⁷ For in all time you have the poor with you, and, when you will, you can do them good; but I am not at all time with you. ⁸ (With) that which was hers she hath done this, and beforehand as for the funeral she hath anointed my body.

⁸ (With) that which was hers she hath done this, and beforehand as for the funeral she hath anointed my body. ⁹ And Amen I say to you, That wheresoever my gospel shall be preached in the whole world, this also which she hath now done shall be told in memorial of her.

³⁷ And he came and found them sleeping: and he said to Kipha, Shemun, dost thou sleep? couldst thou not one hour watch? ³⁸ Be wakeful and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit is willing and ready, but the body is infirm.

⁶² And he, Jeshu, said to him, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.

¹⁹ But Jeshu our Lord, after he had spoken with them, unto the heavens ascended, and sat on the right hand of Aloha.

³¹ For, behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jeshu. ³² He will be great, and the Son of the Most High [Eloia.] shall he be called, and Aloha the Lord shall give unto him the throne of David his father. ³³ And he shall reign over the house of Jakub for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

¹¹ He answered and said to them, Whoever hath two tunics, let him give to him who hath none; and whoever hath food, so let him do (likewise).

³⁴ But he said to them, How can you make the sons of the chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? ³⁵ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken up [Or, exalted.] from them: then shall they fast in those days.

⁴⁶ Why call you me, My Lord, my Lord, and the things which I say do not?

¹⁸ Take heed how you hear: for unto him who hath, it shall be given; and from him who hath not, that also which he thinketh that he hath shall be taken from him.

²⁶ For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

²⁹ But he, willing to justify himself, said to him, And who is my neighbour?

⁴² but (there) is the one that is needed. And Mariam the good portion hath chosen, that which shall not be taken from her.

²⁸ He said to her, Blessed are they who hear the word of Aloha and keep it.

⁴¹ But of whatever there is, give in alms, and, behold, every thing is clean to you.

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?

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.

³² FEAR not, little flock; for your Father hath willed to give you the kingdom.

³⁵ Let your loins be bound, and your lamps be burning,

³⁵ Let your loins be bound, and your lamps be burning, ³⁶ and be you like men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the place of festivity, that, when he hath come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.

³⁶ and be you like men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the place of festivity, that, when he hath come and knocked, immediately they may open to him. ³⁷ Blessed those servants who, when their lord shall come, shall be found watching. Amen I tell you, He will gird his loins, and make them recline, and will come over and serve them. ³⁸ And if in the second or the third watch he shall come and find them thus, blessed will be those servants. ³⁹ But this know, that if the lord of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have permitted his house to be dug through. ⁴⁰ Also you, be you therefore ready: for, in that hour that you think not, cometh the Son of man.

⁴⁴ Assuredly I tell you, He will establish him over all his substance. ⁴⁵ But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord withholdeth to come, and shall begin to beat the servants and the handmaids of his lord, and shall begin to eat and to drink and be drunken; ⁴⁶ the lord of that servant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and in an hour which he knoweth not; and shall sunder him, and set him his portion with those who are not faithful.

⁴⁸ But he who knew not, and did that which was worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For every one to whom much is given, much will be required from him; and to whom much is committed, the more will they require at his hand.

²⁵ From the hour that the Lord of the house shall have risen up and have shut the door, you may stand without, knocking at the door, and may begin to say, Our Lord, our Lord, open to us! But he will answer and say, I tell you that I know not whence you are. ²⁶ And you shall begin to say, Before thee we have eaten and drunk, and in our streets thou hast taught. ²⁷ And he shall say to you, I know you not whence you are: depart from me, workers of falsity.

²⁷ And he shall say to you, I know you not whence you are: depart from me, workers of falsity. ²⁸ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Ishok and Jakub and all the prophets in the kingdom of Aloha, but you be cast forth without.

²⁸ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Ishok and Jakub and all the prophets in the kingdom of Aloha, but you be cast forth without. ²⁹ And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the south, and from the north, and shall recline in the kingdom of Aloha. ³⁰ And, behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.

¹² And he said to him who had called him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, thou shouldest not call thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours, lest they also call thee, and thou have this recompence. ¹³ But when thou makest a feast,[Reception.] call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, ¹⁴ and thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee; for thy recompence shall be in the resurrection of the just.

³⁴ Salt is good; but if the salt also shall become insipid, with what shall it be seasoned? ³⁵ Not for the earth, nor for the dunghill, it goeth. They cast it out. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

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.

¹ AND he spake a parable to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a house-chief;[Rab-baitho.] and he was accused to him that his substance he wasted.

¹ AND he spake a parable to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a house-chief;[Rab-baitho.] and he was accused to him that his substance he wasted.

¹ AND he spake a parable to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a house-chief;[Rab-baitho.] and he was accused to him that his substance he wasted. ² And his lord called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give me the account of thy house-headship; for thou canst no longer be house-chief unto me.

² And his lord called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give me the account of thy house-headship; for thou canst no longer be house-chief unto me.

² And his lord called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give me the account of thy house-headship; for thou canst no longer be house-chief unto me. ³ And the house-chief said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the house-headship. I cannot dig, and to beg I am ashamed.

³ And the house-chief said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the house-headship. I cannot dig, and to beg I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the house-headship, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ And he called one by one from the debtors of his lord, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord? ⁶ And he said to him, An hundred metres of oil. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down quickly, and write fifty metres. ⁷ And he said to another, And thou, how much owest thou to my lord? He saith to him, An hundred kureen* of wheat. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down, write eighty kureen. [* The Hebrew kor was about seventy-five gallons, five pints. ] ⁸ And praised our Lord the house-chief who was unjust, in that he had done wisely; for the sons of this world are wiser than the sons of light in this their generation. 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. ¹⁰ Whoever in the little is faithful, in the great also is faithful; and he who in the little is unjust, in the great also is unjust.

¹⁰ Whoever in the little is faithful, in the great also is faithful; and he who in the little is unjust, in the great also is unjust. ¹¹ If, therefore, in the wealth of unrighteousness you have not been faithful, the truth to you who will confide? ¹² And if in that which is not yours you are not found faithful, your own who will give to you?

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ²⁹ Abraham said to him, They have Musha and the prophets, let them hear them. ³⁰ But he said to him, No, my father Abraham, but if one from the dead shall go unto them, they repent. ³¹ Abraham saith to him, If Musha and the prophets they hear not, neither, if one from the dead should rise, would they believe him.

⁸ I tell you he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man shall come, will he find faith upon the earth?

¹² And he said, A certain man of a noble house [Bar tuhma raba, "A son of a great family.''] went into a distant country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. ¹³ And he called his ten servants, and gave to them ten minin,* and said to them, Trade till I come. [* The mani (Heb. maneh) is said to have been equal to sixty shekels, or nine pounds English.]

¹³ And he called his ten servants, and gave to them ten minin,* and said to them, Trade till I come. [* The mani (Heb. maneh) is said to have been equal to sixty shekels, or nine pounds English.] ¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent messengers after him, saying, We are not willing that this should reign over us.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent messengers after him, saying, We are not willing that this should reign over us. ¹⁵ And having received the kingdom and returned, he spake to call to him those servants to whom he had given the silver, that he might know how every one of them had traded. ¹⁶ And the first came and said, My lord, thy mani ten minin hath gained.

¹⁶ And the first came and said, My lord, thy mani ten minin hath gained. ¹⁷ He saith to him, Well, good servant: because in a little thou art found faithful, thou shalt have rule over ten towns.

¹⁷ He saith to him, Well, good servant: because in a little thou art found faithful, thou shalt have rule over ten towns. ¹⁸ And the second came and said, My lord, thy mani five minin hath made.

¹⁸ And the second came and said, My lord, thy mani five minin hath made. ¹⁹ He saith also to this, Thou also shalt have rule over five towns.

¹⁹ He saith also to this, Thou also shalt have rule over five towns. ²⁰ And the other came and said, My lord, behold thy mani which I have had with me, laid up in a napkin.

²⁰ And the other came and said, My lord, behold thy mani which I have had with me, laid up in a napkin.

²⁰ And the other came and said, My lord, behold thy mani which I have had with me, laid up in a napkin. ²¹ For I feared thee, because thou art a hard man, taking up what thou hadst not laid down, and reaping what thou sowedst not.

²¹ For I feared thee, because thou art a hard man, taking up what thou hadst not laid down, and reaping what thou sowedst not. ²² He said to him, From thy own mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou didst know that I was a hard man, taking up what I had not laid down, and reaping what I sowed not:

²² He said to him, From thy own mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou didst know that I was a hard man, taking up what I had not laid down, and reaping what I sowed not:

²² He said to him, From thy own mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou didst know that I was a hard man, taking up what I had not laid down, and reaping what I sowed not: ²³ why (then) gavest thou not my silver upon the table, that when I came I might require it with its increase?

²³ why (then) gavest thou not my silver upon the table, that when I came I might require it with its increase? ²⁴ And to those who stood before him he said, Take from him the mani, and give to him who hath the ten minin.

²⁴ And to those who stood before him he said, Take from him the mani, and give to him who hath the ten minin. ²⁵ They say to him, Our lord, he hath ten minin.

²⁵ They say to him, Our lord, he hath ten minin. ²⁶ He saith to them, I tell you, that to every one who hath (it) shall be given; and from him who hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken.

²⁶ He saith to them, I tell you, that to every one who hath (it) shall be given; and from him who hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken. ²⁷ But those adversaries who would not that I should reign over them, bring them, and slay them before me.

³⁸ and they said, Blessed be the King who cometh in the name of the Lord! Peace in the heavens, and glory in the highest!

⁹ And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vinery, and let it to husbandmen, and removed for a great time.

³⁴ But take heed to yourselves, that at any time your hearts be not heavy with excess and drunkenness, and the care of the world, and unawares shall come upon you that day. ³⁵ For as a net it will overtake all them who dwell upon the faces of the whole earth. ³⁶ Be therefore wakeful at all time, and pray that you may be worthy to escape from those things that are about to be, and that you may stand before the Son of man.

³⁶ Be therefore wakeful at all time, and pray that you may be worthy to escape from those things that are about to be, and that you may stand before the Son of man.

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.

⁶⁹ Henceforth the Son of man sitteth at the right hand of the power of Aloha.

¹⁵ Juchanon testified concerning him, and cried, and said, This is he of whom I said, that he cometh after me, and was before* me, because he is anterior** to me. [* Kedom, coram, ante. ** Kadomi, antiquus, vetus, prior, anterior.] ¹⁶ And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.

⁵¹ He saith to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of Aloha ascending and descending unto the Son of man.

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

²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and attendeth him, with great joy rejoiceth on account of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy therefore, behold, is complete.

³⁴ For he whom Aloha hath sent, the very words of Aloha speaketh; for it was not in measure that Aloha gave the Spirit.

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

²³ that all men should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father who sent him.

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, ²⁹ and shall come forth; they who have done good unto the resurrection of life, and they who have done evil unto the resurrection of condemnation.

²⁹ and shall come forth; they who have done good unto the resurrection of life, and they who have done evil unto the resurrection of condemnation.

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.

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.

³¹ But we know that Aloha the voice of sinners heareth not; but if any man fear him and do his will, him he heareth.

¹⁴ I am the good shepherd, and know my own, and am known of my own.

²⁶ But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, (even) as I told you. ²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;

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.

⁴⁸ and if we leave him thus, all men will believe on him, and the Rumoyee, coming, take away our country and our people.

¹³ took branches of palms, and went forth to meet him. And they cried out, saying, Aushana! Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.

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.

²⁹ For some of them thought that as Jihuda had the purse, he had instructed him to buy something that should be required at the feast, or that he should give somewhat to the poor.

² Many are the mansions of my Father's house: and if not, I would have told you; 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.

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.

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.

² Every branch which in me giveth not fruits he taketh away; and that which giveth fruits he cleanseth, that more fruits it may give.

⁶ But if a man abide not in me, he is cast without, as a withered branch; and, gathering, they cast it into the fire to burn.

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁹ And a tablet also wrote Pilatos, and set it on the cross; and it was thus written, This is Jeshu Natsroya, King of the Jihudoyee. ²⁰ And this title many of the Jihudoyee read; for nigh to the city was the place where Jeshu was crucified; and the writing was in Hebrew and Greek and Roman. ²¹ And the chief priests said to Pilatos, Do not write that he is king of the Jihudoyee, but that he said, I am the king of the Jihudoyee. ²² Pilatos saith, That which I have written, I have written.

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.

¹⁷ Jeshu saith to her, Touch [Or, approach.] me not; for not yet have I ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and to your Father, to my God, and to your God.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

²² Nevertheless, repent of this thy wickedness, and pray of Aloha, that the guile of thy heart may haply be forgiven thee;

²⁴ Simon answered and said, Pray you on my behalf, of Aloha, that not any of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.

⁴ and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice which said to him, Shaol, Shaol, why persecutest thou me? It is hard to thee to kick against the pricks. ⁵ He answered and said, Who art thou, my Lord? And our Lord said, I am Jeshu Natsroya, whom thou persecutest;

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

³⁶ BUT there was a certain disciple in Joppa the city, whose name was Tabitha. This was rich in good works and in alms which she had done. ³⁷ But she became afflicted in those days, and died. And they washed her and laid her in an upper room. ³⁸ And the disciples heard that Shemun was in Lud the city, because it is over against Joppa, and they sent to him two men, who should pray of him not to delay to come among them. ³⁹ And Shemun arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him up to the upper room, and assembled (and) stood around him all the widows, weeping, and showing him those vestments and mantles which Tabitha had given them, while living.

² And he was just, and feared Aloha, he and all his house: he did much alms among the people, and in all time prayed of Aloha.

³¹ And he said to me, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms have made memorial before Aloha.

²⁹ Therefore the disciples, according as each of them had, determined to send for the service of those brethren who dwelt in Jihud;

²⁹ Therefore the disciples, according as each of them had, determined to send for the service of those brethren who dwelt in Jihud; ³⁰ and they sent by the hand of Bar Naba and Shaol to the presbyters who were there.

³⁶ For David in his generation served the will of Aloha, and slept, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.

¹⁸ Known from eternity are the works of Aloha.

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

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.

⁸ And there were many lamps of fire in the high-room [B'elitho.] where we were assembled.

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.

³¹ On account of this be watchful, and remember, that for three years I ceased not by night and by day with tears to instruct every one of you.

³⁵ And I have shown you every thing, (that) so it behoveth to labour, and to be careful of those who are infirm, and to remember the word of our Lord Jeshu, that he said, He is blessed who giveth, more than he who receiveth.

¹⁵ and having hope in Aloha [for] that which they also hope: that there shall be a resurrection from the house of the dead, of the just and of the evil.

⁸ But the father of Publios was ill in a fever, and a disease of the bowels. And Paulos went in to him, and prayed and laid his hand on him, and healed him. ⁹ And when this was done, the rest also of them who were diseased in the island came to him and were cured.

⁷ To them who seek, in perseverance of good works, glory and honour and incorruption, he giveth eternal life; ⁸ but to them who are rebellious, and obey not the truth, but unrighteousness obey, he will render wrath ⁹ and indignation and affliction and distress, upon every man who worketh evils; to Jihudoyee first, and to Aramoyee; ¹⁰ but glory and honour and peace to every one who worketh good, to the Jihudoya first, and also to the Aramoya; ¹¹ for there is no acceptance of faces with Aloha. ¹² For they who without the law have sinned, without the law also will perish: and they who in the law have sinned, by the law will be judged.

¹² For they who without the law have sinned, without the law also will perish: and they who in the law have sinned, by the law will be judged. ¹³ For not the hearers of the law are righteous before Aloha, but the doers of the law are justified. ¹⁴ FOR if the Gentiles, who have not the law, from their nature shall perform the law, these, while not having the law, unto themselves become a law. ¹⁵ And these show the work of law written upon their hearts, and their conscience testifieth of them, while their reasonings accuse or excuse one another; ¹⁶ in the day when Aloha judgeth the secrets of men according to my gospel by Jeshu Meshiha.

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

²⁹ but he is a Jihudoya who is one in inwardness; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not from the sons of men, but from Aloha.

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.

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.

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

⁷ Because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Aloha; for to the law of Aloha it is not subject, for it cannot be;

⁹ But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if truly the Spirit of Aloha dwelleth in you. But if a man have not the Spirit of the Meshiha, this (man) is not his.

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

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

²⁹ And from the first he knew them, and signified* them in the likeness of the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born of many brethren. [* Var'sham enum, Signed, designated, notified them.]

²⁰ Who then art thou, O man, who givest answer against Aloha? Will the mass say to him who formeth it, Why thus hast thou formed me?

²² BUT if Aloha, willing to reveal his wrath, and to make known his power, in his much patience bore with the vessels of wrath who were perfected for destruction, ²³ and poured his mercy upon the vessels of mercy who were prepared of Aloha for glory,

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

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

²⁰ And if thy adversary hunger, feed him; and if he thirst, give him drink: and if these things thou do unto him, coals of fire thou wilt heap upon his head.

¹¹ AND also this know, that the time is, and the hour is, when we should be awake from our sleep; for now hath drawn nearer to us our salvation than when we believed.

⁷ For there is no one of us who to himself liveth and no one who to himself dieth. ⁸ For if we live, to our Lord we live; and if we die, to our Lord we die: and if we live, then, or if we die, our Lord's are we. ⁹ Because of this also the Meshiha died and lived and arose, that he might be Lord of the dead and of the living. 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.

¹⁸ For I dare not speak any thing which the Meshiha hath not done by my hands, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and in deeds, ¹⁹ with the power of signs and miracles, and with the power of the Spirit of Aloha; as that I have itinerated from Urishlem unto Illyrikum, to fulfil the preaching of Meshiha;

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

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.

⁵ For who is Paulos, or who Apollo, but ministers by whom you have believed and each as the Lord gave to him?

¹² And if any man build upon this foundation gold, or silver, or precious stones; or wood, or hay, or stubble; ¹³ the work of every one shall be revealed, for that day shall reveal it; for by the fire shall it be revealed, and the work of every man as it is the fire shall distinguish. ¹⁴ And he whose work which he builded shall abide, will receive his recompense; ¹⁵ and he whose work shall be burned, shall fail; but he (himself) shall be rescued, but so as from fire.

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

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.

⁹ Or, know you not that the unjust the kingdom of Aloha cannot inherit? Do not err; neither fornicators, nor the servers of idols, nor adulterers, nor corrupters, nor liers with men,

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

¹⁶ Yet also in preaching I have no cause to glory: for necessity lieth upon me; for woe to me unless I preach! ¹⁷ For if with my will I do this, I have a reward. But if without my will, (yet) a stewardship is confided to me. ¹⁸ What, then, is my reward? That while preaching without expenses I may perform the annunciation of the Meshiha, and not abuse the power that is given to me in the gospel. ¹⁹ For while free of all men, to all men I subject myself, that the many I may gain. ²⁰ And I become with the Jihudoyee as a Jihudoya, that the Jihudoyee I may gain; and with them who are under the law, I become as one under the law, that them who are under the law I may gain; ²¹ and to those who have not the law I become as one without law, while I am not unto Aloha without law, but in the law of the Meshiha, that them also who have not law I may gain. ²² I become with the weak as weak, that the weak I may gain. To all men all become I, that every man I may save. ²³ But this I do that I may be a participator in the gospel.

¹ BUT I would that you know, my brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all of them in the sea were baptized, ² and all by [By the hand of.] Musha were baptized in the cloud and in the sea, ³ and all of them ate one spiritual food,[Food of the Spirit.] ⁴ and all of them drank one spiritual drink; [Drink of the Spirit.] for they drank of that spiritual Rock [That Rock of the Spirit.] which went with them, - but that Rock was the Meshiha himself. ⁵ But not with many of them was Aloha pleased; for they fell in the desert.

² But I commend you, my brethren, that in every thing you remember me; and that as I have delivered to you precepts, you hold them.

⁴ Now, there are distributions of gifts, but one is the Spirit;

⁷ But to each is given (such) a revelation of the Spirit as is profitable to him. ⁸ To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, but to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹ and to another, faith by the same Spirit; and to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; ¹⁰ but to another, powers; to another, prophecy; to another, the discernment of spirits; but to another, kinds of tongues; and to another, the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But all these one Spirit effecteth, and divideth unto every man as he willeth. ¹² For, as the body is one, and in it are many members, but all the members of the body, though many, are one body; so also is the Meshiha. ¹³ For we all by one Spirit into one body are baptized; whether Jihudoyee or Aramoyee; whether servants or sons of freedom; and all of us have imbibed one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body also is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ For if the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body itself, would it therefore not be of the body itself? ¹⁶ And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body itself, would it therefore not be of the body itself? ¹⁷ For if the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? And if the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? ¹⁸ But now hath Aloha set all the members severally in the body as he willed. ¹⁹ But if all were one member, where would be the body? ²⁰ But now the members are many, but the body one. ²¹ The eye is not able to say to the hand, Thou art not needful to me; nor is the hand able to say to the feet, You are not needful to me. ²² But those members which are considered to be feeble, of them is the more especial need; ²³ and those which we consider contemptible in the body, to these the more we increase the honour; and on those which are of shame we bestow the greater decoration. ²⁴ But those members that are honourable in us have no need of adornment: [Or, honour.] but Aloha hath contempered the body, and given the more honour to the member which is inconsiderable; ²⁵ that there should be no divisions in the body, but all the members equally one of the other should have care: ²⁶ as that when one member shall be diseased, all may suffer; and if one member be glorified, all the members may be glorified. ²⁷ But you are the body of the Meshiha, and members in your place. ²⁸ FOR Aloha hath placed in the church, first, apostles; after them, prophets; after them, teachers; after them, workers of miracles;[Powers.] after them, gifts of healing, and helpers, and leaders, and kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?

¹⁰ but by the grace of Aloha I am what I am; and his grace in me was not in vain; but more than all have I laboured, (yet) not I, but his grace which is with me.

⁵⁰ But this I say, my brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; nor doth corruption inherit incorruption.

¹³ WATCH, and stand in the faith; be manful and be strong.

²¹ Peace, by the writing of my hand, of PAULOS. ²² Whosoever loveth not our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, let him be accursed. Our Lord cometh.

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

²² and hath sealed us, and given us the earnest-pledge [Rhabuno.] of his Spirit in our hearts.

⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but the Meshiha, Jeshu our Lord; but ourselves that we are your servants for the sake of Jeshu.

⁹ We give diligence, that whether we are pilgrims or inhabitants, we may be pleasing unto Him. 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.

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. ¹⁵ And for every man he died, that they who live should not live to themselves, but to him who on their behalf died and arose.

¹ BUT we make known to you, my brethren, the grace of Aloha which hath been given to the churches of Makedunia;

¹ BUT we make known to you, my brethren, the grace of Aloha which hath been given to the churches of Makedunia; ² that in the great trial of their affliction there hath been an abounding of their joy; and the depth of their poverty hath been exceeded by the riches of their simplicity.

² that in the great trial of their affliction there hath been an abounding of their joy; and the depth of their poverty hath been exceeded by the riches of their simplicity. ³ For I testify, that according to their power, and more than their power, in the willingness of their soul,

³ For I testify, that according to their power, and more than their power, in the willingness of their soul, ⁴ they besought of us, with much supplication, that they might participate in the beneficence of the ministry for the saints.

⁷ But as you have excelled in every thing, in faith, and in doctrine, and in knowledge, and in all diligence, and in our love toward you, so also in this beneficence may you excel.

⁷ But as you have excelled in every thing, in faith, and in doctrine, and in knowledge, and in all diligence, and in our love toward you, so also in this beneficence may you excel. ⁸ Not as though commanding I command you, but, from the diligence of your companions, the truth of your love would I put to the test.

⁸ Not as though commanding I command you, but, from the diligence of your companions, the truth of your love would I put to the test. ⁹ FOR you know the beneficence of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that for your sake he became poor, though he was rich, that you through his poverty might be enriched.

¹² For if there be the will, according to what one hath, so is (he) accepted, and not according to what he hath not.

⁷ Every man as he hath in his mind: not as of vexation or as of constraint; for a cheerful giver the Lord loveth. ⁸ For it is in the power of Aloha to increase in you every good, that you may always have every thing sufficient, and that you may abound in every good work. ⁹ As it is written, He hath dispersed and given to the poor, and his righteousness standeth for ever. ¹⁰ But may He who giveth seed to the sower and bread for food, himself give and multiply your seed, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, ¹¹ that in every thing you may be enriched in all simplicity, which worketh out through us, thanksgiving to Aloha. ¹² For, on account of the performance of this service, we not only supply the deficiency of the saints, but also cause many thanks givings to abound unto Aloha. ¹³ For on account of the proof of this service we glorify Aloha, because you are subject to the confession of the gospel of Meshiha, and you have communicated in simplicity with them and with every man. ¹⁴ And prayer they offer on your behalf in great love, on account of the greatness of the grace of Aloha which is upon you.

¹⁸ For it is not he who glorifieth himself who is approved, but he who is glorified of the Lord.

² for I am zealous towards you with the zeal of Aloha; for I have betrothed you to one man, a pure virgin, whom I would bring unto the Meshiha.

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:

¹³ But us hath the Meshiha bought from the curse of the law, and hath been made a curse instead of us: for it is written, Accursed is every one who is hanged on the wood: ¹⁴ in order that upon the nations there might be the blessing of Abraham in Jeshu the Meshiha, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. [This division of sections interferes with the sense.]

⁹ but now that you have known Aloha, and especially that you have been acknowledged of Aloha, turn you again to those diseased and beggarly principles, and will to be subject to them afresh?

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

¹³ BUT you have been called unto liberty, my brethren: only let not your liberty be for an occasion of the flesh; but in love be subjected one to another.

²¹ envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all that are like these; and they who do them, as I told you before, so now I tell you, the kingdom of Aloha do not inherit. ²² But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, prolonging of the spirit, benignity, goodness, fidelity, meekness, patience;

²² But the fruits of the Spirit are, love, joy, peace, prolonging of the spirit, benignity, goodness, fidelity, meekness, patience; ²³ against these the law is not set.

⁸ He who in the flesh soweth, from the flesh corruption reapeth; and he who in the Spirit soweth, from the Spirit the life that is eternal shall reap. ⁹ And while we do that which is good, let it not weary us; for the time will be when we shall reap, and it will not weary us. ¹⁰ Now, therefore, while the time is ours, let us do good unto every man, and especially to the sons of the house of the faith.

³ Blessed be He, Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who hath blessed us with all blessings of the Spirit in heaven, in the Meshiha; ⁴ as he before elected us in him, from before the foundations of the world, that we should be saints, and without blemish before him, and in love predesignated us unto himself, ⁵ and constituted us children in Jeshu Meshiha, according to the pleasure of his will; ⁶ that the glory of his grace might be glorified, that (grace) which he hath poured upon us by the hand of his Beloved:

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

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;

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

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;

¹⁴ Wherefore it is said, Awake thou who sleepest, and arise from the dead, and the Meshiha shall enlighten thee.

¹⁶ but as the wise who redeem their opportunity, because the days are evil.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as also the Meshiha loved his church, and gave himself for her, ²⁶ that he might sanctify her and purify her in the laver of waters and by the word, ²⁷ and that he might constitute her a church unto himself, being glorified, and not having blemish or wrinkle or any thing like these; but to be holy and spotless. ²⁸ So it becometh husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. For he who his wife loveth, himself he loveth. ²⁹ For no man ever hated his own body, but nourisheth it, and taketh care of it; so also the Meshiha (taketh care) of the church. ³⁰ For we are members of his body, and of his flesh are we, and of his bones.

³⁰ For we are members of his body, and of his flesh are we, and of his bones. ³¹ Because of this a man leaveth his father and his mother, and cleaveth unto his wife, and they two become one flesh. ³² This mystery is great; but I speak of the Meshiha and of his church. ³³ Nevertheless let every one of you so love his wife as his own self; but let the wife reverence her husband.

²³ For these two straiten me. I desire to be set free, that I might be with the Meshiha, and this is greatly preferable [Profitable.] to me;

¹⁵ that you may be perfect and without spot, as the pure children of Aloha, who dwell in a generation depraved and perverse; and be manifest among them as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ to be unto them for a place of salvation, for my exultation in the day of the Meshiha, that I may not have run in vain, nor laboured to no purpose.

¹⁰ But greatly do I rejoice in our Lord, that you have begun to care (again) for me, as also you were [formerly] careful, but you have not had ability.[Sufficiency.] ¹¹ But I have not spoken because I have had need; for I have learned to make sufficient to me that which I have had. ¹² I know (how) to be abased, I know also how to abound in all; and in every thing I am trained with sufficiency and with hunger, with abundance and with destitution [to be satisfied]: ¹³ for every thing I am empowered through the Meshiha who strengtheneth me. ¹⁴ Nevertheless, you have done well to communicate unto my afflictions.

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

²⁹ for which also I labour and contend, according to the help of the power which is given to me.

¹⁷ And say to Arkipos, Be vigilant in the ministry which thou hast received in our Lord, that thou fulfil it.

¹² and (now) we testify to you how you should walk worthy of Aloha himself who hath called you to his kingdom and to his glory.

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

¹⁶ For our Lord himself with the mandate, and with the voice of the chief of angels, and with the trumpet of Aloha, will come down from heaven, and the dead who are in the Meshiha will arise first;

¹ But of the times and the seasons, my brethren, you need not that I write to you; ² for you truly know that the day of our Lord as a thief in the night so cometh. 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.

⁶ Sleep we not, therefore, as the rest; but be wakeful and sober.

⁶ Sleep we not, therefore, as the rest; but be wakeful and sober. ⁷ For they who sleep, in the night sleep; and they who are drunken, in the night are drunken. ⁸ But we who are sons of the day must be wakeful in our minds, and wear the mail-coat [Sheryono. Heb. Shiryon.] of faith and of love, and put on the helmet of the hope of salvation.

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,

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.

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.

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;

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.

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

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;

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,

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.

⁶ On account of this I put thee in mind to keep awake the gift of Aloha, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands. ⁷ For Aloha hath not given to us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of discipline.[Marathyonutho.]

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

⁶ It becometh the husbandman who laboureth that he should first eat of his fruits.

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

¹⁹ But the true foundation of Aloha standeth; and it hath this signature: And the Lord knoweth them who are his. And, Let every one who invoketh the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.

⁵ having a form of the worship of Aloha, but from the power of Aloha afar off: (them) who are such put from thee.

¹ I attest thee before Aloha, and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who is to judge the living and the dead at the revelation of his kingdom: ² preach the word, and stand with diligence in season, and (that) which is not season; confute, and rebuke with all prolongedness of mind and doctrine. ³ For the time will come, when sound doctrine they will not hear; but according to their desires will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing. ⁴ And from the truth they will turn away their ear, but to fables will decline. ⁵ But watch thou in every thing, and endure evils, and work the work of an evangelist, and thy ministry fulfil.

⁵ But watch thou in every thing, and endure evils, and work the work of an evangelist, and thy ministry fulfil. ⁶ But I am sacrificed, and the time when I shall be dissolved cometh. ⁷ The good agony I have fought, and my running I have completed, and my faith I have kept. ⁸ And from now there is kept for me the crown of righteousness, which my Lord will give me in that day, because he is a righteous judge: yet, not only to me, but to all them who love his manifestation.

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

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

¹⁴ And let those also who are of us, learn to perform good works in things which are necessary, that they may not be without fruits.

⁶ (I have prayed) that there may be communication of thy faith (in) yielding fruits, in works and in the (manifestation of the) knowledge of all good which thou hast in Jeshu Meshiha. ⁷ For we have great joy and consolation, that by thy love the bowels of the saints are refreshed.

⁷ For we have great joy and consolation, that by thy love the bowels of the saints are refreshed.

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.]

⁸ But concerning the Son he hath said, Thy throne, Aloha, (is) for ever and ever, a right [Or, perfect, true.] sceptre (is) the sceptre of thy kingdom.

¹¹ For he who sanctified, and they who are sanctified, are all from one: wherefore he has not been ashamed to call them his brethren. ¹² (As) when he saith, I will announce thy name unto my brethren, and in the midst of the church I will praise thee. ¹³ And again, I will put my confidence in him. And again, Behold me, and the sons whom thou hast given me, Aloha. 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, ¹⁵ and set loose them who in the fear of death had been all their lives subjected to servitude.

¹⁸ And of whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but of them who would not be persuaded? ¹⁹ And we see that they were not able to enter in, because they did not believe.

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.

³ But we enter into the rest, we (being of) those (who) have believed. But as He hath said, So I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest: for, behold, the works of Aloha from the beginning of the world were.

⁷ For the earth that hath drank the rain which hath come upon it many times, and shall have brought forth the herb that is useful for them on whose account it is cultured, receiveth blessing from Aloha; ⁸ but that which shall produce thorns and briers hath reprobation; nor is it far from the curse, but its end is burning.

⁸ but that which shall produce thorns and briers hath reprobation; nor is it far from the curse, but its end is burning.

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

¹⁰ For not unrighteous is Aloha, that he should forget your works and your charity which ye have manifested in his name, who have ministered unto the saints, and do minister. ¹¹ But we desire that every one of you manifest the same diligence for the full completion of your hope until the end; ¹² and that it be not cut off from you,[Tethkatao lecun. (Katao, abscidit. Ethpaal, abscissus est.)] but that ye be imitators of them who by fidelity and patience [Prolongedness of spirit.] have become heirs of the promise.

²⁶ otherwise he would have been obligated many times to suffer from the beginning of the world. But now, in the end of the world, once hath he offered himself, that by his sacrifice he might abolish sin.

³⁴ And it afflicted you on account of them who were bound; and the pillage of your goods with joy ye sustained, as knowing that ye have a possession in heaven, which is better, and passeth not away.

³⁶ But patience is needed by you, that ye may do the will of Aloha, and receive the promise. ³⁷ Because (yet) a little time, and a very little, and He who cometh shall come, and not be slow.

¹⁶ But now it is known that a better (one) than that they desired; that (namely) which is in heaven. Wherefore Aloha was not ashamed their God to be called; for he hath prepared for them a city.

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.

¹⁵ And be aware lest any one be found among you failing of the grace of Aloha; or lest any root of bitternesses should put forth the flower and injure you, and many be contaminated: ¹⁶ or lest there be found among you any fornicator, or dissolute, as Isu, who for one meal sold his birthright. ¹⁷ For ye know, also, that afterward he desired to inherit the blessing, but was rejected; for place for repentance he found not, though with tears he sought it.

¹ Let the love of the brethren continue in you; ² and kindness to strangers forget not; for in this some who were made worthy, while not perceiving [Or, feeling it.] it, have received angels. ³ Remember those who are bound, as if with them ye were bound: be mindful of those who are afflicted, as men (should) who are clothed with flesh.

³ Remember those who are bound, as if with them ye were bound: be mindful of those who are afflicted, as men (should) who are clothed with flesh.

¹⁶ And forget not compassion and communication to the poor: for with these sacrifices a man pleaseth Aloha.

²⁷ For the service [Teshmeshtho, ministry.] which is pure and true before Aloha the Father, is this, to visit the orphans and widows in their afflictions, and that a man keep himself from the world without blemish.

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

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

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

¹⁶ and any one of you shall say to them, Go in peace, be warm, and be satisfied, and give them not what is necessary for the body, what (would be) the use? ¹⁷ Thus also the faith that hath not works is dead, (being) alone. ¹⁸ For a man saith, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from my works.

¹⁸ For a man saith, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from my works. ¹⁹ Thou believest that Aloha is one: thou doest well; the demons also believe and tremble. ²⁰ Art thou willing to know, O weak man, that faith without works is dead? ²¹ Our father Abraham, was he not by works justified, when he offered Ishok his son on the altar? ²² Thou seest that his faith was helpful [Vide CASTELL'S Hept. Lex. in -.] unto his works; and by works his faith was perfected, ²³ and the scripture was accomplished which said, that Abraham believed in Aloha, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness, and the friend of Aloha he was called. ²⁴ Thou seest that by works man is justified, and not by faith alone.

¹ LET there not be many teachers among you, my brethren, but know that a greater condemnation we incur.

¹⁴ and if he be sick, let him call for the presbyters of the church, and they will pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of our Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith shall make whole him who was sick, and our Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

³ Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who by his abundant grace hath begotten us anew through the resurrection of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha unto the hope of salvation, ⁴ and to the inheritance which is not corruptible, and not defiled, and not to be consumed, which is prepared for you in heaven, ⁵ while you are kept by the power of Aloha and through faith, unto the salvation which is prepared to be revealed in the last times;

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

¹³ Wherefore gird up the loins of your minds, and be fully wakeful, and hope for the joy that cometh to you at the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha;

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of the Lamb spotless and unblemished, who is the Meshiha; ²⁰ who was afore-separated for this from before the foundations of the world, and hath been manifested in these last times for you,

²² Let your souls be sanctified in obedience to the truth, and be filled with the charity which respecteth not persons, that with a pure heart and perfect you may love one another,

⁹ and let no man render evil for evil, nor invective for invective, but, that which is contrary to them, bless: for unto this are you called, that the blessing you may inherit.

⁷ BUT the end of all cometh; therefore be sober, and watch unto prayer.

⁹ And be lovers of guests without murmuring.

⁹ And be lovers of guests without murmuring. ¹⁰ And every man of you the gift which he hath received from Aloha, let him minister thereof unto his neighbours as good stewards of the various grace of Aloha.

¹⁰ And every man of you the gift which he hath received from Aloha, let him minister thereof unto his neighbours as good stewards of the various grace of Aloha.

¹⁰ And every man of you the gift which he hath received from Aloha, let him minister thereof unto his neighbours as good stewards of the various grace of Aloha. ¹¹ Whoever shall speak, as the word of Aloha let him speak and whoever ministereth, (he shall minister) as from the power which Aloha giveth to him, that in every thing which you do Aloha may be glorified through Jeshu Meshiha, whose are the glory and honour to the age of ages. Amen.

⁵ And you younger, be subject to your presbyters, and be clothed carefully [Or, closely.] with humility of mind towards one another; because Aloha is against those who exalt themselves, and to the humble he giveth grace. ⁶ Be humbled, therefore, under the mighty hand of Aloha, that he may exalt you at the right time.

⁸ Watch, and be mindful, because your adversary Satana, as a lion, roareth and walketh and seeketh whom he may devour.

⁸ For while these are found with you, and abound, neither slothfulness nor unfruitfulness will stand against you in the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

¹³ But I consider it right, so long as I am in this body, to stir you up in remembrance: [Bephagro hono.] ¹⁴ knowing that the decease of my body is shortly (to be,) as also our Lord Jeshu Meshiha hath made me know. ¹⁵ But be careful also that (these) you may continually have; that also after my going forth the memorial of them you may observe.

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;

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

⁴ and saying, Where is the promise of his advent? for, since our fathers have slept, every thing (abideth) as from the beginning of the creation. ⁵ Unknown to them is this while they are willing, that the heaven was from of old, and the earth from the waters and through the waters [Men mäyo, vabyad mäyo komath.] subsisted, by the word of Aloha: ⁶ those (waters) by which the world that then was, again (was covered) with waters, and perished. 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. ⁸ But this one (truth) be not ignorant of, my beloved, That one day with the Lord (is) as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ Not dilatory is the Lord in his promises, as some consider delay; but is patient on your account, not willing that any man should perish, but (that) every man to repentance should come. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord cometh as a thief: that (day) in which the heavens suddenly [Mensheli.] shall pass away, but the elements burning be dissolved, and the earth and the works that are in it be found not.

¹² and in the fear of Aloha; expecting and desiring the coming of the day of Aloha; that (day) in which the heavens, tried with fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements burning shall melt? ¹³ But new heavens and earth, according to his promise, we expect; those wherein righteousness dwelleth. ¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, while these you expect, be diligent, that, without blemish and without spot, of Him you may be found in peace.

¹⁹ From us they went forth, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, with us would they have remained. But they went forth from us, that it might be known that they were not of us. ²⁰ And you have an anointing from the Holy, and you discern every man.

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

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.

¹⁰ In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha.

¹² Not as Koen, who was from the Evil, and killed his brother. And on what account killed he him? unless that his own works were evil and his brother's righteous. ¹³ Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world hate you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth. ¹⁵ For every one who hateth his brother is a man-killer; and we know that in no man-killer can abide the life which is eternal.

¹⁵ For every one who hateth his brother is a man-killer; and we know that in no man-killer can abide the life which is eternal.

¹⁵ For every one who hateth his brother is a man-killer; and we know that in no man-killer can abide the life which is eternal. ¹⁶ In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves.

¹⁶ In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves.

¹⁶ In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves. ¹⁷ And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha?

¹⁷ And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha?

¹⁷ And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha? ¹⁸ My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth.

¹⁸ My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth. ¹⁹ And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts.

¹⁹ And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts. ²⁰ And if our heart condemn us, how much (more) Aloha, who is greater than our heart, and knoweth every thing!

⁷ My beloved, let us love one another, because love is of Aloha; and every one who loveth from Aloha is born, and knoweth Aloha. For Aloha is Love; ⁸ and every one who loveth not, knoweth not Aloha. ⁹ In this was made known the love of Aloha towards us, that Aloha sent his only Son into the world that we might live by him. ¹⁰ In this is love: it was not that we had loved Aloha, but that Aloha himself loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ MY beloved, if Aloha so hath loved us, we also are indebted to love one another. ¹² Aloha no man hath seen but if we love one another, Aloha in us abideth, and his love is fulfilled in us.

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

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

¹ WHOSOEVER believeth that Jeshu is the Meshiha of Aloha is born. And every one who loveth the Generator loveth also him who is generated of him. ² And by this we know that we love the children of Aloha, when we love Aloha, and work his commandments. ³ For this is the love of Aloha, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not heavy.

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.

⁵ Our beloved, in faithfulness thou performest what thou doest unto the brethren, and especially to those who are strangers, ⁶ who have testified of thy charity, before all the church, to whom thou hast done well according to that which is worthy of Aloha. ⁷ For after his name they went forth, taking nothing from the Gentiles. ⁸ We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be helpers of the truth.

⁵ But I will to remind you, though all of you know, that Aloha, when once the people from Metsreen he had redeemed, yet afterward [Or, secondly.] destroyed them who believed not. ⁶ And the angels who kept not their primacy, but left their habitation, unto the judgment of the great day in chains unknown, under darkness, he hath kept. ⁷ As Sadum and Omuro, and the cities which were around them, which in manner of them committed fornication, and went after other flesh, are lying under everlasting fire, condemned unto judgment.

¹³ turbulent waves of the sea, which, by their foaming, manifest their shame; erring stars, unto whom the blackness of darkness that is eternal is reserved. ¹⁴ But Hanuk also, who was the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying,

¹⁴ But Hanuk also, who was the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, 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.

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.

¹⁹ These are they who separate; - animals, in whom the Spirit is not.

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

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!

⁴ But I have against thee, because thy first love thou hast forsaken. ⁵ Remember, therefore, from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works. But if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick from its place, if thou convert not.

⁵ Remember, therefore, from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works. But if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick from its place, if thou convert not.

¹⁰ Fear not any thing of those that thou art to suffer; for, behold, it will be that the accuser will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life

²⁵ but that which you have, hold, until I come. 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; ²⁸ and I will give to him the morning star.

¹ AND to the angel who is in Sardis write: These saith he who hath the seven Spirits of Aloha, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that a name thou hast that thou livest, and thou art dead. ² Awake, and keep those things which remain, which are about to die; for I have not found thy works complete before my God.

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.

¹⁵ I know thy works, that thou art neither hot nor cold. Would that thou wast cold or hot! ¹⁶ So, because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit thee from my mouth. ¹⁷ Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have become opulent, and of nothing have need; and knowest not that thou art infirm, and miserable, and needy, and blind, and naked; ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold, proved by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and the shame of thy nakedness be not seen; and lave with collyrium thine eyes, that thou mayest see. ¹⁹ All those whom I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. ²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and will open the door, I will enter unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 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.

⁵ And from the throne went forth lightnings and the voice of thunders. And there were seven lamps of fire which burned before His throne, which are the seven Spirits of Aloha.

¹⁰ And thou hast made them [Enun.] to our God kings and priests, and reigning upon the earth.

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.

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.

⁸ And all those who inhabit on the earth will worship him, they whose name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb from the foundation of the world.

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

¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Aloha, which is mingled without sparing* in the cup of his anger. And he shall be tormented in fire and sulphur, before his holy angels and before the throne: [* Vide SCHLEUSNER, sub? (No. 2,) which is the word here incorporated into the Syrian text.] ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment for ever and ever will ascend. And they have no rest day and night who worship the beast of prey and his image.

¹⁵ And BEHOLD, I COME, as the thief. Blessed is he who watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest naked he walk, and they see his shame.

⁸ The beast of prey which thou seest, was, and is not; and will ascend from the abyss, and go into perdition: and they who dwell on the earth will admire, they whose name is not written in the book of life from the foundations of the world, while they see the beast of prey, who was, and is not, and draweth nigh.

⁷ Let us rejoice and exult and give glory unto him; because the marriage feast of the Lamb hath come, and his bride hath made herself ready.

⁷ Let us rejoice and exult and give glory unto him; because the marriage feast of the Lamb hath come, and his bride hath made herself ready. ⁸ And it was given to her to be arrayed in fine linen, resplendent and pure; for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. ⁹ And he said to me, Write, Blessed are they who to the supper of the marriage feast of the Lamb are called. And he said to me, These my words are the true sayings of Aloha.

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

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.

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.

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.

¹⁵ And if a man was not found written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

² And the holy city, Urishlem the new, I saw descending from heaven from Aloha, prepared as the bride is decked for her husband.

⁷ He who overcometh shall inherit these; and I will be to him Aloha, and he shall be my son. ⁸ But the fearful, and the faithless, and sinners, and the unclean, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and servers of idols, and all liars, (shall have) their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and sulphur; which is the second death. ⁹ And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, came and spake with me. saying, Come, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.

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.

²⁰ He who testifieth these saith, Yes: I come quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jeshu.
