ I will therefore that those who are young should marry, and bear children, and conduct their households, and not give to the adversary any occasion to revile. ¹⁵ For already have some begun to turn aside after Satana.

⁹ But they who will be rich fall into temptations and snares, and many lusts which befool and injure, and which plunge men into destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the root of all evil is the love of money; and there are who have coveted it, and from the faith have erred, and have made themselves enter into many sorrows.

¹² And contend in the good agony of faith, and lay hold of the life which is eternal, unto which thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.

¹⁷ The rich of this world instruct, that they be not uplifted in their minds, nor be trustful upon riches which have no security, but upon Aloha the living, who giveth to us all abundantly for our comfort; ¹⁸ and that they perform good works, and become rich in welldoings, and be ready to give and to communicate, ¹⁹ and lay for themselves a good foundation for that which is to be, that they may lay hold on the true life.

¹⁹ and lay for themselves a good foundation for that which is to be, that they may lay hold on the true life.

¹² and if we endure, we shall also reign with him; but, if we deny him, he also will deny us!

¹⁵ and that from thy childhood thou hast learned the holy writings, which are able to make thee wise to salvation, through faith which is in Jeshu Meshiha.

² unto the hope of eternal life, which Aloha the true counselled before the times of the ages,

⁷ that by his grace we might be justified, and be made heirs according to the hope of the life which is eternal.

⁹ when your fathers tempted me, and proved (and) saw my works forty years.

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

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.

⁴ Honourable is marriage among all, and their bed is undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers Aloha judgeth.

⁹ But let the humble brother glory in his exaltation, ¹⁰ and the rich in his humility; for as the flower of an herb, so he passeth. ¹¹ For the sun ariseth in his heat, and drieth the herb, and the flower of it falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth; so also the rich withereth in his reverses.

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

⁶ But you have despised the poor. Behold, are not the rich uprisen against you? and do they not drag you to the house of judgment?

⁸ And if the law of Aloha in this you accomplish, as it is written, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, you do well;

¹⁰ For he who keepeth the whole law, and in one offendeth, of the whole LAW he is guilty. ¹¹ For he who hath said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, is he who hath said, Thou shalt not steal; but if thou do not commit adultery, yet steal, thou hast become a transgressor against the LAW.

¹ O rich men, howl and weep for the miseries which are coming upon you. ² Your riches are corrupt and stink, and your vestments are eaten of the moth, ³ and your gold and your silver rusteth, and the rust of them is for a witness against you, and is to eat your flesh. You have gathered fire for you for the last days! ⁴ Lo, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your lands, which you have refused, clamoureth, and the cry of the harvests to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth hath ascended.

¹ MAKE to cease therefore from you all malice and all guile, and dissimulation, and envy, and slander; ² and be as (new)-born babes, and be desirous of the word as of milk pure and spiritual, that by it you may increase unto life.

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.

¹³ But new heavens and earth, according to his promise, we expect; those wherein righteousness dwelleth.

² And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and testify, and preach to you the eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us.

²⁵ And this is the promise which he promised to us, eternal life.

⁸ and every one who loveth not, knoweth not Aloha. ⁹ In this was made known the love of Aloha towards us, that Aloha sent his only Son into the world that we might live by him. ¹⁰ In this is love: it was not that we had loved Aloha, but that Aloha himself loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

¹⁶ And we have believed and known the love which Aloha hath toward us; for Aloha is Love. And every one who abideth in love in Aloha abideth.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, That the life which is eternal, Aloha hath given to us, and this life is in his Son. ¹² Every one who apprehendeth [Cul d'achid labro.] the Son, apprehendeth also life; and every one who apprehendeth not the Son of Aloha, hath not life. ¹³ These I have written to you, that you may know that you have the life which is eternal, who believe in the name of the Son of Aloha.

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.

⁷ For after his name they went forth, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

²¹ ourselves in the love of Aloha to keep, while looking for the mercy of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto our eternal salvation.

²⁶ And he who conquereth, and he who keepeth until the end my works, I will give to him power [Shultono.] over the peoples, ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as a vessel of the potter shall they be destroyed, as also I have received from my Father;

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.

⁴ Around the throne [Thronos.] were seats [Kursothee.] twenty and four; and upon those seats twenty and four presbyters [Kashishee.] sitting, who were robed in white vestments, and upon their heads wore coronets [Kalilee.] of gold.

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

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.

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.
