¹⁶ The messenger redeeming me from all evil, shall bless the youths; and my name shall be called upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaak and they shall be increased into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

⁹ And David will answer Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and he will say to them, Jehovah lives who redeemed my soul from all straits,

²³ And king Solomon will swear by Jehovah, saying, Thus will God do to me, and thus will he add, for Adonijah spoke this word against his soul.

⁶ Thou shalt destroy those speaking falsehood: a man of bloods and deceit Jehovah will abhor.

¹⁹ Many the evils of the just one, and Jehovah will deliver him from all of them.

⁸ And they will cause their tongue to falter upon themselves: all looking upon them shall be moved.

² Thou wert snared with the sayings of thy mouth, thou wert taken with the sayings of thy mouth.

⁸ The just one was delivered from straits, and the unjust will come in his stead.

² The tongue of the wise will make knowledge good: and the mouth of the foolish will gush forth folly.

⁶ The lips of the foolish one will come into contention, and his mouth will call for blows. ⁷ The mouth of the foolish is destruction to him, and his lips the snare of his soul.

²³ He watching his mouth and his tongue watches his soul from straits.

¹⁸ Good that thou shalt hold fast upon this; also from this thou shalt not lead away thy hand: for he fearing God shall come forth with all of them.

²⁴ And the king said, and they brought these men that ate up Daniel piece meal, and cast into the lion's den, them, their sons, and their wives; and they not down to the bottom of the den even till the lions had power over them, and they broke all their bones in pieces.

²⁵ And all the people having answered, said, His blood upon us, and upon our children.

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? pressure, or perplexity, or expulsion, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ As has been written, That for thy sake we are killed the whole day; we were reckoned as sheep for slaughter. ³⁷ But in all these we obtain a complete victory by him having loved us.

⁹ The Lord knows to deliver the religious out of temptation, and to keep the unjust restrained for the day of judgment;

⁵ As milk and fatness my soul shall be satisfied; and with rejoicing lips shall my mouth praise.

² From the fruit of a man's mouth he shall eat good: and the soul of the transgressing, violence.

²³ Joy to the man in the answer of his mouth: and a word in its time how good

²⁰ From the fruit of a man's mouth his belly shall be filled; and he shall be filled with the increase of his lips. ²¹ Death and life in the hand of the tongue: and they loving it shall eat its fruit

¹⁰ Say to the just, that it is good that they shall eat the fruit of their doings. ¹¹ Wo to the unjust! evil! for the reward of his hands shall be done to him.

⁴¹ He receiving a prophet in a prophet's name, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he receiving the just in the name of the just, shall take the reward of the just ⁴² And whoever should give to drink one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

²⁷ For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his messengers; and then he will give back to each according to his deed.

⁶ Even though just with God to return pressure to them pressing you; ⁷ And to you being pressed a release with us, in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power,

² For if the word spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and bad instruction received the just payment of reward;

²⁶ Having deemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than treasures in Egypt: for he looked to the payment of reward.

⁵ The wise one will hear and he will add learning: and he understanding, shall obtain guidance:

⁷ Thou shalt not be wise in thine eyes: fear Jehovah and depart from evil.

⁹ Thou shalt give to the wise one and he will be more wise: make known to the just one and he will add receiving.

¹² There is a way straight before man, and its latter state the ways of death.

¹⁶ The wise one feared and departed from evil: and the foolish overflowing, and being confident .

² All the ways of man are clean in his eyes, and Jehovah tried the spirits.

²⁵ There is a way straight before a man, and its latter state the ways of death.

²⁰ Hear counsel and receive instruction, so that thou shalt be wise in thy latter state.

² Every way of a man right in his eyes: and Jehovah will prepare hearts.

¹² Sawest thou a man wise in his eyes? hope is for the foolish one more than for him.

¹⁶ The slothful one is wise in his eyes more than seven turning back a reason.

¹¹ The rich man is wise in his eyes, and the poor one understanding shall search him out.

¹² A generation pure in its eyes, and not washed from its finding.

¹³ Good a poor and wise child above an old and foolish king, who knew not more to receive instruction.

¹⁵ And Jeremiah will say to Zedekiah, If I shall announce to thee, killing, wilt thou not put me to death? and if I shall counsel thee, thou wilt not hear to me? ¹⁶ And king Zedekiah will swear to Jeremiah in secret, saying, Jehovah lives who made to us this soul, if I shall put thee to death, and if I shall give thee into the hand of these men who are seeking thy soul ¹⁷ And Jeremiah will say to Zedekiah, Thus said Jehovah, God of armies, God of Israel, If going forth, thou wilt go forth to the chiefs of the king of Babel, and thy soul lived, and this city shall not be burnt with fire; and thou livedst and thy house: ¹⁸ And if thou wilt not go forth to the chiefs of the king of Babel, and this city was given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they burnt it with fire, and thou shalt not escape from their hand. ¹⁹ And king Zedekiah will say to Jeremiah, I fear the Jews who fell to the Chaldeans, lest they shall give me into their hand and they illtreated me. ²⁰ And Jeremiah will say, They shall not give. Hear, now, to the voice of Jehovah for which I speak to thee: and it shall be well to thee, and thy soul shall live. ²¹ And if thou refuse to go forth, this the word which Jehovah caused me to see: ²² And behold, all the women which were left in the house of the king of Judah being brought forth to the chiefs of the king of Babel, and they say, The men of thy peace enticed thee, and they prevailed against thee: they sank thy foot in mire, they turned away back. ²³ And all thy women and all thy sons being brought forth to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape from their hand, for thou shalt be seized by the hand of the king of Babel: and thou shalt burn this city with fire. ²⁴ And Zedekiah will say to Jeremiah, No man shall know of these words, and thou shalt not die. ²⁵ And if the chiefs shall hear that I spake with thee, and they came to thee, and said to thee, Announce now to us what thou spakest to the king; thou shalt not hide from us, and we will not put thee to death; and what said the king to thee: ²⁶ And say thou to them, I cause my supplication to fall before the king, not to turn me back to the house of Jonathan, to die there. ²⁷ And all the chiefs will come to Jeremiah, and they will ask him: and he will announce to them according to all these words which the king commanded. And they will be silent from him, for the word was not heard. ²⁸ And Jeremiah dwelt in the enclosure of the prison even to the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was when Jerusalem was taken.

¹¹ The Pharisee having stood, prayed these to himself, O God, I return thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or also as this publican.

³ For if any think to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself.

³⁰ And Saul's anger will kindle against Jonathan, and he will say to him, Son of crooked rebelliousness, did I not know that thou choosest to the son of Jesse to thy shame and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness? ³¹ For all the days which the son of Jesse lives upon the earth, thou shalt not stand, and thy kingdom. And now send and take him to me, for he is the son of death. ³² And Jonathan will answer Saul his father and say to him, Wherefore shall he die? What did he? ³³ And Saul will lift up his spear against him to strike him, and Jonathan will know that it was finished from his father to kill David. ³⁴ And Jonathan will rise from the table in the heat of wrath, and he will not eat bread in the day of the month the second, for he was grieved for David because his father reproached him.

¹ And Ahab will announce to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all how he killed all the prophets with the sword. ² And Jezebel will send a messenger to Elijah, saying, Thus will God do and thus will he add that according to the time to-morrow I will set thy soul as the soul of one of them.

¹² Hatred will excite strifes: and love will cover over all transgressions.

³³ In the heart of him understanding, wisdom shall rest: and in the midst of fools it shall be made known.

²² The understanding of him possessing it is a fountain of life: and the instruction of the foolish is folly.

⁹ He covering transgression seeks love; and he perverting in the word, separates a, friend.

²⁸ A city being broken down, and not a wall, a man who restrains not to his spirit.

¹¹ The foolish one will bring forth all his spirit; and the wise one will restrain it back.

¹⁹ Wherefore, my dearly beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger:

¹⁴ And Ahimelech will answer the king and say, And who among all thy servants faithful as David, and son-in-law of the king, and he departed at hearing thee, and honored in thy house? ¹⁵ This day did I begin to ask for him in God? far be it to me. The king shall not put upon his servant upon all the house of my father: for thy servant knew not a word upon all this, small or great

¹⁹ A witness of falsehood, breathing out lies, and sending strife between brethren.

⁵ A witness of faithfulnesses will not lie: and a witness of falsehood will breathe out lies.

²⁵ A witness of truth delivers souls: and deceit will breathe out lies.

⁵ A witness of falsehoods shall not be unpunished, and he breathing out lies shall not escape.

²⁸ A witness of Belial shall mock judgment: and the mouth of the unjust will swallow down iniquity.

²⁸ A witness of lies shall perish: and a man hearing, shall speak clearly.

²⁸ Thou shalt not be a witness gratuitously against thy neighbor, and deceive not with thy lips.

¹⁹ For from the heart come forth evil reflections, slaughters, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, defamations:

⁵⁹ And the chief priests, and the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;

¹³ And set false witnesses, saying, This man ceases not speaking defaming words against this holy place, and the law:

¹⁶ Having a good consciousness; that, in what they speak evil against you, as doing evil, they threatening your good turning round in Christ should be ashamed.

² Thy tongue will purpose mischief as a razor being sharpened, working deceit.

⁴ My soul is in the midst of lions: I shall lie down with the flaming, the sons of man, their teeth spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

⁷ Behold, they will gush out with their mouth: swords in their lips: for who heard?

³ Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, they bent their arrows a bitter word:

²² For they are life to those finding them, and healing to all their flesh.

²⁰ The tongue of the just is choice silver: the heart of the unjust is as little. ²¹ The lips of the just one shall feed many: and fools in wanting heart, shall die.

¹⁷ The unjust messenger shall fall into evil: and a messenger of faithfulness is healing.

⁴ The healing of the tongue the tree of life: and perverseness in it a breaking in the spirit

⁷ The lips of the wise will disperse knowledge: and the heart of the foolish not so.

²⁴ Words of pleasantness an, honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and healing to the bones.

¹⁸ A mallet and a sword and an arrow sharpened, the man answering against his neighbor testimony of falsehood.

³³ And those understanding of the people shall cause to understand to many: and they were weak by the sword, and by flame, and by captivity, and by plunder, days.

⁶ (And the tongue a fire, a world of iniquity: so the tongue is placed in our members, defiling the whole body, and burning the wheel of creation; and burned by hell. ⁷ For every nature of beasts, and also of birds, of creeping things, and also of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by the nature of man: ⁸ And the tongue none of men can tame; an ungovernable evil, full of deadly poison.

¹⁶ And having in his right hand seven stars: and going out of his mouth a sharp two-mouthed sword: and his sight as the sun shines in his power.

² In the midst of her broad way and of the river, hence and thence, the tree of life, making twelve fruits, in a month each one returning its fruit: and the leaves of the tree for the cure of the nations.

⁵ For the rejoicing of the unjust drawing near, and the gladness of the profane even for a moment

⁴ Thou lovedst all words of destruction, a tongue of deceit ⁵ Also God will break thee down forever; he will take thee and sweep thee away from the tent, and root thee up from the land of the living. Silence.

⁹ A witness of falsehoods shall not be unpunished, and he breathing out lies shall perish.

⁴ Ye shall not be as your fathers which the former prophets called to them, saying, Thus, said Jehovah of armies: Turn back now from your evil ways and your evil doings: and they heard not, and they attended not to me, says Jehovah. ⁵ Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, shall they live forever? ⁶ But the words and the laws which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not reach your fathers? and they will turn back and say, As Jehovah of armies purposed to do to us according to our ways and according to our doings, so he did with us.

³⁵ The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words should not pass away.

³ And Peter said, Ananias, wherefore filled Satan thy heart, for thee to belie the Holy Spirit, and separate from the price of the farm ⁴ Remaining, did it not remain to thee? and sold, it was in thy power: for what hast thou put this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied to men, but to God. ⁵ And Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, he expired: and great fear was upon all them hearing these things. ⁶ And the younger having risen up, drew him together, and having carried out, interred. ⁷ And there was an interval of about three hours, and his wife not knowing that done, came in. ⁸ And Peter answered to her, Tell me, if for so much ye sold the farm? And she said, Yes, for so much. ⁹ And Peter said to her, For what was it agreed by you to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them having interred thy husband at the door, and they shall carry thee out. ¹⁰ And she fell immediately at his feet, and expired: and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried out, interred near her husband.

²⁴ He hating will be known by his lips, and he will set deceit in his midst; ²⁵ When his voice will compassionate, thou shalt not believe him, for seven abominations in his heart ²⁶ Hatred will be covered by deceit, his evil will be revealed in the convocation.

⁶ For a child was born to us, a son was given to us, and the dominion shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, everlasting Father, Captain of Peace. ⁷ To the increase of his dominion and to peace no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to prepare it and to support it in judgment and in justice from now and even to forever: the zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this.

¹⁶ And I withdrew not from following after thee; I desired not man's day, thou knewest: the going forth of my lips was straight before thee.

¹³ And he shall build the temple of Jehovah; and he shall lift up the majesty, and he sat and ruled upon his throne: and he was priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them two.

⁹ Happy they making peace: for they shall be called sons of God.

²¹ For within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil reflections, adulteries, fornications, murders, ²² Thefts, overreaching, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, defamation, pride, foolishness:

¹⁴ And they having come, say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and thou carest not for any one: for thou lookest not to the face of men, but in truth thou teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or no? ¹⁵ Should we give, or not give? And he knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a drachma that I might see it. ¹⁶ And they brought. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's. ¹⁷ And Jesus having answered, said to them, Give back Caesar's things to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they wondered at him.

²⁹ Having been filled with all injustice, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, badness; full of envy, slaughter, strife, deceit, malignity,

¹⁴ Follow peace with all, and consecration, without which none shall see the Lord:

⁸ And finally, all unanimous, suffering together, loving the brethren, having good bowels, an affectionate disposition: ⁹ Not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing: and on the contrary prayer; knowing that to this were ye called, that ye might inherit praise. ¹⁰ For he wishing to love life, and to see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit: ¹¹ Let him bend away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and follow it. ¹² For the eyes of the Lord upon the just, and his ears to their prayer: and the face of the Lord against them doing evil. ¹³ And who going to injure you, if ye be imitators of good?

¹⁰ Evil shall not approach to thee, and a blow shall not come near in thy tent

¹⁴ He drawing back the heart shall be filled from his ways: and a good man from above him.

¹² And say to them this word: Thus said Jehovah God of Israel, Every flask shall be filled with wine: and they said to thee, Knowing, shall it not be known that every flask shall be filled with wine? ¹³ And say to them, Thus said Jehovah, Behold me filling all inhabiting this land, and all the kings sitting to David upon his throne, and the priests and the prophets, and all inhabiting Jerusalem, with drunkenness. ¹⁴ And I dashed them in pieces, a man against his brother, and the fathers and the sons together, says Jehovah. I will not pity, and I will not spare, and I will not compassionate from destroying them.

¹⁶ Thou wert satisfied with dishonor rather than honor: drink thou also and be uncircumcised: the cup of the right hand of Jehovah shall turn upon thee, and ignominy upon thy glory.

²⁸ And we know that to them loving God, all things work together for good, to them being called according to the setting up.

²² Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or about to be; all are yours; ²³ And ye of Christ; and Christ of God.

¹⁷ For the present moment the lightness of our pressure works to us an eternal weight of glory, as eminence upon eminence;

¹³ And who going to injure you, if ye be imitators of good?

⁶ Give back to her as also she gave back to you, and double to her double things according to her works: in the cup in which she mixed, mix to her double.

¹⁶ These six Jehovah hated, and seven an abomination of his soul: ¹⁷ Eyes being lifted up; a tongue of falsehood, and hands shedding innocent blood,

¹ Balances of deceit, an abomination of Jehovah: and a whole stone his delight

²⁰ The perverse of heart are an abomination of Jehovah, and the blameless of way his delight

⁸ The sacrifice of the unjust an abomination of Jehovah: and the prayer of the upright his acceptance.

¹⁵ The old man and they lifting up faces, he the head; and the prophet teaching falsehood, be the tail.

²⁴ But he boasting shall boast in this, to understand and know me, that I am Jehovah, doing mercy, judgment and justice in the earth: for in these I delighted, says Jehovah.

¹⁹ Ye will profane me to my people for handfuls of barley and for morsels of bread, to kill the souls which shall not die, and to preserve alive the souls which shall not live, by your falsehood to my people hearing the falsehood?

²² Because ye afflicted the heart of the just one with falsehood, and I afflicted him not; and to strengthen the hands of the evil one not to turn back from his evil way, to preserve him alive.

⁸ But to the cowardly, and unbelieving, and to the abominable, and murderers, and to fornicators, and charmers, and to idolaters, and to all the lying, their part in the lake burning with fire and sulphur: which is the second death,

¹⁵ And without, dogs, and charmers and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one loving and doing a lie.

¹⁴ The wise shall hide knowledge: and the mouth of the foolish drew near destruction.

¹⁹ In the multitude of words transgression shall not cease: and he withholding his lips is prudent

¹³ He going about tale-bearing reveals a secret: and he being faithful of spirit hides the word.

¹⁶ Every prudent one will do in knowledge: and the foolish one will spread folly.

³ And also as the foolish one went in the way, his heart was wanting, and he said to all, It is folly.

¹² The words of the wise one's mouth, grace; and the lips of the foolish one shall swallow him down. ¹³ The beginning of the words of his mouth, folly: and the latter state of his mouth the folly of evil. ¹⁴ And the foolish one will multiply words: man shall not know what shall be; and what shall be after him, who shall announce to him?

¹⁵ And he will see the rest that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and he extended his shoulder to bear, and he will be a servant to tribute.

²¹ Their sons which were left after them in the land, which the sons of Israel will not be able to destroy them, and Solomon will bring them up for tribute of work even to this day.

²⁸ And the man Jeroboam mighty of strength: and Solomon will see the boy that he did work, and he will appoint him for the burden of the house of Joseph.

²⁰ And it will be when all Israel heard that Jeroboam turned back, and they will send and call him to the assembly, and they will make him king over all Israel, and there was none after the house of David except the tribe of Judah alone.

⁴ A slothful hand makes poverty, and the hand of the active will make rich.

²⁷ The slothful one shall not ensnare his hunting: and the substance of the active man is precious.

⁴ The soul of the slothful one desiring, and nothing: and the soul of the active shall be made fat

² An understanding servant shall rule a son causing shame, and shall divide the inheritance in the midst of the brethren.

¹⁵ Sloth will cast a deep sleep; and the soul of sloth shall hunger.

²⁵ The desire of the slothful shall kill him, for his hands refused to work, ²⁶ He longed a longing all the day: and the just one shall give and not keep back.

¹³ The slothful one said, A lion without; I shall be slain in the midst of the broad places.

²⁹ Sawest thou a man apt in his works? Before kings shall he stand; he shall not stand before the dark ones

³⁰ I passed upon the field of the slothful man, and upon the vineyard of the man wanting heart; ³¹ And behold, it came up all of it with thorns; brambles covered its face, and the wall of its stones was overthrown. ³² And I shall see and set my heart: I looked, I took instruction. ³³ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down: ³⁴ And thy poverty came going about, and thy want as a man of shield.

¹³ The slothful one said, A lion in the way; a lion between the broad places. ¹⁴ A door will turn upon its hinge, and the slothful upon his bed. ¹⁵ The slothful one hid his hand in the dish; he was weary to turn it back to his mouth. ¹⁶ The slothful one is wise in his eyes more than seven turning back a reason.

¹ And it will be in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year to Arthasatha the king, wine before him: and I shall lift up the wine and give to the king. And I was not sad before him. ² And the king will say to me, Wherefore thy face sad, and thou not being, sick? This nothing but sadness of heart. And I shall be very greatly afraid.

⁶ My stripes became loathsome: they flowed from the face of my folly.

¹¹ Why wilt thou be bowed down, O my soul? and why wilt thou be disturbed upon me? Hope upon God, for yet shall I praise him, the salvation of my face and my God.

¹⁸ There is he talking idly as the piercings of the sword: and the tongue of the wise is healing.

¹⁰ The heart will know the bitterness of its soul, and in its joys the stranger shall not mingle.

¹³ A heart of joy will do the face good: and by pains of heart the spirit was dejected.

¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are evil: and the good of heart drinking always.

²² A joyful heart shall make good healing: and a dejected spirit shall dry up the bones.

¹⁴ The spirit of man will sustain his disease; and a dejected spirit who shall lift up?

¹¹ Apples of gold in images of silver is the word spoken upon its wheels.

⁹ Oil and incense will rejoice the heart: and the sweetness from his friend from the counsel of the soul.

⁴ The Lord Jehovah gave to me the tongue of the expert to know to help the weary with a word: he will rouse up in the morning by morning, he will rouse up to me the ear to hear as the expert

¹³ And Jehovah will answer the messenger speaking with me good words, consoling words.

³³ And he takes Peter and James and John with himself, and began to be amazed, and to be dejected. ³⁴ And he says to them, My soul is sorely grieved, even to death: remain here, and watch.

⁴ For out of much pressure and anxiety of heart I wrote to you through many tears; not that ye should be 'grieved, but that ye might know the love I have more abundantly towards you. ⁵ And if any have grieved, he has not grieved me, but by part; that I might not overload you all. ⁶ Sufficient to such a one this enjoyment of the esteem of the many. ⁷ So that on the contrary ye should rather show kindness, and console, lest perhaps such be swallowed down with more abundant sadness.

³ To the holy ones that are upon the earth, they and the mighty ones, all my delight is in them.

¹² From the brightness before him the clouds passed over, hail and coals of fire. ¹³ And Jehovah will thunder in the heavens, and the Most High will give his voice; hail and coals of fire.

¹³ In the transgression of the lips is the snare of evil: and the just one shall come forth out of straits.

²⁷ He withholding his words will shew knowledge: I man of understanding is a cool spirit

⁴⁶ For if ye love them loving you, what reward. have you? do not also the tax collectors the same? ⁴⁷ And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye above ordinary? and do not the tax collectors the same? ⁴⁸ Therefore, be ye perfected, as your Father which is in the heavens is perfected.

³² And if ye love them loving you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful would love those loving them. ³³ And if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful do the same. ³⁴ And if ye lend of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace is to you? for also the sinful lend to the sinful, that they might receive back the like things. ³⁵ But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing back; and your reward shall be much, and ye shall be sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the graceless and evil. ³⁶ Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate.

¹³ Let none say being tempted, that I am tempted of God: for God is not tempted of evils, and he tempts none: ¹⁴ And each is tempted from his own lust, being drawn out, and decoyed.

¹⁸ Servants being subjected to masters in all fear; not only to the good and equitable, but also to the crooked. ¹⁹ For this is grace, if any by consciousness of God bear grief, suffering unjustly. ²⁰ For what glory, if, sinning and being cuffed, ye endure? but if, doing good, and suffering, ye endure, this is grace with God. ²¹ For to this were ye called: for also Christ suffered for you, leaving behind to you an underwriting, that ye should follow upon his footsteps:

¹⁸ For speaking excessive things of vanity, they decoy with the eager desires of the flesh, for licentiousness, them having truly escaped from those turned back in error. ¹⁹ Promising them liberty, they being servants of corruption: for by whom any is conquered, by him has he been made to serve. ²⁰ For if having escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and again entangling with these, they be conquered, the last things have been to them worse than the first. ²¹ For it was better for them not to have known the way of justice, than, having known, to turn back from the holy command delivererd to them. ²² And that of the true proverb has happened to them, The dog having turned back to his own vomit; and the sow having been washed to the rolling of the mire.

²⁶ These I wrote to you concerning them deceiving you.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, he deceiving the whole habitable globe: he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁴ And he deceives them dwelling upon earth by the signs which were given him to do before the wild beast; saying to them dwelling upon earth, to make an image to the wild beast, who has the blow of the sword, and he lived.

¹⁶ A little to the just one is good more than the wealth of many unjust.

¹⁶ Good is little with the fear of Jehovah more than much treasure and confusion with it

⁸ Good a little with justice above abundance of increase with no judgment

² And put a knife to thy swallow if thou the possessor of a soul.

¹⁵ The slothful one hid his hand in the dish; he was weary to turn it back to his mouth.

¹⁵ See, I gave before thy face this day the life and the good, and the death and the evil;

¹¹ For in me thy days shall be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.

¹⁶ The labors of the just one, to life: the increase of the unjust to sin.

¹⁹ So justice to life, and he pursuing evil, to his death.

⁹ In my laws he shall go and he watched my judgments to do the truth; he is just; living, he shall live, says the Lord Jehovah.

²⁰ The soul sinning, it shall die. The son shall not bear for the iniquity of the father, and the father shall not bear for the iniquity of the son: the justice of the just one shall be upon him, and the injustice of the unjust one shall be upon him. ²¹ And if the unjust one shall turn back from all his sins which he did, and he watched all my laws and did judgment and justice; living, he shall live; he shall not die. ²² All his transgressions which he did shall not be remembered to him: in his justice which he did he shall live. ²³ Delighting, shall I delight in the death of the unjust one? says the Lord Jehovah: not in his turning back from his way and living? ²⁴ And in the just turning back from his justice, and doing iniquity according to all the abominations which the unjust one did, will he do and live? all his justices which he did shall not be remembered: in his transgression which he transgressed and in his sins which he sinned, in them he shall die.

²¹ That as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign by justice to life eternal, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²² And now freed from sin, and subdued to God, ye have your fruit to consecration, and the end life eternal. ²³ For the purchasing the provisions of sin, death; and the grace of God, life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹¹ For the grace of God who saves, was manifested to all men, ¹² Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and eager worldly desires, we should live discreetly, and justly, and religiously, in the time now;

²⁹ If ye know that he is just, ye know that every one doing justice has been born of him.

⁷ Little children, let none deceive you: he doing justice is just, as he is just.

¹¹ Dearly beloved, imitate not evil, but good. He doing good is of God: and he doing evil has not seen God.
